Performing
Richard Cheese & Lounge Against the Machine
America's loudest lounge singer Richard Cheese performs swingin' Vegas versions of rock, rap, and Top40 hits, "swankifying" contemporary songs into traditional pop vocal standards. Cheese has sold more than 160,000 CDs; his albums include Lounge Against The Machine, Tuxicity, I'd Like A Virgin, Aperitif For Destruction, The Sunny Side Of The Moon, his Christmas album Silent Nightclub, and his TV Themes album Dick At Nite, all available in stores and at iTunes. He's just released a new live album, VIVA LA VODKA, and is working on two more all-new CDs, OK Bartender and Lavapalooza.
The hardest working Dick in show business has played sellout shows all over the world, and will be performing concerts around the U.S. on his 2009 "Martini Hero" Farewell Tour, including stops in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco, Orlando, Seattle, Houston, New Orleans, Denver, Washington DC, and Las Vegas. Richard Cheese's songs have been featured in the movie Dawn Of The Dead and the NBC-TV shows Las Vegas and Passions, and he's appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live, CNN with Anderson Cooper, KROQ's Kevin & Bean Show, Opie & Anthony, Howard Stern, MTV's Say What Karaoke?, Fox & Friends on the Fox News Channel, and as the house band 20 times on NBC's Last Call with Carson Daly.
With his snappy jazz trio, his tiger-striped tuxedo, and his enormous microphone, Richard Cheese presents the perfect mix of music, martini, and madcap. Swank that!

French Horn Rebellion
Part one... ...and part two...

|---|
French Horn Rebellion (Robert and David Perlick-Molinari) plays fun electronic/rock/dance music, reigning in the party to dance halls, venues, basements, living rooms, radio stations, clothing stores and other establishments around the world since 2008.
French Horn Rebellion is poised to embark on a new and exciting program. With the brand new "Up All Night - EP" released this past February, the boys are now ready to release another sizzling single for this summer's dance floors. It includes a new track, "Beaches and Friends," a collaboration between FHR and the premiere Brazilian DJs, "Database."
Also in the works is an epically expansive new French Horn Rebellion album to be unleashed at a mysteriously undisclosed time this year. Tentatively entitled ". . . From Here to Planet EB-3000 and Beyond," it is a fantastical introspective saga chasing down some of the most interesting and inspiring bits of our human history and future.
You can join the Rebellion online at: www.frenchhornrebellion.com and listen to them rock out on MySpace: http://www.myspace.com/frenchhornrebellion.
(Not to be missed, their great video, Up All Night. Check it our right here...)
And
Savoir Adore
Savoir Adore are a two-piece fantasy-pop-rock outfit from Brooklyn, NY consisting of Deidre Muro and Paul Hammer. "Our idea," says Muro of the band's philosophy, "was to approach this music with as little pressure or expectation as possible, but rather with ideas, curiosity and openness." The musicians who met while studying music at NYU, have an EP, The Adventures of Professor Pumpernickel and the Girl with Animals in Her Throat, that is full of fresh ideas—so full, in fact, that they manage to cover dozens of feelings and styles in the process. Perhaps the open, free-range moods of their work is due to the fact that the duo wrote and recorded the entirety of their first release over the course of just one weekend.
The EP loosely follows a storyline of passion, jealousy and tragedy between student and professor; all these emotions manifest themselves at different points in what could accurately be described as a fantastical literary playground disguised as a compact disc.
The result is a record that demonstrates the duo's musical knowledge and appreciation of its influences, ranging from classic rock to gypsy music. Savoir Adore's organic take on the creative process navigates the oft-overwhelming waters of playful diversity with a digestible ease, and the "Mr. P" EP is dressed to exhibit the many promising costumes it dreams of. Look out for a full length release from Savoir Adore mid 2009
