For Immediate Release 'Twisted Tales'

 

For Immediate Release

 

Ray Manzarek & Roy Rogers 'Twisted Tales' CD Now Available!

 

In our last meeting together before his passing, Ray and I were both very excited about the upcoming release of ‘Twisted Tales’. We signed off on the artwork and agreed that it should be released sooner than later. So, honoring that decision, I have proceeded with the release. We both were proud of this recording and hope that people enjoy it. This recording is dedicated to Ray’s memory- Roy Rogers

 

Nevada City, CA - Ray Manzarek and Roy Rogers have received no shortage of kudos since they first recorded together five years ago. Ray Manzarek’s signature keyboard sound was a cornerstone of The Doors - one of the most iconic rock bands of the 60’s. An inductee into the R&R Hall of Fame - he certainly needs no introduction. In the pantheon of music, The Doors’ music continues to be one of the most revered rock song catalogs of any band. Slide guitarist Roy Rogers has been lauded not only for his own recordings but for his long-time collaboration with harmonica master Norton Buffalo as well as his producing of 4 CD projects for blues icon John Lee Hooker and folk legend Ramblin’ Jack Elliott. He is well known worldwide for his mastery of slide guitar and has received 8 Grammy nominations for his work as artist and producer.

In 2011 Manzarek-Rogers released ‘Translucent Blues’- a blues-rock collection of songs tinged with poetry and literary references. The project reached #1 on the Americana Roots chart and debuted at #6 on the Billboard blues chart. The lyrical contributions came from such diverse co-writers as Jim Carroll, Warren Zevon and poet Michael McClure, among others. ‘Twisted Tales’ draws from some of those same writers to tell very different stories. Featured musicians are Kevin Hayes on drums, formerly with the Robert Cray Band; Steve Evans on bass who has performed with the Elvin Bishop Band; and George Brooks on saxophones, who has performed with John McLaughlin and Zakir Hussain.

 

The new release is a collaboration of keyboard and guitar sounds that merge with stories, images and art. These two amazing musicians create an intoxicating; plush sound that is - more than unique. Manzarek and Rogers are seemingly an odd pairing - but their new recording unleashes a stunning musical landscape for the listener - this music will ‘take you for a ride’… There is a full-length documentary film to be released examining their unique collaboration and friendship in depth this fall.

 

‘Twisted Tales’ is destined to become a classic, not only as Ray Manzarek’s last recording, but also as a definitive work of two great artists. Available at www.manzarekrogersband.com/ Amazon and iTunes and retailers nationwide.

Audiotool Experiments

In the audiotool community there is some discussion about making experimental tracks or doing things experimentally to help yourself grow as an artist. I figured I would take this opportunity to highlight a few tracks I have made in the past that had experimental elements in them. Feel free to post links to your experimental work in the comments. 
Technical Machine Romance [update]

This was an attempt at utilizing 12-tone theory. 12-tone basically states that you play all twelve tones of the musical chromatic scale before repeating so that there is no tonal center. To do this, I had one of the synths run sets of 12 tones both forwards, backwards (retrograde), inverted and backwards inverted (retrograde inversion). The piece itself is not in 12-tone and it does have a tonal center due to the accompaniment holding to a central note. But it was a first try at a hybrid form of atonal and tonal music. 

Modal Transformation

  I made this track to attempt to use the Locrian mode. It's a mode that is not really used much and can sound depressing and for funerals. I didn't fully succeed, but overall tried to center around the 7th scale tone and only diatonically move up and down from there. At the time drum samples weren't working, so I did this without drums.

off-world [Space Edit]

Most of this one is traditional except for the beginning, which uses a whole tone scale to try to create an "other-worldly" feel. A whole tone scale is just a scale that does not have any half steps (on a piano roll each note is two steps from each other). The whole tone scale's tonic center is transient based on where you decide to resolve (the last note played in a phrase).

Brutal Relationship

I wrote this with two ideas in mind. First was to utilize the C7 b9 as a basis for melodies and arpeggios. The C7 b9 is a soul stealing chord that has just the right dissonance to it. The other idea in mind was to simulate some of the techniques used by Liszt as a way to embellish the presentation of the chords.

Harmonious Chrome

This track was made after reading about bi-tonality. I created a few phrases that emphasized two tonal centers at the same time in order to create dissonance and tension. The tension then resolves as the tonal center is reached again. It was impossible for me to handle doing total chromatic harmony or full bi-tonality, but this was a fun romp into the concept.

