Critically celebrated, Ghost In This Town is a compelling blend of unadulterated rock and haunting prose. Growing interest presented the band with many opportunities including; showcases at CMJ, regional festivals, a compilation CD “Gasoline Rainbows” by Vagrant Records, and a feature on Nashville’s Music City Roots. Actress Sophia Bush named Onward, Soldiers one of her favorite bands which led to a feature in One Tree Hill (Warner Brothers) with their first single ‘Let the Time Roll By’, 2011.

Onward, Soldiers are now set to release their second album, “Monsters”, February 2012. “Monsters” is a more refined version of the same raw yet melodic spirit Onward, Soldiers posses, and delivers the unexpected twists and turns of cleverly-crafted musicianship mixed with devilish style and endearing lyricism.

The band can be seen in February, 2012 on PBS’s Sun Sessions, filmed at Sun Studios in Memphis, Tennessee.

Hailing from Boulder, Colorado, Jababa has been dazzling audiences since their inception in late 2007. The instrumental seven-piece blends elements of funk and fusion jazz, creating a unique sound that pays homage to their influences while simultaneously forging new ground.

With a healthy mix of self-taught and formally-trained (Doctoral and Master’s student) musicians, Jababa crafts songs that fuse raw energy, an artistic sensibility, and diverse musical concepts. These elements create a thumping groove accompanied by intricate melodies and arrangements that highlight each member’s musicianship.

Jababa has evolved over the years, growing from its original four-piece lineup to incorporate a full horn section. The end result has been truly electric. Dynamic harmonies added by the horns provide a powerful complement to the infectious melodies and grooves laid down by the rhythm section.

Whether they are dropping some down-and-dirty funk at a late night show or killing it softly during a mellow dinner set, Jababa has the ability to connect with the audience in a way that keeps them coming back for more.

Peace Officer’s energetic live show and innovative recordings have earned them several awards over the last two years: FoCoMx Peer Award for best in genre in 2009 and 2010; Best Band in Colorado in Colorado Music Buzz’s Bandwagon competition; and, most recently, a nomination for best hiphop band in Denver by Westword.

Peace Officer spent the fall of 2009 tracking for the “Contraband” LP, which was produced by AK and engineered by Kris Smith (Dropkick Murphys).  The new record encompasses a host of new instrumentation as it heads into uncharted waters.  “Contraband” pulls industrial and punk influences into the haunting dub hop beats that Peace Officer’s fans have grown to expect, promising yet another sonic revolution in the fusion of hip-hop and dub.

Starting in Summer of 2010, Peace Officer began working with the Fort Collins non-profit Spokesbuzz, an organization dedicated to advancing the music scene of Fort Collins.  Through Spokesbuzz, Peace Officer has advanced their promotional and networking capabilities within the music industry, and will be playing at South by Southwest in Austin next year.

Digital Beat Down is a live electronica duo that fuses synthetic textures and organic instrumentation to create dance friendly
compositions with a prog-rock twist. The distinctive feature of Digital Beat Down is their ability to draw on the ethos of the DJ culture while still providing the intangible live band experience. The duo thrives on creating carefully crafted songs and multi-layered live looping jams that invite the listener on a psychetronic journey through the depths of dirty Drum & Bass, to smooth Deep House, to Crackin’ Breaks, or finished off by their bone penetrating brand of sub bass driven Dub-Step funk.

The duo was formed in Denver, CO in the fall of 2008, by Andrew Lubner on (drums and samples) and Nick Pilz on (synths, samples and loops). Digital Beat Down is a high energy attack. Lubner mounts a relentless assault on the drums and sampler pad, and Pilz thumps the low end while he warps and weaves the dark melodies and subtle textures that define the band. In their first year, Digital Beat Down broke in to the Denver/Boulder scene and successfully toured throughout Oklahoma, Arkansas, Illinois, and Wisconsin. With explosive live shows and a tenacious drive, the band is poised to explode on to the national scene and beyond.

