BARRIER-BREAKING ROCK'N ROLL BOOGIE BALAGAN BLENDS MIDDLE EASTERN VIBES WITH EXHILARATING ROCK'N ROLL TO CONVEY THEIR MESSAGE OF PEACE AND BREAK DOWN CULTURAL,LINGUSTIC,AND PHYSICAL BARRIERS IN THE MIDDLE EAST. In the autoproclamed Palestlsraeli duo Boogie Balagan , psychedelic rock n roll meets cool Middle Eastern vibes. Their first album Lamentation Walloo is a message of peace and multiculturalism. First, imagine voices that combine Julio Iglesias drinking straight tequilas and Joe Strummer high on harissa. Then, imagine a Mediterranean Jimmy Page torturing his electric guitar like a Greek bouzouki. Sprinkle it all with an infernal beat of pounding feet, and clapping hands and you get something of the ghost of t-rex smoking a water pipe in Gaza or Farid el Atrache jamming with the New York dools The Hebrew word Balagan means mess, making Boogie Balagan a messy boogie . From Sinai to Muddy Waters blooz, Boogie Balagan has invented a musical couscous marinated in 70 s Oriental with electric spices. PEACE THROUGH MUSIC Boogie Balagan is above all a duo. Gabri is the lead singer and Azri is playing the zguitar. A story shared between France Palestlsrael . At the early 2002 they decided to devote themselves entirely to Boogie Balagan and what was at first supposed to be a Muddy Waters covers became a unique project to blend the Middle Eastern groove and language with the raw energy of Robert Johnson. A project which shatters walls and barriers so that all can reunite under the flag of universal rock. Azri and Gabri sing about reunions, reconciliation and human love. lamentation walloo calls for a stop to lamentations and tells the story of an Israeli-Palestinian friendship between children. The lyrics are sung in English, French, Arabic, Greek, Hebrew They are strung together in a creative urban dialect making this rock n roll recipe a formidable weapon of peace. CLIMING OVER WALLS We feel that we just have to stop lamenting our fate. We would like to cross walls with music and songs. The aim is to show that by mixing lyrics and languages, as opposed to mixing with each other because we are restrained, the message can be carried out in a cheerful way . We are a bit nostalgic of the time when we were all working together back there and when we would share a watermelon in the break And the music-wise it was the same, with the Palestinians who worked in Israel, we used to jam all night by kitchens sharing the hafla , the party says Azri This French Palestlsraeli duo has dared to mix styles, blending sounds from their homelands, an American rhythm and multilingual lyrics. Everything is roots : the music, the words; even the collector cd box set is a matzot bread filled with Palestinian zaatar spice, salt from Dead Sea, with lamentations from Wailing Wall running through it. |

Prey For Sleep
Austin, Texas

http://www.myspace.com/preyforsleep
When Prey for Sleep was formed, their intention was to create a sound that was both heavy and aggresive but also had some depth to it. As time passed and their ideas were realized in the form of songs, they developed a sound that was completely their own. With intensity and passion appearant in every second of every song, Prey for Sleep promises to fill the void left by other metal bands.
Prey for Sleep has played in New York, New Jersey, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas and Houston. We've been lucky enough to share the stage with national acts like Deicide, Crowbar and Valume Nob. We're intent on showing the world what Austin has to offer in the way of metal. Playing music is what we live for. |

Urbansnake is an alternative metal/rock band from The Bronx, NYC. The band is influenced by a tapestry of creative heavy acts from the 70's through today, and has received worldwide airplay and strong reviews (see press page). Urbansnake aspires to compose music that doesn't draw on trends, but instead on the musical tastes of its individual members. The result is heavy and original.
Garageband.com reviewers have described Urbansnake as "face-ripping" and "blinding." Lead singer Vinny Corvino has fronted several New-York based hard rock and metal bands, amongst them Holy Motorpunk and Stabbing Negatives. Holy Motorpunk's single "Meditation 17" received airplay on The Radio Chick show on New York's 102.7 WNEW. Rhythm Guitarist Kevin Aponte's band Semanon drew serious interest from Metal Blade Records, but disbanded shortly thereafter. Before starting Urbansnake with singer Corvino, Aponte toured the Florida club scene with Slyce. Corvino and Aponte have been a songwriting team for several years. The two were the major creative forces behind Holy Motorpunk. Aponte later rejoined with Semanon drummer George Paige to form Stabbing Negatives. Lead Guitarist Andy Romeo and Bassist James Papa were the driving force behind NYC's Requiem. During the '90's, Requiem headlined in clubs throughout the city and opened for major acts including Life of Agony and Biohazard. Requiem received airplay on commercial and college radio and toured clubs along the East Coast. Drummer Hemi Bordowitz played in the bands Lost Art and On My Signal.
Urbansnake is currently composing new material and performing throughout the NYC Tri-State area. |

