7th Octave-Psychodelix Holyghost

The 7th Octave is the brainchild of front man, Professor Griff. (Minister of Information for the world-renown rap group PUBLIC ENEMY). Consisting of PROF GRIFF and SOCIETY on Vocals, KHARI WYNN on Guitar, TAMI BASS on Bass, OMAR PHILLIPS on Drums, and DJ EARTH 1NE on the 1s and 2s (with a little help from Duminee “Doom” and Ronnie Esperanza), this diverse group forms the musical collective known as The 7TH OCTAVE. The 7th Octave is spawned from the love of Hip-Hop, Rock and Social Consciousness. Nowadays, more often than not, artists in almost every musical genre stray away from or simply refuse to deal with substantive or even creative subject matter. In the age of disposable “Pop Teen Sensations” and “Cookie Cutter” Hip-Hop acts, The 7th Octave offers a different musical and lyrical perspective to draw from — metal riffs and gritty Hip-Hop rhythms laced with fiery lyrics and blistering instrumentation. This musical expression is revealed in their new release: GOD DAMAGE, which features the soon-to-be street anthem “TOUCH.” The 7th Octave takes on thought provoking issues and expresses their viewpoint in a manner that is accepted on the streets as well as in the minds of the millenium.

Cowboy Troy

Biography

Troy graduated from Skyline High School in the Dallas Independent School District. He then attended the University of Texas at Austin and received a bachelors degree. Prior to beginning his career as a singer, he worked as the manager of a Dallas area Foot Locker.

He got the name Cowboy Troy in college, after a friend used the name to distinguish the cowboy-hat-wearing Coleman from his other friends named Troy.

Career

On May 17, 2005, Troy released his first major-label solo album, Loco Motive, through the RAYBAW records production label and the Warner Music Group distribution label.[4] The album debuted at #2 on Billboard’s Top Country Albums chart. The first single, “I Play Chicken with the Train,” peaked at #48 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart on April 9, 2005 and was the #1 country download at the iTunes Music Store on April 15, 2005.

As a Chevrolet promotion, Troy, Wilson, and Big & Rich released “Our America” as a free, time-limited download on July 1, 2005. They also performed the song live at the Boston Pops concert on July 4, 2005. “Our America” combines “The Star-Spangled Banner” with spoken word of parts of the U.S. Constitution, Declaration of independence, Pledge of Allegiance and Martin Luther King, Jr.’s “I Have a Dream” speech. The song peaked at #44 on Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart, and appears as a bonus track on both Big & Rich’s Comin’ to Your City and Wilson’s All Jacked Up albums.

Cowboy Troy released the single “If You Don’t Wanna Love Me”, a duet with Sarah Buxton. The single failed to chart, as did the follow-up, “My Last Yee Haw.” A promotional single, titled “Hook ‘Em Horns”, was released on February 14, 2006 after his alma mater (Texas) won the national championship in football.

2006-present

Cowboy Troy co-hosted, with Jewel, the fifth season of Nashville Star on the USA Network and CMT Canada.

Troy made a special appearance at the March 13, 2006 episode of WWE’s RAW in Beaumont, Texas. He came to the announcer’s table and helped announce for the match between superstars Edge and Goldust. His entrance music was “My Last Yee Haw.” The April 30 episode of WWE’s Raw, broadcast from Nashville, showed Troy in the crowd. The announcers mentioned him, and his duties hosting Nashville Star. In 2007, he released Black in the Saddle.

Troy parted ways with Warner Bros. Nashville in 2008. He released Demolition Mission: Studio Blue Sessions in 2009.

Shinobi Ninja

Shinobi Ninja

Mashing up Hip Hop, Punk, Reggae, Rock, and Metal, into an original urban sound, the six members of Shinobi Ninja form a “Voltron-esque” rock group, bound by the love of music and a hardbody party lifestyle. Known for their explosive live performances and extraordinary hustle, the band has spent the last eight months on the road making a name for itself one show and one fan at a time.

“To put it simply, they are a walking, breathing and screaming cartoon: Loud, colorful and full of enough energy to put nearly any another band to shame.” – Radio Exile

In February 2010, the band released “Shinobi Ninja Attacks!” a Nintendo-style video game album for iPhone, iPod, and iPad that was featured in the Apple Store’s “Hot New Games” section and downloaded nearly 10,000 times in three short months. Prior to forming Shinobi Ninja, each member had respective careers in the music industry. Vocalist, D.A. and, bassist, Jonny on the Rocks had been producers and engineers at Progressive Studios. Vocalist, Baby G, who worked as a singer and dancer for major label artists like Ricky Martin, Diddy, Cassie, and Santogold, was a fixture in the vocal master class held at Progressive by esteemed vocalist, Craig Derry of the Sugarhill Gang. Twin brothers, guitarist, Maniac Mike and, drummer, Terminator Dave ran The Sound Machine, a recording studio where they produced their projects and the work of other artists. DJ Axis, an accomplished battle and club DJ, played in bands with Mike and Dave.

