Lez Zeppelin
Lez Zeppelin, the New York City-based all-girl, all-Zeppelin quartet, is set to release its self-titled debut album on July 10, 2007, with a nationwide and European tour planned in support of the new record. Since forming in 2004, Lez Zeppelin has gained unanimous critical acclaim as one of the most exciting live acts around, becoming the first female rock act to pay homage to Led Zeppelin and to garner rave reviews across the board.
The album was recorded with legendary producer/engineer Eddie Kramer, best known for his work with Led Zeppelin, Jimi Hendrix, and KISS; and was mastered by George Marino, who with Jimmy Page digitally remastered all of the original Led Zeppelin recordings. The album, released on Emanation Records, will be distributed by Redeye Distribution. All current dates are listed below.
Ben Trussel Band
Ben Trussell Band has been such a part of Huntsville, Alabama’s culture that they have become a way of life for their fans. Their performances always grab attention from a broad-base of listeners and faithful fans. The animated performing style of this group from its powerful guitarists, thumpin drummer and SoulFull voice has revolutionized the music industry. Ben Trussell’s eloquent writing has tapped into unbelievable pieces such as ‘Walkin in My Dreams’ and ‘Prince Charming.’ The music industry has yet another divine group who is appreciated and appreciative of the musical pieces and the people. They will release their debut album “60 Seconds of Fame” in August 2007 and their touring schedule will be widespread as they play for their fans, For all of where they are.
1000 miles from Home
With an alternate identity rivaling Clark Kent’s Superman, the Dallas based rock band, 1000 Miles From Home, transforms from erudite engineers to a force of emotionally charged rockers. They fit the stereotypical geek concept – from competitive video gaming to wrestling with the paradoxes of a computer science revolution – they’re deeply submerged in the abstruse world of the inner-workings of technology. When the glare of the stage light comes, however, they adorn guitar straps and drum sticks as if it were a hero’s cape. For all their love of the tech world, the music is contrastingly organic. Channeling the harmonious flow of Jeff Buckley and cherishing the versatility of the Queens of the Stone Age, the band’s mesh of rock and punk influences elevates the music far beyond many of their contemporaries
Madison Ambush
Think Faith No More meets Sanford & Son. New York hard-rockers MADISON AMBUSH excite the senses with their brand of non-ironic 80s hard rock with a modern edge. Don’t expect a generic “The” band following the current trend of re-hashed Cure and Clash wannabes. But also don’t expect a big hair band. Think riff-driven, straight ahead hook-heavy rock songs that are undeniable from start to finish with zero pretention.
Fools For April
Fools For April is all about simplicity. Simple, strong songs, with simple, raw production; tasteful playing and pure emotion. Their fresh sound crosses genres of pop, folk, blues, and rock.
Guards of Metropolis
Scandinavian pop rock with jagged edges from a girl’s point of view.
Dearest Azazel
So the band started a little over a year ago in Atlanta. Chris and I (Peter) recorded “Sex is a Sin” with me filling the vacant keyboard/drum slots. It sounded just lovely, received a good many plays in the first day, and we started looking for the other members. Gradually it all came together. Jesse left his life in Florida and lived in our practice space so he could be here playing guitar with us. Shortly after, Ricardo auditioned and it was finally a full band.

March 2007
CHATTANOOGA, TN—In a move that industry observers are already calling desperate, McKee Foods today unveiled new packaging for Little Debbie Zebra Cakes that attempts to emphasize the snack’s feeble nutritional value.

“When people think about getting five percent of their niacin intake, we want them to think of Zebra Cakes,” said spokeswoman Celeste Freid, who showed an early prototype of the new design’s bright bold claims that Zebra Cakes offer “some vitamin C” and contain “almost one percent of your recommended thiamin mononitrate.” “People will know just by looking at the box that every 200 Zebra Cakes fulfills their daily fiber requirements.”

Though consumer Max Swindel, of Westport, MA, claimed the new approach is a “waste of money,” he did concede the snack’s original claims of “Delicious!”
“Yummy!” and “Scrumptious!” were dangerous understatements.

Father’s Dying Wish A Real Hassle
HARRISON, TN—The last wish of Gerard Sumlin, who died last month at 68, is “a real pain in the ass,” his children reported Monday.

The grave of Gerard Sumlin (inset), who asked that his children do this whole big pain-in-the-ass lilac-planting job.

“On his deathbed, Dad asked us to make sure there were always beautiful lilac bushes on the side of his sister Helen’s house,” said daughter Monica Torres, 42. “We were all crying and swore we would. But I guess we weren’t really thinking about what a huge hassle it would be.”

Added Torres: “I don’t know anything about planting lilacs. What if we do it wrong, and they die? Then we’d have to do the whole thing again next year. Why couldn’t he have just asked for us to spread his ashes in his favorite park or something?”

Sumlin made the request on April 13, upon being admitted to St. Peter’s Hospital in Chattanooga after suffering a massive heart attack. His children were only able to spend a few moments with him before he died.

“Dad wasn’t very lucid because of all the drugs,” said son David Sumlin, 39. “At one point, he grabbed my hand and made me promise that Monica and I would plant the lilacs. In the moment, it seemed like a small request, but now that we actually have to follow through on it, that’s a whole other story.”

According to David, Sumlin was once extremely close to his sister Helen. As children, the siblings used to spend a lot of time playing under the family’s lilac bush. However, a bitter fight over family finances drove the two apart as young adults, and they never reconciled.

