Philosophical street-scholar Neen, from Trash Gallery, get's quoted on Michael Monroe, and Demolition 23

Gothic sleaze-punk alchemists, Trash Gallery, are led by a philosophical street-scholar, Neen, who sagely, imparted the following: “When I got word about Mike starting this band Demolition 23, I was waiting with baited-breath, because at that time, we were slapped in the face by grunge, and it’s “fashion sense”, or lack there of…Then, when it couldn’t get any worse, the metal guys got confused and started donning “grunge attire” and mixing funk with rock. Think of a very bad Chilli’s…What comes to mind really is UGLY KID JOE...Sorry for the rant, but I had to get that off my chest….Demolition 23, finally, made it to my cd player, and I thought to myself, this might have been Hanoi getting rougher and tougher…What I realized, was that Mike was a Real Rock n Roll Jihadist….He declared a Holy War on the enemies of Rock n Roll…..Didn’t care if anyone saluted it, Stateside….He did it for what he believed in…He truly lives and breathes ROCK N ROLL….I may be leaving out some important icons, but Little Richard and Jerry Lee Lewis come to mind…Not to mention Keith…Man, I can’t make it any simpler: May the Universe support and smile upon his every move.”

“Eddie” for a Finnish Metal Band!

A Finnish Metal Band called Payload has been around for about three years and has released a of couple discs. The band members have decided to find a graphic artist who has a distinctive personal approach and style to get the future releases and material more unified. The band has also talked about a mascot, much like Iron Maiden has "Eddie", Disturbed has "The Thing" and Megadeth has "Vic".

This mascot is not however the most important thing. What Payload is looking for is a graphic artist / designer who can and will be able to have its own distinctive and recognizable style, such as , Pushead for Metallica, and must not price him/herself out of the competition. In the future, the band will want shirts, cover art, stage backdrops, promo material, posters etc from the artist. The band doesn't want to use vector graphics found from image banks already used for hundreds of other products. So if you know how, or know someone that knows how to make stylish figures and skulls and other general Metal-genre stuff, contact the band.

Additional information from the band can be found from the band's official website.

There are also samples of music, if you're interested to listen to what kind of music they are about.

Contact the band with the portfolios (a link to work samples) to this email address

The album also got recognition in Sweden, where the 2nd single "All Fours" was voted on top three on the Swedish National Radio "Finska Pinnar" chart for ten weeks in a row.

The same single was provided as a free download at the website of the largest Finnish TV-channel, MTV3, where it was download by more than 6000 individuals. The 1st single "In This Life" had the highest entry on the Finnish single chart at position 4. The band also filmed a music video of "All Fours".

This short and sweet co-headlining tour is the ideal way to round off a very successful extended touring period around the 'Back In Blood' album before heading back into the studio later this year and what makes this tour more than perfect is another legendary Swedish sleaze act Crashdïet joining the bill.

Sad News from camp NGS!

Dazzle, who joined on Bass over a year ago, will play his last gig with NGS on the 11th March in Leicester. It has been a pleasure to have Daz in the NGS family and to have contributed to some killer gigs and fun times. I know the rest of the band are gutted, but fully support Dazzle's decision. In his own words; "It is with a heavy heart that I announce my departure from New Generation Superstars. Over the last couple of months I’ve felt my commitment to the band slip and would rather step down and let someone else to keep the torch burning than hold the guys back from the amazing plans they have coming up this year. There’s never been an ounce of bad blood between us and the boys have been very supportive of my decision. I’ve had a great time in NGS and wish the boys all the best for the future. We are going to stay good friends and I will remain a close supporter of the band, which means I may still be found occasionally knocking around the merch stand or propping up the bar. However this isn’t the end for Dazzle Rebel in Rock’n’Roll, not by a long stretch, once it’s in your blood you’d need a full claret transplant to get rid of it! I’ll just be taking it all at a more leisurely pace. I’d like to thank the New Gen fans for being amazing and supporting my transition into the band. It’s been a thrill to know such a dedicated and crazy bunch of people.

