DARREN “WIZ†BROWN CHARITY CD RELEASE - IPANEMA
The unexpected and tragic death of Darren “Wiz†Brown on 6th Dec 2006 was a shock to many people. He was a greatly respected and extraordinary musician and writer who touched the lives of many through his work with MEGA CITY FOUR, DOUGHBOYS, SERPICO and most recently IPANEMA.
UK label Boss Tuneage had been releasing records by Wiz’s bands over the previous six years and had built up not only a great working relationship but also a great friendship with IPANEMA.
The question was – How best to honour Wiz? The only answer could be through his music.
So throughout 2007 Boss Tuneage has been working with Wiz’s partner Karina and his IPANEMA band mates Lawrence and Rauf on a self-titled IPANEMA CD. Gathering up the newly demo’d tracks for Ipanema’s envisaged album, the boys once again returned to the recording studio to complete the Ipanema story, the way Wiz wanted to start it.
The result is a magnificent 17 track CD, containing these 9 unreleased recordings plus the out of print “Baseball Bat/Skull†7†from 2003 and the “Me Me Me†mini album from 2005. Everything that IPANEMA recorded.
All monies raised by the sale of this CD are being donated by Boss Tuneage directly to the Forward 4 Wiz Trust. The Forward 4 Wiz Trust is a charity set up by Wiz’s partner Karina Fraser. Drawing on the inspiration he gave to others through his music and his humanitarian, compassionate and creative outlook on life and his work, F4WT intends to help out talented bands and musicians with advice and some small financial assistance for all the little, and some bigger, things that often get ignored. Creativity matters. Inspiration matters. Music matters. More information on the trust can be found at www.myspace.com/f4wt
In order to raise as much money as possible for the Trust, the CD is only available via mailorder, and is set for release on January 18th 2008 – which is Wiz’s birthday.

SCOTT REYNOLDS AND THE STEAMING BEAST
"ADVENTURE BOY" LP/CD
When you are Scott Reynolds and you have fronted one of the greatest punk bands on the planet, ALL, as well as incredible groups like Goodbye Harry and the Pavers, what is there left to do? That is a good question and fortunately, we have the answer.
Scott Reynolds latest project, the Steaming Beast, is a natural progression of his past outlets, but if you haven’t been paying attention, it might catch you off guard.
“Adventure Boy†finds Scott working with multi-instrumentalist Dave Fridmann and Steven Drozd from THE FLAMING LIPS, which sounds a lot like you imagine it might. Add to the mix guest appearances by DRAG THE RIVER and various members of PAVERS and BONESAW ROMANCE and you get a truly magnificent, rounded album.
A corelease with Suburban Home Records (suburban Home in North America only, Boss Tuneage worldwide excluding America)
