<br />
While it's becoming a habit, it's still an achievement: In a music business that seems to be dominated by free streaming, Five Finger Death Punch has scored its third debut at number two on the Billboard Top 200 Album chart with <i>Got Your Six </i>(or fourth, if you included both volumes of <i>The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell</i>).<br />
<br />
Co-written and produced once again by Kevin Churko, <i>Got Your Six</i> eschews the softer side of FFDP as showcased on both parts of the <i>Heaven </i>album, but has the power of the record's first single, "Jekyll and Hyde," which is currently at number three on the Active Rock radio charts.<br />
<br />
Also, in a nod to the band's core fans (more affectionately known as Knuckleheads), <i>Heaven, Vol. 1</i> spiked on the Billboard Album chart the same week as <i>Got Your Six</i>'s debut entry. <i>Heaven, Vol. 1</i> has enjoyed over 80 weeks on the sales chart since its release July, 2013.<br />
<br />
FFDP are currently on the road with two other Kevin Churko (and Kane Churko) produced acts: Papa Roach and In This Moment.<br />

Cadium Music Publishing's writer/producer, Kevin Churko, scored his first number one album with Disturbed's latest, <i>Immortalized.</i> Churko has written and produced albums that hit number two on the Billboard Top 200 album chart with Five Finger Death Punch's <i>American Capitalist </i>and <i>The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell</i> (Vols. One and Two), but until very recently, the number one spot had remained elusive.<br />
<br />
Churko co-wrote on all the band's 15 songs from the album.<br />
<br />
Disturbed, no stranger to number ones, has had its last five albums open at the top spot.<br />
<br />
<i>Immortalized</i> has been partly fueled by the anticipation from loyal "Disturbed Ones" who have waited five years for a new record from the group, and the album's first (number one rock radio) single from the disc, "The Vengeful One."<br />
<br />
The band will play one show this year, then begin the first leg of their U.S. tour in the Spring.Cadium Music Publishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05858776796456182741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1221125841700665928.post-65863169913112886752015-08-03T22:02:00.000-07:002015-08-03T22:02:26.806-07:00Producer / Mixer Michael James has #1 for Fifth Week in a Row<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Veteran producer / mixer, Michael James, is enjoying his fifth week at number one at Mexican radio with his mix of Kalimba's "Estrellas Rotas." The track has actually topped two charts:<br />
<a href="http://monitorlatino.com/top-canciones-de-momento-mexico/pop/" target="_blank">Audience Response and Spins</a>.<br />
<br />
James, who has a long history of working with artists early in their careers (Hole, L7, New Radicals, Jane's Addiction, among others), has managed to remain ahead of the curve when it comes to production and mixing. An early believer in "hybrid mixing," the native New Yorker has consistently brought fresh perspectives to songs, sometimes taking tracks in their most raw forms and creating dazzling mixes or even taking a previously mixed track and making it even better, thus winning over the artist with his take on how to get the most out of a recording.<br />
<br />
While James has won over many artists with his mixing abilities - as well as his guitar work - many of James' clients come by way of the collective he helped found, <a href="http://www.indiepromix.com/michaeljames.html" target="_blank">IndieProMix</a>. IPM has proven to benefit both producer and artists, as James has helped up and coming artists release advanced recordings at an affordable rate, while keeping the Los Angeles area habitant up on the latest new sounds.<br />

After a five year hiatus, Disturbed are back with a new album.<br />
<br />
The Chicago quartet chose to (not so) quietly step into Kevin and Kane Churko's The Hideout towards the end of last year and record 19 songs, which culminated in <i>Immortalized</i>, due out August 21, according to the band's website. <br />
<br />
Kevin helmed the sessions and is credited with co-writing all the songs.<br />
<br />
The lead track is "The Vengeful One," and based on some Disturbed Ones' reaction, the news of a new album is happily welcomed.Cadium Music Publishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05858776796456182741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1221125841700665928.post-65207077769886410502015-05-11T21:35:00.000-07:002015-05-11T21:35:56.727-07:00Cadium Music Signs Actor/Singer/Songwriter, Chester Rushing<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Five Finger Death Punch has done it again with their fourth Gold album in <i>The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Vol. 1</i>. The Kevin Churko-produced album, which was release in July 2013, led off with "Lift Me Up" (guested by Rob Halford) and dove-tailed with the title track, which hit #1 on the U.S. Active Rock charts in late 2014/early 2015. Both Kevin and Kane Churko co-wrote on the album, as well. This is the third Gold FFDP album helmed by Kevin Churko. <br />
<br />
As of this writing, the album is still in the Billboard Top 200. <i>Vol. 1</i> has been on that chart for 61 weeks.<br />
<br />
The Churkos are currently in the studio with FFDP, working on their new album, expected later this year.<br />

