Myriad Of TV Performances Including Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Late Night With Jimmy Fallon, Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting, And Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve

 

NEW YORK, -- On Sunday, ARIANA GRANDE received the honor of "Best New Artist" at the 2013 American Music Awards.

This makes for the platinum-selling singer very first win at the annual ceremony. Moreover, she dazzled the audience with a show-stopping performance, driven by her immense vocal prowess and effusive charm. After an acapella rendition of her double-platinum smash "The Way", doo wop crooners joined her on stage for an enchanting "Tattooed Heart". Her voice immediately transfixed the entire audience in the Nokia Theatre and around the world. The superstar diva the 21st century has been waiting for has landed at the top.
About winning the award, she humbly said on stage, "Oh My God, I'm so nervous. Thank you so much. This is for my fans. I have the most loving, supporting fans in the world and I love them so much. Thank you to the AMAs for nominating me."
Meanwhile, Monte Lipman , Founder and Chairman of REPUBLIC RECORDS responsible for signing Ariana said, "When I first met Ariana, I was blown away by her extraordinary talent, passion for music, and burning competitive spirit.  It really comes as no surprise that she would be recognized as 'Best New Artist' for 2013. We are all so proud of her and this historic achievement."
GRANDE is closing out a banner 2013 in style. She just commenced her weekly series of holiday singles, "Christmas Kisses", by dropping her cover of Wham!'s "Last Christmas" to iTunes and all digital outlets this past week. "Christmas Kisses" continues with two gift-wrapped originals next. On November 26, fans will be treated to "Love Is Everything", while "Snow in California" arrives December 3. Then, a sexy take on the classic "Santa Baby" with her Sam & Cat co-star Liz Gillies rounds out the "Christmas Kisses" series December 10. This provides an appropriate bookend to a landmark year for the artist.
Bringing holiday cheer to the masses, "Last Christmas" will make its live television debut when GRANDE performs it at the legendary 87th annual Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 28. That night, she'll be joined by none other than THE ROOTS for a special Thanksgiving performance on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon. Then, she's set to really light up the Rockefeller Center Tree Lighting with "Love Is Everything" and "Last Christmas" on December 4. Finally on December 31, she's set to ring in the New Year by performing on Dick Clark's Rockin' New Year's Eve .
2013 has truly belonged to GRANDE.
GRANDE's album Yours Truly arrived at #1 on the Billboard Top 200. It was the first time since January 2010 that a debut record from a female artist topped the chart. Not only did it bow at #1 on the Top 200, in addition, it was the #1 album on iTunes Overall Albums Chart and #1 on the Digital Albums Chart. Already, GRANDE has become a bona fide pop phenomenon. Executive VP of Republic Records Charlie Walk who led the incredible campaign proclaims, "She's simply magnetic. You hear her voice, and you fall in love with her. That's the hallmark of a superstar."

SEVENDUST
LAUNCHES PLEDGEMUSIC CAMPAIGN
TO FUND NEW ACOUSTIC STUDIO ALBUM
SET FOR RELEASE SPRING 2014;

93% OF GOAL REACHED IN FIRST 72 HOURS
 
 
 
November 25, 2013 – It’s the news SEVENDUST fans have been waiting for, and they wasted no time in grabbing the opportunity to personally get involved. 
 
At 9:00 AM PT on Friday, November 22, SEVENDUST launched a PledgeMusic direct-to-fan campaign to help fund the band’s long-awaited and highly-anticipated acoustic album over the course of 130 days. 
 
At 9:00 AM PT on Monday, November 25, the Atlanta band reached 93% their goal with over 1240 pledges.  However, the campaign is far from over, even after they reach their goal.  Plenty of incentives are left, including the basic $10 pledge for an album pre-order and access to exclusive updates from the band as the album is being created, and any additional funds raised will simply be a bonus for the campaign.  Additionally, even though the grandest incentive ($10,000 for a private acoustic concert at a fan’s house) was scooped up the first day, the band decided to add two more of this very special offer.
 
How’d they do it?  Facebook and Twitter.  Not only the band’s official pages, but also the band member’s personal pages, where messages of thanks and excitement from fans were posted within minutes of the launch.  The news quickly spread amongst the Family like wildfire.  SEVENDUST has always said they consider their fans to be part of the SEVENDUST Family, and they’ve certainly proven their love and devotion for the band with the immediate response to the PledgeMusic campaign. 
 