After two years of making a living together at Progressive Studios and The Sound Machine, this group of eclectic musicians decided to combine influences. Shinobi Ninja will release “The Video Game EP” on June 15th. The five song set had only been available to fans through the band’s video game app (by beating the game or attending a live show and using the location based unlock). Now, it’s being offered to the public through traditional digital outlets, the band’s website and social media pages for $5 son, $5!

Michael Jackson Tribute

Charley Pride

Charley Pride (born Charley Frank Pride, March 18, 1938) is an American country music singer and baseball player.

Pride’s smooth baritone voice was featured on thirty-six number-one hits on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts. His greatest success came in the early-to-mid 1970s, when he was the best-selling performer for RCA Records since Elvis Presley. His chart success and recordings since the late 1980s have been sporadic, but Pride continued touring successfully.

Pride is one of the few African-American country musicians to have had considerable success in the largely white country music industry and the only one to be inducted into the Grand Ole Opry.

Early life and career

Pride was born in Sledge, Mississippi, one of eleven children of poor sharecroppers. His father named him “Charl Frank Pride,” but because of an error on his birth certificate, his legal name is Charley Frank Pride.[2] In his early teens, Pride began playing guitar.

Though he also loved music, one of Pride’s life-long dreams was to become a professional baseball player. In 1952, he pitched for the Memphis Red Sox of the Negro American League. He pitched well, and, in 1953, he signed a contract with the Boise Yankees, the Class C farm team of the New York Yankees. During that season, an injury caused him to lose the “mustard” on his fastball, and he was sent to the Yankees’ Class D team in Fond du Lac, Wisconsin. Later that season, while in the Negro Leagues with the Louisville Clippers, he and another player (Jesse Mitchell), were traded to the Birmingham Black Barons for a team bus. “Jesse and I may have the distinction of being the only players in history to be traded for a used motor vehicle,” Pride mused in his 1994 autobiography.

He pitched for several other minor league teams, his hopes of making it to the big leagues still alive. Pride appeared to be advancing to a career in baseball, but the Army derailed this. After serving two years in the military, he tried to return to baseball.[4] Though hindered by an injury to his throwing arm, Pride briefly played for the Missoula Timberjacks of the Pioneer League (a farm club of the Cincinnati Reds) in 1960, and had tryouts with the California Angels (1961) and the New York Mets (1962) organizations, but was not picked up by either team. When it became apparent that he was not destined for greatness on the baseball diamond, Pride pursued a music career.

On June 5, 2008, Pride, his brother, Mack “The Knife” Pride, and 28 other living former Negro League players were “drafted” by each of the 30 Major League Baseball teams in a recognition of the on-field achievements and historical relevance of 30 mostly forgotten Negro League stars. Pride was picked by the Texas Rangers while his brother was taken by the Colorado Rockies.

Rise to music fame

While he was active in baseball, Pride had been encouraged to join the music business by country stars such as Red Sovine and Red Foley, and was working towards this career. In 1958, in Memphis, Tennessee, Pride visited Sun Studios and recorded some songs. One song has survived on tape, and was released in the United Kingdom as part of a box set. The song is a slow stroll in walking tempo called “Walkin’ (the Stroll).”

After struggling to get a contract with a record label, he finally caught the ear of record producer Chet Atkins. Atkins was the longtime producer of RCA Records who had made stars out of country singers such as Jim Reeves, Skeeter Davis and others. Pride was signed to RCA in 1966. In 1966, he released his first single with RCA, “Snakes Crawl at Night”. On the records of this song submitted to radio stations for airplay, the singer was listed as “Country Charley Pride”. At this time, country music was a white medium.

Soon after the release of “Snakes Crawl at Night”, Pride released another single called “Before I Met You”. Soon after, Pride’s third single, “Just Between You and Me”, was released. This song was what finally brought Pride success on the Country charts. The song reached #9 on US Country chart.

Height of his career

The success of “Just Between You and Me” was enormous. He won a Grammy Award for the song the next year.

In 1967, he became the first black performer to appear at the Grand Ole Opry since harmonica player DeFord Bailey in 1925.

He also appeared in 1967 on the American Broadcasting Company’s “The Lawrence Welk Show”.