Dazzle"

Dazzle will still contribute to the band in other ways, and will very much remain a part of the NGS Family. Come down and say goodbye at his remaining gigs. Lets give him a send off deserved of a rock n roll hero! On behalf of the guys and myself, we wish Daz all the best, and a big thank you for his contribution to the band.

Never fear, gigs after March 11th will be covered by bass monster Berty Burton and work will continue on album III in the near future.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MORTIIS READIES FOR FULL EUROPEAN WINTER TOUR WITH COMBICHRIST

OSLO, Norway - Mortiis will return to the touring circuit this winter with a two-month, full European tour supporting evil-electro outfit Combichrist.

"In some fundamental ways, Combichrist and Mortiis are very different, but in other fundamental ways, we are very much the same," explained vocalist and namesake Mortiis. "At the end of the day, both bands have this 'f-you' attitude. It's expressed somewhat differently musically, but energy and attitude-wise we're carrying the same torch, so to speak. I think fans of both bands will pick up on that."

Mortiis took a break from touring while preparing their latest releases, the soon-to-emerge next album, "the Great Deceiver" and "Perfectly Defect," a totally free digital download. Unveiled October 10, "Perfectly Defect" is full-length, downloadable album available at their official website. "Perfectly Defect" is the quintessential prelude to the world of "The Great Deceiver" - while the latter is heavier and darker, the former is varied, experimental, and largely instrumental. The bottom line is that "Perfectly Defect" leads into "The Great Deceiver" acting as a crucial stage in the evolution of Mortiis' music.

The group is anxious to get back on stage and is ready to unleash months of pent-up aggression during their live show. Fans can expect to hear tracks from "Perfectly Defect" and "The Great Deceiver," as well as some older songs with a different twist.

"We've seriously pimped up a selection of older songs that we'll be performing," Mortiis said. "So, across the board, it will be a new, and for lack of a better expression, very 'pimped up' bunch of songs!"

A tour with Combichrist was imminent. Aside from having a long acquaintance with Combichrist's founder and Norwegian-native Andy LaPlegua, drummer Joe Letz is an extended member of the Mortiis family. After connecting with Letz during Mortiis' US tour with the Genitorturers - Letz's former band - the drummer got involved with Mortiis on some of the recording of "The Great Deceiver."

"It was just a question of time until we'd go out on tour together again," Mortiis said. "Joe is still a part of this band, the way we all see it. We always have a great time when we're together and I think this is something everyone's been wanting to happen for a while now. So when the opportunity came about, we pretty much did what had to be done to make it happen."

I am proud to announce a new addition to Trash Staff! Chad Bergersen from Australia will be doing CD reviews for Mama Trash Promotions, Inc. Stay tuned for the first review this month! I welcome him to the family and look forward to his reviews of MTFA and beyond!

"A year since debuting for Australia’s leading hard rock/heavy metal website, VoltageMedia, for whom I covered artists from all genres from around the globe including everything from Acey Slade and the Dark Party to Machine Head, I had my first printed work on sale in September 2010 through Inked Australia/NZ (tattoo magazine), where I managed to pull some strings and get both Acey Slade and Sunset Riot into the public eye of the alternative scene in Australia.
My fascination with music has lead me to various stages in the business and this has resulted in requests from numerous websites, musicians and others artists from around the world. After just over a year in this field, all my writing is now based overseas, both with Mama Trash Promotions and TrashPit Records.

As a journalist I’ve tried my hand at everything I could get my hands on, in order to find what best suited my style of writing. And this has brought me to where I am today. I listen to everything from goth/industrial to pop/punk music (and everything in between), so inevitably I was drawn to the diverse range on offer here at Mama Trash Promotions, little did I think I would fall in love with the label and every artist on the roster here. I’m eternally grateful to have the opportunity to write for Mama Trash, and I hope you all enjoy what I have to offer.

-Chad"

MORTIIS’ ‘PERFECTLY DEFECT’: PERFECTLY FREE!

OSLO, Norway – Mortiis returns to satiate fans’ desire for new music this October 10 with “Perfectly Defect,” a completely free, full-length, downloadable album.

