Cassette (Walking Home...). This is the part I really hate. We play music. It sounds kind of like what might result if you threw Jawbreaker, DC stuff, Rites of Spring, American Music Club, and an inept love of jazz in a blender and pureed the mixture into a fine mush. We are three fine young men who own and operate musical inst- ruments and occasionally stir fry. Joe plays guitar and sings, Mike plays bass, and Doug plays drums. Buster plays his face but he doesn't actually have anything to do with the band, seeing as he is a cartoon. But seriously, we want to play in your town sometime. Write or e-mail if interested.

Various. I own the MKB Music studios, and am experimenting with all kinds of music and recording techniques. My first release, which I engineered and produced, is of a four-piece a capella singing group. The next release will be a couple of my own compositions, performed by the studio's "house band". Future releases include a percussion drum troupe's freshman effort, and a couple of young rock bands' demos. The best way for you (or anyone else) to find put about my studio is via WWW. My URL is http://www.ucsd.edu/mbreen, and my studio pages are in there. Varies, but usually only the cost of the media (i.e. the actual tape) plus "production costs" (usually printing and distribution *only*.

We have been classified by some as a traditional heavy metal act. We have been compared to Skid Row most often. We just put out an 11 song CD/cassette thats doing well over seas (primarily Belgium right now). The Forgotten Soul debut recording was released in 1994 and has received airplay on several radio stations at home and abroad. The band has also been a featured WMNF 88.5 FM (Tampa Florida) guest on its 1 hour local show. Forgotten Soul is an exp- erienced live band as well as studio band who likes to get the crowd pumped up and involved with the music. The bands' sound is varied and cannot be captured by any 'one song'. The style of music is probably best described as "In your Face Hard Rock/Heavy Metal with an alternative edge". The band was formed by Tom and Jeff Stottlar in 1992. The band is currently busy promoting the Forgotten Soul Debut rec- ording and working on their second recording entitled "Rhythm Dancer" which should be out in late '95.

We make music we enjoy listening to and from the response we'ver recieved our audience enjoys. In the Chicago area the price is $5.00. Outside of that area we are charging $6.00 including shipping and a se(swell) mail- ing card and lyric sheet. The GrumpyMope assault force 847 Washington. B3, Oak Park Ill. 60302.

The Happy Purples are a three peice band. Our sound is dense and layered. We use altern- ative guitar tunings and syncopated rythems. If it makes a difference the lead singer/guitarist is a woman. The last concrete description we recieved from one of our listeners (using popular current bands) was that we are a cross bet- ween Sonic Youth and The Sundays.

The Head Cooks are 5 people playing 2 guitars, bass, drums, and flute. We're centered in Raleigh, NC; play ing local clubs for about 15 months now and generating a local following. We've just finished producing "Five" which is but a tiny fraction of the original material we play out. Influences run the route from straight up rock and roll to punk to jazz to blues and twang. The five songs on "Five" (get it?) represent the diversity of our music. We play assertive, lyrical, dynamic rock and roll. $6.25 (includes $1.25 first class postage to anywhere in the continental USA). the Head Cooks 1905 Quail Ridge Rd.

Eric has been in the music business locally in New Mexico for many years now. Recently, he set off on his path of true calling; namely, he is highlighting his voice and his songs with his solo guitar only. So far, he has only played the southern NM and west Texas coffee house scene. However, he has finished recording a demo tape and is ready to hit the road as soon as possible. Influences include the Indigo Girls, Matthew Sweet, Louden Wainright, Richard Thompson, and many others. He has also composed a great many originals, including "Lovers and Friends" and "Rusty Heart," that latter of which was up for consideration at the Kerrville Folk Festival in Kerrville, Texas.

"The Song's the Thing..." - CD/cassette Style: folk/roots rock HOT D.A.M. is David Weiss (guitar & vocals), Maryem Hassan (vocals & percussion), Marc Enkin (bass, banjo & harmonica), Arnie Winterhoff (drums & percussion), and John Teshima (guitars, bass, and backup vocals). From a purr to a roar, the songs are focused on the complementary qualities of David's and Maryem's voices. The result has been called "a perfect match" by more than one reviewer. The inspirations for the song lyrics run from The Beauty Myth through A Canticle for Leibowitz, filtered through musical influences such as the Roches, Matthew Sweet, Jane Siberry, and Ani diFranco. They have played live on Japanese radio to over 3,000,000 Tokyo morning listeners and led to The Song's The Thing... being added to the playlist of J-WAVE, Tokyo's lar- gest commercial radio station. They appear on the recent local compilation CDs OVER THE EDGE '94, iMpact Music Vol II. $14/CD $10/cassette (incl. shipping & handling) 724 Euclid Ave. Toronto, Ontario, M6G 2T9 CANADA tiberius@io.org ------------------------------------------------------------ HUGE.
