Last Nite Rites
New Disaster is: Natchet Taylor - Vox and Guitars Abel Idle - Guitars Mark johnson - Bass Dave Keel - Drums Rock-n-roll is about to get blasted by a fabulous New Disaster and the misfits behind the trigger make no apologies for the wreckage. "I want to play rock-n-roll that's young, dangerous and heavy," says guitarist and singer Natchet Taylor. "I want music to be utterly depraved and beautiful like Guns N'Roses, Rose Tattoo, the Stooges and the Dead Boys." And so it is. Exploding from the rubble of some of Austin, TX's most promising young bands, New Disaster arrived in late 2005 like a hell bound locomotive from the wrong side of the tracks. Dosed with a snotty gob of punk-rock urgency and littered with alleyway trash, New Disaster grinds Stones-style swagger through Motorhead amps as tales of fast living, dirty deeds and lusty ladies are screamed with a vengeance. If the New Wave of British Heavy Metal bombed the seedy Sunset Strip circa 1987, the result would be a gnarly New Disaster. "I always wanted to play in a band that sounded as raw and sleazy as possible," says ace guitarist, Abel Idle. "From the first night we played together, I knew it was on." The Disaster Boys' debut album (Last Night Rites) was recorded at Texas' legendary Arlyn Studios and mixed by the world renowned Andy Johns of The Rolling Stones and Zeppelin fame. Combine that with their brand new album (Automanic) and you find New Disaster locked and loaded to rekindle the flames of raw-power rock-n-roll. Already wanted for stealing the show on the local club circuit, New Disaster has it's sights set on the world at large as songs such as "Virtuous Sin," "Real Rock Chic," "Shotgun Facelift" and "Cancion De Llello" are set to obliterate stereo speakers, audiences and anything else in harm's way. Full throttle and with both barrels blazing, New Disaster has already stormed audiences as the highly anticipated opening act for bands such as Skid Row, Quiet Riot, Drowning Pool, and L.A. Guns. With two albums up their sleeves, a touring van ready for combat, and a European tour under their belts with another on the horizon, New Disaster welcomes the chance to navigate the highway to hell on the quest for knock 'em dead notoriety. "We decided at the beginning that we weren't going to be just another local band," says Mark Johnson. "We're out to be a national touring band and we're willing to push ourselves through relentless playing and touring. I feel like we're unstoppable. We're playing what everyone else is trying to play and that's some serious, bad-ass rock-n-roll." Consider yourself warned. A New Disaster is brewing in Texas and the aftershock is going to hurt.- Shop: odax

Raiders of Atlantis
'80s exploitation maestro Ruggero Deodato (CANNIBAL HOLOCAUST) fuses high-concept sci-fi adventure with low-brow gorehound horror for the "utterly unhinged cine-spectacle" (The Spinning Image) that must be seen to be believed: When a pair of Miami mercenaries - Christopher Connelly (STRIKE COMMANDO) and Tony King (CANNIBAL APOCALYPSE) - rescue a team of scientists investigating the lost city of Atlantis, they'll instead discover a post-apocalypse nightmare of punk-rock marauders, exploding stuntmen and synth-disco carnage. Ivan Rassimov (EATEN ALIVE!), George Hilton (ALL THE COLORS OF THE DARK) and soon-to-be-director Michele Soavi (CEMETERY MAN) co-star in this "Italian film fanatic's wet dream... even the most narcotic-coated mind couldn't begin to dream how amazing it is" (Moon In The Gutter), now scanned in 4K from the IP for the first time in America.- Shop: odax

Contamination (Aka Alien Contamination)
Branded as a ''video nasty'' in the UK, director Luigi Cozzi's Contamination takes the premise of Ridley Scott's classic Alien and peppers it with exploding guts galore and a dangerously infectious soundtrack from celebrated Italian prog-rockers Goblin (Deep Red, Suspiria). A cargo ship drifts up the Hudson River. Its crew: all dead, their bodies horribly mutilated, turned inside out by an unknown force. Its freight: boxes upon boxes of glowing, pulsating green eggs. It soon becomes clear that these eggs are not of this planet, and someone intends to cultivate them here on Earth. But who? And to what end? Starring Italian horror veteran Ian McCulloch (Zombie Flesh Eaters), Contamination is an ultra-violent sci-fi epic that really gets under the skin. In space, no one can hear you scream - but on Earth, the terror rings loud and clear!- Shop: odax

231 (Two Thirty-One)
