SUPERFIX is a supercharged Hard rock band from Los Angeles with Kalen Chase (Ko?n) on vocals.
"In this day and age, with thousands of bands competing to rise to the top, it is refreshing to hear something as exciting as SUPERFIX ..." Rock Magazine
SUPERFIX is a supercharged alternative metal/hard rock band that has emerged from the Los Angeles area. Kalen Chase (former touring member of Korn) takes the stage as the unique and massively talented frontman. When you hear SUPERFIX it will all make sense, it is the perfect combination of original and energetic, cutting edge, suspenseful verses that lead to huge rewarding choruses that you can't help but sing along to. If SUPERFIX doesn't mesmerize you with the clever and catchy lyrics, the incredible intertwining vocal and guitar melodies will. And those of you who can appreciate a captivating stage performance you won't want to miss a minute of a SUPERFIX show because SUPERFIX is all about connecting with the audience emotionally, and sometimes even physically (Kalen is known to venture into the depths of the crowd during a performance). SUPERFIX has performed with many great national acts such as: All That Remains, L.A Guns, CKY, WASP, guitarist from KORN, Munky and his band, Fear and the Nervous System, Orgy, Queensryche, as well as many other great acts.

Album: Superfix
Could this be the cover of the new Foo Fighters album?
The Foo Fighters may be playing games with their fans.
On Monday, the band started posting numerous clues across different social media sites such as "1 of 8: 36.152146 / -86.797483" along with portions of pictures. Those astute in geography recognized the tweet as geographical coordinates. When fans got to the specified place, they would find pieces of a poster that could be pieced together to form the following image:
The poster represents scenes from the eight different cities where the band recorded their upcoming eighth album, Austin, Chicago, Hollywood, Nashville, New Orleans, New York and Washington.
In other words, all things seem to be converging at eight for the Foo Fighters.
Sometime Monday, August 11 (surprising they didn't do it on the 8th), the band will make a major announcement.

LocalBandz Featured Artist Of The Day
13 Cent Kill has always strived to make music that breaks away from the norm. Formed in 2004, the band draws its sound from influences across the musical spectrum. Their primary goals are to give the audience the unexpected and to deliver an energy packed live show.
The two guitarists (Shane Laubhan and Ricardo Montoya) come from such diverse backgrounds and draw from such different influences (everything from The Ramones to Cannibal Corpse), that with each riff, the style of the song can go in any direction.
Throw in the Danny Carey inspired drums (Zach Noon), and the bass lines inspired by everyone from Victor Wooten to Geezer Butler (Travis Inselman) and truly ANYTHING is possible.
Top it all off with Travis' gruff voice (reminiscent of Sully Erna) and haunting lyrics and you have a sound unique to 13 Cent Kill .
The quartet has recently taken to the streets of bigger cities after honing their live show in their hometown of Enid, Oklahoma. They recently wrapped up recording their first studio album entitled 'Kill Your Neighbor Music'.

Alternate versions and 80-page hardbound book highlight classic band's reissues.
Less than a year after reissuing their first three albums as deluxe sets, Led Zeppelin plan on putting out two more in the fall. On October 28th, the group will release deluxe editions of its 1971 album, Led Zeppelin IV , and its next record, 1973's Houses of the Holy .
The 40 Greatest Led Zeppelin Songs of All Time
Like the previous deluxe reissues, each album will include the original LP, newly remastered by guitarist and producer Jimmy Page, alongside a second disc of previously unreleased audio culled from the band members' vaults. Additionally, each release will also be available as a single album, a single vinyl LP, a deluxe double-LP, digital download and a super deluxe box set, the latter of which features the CDs, LPs, a download card, an 80-page hardbound book with previously unseen photos and memorabilia and a high-quality print of the album cover.
The group's fourth album has become one of the best-selling albums in history since its 1971 release. Home to AOR staples like "Stairway to Heaven," "Rock & Roll," "Black Dog" and "When the Levee Breaks," the album, which is technically untitled, has been certified 23-times platinum. The deluxe edition contains previously unreleased versions of each of the album's eight tracks. Included are alternate mixes of "Rock & Roll," "Misty Mountain Hop" and "Four Sticks," a mandolin/guitar mix of "The Battle of Evermore" and a markedly different version of "Stairway to Heaven" that the group recorded at Los Angeles' Sunset Sound Studio.

