Sunbelly, of WMUH selected Midnight Manor as a "best new release", along with many others such as Nico Vega, Dan Deacon, Peter Bjorn & John, etc. 

In other radio news Chase Frank's Midnight Manor continues to get airplay on college & alternative radio stations such as 88.7 KSPC (Clarmont), WXCU (Columbus, OH), KLCZ (Lewiston, ID), WTCC (Springfield, MA), CILU (Thunder Bay, ONT), WBIM Bridgewater (MA), WRAS (Atlanta, GA--regularly played on Mighty Aphrodite), WXYC (Chapel Hill, NC), WXCU (Columbus, OH), WGBK (GLenview, IL), WAIH (Postdam, NY) and so forth.

Thank you to all the new listeners writing and adding me here on myspace ---and to the callers who apparently called in, which is how songs "chart" in the top 30 which "Some Friend You Are" & "Bipolar Belle" have done.

In other news someone in Turkey made a weird music video of Night Eyes Are Wild (Winter is My Summer 2006) which is comprised of still shots of cats.  for cheap thrills search it on youtube....  I'm sorry, but I don't love cats.....

upwards / onward.

Yours,
Chase Frank

PERFORMING WEDNESDAY MARCH 18th!! (below)

BLANK BLUE

Los Angeles producer Nobody had already established himself as a mainstay in the left-field hip-hop scene by the time he decided he wanted to follow up his 2003 Ubiquity release, Pacific Drift: Western Water Music, Vol. 1, with one that featured one singer. Soon he approached Niki Randa, with whom he had worked in the same Long Beach.... record store since 2001, asking her to add her vocals to some of his possible beats. The result, titled "Sonic What?!," pleased both of them so much they decided to go ahead with the full project, utilizing the help of their many acquaintances to fill out and develop their sound, and also performing at Nobody's Low End Theory night at the Airliner club. Calling themselves Blank Blue, the duo released Western Water Music, Vol. II (whose title was based on jazzman Gary Bartz' Harlem Bush Music), a concept album that dealt with an Armageddon-type earthquake that sank the state of California, on Ubiquity in May of 2008. Now a four piece live band, Blank Blue is striving to deliver psychedelic pop as loud and live as they can!  www.myspace.com/blankblue

I’M GORGEOUS INSIDE


I’m Gorgeous Inside is an experience you will not soon forget. From the depths of the Mariana Trench to the peaks of the ..Himalayas.., there is nothing that will prepare you for their fierce onslaught of puppies, dating tips, and loving tributes to everyday household items. They met in Austin, but their roots are in small-town  Texas, and the two perspectives are combined with deftness and precision. Their sound is an amalgam of rock, country, death metal, torch songs, and pure redneck sexual lust. Live performances have been known to inspire speaking in tongues, also weird dancing that has been mistaken for seizures in some cases. If you can’t take the heat, take yer clothes off. www.myspace.com/imgorgeousinsideband

THE HAPPY HOLLOWS
....
The Happy Hollows is a raucous three piece rock band from ....Los Angeles.... that play fast and irreverent noise-pop. The band writes melodic and quirky songs with odd arrangements. Among other things, the subjects of their tunes include Vietnam flashbacks, palindromes, the colors of the rainbow, labyrinths, time travel, mythical animals, and Tarot cards. Myspace.com/thehappyhollows.

CHASE FRANK
.
Chase Frank is a multi-tasking maniac who approaches music as art. Her live-loop-guitar-samplings may mesmerize as she blends torch vocals, vintage guitar and witticism. In her nine lives, she has produced California festivals, organized show upon show, and toured the country in support of her albums. Originally from Long Beach.., ..CA.. she now resides in Austin, TX and records & tours regularly. Band mates are project-based and have included La Dawn Best, Ahmad-Jamal Butler and a delicious array of guests including Beegs (Coaxial, GSL).  www.myspace.com/chasefrank.

 THE FLING

The Fling is a Long Beach, CA based band that blends together a unique mix of folk, pop, and psychedelic rock to create a sound that is both familiar and new.  While influenced by the use of three and four part harmonies from such sixties groups as The Everly Brothers and The Beach Boys, the group maintains a modern experimental side in the vein of bands like Grizzly Bear and The Pixies. Their songs can range anywhere from a slow, acoustic waltz to a complete wall of sound.  Constantly experimenting with multi-layered harmonies, arrangement and instruments, the result is always interesting.  www.myspace.com/thefling....

POWERHAMMER
.
The very mention of this name inspires fear in some, fervent adulation in others, and complete indifference in those who haven’t yet been exposed to his supernatural talents. Known for eclectic DJ sets, he morphs his soundscape to fit the moment’s vibe. Over the last 8 years, he’s played all over Texas to crowds ranging in size/shape from a couple of swamp rats sitting on his kitchen table to an entire herd of Santa Gertrudis cattle. He plays for people too, but only if you ask real nice-like. Book him, or be damned to mediocrity forever.  myspace.com/alanselectronicmuse

FREE MORAL AGENTS
....
Free Moral Agents is the brainchild of Isaiah Ikey Owens, Grammy Award winning keyboardist for The Mars Volta & De Facto.  The Long Beach, CA-based Owens initially started Free Moral Agents as a solo project.  It has since expanded into a group effort, a result of Isaiah's decade-long career of collaborations with artists as diverse as El-P, Mastodon, Sublime, Saul Williams, and Z-Trip. Free Moral Agents released their debut ‘Everybody's Favorite Weapon’ on GSL Records in late 2004.  With freestyle moments layered over vibrant melodies, heavy beats, and jazzy interludes, ‘Everybody's Favorite Weapon’ was just the beginning of something that was no longer considered just a side-project.  Free Moral Agents is now gearing up to release their new album Honey In The Carcass Of The Lion, an EP titled Control This and a 10" vinyl collaboration with Fela Kuti's legendary drummer and Afro Beat co-founder Tony Allen titled North Is Red.  www.myspace.com/freemoralagents....

NOBODY

Nobody (Elvin Estela), has been a fixture in the Los Angeles music scene since the early 1990s, first as a producer for many of the premier emcees at the Good Life Cafe/Project Blowed, and then as a remixer, producer, and important member of the global electronic and indie-rock communities. He has worked with, remixed, and toured in support of the Postal Service, Prefuse 73, Mars Volta, Aceyalone, Mia Doi Todd, and many others. His releases for Ubiquity and Plug Research have garnered him not only critical praise, but the clout to define and redefine his sound as he sees fit. His productions effortlessly flow from the hip-hop themes of his early career to the psychedelia and rock motifs of his most recent work with Blank Blue, and his vast musical vocabulary allows him to deliver with each and every mix.  www.myspace.com/nobodyelvin