<br />
Bling (real name if Nick Helbling), who brought his song, "The Fighter," to In This Moment during the recording of their <i>Black Widow</i> album, has been an integral part of the success at Kevin Churko's studio, The Hideout. Bling has credits as a Programmer and Editor on the aforementioned ITM album, as well as the most recent Five Finger Death Punch album, <i>The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell</i>.<br />
<br />
Bling also co-wrote "Be Right There" for teen artist, MattyB.<br />
<br />
"The Fighter," which is the most commercial song on ITM's new album, will most likely be released as a single, later this year.<br />

<br />
- In This Moment's, <i>Blood</i>, continued to sell, and with the guidance of Kevin and Kane Churko in the studio, the band landed a new record deal with Atlantic.<br />
<br />
ITM's new album, <i>Black Widow</i>, has been out less than five weeks, but the group (and the label) is in full support of the record. <br />
<br />
Prediction: ITM's, "The Fighter," is the sleeper track on the album (think crossover radio), but won't get much attention until early next year.<br />
<br />
- Cisco DeLuna's collaboration with Nashville's Annie Bosko is producing results. While not written by Cisco, Bosko's "Crooked Halo" is gaining traction at Sirius radio.<br />
<br />
- Southbound 75, a new project from Mark Lorenzo, was recorded this year and after testing some of the tracks, rock, as well as country listeners, like what they hear. Expect Southbound 75 to release its debut in the first quarter of 2015.<br />
<br />
- Five Finger Death Punch - the band that keeps dishing it out - had great success with both volumes of its <i>The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell</i> that were released in 2013, selling 750,000 collectively. The title track just reached number one on the rock radio charts.<br />
<br />
The guys have already recorded much of their new album with the Churkos and the first single is expected in March with an album launch in May.<br />
<br />
- Papa Roach recorded their latest with each Churko writing and producing part of the album. The lead single, "Face Everything and Rise," has already been licensed and the album is due out, 1/27/15.<br />
<br />
- Currently, three Cadium songs are in the rock radio top ten: The aforementioned, "Wrong Side," as well as Hellyeah's "Moth" and the aforementioned "F.E.A.R." (ITM's "Sick Like Me" is #11.)<br />
<br />
Lastly, if the industry can get a handle on the streaming situation, maybe 2015 will be a better year for all of us.Cadium Music Publishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05858776796456182741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1221125841700665928.post-23322793150176647432014-11-09T21:49:00.000-08:002014-11-09T22:00:40.345-08:00The Reason Records Don't Sell Like They Used To - The Real Reason<div class="MsoNormal">
For those within the industry who know me, I usually don’t
air my views of the business publically; however, based on a recent article in the
10/25/14 issue of Billboard Magazine, I am compelled to comment.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The article is <u><span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Managers of U2, Pharrell, Madonna
& More Unite to Revolutionize the Music Industry</span></u><span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> and
it discloses how a group of very talented artist managers intend to break the
cycle that has led to the current downward spiral of the record business and
put the industry back on the right track, reflecting the industry’s past
success (before the digital age).<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I want to make it very clear that this piece is not
about criticizing these successful managers and their new company, Maverick.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Guy Oseary, through his enormous talent and
hard work, has made some remarkable achievements in his years in the business
and there’s a reason why he’s one of the industry’s power players.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I have also had the opportunity to talk with
Guy, mostly during my time at EMI Music, in the ‘90s, and I find him to be
quite an affable and smart man (I’m not validating, just confirming).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I laud Oseary for attempting to turn the tide of a
business that has been riddled with low royalty rates for streaming, which is
partly responsible for what has led to the overall undervaluing of musical
compositions and recordings, resulting in less music purchases.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m happy that he is one of the few who is
willing to address this problem and attempt to fix it, but in this article,
which I encourage you to <a href="http://www.billboard.com/articles/business/6289050/maverick-movement-meet-the-oseary-bryant-laffitte-rodgers-roberson-rudolph-spalding-veazy-leber" target="_blank">read</a>,</span> there is, in my opinion, one glaring omission, and thus the point of this
writing.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">What brought me to the conclusion to comment on the
Billboard article is the following:<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>With
all the knowledge and success of the members of this key collective (Caron
Veazey, Adam Leber, Ron Laffitte, Gee </span><span style="color: #151515;">Roberson, Larry Rudolph, Scott Rodger,
Clarence Spalding, Cortez Bryant and the aforementioned Oseary) there was one
area of the business that was never discussed (though a few came close) and
that is ensuring that their artists consistently produce an album’s worth of
strong material.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Yes, I am a publisher and I’m focused on the song
and I freely admit that my fort</span><span style="color: black; mso-bidi-font-family: "Lucida Grande";">é</span><span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"> is not tour marketing, promotion, branding, etc.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wouldn’t it, however, make sense to make sure
that the product is solid and contains multiple radio singles so that the
artist wouldn’t have to focus so much on other revenue streams in order to make
up for lost music sales?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the article, Oseary mentions that there are other ways to
reach an audience.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>What he doesn’t
mention is that, initially, an album release can almost be static; you really
only get one chance in the release cycle to sell an abundance of units and if
the songs don’t compel the consumer to buy, there’s less of a chance he/she
will buy even if it’s served on a different platter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">The topic of making better records is the elephant
in the room, and from my experiences, no one wants to talk about it.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Why is that?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">I might not have the answer, but my supposition is