That record's follow-up, Houses of the Holy , contains the singles "Over the Hills and Far Away" and "D'Yer Mak'er" and has been certified 11-times platinum since its 1973 release. The deluxe edition bonus disc for Houses of the Holy contains rough, in-progress mixes of "The Ocean" and "Dancing Days," as well as two songs with varied instrumentation: a guitar mix backing track for "Over the Hills and Far Away" and a version of "The Rain Song" without John Paul Jones' piano.
Although the group worked together on assembling these reissues, its surviving members have no intention of touring together anytime soon. In May, Robert Plant told Rolling Stone that he wished to leave things off with the group's 2007 one-off at London's O2 Arena. "A tour would have been an absolute menagerie of vested interests and the very essence of everything that's shitty about big-time stadium rock," he said. "We were surrounded by a circus of people that would have had our souls on the fire. I'm not part of a jukebox!"
Page said he was "fed up" with Plant's comments in a June interview with The National , but ultimately took the high road. "We have a great history together and like all brothers, we have these moments where we don't speak on the same page but that's life," he said.

The seeds of Artwerk began in the band SSP. It featured Gary Siess (drums and vocals) Tim Prince (bass) and Arthur Scrutchins (guitar, keyboard and vocals). They played together across the state of Oklahoma for about three years, sometimes joined by other musicians for performances. Memories of their life on the road are recorded in Artwerk's song "We Know Differently" (track number nine on "Under the Shade of Trees").
In 2009 Scrutchins, Siess and Prince reunited for a jam session and trip down memory lane. Rediscovering the joy of performing again," Artwerk " was born. Since that time, Artwerk has been busy writing, recording and producing three CD's.
Artwerk's debut CD, "Shelf Portrait" contains a lot of material that was written during the 70's and performed by SSP.
Artwerk's second CD, "Under The Shade of Trees" is a great blend of Indie and Acoustic Rock.
Artwerk's third CD, "Son of the Big Red One" has been described as "Innovative Rock that emerged from 70's roots".
Once again, Artwerk has put together another great collection of Indie Rock and Acoustic Rock tracks.
Influences: Eagles, The Beatles, 70's rock groups

LocalBandz Featured Artist Of The Day
Black Dawn has been performing live music of the metal / heavy rock genre in the Long Island / New York City area since 1996. Black Dawn has consisted of the same four members for all sixteen years of live performances: Matt Kotten (Lead Guitar / Vocals), Tom Kelly (Rhythm Guitar), James Lane (Bass Guitar), Enzo DiPaolo (Drums). Black Dawn's most direct musical influences include Alice In Chains, Black Sabbath, Disturbed, Down, Fight, Godsmack, Korn, Life of Agony, Metallica, Mudvayne, Soil, Soundgarden, Staind, Stone Temple Pilots, Tool, Volbeat, and White Zombie.
Black Dawn's discography consists of the EP "Black Dawn" (1996), the live CD "Live at CBGB's" (1998), and two full-length CD's "Absence of Time" (1999) and "Age of Reason" (2004). Selected tracks from all of these releases have been included in rotation on hundreds of various college / internet radio stations and podcasts worldwide. The most recent plans will have the band back in the studio to record it's third full-length CD sometime in 2013.
Black Dawn has performed / participated in numerous shows, festivals, competitions and conferences from New York City to as far as Los Angeles and has opened for acts such as Kings X, Daisy Berkowitz, LA Guns, Sworn Enemy, Ludichrist, Agnostic Front, and Biohazard. Black Dawn has performed in many famous venues in New York City including Webster Hall, CBGB's, the Continental, and the Hard Rock Cafe. In January 2012, a Black Dawn interview and live performance was taped for the real radio show (www.therealradioshow.com). This performance was streamed live on the website and broadcast on Long Island's classic rock station, WRCN (103.9 fm).
Perhaps the best thing that could be said about Black Dawn is that, even after all this time, the band has no intention of slowing down. The band is writing new songs all the time so creatively, there is still plenty of gas left in the tank. Still plenty more shows to perform.
Basically, a band like Black Dawn is what you get when you combine four metal musicians who are able to work together over the long term through thick and thin to continue to bring their act to the stage, and who make sure they do not disappoint when they take the stage.
