Voodoo Monkey Child Gear Up For Coast Of Dreams

Long-running, Grammy nominated prog rock outfit, Voodoo Monkey Child, have been hard at work recording their latest full-length album, "Coast of Dreams". The band hopes to promote the new release beyond sweet home Chicago.

Dateline: Schaumburg, IL, May 7, 2013 - It's been a long and winding road for Voodoo Monkey Child. When keys player, R. Scott Allen, formed the band back in 1990, the music world was a very different place.

Hair metal reigned supreme, as did pop rap acts and boy bands. Grunge was just starting to make some rumblings and Nirvana was about to change everything. Fast forward almost 25 years and many of those musical styles, and the bands that played them, have been relegated to the dustbins of history. Voodoo Monkey Child survives. Playing their own style of progressive rock music that has roots in the blues-based guitar bands of the 60s and prog rock pioneers of the 70s, VMC keep the fires of the past burning, but with eyes on the future.

Voodoo Monkey Child is an offspring that has matured into adulthood, but not without some growing pains. Bass players and singers have come and gone over the decades, but today Voodoo Monkey Child stands as a solid and tight five piece.

The band includes Jana Hurdesova on lead vocals and acoustic guitar; R. Scott Allen on the keyboards; Michael J. Ferguson playing guitar and providing backing vocals; Tim Rogers on bass and backing vocals and Scott Hume playing drums and doing double duty as the band's producer in the studio. Together these seasoned musicians have enjoyed recording and gigging in support of their records, including a gig opening for electronic, folk (and everything else) band Poi Dog Pondering at Otto's in DeKalb.

VMC were also fortunate enough to have two songs from their sophomore album, "Under a Crescent Moon" nominated in 11 categories for the 2009 Grammy Awards, including Unique Artwork and Song of the Year.

Released in 2008 on the Little Pond Records label, "Under a Crescent Moon" was recorded by the band and Scott Hume. Like their previous effort, 1998's "A Taste of the Afterlife", the songs on the album were influenced by a few bands you may have heard of: Yes, Rush, Pink Floyd, Dream Theater, Evanescence, Genesis, The Who and Iron Maiden.

Those are certainly not underground bands. VMC gets compared to their heroes and prog rock progenitors like Yes and Genesis and Jana's presence at the forefront draws comparisons to Heart.

With a professional sound by seasoned musicians and great songs written and arranged by lovers of rock music, Voodoo Monkey Child is closing in on the completion of their third record. Engineered and produced again by the band, with Scott Hume at the helm, "Coast of Dreams" is slated for a Fall 2013 release, at which time the band hopes to be beaming out on international airwaves.

"Under A Crescent Moon" is currently available from CD Baby, iTunes and Amazon.

Voodoo Monkey Child has recently signed with (Wifi PR Group) as a client. Company Info: WiFi PR Group, Los Angeles, CA. http://www.wifiprgroup.com

MusicDishTV Presents "Teeth Swallower" By Australian Metal Band KUNVUK

Unlike most artists today, Australian metal band KUNVUK goes hard and doesn't just push the boundaries. They absolutely destroy it. Once again, KUNVUK brings their own brand of insanity and chaos to the music video of "Teeth Swallower", recently released through the band's Youtube account. This one will surely be a delight for any metal fan.

Staying true to their style, KUNVUK delivers 6 minutes of pure anarchy. Reminiscent of a low-budget slasher film, the video features ominous shots of alleyways, basements, and abandoned garages. The cinematography is shaky and constantly responds to the hard-hitting bits of the song. "Teeth Swallower" is like a highlight reel of horror movies, with shots of water torture, hooded figures, and lots and lots of running interspersed with shots of the band rocking out. One of the most memorable images is a close-up of the lead singer's bearded mouth Bombarded with images, the audience cannot help but feel pulled in.

As we go deeper and deeper into the band's psychotic world, we also close in on the song's climax, a breakdown in which the lead singer's rant in an almost poetic fashion. At this pivotal moment, the chaos dies down a little and we are led to a roof where a sole figure is sitting. When the lead singer moves in, he realizes the figure is himself, and the chaos returns.

With a surprising amount of effort and passion placed into the film, "Teeth Swallower" is any metal fan's dream. Be prepared to be gunned down by six minutes of mayhem.

The Luna Park Going 'Acoustique'

Right at the heart of one of Vienna's oldest amusement parks ('Boehmischer Prater', established in 1883), 29 and 30 June 2013 will see 6 folk and blues acts take the stage at Tivoli in what Wickerl Hapta, spokesperson of promoter 'Kulturverband Boehmischer Prater', tagged '1. Acoustique Festival'. Says Wickerl Hapta, 'It was high time to finally have current developments in music - a re-discovery of singer-songwriter and acoustic blues styles - reflected in Tivoli's programming. Given that we can do open air events, we will be able to put on a well-deserved showcase of the acoustic music scene of Vienna and beyond.'

Which takes us right to the festival bill of '1. Acoustique Festival': Saturday, 29 June 2013 will have Vienna's 'Die Blues Buam' (translates to 'The Blues Boys') churn out their swamp blues-flavoured blend of Afro-American and Viennese tradition, adding to a unique luna park experience.

