The Escape: Origivation, Philly Fun Guide
The "huge news" I mentioned last time is that The Escape will be featured in Origivation soon! This Philly-based magazine is much-renowned for its coverage of music both local and international, and the issue featuring The Escape is due out on the 15th. I'll say more once I've seen the article.
Meanwhile, enjoy the Philly Fun Guide page I put together for the Trocadero show; it's pretty much what I submitted, anyway! http://www.phillyfunguide.com/event/detail/85057

Reality Stricken: Reviewed in Wonka Vision!
WOW. This is huge....I reached out to Wonka Vision a while ago on behalf of Reality Stricken, but I wasn't sure what to expect. Well, I just learned that they recently gave Reality Stricken a totally bitchin' online review: http://www.wonkavisionmagazine.com/reviews09/?p=2978
Speaking of RS, they've got a big show coming up which we will be seriously promoting. Details coming shortly.

Upcoming Radio Interviews; other updates
I am a press agent first and foremost, but if I can set up something else that will get my clients some exposure, why not go for it?
Volta Radio is an online radio station in Philadelphia whose current owner, Cindy Wuollet, is madly devoted to supporting the Philly music scene. Volta airs a variety of programming, but on Tuesday nights at 7:30 (Eastern Time), you'll normally hear Cindy interviewing local and visiting musicians from a wide range of genres. I'm happy to announce that all of my current clients will be featured on Cindy's show this May. Here's the schedule:
May 4th: The Josh and Pete Band
May 11th: Bad Apples
May 18th: Reality Stricken
If there are any changes, I'll let you know.
There are some other interesting projects I've been working on for these bands, but they can't be explained quite so easily here. If you want details, send me an e-mail (you'll find a link on my profile).
In other news, there should be a new Bad Apples article out this week; I'll post a link when it's published. Also, I realized that I haven't updated you on The Absolute Zeros' status recently. Well, I'm really not their publicist anymore. Our business relationship was never officially declared dead, but after so many logistical hurdles and so much time spent in limbo, it just ended. No matter. As you can see, I'm plenty busy with these other bands. I still do follow The AZ's and having seen them toward the end of January, I can tell you that they're back on their feet after some personnel shakeups and they're sounding great. Keep your eyes and ears on their MySpace for updates.

New Reality Stricken Article
Well, a week old, actually.....I set this up, but I didn't learn that it had been published until tonight. I don't know why; usually someone tells me about such things ASAP. But here it is:

New Clients: Reality Stricken
"Every track on this EP leaps out of the speakers with enough force to blow down an entire block of rowhomes. This is the real rock sound of today, with big, loud riffs and chords, massive drums, and huge walls of shouted vocals. [...] There is simply not a dull moment on this record, and by the time it's over you'll be cheering for more. All you can do is hit 'Play' again. With releases this good, it's about damn time that the Philly-area rock scene got its due."
So I wrote when I reviewed Norristown, PA's Reality Stricken on One Note Ahead in September. The sad news is that now, I must stop featuring them on One Note Ahead. The good news is that now, I am their publicist!
Check out the fantastic EP I reviewed, Signal Fire, and I'll keep you posted about big shows.

New Clients - Bad Apples
I'm happy to welcome to my client roster an up-and-coming trio known as Bad Apples. Their jazz-funk style also incorporates elements of rock, blues, and soul. All three regular members sing, sometimes offering gritty leads and sunny harmonies in the same song. From New Haven, Connecticut, Bad Apples have toured the United States and are currently gigging frequently in the Northeast. As you might have guessed, I will be promoting them in the Philly area specifically. In fact, they have a big show approaching on January 27th at The Blockley Pourhouse. For this one, they'll most likely be joined on stage by a full horn section, making this show a must-see.
Check out the band at: http://www.myspace.com/thebadapplesarebitter
And if you cannot see them in person, you might like to know that they have two albums out, both easily available online. The second, Today Begins At Night, was just released in July.
