| | Mike June & The Dirty Doves Crooked CD Mike June & The Dirty Doves Discography of CDs
After the breakup of seminal New Jersey bar band Wide Load Joad, singer/songwriter/guitarist Mike June and bassist Mike Bates decided to put together a band that could take them to the next level. They reached out to jazz pianist Rob Babb, pedal steel veteran Bob Miano and classically trained drummer Rich Malloy and formed The Dirty Doves, a rootsy rock outfit with eclectic influences from Johnny Cash to the Velvet Underground. The band gelled quickly and after a few gigs, they rushed into the studio and began work on their first record, Crooked. Released in December of 2002, Crooked is a seven -song rock and roll revelation. In the day and age of computer driven beats and synthetically enhanced singers, Crooked stands out as a raw, emotional journey through the heart of American rock and roll. With June's whisky-drenched voice and Miano's pedal steel wizardry leading the band, each song is a little detour into a different genre. From the Southside Johnny- Jersey feel of "New York Radio" to the Ronettes -inspired âsoul of "Crooked" to the driving southern-roots-rock of "Anywhere", each song is a small masterpiece adorned with great lyrics touching on subjects from drug abuse to long drives. As the Aquarian Music Weekly says, "This is realâ¦real rock and roll!"

Last time around, Shakira touched upon so many styles she couldn't be contained on one album, splitting Oral Fixation in two. This time, she focuses on one sound only: a pulsating electro-disco that crosses all boundaries and welcomes all nationalities. Such concentration behooves Shakira, freeing her to release her inner She Wolf, a wild wacko who's as coo coo as she is ...

With a voice that is both smooth and unique and a gift of songwriting that touches the soul, David Dowlen hits the scene ready to glorify our savior."Music is so powerful" he says. "I draw all my power from Jesus Christ which is the true source of that power. I have always tried to write songs that were a true reflection of the things I personally struggle with or have gone through. Being able to help influence change as well as being used by God as he transforms someone's life is phenomenal."David 's songs will definitely grab your attention. On the cd Giving All My Praise, his catchy hooks combined with his powerful lyrics will draw you in. This is a man who is definitely being used by God.The album's title song, written as are all the other selections by David, is a beautiful praise song with a mix of lovely harmonies and melodies.

" I have always just loved to sing."David was raised in Cleveland, Ohio, without a relationship with the Lord until the age of 22. His sister Janice who passed away in 1991 would always speak to him about the Lord. "David says that he wonders if he'd even have a relationship with Christ had it not been for her prayers and preaching to him." One of the more pleasant qualities about David is his humility. "David says that when you ...

FuGlu is a Stew!Some bands are soups, some bands are stews.You know how with some soups you can only identify the ingredients through taste, because they've been blended together so completely? Whereas with stews, you retain the individual tastes and textures of the ingredients?That said, Fugitive Glue is a stew. (Yeah, I went a long way for a rhyme. Sue me, it's Nashville. )The ingredients that make up the FuGlu stew - Michael Webb, Rick Plant, Craig Wright, Eliot Houser - bring such a diversity of flavors to the mix that none of the 15 tracks (well, 14 if you discount the spoken-word ramble Guido and Rok) sound the same. There's the pick-up line rock of the opener Hey, the determined lope of Family Kind and the jangly self-examination of Find Me Another that's counterbalanced by the funkified Monkey Man, the down-home psychedelia of Wishes and the Sgt. Pepper-esque She's The One. And then there are the "two sides of the same coin" tracks, Ego and Nashville Town, where the boys take some playful swipes at "the biz," namely the clueless elevation of karaoke queens to stardom and the soul-sucking desperation that sometimes comes in the attempt to make a living doing what you love. The net result gives all the Gluey primaries that chance to shine, with the crisp wordplay bouncing nicely off the sonics. These are young veteran musicians who know how to put songs together, making the complex sound simple and fun. -- Lucas Hendrickson (The Rage)Spread a little FuGlu on that angstIt's a fundamental, universal law: Rock 'n' roll is supposed to be fun. Sure, we got away from that some in the early '90s, when angst and flannel somehow formed a combustible element that took a lot of the joy out of rock. But slowly we're getting back to the notion that it's OK to rock out with a smile on your face, a smirk in your lyrics and a jangle in your guitar. Take local power popsters Fugitive Glue, for example. First off, it's just a fun name to say, and the shortened version (say it with us . . . FuGlu) is even better. And then you get to the music on their newly released debut, Mateo. It's smart, snappy power pop that ranges from the undulating ''How you doin'?'' nature of Hey to the driving, pop culture commentary of Ego. And those are just the first two tracks. Subsequent tunes tackle the idea of peace-keeping conformity on If Linda Likes It, the out-and-out funk of Monkey Man and a Spanish ballad that has to be heard to be believed on Hetero Macho.--The TennesseeanLocal Color - Fugitive GlueWhen I first heard about Fugitive Glue I figured, "Oh great, another bunch of local guys trying to be cool." I expected the typical collective of hot-shot sidemen playing to suit themselves. You know what I mean: a bunch of warmed-over Little Feat grooves ...

"August Sky" is the love-child of Patricia White and David Reichenbacher who found each other in the snowy sticks of Maine in mid-Winter, 21 years ago, and whose symbiotic relationship took hold under a late-night August sky as they lay on a beach by a lake and watched the Perseids meteor shower.She was editor of a weekly newspaper and an eclectic published writer of fiction, poetry and novellas. He wrote, too, and also was publisher of a small press that used hand-set type and original woodblocks. Their first joint venture was Patricia's book of Zen poetry entitled "Riverstones". Later, they wrote and produced plays, gave poetry readings embellished with ...
