I've been writing songs (mainly for guitar and piano) for about 15 years now, since I taught myself to play on my dad's old Ibanez classical guitar in college and came up with my first tune, "Fantastic Plastic", a thoroughly ridiculous and disturbing paean to credit cards. These days my principal gig is as a professor of Classical Languages and Literature, but I still attempt to kick things approaching old school with my cover band Five Minutes Tardy and my (very) sometimes folk-rock venture, Godric. I also enjoy travel, Indian food, and those low-budget Sonic Burger ads.
“The Something Project”, is a means to share those things that are most pressing on my
heart with others around me. For me, music has proven to be a universal
language that reaches people right where they are. It stirs emotions, connects
thoughts, and motivates action. My hope is that this project illustrates both
humans and God in a transparent and authentic manner. A manner in which we can
be encouraged to be approachable and available to each other in real
relationships and feel as if we can approach God in a way that would be life
changing.
“The Reagan years. Killing Joke's
"Eighties" comes to mind, and The Perfects are firmly rooted from
that period. The Perfects are heavily influenced by the sounds of Duran Duran,
The Cure, New Order, and much of the Alternative New Wave while infusing a very
modern appeal with their 21st century production values giving The Perfects a
distinct sound of their own.” ~ MTV - http://www.mtv.com/music/artist/the_perfects/artist.jhtml

Drunks And A Guitar had mastered the punch of hard rock, but creative ambitions
left them restless, yearning to explore other musical styles. On their debut
album, **2 Drunks Working Hard**, the Licking Missouri based duo of
Vocalist/Guitarist JR Richardson and Bassist/ Rick Heim let their artistry run
wild. From the bluesy melancholy of Demon Eyes, to the Pink Floyd-esque dreamy
introspection of Running Thru The Night, to the Adult Alternative Country style
Christmas Is Over, 2 Drunks And A Guitar refuse to be easily categorized.
2 Drunks And A Guitar uses rock & roll as a foundation for its versatility.
However, THIS definition of rock has its roots in the club-filling power rock
of the 80s, when choruses were big enough to wrap around your whole soul,
catchy and as infectious as anything ever heard. While most of today's
so-called, new rock? acts limit their range to repetitive, deafening top of the
lungs screaming vocals, 2 Drunks and a Guitar isn't afraid to play and sing
what they feel.
Together they resurrect a classic-rock sensibility to the screaming genre,
bringing back the youthful exuberance and explosive color of being in a rock
band, From this, you have the sound of the Band from Licking Missouri called, 2
Drunks and a Guitar. We would really like futher our career in music and
currently seek management. In the mean time......we're having fun!

I've done
my share of playing in bands over the years. Started out playing the
piano at 4 years old, taught by my father, who had music coming out of every
pore in his body. My first ever band was when I was 13, playing with my
brother Tim and a couple of friends from the village where we grew up in the
south-west of England. Trouble is my brother was 15, and he played
keyboards too, and he was bigger than me, so I bought my first electric
guitar and set to learning that.
Never got too good on the guitar, and when a couple of years later Tim left to
join another band, I went back to the keyboards. Moved to London when I
was 19, and got into a semi-pro band playing early 80s new romantic stuff, then
quit my day job and joined a pro band playing jazz-funk around Europe for a
year or so. Finally ended up in Edinburgh, where I picked up another day
job and joined a band playing all over Scotland for the next 5 years.
Then came about 15 years of being "sensible" and making a career for
myself, while I watched my brother playing on just about every major stage in
the world and one or two old friends becoming household names. Finally
came back to music in 2004, when I moved to France to get away from the
rat-race and learn some recording techniques, although I still commute to
London every week to earn my crust and keep the wheels turning.
