MEDIA RELEASE MARCH 2008

DEXTER SIGNS TO FOGSONGS AND REVEALS A TWO WORLD MULTIMEDIA FIRST EVENT!



Two worlds will become one when Dexter records his next album as a live concert
at Damien Gerard Recording Studio's in Sydney.



Signing to Fogsongs in December of 2007, after MD Marshall Cullen saw one of
Dex's acclaimed live shows at Lizottes on the NSW Central Coast, the next album
will be recorded live in the studio, while both audio and video will be streamed
simultaneously into the virtual world of Second Life



The live streaming Event takes place on April 9th and  will result in the
production of an original concept album consisting of only acoustic guitar,
drums and vocal! Selected tracks from the concert will be available as a limited
release on CD and digital formats such as iTunes



This world first musical event with Dexter on guitar and vocal and featuring
Dave Bennett on drums, will be streamed as a 10hour live audio/video show into
Second Life at 'The Turquoise Planet' with any tips proceeding going straight to
charity via Diabetes Australia. National broadcasting of the event is in
discussion following a channel seven piece shot on Dexter and his music in
second life late last year.



Already having performed with well known artists such as; John Butler Trio,
Jimmy Barnes, Midnight Oil and Crowded House, Dexter's music has been described
as both unique and captivating. 'He has an elusive element to his music called
soul' according to Nick Snelling of Beat Magazine and has achieved international
acclaim as a 'musician of amazing virtuosity' from The London Times as well as
winning the ABC Newcastle RnB Song of the Year in 2007.see www.dexonyx.com for
more.

another new way for independent artists to break through.

Vitamin and receiving this great support for my music."



Vitamin Records is also looking forward to this new partnership commenting;
"Morning Tree is a beautiful selection of songs from an artist of great promise.
The songs are quirky yet mainstream, tuneful and yet hauntingly sparse. I think
Morning Tree is a great introduction to the, music of Mei Lai and the song 'Come
as You Are' is a standout"



Mei Lai has also just received the Triple J prize to attend the Apra S3 Summit
in Sudney so you can catch her LIVE at the songwriters summit showcase at The
Cat and Fiddle Hotel Balmain on Saturday April 5.

led me to regard her as a true artist."  -  Amira Pyliotis, aka Tecoma



"Absolutely beautiful."  -  Jacinta Parsons, 3 Triple R



A "one-of-a-kind multi-skilled iceberg."  -  Time Off Magazine

MEDIA RELEASE



MARCH 2008



As many Independent Artists find their niche in 2008 those of foghorn's stable
are finding an open ear in the media to kick off 2008 and coincide with touring.



2008 is set to be an exciting year for Foghorn, with plenty of media activity
for new releases from talented artists such as: The Woodenelves, Jude Elliot,
Chickenhead, Very Unique Existence, Penny Coco, Illicit Eve and Mei Lai Swan. A
new SoundsLike Café at Home retail compilation CD has been released with 'Grow
Your Own Upload 2' and Home Grown Roots Volume 3 to come later this year.



Jonathan Moran of the Sunday Telegraph gave Jude Elliot(MGM) a rave review for
her latest album Gentle Glimpse of Waking, awarding her a 'stellar effort' and
commending the diversity of her songs. Jonathan has also commended Very Unique
Existence and their debut EP likening them to Powderfinger and Jet  (more on
V.U.E below).

(http://www.judeelliot.com)



  Chickenhead(Itunes) is 'simply smokin' according to Paul Robinson's review in
the latest February edition of QANTAS Inflight magazine The Australian Way..
Referring to their mini album Jack of Diamonds as having 'Dirty, stompin', raw
blues power'.

(http://www.myspace.com/chickenheadband)



  Very Unique Existence caught the ear of Michael Smith(Drum Media), who
expressed that the group delivered 'a crisp, strong and confident musicianship'
with their new EP Everyone. The four piece from Byron Bay have been receiving
plenty of media attention, with a review and emerging artists article in the
January 18 edition of The Music Network, commercial radio playlist adds around
the country and even college radio chart activity in the USA.

As young emerging artists, they are predicted to evolve into a 'worldwide
crowd-pleasing machine' in 2008 and judging from the fact that they have just
completed interviews for Rolling Stone mag and Billboard USA its not far wrong.

