More than six decades have elapsed since the post-war stirrings that oozed from the primordial swamp of American southern hillbilly boogie, country and western, race music, and rhythm and blues – a gumbo stew that grabbed musicians and singers by the scruff of the neck, and led them kicking and screaming through the birth of rock and roll. There are Great Man Theories and Big Bang Theories that perennially try to pinpoint the fountainhead from which it all sprang loose. Yet it always come back to Memphis, and always come back to one man: The King Of Rock And Roll.
Elvis Aron Presley, born January 8, 1935, died August 16, 1977, age 42. In commemoration of the 75th anniversary of Elvis’ birth – to be celebrated on January 8, 2010 – comes the first four-CD deluxe box set collection ever to provide the definitive overview of his entire recording career. ELVIS 75: GOOD ROCKIN’ TONIGHT, produced by long-time Elvis chronicler and biographer Ernst Mikael Jørgensen, will be available at all physical and digital retail outlets starting December 8, 2009, through RCA/Legacy, a division of SONY MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT.
ELVIS 75: GOOD ROCKIN’ TONIGHT presents 100 songs, a broad collection of hit singles, deep album tracks, live performances, and rarities. The tracks appear in strict chronological order of recording dates over the course of Disc 1 (1953-1957), Disc 2 (1958-1962), Disc 3 (1963-1969), and Disc 4 (1970-1977). They range from the first demo acetate that Elvis made at the Memphis Recording Service of Sun Records as a gift for his mother in 1953 (“My Happiness”), to a sampling of Sun Records sides produced by Sam Phillips in 1954-55 (“That’s All Right,” “Blue Moon Of Kentucky,” “Good Rockin’ Tonight,” and more), through 21 and a half years of RCA tracks, from 1956 to 1977.
[The 100th track on the box set is the JXL Radio Remix Edit created in 2002, for “A Little Less Conversation,” originally a 1968 single (written by Billy Strange and Mac Davis). The remix was done by Dutch musician-producer Tom Holkenborg aka Junkie XL (JXL, the XL stands for Xpanding Limits). It was commissioned for Nike’s World Cup ad campaign, and was commercially released in Europe as “Elvis vs. JXL.” It went on to hit #1 in the UK, Australia, and more than 20 countries worldwide. In the U.S., the CD single rose to #1 on the new Hot 100 Singles Sales chart. It later became the opening theme for tv’s Las Vegas series, starring James Caan on NBC.]
On January 5, 2010, RCA/Legacy will release a 26-track single CD titled ELVIS 75, featuring selections from the box set. As the year continues, RCA/Legacy will unveil a full slate of Elvis Presley catalog title reissues and compilations. (In July 2009, RCA/Legacy released a special expanded 40th anniversary Legacy Edition of 1969’s From Elvis In Memphis, his legendary sessions at Chip Moman’s American Studios that yielded the comeback hit singles “In the Ghetto,” “Suspicious Minds,” “Don’t Cry Daddy” and “Kentucky Rain.”)
Adding to the historical impact of ELVIS 75: GOOD ROCKIN’ TONIGHT is the 80-page full-color booklet included in the box set. In addition to rare photography and memorabilia, the booklet will include a 7,000-word biographical essay written by Billy Altman, an award-winning music critic, journalist, historian, and educator, whose work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times, Rolling Stone, Esquire, and People magazines. The Grammy®-nominated writer is the recipient of the ASCAP-Deems Taylor Award for music journalism.
The release of ELVIS 75: GOOD ROCKIN’ TONIGHT coincides with a 4-day celebration of his 75th birthday, January 7-10th, centered at the Graceland estate, outside of Memphis. In addition to the annual birthday proclamation ceremony on the front lawn of Graceland, events will include parties, dances, and panel discussions.