These days I'm really just a songwriter. The years have taken their toll
on the vocal chords, and they can't do what they used to, so whilst I perform
all my songs on here, I would love for other people to try them
too. If anyone feels like doing just that or likes what I do and
would like some of my music for their words and vocals, then drop me a pm or an
email to chris.moore@free.fr
Imagine Roky Erickson backed by
the Sun Ra Arkestra or Wilson Pickett and The Velvet Underground, or picture
the love child of Anubis and Kali. King Khan & The Shrines is more than a
psychedelic soul band with a spectacle of a stage show. They are a cult musical
phenomenon with more than 10 years of international touring, multiple studio
records and a fan base of fervent punk, soul, free jazz and garage rock heads.
King Khan, the spiritual guru and
front man, cobbled together a fierce line-up of musicians while in Berlin in
between reading Tarot cards and raising a family. What he ended up with in 1999
is one of the most entertaining groups the world has seen and heard since the days
of Ike & Tina. The line-up includes Chicago-born, Ron Streeter (veteran
percussionist for Curtis Mayfield, Stevie Wonder), a horn section consisting of
trumpeter Simon Wojan (member of Kranky Records recording artists Cloudland
Canyon), tenor sax man Torben Wesche (Germany’s John Coltrane), and famous
French rockabilly baritone saxophonist Frederic Brissaud. The rhythm section of
the Sensational Shrines has been called a German/French version of the Freak
Brothers – Till Timm on guitar, organist Frederic Bourdil, Jens Redemann on
bass and drummer Mirko Wenzl.
Their first album Three Hairs
& You’re Mine was produced by Liam Watson, recorded in the legendary Toe
Rag Studios in London and released in 2002. A second full-length, Mr.
Supernatural, followed in 2004. King Khan & The Shrines soon became an
all-star international movement. Numerous gigs followed all across Europe with
The Black Lips, Enon, Demolition Doll Rods, Mr. Quintron and Ms. Pussycat, an
after-party for 50 Cent in Norway. They headlined Toronto’s NXNE festival 2006
playing three nights in a row and even had a member of the Sun Ra Arkestra join
their brass section.
In 2007, King Khan made the
soundtrack and film score for Schwarze Schafe, a major motion picture in
Germany. The soundtrack included music from The Black Lips, The Spits, Gris
Gris, Quintron and other greats. They also had a song placed in the movie
Chiko, produced by Academy Award Winner Fatih Akin.
King Khan then released What
Is?!, receiving critical acclaim from all over the world. It landed at #33 on
Pitchfork’s Top Albums of 2007, while their track “Welfare Bread” landed at #66
on Pitchfork’s Top 100 Songs of 2007.
Their greatest hits, aptly titled
The Supreme Genius of King Khan & The Shrines, came out in 2008 and for the
first time their music was widely available in the U.S. The entire
psychedelic-soul big band then graced stages for the first time in North
America, leaving behind them a colorful spell of amazement and wonder.
In the years since, King Khan
& The Shrines have added several notable festivals to their resume,
including Coachella, Sasquatch, Pitchfork, South By Southwest and Sudoste.
Their music has also been heard in popular TV programs (NBC’s Chuck, HBO’s
Entourage, HBO’s Eastbound & Down), TV commercials (V8 juice, Mother Energy
Drink), and video games (Saints Row).
They kicked off 2012 on a high
note as they headlined the Bruise Cruise Festival and have just released “Bite
My Tongue,” a sweat-drenched, ass shaking, groovy psyched out number, complete
with rip roaring horn lines, southern fried guitar riffs and lysergic melodies.

Luckily, the continually evolving One Arctic One has no reason to fear the
reaper. Through half a dozen EPs and singles independently released over the
past decade, what began as a solo project for versatile NWT via BC guitarist
and songwriter Marcus Martin has progressed to include the bass, keys, and
backing vocals of Kirsten Starcher in 2006, and, since that time, various
session/live drummers. While there has been a stylistic consistency throughout
their catalogue, care of Martin’s guiding vision, the sound of Vancouver’s One
Arctic One has become fully-realized as of late.