Talking of the 'beyond': singer-songwriter Stefan van de Sande from The Netherlands will be next to hit the stage, in for another stint of accomplishing his mission of what Scottish newspaper 'Aberdeen Monday' recently called 'sharing his songs with people'.

Headlining a truly inspiring Saturday's bill will see us go even further beyond, experiencing the soulful vocals and guitar playing of one of the godfathers of Austrian blues, Rudi Biber from Vienna and Ft. Myers, USA, with his congenial musical mate Tonci 'Mr Nylon' Marincic from Split, Croatia, fretting away on his acoustic axe at breathtaking speed.

A - hopefully - sunny - Sunday summer afternoon, and time for two strong women - Martina Baumann & Claudia Fenzl, musicians and actresses from Vienna - to take us closer to the meaning of power and how to give works by Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Townes Van Zandt, Kate Wolf and Tom Russell an entirely new face.

Next to hit the stage are 'sparse and powerful' (says Mike Lidskin of Twirl Radio in Sacramento, California) acoustic blues duo Runway 27, Left from Vienna sporting their deep connection with roots music and original material from their first album 'Weekend Warriors' (2011), having already gathered radio airplay in the UK, the USA, Spain, The Netherlands, Australia, Germany, Austria and Macedonia.

Back to the bedrock of Austrian blues and folks: Johann 'Zappa' Cermak (having been the frontman of the legendary 'Bluespumpm' for 36 years) and Judith (having been the voice of the 'Wild Irish Lasses' for 22 years) will be headlining the second day of '1. Acoustique Festival' with their eclectic mix of blues, Irish folk and country, providing the final highlight of two days of acoustic music delight.

1. Acoustique Festival - festival bill:

Saturday, 29 June 2013 Rudi Biber (AT, USA) & Tonci Marincic (HR) Stefan van de Sande (NL) Die Blues Buam (AT)

Sunday, 30 June 2013 Zappa & Judith (AT) Runway 27, Left (AT) Martina Baumann & Claudia Fenzl (AT)

Delirium Celebrate Aurovine Accelerator Win

Aurovine is a music platform for independent and unsigned bands and labels. It differs from most other music services in that it offers promotion and exposure to bands who engage with the platform.

The accelerator series rewards bands who get the most streams and downloads over a fixed period. To be eligible artists and bands simply need to be registered on Aurovine.


Delirium were formed late 2009 and the 3 piece grew up together with a common love of music. Band members - Matthew Hindley, guitarist and lead vocalist. Alex Kamentschuk, bass and backing vocals. Lee Watkinson, drums and backing vocals.

Matt started playing instruments when he was 8 while Lee started playing drums when the band formed and Alex started bass around the same time. As well as thier close friendship and similar music tastes - they do admit that the attraction of the rock and roll lifestyle helped fuse their inception and work ethic.

In terms of musical influences they cite Green Day, Sum 41, Status Quo, The Raymones, The Sex Pistols, The Yardbirds, The Rezillos, Clint Mansell, Misfits, Drop Kick Murphys, CKY, The Clash, Eminem, Hollywood Undead, and The Arctic Monkeys, just to name a few.

They are currently gigging regularly across multiple venues in the West Midlands and would like to move out further and reach more people.

They rehearse every weekend at Matt's garage where they have their own little set up. This is because they all have standard day jobs and university on the week days and so it helps them to reduce the costly lifestyle of an unsigned band.

The Accelerator package included a professionally produced 250 x CD package (in association with Gillies Audio), stage banner, promotional package, Pro press release and Gold promotional package (in association with Mi2N), Pin badges and social media promotion.

The Delirium song Drama Queen topped the accelerator charts when the points period ended. Points were awarded for streams, downloads and paid purchases. The CD that formed part of the prize included 4 tracks:

1. The Murder of Anna Marie 2. Happy Hour 3. Hybrid Moments 4. Drama Queen

Nancy Levy Releases New Set Of Bedtime And Morning Music

Getting your child ready for bedtime and excited to begin a brand new day has never been easier. Children's music favorite Nancy Levy has released a set of new bedtime and morning time music for families under her Nancy's Circle of Friends moniker, and it's available worldwide now.

The set includes a going-to-bed album called "Is It Bedtime Already?," a waking up album called "Brand New Day," and a companion sing along book, designed by Nancy with art by Cindy Casino. Levy started this double album and book project years ago by writing music for her son Jacob. As the songs matured, so did Jacob, and he has orchestrated and arranged the music making it a true family album.

As an early childhood educator and preschool music teacher in Los Angeles for more than 25 years, Levy's music has touched the lives of thousands of children, and she brings that experience with her to this release. With her inviting voice, Levy's songs range from warm and gentle to playfully rocking, making great listening for kids of all ages. From the welcoming optimism of "Spaceship to the Moon" to the grooving "Rockin' Rooster," there's something here for everybody.

"I believe that children's music is not just for kids," Levy said. "I hope the whole family will sing and dance along to these albums."

Levy also recently recorded a song exclusively for Operation Gratitude, a non-profit, volunteer-based organization that annually sends 100,000+ care packages to U.S. Service Members deployed in harm's way, to their children left behind, and to Veterans, First Responders, Wounded Warriors and their Care Givers. The song, "Carry My Love," tells the story of a child receiving a parent's letter from overseas, and the emotional impact of a parent receiving such letters back. All proceeds from the song benefit Operation Gratitude.
