FOOLS ON SUNDAY -- The Kid's Alright!










Punk-rock band, The Offspring, painted a pretty bleak picture of kids on the block through their song "The Kids Aren't Alright". These kids seem to have been entangled on dark side of sex, drugs, and rock-n'-roll.  Parents seem helpless, shaking their heads in wonder -- was it because they were too lenient in allowing their kids to wallow in the so-called 'devil's music'?

Marc Seligman belongs to the breed of 'cool dads for he taught his son, Evan, nursery rhymes to the tunes of Led Zeppelin, Black Sabbath, Jimi Hendrix, Pink Floyd, fused with modern-alt-rockers Jack White, The Black Keys, and more...

By now, church-going mamas and papas must be praying for the salvation of the soul of Evan Seligman, and probably his dad too, for they are at the helm of  heavy-rockin band called Fools On Sunday.

Evan on drums and vocals.  Marc on bass.
So far, they walked on the road to hell, so they say, and this is how far they have gone...
  • Evan Seligman is the band's songwriter
  • He has starred in a show on MTV2 and a music video with comedian Zack Galifiniakis 
  • Plays a role in an indie movie titled ‘Joshua’
  • Fools On Sunday has recorded four songs at Mitch Easter’s Fidelitorium Studio in North Carolina, the same studio where iconic musicians REM, Pavement, Suzanne Vega, and Marshall Crenshaw also recorded their tracks. 

Wow, the power of prayer is indeed at work!  Evan is nowhere near the down-trodden path of the kids from The Offspring song.  Amen!

SHAUN DEGRAFF -- Living the Dream

Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire




Picture this.  You're a pianist-musician/artist/songwriter.  Then a visit to your doctor drops the bomb on your fate that you'll never be able to play piano again.  Then the biggest fan of your life -- your Mom, passes away.  


There are no words for this pain and loss.


Shaun Degraff was lost...Til one day, a dream woke him up from what can be said as his nightmarish-state.  He sprung back to life -- pounded on the ivory keys again, and lived the dream of performing with one of his childhood heroes, Stevie Wonder.  It's true -- in 2009, he shared the live stage with Stevie.  And as if these were not enough, Shaun toured all over the world performing, collecting praises and awards for his works and performed as well with Regina Spektor, The Eels, Chaka Khan.  



Shaun De Graff describes his music as:
 ‘Avant-pop with soaring dreamy melodies, experimental production and a danceable beat’.


His album "Grey Area" takes you to beautiful plane where slumber meets dreams, and life meets re-birth, then  inspiration meets passion.. Ethereal yet you could still feel your feet touching the ground.  The electronica sound takes you on a trip, but  the b-boy beats will keep you on the floor.









Shaun De Graff’s sublime album ‘Grey Area’ is available at iTunes, distributed by JMD Records and INgrooves (a partner of Universal Music Group.)

His early musical influences -- Motown, pop, classic rock, grunge, and hip-hop -- all have their imprints on Jonezy's brand of sound.  He may sound like he's out to bite your neck with fangs while doing those rap attacks, but if you listen closely, his rhymes and lyrics are actually aimed at your heart and soul.


Jonezy ain't keepin' up with the joneses of hiphop. He's the real deal.

SUAVE BABY AND WUNTRE - Smooth and Slick Rap

Unlimited Free Image and File Hosting at MediaFire








Suave Baby and Wuntre have been jammin and rappin' since 1988.  No wonder they sound so seasoned.    Since age 14, both were already in the business of performing and recording.  The looked up to Outkast NWA, Ice Cube, Tupac, Luke Biggie Smalls, Big Daddy Kane , Run DMC.  They grew up at the wrong side of town, mixed with the wrong crowds, and worshipped the wrong kind of hereos.  Yet this experience fueled their songwriting, and mixed it with flowin' grooves and beats.  These guys belong up there -- in the league of the smoothest and slickest rappers in the planet.

Suave Baby and Wuntre's are music available at iTunes, distributed by JMD Records and INgrooves (a partner of Universal Music Group.)

Take A Bite Off Twich Flava's Hip Hop Flavors










Twich Flava's music is not for the faint of heart.  It's in-your-face rappin' with a mean punch!  Cuss words abound, but this is just an expression, sometimes a metaphor of more deep-seated emotions, angst, and social disgust.  Twich Flava's has all the guts to express that -- no beatin' round the bush, no b.s!


He's grooves and beats are reminiscent of whom he considers his maestros like Snoop, Rick Ross, 221, Currency, Lil Wayne, and T.I.   Yet Twich has got something extraordinary to things goin' round his beats that are as intricate as his tattoos.  He succinctly describes it as "swag with rhythm".


Now are you ready to get punched in the face and bitten on the tongue by the stingy flavors of his music?  


Twich Flava's album 'Area 51' is available on iTunes, distributed by JMD Records and INgrooves (a partner of Universal Music Group.)