Where their early recordings and live
shows were based on Martin looping himself in a downtempo, acoustic fashion,
current releases and performances –as witnessed in extensive tours across
Canada and Europe– now lean toward a more collaborative feel with occasional
flourishes of structured improvisation. Martin’s emotive vocals and informed
guitar technique soar within their hybrid rock sound, a mix of acoustic and
electric guitars and drums wrapped in synthesis and ethereal effects. Early
Snow Patrol and Radiohead come to mind as they interpret influences from ’90s
alternative, prog, and post-rock in their signature propulsive yet contemplative
aesthetic. Imagine, perhaps, a more solemn ∆ (Alt-J) or Metric with orchestral
touches.
That being said, the time to make
comparisons with One Arctic One’s sound is drawing to a close. Truly becoming
themselves in the studio, their latest recordings are the closest yet to
capturing the feel and intensity of their live shows. The band’s synergy is on
full display here, produced under the guide of master engineer Shawn Penner
(Mother Mother, Hannah Georgas). These tracks are totally in the moment and elaborate
in their production, expanding their sound from traditional rock clubs to a
more stadium sized presence. All the tasteful synthetic and lush organic sounds
are dynamically intertwined, ebbing and flowing at a natural pace, yet teeming
with a compelling urgency so vibrant you’d swear the band was in your
headphones.
It’s no wonder they’ve moved on from
the name ARCTIC to become One Arctic One. They are a completely different beast
now than at the inception. Accept no substitutes. There is only One Arctic One.
Since he picked up the guitar and taught himself how to
play at the age of 14, his musical roots have included personal lessons from
artists like Michael Hedges, Gregg Allman, Wayne Henderson and Garth Webber,
yet his tone, chord structure, feel, searing solos and sense of melody remain
truly his own.
At the age of 16, Christopher Robin started writing all of
his own music and now draws from his own catalog of 200 plus songs.
"All of my songs are true stories - I've had residency
in seven different states - and there's been a lot of stories. They're about
all the things I've done, from sailing on tall ships to being a cowboy in
Colorado , to playing for Kings, Queens , Princes and Princesses in Europe , or
the Hells Angels in California , to your typical love-on-the-rocks kind of
thing."
At the age of 18, he studied with independent luthier Brad
Nickerson, building his own acoustic guitar to perform upon. After completing
his guitar in 1993 he moved to San Francisco to start his career as a
performing singer/songwriter. Working side jobs as a guitar tech for the
Jefferson Starship, and the Gregg Allman Band.
Christopher Robin has accomplished what every musician sets
out to do; he has developed a unique, individual voice, a music undeniably his
own, a sound that is recognizable from the first note.
Christopher has opened for, shared the stage or recorded
with a long list of artists including Joe Higgs, Clarence Clemmons, Gregg
Allman, Robert Cray, Lee Sklar, Ray Brinker, The Marshall Tucker Band, Shooter
Jennings, Jackie Pearson, Garth Webber, Reggie Young, Del McCoury, Jimmi Hall,
Peter Yarrow, Eddy "The Chief" Clearwater, Paul Thorn, Berry Oakley
Jr., Loren Rowan, Bee Spears, Richie Albright, Mark Matejka, Big and Rich, Don
Was, Tony Joe White, and Steve Cropper among others.
Additionally, Christopher is still called upon to sing and
play guitar for the original "Lady Outlaw", Jessi Colter. These
experiences have earned him the reputation of being a true musician's musician
in addition to being a high-energy crowd pleaser.
With three CD's under his belt, Christopher and his band of
all-star players, including his "Little Brother" Trevor Taylor,
continue to maintain an extensive national touring schedule.

Illegitimi Non Carborundum Album Review:
....the songwriting’s catchy, the performances are solid, and there are enough
noodly bits to keep things interesting. Although I have yet to subject this to
it, I’m fairly certain it’ll past the “how good does this sound full blast in
the car?” test with flying colors. –Jimmy Alvarado - RAZORCAKE
LIVE SHOW REVIEW "...good pop punk band along the lines of The Copyrights
or The Methadones. The four or five songs I caught ended up being that golden
mix of catchy but not too slick for their own good."- RAZORCAKE
