Friday Fun
Afternoon folks,
Normal service for a little Friday Fun is now resumed (following last week's metalfest), with a gentle lullaby to ease you into the weekend.
A free download of Might As Well Be Blind in all its acoustic-ish glory is available on the music page. This is NOT the version that will end up on the album so get it while it's, er, hot.........or slightly toasted at the very least ;)
Enjoy the weekend and let there be light.....
Ramblin' Jack Elliott
Ramblin' Jack Heads To Florida
Ramblin' Jack Elliott makes a rare appearance in Florida this week end to do a guest appearance for his dear friend Stetson Kennedy, 93 years young (!), for his Southern Exposure Festival. It is a benefit for Stetson's foundation.
Please look Mr. Kennedy up - an extraordinary human being, civil rights worker, and author who was/is a close friend of Jack's and Woody Guthrie.
Joining Ramblin' Jack will be Arlo Guthrie and the entire Guthrie clan - should be a very special event!

Messengers of Funk Deliver Musical Mutiny
Coming up on top in Hamilton’s Battle of the Bands, the Hammer’s favorite funkateers move on to battle it out in Toronto. “Musical Mutiny Battle of the Bands” in support of War Child Canada Benefit will take place on Thursday March 18, 2010 @ 7:30pm, at the Horseshoe Tavern. The following evening, hopefully coming off another win, the boys will share the stage with battle competitors “One Flew West”, as well as “Marco Fiesta” at their highly anticipated show at Clinton’s. It comes as no surprise that the band’s ever growing fan base drove the band to victory. The tremendous support of the fans only pushes the band to produce better and bigger sounds to return the love.
Come Thursday night, the band is set to play songs off their new album. Fans can expect to hear favorites: “Daily Operations”, “Oberon”, and “Back to Georgia” off of the 2009 EP “5 Cents Short of a Dollar”. That’s not all though. The boys, always bringing something new, have a few surprises in store. You’ll have to attend the benefit to get the full ESRB experience. Band member Craig Johnston speaks on the upcoming Battle of the Bands performance:
“Opportunities to play for new audiences as well as a great cause don’t come too often. I think the audience will be surprised with our new sounds, we’ve grown a lot and been inspired by new rhythms. I think the show will be a great way to gain exposure, and to broaden our fan base.”
As part of their successful finale at the Hamilton show, look for the band’s biography featured in NOW Magazine sometime next week. The band also received free studio time, which they will put towards their next album.
One thing is for sure, this band is the real deal. Their sound compels immediate interest, and they waste no time drawing in new listeners. And most significantly, securing private gigs has not deterred the band from the importance of playing benefit shows. Since the beginning, dating five years back; singer Matt Morgan has strived to inspire movement through sound, in more ways than one. As Bob Marley once sang, every little action springs a reaction.
War Child is an internationally recognized cause, but you don’t need to go any further than the Horseshoe Tavern in Toronto to do your part. Also, no where else in the world has the ESRB, this is an exclusive slice, not to be missed!

The Vinyl Throwbacks
Greenwich....Ladies Night
After a long trip up in the van, we finally arrived in Greenwich at "Up The Creek". A nice cosy comedy club. A long setup followed by quick sound check saw us ready to go. After getting on stage and having afew customary tech hitches, we started out set. The crowd went from a quiet huddle of people, to a singing, dancing floor of bodies.
Getting involved at all points, the "SEXY WAITERS" got their chance to have a photo..... hoisting our very own Dan "RIcky" in the air for that perfect photo op... (which we will add at some point)
Closing the set my getting all doing the "TimeWarp" we left the stage to allow the hostess to tell the livley crowd the total raised to Cancer Research. £5000..... A job well done im sure you will agree.
Solklectic
Solklectic shows all Standing Room Only
Amazing crowds have come to see Solklectic perform live. This is unique for a new band performing all original songs. Usually bands work their way into the band scene by singing cover songs and mixing in a few originals, but Solklectic has taken the risk to make their way onto the scene differently. They use music that speaks truth through profound messages, and has a different sound creating a brand new style in music.
The Band is focused on the "experience" that they create with their audience, and their mission is not only to sing and perform their music, but to make an impact on the audience in a long lasting way. Solklectic has a vision of creating a movement through positive music. Building community, connecting people, and making an impact on the minds of their audience is their goal when they put on thier performance.
This mission is the reason that audiences have begun spreading the word about Solklectic, and this is why their shows are packed, and word is spreading about this band creating Eclectic Soul for the world.

Afternoon everyone, it's Fun Friday at Inkysmudge HQ, and straight out of the studio, hot off the press, is a Friday Afternoon release (in both meanings of the word), I'll let Inky explain...
"So, when I hit a little block I like to try and have a little fun with something, a palette cleanser of sorts.......like water with a hint of lemon or something. Today that something is a free download, 'Reset'. You're not supposed to like it ;)"
So head on over to the music section and help yourself to another free download...just check the volume on your headphones...

