Los Angeles Guitar Quartet - master classical shredders!October 7th, 2004
If you are looking for an intense guitar music check out The Los Angeles Guitar Quartet – John Dearman, Bill Kanengiser, Scott Tennant and Andrew York. Thier latest release "Guitar Heroes" finds them returning to their roots, paying tribute to a range of artists representing styles as diverse as jazz, bluegrass, rock and flamenco.

“The heroes generally fall into three camps: rock, jazz and finger style,” according to the CD liner notes. “The quartet’s extrapolations, however, remain stubbornly none-of-the-above. This is label-defying new music – the systematic rethinking of a dozen guitar legends commissioned, composed or arranged by and for LAGQ. The pantheon includes Frank Zappa, Hendrix and Michael Hedges; Pat Metheny, Django Reinhart and John McLaughlin; Steve Howe and Ralph Towner; Chet Atkins, Norman Blake and David Bromberg.”

Hot Water Music New CD and on TourOctober 6th, 2004
HOT WATER MUSIC’s third album for Epitaph, the New What Next, is easily the band's finest CD yet and a must for fans of forceful, fluid and intricate punk-inspired sounds.

Built on a foundation of open-mindedness, teamwork and democracy, HWM has been road and studio dynamos since coming together in Gainesville, Florida in the mid-1990s. By 2001, the quartet had aligned with Epitaph in time to drop the highly lauded A Flight And A Crash and its follow up, the much revered Caution.

The New What Next is filled with anthemic spark and melodic yet cathartic drive. And the band is a must see live. Check out there tour dates below and be sure to visist HWM on the web at: http://www.hotwatermusic.com
