DAD sure is a band with a real aptitude for multitasking. The band consists of skilled musicians often alternating between instruments mid-song: a spoken word vocalist who plays a synthesizer (Gabriel Gorman), a saxophonist who plays keyboard (Adrien Daoud), a bassist who plays bass clarinet (Maxime Daoud), and a drummer who plays glockenspiel while drumming (Thibaut Brandalise). “I started to play music on the piano at 12 and a year later I picked up the saxophone but I never stopped practicing the keyboard. On stage I have to often play both instruments at the same time,” explains Adrien Daoud. Each member of the band sings and participates in the typically emphatic percussion that DAD loves to thrust upon their audiences and listeners. Together they make a quartet ready for nearly anything with a concept and attitude in line with this world and its fast paced life-style. Catch the rest after the jump!
Jack Johnson
“Flake” (mp3)
from “Brushfire Fairytales (Bonus version)”
(Everloving Inc.)
With one of the most instantly recognizable songwriting styles in recent memory, Jack Johnson has become a household name in radio-friendly, positive mid-rock. With his unique vocal stylings, relaxed surfer influence, and positive message, Johnson has managed to achieve commercial success rarely heard of in contemporary times for a singer-songwriter. Since he released his debut album, Brushfire Fairytales, in 2001 on Everloving Records, Johnson has sold over 8 million albums worldwide, founded his own label (Brushfire Records), organized an annual festival in Hawaii called the Kōkua Festival, and recorded the soundtrack for the successful 2006 film Curious George. That’s all on top of the four more full albums along with a number of EP’s he released, which all found critical and commercial success. His name is now synonymous with pop-rock radio for the first decade of the 21st century.
Now, Everloving Records along with IODA is proud to announce that Jack’s debut album has been remastered from the original analog tapes and is being re-released in a special bonus edition! The album that started it all, Brushfire Fairytales, returns to Everloving Records this January with a remastered version (by the famed Bernie Grundman). Back in 2001, Everloving was still called Enjoy and Brushfire Fairytales was their 1st release. Ten years later the album returns to Everloving’s conservatorship so they decided to give it the royal treatment by pulling the original 1/2″ analog masters from the vault and re-introducing the album to old and new fans alike, now with two vintage live tracks. The album was produced by Everloving co-founder JP Plunier and became the basis for Everloving Records after it was rejected by every major label. It was after a year of dedicated work and 100,000 units sold that all those same labels returned with offers to sign Jack.

The London Symphony Orchestra is widely regarded to be one of the world’s leading orchestras, with over 100 years of performing experience. The LSO was founded in 1904 as an independent, self-governing organization, the first such orchestra in the UK. It played its first concert on 9 June of that year, with the legendary Hans Richter conducting 1911. The LSO became the first British orchestra to play overseas when it went to Paris in 1906, and the first to play in the United States, in 1912. LSO has performed all across the world and even recorded soundtracks for films, such as all the Star Wars films, the Harry Potter series, The Queen, The Land Before Time, Braveheart, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and Superman. They were also prominently featured in Alfred Hitchcock’s film, The Man Who Knew Too Much!
In 2000, LSO launched their own classical label, LSO Live. Since then LSO Live has become one of the world’s most talked about classical labels. 2010 marked LSO Live’s 10 year anniversary; in that decade LSO has recording with some of the world’s greatest conductors, including the orchestra’s President Sir Colin Davis, its Principal Conductor Valery Gergiev, as well as Bernard Haitink, Mstislav Rostropovich and Mariss Jansons. Today LSO Live has over 70 titles in its catalogue. Every LSO Live recording is edited from several concerts, using the very latest high definition recording technology whilst preserving the unique energy of a live performance. Without a doubt they are are one of the finest orchestras of all time, and the recordings bare witness.