Between 1969 and 1971 Pride had eight single records that simultaneously reached number one on the US Country Hit Parade and also charted on the Billboard Hot 100: “All I Have to Offer You (Is Me)”, “(I’m So) Afraid of Losing You Again”, “I Can’t Believe That You’ve Stopped Loving Me”, “I’d Rather Love You”, “Is Anybody Goin’ to San Antone”, “Wonder Could I Live There Anymore?”, “I’m Just Me”, and “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’”. The pop success of these songs reflected the country/pop crossover sound that was reaching Country music in the 1960s and early 1970s, known as “Countrypolitan”. In 1969 his compilation album, The Best of Charley Pride sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc.
“Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’”

In 1971, he would release what would become his biggest hit “Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’”, a million-selling crossover single that helped Pride land the Country Music Association’s prestigious Entertainer of the Year award, as well as Top Male Vocalist.[12] He won CMA’s Top Male Vocalist award again in 1972.

“Kiss an Angel Good Mornin’” became Pride’s signature tune. Besides being a five-week country #1 in late 1971 and early 1972, the song was also his only pop Top 40 hit, hitting #21, and reaching the Top Ten of the Adult Contemporary charts as well.

Pride during the 1970s, 1980s and beyond

During the rest of the 1970s and into the 1980s, Pride continued to rack up country music hits. Other Pride standards of the 1970s and 1980s include “Is Anybody Goin’ To San Antone?”, “Mississippi Cotton Picking Delta Town,” “Someone Loves You, Honey,” “When I Stop Leaving (I’ll Be Gone),” “Burgers and Fries”, “I Don’t Think She’s In Love Anymore”, “Roll On Mississippi”, “Never Been So Loved (In All My Life)” and “You’re So Good When You’re Bad.” Like many other country performers, he has paid tribute to Hank Williams, with an album of songs that were all written by Hank entitled There’s a Little Bit of Hank in Me, which included top-sellers of Williams’ classics “Kaw-Liga,” “Honky Tonk Blues” and “You Win Again”.

Pride has sold over 70 million records (singles, albums, compilation included).

He stayed with RCA Records until 1986. At that point, he allegedly grew angry over the fact that the record company began to promote newer artists and not older artists who had been with the company for years. He moved on to 16th Avenue Records, where Pride bounced back with the #5 hit, “Shouldn’t it be Easier Than This.” He had a few minor hits with 16th Avenue, as well.

Pride’s lifelong passion for baseball continues; he has an annual tradition of joining the Texas Rangers for workouts during Spring Training. A big Rangers fan (Dallas has been his home for many years), Pride is often seen at their games.

In 2008, Pride received the Mississippi Arts Commission’s lifetime achievement award during the organization’s Governor’s Awards for Excellence in the Arts.

Pride had the distinction of singing the Paul Newman directed film Sometimes a Great Notion’s main soundtrack song “All His Children” in 1970. The film starred Newman and Henry Fonda and received two Oscar nominations in 1972, one being for the song that Pride sang.

Living Colour

Bio from Living Colour’s Myspace page

During the 1980s, rock had become completely segregated and predictable; the opposite of the late ’60s/early ’70s, when such musically and ethnically varied artists as Jimi Hendrix, Sly & the Family Stone, and Santana ruled the Earth. But bands such as New York’s Living Colour helped break down the doors by the end of the ’80s, leading to a much more open-minded musical landscape that would eventually pave the way for future bands (Rage Against the Machine, Sevendust, etc.). The group (singer Corey Glover, guitarist Vernon Reid, bassist Muzz Skillings, and drummer Will Calhoun) first formed in the mid-’80s, with Reid being the only member with real prior band experience; he was a member of Ronald Shannon Jackson’s experimental jazz outfit THE DECODING SOCIETY, and had recorded with Defunkt, Public Enemy, as well as issuing a solo album with Bill Frisell, 1984’s Smash & Scatteration.

It took the fledgling band a few years for their sound to gel, as they honed their act at N.Y.C.’s famed CBGB’s. But the group found an unlikely supporter in Mick Jagger, who took the band under his wing, produced a demo for the quartet, and helped them secure a record deal with Epic (just prior, Glover had to take a brief leave of absence from the band, as he landed a role in Oliver Stone’s Vietnam War epic movie, Platoon). Living Colour’s debut album, Vivid, was issued in the summer of 1988, yet it would take a few months for momentum to build. By the winter, the band’s striking video for their anthem “Cult of Personality” was all over MTV, pushing Vivid to the upper reaches of the charts and to platinum certification. Living Colour also took home their first of several Grammy Awards, as “Cult” won Best Hard Rock Performance at the 1989 ceremony, and the band supported the release with a string of dates opening stadiums for the Rolling Stones’ first U.S. tour in eight years that autumn.

