About Me


It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye
- Antoine De Saint-Exuprey / The Little Prince -
Shane Sellers spent 26 years as one of the country’s greatest jockeys, both on the track and behind the scenes. He battled his way through the powers to increase jockey weight limits and reduce the growing amount of eating disorders, fought for endorsements so that his fellow jockeys would not risk their lives for a mere $50 per mount, and pushed for better insurance for the men who risk their lives for every race. In return, Sellers was banished from the sport in hopes that he would keep his secrets and his goals to himself.

Now Sellers is back and he has an amazing story to tell. Welcome to the secret world of horse racing; a place where heaving bowls and sweat boxes cover every jock’s room, horses run numbly towards their final destinations, and one man continues to battle for what he knows is right.

Melodic but sometimes hard, progressive, yet direct, SEPTEMBER's intensive beats and lyrical ballads form the perfect combination of rock and metal. Their music is a fusion of the various influences each musician spent years developing into a single band.
SEPTEMBER has earned the reputation of a true LIVE band with a number of fans who enjoy the impact impression of their impeccable performance. Their shows are never repetitious having soulful interpretations and renditions intertwined with passionate and pulsating solos.
To much acclaim, SEPTEMBER released their new CD (13 tracks) entitled "2 smiles ago" by "LIVE Records". Please visit either of their websites for complete purchasing options, or see below for direct links and promos currently being offered!

newZEROgod was originally formed by select members of the popular Hellenic bands 'Flowers Of Romance' and 'Nexus'. What initially appeared to be a looney idea of four deranged minds soon developed into a nice thought.
A slight lineup change to include members of 'Past Perfect' has resulted in the formation of a powerhouse of musical talents. Artistically blending post punk, dark wave, and gothic, an emphasis is placed on the songs which paved the way for these genres in Hellas.

The Cartel, the name in memory of the famous UK distributor, is a collective of Greek independent bands. The basic idea behind its conception and creation is rather plain and none other than the joint venture of individuals who share the same visions (both musically and aesthetically), and who after years of lone struggles in an indifferent music status, have decided to join forces. The ultimate goal of The Cartel is to build the right background, upon which the creative efforts of its members will be best exposed.
Initially, The Cartel consists of 4 bands: Ding An Sich, The Illusion Fades, New ZERO God, and Past Perfect. However its aim is to grow and expand with more members in due time. The activities of The Cartel will be manifold and varied. All and each one of them with the sole purpose of promoting the work of its members through gigs or other events, CD releases, merchandise or other marketing enterprise.
