| Gorefest
Promoter a Turkey |
SMN reports: GOREFEST guitarist Frank Harthoorn
has delivered the following news that the band`s shows in Turkey have been
cancelled.
"Right, this really sucks. We were supposed
to be going over to Turkey at the start of November to do two shows in
Istanbul and Ankara. Last two weeks however, rumours came to our attention
these shows were being cancelled. We knew nothing about this, but these
people apparently were much better informed then us, since the promoter
seems to have vanished into thin air. [see full story for more]-

| Joemca
Debut |
PR reports: Brooklyn-based electronic/indie
songwriter Joemca presents his debut EP, out this winter on One Stone Records.
This brilliant young artist crafts dreamy hypnotic beats with lush walls-of-sound
and occasional accents of distortion. The JOEMCA(jum + ka) EP, which he
co- produced with producer/mixer Rob Stevens (Red Hot Chili Peppers, Yoko
Ono, Toshi Reagon), employs the catchiest of vocal melodies with dynamic
and memorable song structures. It's one of the the coolest five-song debuts
out this year, with its first single being "Strangers". While Joemca's
overall sound is admittedly hard to pinpoint, with songs like the lushly
sonic "Ode to the Sea" and the sublimely heartbreaking "Panic Friend",
Joemca has been compared to a diverse selection of artists, including Bjork,
Rufus Wainwright & Bono.[see full story for more]-