Starting with Vivid and continuing on future albums, the band showed that rock could still convey a message (as evidenced by such tracks as “Open Letter to a Landlord,” “Funny Vibe,” among others). The quartet regrouped a year later for their sophomore effort, Time’s Up, an album that performed respectfully on the charts but failed to live up to the expectations of their smash debut. An appearance at the inaugural Lollapalooza tour in the summer of 1991 kept the group in the public’s eye, as did an EP of outtakes, Biscuits. Skillings left the group shortly thereafter (replaced by studio vet Doug Wimbish), as their darkest and most challenging release yet, Stain, was issued in 1993. Although it failed to sell as well as its predecessors, it retained the band’s large and dedicated following, as Living Colour appeared to be entering an interesting and groundbreaking new musical phase of their career. The band began writing the following year for what would be their fourth full-length, but an inability to settle on a single musical direction caused friction between the members, leading to Living Colour’s demise in early 1995, and the best-of Pride, was released.

In the wake of Living Colour’s split, all of its former members pursued other projects. Reid issued a solo album, 1996’s Mistaken Identity (as well as guesting on other artist’s recordings), while Glover attempted to launch a career as a solo artist, issuing the overlooked Hymns in 1998 and finding time to appear as a VJ on VH1 and acting in the 1996 movie Loose Women. Calhoun and Wimbish remained together and launched a new outfit, the drum’n'bass-inspired Jungle Funk, who issued a self-titled debut release in 1997 (Wimbish also issued a solo album, Trippy Notes for Bass, in 1999). With Living Colour out of commission for several years by the early 21st century, Calhoun and Wimbish teamed up once more with Glover in a new outfit, Headfake, playing often in the New York City area. A few days before Christmas in 2000, Headfake played a show at CBGB’s, and were joined on-stage by Reid, which led to rumors of an impending Living Colour reunion. The rumors proved to be true, as Living Colour launched their first tour together in six years during the summer of 2001.

In 2003, Living Colour returned with a deal with Sanctuary and their most experimental release to date, Collideøscope

Orange 9mm-High Speed Changer

Orange 9mm was a post-hardcore band from New York City formed in 1994 by Chaka Malik and Chris Traynor after the breakup of Malik’s band Burn.

Suffocation-Abomination Reborn

From http://www.myspace.com/suffocation
Few bands can be credited with creating a legacy, however, legendary New York based extreme metal outfit SUFFOCATION have done just that. For 20 years now SUFFOCATION have been creating music that has become the very standard by which we judge all things extreme.

Their fusion of technicality, groove and sheer unrelenting brutality has been imitated but never quite duplicated. Milestone records such as Effigy of the Forgotten, Pierced from Within, and Despise the Sun have influenced a wealth of today’s best musical talents. And now, with the release of SUFFOCATION’s Nuclear Blast debut Blood Oath, their legacy of unrelenting and unique heaviness continues for perhaps the genres greatest band!

Formed in 1989, SUFFOCATION released their three-song demo, Re-incremation. Within weeks of its release came the interest of many record labels that wanted to claim stake to the first SUFFOCATION full-length album.

The band chose to release their follow-up, an EP entitled Human Waste, through Relapse Records in 1991. Human Waste saw SUFFOCATION bash out the beginnings of extreme metal’s most visible style, the New York combination of blasting grind-cord beats and metallic textures. But this was only the beginning.

In 1991, the now classic Effigy of the Forgotten (inducted recently into Decibel Magazine’s “Hall of Fame”) was released by Roadrunner Records. Effigy of the Forgotten brought SUFFOCATION and death metal to a new echelon, taking the multiple languages of music and unifying them in an evocative, thundering chorus of extreme metal.

In 1993, the band released their second full-length album, Breeding the Spawn, on Roadrunner Records. Breeding the Spawn surpassed expectations. This highly rhythmic album built on the legacy of their previous releases.

Following the release of 1995’s Pierced From Within on Roadrunner Records, SUFFOCATION embarked on massive tours of Europe, Canada, Mexico and the United States, playing to tens of thousands of fans.

In 1998, they released the EP Despise the Sun on Vulture Records and disbanded soon after. Extreme metal fans wept at the loss of one the genres greatest champions and pioneers. Eventually the EP was re-released in September 2000 and properly distributed by Relapse Records.

