January 2002

God's Little Joke - 10 to 12 showcase dates starting in February are in the works. Go to www.godslittlejoke.com for specifics. Meanwhile, work continues on their full-length debut album, which will be released on one of several interested labels sometime in 2002.

Bionic - A powerful four-song EP by the band Bionic has just been completed. Very heavy but melodic rock, this debut is bound to turn some heads. Currently the EP is being mastered in Miami by Bob St. John. The tracks were recorded and mixed by Karyadi Sutedja, with digital editing and assistance from Matt Girard. Anthony Resta produced the project and contributed some subtle programming. More info about this cool energetic music coming soon!

Alex McDougal - Alex has just wrapped up his six-song EP, which is also being mastered by Bob St. John. We will have more news on that next time. The single "Peace to the World" is a compelling song with gripping melodies and poignant lyrics. We are all very excited about it!

Chad LaMarsh - Chad's 8-song EP "It's About Time" is still soundscanning with an impressive numbers of spins at several New England Radio stations. The full-length record will be finished in late February/early March. Thanks to all the great musicians (Chad, Tim Archibald, Gary Bachstrom, Milo Buehler, Dave Dicenso, Lofi Mcduff, Steve Sadler, Mike Smith, Lenny Stalworth) for all their intelligent contributions.

The Coalboilers - The Coalboiler team of Charley Carozzo and Gary Bachstrom are continuing work on a full-length album that will be finished in March. Listen up for the prerelease singles "Train" and "Julie." Very fresh music!