that somewhere between the artist, record company A&R and management, the
issue of whether or not an album has hit singles is either not being discussed,
A&R and management are afraid they might offend the artist, or the people
who are supposed to guide and help the artist succeed don’t know what a hit
song is.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">You could make the argument that Maverick’s artists
don’t need this kind of attention and that they have a vision set out for
themselves and there is no need to mettle in the creative process.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>If that’s the case, I would respectfully
rebuttal by saying that there i</span>s a reason Adele’s last album, “21,” went
Diamond.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There’s a reason why Taylor
Swift albums sell north of a million copies in its first week, then remain on
the charts for several weeks thereafter.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Did Adele’s “21” become a colossal success because Americans
are suddenly enamored with British women who possess a soulful voice?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is Taylor Swift an industry of its own
because we suddenly are attracted to talented singers from Pennsylvania?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
No.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Much of the reason
Adele and Swift, and others like them, sold millions is because they took the
time to make sure that their fans had an album they could listen to from beginning
to end and enjoy for years to come.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
One more example – the Eagles.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As great as they were as songwriters in their
prime, Don Henley and Glenn Frey still were not satisfied with the material
they had collaborated on for future albums and brought in outside writers to
make damn sure their records were as good as they could be.<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Again, just my opinion from years of being in the
business.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">As mentioned, some of the Maverick managers come
close to addressing the issue of weak music sales:<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Caron Veazey comes as close to the topic as anyone
interviewed saying that, among other things, it comes down to great music; but
she doesn’t say how to make sure that the music is compelling.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Adam Leber points out that the Maverick business model has
been done before, but the difference between Maverick and other firms is that
its managers aren’t afraid of sharing information amongst each other (which is
a good thing); but will any of that information have to do with making sure
future albums are chock full of hits?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Gee Roberson acknowledges that a big challenge is the
decline of album sales, which gave me some hope that he had a solution, but
instead of a solution to turn around this downward trend by making sure the
music is commercially viable and can achieve success at commercial radio, he
mentioned branding artists with another product.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Is it possible to make up for the lack of music
sales with an artist’s wine sales?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Yes,
but what about improving an artist’s music sales with better songs? <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Wouldn’t that help make the artist a catalog
artist, whose recordings could end up being purchased by generations to
come?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And what happens if the wine stops
selling?<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In relation to Roberson’s thoughts on album sales, I would
like to do a quick refresher on the way it used to be in many instances:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="color: #151515; mso-bidi-font-family: Times; mso-bidi-font-weight: bold;">Prior to the digital era, the consumer on many
occasions walked into a music store expecting to buy the single from an artist
that he/she heard on the radio only to be told that it doesn’t exist in that
format and that the only way to purchase the song is to purchase the entire
album.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>For some, that’s like wanting to
order only the french fries, but told that in order to get the fries, you have
to order the entire meal and then once you have paid for the meal, you come to
find out that the rest of the meal - <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>that you really didn’t want in the first place
- isn’t very good.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Since consumers buy music much differently today, the
business has had the challenge of trying to figure out how to get the consumer
to buy music in the quantities that they did, pre-digital.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Getting back to the article, it’s quite possible that
through the editorial process, it left out the quotes about how Maverick is
going to dig in and make sure that their artists have multiple hit songs on its
albums.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Assuming there weren’t any, I
volunteer the following suggestions:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpFirst" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">1 - </span></span>Hire an experienced A&R-type, whether it’s a
label person or publisher who really knows what a hit song is – and not some
marquee guy who drinks and golfs with the right people, but has little to show
for it. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And hire as many as you need to
cover each genre properly.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpMiddle" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">2 - </span></span>If the key members of the collective want to dig
deeper to make sure the hiring process for an A&R-type is a success (or do
it themselves), they might want to speak with some of the former A&R people
from the ‘60s and ‘70s who brought us a multitude of catalog artists that sell
to this day and gain some knowledge of how they dealt with a talented artist
who didn’t have enough material to fill an album.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoListParagraphCxSpLast" style="mso-list: l0 level1 lfo1; text-indent: -.25in;">
<!--[if !supportLists]--><span style="mso-bidi-font-family: Cambria; mso-bidi-theme-font: minor-latin; mso-fareast-font-family: Cambria; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin;"><span style="mso-list: Ignore;">3 - </span></span>Make Guy Oseary the A&R guy (at least for
rock and pop).<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all, he does know
what a hit song is.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>(Oseary recognized
Alanis Morissette’s talent and signed her to a label deal when every other
major label turned her down.)<o:p></o:p></div>