“Putting ‘Perfectly Defect’ out as a free download was a decision we made after some consideration,” said the band’s namesake Mortiis. “The new model of the music business is important to keep in mind; there is a new mentality out there in terms of how people acquire their music now. For better or worse, music seems to have become a medium a lot of people aren´t prepared to pay for in the old fashioned way. So, we paid to record it out of our own pockets ‘cos we thought it would be a really cool gift to our fans that have been waiting around for ages for something new to come out.”

Mortiis has spent much of the past couple years writing and recording “The Great Deceiver,” the long-awaited follow-up to 2004’s full-length “The Grudge” and the 2007 remix album, “Some Kind of Heroin.” “Perfectly Defect” is the quintessential prelude to the world of “The Great Deceiver” – while the latter is heavier and darker, the former is varied, experimental, and largely instrumental. The bottom line is that “Perfectly Defect” leads into “The Great Deceiver” acting as a crucial stage in the evolution of Mortiis’ music.

“When we were writing and working on ‘The Great Deceiver’, we were coming up with all sorts of inspired stuff, a really varied collection of music,” Mortiis offered. “Some of it was far too varied and experimental to be included in such an angry, dark album as ‘The Great Deceiver’ so we created a brand new album that is the introductory element to the more intricate world of ‘The Great Deceiver.’”

“I think we really captured a cool vibe here,” Mortiis enthused. “It’s not easy marrying anger with melody, but I believe we did it. The songs on ‘Perfectly Defect’ were created across a period of time, and I believe it shows in terms of what inspired these songs. They’re rather soundtrack-y in a dark and sometimes bombastic way.”

With the concept of digital distribution came a new empowerment for Mortiis – one where the artist controls his own artistic destiny.

“After our record deal finally expired, I had developed a profound aversion to the very idea of letting other people control my art, my lifework,” he said. “So, again, the idea of the new technology really did grow on me. We dealt with some really evil stuff in the industry. Nothing shocking in terms of industry practice, but at a human level, it was a living nightmare. It reached a point where we fired everyone around us except for the handful of people we knew we could trust. It was a big move, but had to be done in order to survive. It was like rewinding the clock back to the start and beginning with a clean slate. We started working on a ton of new music right then. With the advent of modern technology, we realized we could do a lot of stuff without the often self-serving, meddling record labels. No record label would ever have let us put out an album for free, with the option to donate if the fans wanted to.”

The album will be available at www.mortiis.com beginning on October 10. There is no cost for the download, but donations to cover the cost of recording may be made through the website.

Iain Frisk and Night By Night have decided to follow different musical directions.

Iain Frisk: “I’d like to wish Ben, Jonny and Moyano all the best with Night By Night, the forthcoming album and the continued success of the band. Over the past two years we’ve shared incredibly amazing times, and I look forward to continuing that friendship.”

Ben Christo: “It’s no secret that Iain played a crucial role in establishing and developing Night by Night into the entity it is today. He remains a great friend and one whose levels of musicianship, hard work and dedication continue to inspire.”

Hailed by the British and international rock press as a force to be reckoned with on a rock and metal scene that has become sterile, Night by Night have made giant steps since their formation in 2008. Their EP Can’t Walk Away, produced by Romesh Dodangoda (Bullet For My Valentine) is out now on iTunes and via their website.

Iain Frisk comes from a unique musical background; his writing, playing and composition style incorporates influences from genres as diverse as rock, folk, punk, classical, and metal. Aside from his guitar playing and singing, Iain plays the Vielle a Roue, Violin and Mandolin, and is a Logic Pro engineer.

OFFICIAL PRESS RELEASE: DAZZLE REBEL TO JOIN N.G.S



The past few weeks have been a bittersweet time in the N.G.S camp. Sadly, Tony decided he will no longer be playing bass with the band, but we would like to clarify will always be a member of the N.G.S family, this is a more than a just a band, and the experiences shared within it have made bonds that transcend the music. “The band has had an amazing few years since the release "Crash Course" and through the more recent "Raising the Stakes" times, and Tony has always made a huge contribution to the writing, performance and live shows of the band....and we would like to thank Tony from the bottom of our hearts.” – AJ

However, the rocking is NOT over, (told you this had been bittersweet!). We would like to introduce the new bass player Mr Dazzle Rebel (ex Red Star Rebels). N.G.S have known Dazzle for a few years now, and thought there would be no better replacement. With his own glowing rock credentials, and song writing ability, Dazzle is eager to rock. The official debut of Dazzle will be in Newcastle on 2nd July, at Legends supporting Tigertailz. A single and video are set for release in September 2010.

