Oilcan Art has finally opened his extensive audio archive collection to the population at large! The collection, My Palpitations, is the stunning work of a man far ahead of his time and far behind in his rent, whose only daily exercise is his morning panic attack.
My Palpitations is the first installment from the Oilcan archives: previously unreleased gems from one of the most reclusive figures of the turn of the 21st century. Many months were spent sifting through dusty cassettes, scratchy discs, beer-stained notebooks,...
Raised in the icy shadows of Canada's steel city smoke stacks, NLX hails from the proud tradition of BS-free northern songwriting women. She continues to carry the electronically edged dark pop sword with Bitch Get Fit... 16 tracks of blow your mind and open your heart lyrical and musical smack. It is fists in the air, tears on the floor, don't look back but close the door kind of music.
Bitch Get Fit is the much anticipated, first full-length offering from NLX, but to call it a debut would be somewhat misleading. It's taken two years of preparation,
collaboration and...
Jerry Cherry is a product of many factors. Take songs rooted in the blues, in folk, rockabilly, and old country but filter them through a cello and violin, a trumpet and trombone. Add other influences such as the immeasurable draw of New York City and the trials and wantings of love. Take an appeal broad enough to burn up both Top 40 charts and indie Internet radio stations. This is Jerry Cherry.
Born in Brooklyn, Jerry moved with his family to Fort Lauderdale at the age of six. He picked up the guitar before he was a teenager and started to gig in high school.
After honing...
Michele's roots started at 4 yrs. old in dance school, which led to many theatre productions - both big and small - carrying her to Broadway and various off-Broadway productions, as well as TV, commercials and films. She discovered at age 6 that she was singing along to the radio in harmony, never melody... and still does more often than not.
Michele began songwriting when she was about 14 yrs. old with her Yamaha keyboard, which she still uses to compose music to this day. Her earliest influences came from listening to. .
Originally from Texas, the powerhouse singer is of Mexican and Indian descent and describes her background as that of a "hardworking immigrant family." She started her love affair with music at an early age, participating in an after school choral program in Dallas. She went on to participate in numerous choirs and chamber ensembles, and honed her vocal skills singing classical music. Shelly later moved to New York, where she currently resides and performs with a three piece band.
Shelly makes no excuse for being melodic in her music, which she describes as...
Little Embers is a collaborative effort featuring Theresa Hoffmann & her husband Anthony Rizzo. While she writes the songs, he provides the setting from which the tunes take flight. Influenced by artists such as Wilco, Paul Westerberg, and Lucinda Williams, Little Embers has found their own unique style.
As a founding member of the critically acclaimed punk band Garden Variety, and best known for his work in Vic Thrill and the Saturn Missile, Rizzo's sensitive, but assertive electric guitar draws upon a rich and varied musical background. Combined with Theresa's...
