Rock group Trout announced that they are working with several great venues in Minneapolis to make rock the dominant music genre for the city.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/29/2013 -- Based in Minneapolis, the rock group "Trout" has announced that they are working with 3 great venues; Fine Line, First Avenue, and the Pour House among others to make rock music the dominant genre in the city. The goal is to bring rock and roll back to the city.

The band had just returned from performing at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas in February, and SXSW in Austin Tx in March and is now concentrating on finishing up writing new music for a late summer recording session at "The Hideaway" in MPLS. Band spokesman Troy Martenson, lead singer and bassist said, "The band is working with clubs such as the Fine Line, First Ave, and the Pour House in Minneapolis, all great venues to bring the magic of rock and roll to the top of the docket here. In a city known for "Hip Hop" and trendy "Folk Rock" This won't be an easy task, but we're up for it. Everywhere Trout plays we hear people say the same thing; "I wish more bands were playing your type of music" So we'd like to change all that and push rock back to the top of the popularity list."

According to their current Reverb nation Bio, "rock band Trout was established 2002 and is led by Singer-Bassist Troy Martenson. Their latest CD "Seasoned with Hunger" has seen rave reviews. Recently the group has signed licensing agreements with VH1, MTV and played a showcase at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. Although Trout has their own unique sound, the band has been described as a mix of Foo Fighters, Kings of Leon with a touch of Primus. The band recently signed a promotional deal with Tinderbox Music (MPLS) giving Trout play on over 130-college radio stations nationwide, as well as the recent licensing agreements."

Martenson had this to say about the release of "Seasoned with Hunger". "Our EP has set the band apart from the crowd in many ways. We took the time and money to record and produce it correctly, and our work turned out better than we could have ever hoped. The response from our fans has been tremendous, as well as helped to add new fans that love our style of music."

To see a live performance of Trout, they will be playing at Kelly's Korner on June 15 in Centerville Minnesota, Double Day's Sports Bar on June 21 in Eau Claire Wisconsin, and at Trapper's Bar and Grill on July 13 in Lino Lakes near St. Paul Minnesota.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/29/2013 -- Based out of Michigan, alternative rock group "Your Gracious Host" has announced that they will release their fifth album sometime in May. Your Gracious Host is an indie pop/rock outfit led by Tom Curless, who burst onto the national music scene as the drummer for the Chicago based pop band Autoliner more than a decade ago. In 2006 Curless created Your Gracious Host, also known as YGH, and has produced 4 albums, and now the fifth one will be completed in May.

Curless said, "with the upcoming new music, and marketing campaign 2013 is going to be a promising year for YGH. Also, I'm really proud that Thistime Music has chosen to distribute my music internationally in Japan.

According to a CDBaby biography, "Tom's first major Chicago based band Autoliner/Life on Mars released two records on the independent Parasol label in Champaign, IL and gained national attention, with rave reviews in The Chicago Tribune, Sun Times, All music.com, and a host of others. They received radio play on WXRT in Chicago and WNEW in New York, as well as playing shows in Los Angeles and House of Blues in Chicago.

In July 2009 Your Gracious Host, Tom's new endeavour, unleashed "Easy Red", which was the follow up to his debut album titled, "Your Gracious Host". No less ambitious than the first record, "Easy Red" pleased many new fans and won the hearts of pop music lovers everywhere. YGH then released a third album in 2010 titled, "Sleepers Awaken, and his last album release was in 2012 with "1UP 2Down".

A recent review said, "Curless has the knack for memorable melodies and hooks and has been putting out critically acclaimed independent records for the last few years. With a voice like Neil Young and harmonies and beats that sounds similar to Cold Play, fans will love to hear his music over and over. Curless says REM, Beach Boys, Crosby-Stills-Nash-Young, and Teenage Fanclub have all guided his music.

Now encouraged by his growing creative body of work, Curless said, "Falling off the Earth is going to be the best record yet, with potential for some hits, and possibly a license deal for TV or movie.

YGH has signed on with The WiFi PR Group based in Los Angeles California at http://www.wifiprgroup.com

The electronic music artist LeanDro is proud to announce that he will be performing live at the Full Moon Further Campout Celebration in Owensboro Kentucky on April 27, 2013.

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/26/2013 -- LeanDRO is an electronic music project that consists of smooth melodies and grimy BASS lines, with the addition of a live guitar. When asked about his style of music, LeanDRO said, "my music is dedicated to fighting the norm and making music that just sounds good, regardless of what seems to be the mainstream".

While developing his musical style LeanDRO coined the genre DROstep, which is a play on dubstep, by keeping the traditional drum beats of dubstep, but maintaining a more open range of versatility. LeanDRO brings an engaging presence to the crowd with his soulful beats and raw energy. LeanDRO's usual show circuit includes being booked in Louisville, Nashville, and eastern US cities, and has played at notable venues such as Nashville's 12th and Porter and Louisville's Diamonds Music Hall. LeanDRO has graced the stage with such artist as electronic jam band The Malah and dub step power hitter Crizzly.

Regarding the upcoming Full Moon Further Event LeanDro said, "I'll be playing early saturday night, make sure you come out get your mind right, ill be playing funk to get your feet shakin'."

LeanDro is an artist that is dedicated to his listener's enjoyment. He said, "I learned how to play guitar because music pushed me through some tough times. When I went to my first EDM show, I realized the impact and joy people receive from these shows. This inspired me to start producing beats so that when people listen to my music they can forget about their troubles for that moment, and just have an awesome time with no worries. Music seems to be one of the only things that bring people together for the purpose of happiness, and that's what I'm all about." Currently, LeanDRO is not into selling his music and said, "I currently am not selling my music, and plan on keeping digital freedom by allowing my music to be downloaded for free."

LeanDro has also just recently launched his official Artist Profile on MTV at: http://www.mtv.com/artists/Lean-Dro

Los Angeles, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 04/24/2013 -- Based in Minneapolis Minnesota, emo-pop punk group Attention,Whore is a self described "pop punk/ emo trio who humorously describes their likes as pizza, hanging out, pancakes, long walks on the beach, sleeping and playing music in dirty basements". Attention,Whore is proud to announce their next upcoming performance appearance on May 4, 2013 at the Garage, 75 Civic Center Parkway, Burnsville, MN. Recently they played to a sell out crowd at "City of the Weak" EP release show at the Beat Coffee House.

Members of the group include: Katy Marosok who sings vocals and plays guitar, Laurel McDonald who plays bass, and BJ Foster on drums. A spokesman for the group said, "A lot of Katy's song writing comes from just feeling like an outcast and alone, and she wants to share her dreams and hopes. The main inspiration for every song is to make the audience feel like they're not alone. She really wants the audience to know that someone else out there feels just like them. The biggest and best feeling she can impart is being able to take someone out of their problems, even if it's just for a few minutes".

The group and their style of music are often compared to Paramore, Blink and Brand New. Their songs are well-crafted catchy tunes with power chord riffs, instant hooks and big sing-along choruses. Marosok's humor and razor sharp wit is becoming a signature brand for their lyrics and sing-along anthems, as demonstrated on their latest single, GFY, where it is currently streaming on the Warped Tour Battle of the Bands. Attention, Whore will be announcing the details of all of their their upcoming tour dates, and hopes that their new fans will vote for them to play on this year's Warped Tour by visiting this link:http://www.battleofthebands.com/u/attnwhre