Papa Roach's new album doesn't come out until January 27th, but you can get an idea of what the album is going to sound like with one of the songs on <i>F.E.A.R.</i> The song is <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Qot3Ubz16Jo" target="_blank">"Warriors,"</a> which is the last track on the album.<br />
<br />
"Warriors" was co-written and produced by Kane Churko.<br />
<br />
Also, coming soon is the album's first single, "Face Everything and Rise."Cadium Music Publishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05858776796456182741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1221125841700665928.post-90937218087969075772014-10-11T21:05:00.000-07:002014-10-11T21:05:08.787-07:00New Album from Papa Roach Due Out 2015; Single Coming SoonPapa Roach completed their new album, <i>F.E.A.R. </i>(Face Everything And Rise), which will be due out early next year. <div>

<div>
The record was recorded at Kevin Churko's Hideout Studio and co-written with Kevin and Kane Churko.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the past, the Churkos have collaborated as a team when it comes to writing with their artists, but due to unusually high traffic at the studio earlier this year, Kevin and Kane co-wrote and produced the album separately - and according to the band, it came out great.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Look for the first single, "Face Everything and Rise" which was co-written by Kane Churko, to come out before the end of the year. <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Some of the highlights include Kevin and Kane Churko each winning a Juno for their engineering work for <a href="http://www.fivefingerdeathpunch.com/" target="_blank">Five Finger Death Punch's</a> <i>American Capitalist</i> and In <a href="http://inthismomentofficial.com/wordpress/" target="_blank">This Moment's </a><i>Blood</i> albums. Kane is the youngest person in Juno history to win in the Engineering category. "Battle Born," from FFDP's Volume 2 album topped the rock radio charts.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.lorenzolounge.com/" target="_blank">Lorenzo</a> had a really good year on the road, finally playing in cities that have been waiting for the band to play, well, for a long time.<br />
<br />
Cisco DeLuna played a significant role in Jim Carrey's audiobook, <i>How Roland Rolls</i>, as well as co-writing and producing two projects: Steve Reynolds and Rodrigo Navarro. Both albums are due out next year.<br />
<br />
Looking ahead, Lorenzo plans to continue to support its <i>Ignition</i> album, and Team Churko will be in the studio with <a href="http://www.hellyeahband.com/" target="_blank">Hell Yeah</a> and welcome back In This Moment for their next album.<br />
<br />
…and look for the Special Edition of ITM's Blood, due out at the top of 2014.<br />

Kane, the son of writer/producer Kevin Churko, has built quite a catalog, writing songs with Ozzy Osbourne, Five Finger Death Punch, In This Moment and Eyes Set To Kill, among others. Churko's contributions as a writer have resulted in FFDP's biggest selling song on 2011's <i>American Capitalist</i> with "Remember Everything" and the biggest selling song in Century Media's history, the title song to ITM's 2012 release, "Blood."</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: static; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: auto;">
Growing up in a musical family, Kane learned the Pro Tools ropes through his father and is currently the engineer of the elder Churko's studio, The Hideout, in Las Vegas.</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: static; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: auto;">
Still, with all the activity coming out of The Hideout, Churko has proven himself to be able to successfully work on projects independently of his father and one who can add value to writing projects, such as co-writes on the just-released Eyes Set To Kill album, <i>Masks</i>, writing with Jake E. Lee (Ozzy Osbourne) for his solo project, Red Dragon, September Mourning (Virgin) and Speaking The Kings (Nuclear Blast).</div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: static; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: auto;">
While his ever-growing catalog of songs appears to be focused on hard rock and metal, Churko has a very pop background, as demonstrated by his recordings with his band, Modern Science. The youngest person ever to win a Juno for <i>Engineer of the Year</i> for his work on the aforementioned <i>Capitalist</i> and <i>Blood</i> albums, Churko is looking to maintain a balance amongst various genres of music, by pulling from his personal musical experiences and a variety of artists he's worked with over the years (Shania Twain, Bob Dylan, Hinder and The Corrs, among others). </div>
<div style="-webkit-text-stroke-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0); -webkit-text-stroke-width: 1px; background-color: white; border-width: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px; margin-bottom: 1.1em; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; position: static; text-align: justify; vertical-align: baseline; z-index: auto;">
Look for the bevy of activity from Kane Churko to continue for the duration of the year and well into 2014.</div>