CHECK OUT LEIGH'S KILLER VIDEO "EVERYTHING" HERE:
http://leighsilver.com/Media/Everything_video2.wmv
"If Nikki Sixx and Joan Jett had a love child.. that would be Leigh "- Kim Fowley
Leigh's debut EP was recorded at Chris Vrenna's house (Nine Inch Nail's, Tweaker) with Chris recording all drum tracks xcept Vampires which was played by John Dolmayan, (System of a Down) Tommy Stinson, (Replacements, Guns n' Roses) played bass. Mark Blasquez (Line 6) produced and played guitar.
This first CD was titled, Catfight
She went on to write 26 songs with legendary producer/songwriter Kim Fowley(Runaways), Lucky 7, Shaun Kama (Damnation, Blood Junkies), former bandmates Chad Stewart (Faster Pussycat, Motochrist), Daniel (Silver Needle), Jason Decourse (LoMass Republic) Cordell Crockett(Ugly Kid Joe), Bryce Martin(Damone), and many others including vocals for the debut CD of the Line (Volcom).
Leigh's 2nd CD was completed with T.M. Burr on drums, Matt Fuller on guitar and Cordell Crockett on bass. Within 2 days of being a mastered CD, the demo was licensed for the MTV original series "Surf Girls". 3 of the 6 songs from this demo also went on to appear on MTV's "Camp Jim," as well as the hit series "Laguna Beach" which "Summer Waves" still regularily appears on(as well as many radio shows and compilation CD's). The second EP was co-produced by Leigh and Sean O'Dwyer.(Sum 41, Blink 182, Fenix TX, Strife, and the GoGo's.)
After this, Leigh and Steffy (Steffy)recorded a 3 song demo with EMI songwriter, Jimmy Harry (Britney Spears, Fischer Spooner, Kimberly Clarkson, Ashlee Simpson, Skye Sweetnam) and Benjamin Groff (EMI) While deciding who the third girl would be for this project with Jimmy, Leigh was contacted by the management of the GoGo's about doing a side project with Gina Schock (drummer)
This demo began as a follow up CD for the Bitterthings. It was to have 2 Gina collaborations, 2 Jimmy collaborations and 2 songs written by Leigh. But everything changed when Leigh's boyfriend of 2 1/2 years, Roxy Michaels (The Undead (ex Misfits), Marky Ramone Band, Texas Terri Bomb) passed away Thanksgiving 2005. The project was renamed Dragstrip Kitty as a tribute to Roxy.
This collaboration with Leigh and Gina was recorded at Interscope records with Gina producing as well as playing drums and providing background vocals, Leigh on lead and Cordell Crockett providing bass and guitar. The demo was engineered by Jose Alcantar (Interscope) and mixed by Grammy award winner, Pete Novak (Outkast)
There has now been 2 failed lineups of Dragstrip Kitty and much cat scratching.
The demo with Leigh, Gina and Cordell (what is presently posted on myspace) had A LOT of interest.
17 labels responded when the demo was shopped and a call was received from Clive Davis's secretary about attending the band's showcase.
Dragstrip Kitty (line up 2)appeared in a national commercial for Six Flags Magic Mountain. It was taped in January 2007 and will run for 1 year.
When Dragstrip Kitty (line up 2) was asked to showcase at SXSW and the girls would not go, she enlisted long time friend and band mate, Chad Stewart to "save the day."
Leigh was backed in Austin by:
Chad Stewart (faster pussycat, stimulator, dopesnake) on drums
Michael Thomas on guitar(LA Guns, dopesnake)
and Ryan Seelbach (dopesnake,stimulator) on bass
it was then...Leigh remembered what it felt like to have a great rock show and just how much fun it can be when u have a great time playing music with a band u love n respect as people and musicians and decided to revamp the whole project.
This new band is called Hear Kitty Kitty!.
Hear kitty kitty! is a hit machine an uber band of greatness. Comprised of the best of the Bitterthings- recorded and unrecorded, the best of the Interscope demo recorded with Gina Schock of The GoGo's -which has come to be known as Dragstrip Kitty, the best of the songs recorded with Jimmy Harry and the best of the Kim Fowley sessions..which have never seen the light of day.
Leigh is also proud to have been asked to be a part of Joel Gausten's (the Undead) upcoming Betty Blowtorch tribute compilation CD performing the song "No Integrity." |
