ATTIKA 7 -- New Metal Band Featuring Biohazard's Evan For Immediate Release September 26th, 2011 ATTIKA 7 -- New Metal Band Featuring Biohazard's Evan Seinfeld, Soulfly's Tony Campos, Walls of Jericho's Dustin Schoenhofer, and Master Bike Builder, Lead Guitarist and Songwriter Rusty Coones – Recording New Album Now ATTIKA 7 is a brand new force in the ever-evolving heavy metal world, featuring Evan Seinfeld, formerly of Biohazard, lead guitarist, songwriter and famed motorcycle builder Rusty Coones, bassist Tony Campos, founding member of Static X, who also currently performs in Soulfly, Prong, Possessed, Asesino and Ministry, and drummer Dustin Schoenhofer from Walls of Jericho and Bury Your Dead fame. ATTIKA 7 will be releasing their debut album later this year and are currently working on their first video for the single ‘Serial Killer’. The band describes their lyrics and ideology as genuine and conveys a true American outlaw lifestyle. The ATTIKA 7 sound boasts very heavy, down-tuned and melodic harmonies, all the while boasting brutal hooks and grooves. The band draws from several musical influences, including their own additional projects, and has been compared to the likes of Black Sabbath, Metallica, Godsmack, Pantera, and White Zombie. The timeless no-frills songwriting of ATTIKA 7 is set apart from today’s homogenized, derivative copycat bands by so many things, but above all: authenticity. The majority of the album was written by lifetime biker and ATTIKA 7 lead guitarist Rusty Coones while serving a seven-year federal prison sentence for a false conviction. Rather than rat on his friends, Rusty used the tension to teach himself how to play guitar in solitary confinement. The passion and street credibility in his lyrics and riffs speak to the underdogs of the world who will not break, will not bend, but stand against forever. When Rusty called best friend and riding buddy Evan Seinfeld to check in on whether he knew of a singer who could join his band, Evan immediately jumped in without hesitation. Since then, Rusty and Evan have been writing, recording, living and breathing ATTIKA 7 and haven’t looked back. Evan feels that ATTIKA 7 is the beginning of a new chapter. “As much as Biohazard has been the biggest part of my musical past and my main musical focus for more than two decades, it is time for me to do something new,” states Evan. “It is time for me to cement my musical future. I continue to stand behind the ideals projected in songs I wrote like ‘Down For Life’... and philosophies like standing up for what you believe in no matter what and sticking by your true friends and family to the end! I have so many creative ideas that needed a new home to flourish and I am so grateful for the opportunity to be a member of ATTIKA 7!” “It is time for me to go on to something exciting and fresh to pursue my dreams and expand my horizons in a more positive situation for me,” adds Evan. “Biohazard is a band that I personally conjured and founded in 1987 and helped me to realize many of my dreams, see the world, and connect with many fans everywhere. I hope to keep the memory of Biohazard where it belongs, in a place of dignity and respect!” The rebellious anthems of ATTIKA 7 speak volumes to the outlaws of society who refuse to compromise, refuse to fit in, refuse to play it safe, or refuse to sell out their beliefs, whatever they may be. ATTIKA 7 is your own personal soundtrack to your badass lifestyle, as you speed past the cops on your beefed up Harley with your middle finger in the air! ATTIKA 7 is currently interviewing management, labels, agencies, etc. If your management firm, label or agency is interested in representing ATTIKA 7, please contact [email protected].

  • Mapping Social Conflicts in Natural Resources: a Text Mining Study of Extractive Activities
    Mapping social conflicts in natural resources: a text mining study of extractive activities Ramiro Albrieu and Gabriel Palazzo Abstract Applying text mining techniques, a methodology was developed to measure the number of social conflicts related to the exploitation of non-renewable natural resources. The study focuses on conflicts in four mining countries (Australia, Canada, Chile and Peru) between 2003 and 2016, based on more than 20,000 articles from the leading newspapers of each country. A statically significant correlation was found between the main index and mineral rents as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP). However, the results should be interpreted with caution since endogeneity issues have not been addressed and the indices could be biased by various, country-specific factors. This study’s main outcome is a database with different indices of soft conflicts related to the exploitation of non-renewables natural resources and its media coverage in Australia, Canada, Chile and Peru. Keywords Social conflict, natural resources, non-renewable resources, mining, statistical data, Australia, Canada, Chile, Peru JEL classification J23, J24, O33 Authors Ramiro Albrieu is an associate researcher in the Economics Department of the Center for the Study of State and Society (CEDES).

On the one hand, it can boost government revenues and provide the economy with the necessary income for growth, what Hirschman (1977) called indirect linkages.

