Cameron The Public Making a Splash!

CAMERON THE PUBLIC

DEBUTED THE THEME SONG FOR THE FILM “MANNY” AT THE FILM’S SXSW PREMIERE

+

COVER OF MICHAEL JACKSON’S “MAN IN THE MIRROR” FEATURED ON GREY’S ANATOMY LAST WEEK!

Cameron The Public, a high-energy pop-rock band fueled by the relentless ambition of singer/songwriter Cameron Rafati, will debuted their theme song, “Face Your Destiny” from the Manny Pacquiao documentary, “Manny.” The film will premiered last Saturday, March 8th at SXSW. The video for “Face Your Destiny” was shown directly after the film.

Additionally, Cameron The Public’s cover of Michael Jackson’s “Man In The Mirror” was featured in the March 6th episode of Grey’s Anatomy (ABC).  The track was produced by J2 and is available on the ABC website.

Cameron the Public has a nice sound.  The “Face Your Destiny” track for the Manny Pacquiao documentary is a great inspirational type of song to get you up and face what life throws at you head on. The “Man in the Mirror” cover has a different feel (much slower), but has no less impact.  Check out the YouTube video below, from “Manny Pacquiao Movie” channel, for “Face Your Destiny”- Richard

Rachel Ann Weiss Wages War on Emotional Detachment with Heartfelt New EP

NYC songstress counters culture of irony and disconnect with sounds of sincerity

 

“Dark Is Coming” streaming LIVE on AMERICAN SONGWRITER

“Dark is Coming” is a beautiful song.  The instruments have a nice beat going and with Rachel singing in a soft voice the instruments don’t over power her.  A very clean and crisp song.  Those looking for a more relaxed style of music will definitely enjoy Rachel.  So take the time to check her out and tell your friends about her.  – Richard

Hawker M. James Full Moon Release

HAWKER M. JAMES (EX-LONGWAVE) PREMIERED BRAND NEW SINGLE “MANIFEST DESTINY” VIA AMERICAN SONGWRITER

TO RELEASE NEW SINGLE EVERY FULL MOON

 FULL LENGTH RELEASE BY END-OF-YEAR ENTITLED “PHASES”

Last Sunday, on the full moon, Hawker M. James (formerly Mike James/Mikey Jukebox, mastermind behind Admirers and The Mercies, one-time Longwave drummer), a prolific singer/songwriter known in part for his DIY production ethic, released a brand new single entitled “Manifest Destiny” exclusively with American Songwriter. A new single will be released on the full moon of each month and this will be the third of 12 tracks to be placed on a full-length album entitled Phases to be released by Ardent Music at the end of the year.
On last January’s full moon, Hawker M. James, released “These Hands Are Made Of Fire” a pure indie rock track with just a hint of Manic Street Preachers and Guided By Voices.  Last month, Hawker released “I Need Your Love!” co-written with former Longwave bandmate Steve Schiltz and was exclusively premiered on Buzznet.
Check them out you can’t beat the price and I think you will more than likely like the sound.  It kind off has that summer beach feel to it for me.

Constantine First Image

This is the first shot of Matt Ryan in the traditional Constantine attire for the NBC pilot.  I remember Matt Ryan from his stint on Torchwood.  When you think about it, it’s kind of odd that the BBC never went after this property (and maybe they did and I don’t know about it) they would have done it up good.  I hope NBC will do it right.  Thanks to ICv2 for the image and you can read more here at their link: http://www.icv2.com/articles/news/28126.html
