222 Premiere Video For New Single "One Night Stand"

Sometimes a girl can only take so much and drastic actions prove fatal. That is the underlining theme behind the new single/video "One Night Stand," by L.A. alternative rock duo 222. The single / video is off the band's debut album Libretto and chronicles the tale of a one night stand leading to a guy stalking the girl until One Night when she decides to take a Stand for herself by killing him and burying him under her house. The video shows her secret might be out when a friend comes over to visit and the girl thinks she hears what she thought she got rid of. See video here: (http://bit.ly/1KLQZmp)

"One Night Stand" has enjoyed success on Rodney Bingenheimer's legendary radio show "Rodney on the Roq" and is currently being played on college and alternative stations radio across the country. The band is performing select dates this fall to support the release. Dates to be announced. (www.222band.com)

222 is Jade Howard and Dennis Hamlin. The duo wrote, played all the instruments, and recorded the songs on Libretto themselves in their home studio with the only other credit on the album going to Frank Rosato who mixed the record. Howard and Hamlin are both prolific songwriters drawing their musical influences from books, movies and life experiences."One Night Stand" is loosely based on the Edgar Allen Poe story the Tell Tale Heart. The collection of songs on Libretto play much like an opera in that every song is a story. Yet don't let the opera reference fool you, the album is a collection of pop punk / 80s/90s influenced rock mixed with current techno influences that together deliver 222's own power packed take on dance rock. Listen to Libretto here: (http://www.222band.com/music/)

"One Night Stand" and Libretto are available on iTunes, and Amazon.

Missing Link Music Signs Interscope Recording Artists Far East Movement

Missing Link Music has signed renowned Interscope recording artists Far East Movement to a worldwide administration deal. Dominating the Billboard 200 with two consecutive albums "Free Wired" and "Dirty Bass," Far East Movement have produced massively successful hits such as, "Like a G6," "Dirty Bass," and "Rocketeer."

The single "Like a G6", featuring singer Dev, hit Number One on both the Billboard Hot 100 Chart and on iTunes in late October 2010, making them the first Asian-American group to earn a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. In addition, their song "Round Round" was featured in the 2006 film "The Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift," and its subsequent soundtrack, video game and DVD.

Since "Round Round", the group has been featured on various network shows including "CSI: Miami", "CSI: NY", "Entourage", "Gossip Girl", and "Finishing the Game" (a featured film at Sundance 2007).

FEM members Kevin Nishimura (Kev Nish), James Roh (Prohgress), Jae Choung (J-Splif) and LA's radio station Power 106 DJ, Coquia Virman (DJ Virman) say that Far East Movement is a product of late night music and parking lot free-styles at various clubs in Koreatown, L.A.

"We felt we needed to bring the sound home, so we took almost a month off from touring and went out every night to karaoke rooms and bars and just lived," recalls Kev Nish.

The result is a return to their roots and a re-invention. If the best rap is often regional, FEM captures the sonic diversity of one of the biggest melting pots in North America.

Missing Link is honored and excited to include FEM in its increasingly diverse catalogue of music. …………………………………………………..

New book on music market contestability from global publisher Palgrave Macmillan: The Pop Music idol and the Spirit of Charisma

Trajce Cvetkovski makes a case for the synergetic union between reality TV and the music industry. The author delves into technological change in popular music, and the role of music reality TV and social media in the pop production process. He challenges the current scholarship which does not adequately distinguish the economic significance of these developments.

The Pop Music Idol and the Spirit of Charisma is concerned with the political economy of the music industry. The sale of recorded music resides in a contestable digital landscape as the centralised industry organisational model is no longer viable. This century of streaming, downloading and social networking is vastly different to the previous century where the only formats on offer were provided by the music majors along with a strict set of terms. In this decentralised environment, the majors have desperately set out to seek commercial synergies as emerging technologies bring new threats. One of the positive outcomes for the majors in this shake-up has been the union with music reality TV. Music contests such as Idol, X Factor, and The Voice have become the rainmaking dream machines in a pop cultural marketplace. The majors have, for the time being, a successful business model for re-organisation. This book is a call for further examination of this specialised form of reality TV.

He has come a long way since he pioneered the painting of freeway overpasses, signs and billboards, dubbed "heavens." Although RISK loves aerosol art, he sees it as merely just one genre in his life's work. From his days as a student at the USC School of Fine Arts togallery and museum showings around the world; RISK has transformed from a street artist to a respected icon in the contemporary art world.

RISK recently released a 350 page retrospective book "Old Habits Die Hard" via Detroit based publisher 1xRUN.

They also co-own and partner in several media companies and independent record labels distributed by Universal / INgrooves Music and Sony Music including Suburban Noize Records, Battle Axe Records, Island Empire Records, and The Empire Agency; an international talent agency.

Howard Spunt, a resident of Malibu, is a real estate entrepreneur with almost 30-years in the shopping center industry. Spunt who is also an artist, discovered his passion for art when he stumbled into a small art store while wandering through Europe. Last year Spunt opened an art gallery in the artsy, urban neighborhood around Pico and 32nd street in Santa Monica. The gallery will be expanded and become the new home of Buckshot.

Spunt's community involvement includes serving on the board of the Chase Foundation and on Pepperdine University's Microenterprise Advisory Board.

Spunt is excited to be part of this great team be able to combine his passion for art and his experience as an entrepreneur to create an online mecca and portal for artists and like-minded individuals which will be supported by a physical gallery space for tastemakers, artists, and collectors to meet on a common ground.

Bryan Spunt is a Malibu resident and recent graduate from the University of Colorado at Boulder Leeds School of Business. He is a passionate leader and entrepreneur with experience in brand management, retail distribution, and web sales. In 2014 Bryan helped launch an innovative consumer product called PopSockets; he now sits on the advisory board as a shareholder.

Cinematica Duo Colourz Explore Mystical Forces with New Track "Orenda"

Canadian progressive house duo Colourz have released their latest track, "Orenda". Orenda is described as a mystical and magical driving force inherent to nature, people, and their environment, a force whose intensity can change the world around you.

Echoing the dizzying synth loops of their previous release "Nemodom", "Orenda" melds them with slick, cerebral melodies that promise to entrance. The track opens with orchestral beauty. Sweeping pads, sublime strings, and a subtle bass crawl towards an anthemic progressive house vibe which slides back and forth between ambient breakdowns and fired up drops throughout the track. The song can be heard at: http://lnk.to/Orenda

Colourz is composed of Taylin Simmonds and Jared Waldroff, based in Kelowna, British Columbia. "Orenda" is Colourz's fifth release, following their other releases over the summer on Blue Label Records, a record label with the goal of bringing new, innovative music to the masses, also based in Kelowna.
