The Cohorts will be performing songs and stories from their popular musical King Mackerel & The Blues Are Running and the sequel CD Wild Ponies at concerts scheduled for Asheboro, Raleigh, Elizabeth City, Manteo and Wilmington. Concert proceeds will benefit the N. C. Coastal Federation, a nonprofit environmental organization in Ocean. The Cohorts’ original music celebrates life on the Carolina coast with a combination of ballads and upbeat tunes, flavored by humor and the poetry of the natural world. The band’s talented musicians are Jim Wann on guitar, Bland Simpson on piano and Don Dixon on bass and other instruments. ―The Cohorts are thrilled to bring our music to coast lovers across North Carolina,‖ said Simpson, who also serves on the federation’s board of directors. ―While we’re all having a good time, we’ll be helping out the Coastal Federation by raising funds and awareness about the need to conserve our beautiful rivers, sounds and seashore.‖ The late Clive Barnes, an arts critic for The New York Times and later for The New York Post, called

  • THE SMITHEREENS Bio
    THE SMITHEREENS bio Pat DiNizio—vocals, guitar Jim Babjak—guitar, vocals Dennis Diken—drums, vocals Severo "the Thrilla" Jornacion—bass "I think it's as good as anything we've ever done," Pat DiNizio says of Smithereens 2011 , the Smithereens' first album of original songs in 11 years. "I hate to use the term 'comeback album,' and it certainly wasn't planned that way, but it really feels like it," adds his longtime bandmate Jim Babjak. "It has the raw vibe of our early albums, while showing that we're moving forward and that we're still at the top of our game after 31 years." Indeed, the 13-song set shows the New Jersey-bred quartet to be making some of the most urgent music of their three-decade career, delivering their timeless brand of punchy, heartfelt rock 'n' roll with as much fire as ever. Such instantly memorable new tunes as "Sorry," "One Look At You," "A World of Our Own" and "Rings On Her Fingers" exemplify the Smithereens' trademark brand of punchy melodic songcraft, driven home by DiNizio's expressive vocals and emotionally complex lyrics, along with fiery ensemble performances that show off the uncanny musical chemistry of longstanding musical partners DiNizio, Babjak and Dennis Diken, and later addition Severo "the Thrilla" Jornacion, who joined in 2006. Smithereens 2011 's title slyly acknowledges the fact that it's the band's 11th studio album, and that it's been 11 years since their last collection of original material. The album's moniker—as well as its cover design—also pays tribute to the foursome's beloved 1989 release Smithereens 11 .

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Feb. 25, 2010 Contact: Sally Steele Phone: 252.393.8185 Email: [email protected] Coastal Cohorts Kick Off Concert Tour in Asheboro Asheboro– The Coastal Cohorts are celebrating the group’s 25th anniversary with a statewide concert tour. The tour begins Friday, March 5, at the Sunset Theatre in Asheboro. The Cohorts will be performing songs and stories from their popular musical King Mackerel & The Blues Are Running and the sequel CD Wild Ponies at concerts scheduled for Asheboro, Raleigh, Elizabeth City, Manteo and Wilmington. Concert proceeds will benefit the N. C. Coastal Federation, a nonprofit environmental organization in Ocean in Carteret County. Tickets for the Asheboro concert are available at the Asheboro Cultural and Recreational Services Office at 241 Sunset Ave. and online at www.nccoast.org. Sally Steele, development director for the federation and an Asheboro native explained why the tour is beginning in her hometown: “The Cohorts and the Coastal Federation want to make the 25th Anniversary special by bringing attention to North Carolina’s spectacular coast. When we looked around for a place to start the tour, we decided on Asheboro and the Sunset Theatre. There are a number of Coastal Federation members here and it was an opportunity to bring attention to a great community project - like the Sunset Theatre. As a child, I spent many Saturday afternoons in the Sunset. I love coming back to it.” The Cohorts’ original music celebrates life on the Carolina coast with a combination of ballads and upbeat tunes, flavored by humor and the poetry of the natural world.

  • R. E. M. "Second Records Are a Time of Reckoning for Every Band," Admits R.E.M
    R. E. M. "Second records are a time of reckoning for every band," admits R.E.M. guitarist Peter Buck, "And we wanted to face up to that." And, with their aptly-titled second album, Reckoning, R.E.M. had plenty to face up to. Their 1983 debut LP, Murmur, racked up more accolades than most bands garner in a career: Murmur: Album of the Year, Rolling Stone Critics' Poll Murmur: Debut Album of 1983, Record Magazine Critics' Poll Murmur: No. 2 Album of the Year, Village Voice Annual Pazz & Jop Poll R.E.M.: Best New Artist of 1983, Rolling Stone Critics' Poll Such extravagant praise is nothing new for R.E.M. Their 1982 Chronic Town EP and independent single, "Radio Free Europe" b/w "Sitting Still," also were consistent Top 10 choices in their respective years. But each new release from the band has heightened both expectation and achievement, making 1984 the true year of Reckoning. Consequently the band worked hard to avoid simply recycling proven formulas of their past successes. Instead, they took a turn in a new direction. "Quite often a second album sounds like an inferior rehash of the first, but Reckoning represents a real departure from Murmur," Buck explains. "We didn't want it to be the same type of production. Reckoning is less of a mood record, more of a song record." As with R.E.M.'s previous releases, all ten tracks on Reckoning are group compositions, with Buck, bassist Mike Mills, and drummer Bill Berry taking primary care of the music, and vocalist Michael Stipe carrying the weight of the words.

  • Rem's Classic Second Album, Reckoning, Reissued As Two-Cd
    1 R.E.M.’S CLASSIC SECOND ALBUM, RECKONING, REISSUED AS TWO-CD 25th ANNIVERSARY DELUXE EDITION WITH BONUS DISC OF PREVIOUSLY UNRELEASED 1984 CHICAGO CONCERT Reckoning “confirms R.E.M. as one of the most beautifully exciting groups on the planet.” wrote NME in 1984. R.E.M.’s second full-length album also prompted The Washington Post to proclaim that “there isn’t an American band worth following more than R.E.M.” Twenty-five years later, Reckoning remains a fan favorite for capturing R.E.M. during the youthful freshness of a new, fiercely independent American music scene. The two-CD Reckoning - Deluxe Edition (I.R.S./A&M/UMe), released June 23, 2008, features the original album remastered plus a bonus disc of a previously unreleased concert recorded during the band’s Little America tour at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom on July 7, 1984 and broadcast on WXRT. In addition, Reckoning and R.E.M’s 1983 debut album Murmur will be simultaneously reissued on audiophile quality 180 gram vinyl in their complete original packaging. On the Deluxe Edition’s bonus disc, the group not only performs eight of Reckoning’s ten songs, “Gardening At Night” from 1982’s Chronic Town EP and “Radio Free Europe,” “9-9” and “Sitting Still” from Murmur but also new songs that had yet to make it onto tape: “Driver 8” would later debut on R.E.M.’s third album and “Hyena” on its fourth. Inclusion of the live concert is particularly appropriate for Reckoning - Deluxe Edition. Whereas Murmur had been complex and painstakingly deliberate, the band’s Bill Berry, Peter Buck, Mike Mills and Michael Stipe, along with producers Mitch Easter and Don Dixon, saw Reckoning as a “chance to turn up the volume, tear up the rule book, and capture instead R.E.M.’s on-stage mojo,” according to the Deluxe Edition liner notes by author Tony Fletcher.
