The Musician has recorded a live session from his studio in New Orleans, La recently, which includes five songs from his debut album "Themes From…" as well as 2 well known covers.

New Orleans, LA -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/16/2011 -- New Orleans musician Daniel Amedee recently released a live session. This live set includes five songs off his debut album Themes From… as well as two covers including Neil Young's "Heart of Gold" and a cover of Bob Dylan's "It's All Over Now, Baby Blue"

When asked why he chose to cover "Heart of Gold" Daniel said, "I wanted to pick a song I knew I could make my own. I knew it would fit with my style of singing and the way I play. That song also has an incredible presence and tells a really nice story. I felt like I could put myself into the song and do a good version of it."

Daniel wanted to release a live set to show the different dynamics at play within his music. While his album is large and dominating, his live set is subtle and unimposing.

Daniel says, "When you strip down the songs and it's just me playing them they take on a completely different feel and that's not something you can hear on the album. I wanted to show a different side the songs I write."

The London based indie rock band, renowned for their low fi, fuzz rock sound have been travelling the length of the UK playing tracks from their latest EP ‘Mahogany’ to their army of loyal fans, known as SUBSETTERs.

Grandville, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 08/11/2011 -- Keeping to the fuzz rocking foursomes grassroots touring ethos of using public transport and dragging equipment around on trolleys is kinder to the environment, however it's not always easy on the London-based fuzz rockers. Nevertheless, it never leaves them short of a tale of two.

2011 sees the fuzz rocking foursome travel further afield. Through the never ending, but constantly increasing support of their fans, SUBSETTERs, they have been able to crash on the floors of a variety homes; they've also shared baskets with pets and been the source of amusement for small children.

One of the first casualties of the Chords and Chaos Tour was Rom's trusty Marshall combo – all was fine at the soundcheck at The Boston Music Rooms but as they rocked out in front of the Kentish Town crowd Rom's area of the stage went unusually quiet with an accompanying burning smell – it turns out that his Marshall had decided it was time for a holiday. This did not stop the show and through some quick stage management and kind assistance from another guitarist, things went smoothly from there on.

SUBSET has taken the possibility of reincarnation on-board since they played a gig in Brixton.

SUBSET has taken the possibility of reincarnation on-board since they played a gig in Brixton. The landlord's terrier appeared to contain the spirit of a drummer as every attempt of keeping the small, white dog off the stage and to stop him staring at Steve failed. Every percussive hit was met with a precise off-beat exited bark from the drummer dog. When the owner finally came to remove Tin-Tin the terrier, the playful pooch decided to christen the band and the front row of the audience… it's safe to say that the memory, and the smell, lingered for a quite a while.

Lead singer Romain Daste, tells of further 'Chords and Chaos Tour' adventures "The next casualties of the tour came when myself and Jay were dragging our gear through the streets of Leighton Buzzard. Jay had already killed his main trolley by falling down some stairs when carrying his cab in a rush; this meant that he had to use his backup wheels.

Unfortunately, the reason for Jay upgrading to the new, but now dead trolley, became cruelly apparent less than half-way to the venue when one of the trolley wheels overtook us. On the plus-side, however, this occurred opposite a popular supermarket chain – every cloud has a silver one doesn't it? A loan of a shopping-trolley (we did buy some food and road beers from the store as well) assisted us across town much to the entertainment of locals and the venue owner".

One thing people will get to know about SUBSET is that they find it difficult to turn the chance to play down. The fuzztastic four have played 2 gigs in one day a few times already but they recently saw an opportunity to try something new when they were booked to perform a 90 minute show. You see, the show was being broken down into a pair of 45 minute sets with a break in between - this opened up the chance for them to join another band on stage that were playing in the same town but at a different venue. Yes – squeeze another show in at a different venue in the middle of one they were half-way through! This gives you some idea of their work ethic and how much they enjoy being on stage!

With a number of festivals booked for the rest of the year and trips up to the Midlands and down to the South Coast – anything could happen over the next 6 months and, knowing this bunch, probably will be unpredictable.

The band renowned for its vintage sound influenced by sixties psychedelia and seventies groove, has chosen to partner with the Indie label for a string of future musical releases.

Grandville, MI -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/29/2011 -- It was during their travels that Indie alternative duo 'the Travellers' met: Duesseldorf, Zurich, London, Roma, Stockholm, Strasbourg, Bordeaux, Rennes and soon back to London. The combination of cultural experiences, landscapes seen, as well as their love for the sixties' & the seventies' psychedelia, groove & rock, paved the way for a new music project, 'the Travellers'. ?