(http://www.myspace.com/thevuerock)



  Mei Lai Swan is releasing her EP The Morning Tree(Vitamin), kicking off her
launch shows on the 28th of Feb with The Fuse Festival in SA. Mei Lai has been
described as 'absolutely beautiful' by Jacinta Parsons (Triple R radio) as well
as having Triple J Unearthed comment 'it's the lush sound of cello and her
unique captivating voice that make Mei Lai's music so enticing'.

(http://www.myspace.com/meilaiswan)



Perth act The Woodenelves(MGM) are on an absolute roll this year, following on
from supports with The Black Crowes and Angie Hart they will be completing an
East Coast tour including FUSE festival throughout Feb and March before jetting
off to perform at SXSW and Canadian Music Week.

(http://www.myspace.com/thewoodenelves)



Illicit Eve received Triple J play late last year and have now scored a release
through Mixmasters/MGM for their debut album 'Into the Woods' - the album and
accompanying video for single "They Don't make boys like they used to' was
launched to a sold out crowd in Adelaide last weekend and will be available in

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Febuary 1st 2008




Byron Bay Band Very Unique Existence break through to independent success story!



In this time of transition from the traditional major label model to a more
artist driven industry many barriers still exist for a young act aspiring to
commercial recognition but one new aussie band from the new south wales north
coast seems to be breaking them down quite comfortably with  radio adds both in
Australia and the USA as well as Retail Chain airplay in Europe.






Since testing songs mid 2007 on an early issue of their EP and receiving spot
plays on Triple J, MMM Brisbane and regional stations as well as amassing a huge
presence on myspace with an intriguing idea

of fully involving their audience and feedback in all aspects of the bands
career -all leading to the current figure of 99000 plays and counting. The new
remastered, repackaged CD now includes a bonus DVD and has already scored the
band the Music Network Hit Pic and Emerging Artist piece in the Jan 18th issue.


This has already resulted in no less than 16 ATB Adds(see Feb 4 TMN) across
regional commercial radio across NSW and Queensland  for the first single 'Take
It Easy' - stations such as   NEW FM, 2ZZZ, Power, Max, Hot 91, 104.7 Grafton
and many more have all embraced the bands own self defined brand of 'Positive
Consiousness Rock' .The SBA Network have added both the single and video while
Mood Media/DMX have taken things one step further with 4 of the five tracks
added to their playlists and the single championed as the number one pick from
Australia for their European Channels-see www.moodmedia.com.au

The European response is totally in line with the bands strategy of expanding
their audience reach using new technologies to get their music everywhere
possible and the USA is no exception - the simultaneous radio push going on
there as we speak has so far resulted in the band breaking into the TOP 30
College Radio charts in only the second week of promotion with some stations 
reporting Top 10 plays as well as high level rotation to over  2.5 million
internationally on the Moozikoo and Radio X network

To back up the release there is a 45 date regional and metro tour already booked
which commenced where else but the Beach Hotel in Byron on Jan 31st - the tour
takes in towns such as Lismore, The Gold Coast, Bellingen, Port Macquarie and
more before heading into the cities - for full tour dates see www.thevue.com.au
.

The CD EP with bonus DVD clip (high rotation on Nightlife Video) is distributed
by MGM and with more radio support sure to come on board and management already
sniffing the future looks bright
for these 4 guys from Byron Bay.

Blending influences from Silverchair to the lighter side of Kyuss,  Take it Easy
will play well on multi-formats. The group, which has  built a strong fan base
by actively involving fan feedback into song
writing and delivering rocking live shows locally and internationally,  is a
more than healthy introduction to local radio. Don't take it easy on adding this
one! The Music Network JAN 18 2008

Very Unique Existence have created something that first grabs a hold of you
tight and close then all of a sudden lifts you to dizzy heights - Best Magazine

check out http://www.theskinnytree.com

It's web-based contact management software designed specifically for musicians.

theskinnytree is the brainchild and collaboartive effort of several Austin, TX
based touring
musicians. we built it for ourselves so we know it's useful.

BUT WHY FREE??? Yeah, well it won't always be. To shoot you straight, in a year
or so it'll
probably cost $25/year for solos and $55/year for bands. Not much, but still not
free. So
you're right.

However, we're working on a way that if you help us promote the site, you can
still get it for
free. But all that's a long way off. Right now it's absolutely FREE. Enjoy and
please give us
feedback.

thanks
