In The Year 2008 Somewhere deep in cyberspace a musical ecotone was formed. This was due to the over population of bands that tried to fit into narrow genres such as goth, emo, metal, or indie rock. This has created a major refugee crisis consisting of musicians and fans who exist outside of a predetermined cookie cutter category.Thus the refugees are forced to enjoy music without a fashion trend, target audience or even a B.S. backstory. UTTER TRAGEDY!
Where can these Ecotone Refugees be found?
Deep in Brooklyn in their hideout above a bar, rocking out or performing live at various locations.
What should u do if you're lost in this ecotone?

This information will explode in thirty seconds.
Ecotone Refugees is:
Johnny Young - vocals, guitar, keys
David Weise - vocals, bass
Michael Galante - drums

One part Stoner Rock, a Bit of Doom Metal, Electronica for Ambience and enough hooks to catch a school of fish.
STEWART FRANCKE ALIVE AND UNPLUGGED AT THE ARK
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Live acoustic album to be released through Burnside Distribution on January 20, 2009.
Detroit— Stewart Francke, one of Michigan’s favorite sons, will release Stewart Francke Alive and Unplugged at The Ark, his tenth album, in November. Recorded in August 2003, the song lineup will feature nine of Francke’s hits done in a soulful, acoustic style, including “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” and “Upon Seeing Simone.”
The new album follows 2006's Motor City Serenade, released by London’s Zane Records. A live concert sponsored by 94.7 WCSX on November 8 at the Village Players Theater in Birmingham will celebrate the release of the record. The concert will begin at 8pm; tickets are available at the VP box office or at www.stewartfrancke.com
Stewart Francke Live and Unplugged at The Ark features several of Detroit’s finest musicians, including guitarist Robert Tye, pianist Christopher Plansker, and vocalists Barbara Payton and Jeanne Staels. The Regular Boys Horn Section is also featured on a couple songs. The night was recorded by Detroit veteran engineer Roscoe White and mixed by Jim Kissling at Tempermill.
Francke is nearly finished with a new studio album as well, to be released in the Spring of 2009. “I’d actually forgotten about the live recording...I found the rough mixes (of this live stuff) while I was writing and recording all these new things,” Francke says. “And the audience that night in Ann Arbor was off the hook, so there’s a lot of humor, a lot of joy–and a ton of energy–even though the presentation was not with the big, rockin’ band. I was struck by how well the band at that time addressed the subtleties of the songs and gave the lyrics room. So I really thought fans of my music would love these interpretations of songs they already know and hopefully love.”
Track Listing:
American Twilights
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
For Want Of A Nail

Part Two DecadeZ "Go Girl"
After two years in the studio, Anti-M have released their new album, DAMAGE (2008). The female fronted goth rock influenced album has a mix of hard rock tracks (Damage), pop rock cuts (Little Things, Let U In), fluid and melodic ballads (Deep), gothic rock epics (Rage, Damage In The Dream) and a smattering of instrumentals (Dreaming in Metaphor, Incineration, The Sixth Extinction, NO KILL I).
Primarily a studio band in the past, Anti-M hopes to take Damage on the road in the near future.
Anti-M is available at CDBABY.COM, iTunes, Amazon.com
Anti-M is a mix of melodic electronic pop rock and Euro female fronted goth rock. Kind of like Evanescence crossed with Depeche Mode.
If you could imagine a breed of T.I.'s Attitude, Kanye West's Cockyness,Lil Wayne's Swagger,Fabolous's Punchlines,and Ludacris's Delivery then you would easily be able to imagine how his album The Heatrock 2 sounds like. For Artist,Producer,Singer,Songwriter,& Audio Engineer DecadeZ...It's been a long road...
Starting out dancing and singing at the tender age of only 5 Year's old... It seemed as if music was always in this young man's blood... So many tragedies has happened to this individual in his youth that his overall mindset and focus is much more ahead of its time then alot of individuals that are his age. Having a general knowledge of playing the piano and the guitar also doesn't harm him in the several fields which he excels in.... To date he has many accomplishments that wouldn't fit on this small spot. Growing up in a household where it was only him and his single mother taught DecadeZ responsiblity and to always try to perfect whatever it is that he did. Alot of people call him one of the most hard-working musician period. He has a uncanny ability to always focus on a goal and work continuously in order to achieve it. As a boy, he was always very intelligent and complex... but now as a man, he's heightened to a new awareness. Platinum Songwriter Osei Jenkin's(Of Trilogy Productions) describe his sound as "Electro R&B" in the vein of a sound that's ahead of his time.... Purchase CD NOW @ www.cdbaby.com/decadez
If you could imagine a breed of T.I.'s Attitude, Kanye West's Swagger, Ludacris' Delivery,and Lil Waynes Punchlines ..then You can imagine DecadeZ.