The J.O.B. (The Jim O'Ferrell Band) was formed in May 2008 after Jim returned from his 2nd tour as a combat Infantryman in Iraq. After the successful release of their 1st full length album in January 2009, the band has now launched it's 2nd opus, titled ".231 (two thirty one)" released on March 20, 2010. This original Modern Americana Rock album is a concept project with each song representing a perspective from the October 2nd 1925 railroad tunnel collapse in Richmond Virginia which buried Locomotive 231 with all aboard her. After 10 days of repeated attempts to retrieve the men and limited by technology and bad weather, the decision was made to seal the 4,000' tunnel at both ends permanently entombing the locomotive and an unknown number of railroad workers. Locomotive 231 and her lost souls are still buried deep in the earth this day. This true urban legend so captured the band's imagination that they decided to make it the focal point of their new modern Americana rock project. Two tracks from this new album have emerged as powerful singles: '1925' (track 1) and 'Wheels' (track 9). Both of these exceptional songs are currently part of a national radio promotion. All ten songs on the full length CD stand alone. Their individual stories and charged performances have a broad appeal across a very diverse fan base. The Jim O'Ferrell Band is exploding into 2010 with contagious excitement and originality. The band members are Jim O'Ferrell: vocals & rhythm guitar, Jason Crawford: lead guitar, David Woods: bass guitar, Ian Puckett: drums.- Shop: odax

Millennium: The New Zealand Works
THE WORKS Flourish for an Occasion: John Ritchie This ceremonial fanfare was commissioned for the opening of the Christchurch Town Hall in 1972. Rhapsody in Brass: Dean Goffin Dean Goffin's "Rhapsody in Brass" is the most popular work for brass band by a New Zealand composer. It was written in the Syrian Desert in 1942 and first performed in Cairo later that year. It has the distinction of having been selected as a "test piece" for the 1949 British Open and for the 1952 National Contest in New Zealand. Colne: arranged by Thomas Rive Like Dean Goffin, Thomas Rive has been an influential figure in the musical life of the Salvation Army. "Colne", a hymn tune, was originally written for the Santa Ana Corps in California. The Enchanted Dance Hall: Kenneth Young This work, commissioned by the Evening Post Onslow Band, evokes images of times past and the faded glories of a dance hall through a charming series of dances, some slow and melancholic, others boisterous and irreverent. Threnody: John Ritchie "Threnody" is a lament written in memory of Mervyn Waters, a revered past Music Director of Woolston Brass. This piece features the cornet playing of Kevin Hickman. Lambton Quay: Larry Pruden Lambton Quay is one of the main streets in Wellington, New Zealand's capital city. This concert march was originally written for brass band in 1957 but was never performed. Two years later, composer Larry Pruden expanded the work for symphony orchestra. It won the APRA/NZBC competition in 1975. Down the Brunner Mine: Anthony Ritchie This set of ten variations is based on a folk song recalling one of New Zealand's worst mining disasters. In 1848 Sixty-seven men were killed by exploding gas in the Brunner Mine which is situated near Greymouth, on the West Coast of South Island. Haast Highway: Larry Pruden"Haast Highway" celebrates the forging of a road through the Southern Alps traversing some of New Zealand's most rugged terrain. In 1975 this work won first prize in a composition competition organised by the Brass Bands Association of New Zealand (BANZ). Millennia: John Rimmer Composed for the Fredonia State University Brass Ensemble in 1990, this work was inspired by popular scientific literature. A statement from "A Brief History of Time" by the brilliant theoretical physicist and mathematician, Stephen Hawking, made an impact on John Rimmer - "...in less than half a century man's view of the universe, formed over millennia has been transformed". This brass band arrangement of "Millennia" closely follows the original. It is a typical contemporary work for the modern brass band. Invercargill March: Alex Lithgow Dedicated to New Zealand's southernmost city, this sprightly march is instantly recognised world-wide and is possibly the most internationally performed New Zealand composition ever! It's popularity is widespread throughout the world's banding fraternity and it has become the unofficial anthem of a city which remains a stronghold of New Zealand banding. THE COMPOSERS Alexander Lithgow (1870-1929) Born in Glasgow, Lithgow was brought to Invercargill as a boy by his migrant family. He was taught to play the cornet there by W.V. Siddall, who like Lithgow, would become a conductor of the Woolston Band. Lithgow himself conducted Woolston in 1901. The present conductor, David