From the moment in early 1956 when Elvis’ first string of hits on RCA Victor proclaimed his arrival on the old ‘Top 100’ – “Heartbreak Hotel,” “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Hound Dog,” “Don't Be Cruel,” “Love Me Tender” – there were 17 chart titles in 1956 alone – his hammerlock on rock and roll was unquestioned, his influence on the destiny of all popular music about to be engraved in stone. Even after the Beatles’ conquest started in 1964, and the revolution of Bob Dylan in 1965, Elvis continued his reign on the charts, slotting nearly four dozen songs on the Hot 100 from 1964 to 1969.
The phenomenal chart statistics accumulated by Elvis come alive on this box set. As compiled by Joel Whitburn, Elvis is the top-ranked Hot 100 male artist (by far!) of the 1950s and ’60s – and the only act (male, female, or group) ever to be top-ranked #1 for two separate decades. Elvis holds unassailable records for the Most Chart Hits (151), Most Top 40 Hits (104), Most RIAA Platinum Hits (28), Most RIAA Gold Hits (24), and Most Weeks Charted (1,598).
In Jørgensen’s book Elvis Presley: A Life In Music (St. Martin’s Press, 1998), his indispensable guide to The Complete Recording Sessions (as the book is subtitled), the author concludes his text by reflecting on the success of RCA’s groundbreaking 1992 box set, The King Of Rock ’N’ Roll: The Complete ’50s Masters:
By that time, in our worldwide culture, the name Elvis Presley had become its own definition, requiring no other point of reference, embodying all the contradictions, all the anomalies, and all the beauty that his music at its best had achieved. “We will never agree on anything as we agreed on Elvis,” declared writer Lester Bangs with the doleful romanticism of a 27-year old when he heard the news of the death. And what we agreed on most was his music.

Virgin Mobile FreeFest "All Access" documentary to be screened and benefit homeless youth
Leading up to the world premier of its “ALL Access” documentary <http://www.allaccessdocs.com> , Kyocera Communications Inc. <http://www.kyocera-wireless.com> is working with Virgin Mobile USA <http://www.virginmobileusa.com> and the Independent Film Channel (IFC) <http://www.ifc.com> to give music fans a sneak peek at the revealing film about one of America’s leading music festivals. The documentary, which was created entirely by a team of 14 aspiring filmmakers between 16 and 22 years old, gives a behind-the-scenes look at the 2009 Virgin Mobile FreeFest <http://www.virginmobilefestival.com/> .
Carefully balancing the raw energy of the music with the event’s underlying theme of helping homeless youth, the film features concert footage and interviews with Weezer, Franz Ferdinand, the founders of Public Enemy, Taking Back Sunday and Blink-182 frontman Tom DeLonge.
From Nov. 10 through Dec. 14, IFC will showcase the documentary for its 7 million viewers in a series of six weekly vignettes airing every Tuesday night. The vignettes also will be available for viewing at www.billboard.com and www.heavy.com
Additionally, Kyocera will pre-screen the full “ALL Access” documentary for the first time at a Nov. 18 concert benefiting homeless youth, hosted by Virgin Mobile USA and Public Enemy. November is National Homeless Youth Awareness Month <http://web.virginmobileusa.com/life/regeneration-nhyam> and proceeds from the event, taking place in Washington, D.C. at George Washington University’s Lisner Auditorium, will benefit Sasha Bruce House <http://www.sashabruce.org/> , a non-profit shelter for homeless youth in Washington, D.C.
“The 14 filmmakers who created ‘ALL Access’ were chosen from thousands of applicants because of their passion and artistic vision, both of which shine through in this documentary,” said Tom Maguire, head of global marketing at Kyocera Communications Inc. “We’re grateful that IFC is supporting these young artists by bringing their work to millions of people, and proud that the film’s first full-length screening will be to benefit homeless youth.”

Hypernova signs with Narnack Records
When HYPERNOVA left their home country of Iran for the brighter pastures of the U.S., their mission was twofold: for freedom in their own personal universe and for freedom to create Western-style music without the threat of public flogging or other harsh punishments (which is tantamount in their home country).