Radio Shows and Road Trips
Had two great radio shows this weekend courtesy of Steve Stathers at CRMK's "the vibe online" and Dave Charles at HFM 102.3, so thanks to both.
During these shows some exclusive acoustic tracks were performed of previously unreleased songs such as "Might As Well Be Blind" and "The Needs Of Strangers", audio, and in some cases, video of these will be posted during the week, (photo's are going up as we speak!!).
I was accompanied by my friend and "musical director" Richie Noble (@skyfulofscars for those that tweet) who made sure the long road journeys were, how do I say it, "entertaining", and helped to keep the studio banter ticking over.
Right, back to the studio, working on some album tracks, and European Tour rehearsals...
Enjoy the Sunshine

Generalissimo
Generals for the Creative Reuse of Lampposts
In anticipation of the release of closet anarchist Karl Rove's memiors of his trailblazing chicken hawkdom, a compilation of sonic recollections of Rove's gross misdeeds, Courage and Consequence: The Unabridged Audio, will be publicly unveiled in all 12 inches of its aggressively righteous vinyl fury. On March 3, 2010, at San Francisco's Elbo Room, come together with:
- Generalissimo, Oakland's one and only grandiloquent exponents of violent order
- Cartographer, a truly singular two-man exercise in deafening precision and power
- Assistant Cobra, the female-fronted Bay Area super group so secretive they don’t even know if they exist, and
- special guest emcee Jason Myers, rock and roll author and San Francisco resident responsible for the novels Exit Here and The Mission
... to do your part in preserving a truly fair and balanced chronicle of the first decade of our New American Century.
Echoes de Luxe
At Last!
As we get ready for tonight’s show at Bordello in downtown LA (we’re supporting pals Socadia for their ep release party), we are ecstatic to report that the final mixes of the NotreMonde demos are complete!
We’ll be giving away some of these songs tonight, and are readying a web page for their easy download and distribution. We’ve got big plans for this year, and are thrilled to have a collection of music that shows off what we hear in our head.
It’s been a lot of hard work, and we’re proud to say it was all done “in-house.” We were adamant about not spending a dime on this project so we could save our hard-earned (and scarce) money. This means we pass the savings on to you!! These songs will all be given away for free, though we may ask for an email address. Hope that’s not too much to ask….
First things first, we’ll play our first show in some months, then tomorrow we’ll get these songs posted so you can hear them.
Now, off to rock…

PINK MOON OPENS “BIG WINDOW” FOR MATT MORGAN
Press Release
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
Monday, February 22, 2010

PINK MOON OPENS “BIG WINDOW” FOR MATT MORGAN
--- In January I visited the Townhouse Recording Studios in Toronto’s East End to get the first taste of Matt Morgan’s debut solo album “Big Open Window”. Originally from St. Louis, Missouri, the front man for the Emerson Street Rhythm Band stopped first in British Columbia, before settling in the GTA, and his travel experiences infuse his creativity, both lyrically and musically. Inspired by the Great White North, the funk stirred artist writes about his first visit to BC in his song Victoria and reflects his appreciation of mixed genre music through nine more inspiring songs on “Big Open Window”.
Commercial release of the album is planned for late March, and Matt is busy entertaining GTA audiences with his soulful and funky tunes both independently and with the Emerson Street Rhythm Band. Crowds continually follow the magnetic singer / songwriter to hear what he plays next, and where his musical inspirations are taking him.
Riding a wave of his own creation, this singer does not waste any time over-thinking the future sound of his music. Part of the next generation rediscovering the music of Bob Dylan, it’s no surprise “Don’t Think Twice” has been both an inspiration to Matt Morgan and a motto for his own music. Matt mixes genres, sounds, beats, and styles, and following the spontaneity of his creation has won him a following of fans who just can’t get his catchy songs out of their heads. Matt Morgan’s music is fresh risk-taking, engaging, and speaks to our collective experience, both soul-wrenching sadness as well as jump-up-and-down-joyful, just plain fun. His music has something for everyone.
Put it to the test. Play the new album “Big Open Window” for your toughest music critics; listen to the passionate sounds of Matt Morgan. And then be sure to attend one of Matt’s shows, either a mellow solo event or an energized ESRB show. You’ll definitely want to check out Friday, March 19, 2010 at Clintons, 693 Bloor Street West, which fans are anticipating as this winter’s must see show. This is the on stage debut for new tracks from “Big Open Window”, along with favourite tunes from classic Emerson Street Rhythm Band, plus appearances by bands One Flew West and Macro Fiesta. Show starts at 9pm; check out mattmorgan.ca for more.
