BIO:

NYC’s BLACK SATELLITE, comprised of Larissa Vale and Kyle Hawken, is creating waves in the rock scene with a sound that’s dark, edgy, and distinctly their own. Fusing industrial and metal influences, their music transcends conventional boundaries – solidifying their place in the genre. The band continues to break new ground through ceaseless hard work and nonstop touring, showcasing their dedication both on and off stage.

Shortly after launching their first single “Valkyrie” from their 2017 debut album ‘Endless’, BLACK SATELLITE garnered attention from press outlets like Billboard, Huffington Post, Revolver, Loudwire, Knotfest, and Alternative Press. The band was also named one of Alternative Press’ “12 Bands You Need to Know” in a print issue of the magazine.

BLACK SATELLITE subsequently released two cover songs paying tribute to Type O Negative, which charted on metal radio.

The band recently concluded writing and recording their sophomore record, ‘Aftermath’, mixed by veteran producer Ben Grosse (Marilyn Manson, Breaking Benjamin, Filter) with tracks produced by Kane Churko (Papa Roach, In This Moment). Their previous single, “Void”, was the first taste of the upcoming album and Knotfest commented on the track, “the first single offers a glimpse into the bold, stylishly dark sound that has made the duo of Larissa Vale and Kyle Hawken such a promising prospect.”

BLACK SATELLITE has since completed back-to-back tours as direct support for John 5, Fozzy, and Nita Strauss, with additional appearances at Metal In The Mountains Festand Blue Ridge Rock Fest. BLACK SATELLITE also toured supporting Cold and Sumo Cyco in Spring 2022, as well as Drowning Pool in Fall of 2022. The band joined the Double Trouble Live Tour with co-headliners Cradle of Filth + DevilDriver as direct support in March 2023. They will be continuing with the second leg of the tour in October 2023 directly followed by a massive Fall tour with Wednesday 13.

VeeAlwaysHere Redefines Musical Expression with the release of broken: playlist II

Producer, Songwriter and Recording Artist, VeeAlwaysHere, has just dropped the second installment of his ‘playlist’ series, titled broken: playlist II. Following the success of last year's ego: playlist I,VeeAlwaysHere continues to captivate audiences with his deeply emotive storytelling and genre-defying sound. In broken: playlist II, VeeAlwaysHere continues the

protagonist's search for love while embarking on a poignant journey of healing and self-discovery. The playlist series explores the intricacies of love, vulnerability, and human emotions, weaving a gripping narrative that leaves listeners eagerly awaiting the next chapter.

The project kicks off with the evocative track "pink roses" featuring Maria Ellis. In this soul-stirring piece, VeeAlwaysHere unapologetically refuses to seek clarity in his love life, fearing rejection and heartbreak. The raw emotions continue to pour out in track 2, "out my head," where he candidly admits to his constant thoughts about the object of his affection. However, as the story unfolds in track 3, aptly titled "broken," VeeAlwaysHere confronts the truth and acknowledges that he needs to work on himself before moving forward. The theme of self-reflection intensifies in track 4, "I don't dance," featuring Ted Park, as VeeAlwaysHere explores his avoidance and denial in a villainous origin story. Throughout the playlist, listeners witness moments of vulnerability, culminating in the heart-wrenching power-ballad "joker," whereVeeAlwaysHere realizes the detrimental cycle of falling too hard and hurting himself repeatedly. The journey concludes with "outside," where he finally prioritizes his own well-being, and "somebody," which marks a new chapter in his search for genuine love. VeeAlwaysHere's broken: playlist II stays true to the series' hallmark genre-hopping approach, showcasing his versatility as an artist. This time around, the project embraces a more grounded cinematic feel, resulting in a considerably sadder, yet deeply resonant experience.

MORE INFO:
Hailing from Siberia, Russia, VeeAlwaysHere always had a great passion for music, and a heavy influence from American Pop music. The ability to tell a story in its most vulnerable and raw way moved him despite the heavy language barrier. As a child, VeeAlwaysHere pushed through the language barrier to write songs, however because he couldn’t speak English - they were initially just gibberish. While having mastered the English language in a mere 2 and a half years, VeeAlwaysHere is now a self-taught musician who handles his production, writing, recording and mixing; and has received praise from MTV, Billboard, Consequence of Sound, and more.

BLUES ROCK POWER TRIO, DUSTIN DOUGLAS & THE ELECTRIC GENTLEMEN’S NEW SINGLE AND VIDEO, ‘BROKEN’ OUT NOW!

Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania’s blues-rock power trio, Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen, released its much anticipated new single, “Broken” on Friday, April 30th, 2021 worldwide - on all digital platforms. Recorded at 8 Days a Week Studios in Northumberland, PA by revered engineer/ producer and former Badlees/Cellarbirds bassist, Paul Smith, the tune (the group’s first new music since 2018’s full length album, ‘Break It Down’) proves once and for all that the blues-rock genre is most definitely, alive and well.

Accompanying the song is DDEG’s video for “Broken.” The video is directed by award winning director, Jonathan Edwards and was shot in the band’s hometown in the historical Irem Temple Theatre. Currently a restoration project, the theatre was WilkesBarre’s primary performing arts venue in the early 1900’s and known for its Moorish Revival Architecture, towering minarets and stained-glass dome. “The fact this beautiful, ‘Broken’ theatre exists right in our backyard is amazing,” says Douglas. “There was no doubt this was the perfect location for this new video.”

“Broken” has all the classic Dustin Douglas and The Electric Gentlemen elements - sexy grooves, infectious rhythm, and Douglas’ soaring guitar work and unmistakable vocal. “‘Broken’ is a very good sonic explanation of who we are as a band,” says Douglas. “Classic rock with a modern twist. We do our best to carry the torch of our power trio forefathers. The spirit of “The Jimi Hendrix Experience, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Double Trouble, Cream, and Mountain runs deep in my veins.”

‘Break It Down’ found itself on the Top 20 RMR (Roots Music Report) Blues Rock Album Charts and the Top 10 Pennsylvania Album Charts since its release. The album has also charted on, The Blues Album Charts, The Blues Singles Charts and The Blues Rock Single Charts.

Additionally, DDEG have won numerous Steamtown Music Awards including:

BLUES ARTIST OF THE YEAR ALBUM OF THE YEAR GUITARIST OF THE YEAR VIDEO OF THE YEAR

LIVE PERFORMERS OF THE YEAR

DDEG also received an Independent Blues Music Award nomination for Blues/Rock Song of The Year for “Out of My Mind.” In 2019.

“Broken” has blasted Dustin Douglas & The Electric Gentlemen’s already soaring trajectory into a whole new level of success.