Gallaher, continues the link with Invercargill having spent 14 years in that city as a player with "The Invercargill Band". Lithgow wrote "Invercargill March" in 1908, and dedicated it to the citizens of Invercargill as a memento of the many pleasant years he spent there as a boy. Sir Dean Goffin (1916-1984) Sir Dean Goffin was born in Wellington and educated at both Christchurch Technical College and Napier Boys High School. From a Salvation Army family, Sir Dean became bandmaster of the Wellington South Band in 1936. After enlisting in the New Zealand Army at the outbreak of World War II, Sir Dean was appointed bandmaster of the 4th Brigade Band. The band was sent to Crete in 1941 and fought there as an infantry platoon under Lt. Goffin during that ill-fated campaign. Lt. Goffin was later complimented by Sir Howard Kippenberger, one of New Zealand's greatest soldiers, for his performance as a platoon commander. After returning to civilian life and completing a music degree at Otago University, Sir Dean began a career of full-time service in the Salvation Army. For 10 years he was responsible for the Salvation Army's music in Great Britain. He returned to New Zealand in 1971 and held a variety of posts before being elevated to that of "Commissioner for New Zealand and Fiji". He received a Knighthood in 1983. Sir Dean's brother Norman, a distinguished musician in his own right, was a life member of the Woolston Band. Larry Pruden (1925-1982) Like many New Zealand musicians and composers the "Cambridge Summer Schools of Music" had a major influence on Larry Pruden. Further study at the Guildhall School of Music in London with Alfred Neiman and later Benjamin Frankel brought him into contact with Edwin Carr, David Farquhar and Robert Burch. On his return to New Zealand, Pruden worked in the programme section of Radio New Zealand and then for "The Listener" Magazine. In 1975 he was awarded the Mozart Fellowship at Otago University. John Rimmer (1939-) Grandson of the famed British March King William Rimmer, it was natural enough that John Rimmer begin his musical education in a brass band at school. Rimmer is another for whom the Cambridge Summer Music Schools were of significance in composition along with Ronald Tremaine at Auckland University and Peter Maxwell Davies. He won a composition prize in 1984 from the International Horn Society. Rimmer studied horn himself in Toronto with Eugene Rittich. He is now based at Auckland University. Kenneth Young Kenneth Young was born in Invercargill but grew up in Christchurch. He began his music career as a cornettist in the Woolston Junior Band under the tutorship of Mervyn Waters, though initial encouragement in composition came from Frank Dennis, a music teacher at Christchurch's Cashmere High School. After studying at Auckland University he took up his current position as tuba player with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra. Further study followed in the United States and Europe. During this time he developed a reputation as a composer and he has maintained a steady output of works since, culminating in a first symphony in 1988. Kenneth Young has been a member of the music faculty at Victoria University since 1988. He was appointed Conductor-in-Residence of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra early in 1993. John Ritchie (1921-) John Ritchie began his music career as a clarinettist at the King Edward Technical College in Dunedin, playing under Vernon Griffiths. He was later to succeed Griffiths as Professor of Music at Canterbury University. After Post-graduate study at Harvard University under Walter Piston he went on to gain extensive musical experience with orchestras, brass bands and choirs while overseas. He formed a string orchestra in 1958 which was the nucleus of the now semi-professional Christchurch Symphony Orchestra. John Ritchie has alway been closely involved in music education as well as composing. He composed the ceremonial fanfares for the 1974 Christchurch Commonwealth Games. In 1976 he was elected Secretary General of the International Society of Music Education. A patron of many of the city's musical organisations, he has become an integral part of Christchurch's musical life. John Ritchie is fondly regarded as the current Patron of Woolston Brass. Anthony Ritchie (1960-) The son of composer John Ritchie, Anthony was educated at St. Bede's College, Christchurch and later at Canterbury University. Early encouragement was provided by his father and Dorothy Buchanan. Post-graduate study in Hungary was followed by a year as a composer in schools in Christchurch and then a year as resident Mozart Fellow at Otago University. Anthony Ritchie i- Shop: odax
