BLESS THE FALL ANNOUNCE BEAU BOKEN AS NEW SINGER

Lesser bands might implode after facing the sudden departure of its lead singer mid-tour, but Arizona’s blessthefall did anything but, after vowing to keep moving forward when it parted ways with former frontman Craig Mabbitt during a European tour with Silverstein in late 2007.

As one of the highlights on last winter’s Rockstar Taste of Chaos, blessthefall proved not only that they could still rock; but that they were rock solid. With bass player Jared Warth and guitarist Eric Lambert filling in temporarily on screams and singing parts respectively, the band rose to the challenge and then some.

After months spent searching for a permanent lead singer, blessthefall finally found what they were looking for in L.A. native (and current Huntington Beach, CA resident)
Beau Bokan. Upon their initial meeting, an immediate rapport was struck with the singer and he was soon welcomed into the family.

As drummer Matt Traynor explains,” It was not an easy task finding a singer who can sing well, rock out, and most importantly, fit in with the band and click with the four of us. (Beau) is the nicest dude we have tried out and sings like a beast. ”

Blessthefall is expected to hit the studio in November to begin recording the follow-up to its 2007 breakthrough release, His Last Walk (Science Records). Since forming the new lineup the band mates have been bonding while camped out in Costa Mesa, CA, where they are furiously writing new material and demoing tracks.

Starting today, Buzznet.com will exclusively premiere “To Hell And Back”, the first blessthefall track featuring Bokan on vocals, as well as new photos of the band. On Friday, September, 26, blessthefall will launch their brand new MySpace page featuring additional exclusive photos.

GEORGIE IS OUTTA HERE PARTY IN A BOX!

Yay!  Georgie Is Outta Here!For music executive/entrepreneur Jorge Hernandez, frustration with the White House regime has hit an all-time high. A successful artist manager who steers the careers of pop rock bands such as The Classic Crime, A Change of Pace, and pop duo Prima J, he got fed up with the horrendous job that George W. Bush has been doing and instead of moaning and whining about it, he decided to throw a party instead to celebrate the final days of the current Presidency. To make the celebration more festive and enjoyable, he has created the GEORGIE IS OUTTA HERE PARTY IN A BOX!, which includes everything you need to throw your own shindig, which is for sale (along with assorted t-shirts and hats) on the website www.georgieisouttahere.com. “GWB has a very special, unique place in my life,” muses Jorge. “He is the only person I’ve never met or had any personal interaction with that I can honestly say I despise with a passion. I’m talking despise in the way the way you despise the first person that ever broke your heart and ran off with your best friend all on the same day.”

Each Party In A Box comes with 10 paper plates, 10 paper cups, 8 party hats, 16 napkins, 10 latex balloons, a table cloth, a Pin the Tail on the Ass’s Ass decorative poster, and a Georgie’s Desk with To Do Lists decorative poster, all packaged in a branded “Georgie Is Outta Here!” box. “One day I asked my wife, ‘How much longer do we have to put up with this guy? January 20, 2009? Great, well, I’m going to throw a party, we’re talking balloons, hats, table cover, the whole shebang’,” explains of the inspiration to create the party kit.

The butt of nearly every joke out of Washington for the last eight years, Dubya has witnessed plummeting abysmal approval ratings while the country itself has been amassing a massive federal debt that has grown exponentially since he took office. So the need to express relief at the end of his tenure is pretty much mandatory at this point, regardless of political affiliation. “Well, if the polls areEat me, Georgie! any indication, I would say at this point and time this country is not only united by a common language and mounting massive personal debt, but also a common disgust with GWB,” explains Jorge. “What has been most amusing to me thus far is that while admittedly people on the left have been most responsive, they almost all have the same reaction. They all want to buy this party box not so much for themselves, but to send it to their super-conservative, dad, mom, cousin, uncle, friend, etc. It’s a cathartic product for anyone who has felt totally powerless to express their disdain and frustration these last eight years.”

The Georgie Is Outta Here Party In A Box! sells for $39.99 and is available at the website: www.georgieisouttahere.com. Other items for sale on the site include assorted t-shirts and hats.

With just mere months before the festivities begin and the threat of another similar regime, Jorge’s already thinking of the future. “God help us if McPalin gets into office,” he sighs. “However, there is always a silver lining to every dark cloud. I suppose McPalinIsOuttaHere.com would surely be right around the corner and afford me another business opportunity!”

Into It. Over It. – Year-Long Recording Project Completed

Over the course of the past year, INTO IT. OVER IT., the alias and mouthpiece for Philadelphia native Evan Weiss (The Progress / Up Up Down Down), has written and recorded exactly one new song every week for the past 52 weeks.

Today, the project – or at least the current phase of it – comes to an end as the final song has been posted. Check it out here.

Over It. Into It. was conceived by Evan Weiss as a means to break free from a musical rut, as well as an autobiographical outlet to document that quickly passing thing we call “life.” The first song was posted on his 23rd birthday (09/27/07) and for each of the following 51 weeks Weiss tackled the ambitious task of writing and recording one new song for the span of a year.

52 weeks = 52 songs: a stat even more impressive considering that nothing was composed in advance, as well as the time constraints involved in such an undertaking. Of course, none of that would matter if the music didn’t hold up. No worries there as there are some really amazing indie rock songs on full display, ranging from tender to tough, sweet to stinging.

Most of the instruments were played by Weiss and the majority of songs were recorded at Gradwell House by Steve Poponi. The last few weeks of music was recorded on the road, however, as Weiss has become the full-time touring bassist for Equal Vision band, Damiera

While this year-long Into It. Over It. project has come to an end, Weiss has no plans on retiring the band. He’ll continue to tour with Damiera and soon he’ll begin a new Into It. Over It. adventure. He’s still not sure what exactly, but check the website in another week; he’ll be posting a wrap up – thoughts and reflections – on the experience, as well as speculation on the future of the band.