    For Immediate Release May 9, 2012 ATTIKA 7: Guitarist Rusty Coones to Appear on Episode Two of the New DISCOVERY CHANNEL Motorcycle Club Show ‘The Devil’s Ride’ New Full-Length ATTIKA 7 Album ‘Blood Of My Enemies’ Hits Stores on July 31, 2012 ATTIKA 7 guitarist Rusty Coones is set to appear on this season of the Discovery Channel’s new motorcycle club series, ‘The Devil’s Ride’. The show premiered yesterday evening and serves as a window into the world of motorcycle clubs, featuring members of San Deigo’s Laffing Devils. Rusty Coones is scheduled to appear in Episode 2 next week, and ATTIKA 7 is scheduled to appear in one of the later episodes as a band. The music of ATTIKA 7 is set to be featured in select episodes throughout the series as well. Entertainment Weekly recently posted an exclusive preview of the show, available for viewing here. ATTIKA 7 is set to release their debut full-length album, Blood of My Enemies on July 31, 2012 with Rocket Science Ventures. The fan-dubbed “super group” features ex- Biohazard vocalist Evan Seinfeld, lead guitarist, notable songwriter and famed (Sons of Anarchy) motorcycle builder Rusty Coones, and bassist Tony Campos, founding member of Static X, who also currently performs in Soulfly, Prong, Possessed, Asesino and Ministry. ATTIKA 7 combines evil sounding riffs, melodic vocal lines, with old school guitar solos and undeniable grooves into a sonic frenzy of outlaw biker counter culture. The band recorded Blood of My Enemies with legendary producer MUDROCK (Avenged Sevenfold, Godsmack). Blood of My Enemies is a brutal slab of unrelenting hard rock, with the initial groundwork laid by Rusty Coones in the confines of a federal penitentiary.

  • (The Other) Paris Las Vegas
    (The other) Paris Las Vegas Kristen Peterson Thu, Mar 10, 2011 (midnight) We’re hanging around Nico Santucci’s place with his 12-week-old African serval, Monster, waiting for former All-Star pitcher Chuck Finley to drop in. A European television crew is roaming the grounds, taping a weekend show on Santucci, a bachelor entrepreneur, and his unusual home, for a weekend show about the opulent lives of the world’s wealthy. Taping is common here, especially by Europeans. VH1’s Supergroup filmed in the home a few years ago, hosting Ted Nugent, Sebastian Bach, Scott Ian, Jason Bonham and Evan Seinfeld for eight weeks. In the past month alone, half a dozen film crews have trekked to this little villa off Jones and Desert Inn for show tapings and photo shoots. On March 14, Santucci says, a crew will shoot the home for Real Housewife of New Jersey Danielle Staub’s new show, Social. Finley arrives and the cameraman is at the ready, which means the rest of us need to hide— among the embellished fireplaces, stocked bars, ornate moldings and cherub-heavy murals that cover the walls and ceilings. We’ve been dodging the camera all afternoon, ducking into passageways, crossing corridors and landing in darkened nooks of this 14,500-square-foot home, further accelerating the idea that maybe, just maybe, we’re in a real life episode of Scooby Doo, lost in a manse on a Saturday. Finley comes and goes. The taping and interviews ensue. With Monster roaming freely, doors must be latched. The cat is, after all, worth as much as a BMW and capable of wandering at high speed.

We’ve got the goss on Splendour, reviews and interviews. So read on tune- loving friends, read on... Sparkadia You have probably heard of Sparkadia. A couple of months ago their debut album Postcards was featured on Triple J. They also recently completed a run of national dates stopping off in Adelaide to play a show with Perth’s the Dirty Secrets at Jive. At the moment they are probably still overseas having just played Glastonbury and T in the Park not to mention several other high profile festivals. I asked Alex, vocalist/guitarist, and Dave, drummer, how they felt about their recent run of good fortune. “It’s pretty sweet”, Dave confides. Of course it wasn’t always like this. “It’s been a real long hard slog and the combination of ‘a lot of luck and a lot of hard work’,” Alex tells me. The guys then explain how they spent nineteen hours in a tour van with The Cops to get to a show in Sydney, having just played in Adelaide. Inevitably, I got onto the subject of Sparkadia’s early days. Alex and Dave were school mates who only bonded over a love of Metallica and ‘Maiden. I gasped in the realisation that I had finally discovered One of the groups defining moments occurred at Splendour in the some like minded heavy metal fans. We spent a little time discussing Grass in 2003.

  • Anna in the Tropics by Nilo Cruz
    Anna in the Tropics By Nilo Cruz Director's Concept Ofeila says to Marela, “That’s why the writer describes love as a thief. The thief is the mysterious fever that poets have been studying for years.” For me the play is all about the love for something (change, companionship, art, work, etc.) that humanity struggles for, and that ultimately is that “stolen” aspect of who and what we are as individuals. It is Cruz’s words, characters, and the relationship that these characters have with the story Anna Karenina that is the catalyst for their love. It is a political love, a self-love, a love of someone else, and a love for change that drives these characters to create their own endings. Cruz remarked in one of his interviews that, “Cuba has changed tremendously. I have changed, too. I guess sometimes I fear what the impact of going back would be on me.” This is a perfect example of each character in the play. Conceptually, change is ultimately the downfall or co-requisite to the love that these characters emote internally and externally. It becomes the underlying motivation for the story (i.e. the introduction of the cigar roller versus the work of the individual, the fact that “lectores” were removed from factories in 1931, and Conchita’s need to be loved physically versus watching her husband have what she does not). In evoking the lost Cuban-American world of Ybor, Florida cigar factory in the late 1920’s, I want to create a production that is as “novela-like” as the emotions and tribulations as its characters.