About Kyle Hollingsworth

Thirty years ago, Kyle Hollingsworth set out on a career in music. Since then, with a wealth of desire and incredible ability, Hollingsworth has established himself as a formidable and versatile music talent. Today, as a member of acclaimed jam masters The String Cheese Incident, Hollingsworth is revered by both peers and fans for his ability to write and perform in a mosaic of styles, from rock to classical, ragtime to bebop. Playing in SCI has allowed him unrestricted access to the world of music, and has bestowed on him the kind of fearlessness a composer needs to flirt with such disparate genres. Those who’ve seen SCI know the band can move from funk to bluegrass on a chord change. “In the jam world, where there are no set ways of doing things, we’re not afraid to move in and out of genres,” he says, “and because of that I’ve learned to be creative, not only on stage but in the studio. I can get on board with something pretty quickly. You have to.”

Hollingsworth’s 2009 release, titled Then There’s Now, finds the musician coming in to his own. With solid song material and a slamming new band, Kyle is making his mark in the new, always-evolving music scene. Then There’s Now delivers a blend of vocal and instrumental tunes and seamlessly displays his growth as a musician and as a songwriter.

The career of DJ Grandmaster Flash began in the Bronx with neighborhood block parties that essentially were the start of hip-hop—the dawn of a musical genre. He was the first DJ to physically lay his hands on the vinyl and manipulate it in a backward, forward or counterclockwise motion, when most DJs simply handled the record by the edges, put down the tone arm, and let it play. Those DJs let the tone arm guide their music, but Flash marked up the body of the vinyl with crayon, fluorescent pen, and grease pencil—and those markings became his compass.

He invented the Quick Mix Theory, which included techniques such as the double-back, back-door, back-spin, and phasing. This allowed a DJ to make music by touching the record and gauging its revolutions to make his own beat and his own music. Flash’s template grew to include cuttin’, which, in turn, spawned scratching, transforming, the Clock Theory and the like. He laid the groundwork for everything a hip hop DJ can do with a record today, other than just letting it play. What we call a DJ today is a role that Flash invented.

By the end of the 70s, Flash had started another trend that became a hallmark of hip-hop: emcees asked to rap over his beats. Before long, he started his own group, Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five. Their reputation grew up around the way the group traded off and blended their lyrics with Flash’s unrivaled skills as a DJ and his acrobatic performances—spinning and cutting vinyl with his fingers, toes, elbows, and any object at hand.

Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five went Platinum with their single, “The Message.” Meanwhile, the single “The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash on the Wheels of Steel” introduced hip hop DJing to a larger listening audience than it had ever known before; it became the first DJ composition to be recorded by a DJ. The group’s fame only grew with “Superappin,” “Freedom,” “Larry’s Dance Theme,” and “You Know What Time It Is.” Punk and new wave fans were introduced to Flash through Blondie, who immortalized him in their hit, “Rapture.”

The rock n’ roll establishment also recognized Flash with an honor no one else in hip hop has received: Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five became the first hip hop group ever inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007. Flash is also the only hip hop DJ to ever receive that honor.

By the time the 90s rolled around, Flash was hand picked by Chris Rock to spend five years as the music director for his groundbreaking HBO series, The Chris Rock Show. More recently, Flash has played for audiences as large as the Super Bowl and as elite as Queen Elizabeth II of Great Britain.

Today, Flash has a weekly show on Sirius Radio, The Flash Mash on Hot Jams 50. The show is a kaleidoscopic mash-up of Flash’s tastes, spanning just about any genre from just about any corner of the world; it airs on Saturdays from 5-8pm.

On top of his induction to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Flash has been the recipient of many awards, including VH1 Hip Hop Honors; The Icon Award from BET in honor of his contribution to hip hop as a DJ; The Lifetime Achievement Award from the RIAA; and Bill Gates’ Vanguard Award.

Although Flash has been in the business for many years, he shows no sign of slowing down: this coming year promise, a new album, and he will began his descent from the analog vinyl world of DJing to enter the digital world of DJing. His DJ application of choice will be “Traktor Scratch” by Native Instruments.

Grandmaster Flash’s memoirs, The Adventures of Grandmaster Flash – My Life My Beats is slated to hit bookstores on June 10. The book is penned by David Ritz, author of both Marvin Gaye’s and Ray Charles’ biographies. In this extraordinary book, Grandmaster Flash sets down Hip Hop history,sharing for the first time his personal and difficult life story—along with no small amount of wisdom and experience.
