Brennan, Katie & The Holy Bones Analogue Girl CD

Lead VocalsJohn Weidel is a born entertainer, see just one show and he proves it. The raw energy he brings is second to none and ignites fans. At the age of 4 he began imitating the King of Pop, Michael Jackson, but with a little more testosterone. He witnessed the explosion of hiphop and rap which started his wheels turning. He also had influence from his Uncle's Salsa and Reggae band giving him exposure to different genres of music. At 14 he got his first electric guitar and traded it to George his step-brother and Lead Guitarist of Misguided Youth, for a drum kit. They began to crank out whatever cover-tunes they could with John handling the singing duties as he does today.

Guitar/Sax/vocalsGeorge Andrikokus began his musical career teaching himself on the piano at the age of 5. Once he got into grammar school he started playing various wind instruments in the school band, finally settling on his favorite one in high school, the Sax. At the same time he taught himself to play the electric guitar and seemed a gifted natural. George is still a talented 2 instrument musician playing his electric guitar and turning out methodical licks on his Sax in the Elmhurst College Jazz Band. After having the pleasure of listening to him play either instrument, fans are happy that George traded away his drum set and moved on to his current instruments.

BassDickie Lavergne gives Misguided Youth some wicked funk on the bass. His interest was captured when he heard music coming from a house in his neighborhood. Not being shy, he investigated the sounds to find an unmanned keyboard and joined the guys by using it to fill in the bass riffs and he was sold. Soon after he purchased his first 4 string bass and began taking lessons from the one and only Funk/R&B bassist Bill Dickens. Today Dickie puts those lessons to use for the band wielding his bass like no other.

I believed in the artist.

I believed in the songs.

There was no formal plan for the label, just a passion to champion something that was becoming too difficult to ignore and walk away from.

The pull was strong.

I was never out there looking, but over time a number of similar senarios developed, always triggered by great songs from talented "Philadephia Area" artists.

I have had the good fortune to be able to be part of the music of Frank Brown with 'Flight of Mavis' and 'Buzz Zeemer', Richard Kaufmann and Kevin Karg with the' Rolling Hayseeds', Gerry McGoldrick with 'Napalm Sunday','Emily Valentine',and 'Solid for Sixty', Darren Schlappich with 'Frog Holler', Jonathan Houlon with 'John Train' ,Mike Brenner with 'The Low Road 'and 'John Train', and Chris Madl who is 'Chet Delcampo'.

Together,we were able to build a national profile for the artist, the label, and the city as we would become a well respected, critically acclaimed "Americana-Roots Rock" record label. Our catologue lists 22 CDS including this 3 CD-50 song compilation which features 40 catologue songs and 10 new ones.