In the process of assimilating to this newfound liberation, they created Through the Chaos, an album rife with the poetry of their struggle and filled with optimism for their future. Understanding the band's direction, Los Angeles-based indie label NARNACK RECORDS joined in the crusade and will be officially releasing Through the Chaos in March 2010.
"Narnack are an indie label in the truest sense," explains vocalist Raam about the band's new home. "They were the only label that made us feel like family. We are very passionate about the work we do, so it's very important for us to personally connect with the people that we are working with."
"Hypernova is more than just a band," adds Shahin M. Ewalt, Narnack President and CEO. "The band's music has the force of a movement I can’t quite describe, but I know it is something that invokes raw power, the kind that inspires people, bringing some sort of commonality, rather than the individualistic constraints which sometimes can confine the creativity and good will, that all of us have within ourselves."
That raw power has been hinted at and glimpsed by the thousands of audience members who have either seen Hypernova on tour with Sisters of Mercy or IAMX, at SxSW, or on their countless shows on both coasts of the U.S. Early features and reviews have afforded the band attention in ABC News, NPR, Wired, CNN, LA Times, Fox News, Entertainment Weekly, Playboy, Reuters, NY Times, Time Magazine, MTV, and Anthem Magazine, among many others.
From the eerily chiming intro of "Universal" to the airy Psychedelic Furs-esque levity of "Lost in Space" to the fierce dance-rock of the first single "Fairy Tales", Hypernova's debut album is an homage to their love of Western music, seen through the eyes of a band who risked life and liberty for their chance at the American Dream.
"There are a number of things that we touch upon in this album, whether it be social and political themes or just songs about love," he explains, "but mostly the songs are about our own lives and all the stuff we've been through to make it here to the States. From the first track to the last, the album tells the story of our lives."
Originally founded in NYC and Brooklyn's underground music scene in 2002, Narnack Records fostered an independent environment that helped develop many new artists, such as Friends of Dead Martinez, Coachwhips, Iran and Langhorne Slim, as well as helped nurture many important and legendary acts, like The Fall and The Slits. In 2008, dub and reggae legend Lee "Scratch" Perry brought Narnack its first Grammy nomination. Over Narnack’s eight year history, it has become much more than anticipated, continuing its originality, dedication and love for all that comes to define it, and for what it has defined.
Hypernova's debut album Through the Chaos was produced by Herwig Maurer and mixed by Sean Beavan (Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt, Marilyn Manson) and will be released on Narnack Records in March 2010. The first single "Fairy Tales" will be released in early 2010.

Second annual Revival Tour is on the road
The second annual REVIVAL TOUR 2009--a nationwide trek founded by Chuck Ragan, the singer/songwriter/guitarist and Hot Water Music co-frontman--is set to launch October 13 in Louisville and wrap November 21 in St. Petersburg. Drawing from a diverse group of established musicians in indie Americana, rock, punk, Irish folk, Cajun, zydeco and blues, THE REVIVAL TOUR will take the band of traveling musicians through 32 U.S. cities including New York City, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, Chicago, Minneapolis, Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, San Diego, Austin, Dallas, Atlanta and many more. In traditional revival fashion, once the music starts, this new guard of young, genre-defying, musicians keep it rolling, teaming in and out through each others’ sets until the final farewell of the night.
THE REVIVAL TOUR 2009 will include: CHUCK RAGAN (of Hot Water Music), Jim Ward (of Sparta and Sleepercar), Kevin Seconds (Nov. 3-5 only), Frank Turner, Tim Barry (of Avail), Dave Hause (of The Loved Ones), Jenny Owen Youngs, Possessed by Paul James, Jon Snodgrass and Chad Price (of Drag The River), Joey Cape (of Lagwagon), Bob Lucas, Austin Lucas, Audra Mae, Tom Cook, Steven Brodsky (of Cave In), Water Tower Bucket Boys, Anderson Family Bluegrass Band, members of The Zydepunks performing acoustic, Jon Gaunt (of Whiskey & Co) on fiddle, Digger Barnes on the upright bass and more.
