Burning the debut video from Dark Every Day's new 2010 CD release Project Burning. Burning was filmed in the ruins of an abandoned 1930's gas station in Houston's historic 4th Ward, by noted director W. Ross Wells of ZenFilm. The location...from all signs...is used as a half hearted shelter by homeless folks and there was much decoration by underground artists, taggers and an occasional missionary with a paint brush. Footage was filmed on a damp and cloudy day and along with the chosen site, provided a solid texture for Burning, literally setting the stage for the song, by creating an uncomfortable, edgy environment, both symbolizing and complimenting the lyrics. Having filmed throughout the day, the band belted out their hit single Burning until the Houston police forced them to shut down camp. Fortunately for Wells and the Dark Every Day boys, filming had just completed!

Putting Jimi Hendrix's house in order
Janie Hendrix hopes that 'Valleys of Neptune' and other official releases help restore her guitar hero stepbrother's recording legacy.
By Randy Lewis
February 14, 2010
The keepers of Jimi Hendrix's flame are calling the new album of long-buried recordings by the proto-rock guitar hero “Valleys of Neptune.” The obvious explanation is that it's the title of one of the cornerstone songs that emerged during a fertile, albeit transitional, period in Hendrix's career: the early months of 1969, when the original Jimi Hendrix Experience was dissolving and its namesake was figuring out what to do next and with whom he would do it.
But spend a little time talking with those keepers -- Hendrix's stepsister, Janie, who controls his estate, recording engineer Eddie Kramer, who was there in the studio much of the time when Hendrix was at work, and music historian and Hendrix devotee John McDermott -- and you quickly sense that "Valleys of Neptune" also describes just how far they've been willing to go in recent years to put his recorded legacy and -- in a grander sense -- his memory in order.
"I keep saying that this is the most fun, archaeological dig you could possibly go on," said Kramer, one of the handful of people still alive who spent significant time with Hendrix in a recording studio. "You unearth these little gems, and you go, 'Wow, I don't remember him doing that.' But then all these little pieces start to fit together. . . . That's the intrigue: You get on the scent of something, then you get that lovely moment of discovery -- like that classic moment when we found an enormous pile of tapes that had been left at some studio on the East Coast because a phone bill hadn't been paid."
Hendrix, Kramer and McDermott gathered recently at the North Hollywood recording studio where Kramer and associate Chandler Harrod have been putting finishing touches on master recordings they're using for "Valleys of Neptune." They're working with 41-year-old 14-inch reels turning on vintage Ampex tape machines hooked up to banks of the latest digital equipment to ready them for release March 9 on CD and audiophile vinyl pressings.
The releases roughly coincide with the launch of the latest Experience Hendrix Tour, this one kicking off in the Southland with shows March 4 in Santa Barbara and March 5 at the Gibson Amphitheatre in Los Angeles. On the bill are Hendrix disciples, including Joe Satriani, Eric Johnson, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and Jonny Lang along with bassist Billy Cox, Hendrix's Army buddy who joined him when Noel Redding exited the Jimi Hendrix Experience.
For a couple of decades after Hendrix's drug-related death at age 27, fans were deluged with what seemed like every scrap of tape that had ever captured some of his musical landscape-altering guitar work or his fierce, blues-fired vocals. He released just three official studio albums during his lifetime: the watershed 1967 debut of the Jimi Hendrix Experience, "Are You Experienced," followed in relatively short order by "Axis: Bold as Love" and his only No. 1 collection, "Electric Ladyland."
A live set from Hendrix's Band of Gypsys surfaced shortly before his death on Sept. 18, 1970.
In succeeding years, however, various labels have issued more than 30 albums of live performances and assorted studio recordings he left behind. Since Janie Hendrix emerged as the victor in the legal wrangling over who would control the estate after the 2002 death of her father, Al Hendrix, she, Kramer and McDermott have busied themselves trying to redress what McDermott terms "a short-sighted approach that was just to try to grind [his catalog] for what it was worth at the time. There was no long-term thought or care, and this was a guy who wanted all of that."

AC/DC To Release An 'Iron Man 2' Soundtrack Compilation Album
Even though "Back in Black" played shortly before the attack that would lead to Tony Stark's Iron Man transformation, for whatever reason rockers AC/DC got the shaft on the first IM movie soundtrack. Fans need not worry, however, a new release in conjunction with "Iron Man 2" sees the band redeemed fifteenfold.
Marvel and partners Columbia Records have announced that AC/DC will release "AC/DC: Iron Man2," a compilation/soundtrack stocked with 15 songs culled from 10 of the band's albums.

Beyond being known for their powerful live performances, Twisted Roots has always been a band that evolved with each and every release. Their latest offering "Vol 1" is no exception to the rules either. Described as a cross between early Black Sabbath, STP, and the Stone Temple Pilots, the bands first single "Hollow Earth" has been gaining steady airplay on both terrestrial and internet radio stations across the country.
Twisted Roots "Hollow Earth" pays homage to the legend of the "hollow earth"... a second subterranean earth populated by an advanced civilization. The Hollow Earth video puts an unusual but exciting spin on this story. Without giving too much away... the story is told through the eyes of the denizens of the Hollow Earth. The video is produced by Zenfilm and is was shot on locations both above and below Houston, TX. Twisted Roots flew to Texas for the performance portion of the video which was filmed on a specially equipped Houston Soundstage. The narrative portion of the film was shot in the labyrinthine tunnels beneath Houston's multimillion square foot George R. Brown Convention Center... this location was dressed to recreate the lives of our two young protagonists and denizens of the Hollow Earth. The world premier of this HD video is scheduled to be released in early June 09 and run will appear on most major music networks shortly there after.
The video is being lensed by the award winning creative team of director W. Ross Wells and cinematographer Wayne Forster who have created a number of national and internationally released music videos for a variety of recording artists.