Official Press Release 4/14/2010

Right on the heels of the success of Trash Fest III, Mama Trash Promotions, Inc. creator Mama Trash announces Trash Fest IV will return to its "home" at Gloria in Helsinki in 2011. She adds, "The kick off party has been such a blast for the bands and the fans, I have decided to extend the festival to THREE FULL DAYS!"

Trash Festivities are scheduled to take over Helsinki, March 31 - April 2, 2011 featuring 12 bands and the ever so popular, Mama Trash All Star Band. Many more surprises are in store, but can not be revealed.

"The festival will be bigger and better than ever in 2011 with a few bands being booked from outside the "trash family circle" to stir things up a bit! One slot will also be reserved for a band based on fan votes!” Mama says. “Never fear, of course there will be plenty of beloved family artists from all over the globe in attendance and performing, including the 2011 MT All Star Band! I found it exciting that I had such an over abundance of singers in the band this year, it will be interesting to see who I select next year!" she continues.

Mama Trash favorites, Lord Of The Lost (Germany) and New Generation Superstars (UK) are already confirmed. The rest of the bands will be announced in the upcoming months. Also new in 2011 will be an OFFICIAL After Party to be held at Gloria after the festival on April 2nd.

“If you miss Trash Fest IV, the joke’s on you!” quips MT with the festival set to fall on April Fool’s Day. That should make for a very interesting weekend!

For Immediate Release: Acey Slade and the Dark Party join Ace Frehley East Coast dates.

New York based rock/electronic artist Acey Slade and the Dark Party have been tapped as support for Ace Frehley of Kiss for his upcoming US East Coast dates.

'I am thrilled beyond belief to support one of my idols, Mr. Ace Frehley. His live shows and new album truly show that Ace is 'Back in the NY Groove'. I'm honored to be a part of the shows that mark his return to form.'

Acey Slade released 'The Dark Party' album this past January. In an effort to stretch artistically and musically, Acey worked with legendary English Drum and Bass producer Shaun Morris. Toilet Boys guitarist Shawn Pierce directed the single/video for ‘She Brings Down the Moon’. ‘The Dark Party’ has received plenty of critical acclaim:

'Combining the sharp rock hooks and skuzzy darkness of his previous projects, Acey has crossed them sweetly with sweeps of lush electronica. The results are devilishly successful.'

4/5 Kerrang

‘These eleven tracks take you on a genre mashed rollercoaster ride which is clearly a composed trip into Acey's musical mind letting the boundaries crash and blur as electro, metal and punk caress and French kiss with rock, drum n bass and grunge…this is a truly genius effort and an entertaining celebratory album that Acey and Co can be extremely proud of.’

TrashPit Records Release New ACEY SLADE Album TODAY!!

TODAY (January 18th 2010) is the Official Release Date of the ACEY SLADE & THE DARK PARTY Album 'The Dark Party' on TrashPit Records - distributed through Cargo Distribution.

"Combining the sharp rock hooks and scuzzy darkness of his previous projects, Acey has crossed them sweetly with sweeps of lush electronica. The results are devilishly successful" KERRANG! Magazine

Cleverly bringing together and stretching boundaries between both Rock and Electronic genres, Acey Slade and his new band have produced a collection of songs that are both sonically and emotionally exciting, enabling them to smash open the doors to another blistering musical chapter in an already colorful career.

"There are so few artists who are really willing to put themselves out there and show other sides of their creativity." Acey explains. "As a guy who is known for doing three chords and a cloud of thunder type guitar rock, I really took a chance by doing this album. And what I'm most proud of is the fact that I took this chance. To take big risks means risking falling on your face. By just taking this risk, I've already accomplished what I wanted to do."