Last year’s inaugural REVIVAL TOUR featured Tim Barry of Avail, Ben Nichols of Lucero, Tom Gabel of Against Me! and Jesse Malin, among many others.
“As artists we go on tour together and then in the final days of the tour--after everyone is familiar with one another--you’re playing songs with your tour-mates and having a blast,” states founder CHUCK RAGAN. “I thought, why can’t we get together, rehearse before the tour starts and perform together during the entire tour?”
RAGAN says of his inspiration for THE REVIVAL TOUR.
“Some of our set for that night’s show is chosen in advance, but everything else evolves organically onstage,” he elaborates. “It’s truly one of the most special tours I’ve ever been a part of.”
Likewise, Jim Ward adds, “It's a real joy to be included on the revival tour this year. The idea of going on the road with some old friends and some soon-to-be friends, learning new songs, playing my songs with other folks is just a dream, to be honest. If you could add up the collective years on the road between the lot of us, and mix in the stories to be told, as well as the stories that will be made, it just seems almost overwhelming, almost too good to be true--I seriously cannot wait.”
British folkster Frank Turner, who will take a second turn on the trek, adds, "I did a few dates on Revival last year and I can honestly say, it was closer to my vision of how a music tour should be than any other I've ever been part of, as well as involving medically inadvisable levels of fun. Can't wait to get involved again this year."

About Chuck Ragan:
Singer/songwriter/guitarist CHUCK RAGAN was one of the lead singers of the punk rock band Hot Water Music. In 2006, RAGAN launched his solo career and has released a series of 7-inches on No Idea Records, a live album and a studio album on SideOneDummy Records. Early accolades in the press are appearing for RAGAN’s new album Gold Country -- his second studio album -- out September 1 on SideOneDummy Records (CD and digitally) and on vinyl via Ten Four Records: Relix ("…Gold Country is a striking collection of songs that show how much Ragan has progressed since his 2007 debut, Feast Or Famine."), Absolutepunk.net ("For Hot Water Music fans, half the excitement is just getting used to that voice in this context. But you don’t need to have grown up with Hot Water Music to appreciate these simple, beautiful tunes.") and Sonic Dissonance ("Gold Country contains all the pieces of a hit country-western record --think Nelson, Haggard or Cash--with Ragan's rock perspective and most importantly, the timeliness of being written in 2009 when everything matters as this green earth we inhabit veers toward an unknown chaos.")
Several new tracks from Gold Country can be heard now via RAGAN’s website

The Suicide Commandos honored in Minneapolis
Newly Re-elected Mayor R.T. Rybak to Proclaim” Suicide Commandos Day” Nov.7
INFLUENTIAL ‘70s “PUNK BAND” PAVED WAY FOR OTHER BANDS AND THE TWIN CITIES MUSIC SCENE; GROUP MEMBERS STILL CREATING MUSIC OPPORTUNITIES AT MCNALLY SMITH COLLEGE OF MUSIC AND OTHER PLACES
WHO: The legendary punk rock trio, The Suicide Commandos, will be honored for their pioneering work November 7, 2009, when newly re-elected Minneapolis Mayor, R.T. Rybak, will proclaim “Suicide Commandos Day” this Saturday.
WHAT: The Suicide Commandos, like other rock bands of the late ‘70s such as The Ramones in New York and other “punk bands” like The Sex Pistols in England, helped shape a rock ‘n roll renaissance by peeling back to the basics with a swell sense of humor and rock history.
As noted in the proclamation, Whereas, in the words of “indie” music industry shaker and mover, Peter Jesperson at New West Records in LA, “The Suicide Commandos are THE Granddaddy’s of the Minneapolis/St. Paul music scene that later bred The Suburbs, Husker Du, The Replacements, Soul Asylum and The Jayhawks.”
Whereas The Suicide Commandos put the Minneapolis Music scene on the map; and
Whereas The Suicide Commandos carved a path where there was none before. Many of the Minneapolis bands that went onto big success may not have done so without the Commandos having done so; and…
WHEN/
WHERE: The band will reunite for two special “10 and Under” shows at the Walker Arts Center at 10:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. (1750 Hennepin Ave., Mpls) and a late acoustic set at The Dakota (1010 Nicollett Mall, Mpls.) that night at 11:00 p.m..
