Phone: 832-668-9149 Email: nprairieview@netzero.com Saturday, May 12th, 2012 Name: Brandon What's up guys? I'm a vocalist/ guitar player looking to put together a Death Metal band. I do play guitar, however I don't see myself doing both in this genre. That being said, I do have a few basic song ideas - perhaps you can work off of these, or maybe even come up with something better. My vocals are more of a bark, and inspired by Cannibal Corpse - so that you know what I'm comfortable with. I want to start something as original as we can be, by putting ourselves into it. So I don't care what your influences are, nor should you care about mine. Let's set the bottom line: I write lyrics about murder, mutilation, torture, suicide, and anything disgusting or disturbing. So I want music that is just as powerful to compliment the lyrics. I do have my own PA system and mics, so I'll be covered on that end. A few other notes to answer questions you may have: I'm 20, will be 21 at the end of the year. I have a job. I have my own transportation. I have my own gear (noted above) specifically And I have lyrics If this interests you at all, and you think we'll fit with each other, then e-mail me. If not, go on to the next ad, and best of luck.

Email: pushback1@yahoo.com Friday, May 11th, 2012 Name: JD PRO BASSIST FOR PAID GIGS. First off, and please forgive me for being frank, but I'm tired of dealing with musicians who don't give a $h!t at all. I've been there, done that, got the T-shirt and gave it away...but sadly, that's how most of them are. However, I know there are some good apples in the bunch, and I hope to reach those people with this ad. I'm a serious and sober musician with a professional attitude/mentality, solid equipment, and reliable transportation. I know those are rare qualities when dealing with most musicians, but that's what I'm looking for in the people I play with. I also have a day job so I'm not looking to make a living from playing music, but I still want to enjoy it and at the same time feel that sense of comraderie with my fellow bandmates. I'm a bass player looking to join a few types of projects that are already working such as a general rock cover band that covers classic rock, 80s, and 90s or a Beatles tribute/cover band. I also wouldn't mind exclusively an 80s band or a 90s band. No start-up bands, please. I'm looking for a band that pays at least $120/person with regular gigs on the calendar about 3-6 times a month. I can learn extremely fast. I put 110% into music; I do my homework, and make sure I have my part down. I learn/play songs the way they go because that's what people will be expecting to hear. I do not subscribe to the thought of "putting your own spin to it." I'm very dedicated and I put forth great effort to learn the material.

The Texas Music Office, a division of the Office of the Governor, today announced the creation of the Live Music Grant Program, which will fund free, live-music concerts across the state. The program is made possible by a settlement from the Compact Disc Minimum Advertised Price Antitrust litigation and does not utilize taxpayer dollars. Grant applicants must partner with a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization or a city or county government office willing to pay the upfront cost of the concert. The nonprofit or city/county government organization will then be reimbursed by the Texas Music Office once the grant is approved. More than $173,000 is available for the program as a result of a settlement from the Compact Disc Minimum Advertised Price Antitrust litigation. The maximum grant amount per concert is $1,500 and grants will be awarded until all the funds have been distributed. No taxpayer dollars will be used to fund these grants. Texas Music Office also operates the Specialty License Plate program, which awards funds to in-need school children for music lessons or music instruments purchased from a Texas retailer. To date, this program has provided $63,000 to Texas schools.

The award was presented to TALA as the 2011 recipient at the 2012 Austin Music Awards which took place at the Austin Music Hall during SXSW. Accepting the award for TALA was board member and long-time volunteer, Rex Schuller and Central Texas Program Director, Alissa McCain. For the past 32 years, TALA has provided pro bono legal and accounting services to artists from all creative disciplines and arts-related non-profit organizations across the State of Texas. TALA's services include one-on-one case assistance, mediation, education programs and a wide variety of publications. In 2011 over 1,000 individuals and organizations were assisted by TALA's volunteer attorneys and accountants. Cindi Lazzari was a well-known Texas entertainment attorney and member of TESLAW. She had an outsized reputation for her work in advocating for Texas’ artists, including getting legislation drafted and passed under the Texas Occupation Code intended to prevent bankrupt labels and distributors from including any recording masters in reorganization plans when past royalties have not been paid. Cindi passed away in 2007 from cancer, and her loss is felt by many in the Texas music community. TESLAW created the artist advocate award and named it after Cindi to honor her far-reaching work in artists' rights and others who have followed in her path.

Hear Me Now, the latest release from local artist Johnny Bee, will be on display at 7 p.m. Sunday March 11 at Pub Fiction, as the singer/songwriter will headline an event of up and coming acts . The record release show will also feature other artists in Jeff Canada and the Elroys (3 p.m.) and The Weston Brown Band (5 p.m.). Sublime, 311, Incubus, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Jack Johnson and The Cure were all influences on Hear Me Now, a laid back, yet catchy collection of songs that sound best played on the beach. Bee's inspiration goes beyond just the aforementioned acts. "My music is from the heart," Bee said. "My main way of self expression in life is through writing and performing music. I don't feel that words alone can capture the thoughts in my head, so I work on a set of chords/melodies that best express my moods." With Hear Me Now, Bee looks to continue to share his music and experience more great times with the ones who have been along for the ride as well as some new fans. "I love that music can provoke emotion like all great arts and I try to tap into capability," Bee said. "My favorite part about the musical creative process is how other musicians can absorb the original feeling or message from a song and translate it back to you with even more emotion and feeling. Collaboration is truly an amazing thing!" After the release party merchandise and music will be available @ JohnnyBeeMusic.com plus music on Amazon and iTunes. link: Johnny Bee CD Release Party for Hear Me Now Tuesday, Feb 14th, 2012 Registration for Girls Rock Camp Houston August 20.
