WILLIE BASSE Will Be at The 2015 NAMM Show
WILLIE BASSE, a professional recording artist best known as frontman of the legendary Los Angeles based rock band, Black Sheep has recently toured the USA & Canada several times. His philanthropy work with his charities, http://rockforrecovery.com and http://FeedAmerica-Now.org is unparalleled. While touring, opening for Ex-Dokken virtuoso, George Lynch and his band, Lynch Mob, bassist ROBBIE CRANE allowed Willie to use his Ampeg Bass rig to cut down on set up change time. "I was reminded of the power and tone I had in the early Black Sheep days." Willie explains, "It was like going home, very warm and very distinct. So I got in touch with Ampeg and have enjoyed using the V4-B model." The Ampeg V-4B 100W All-Tube Bass Amplifier is a remarkable reissue of the legendary 1971 original, delivering the pure tube tone and unmistakable grind that earned the classic model a place in bass history. Willie says, "The V4-B has a Pre-Amp stage with Master Volume that allows me to dial in the saturation of my desire, creating grit and sustain, while at the same time the sound is Big, Clear and Distinctively Pronounced." Basse has also been using Schecter Guitar Research basses. When he recorded his single, "BREAK AWAY" with Led Zeppelin/Van Halen engineer/producer ANDY JOHNS, Andy introduced Willie to Schecter basses and guitars. WILLIE said, "On my song, "BREAK AWAY" (hear it at http://williebasse.com ) I take a short bass solo in the middle. The Schecter bass & 12-string guitars cut through, while maintaining a warm balance and pronounced tone throughout the whole song. Catch up with WILLIE BASSE at The NAMM Show, January 23-25, 2015 in Anaheim, CA. BASSE will be at the http://ampeg.com upstairs booth #209 A/B and at http://schecterguitars.com Stay Tuned for touring updates starting this February through Summer 2015. http://thegypsyexperience.com is the current WILLIE BASSE musical adventure headed to a venue near you.

NY Experimental Duo Vicava's Latest Track "Keep Serving"
As human beings we wear many masks. Some to protect our true feelings, others for more dubious intentions. But the fabric of each mask originates from the scrutiny of society. We are born with the Tabula Rasa just to have our identity distorted by our peers around us.
The New York based experimental band Vicava has released their latest song "Keep Serving" as a critique on society's influence on distorting one's self image but offering a means to liberate from the masks we wear and evolve into a transcendent being; and their music video falls nothing short of that.
The video has a dark allure that eerily mystifies the audience. As the song begins there is a black backdrop with only a simple face made of plaster and untainted perceptions. However as Vicava's enigmatic "Keep Serving" progresses, the mask begins to alter it's form with labels and obscure "scratches" denoting the metaphors of society's infamous labeling. Every few seconds the mask suffers more of these alterations all over, to the point where it's barely recognizable. Different labels such as "control" and blotched out eyes have a powerful meaning and a more sinister appearance to the mask.
Towards the end of the video there is a moment of illumination. Not from the video's mystique and theme but from the mask itself. As the lyrics from Vicava begin to shed light on becoming free from labels, the mask absorbs all of the insignias and begins a transformation into a "higher-self". The mask sudenly blinks and morphs into an alien look alike with black eyes, a symbol of transcendence from society's distorted vision of how it sees the world.
"Keep Serving" is a visual chronicle of the transgression from being weighted down by social oppression to breaking away into your own identity. Vicava's experimental music takes on a life of it's own and shatters the masks that once held them back with this video. This is trully an ode to artistic expression with the allure of shattering social conventions.

Emmy Wildwood Releases Debut Single and Video
Emmy Wildwood approaches synth pop from a punk perspective in her debut single "Chick Chick Boom (Tired Of Love)." The title of the single refers to the sound of loading and firing off a gun, and even though the lyrics suggest otherwise "it all expired/ i am so tired of love," Emmy抯 voice is strong and focused.
Stepping into a new realm sonically, Emmy's grunge punk past (fronting critically acclaimed rock trio VELTA) still lingers in this emotional pop outfit produced by Tomek Miernowski (Darren Criss, Mos Def, Outasight). Starting with "Chick Chick Boom", Wildwood and Miernowski have crafted an array of dream pop heavy hitters for Wildwood's first solo project - all built around a 70's Linn drum Machine and lo-fi electric guitar demos cut by Wildwood herself. Deep chord progressions played on vintage synths, seamlessly fill out the arrangements.
"Chick Chick Boom (Tired of Love)" fuses a pop sensibility akin to Robyn's "Dancing On My Own", with layers of Stevie Nicks and Dirty Minds era Prince. Vocally, Wildwood showcases her rich dynamics of warmth and vulnerability as often as her bright powerful belt. Stylistically, the lo-fi music video incorporates self-shot iPhone footage of Wildwood in her own apartment, mixed with director, Chris Carlone's own vintage footage from the 90s, resulting in footage very reminiscent of MTV's first season of The Real World.
Also the founder of Tiger Blanket Records, a small record label and vintage store based in Williamsburg Brooklyn, Wildwood has been revered for her music, fashion and business sense. Time Out New York named her one of New York's most fashionable of 2013, due to her unique style.She was also applauded for her work as a leader in the musical community, hosting label showcases for unsigned Brooklyn bands and printing limited runs of 7 inch vinyls. Emmy has been featured in September抯 music-themed issue of Vogue Italia in 2012 and her band VELTA was featured on NYLON Magazine抯 December mixtape along with the band Fun. VELTA has also worked with TV On The Radio抯 Kyp Malone for their single, "Let抯 Get Married".

MusicDishTV Presents Zombies, Texting And Mayhem In Barry Keenan's "UUU Yeah U"
Capitalizing on the recent zombie craze, singer/songwriter Barry Keenan released a deliciously ridiculous music video poking fun at the zombie apocalypse trope for his single "UUU Yeah U". Released via his official Youtube account, the music video is a demented visual and aural delight.
The music video follows Keenan as he relentlessly texts to a girl of his affections, completely oblivious to the zombies and mayhem around him. Shots of zombies and news reports on the impending apocalypse are interpolated in between shots of Keenan tapping cluelessly on his phone. Amidst the chaos, the band performs while fighting off zombie hordes. The insanity climaxes at the song's break, with the zombies clapping and dancing to the music and the band fighting them off with their fire-spitting instruments. High-octave, crazy, and cheeky in the best way, Keenan's MV is great, hilarious fun.
"UUU Yeah U" is an adrenaline pumping rock song with strong riffs and pounding beats. Keenan sings energetically about his longing for texts from the girl and his screechy, powerful vocals fits perfectly with the melody.
Barry Keenan started started recording professionally at the age of 15 and already attracted his first major publishing deal when he turned 19. A multi-instrumentalist, Keenan has worked as a producer and a recording artist. As an artists, his songs have received commercial radio play on major radio stations like KROQ and KLOS.