approach by releasing a double-album, but in two shifts - Volume 2 of the
offering to be released later this year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

charts.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Kane Churko Wins, Too!CARAS has once again recognized the great work of Kevin Churko. Last night, Churko won his fourth Juno at the 39th Juno Awards. Churko won for <a href="http://www.discovermoosejaw.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=29035&Itemid=902" target="_blank">Engineer of the Year</a>, for his work on In This Moment's song, "Blood," and for Five Finger Death Punch's, "Coming Down." What made the award extra special was that Kevin's son, Kane, also shared the award as co-engineer on the two tracks. Both In This Moment's, "Blood," from the album of the same name and Five Finger Death Punch's "Coming Down," from <i>American Capitalist</i>, were recorded at Churko's The Hideout.Cadium Music Publishinghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05858776796456182741noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1221125841700665928.post-88491027844575588692013-04-18T19:29:00.000-07:002013-04-18T19:38:45.168-07:00Lorenzo Tour Dates Announced - Hitting Midwest and East Coast Beginning in May<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 10pt;"><a href="http://www.lorenzolounge.com/" target="_blank">Lorenzo</a> will be heading out on the road in May in
support of their latest album, <i>Ignition</i>.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; border-spacing: 0px; font-family: Helvetica;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">The tour, which hits the Midwest and East Coast in
May and June, brings the band back to the more conventional style of touring,
rather than playing spots dates like they did last year with Fuel. Marko,
lead singer and guitarist of Lorenzo, is undoubtedly happy going out on tour
for an extended period of time.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">"It's been too long since we've been out
for a string of dates," says Marko. "What's exciting is that
we're going to a bunch of places that we have never played. This will be
the first time in the Northeast for us and that is exciting because we can
finally go see the fans that have been asking us to make it out there."
</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Apparently, fans have been vocal about the
group's impending stops, which include Newport, KY, where the tour kicks off, May 24. Some
fans, however, feel a bit slighted, as the guys aren't scheduled to hit certain
spots yet, but Marko is optimistic.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">"The fans from the cities we are not
playing all ask, 'Why aren't you coming here?' Well, there will be more
dates announced, so I'm hopeful that we'll get out to Denver, Minnesota and
Iowa, for example," adding that, "It's nice to see everyone so
involved and actually working hard to get us out (on the road)."</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">Lorenzo has a history playing the Midwest and
parts of the South, especially Cincinnati and northern Kentucky, but the East
Coast is a big question mark. Still, Marko reports that the welcome, so
far, is warm.</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">"We've been pleasantly surprised that in a
world of fewer places to play that we are able to get to the places we have
never been. There are actually clubs that are excited to have us - that really
gives us the energy to do a long list of dates. We can't wait to get
there!"</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">And the line-up for the upcoming tour is a bit
different. "One of the things I am really excited about," quips
Marko, "is having a slightly different line up this tour. Aaron
(Farrier) on drums and Stu (Stuart McConnell) playing guitar is the same, but
we're adding a new bass player, Julian Simonelli." Marko goes on to
say that, "Julian and I have been friends for a while and he is the 'go-to'
bass player in Tampa. He has played with everyone and is a true
professional. He's originally from New York and has played with guys from
Black Sabbath, Blue Oyster Cult, Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, Miranda Lambert's
band and Nine Days."</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">So what are the shows going to look like?</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">"Our shows in the past have all been very
scripted and stiff," Mark states. "Some of that is required
when we're opening on a national (tour). These clubs (referring to the
upcoming shows) are a little smaller so we are really hoping to do whatever we
feel like. Hopefully, every show will be a little different and
entertaining to our fans - and the friends they bring."</span><span style="font-size: 10pt;"><o:p></o:p></span></div>

The band was quoted as saying that they need to keep the 'creative muscle' alive and true to their word, they're working on Album #4 with writer/producer, Kevin Churko. Churko co-wrote and produced the last two albums <i>American Capitalist</i> and <i>War Is The Answer</i>. Both albums have sold-through Gold (500,000 in the U.S.).
