***NEWS FLASH - GOTHIC BLUES JUDGED TOO 'DARK' FOR BBS RADIO*** It had to happen sooner or later ... On March 8th 2006 I received an email telling me why Gothic Blues had been removed from the playlist and our link taken down at BBS Radio ... Gothic Blues is too dark for airplay on that internet radio station ... Not only is our music,but also the titles of our songs and this web-site itself was judged too "dark". Check the Review page if you'd like to read the email yourself. Considering the program schedule and the topics there, I would thought Gothic Blues would have been a natural for that station. If Gothic Blues is too dark for an internet radio station that deals in mysticism, ghosts, channeling, psychics, aliens and the afterlife ... well then, I guess its clear that the mainstream is way out of the question ... I can accept that, just as easily as I accept and confirm that we are "dark" and proud of it ! Now back to our regularly scheduled Darkness.
Here's why I'm really excited about sending people to CD Baby to download the cds as MP3 files... (1)When you buy an entire album, you get it as as one zip download, which includes the MP3s, a JPG of the album art, and a text file of song titles, album notes, and links back to our other websites. (2)They're regular MP3 files that play easy on ANY MP3 player you use, whether iPod, cellphone, Blackberry, iPhone, Nokia, Windows, Mac, Linux, etc. (3)The MP3s are encoded at top-audiophile-quality (~200k VBR),higher than iTunes or any other major store. ~~~And Best Of All~~~ Once you buy the whole cd... its yours to keep forever, no additional fees, no memberships... just yours... FOREVER. GOTHIC BLUES: Gothic Blues: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/gothicblues GOTHIC BLUES: Requiem: http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/gothicblues2
__________________________________________________________________________ Gothic Blues is listed as Progressive Rock and Gothic Metal... Spooky and I like to think of it as a mixture of Blues and the Macabre with a Metal Edge. Or perhaps, It's what you would expect if you ripped someone from the Medieval Age... turned them onto the Blues and had them play through Heavy Metal gear. Our Influences are Black Sabbath, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Randy Rhoads, Rob Zombie / White Zombie, Richie Sambora, Metallica, The Alan Parsons Project, W.A.S.P., Slash and Pink Floyd. __________________________________________________________________________ The music of GOTHIC BLUES isn't for everyone ... Those who enjoy only "formula rock" and "standard pop music" will be confused and feel hopelessly left out, so be it, I refuse to lower the bar so that they might be able to "get it", I would prefer that they leave and seek the protection of thier loving parents, or someone else who cares ... I am not worried about the sheep who live in societies bright light ... they can stay in that safety zone provided by local radio stations, continue to live thier lives as mindless pawns of the record companies and be led by thier friends who tell them what to watch, what to wear, who to associate with and what is cool. GOTHIC BLUES is dark and soothing and yet at times very powerful, but always very melodic. It is a finely tuned mixture of Blues and Heavy Metal with a Medieval feel. If you like the sound of Old Black Sabbath instrumentals, newer W.A.S.P., if your drawn to head banging music or tunes that might take you to a place of quiet and repose, these CD's might be for you, that is if you can stand to embrace that which the world shuns to the shadows. GOTHIC BLUES is and will always be guitar driven music.Corporate produced cd's will traditionally have songs that will include all instruments. One can easily expect to hear 2 guitars, a bass, drums and vocals on each and every song ... but, Gothic Blues is not a traditional band, what each song needs determines what is used ... one song may be just 2 guitars, another may have 3 guitars, a bass, drums, vocals and keyboards. Not every song will have lyrics, over half are instrumentals and the songs that do have lyrics are not always sung. Not all songs have the "manditory" solo, some however have several solos If you are into, Loops, Samples, Covers of old or new songs, If you are influenced by Mtv and treat it as your radio, If you adore every boy/girl band or teenybopper singer you've ever heard, if you listen to Gospel or Big Band then this probably isn't the band for you ... and it would be wise to look elsewhere. The sound of GOTHIC BLUES is...GOTHIC BLUES. ___________________________________________________________________________ Gothic Blues CDs available at http://www.cdbaby.com/all/gothicblues The Sun sets, vainly fighting to the last illuminating ray of light to dominate the landscape. However, the age old battle ends the same way as always... The Night takes over and sweet darkness covers the land. Once again the creatures of the night emerge from thier lairs and roam the land during these precious hours given to them by the victorious night. And as every night that has come before... each soul that lives for and thrives in the shadows and the darkness, prays in it's own way that perhaps, some time in the future... the dawn will never come. Between the light from the failing sun and the setting of the moon, this is when you must expect the unexpected. A time when anything is possible...somethings are just more likely. GOTHIC BLUES is the soundtrack to just such times. This is the time of...GOTHIC BLUES.
