XANDER DEMOS ISSUES STATEMENT

Metal guitar virtuoso, Xander Demos, best known for his work with James Rivera’s Sabbath Judas Sabbath and his own debut collection of guitar gymnastic “Master-shreds,” Guitarcadia, issued a statement today, about the future of his current band, XDB and his plans for another upcoming “solo” instrumental guitar album.  The renowned guitarist, known almost as much for his colorful vocabulary and no-holds-barred opinion, posted to his facebook page:

“I wanted to post to the fans, and all, to alleviate any confusion with what’s next, my band XDB is not the same as me doing solo stuff. I have decided that I will be doing a follow up to Guitarcadia with another brand new instrumental album. It’s name is The Runway Obsession. XDB, on the other hand, is fronted by vocalist Mario Brescia and has Jeff Morris on keys, Dan Bozym on bass and Jeff Anzelone on drums. XDB does not mean “Xander Demos Band”… XDB is a BAND first – not a solo act. So with that said, besides the tribute band that I play in called Bon-Journey, I am going to do TWO projects. As a solo artist, you will see updates for my new instrumental album that may feature some XDB members if they have time to do it  and then you’ll see updates for XDB as we work on the full-length Dancing Through Daggers album. An EP will be up first and then by the time Skull Fest and all of the mid-west malfeasance takes place, we should have a completed CD. Whew…. any questions?”

NEW SINGLE & VIDEO BY YNDI HALDA MEMBER

Vincent Vocoder Voice is an expedition into the shadows of the modern mind. Dissonance, hypocrisy, self-deception, self-destruction. “Entzauberung” – the world we live in has been disenchanted. Like test subjects in sensory deprivation tanks, it is only a matter of time before a mind starved of meaning begins to hallucinate new, lurid meanings of its own. Alexander Ross Petersen is the mind behind Vincent Vocoder Voice, and has received praise for his work in UK post-rock band Yndi Halda. Petersen is based in Brighton, England and his self titled debut album will be released in Scandinavia and North America on Father Figure Records.

AVICII SETS RECORD AT XS LAS VEGAS

The kickoff to summer in Las Vegas showed that it reigns supreme at XS last night. Last year, Labor Day Weekend closed out with a bang as David Guetta set a new XS Las Vegas attendance record with a special edition of the venue’s celebrated Night Swim party. That 10,000 attendance number was shattered last night, as the award-winning nightclub located inside Wynn Las Vegas saw 11,000 people walk through the doors on a flow throughout the evening to check out what Avicii had in store for the launch of summer season.

Night Swim allows guests to ditch their clubwear and put on their best swim apparel to jump into the club’s glistening outdoor pool. For Memorial Day’s edition, the stage faced both sides of the crowd so no one missed a second of the action, as well as large LED boards that broadcast Avicii live to the outdoor area along with his custom video production.

Very little is known about the amazing Italian producer Tuccinelli from Naples –  some believe that he is close to Italian legend Gino Vanelli, hence the name Tuccinelli, but one thing is sure, he knows how to make true beautiful music with a great atmosphere.
 
NEW SINGLE BY STARGROVES

Perez Hilton compared Stargroves to a “very modern Postal Service infused with a slice of Taylor Swift-esque guitar rifts…we are LOVING the complimenting tones of both Teddy and Abigail’s voices. Impressive first effort, you hot young thangs!” He was referring to Abigail Breslin, an Academy Award-nominated actress and singer who sometimes joins the band, and is heard on the songs “Westfjords” and “Within Me a Lunatic Sings.” She is best known for her roles in Enders Game, Little Miss Sunshine, and Zombieland.