WHY: All three band members are still involved in making music and paving the way for others: Guitarist Chris Osgood is currently Vice President of Organizational Development at McNally Smith College of Music; drummer Dave Ahl is one of the primary builders of recording studies in the area; and bassist Steve Almaas, residing in New York where he is a school teacher, has been giving music lessons to aspiring rockers for years while also playing in other bands.
More
Background: The band Recorded for Phonogram and Twin/Tone Records 1977-80. The Commandos were re-released on Mercury Records, August 1996 and were inducted into the Minnesota Rock and Country Hall of Fame in May, 2006. Pioneer Rock videographer Chuck Statler’s video of Chris’ song, “Burn It Down,” was screened at New York’s Museum of Modern Art in November, 2006. The Suicide Commandos were released on iTunes Island Def Jam and iTunes Twin/Tone in 2007.

WHERE: Downtown Los Angeles, 5th & Main and surrounding area.
COST: The Art Walk is always free, including Walking Tours, Spring Arcade performances and Salons.
INFO: http://www.downtownartwalk.com or (213) 784-2598.
The Downtown Los Angeles Art Walk, held on the second Thursday of the month year round, is one of the great success stories of the neighborhood's revival. Launched in September 2004 by a small group of true believers in what was then the western edge of Skid Row, the event now draws upwards of 10,000 art enthusiasts, and includes live music, a thriving bar and restaurant scene, literary events, impromptu performances, and of course art on view in dozens of galleries.
On November 12, 2009, Art Walk hosts its second-to-last event of the year, with the cooler temperatures encouraging visitors to bundle up and spend more time exploring the 40 toasty galleries that dot the Art Walk map. It's a great time to come downtown and see what all the buzz is about, take a walking tour or sit in on a cultural Salon gathering.
For the November 12 Art Walk, there are a number of special events in the works, including numerous free guided walking tours (reservations required), two conversational salons at Clifton's Cafeteria (Stephen Cooper on downtown novelist JOHN FANTE; and Tom De Simone and Melissa Lopez leading a discussion on LAVENDER L.A., the lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender history of the neighborhood), and experimental performances in the SPRING ARCADE building (a passage leading from Broadway to Spring, between 5th and 6th Streets).
Please note: the free HIPPODROME shuttle is no longer running at the ArtWalk, due to the withdrawal of funding from the Downtown Los Angeles Neighborhood Council. Stay tuned for revived shuttle news in 2010.

SALONS AT CLIFTON'S CAFETERIA: Come sit in on one or two cultural conversations. Info http://www.downtownartwalk.com/salon
SALON #1 (5:30pm-7:00pm): Biographer and professor STEPHEN COOPER invites you to join him in a free wheeling conversation about the quintessential L.A.author, JOHN FANTE, soon be honored with the designation of a square in his honor outside the Central Library. Fante's 1939 novel "Ask the Dust" remains the most passionate love letter ever addressed to the City of the Angels. Although Fante spent most of his career scripting Hollywood movies that he hated, he has been called the father of the Los Angeles novel and the patron saint of L.A. writers. What would his fictional alter-ego, the inimitable Arturo Bandini, say about that? Come with your own questions and see where they lead.
SALON #2 (5:30pm-7:00pm): Cultural activists Tom De Simone and Melissa Lopez host LAVENDER LOS ANGELES, a discussion about the emergence of L.A.'s Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender community circa 1950. As the end of America's frontier, the city attracted all walks of life seeking freedom and reinvention. Come explore such questions as: How did the modern movement form in LA? What are some of the highlights of this history? Why did it happen here? Where is this history recorded? Learn how the "LAvender Los Angeles" exhibit (on display Nov. 8 - 20 at 114 W. 5th Street) was produced,and share your LA LGBT history.