By popular demand, the Atlanta band--Lajon Witherspoon (vocals), Morgan Rose (drums/vocals), Clint Lowery (guitar/vocals), John Connolly (guitar/vocals) and Vince Hornsby (bass/vocals)—will enter Architekt Studios in Butler, NJ (where they recorded their current BLACK OUT THE SUN album) in January 2014 to record their highly anticipated and much-talked-about acoustic studio album, which will be released next spring.  It’ll be a collection of brand new songs along with re-recorded SEVENDUST classics. 
 
They asked their fans to be an integral part of the new project.  Not only have they been asking fans for input of which songs to re-record, they partnered with PledgeMusic for a direct-to-fan campaign.  Filled with exclusive incentives for ultimate access to have a hands-on part of the band’s legacy, the campaign is granting fans the opportunity to get a digital download of the album before its available anywhere, exclusive updates during the making of the record, and much more.  Ranging from signed drumheads and guitar picks, to joining the band in the studio for a day, to being included in the album’s liner notes, to autographed guitars used on tour, to a private acoustic show at the house of the most generous donor, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for SEVENDUST fans.
 
"We're very excited about the new Sevendust acoustic record,” declares guitarist Clint Lowery.  “Knowing our relationship with the Sevendust Family, releasing it through PledgeMusic and allowing our supporters to be a part of the process is what it's all about.  This type of direct-to-fan project is a perfect fit for us and it will allow a very personal connection between the band and its supporters.  We can't wait to get to work on this record and have the fans join us in this unique process."
 
"We wanted our fans to be involved in the making of this record,” continues drummer Morgan Rose.  “PledgeMusic is a perfect way to share the creative experience with them.  We're really looking forward to it."
 
Portions of the proceeds from the campaign will be donated to St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, which works to find cures for children with cancer and other catastrophic diseases.
 
Details about SEVENDUST’s PledgeMusic campaign can be found at http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/sevendust.
 
“The reason for doing this is that you guys have made us what we are today and we want to involve you in a much deeper way than we have ever before,” says the band in a combined statement on the direct-to-fan page.  “We have been face to face with many of you, and some of you have been to over 50 shows and we have become family.  We want you to have a chance to be a part of this process with us and make this record stand out.”
 
And as the entire band chimes in:
 
Lajon Witherspoon:  “For me, on an acoustic, I’m able to showcase my vocals more.  This is just a little something different, you know, we get off the beaten path every now and then.”
 
Clint Lowery:  “We’ve had a couple of specialty shows where we’ve played acoustic, so that was kind of the first taste of ‘Whoa, we can be heavy, but we can be an acoustic band and the same fanbase will embrace us.’  We have one more month to be out here on tour, we’ve been grinding it out for a long time.  We’re completely putting every bit of our energy into this acoustic record.  We already have these amazing ideas circulating for it.  We want to make a statement with it.  I want to open a whole different door for our band.”
 
John Connolly:  “This will be cool for us, to kind of go in and just focus on just the acoustic side of the band which is something that we’ve been trying to get back around to for eight/nine years now.”
 
Morgan Rose:  “We wanted to do an acoustic run, but we thought we’ve got the time to do it, why don’t we do an acoustic record and actually do five or six, seven random songs acoustically.”
 
Vince Hornsby:  “I hope our fans dig it.  We play the heavy stuff all the time.  It’s good to throw something different in there and change it up a little bit.”
 
It’s not the first time SEVENDUST has explored their acoustic side.  Their critically acclaimed SOUTHSIDE DOUBLE-WIDE live acoustic album was released in 2004.  As All Music Guide had praised:  “Fans should invest readily in SOUTHSIDE DOUBLE-WIDE...SEVENDUST’s famously confrontational sound smolders, and damn it if their sensitive side isn't just as fiery.”
 
SEVENDUST has been on the road since early February in support of their critically acclaimed BLACK OUT THE SUN album, which was released March 26 on the band’s own 7Bros. Records in conjunction with ADA Label Services.  It debuted at #1 on Billboard’s “Top Hard Music Albums” chart, as well as #18 on the “Top 200 Albums” chart, #4 on the “Record Label Independent Current Albums” chart, #5 on the “Top Current Rock Albums” chart, #14 on the “Overall Digital Albums” chart and #17 on the “Top Internet Albums” chart. The first single, “Decay,” reached #6 on Billboard’s “Active Rock” chart.  “Picture Perfect” is the latest single from BLACK OUT THE SUN, which has quickly jumped into the Top 25 on Mediabase’s “Active Rock” chart.