“I understand Dad wanting to plant the lilacs as a gesture of peace toward Aunt Helen,” Torres said. “It just sucks that David and I have to do all the work. Dad’s not going to have to slave outside in the hot sun and get his hands dirty, but he gets to die with a clean conscience. Sounds like a win-win situation for him.”

Father’s Dying Wish jump

Monica and David grudgingly browse the lilac bushes at J&C Nursery in Harrison.

At the time of their father’s death, David and Monica said they would be “more than happy” to plant the lilacs, but time and reflection on the work involved have changed their stance.

“You don’t think about those things when your father is on his deathbed, but I don’t know if I can afford to throw away an entire Saturday on this,” David said. “I’ve had to work the last three weekends at the office, so my wife isn’t exactly thrilled about the idea of me spending my first Saturday off in a month planting flowers for some woman I barely know.”

Neither David nor Monica has ever had any real contact with Aunt Helen, making the lilac planting, slated for this weekend, an awkward one.

“I remember Mom pointed her out at Cousin Henry’s funeral 20 years ago,” David said. “It’s kind of weird, not really knowing this woman at all and then calling her up and saying, ‘Your estranged brother is dead; when can we bring over this bush?’ Couldn’t we just donate money to some charity in Dad’s name instead?”

The request, Monica said, would have been easier to take if the preparations for her father’s funeral hadn’t already taken up so much of her time.

“I had to take three days off from work just to get the funeral arranged,” she said. “There was the notice of death for the newspaper, the insurance, picking out a casket, coordinating an after-funeral gathering, getting a church and organist, talking to the Army because Dad’s a veteran, and so on. I’m just getting over all the shit I had to do for the funeral, and now I have to deal with this.”

Dreading the lilac-bush planting, David said he will be happy when his final-request-fulfilling days are over.

“Monica and I have already made a pact not to do this to each other on our deathbeds,” David said. “It’s tough enough losing a loved one without also losing an entire day trying to find a garden center that sells the right kind of lilac bush and then having to haul the damn thing out to some strange woman’s house way the hell out in McMinnville. That’s not a dying wish, that’s a dying chore.”

Tennessee Legislature Divided Over Ford-Chevy Issue
NASHVILLE, TN—The Tennessee state legislature will hold a historic, first-ever Sunday session this week to break a three-week Ford-Chevy deadlock, The Tennesseean reported Friday.

In a statement that enraged many of his fellow Tennessee lawmakers, State Rep. Cordell Pritchett (R-Chattanooga) said he would rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy.

“This is a vital issue, not only for legislators but for the good people of Tennessee,” said Governor Don Sundquist in an address to the legislature Thursday. “Our constituents care deeply about what brand of truck they drive to work in, rack their guns in, and order their wives back into. But we can no longer carry on as a state divided.”

The congressional dispute began Sept. 8, following a bipartisan review of the NASCAR Exide Battery 400 on a television screen in the State Assembly chambers. Upon driver Dale Jarrett’s victory in a Ford Thunderbird, Rep. Cordell Pritchett (R-Chattanooga) announced to his fellow legislators that he would rather push a Ford than drive a Chevy.

The remark sparked outrage among many of Pritchett’s colleagues. “As the elected representative of the good people of the 23rd district, I could not in good faith allow such a blasphemous statement to be made,” Rep. Lawton “Easy” McCallum (D-Laverne) said. “The citizens of my district have instructed me to inform Mr. Pritchett that ‘Ford’ stands for ‘Found On Road Dead.’ While the good people of the 23rd may well be right, I myself have always maintained that it means ‘Fix Or Repair Daily.’”

Among the major sticking points in the Ford-Chevy debate: whether being Ford-tough is preferable to being like a rock; who gets the Chevy and who gets the Ford in a Tennessee divorce; and whether or not “Chevrolet” is a real American name.

“I resent my esteemed colleagues’ insinuations that on a quiet Tennessee night, one can hear Fords rusting,” Rep. Bud Kendall (R-Memphis) said Friday near the end of a marathon four-day pro-Ford filibuster. “In response, I intend to begin wearing T-shirts which portray Calvin of the Calvin And Hobbes comic strip urinating upon the Chevy ‘bow-tie’ logo.” Kendall would not comment upon rumors that he will apply a decal of the same design to the rear window of his 1989 Ford F-150.

According to Sundquist, the debate embodies “the deepest, most dearly held beliefs” of the state. “Tennesseeans are passionate about this issue,” the governor said. “On the one side, you have those who claim a Ford is a slow, rusty muthinlaw car they wouldn’t have as a dog house, and on the other you have those who say that, in effect, their wife yes, their dog maybe, but their Ford, never. I mean, a statement like that implies they’re literally willing to give up their marriage over this issue. That shows a very serious level of commitment.”

Sundquist, who has long remained neutral on the volatile issue, is reportedly retaining two separate pickups—one a Ford and the other a Chevy—alternating equally between them for use in hauling around his dogs and hunting equipment.

The current car-and-truck brand-loyalty schism is the state’s most severe legislative bottleneck since the Remington-Winchester shotgun debates of the ’50s. It is also widely believed to be its worst automotive divide since the infamous Camaro-Mustang feuds of the early ’70s.

“Back in the old Camaro-Mustang days, things could get pretty nasty on the Senate floor,” said Sen. Hank Rawlings (D-Smyrna), a member of the Tennessee legislature since 1973. “But there was one difference: In those days, the governor could instantly bring the legislature to consensus by calling for a vote on the ‘shitbox’ status of the then-new Japanese compacts. Those votes would always be unanimous.”
