DEADBOY and THE ELEPHANTMEN
Mention the name "Dax Riggs" around certain people and the response is one
of astonishment, one of awe, one of a man who is considered by the
underground rock world as the best rock singer ever to walk the earth. After
spending the mid and late-90's fronting the acclaimed band, Acid Bath, Dax
has moved on and has been working in the depths of Louisiana forging his
current band, DEADBOY and THE ELEPHANTMEN.
If This Is Hell Then I'm Lucky is a great southern gothic masterpiece
that is uncompromising with its song structuring and lyrics. It's no wonder
this release has been so anticipated by fans. DEADBOY and THE ELEPHANTMEN
will tour to support the CD, which will be released nationally in late
spring.

BILL RICCHINI
Critically-acclaimed artist Bill Ricchini recorded the songs that would
become his debut record, Ordinary Time, in his bedroom on his Dell
computer. After sending a few to magazines and friends, and selling it as a
limited-edition in various record stores, Ordinary Time has garnered
much attention as a self-released demo cd in 2002, generating glowing
reviews and landing on critics' top ten lists from the likes of Salon.com,
where it was voted Best Unreleased Album. It created an underground buzz and
has established him as a voice to watch.
"A genius collection of homespun, intimate pop." Rolling Stone
"A homespun work of quiet beauty and low-key charm." - Salon.com
"A major song writing talent has arrived." -- Magnet Magazine
"One of the top 10 records of the year." Amazon.com, San Francisco Weekly,

When you consider the accomplishments of Wellwater Conspiracy's members,
from the ground-breaking Soundgarden to Monster Magnet to Pearl Jam, it's
simply astounding that they have created some of rock music's most
historical albums.
Wellwater Conspiracy is fronted by Matt Cameron, the long-time drummer of
the legendary Soundgarden, and now a current member of Pearl Jam, and John
McBain, the original founding guitarist of Monster Magnet. Also added this
time around is keyboardist Glenn Slater. The impetus for this band remains
plain and simple: "We don't have to write a hit single or any of that kind
of junk. In that respect, it's great (laughs). I think that's reward in and
of itself," says singer Matt Cameron.
