West Coast electronic duo T.H.E.M. is back with a new album, "Bang" (Electrovenus Records), and a new management affiliation.
Effective immediately, T.H.E.M.--Christiana Eastman and Justin Nylander--is being managed by Denis Ingoldsby.
Through the years, Ingoldsby--along with his 1st Avenue Management and Records partner Oliver Smallman--has been instrumental in the hit-making
careers of Eternal, Louise, Dina Carroll and others.
Eighteen months ago, Ingoldsby opened the doors to Appleby Music, a publishing company. He represents such producers and songwriters as Rhett Lawrence
(Kelly Clarkson) and Sergey Galoyan (T.a.t.u.), among others.
With such a proven track record, Ingoldsby should, with luck, endear T.H.E.M. to the global music community. And quite honestly, Ingoldsby could not
be joining T.H.E.M. at a better time.
Infused with elements of rock, electro, funk and pop, the new album, "Bang," shows great artistic and creative growth for the twosome.
It is the type of recording that has what it takes to be embraced by fans of the Rapture, Ima Robot and Junior Senior.
Tracks like the buoyant "There Goes My Heart Again," a groovy cover of Bananarama's "The Wild Life" and punked-up lead single
"Let Me See Your Underwear" could, if properly marketed and promoted, easily make the transition from dancefloors to radio airwaves, from
iPods to Madison Avenue.
"It is such an honor and a thrill to be working with Denis," Nylander says. "With Denis, we get years of wisdom and expertise."
SEDUCE ME: In 1989, producers Robert Clivilles and the late David Cole assembled Seduction, a female trio comprising April Harris, Michelle Visage and
Idalis Leon. One year later, Leon left: she was replaced by Sinoa Loren.
Signed to Vendetta Records, the group released one album, "Nothing Matters Without Love." The disc spawned a handful of top 20 pop hits,
including "Could This Be Love" and "Two to Make It Right." The latter peaked at No. 2 on The Billboard Hot 100.
The group disbanded in the early '90s. Today, Harris is back with her own label (AVH Entertainment, distributed by Jenstar) and a newly revamped
Seduction. Joining her are Stephanie and Venus.
The newly designed act's debut single, a cover of Mary Jane Girls' "All Night Long," has already charted on four Billboard charts,
including Hot 100 Singles Sales and Hot Dance Singles Sales.
Harris tells Beat Box that an album is near completion. New song "Feel Brand New" is a hook-laden dance/pop/R&B jam. So delicious is
this track that we can already hear it in the clubs and on the radio. A video, please.
TRACK OF THE WEEK: "Shake Your Coconuts" by Danish duo Junior Senior. Currently being heard in cinemas nationwide--thanks to its inclusion
in the film "Looney Tunes: Back in Action"--the Crunchy Frog/Atlantic single includes funky disco-rock rerubs by DFA and Djosos Krost.

No it's me that's not sure what's going on lomax….I’m sure of that!
Here is the break down:
1) The ever growing fan base of Ima Robot
2) Relates the current size of the Ima Robot fan population
3) Which in this reviewers eyes, believes is adequate enough to embrace new acts; such as T.H.E.M.
I just got a kick out of the fans of Ima Robot will like this....statement
Ima Robot still needs more and more and more fans, but yet the fan base is already being pegged as an influential source for upcoming acts. It really
speaks to the power of Ima Robot.
Makes more sense now? If not, you're mind may be in better shape then mine. I'm OD'ing on muscle relaxe’rs right now do to a bunk
back.

I remember watching TV Land all day after I had my wisdom teeth pulled on muscle relaxers. Oh, what joy! "I Dream of Jeanie",
"Bewitched", and "Brady Bunch" brought me back to my childhood. I love when Sabrina (Samanta's evil cousin) comes to visit,
dressed all groovy, singing and stuff. But my fav is Jeanie! Ah, to be her would be awesome!! (One of my fantasies)

Yes..I wanted to be Jeanie when I was a kid, too..Her bottle looked so comfy inside! Then I saw her at this restaurant and realized she was just a
normal person..Don't get me wrong, she was sweet as pie (my uncle knew the owner of the restaurant and arranged for us to meet her) and beautiful
in person, but a little part of me died that day..
My memory of muscle relaxers is hanging with my friend, who had gotten into a bad enough accident that they prescribed some heavy pain killers to him,
and just laying on his bed all loopy and listening to Pink Floyd..Damn kids..  :D
Huzzah!!

Back to the topic........I don't quite understand it either. I guess that's why we all went off of the subject to muscle relaxers and I
Dream of Jeanie.