About Midnight Red:
United by their intensely pure talent and passion for music of all kinds, Midnight Red’s members hail from all over the U.S.: Joey Diggs, Jr. is a Los Angeles native, Thomas Augusto was raised in rural Texas, Anthony Ladao is from Seattle, Eric Secharia grew up in Burbank, and Colton Rudloff comes from Buffalo, New York. As the second signing to the partnership between Grammy Award-winning producer/songwriter RedOne’s 2101 Records and Capitol Music Group, Midnight Red is now teaming up with RedOne (Lady Gaga, U2, J.Lo, Pitbull) to create a debut album that showcases their powerhouse vocals and harnesses the combustible energy of their live show.

Near-lifelong singers and dancers hailing from wildly different backgrounds, Midnight Red saw its inception when Anthony and Eric met through their mutual vocal coach. A star dancer for Monsters of HipHop, Anthony had tried out as a backup dancer for Janet Jackson at age 12, then made it to the final round of auditions only to find he was too young to go on tour. After Anthony connected with Eric (through a vocal coach), the two reached out to Thomas, who soon relocated to L.A. from his rural Texas hometown to join the group. A self-described music obsessive “raised by MTV,” Thomas devoted his high school years to scouting out any opportunity to sing onstage, and had crossed paths with Eric through a singing competition when he was 15. Next, the group tracked down Colton after stumbling across a YouTube video of the aspiring singer/school-chorus star covering Jesse McCartney’s “Leavin.’” To round out the lineup, Midnight Red’s then-manager tapped Joey, another aspiring singer who was attending California State University, Northridge (and whose singer/songwriter father, Joey Diggs Sr., had recorded vocals with the likes of Smokey Robinson, Whitney Houston, and Rod Stewart).

OF MICE & MEN TO JOIN BRING ME THE HORIZON FOR NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH

THIRD STUDIO ALBUM DUE OUT IN EARLY 2014 ON RISE RECORDS

Of Mice & Men recently finished recording and mixing their third studio album, which will be released early next year. The forthcoming full-length album is the follow up to 2011's acclaimed release The Flood, which solidified the California-based five-piece as a leading force in modern heavy music.

Rock Sound declared the release "a truly memorable, hip-shaking face-breaker of epic proportions." To this date, The Flood has sold over 125,000 copies and has been streamed nearly 16,000,000 times on YouTube, making it one of the most successful release in Rise Records' 22 years of operation.

Laura Bell Bundy is Kentucky Dirty


The video for Laura Bell Bundy’s latest single, Kentucky Dirty, is now available on Vevo at: http://www.vevo.com/watch/laura-bell-bundy/kentucky-dirty/USCJY1321025  The single was released on November 5th and is available on iTunes http://smarturl.it/KdirtY

Laura Bell Bundy directed the video with friend Becky Fluke in her home state of Kentucky.  The University of Kentucky dance team makes a cameo in the video which is featured in the Kentucky Wildcat Basketball documentary "The Sixth Man" available at Walmart November 26th

The song and video are very personal for Bundy who was raised a University of Kentucky fan and considers it a religion.  The behind the scenes of the making of the video can be seen at:

Laura Bell Bundy is the true definition of triple threat. Her theatrical resume reads like a wish list of the most coveted roles in recent Broadway history Amber Von Tussle in Hairspray, Glinda in the smash hit Wicked and she originated the role of Elle Woods in Legally Blonde, a performance that earned her Tony Award, Outer Critics Circle, and Drama Desk nominations. 
           
She has also been spotted in front of the camera throughout her career, appearing on television shows such as Cold Case, Veronica Mars, Home Improvement, How I Met Your Mother, Malibu Country, and a recurring role as "Shelby" on Hart of Dixie. Bundy can currently be seen as the female lead in the Charlie Sheen, FX network comedy,  Anger Management, playing Dr. Jordan Denby, the “new sex-study research partner” to Sheen’s character.

Bundy penned all but one of the songs on her previous album, Achin’ and Shakin.’  Her breakout hit “Giddy On Up” reached #31 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Charts and landed her a show stopping performance on the 2010 Academy of Country Music Awards.  “Giddy On Up” was also featured on the popular video game Just Dance 3. 
           
Laura Bell’s most recent single “Two Step” answers the age-old question of what happens when you combine HOT, country, dance tracks and hip-hop beats?   Her music is bold, outspoken, hilarious, surprising, devilishly dirty and most of all, danceable.