So now please feel free to link to your experimental tracks and let me know what you did whether with sound design or otherwise. It's always fun to explore new options and sometimes the results are better than we expect.

Taking it to the Streets!

Kick Bricks is back! In their first public performance in nearly four months, the band kicked off the first of a string of summer appearances, delivering a loose and funky set in Chicago's North Center neighborhood. Brian showed little sign of injury slowing him down, in turns playing guitar, keyboards, and bass. The atmosphere was festive and the band sounded greatIt felt good!

Terrible Musicians

NJ Renaissance Faire

Sadly the NJ Ren Faire is over for this season and we want to thank everyone so much for letting us be a part of the magical world of Crossford.  We had an absolute blast.  More kind and gracious comments from patrons and players than we could hope to count! Wow! Thank you!

The Wayward Sons

Turn it down, D**kheads!

Thanks to all who came out to Stingaree and hung out with us. The locals took to us right away. As we took to the task of tuning all of the instruments, a man setting at the front table approached the stage and stated "I already like you two dickheads". It was later assured that this was in fact a complement and that we were accepted amoungts the Beach folks. We also got the nicest note on a napkin telling us we are too loud. Way more pleasant than the cops being called... again.

 

Sam leaves for his solo tour this coming week, so if you are in the midwest be sure to look at the schedule and catch him when he is near your area.

In a bit of unfortunate news, The Red Fox in Baytown has shut is doors and the tour kick off nor the Wayward June show will be taking place. This was a shock as it was the "Home base" venue for the Sons. Chef Rob was very supportive of the local music scene and we greatly appreciated his passion for food and music. He has stated he has plans in the works for a venture in the near future.

Upon Sam's return from the midwest the final push to complete the first ever Wayward Sons full length studio album will be top priority. The gig schedule is pretty light for this very reason. Shows should pick back up in August and early fall with a fresh new album on hand. So keep on that Facebook and Twitter for the very latest information!

Until then...

Kick Bricks

Kick Bricks to Play Several Summer Events

It has been a long haul, but nearly four months after a horrific injury which required surgery and pins to repair a fractured knuckle and two broken fingers on his left hand, Brian Jablo is on the mend and is actively working on recovering strength and dexterity in his fretting hand!

As a result, Kick Bricks is back in rehearsals, knocking off the rust and preparing for several scheduled summer shows. While there is still work ahead and hurdles to be surmounted, the band has sounded great and everyone is in high spirits. Several new tunes are being developed and old tunes are being reworked.  Brian has been on guitar, bass and keyboards, and with each passing day he continues to get stronger. Hopefully soon, he will be able to pick up his mandolin again! 

Thank you to everyone for your support and well wishes during this haitus. Hope you enjoyed some of the free downloads; there is more to come eventually, but for now we are looking ahead to more great times to come!

Show dates and times will be posted soon.

Upcoming Project

About a year ago, I had plans to work on getting enough fans to try to do a charity drive. It seems I have not been able to get there yet. But that will not stop me from continuing to try. It just means I will be trying with smaller more incremental goals.

To begin, I will start another project to produce an album. The first part of this will be to find some new inspiration and revisit old influences. I also will be spending time practicing and learning to produce the best product I can.

I am going to research best options for releasing the album so that the majority of the proceeds will go to charity. Fandistro.com is a site I am looking into currently as it seems to have a nice model that can not only help with a charity drive, but also allow others who share my music to get a piece of each sale.  Additionally I may be able to get metrics that could allow me to give a prize to the one who gets the most distributions/sales (a special t-shirt for example).

So please get the word out that arche3.0 is about charitable music. I have already given more than half of my current sales to charity even before recouping my own expenses. This time I want to do a more directed charity drive as well as spread the word about my music.

Scorchio!!!

Brothers and Sisters!

Are you all enjoying the Sunshine?! I certainly am. I forgot just how cool London is in the Summer, with the park life mentality and all that. There is no country like it, that's for sure. Love it.

But it's not all been about kicking back and sunning myself in Victoria Park! Oh, no. I've been busy and I'll bring you up to speed about it all.

Firstly, I'd just like to thank all those that have recently discovered me, either through gigs, Reverb Nation or friends. The comments and messages you have sent are huge to me and mean everything. It's seriously why I love doing this, as I know what it's like when I hear a song that connects with me, so to have my songs do the very same thing to others is very special indeed. So, please keep sharing the love, digging the tunes, telling your friends and coming to the gigs.

