About Emily Arin

“I think Emily Arin’s voice is just flat-out birdlike. If I could choose the soundtrack to my REM sleep, I think it would sound like this.” – Kim Ruehl, No Depression

“Emily Arin is our newest crush to emerge from the venerable school of dusky, graceful songwriting.” – Alan Pedder, Wears the Trousers

With a plaintive, delicate voice, Montour Falls, New York’s, Emily Arin weaves tales concerned with the heavy graces of being human. Working with noted producers, Brian McTear (Matt Pond PA, Sharon Van Etten) and Greg Weeks (Espers), Arin has crafted songs with a wide-ranging mix of influences, from Hank Williams and Memphis Minnie to Nick Drake, Caetano Veloso, Tom Waits, Sybille Baier and Gillian Welch on her debut studio album, Patch of Land, available February 8th, 2011.

In recent years, Arin’s songs have captured the attention of radio luminary, Vin Scelsa (“Idiot’s Delight,” WFUV), who said “‘When You Knew Me When’ (MP3) just blows me away. Makes me cry every time. The album is beautiful. A total success. It is like a warm embrace.” The track is the album's first single and also features Arin’s beautiful electric guitar work.

In her lyrics, Arin explores experiences where shadows and light converge and transformation is offered as a possibility. Whether autobiographical songs of love and longing, or third person waltzes and ballads (as in Patch of Land’s “Sweetly Breathe”), Arin’s inventiveness with language and melody hold court. “Songwriting for me is a process of distillation,” she says. “My aim is to repeatedly filter an idea and emotion to form an honest vehicle for sharing life’s poignancy, playfulness and mystery.”

Emily Arin is available for interviews.  Contact Josh Bloom at Fanatic for more information.

Shunda K In The Press

“…a route-one electro bludgeon…” – 10 Tracks You Have To Hear This Week – NME (UK)

“Razor sharp drums, old school synth stabs and the Florida rapper’s stylish, supercool vocal make this one more essential than a spacesuit on the moon.” – iDJ (UK)

“Go for it Shunda, save us all.” – Blues & Soul (UK)

“The Yo! Majesty goddess is going to make the underground so overground it will just be called ‘ground.’“ – Roctober

+++

Shunda K’s debut album The Most Wanted dropped this week with 20 tracks and a CD time constraint pushing 78 minutes of music recorded with producers and collaborators from all over the world.  One of these collaborators is female UK-based rapper, Tan.  The song is “My Light” (MP3) and is Shunda K’s most explosive and wholly accessible mainstream single yet. The track is another patented power-positive cut with Tan singing in the addictive chorus, “Got to find my own light, searching for some action, it’s a natural attraction, they got me looking for mine, searching for mind, have you seen my light…”

Next up, Shunda K will debut her contribution to the ongoing “It Gets Better” Project (itgetsbetter.org) started by famed syndicated sex columnist Dan Savage in the form of the video for The Most Wanted single “I’m Da Best” (feat. Shon B). Directed by Steven Andrew Garcia of The Masses (wearethemasses.com) who has recently shot clips for Mika Miko and Male Bonding among others, the clip is a controversial assault on Fred Phelps and the Westboro Baptist Church.  See stills from the set of the video HERE.

Shunda K’s debut solo album The Most Wanted arrives on the heels of two Shunda K mixtapes downloaded thousands of times each, US and Australian dates opening for electro superstar Peaches, a collab on the track and video for the Peaches song “Billionaire”, and the NME naming Shunda K to its “Cool List” and earmarking The Most Wanted’s first single “Here I Am To Save The World” as one of “10 Tracks You Need To Hear”. A two-week west coast tour with Oakland, California’s HOTTUB (facebook.com/hottubmusic) will be announced shortly.

Batwings Catwings In The Press

“Perhaps the most chaotic music you can possibly dance to.” – L.A. Record

“Cacophonous blend of posturing post punk bass lines, obnoxiously grating vocals and oddball synths merging droney rock with doomy vocals and a fun party vibe that ultimately melts into a wavey synth dance attack...” –  Artrocker

“This troupe is fierce and friendly, punk and refined, happy and angry and all those contradictions that add up to the rock n’ roll spirit.” –20jazzfunkgreats

About Batwings Catwings

Amidst the blood, cocaine, and Botox soaked tapestry of Los Angeles, the members of Batwings Catwings hail from all over the US and converge upon the wasteland of Southern California to give underground dwellers a reason to shake and sweat. Comprised of members from some of L.A.’s most distinctive DIY bands (TPF!, Puppy Dog, Luna Is Honey), Batwings Catwings is cutting a path for themselves straight through the high dollar hustle of Hollywood to the art galleries and punk houses that are known by only the most discerning ears.

Batwings Catwings is fronted by the tiny, yet fierce dance commander Dana Poblete, an everygirl with the ability to entrance audiences from Los Angeles to the hell mouths of Mexico’s border towns with her frenetic energy and deceptively powerful howl.  Backing her is guitarist and UCLA professor Pepper Glass, a master of the squelch who wields his axe with the devastating accuracy of his feared red correction pen.   On the drums is L.A. blogger Clay Johnson, who cut his teeth drumming for about every metal band on the northern Midwest’s arctic front.  The newest member, Josh Crampton rounds out the lineup on bass, diversifying the sound even further with his sexy funk and shoegaze influences.

January 11, 2011 signifies the release of Batwings Catwings’ first EP, “Peacock Collection”, released digitally by IndianGold Records.  Recorded at L.A.’s famous Infrasonic Studios by Daniel Haworth and engineered by Pete Lyman (No Age, Best Coast, Abe Vigoda), “Peacock Collection” is a totem of modernist punk – noisy as hell with a tinge of pop and a nod to the punk rock roots of the L.A. underground.

Batwings Catwings is available for interviews.  Contact Corey Gingerich at Fanatic for more information.