Lead singer Gemma, began singing and studying piano from a very early age. Italian by birth, she moved to London to study interior design. Robert P, Swedish by birth, grew up in London and learned to play guitar by listening to old Led Zeppelin and The Who records from the age of 10. He played in various bands and subsequently toured the pub scene in the nineties, but became fascinated by the new upsurge of electronic music thus diverting attention to this new genre. Constructing a studio based around an Atari 1040ST that Gemma bought him as a present when they became a couple, they produced an electronic album called "Tapping Teapots".

Both Gemma & Robert P compose, write, produce and mix all the tracks and play all of the instruments to a backdrop of drum-loops. Although studio technology has been embraced, a very traditional method to writing and performing makes the music organic and human, a far cry from quantized electronica. This approach is also used when performing the band's acoustic live set, with Gemma on vocals, Wurlitzer electric piano & melodica and Robert P on acoustic guitar.

Jeff Libby CEO of Expat Records comments on the signing, "we are very excited about indie alternative duo 'the Travellers'. They effortlessly create sixties psychedelia and seventies groove with a modern twist that transcends generations. These guys really are something quite special".

Indie alternative duo 'the Travellers' will be releasing the single 'Waiting' followed by a full-length album in 2011.

‘Dogman’, hailed by many as the 'English 'Neil Young' has crafted a collection of enchanting acoustic tracks as a follow up to his 2010 release ‘The Whisperer’.

Grandville, MI -- (SBWIRE) --05/13/2011 -- UK singer songwriter Dogman, has been making music for years but May 2011 sees the release of his first full length solo album, 'The cat that solved the String Theory' on Expat Records on 13th May 2011.

Christened 'Dogman' by UK indie rock band, Starsailor over 10 years ago, the name has since stuck. The UK folk singer's musical roller coaster began in the 1970's when he formed an acoustic band named Ulysses. Since then Dogman has embarked on various musical projects and journeys and now believes he has finally found his true voice, creating acoustic style folk songs that have real depth.

The similarity to Neil Young's sound is undeniable and whilst influenced by the folk rock and country King, Dogman's music stands on its own two feet.

Dogman's side project 'The Crossbreed' with Japan-based producer 'Mikans' takes Dogman's songs and combines them with ambient electronica to create instrumental soundscapes in a series of powerful remixes.

Dogman's brand new album 'The Cat that solved the String Theory' is a collection of 11 tracks including 'Spitfire', a tale of a love affair between a Spitfire and an ME109 and 'It's a Love Thing' a track that has had a huge response on Soundcloud.

'The Cat that solved the String Theory' by UK singer songwriter Dogman is available from iTunes from 13/05/11. For more information, videos, to stream the album in full visit http://www.expat-records.com/dogman/music.php

The veteran hip hop artist will be releasing his latest single “She Can Get It” in Summer 2011 to be followed by a full length album in Autumn 2011.

Grandville, MI -- (SBWIRE) --05/11/2011 -- Struggle. Loss. Triumph. Family. Fatherhood. These are the things that ignite the fire of Atlanta rapper, P Floata. He began producing music and rapping at the age of eight. As a young hustler, P Floata's rapping ambitions took a back seat and his talent lay dormant. Several years later he chose to focus his attention on his music, allowing his talents to shine through. P Floata has developed a unique rapping style, colored by his recognizable southern drawl.

Born Phillip De'Leon Hayes Jr. in a family of seven, P Floata moved ten times before the age of fifteen—an unstable childhood that led him to a life of hustling at the age of thirteen. He became a father before graduating from high school. It wasn't until P Floata lost his best friend Steven in a fatal drunk driving accident that P Floata really began to turn his life around. As children, P Floata and Steven would rap together and imagine life as world-class emcees. P Floata began to take the rap game seriously to fulfill the dream he had shared with his fallen friend.

P Floata has worked and performed with such artists as T.I., Gucci Mane, Juvenile, Nappy Roots, Crime Mob, Shawty Lo, Maceo, Jody Breeze, Plies, Big Gee, and many more. Last year he performed at a concert for radio personality Greg Street of Atlanta's V103 in his hometown at Gwinnett Areana where he expressed admiration for one of North Atlanta's most important hip hop figures. P Floata has released 5 independent mixtapes (street albums) including his two recent releases "Money Over Everything" and "Black Can Land" totaling near 60,000 copies sold worldwide and hundreds of thousands of digital downloads; an accomplishment that is very rare for for an independent artist.

P Floata's signing with Expat records marks the beginning of a new chapter in the career of this Atlanta rapper and is currently working on a full length album to be released later in the year. The first single from this album is called "She Can Get It" and has been produced by well known producer, Zaytoven.