So, where did we leave off?

I think I had the gig at The Miller Bar. Well, that was, er, interesting. Thanks to those that enjoyed my tune. Not exactly the gig I was expecting, I certainly wasn't ready to be hearing Disney tunes amongst other stuff, but it's all part of the tapestry of this game I guess and at the very least made me smile...a lot!

The recordings are done, the music is being mixed and this will be a bit of a long process now I think. I shouldn't think that the EP will be ready till the latter part of the Summer and what with some very exciting news soon to be confirmed, I may even hold back a little longer! We'll see. I think if I was to hold off though, I will still put out a couple of other tracks I've done to keep everyone (including me!) happy!

If you happened to be about in the early hours of Sunday Morning in Soho, you may have stumbled upon little old me doing a photo shoot. I was getting the artwork done for the EP on Berwick Street and boy did it turn out good! I won't tell you the concept, because it's a surprise, but we did manage to get some other press shots done which will be available to be seen soon. Special thanks goes to the talented team: Martin Hobby on Camera machine, Jeanine Jones on Model Duty and the wonderful Sam Easey for doing the make up...I had been up all night with no sleep, managed to last for 48 straight hours and so let's just say I was slightly haggered. Make up was an absolute MUST for my face!

There are a couple of new "The Couch Sessions" videos up which I have actually had no time whatsoever to promote at all, so if you are reading this and want to help, please spread the love and share it on Facebook, Twitter and all the other stuff you cats do! Love ya!

Some of you know I've been offering my spare time to work with charities as a songwriter and I've been doing stuff with disadvantaged children across the world. It ties my passion for music and travel perfectly and is something that I have found to be hugely rewarding. The Sing Me A Story foundation has recently requested that I become a part of an Inner circle of songwriters, dedicated to terminally ill children across the world and I am absolutely honoured to take the position. 

I am also working with The Performing Arts departement at The Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and playing music to Cancer and HIV patients whilst they have treatments and I think it is a wonderful initiative to be involved with. So, if anyone reading this wants to help out, donate or find out more about these great charities, please drop me a line and I will happily put you in contact with the right people.

This Saturday I'm playing the Foodie Festival on Clapham Common, so get yourselves down as it is not only going to be food and music but it is set to be a scorcher, believe!!

Forwards!!!!!

I am trying out a new audio site called Beatdeck. It provides a lot of feedback on how people are listening to tracks. There's a neat feature that shows the areas of a track people listen to the most (a heatmap). Check out my track 24-1 here

JUNE SHOWS: Rio Nido, Concord, SF, & More!

Hey Everyone,
First off, BIG thanks to all of you who helped us hit our 5th consecutive sold out show at Sweetwater Music Hall this past weekend.  We were fired up and the crowd appeared to be as pumped as we were about it.  We also added in some tunes we hadn’t played in quite awhile: "Woman in Love", "Wildflowers" and "Swingin'".

Petty Theft @ Sweetwater Music Hall

The band has certainly hit its stride and just in time for a great series of June shows.  We start things off this Saturday, 6/8,  as we head up to the Russian River to kick off our summer concert schedule at Rio Nido Roadhouse.  Come enjoy a great outdoor show, featuring two great sets of the best Petty songs, some delicious BBQ and tasty summer “spirits”.  Here's "Breakdown" recorded live from last year's show.

COMING UP:  East Bay Peeps!  We’ll be making our debut at Vinnie's in Concord on Friday, 6/14 with very special guests: Pretending (A great tribute band to the Pretenders).  On Thursday6/20, we are at the Steven Young Amphitheater in El Dorado Hills and we’re back in San Francisco to make our headline debut at SLIM'S on Friday, 6/21.  Joining us on the bill are the Beer Drinkers & Hell Raisers (ZZ Top Tribute) and SF's The Gravel Spreaders (A bluegrass tribute to all your favorite Heavy Metal songs…They’re awesome so come early to catch ‘em).


On 6/22, we return for the 5th year to 97.7 The River's Summer Concert Series at Montgomery Village in Santa Rosa and on 6/29, we rock the California Beer Festival at Stafford Lake Park in Novato along with Monophonics and Metal Shop and with over 70 craft beers and mouthwatering BBQ.
"Into the great wide open, under those skies so blue"

Cheers,
~Dan, Django, Bagel, Monroe, Mike and Michael