In 2003, SUFFOCATION reformed after a much needed break and in April 2004, Relapse Records released Souls to Deny. The groups return was a truly devastating display of technical extreme metal. Over 400 shows and countless United States and European tours later (including the Wacken Festival in Germany, playing to over 33,000 fans), SUFFOCATION entered the studio to record the most mature and destructive album of their now legendary career. Suffocation, their 2006 self-titled release, again proved why they have solidly held their position as one of the most important and influential bands in the genre.

In 2008, the band signed a world-wide deal with Nuclear Blast Records and began working on material for their label debut. By 2009, SUFFOCATION had entered Full Force Studios once again with Joe Cincotta (Internal Bleeding, Criminal Element), who the band had worked with to record their two previous efforts. Zack Ohren (All Shall Perish, Decrepit Birth) was enlisted this time around for his mixing and mastering capabilities to capture the band’s ever-elusive live sound and intensity. The collaboration between all the parties involved has resulted in what is without a doubt their finest production to date! Add in the artwork and sick visualization of the Blood Oath concept by cult artist Jon Zig (Gorgasm, Deeds of Flesh) and you have the bands most complete all-around release yet.

Forged in the blood sweat in tears of its members, SUFFOCATION’s oath to uphold their uncompromising sound remains intact. In this era that accepts quality extreme acts more than ever, 2009 will see SUFFOCATION explode from the underground into the mainstream. All hail the reigning kings of brutality!

Childhood
Shider was born in Plainfield, New Jersey. At the age of ten and under the guidance of his father Jesse, Garry and his brothers played and sang behind many gospel artists of the time including legends such as Shirley Caesar, The Five Blind Boys, The Mighty Clouds of Joy, and others. As a youth Shider was also a regular customer at the Plainfield barbershop owned by George Clinton, where the future members Parliament would sing doo-wop for customers and counsel local youngsters. Clinton made note of the young Shider’s talents on guitar and his ability with gospel singing.

United Soul and Parliament-Funkadelic
By the time he was sixteen, Shider wished to escape the crime and dead-end prospects of Plainfield, so he and his friend Cordell “Boogie” Mosson left for Canada where they formed a funk/rock band called United Soul, or “U.S.”. George Clinton was living in Toronto, Ontario at the time and began hearing about United Soul from people in the local music business, and took the band under his wing upon learning that Shider was a member. In 1971, Clinton produced several tracks by United Soul with input from members of Funkadelic. The songs “I Miss My Baby” and “Baby I Owe You Something Good” were released as a one-off single by Westbound Records in 1971 under the group name U.S. Music with Funkadelic. All the tracks recorded with Clinton in 1971 were released by Westbound in 2009 as the album U.S. Music With Funkadelic. After producing United Soul, Clinton then invited Shider and Mosson to join Parliament-Funkadelic. Two United Soul songs were rerecorded on later Funkadelic albums with Shider as a member. Clinton groomed Shider for an important role in the P-Funk roster, which Shider joined full-time in 1972. He was a prominent contributor to albums by both Parliament and Funkadelic until the dissolution of those two bands in the early 1980s, after which he continued to work regularly with Clinton’s P-Funk All-Stars.

Accomplishments
During Parliament-Funkadelic performances Shider was known for appearing in a diaper, making him instantly recognizable on stage and earning him the nickname “Diaper Man”. Shider is featured prominently in the hit songs like, “Cosmic Slop,” “Getting to Know You,” and “One Nation Under A Groove”. He co-wrote many noteworthy Parliament-Funkadelic songs, and he made important contributions to P-Funk spin-off acts including Bootsy Collins and Eddie Hazel. Shider has been featured in Guitar Player Magazine three times, and once in the Japanese version. He has been featured in Who’s Who in Music and appeared on a compilation album by Paul Shaffer of the David Letterman band, and also on rock group The Black Crowes’ 1996 album Three Snakes and One Charm. Shider has also appeared on Saturday Night Live several times, The Late Show with David Letterman, The Arsenio Hall Show, New York Undercover, The Tonight Show, and others. He appeared in the film PCU, and The Night Before. Both films also included songs he wrote and performed. He has also had songs featured in the film Bad Boys, with Sean Penn, as well as being the recipient of several Grammy nominations for songs like “Stomp” by Kirk Franklin, which used “One Nation Under a Groove” as its musical inspiration. The song won Song of the Year at the Dove Gospel Awards. Shider was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1997 as a prominent member of Parliament-Funkadelic.

Health concerns & death In 2010, it was announced that Shider was suffering from cancer of the brain and lungs. On June 16, 2010, Shider died from complications of his cancer.
