UNVEILING: MAdM ART NOUVEAU A LA MOYER!

MAdM©2010LeeMoyer

HOLY HONOR OF ART NOUVEAU HEAVEN
as a visiting muse to this art nouveau red river of rusty leaves and petals, i declare:

“A SACRED HEART HOVERS BETWEEN MY HANDS!”

unveiling the fine art achievement of LEE MOYER!
Century Guild of Chicago created this union between myself and famed illustrator Lee Moyer, in a mad dash effort to bring like minded souls together at Comic Con. This Poster was custom made for this event, in less than 3 weeks (applaud lee!) we will be receiving visitors July 22 at 2PM tomorrow at the Century Guild Booth at the Sand Diego Comic Con. I’ll be catching a sneak peek of it all tonight, but i hear you can not miss this booth- it’s the HIGH ART booth of the convention. it’s where the original Poster art of the turn of the last Century is exhibited and sold. An incredible movement in art, that i certainly visited in another life…. we will gather in that fantasy tomorrow!
Looking forward to seeing all the passion and creation in the football field of fantasy madness x

Next Stop….. Montreal all for DOUBLE HEAVY HEAVEN HITTER OF MAdM OOOM!

p.s. #MAdMTV questions for the iconic men of HEAVY MTL is building in Twitter land, but i will try to find a moment to explain it more cohesively here tomorrow – in order to be sure to get as many questions and insights rolling. long of the short is, i am at HEAVY MTL all weekend, surrounded by some of the most incredible heart, minds and hands of Heavy Rock- and i feel a responsibility to ask some questions of these inspiring men. the link between magic, myth and rock! where do they access the fantastical story lines of their creations from? what they think the future of mythic music is in this modern world!? where do women and love fit into their intense landscapes… i’m asking you to provide me with questions and hopefully insight or crucial facts i may not know about the bands history etc….

Montreux Jazz Festival Show Cancelled. DEVASTATED

Due do a Emergency Door Light Malfunction, then an unavailable pilot, my flight to Geneva was cancelled Thursday. Leading to cancellation of my show at the prestigious festival in Switzerland.
MORE INFO HERE
I’m heartbroken and apologize for all inconveniences to the Festival and anyone who had planned to attend the show. In my 15 years plus of touring, i’ve never missed a show, with the EXCEPTION of two shows this year due to the Icelandic Volcano. The way i see it, is TWO once in a blue moon flukes like this, makes for SMOOTH sailing from here on out. for the next 150 years, the coast is clear!
I’ll see you again dear Switzerland. our fates are crossed x

Love of OOOM Support

I want to express my gratitude for all of you who’ve been reaching for and supporting OOOM. This is my first Independent release, so the sharing of it brings on a whole new feeling and meaning. Starting with spreading the song OUT OF OUR MINDS…

Joey O. in Philly (love that town!!) on Y-Rock On XPN was the first to PLAY OOOM on the AIR anywhere! Back when it was a free sneak peek download – Thank you JOEY!!!

You, the listeners of OOOM pushed the song to a hyped track and Full Time add on Last.FM

I also want to pay a special thanks to some companies and websites who are DONATING gear to treat you, while spreading the OOOM:

FIRST! AMPEG and ZVEX, LP33 and Buddyhead have put up contests:

AMPEG and ZVEX are giving away a special Micro BASS Amp and effects pedals that I’ve hand “painted” (Box of Metal! Wooly Mammoth!)

Check it out:*

Hand painted ZVEX EFX and Ampeg Contest

LP.33 TV are giving out a FULL OOOM and put up a fun and full interview with me – check it out here:*

Win Full OOOM from LP33 tv
*These two contests are only available to US residents….

And Buddyhead also gave out some OOOM – thanks Travis!

Find his world here.

OOOM has also received support from, Fender, Shockhound, Blender and IGN and MSN:

I’ve played a Fender Bass for as long as I’ve played Bass – My Fender P has literally brought me around the world, so it was great to reconnect with the Fender team, and be featured on their site. There’s a special Women & Music story building in their camp, keep tuned in HERE.

Speaking of playing the bass, who knew playing someone’s Lunch break could be so fun? Performing live for Shockhound & Hot Topic at their Rock head quarters turned out great.

Rock & interview here:

Shockhound Live performance

I also had some fun making a tour video blog at SXSW which was posted to Blender – watch Here

MSN picked up on the OOOM! We posted a Windows Media player onto the site here- which brought the songs to many new ears. Thanks for the support!

… And my unofficial collector of all things MAdM OOOM on line, WILLING ENABLER! This personal blog, is often the first to show ME what I’ve been up to. Thank you for Passing it on…. Stay Tuned to WE!

Not to mention all the Tweets, Blogs, Facebook Love…..you know who you are.

If you’re still listening …then I will whisper this secret.Two new contests are coming up from the makers of two of my favorite things: BASS & PHOTOGRAPHY. FENDER and LOMO are going to give away a signed bass and Camera in honor of YOU & OOOM.

There have been many more supporters, but there will be more updates!

Thank you for coming in…

DENVER, VAUX & ME: NOW!

ok… so i need to get on a plane within the next 24 hours to get to this city in the rockies, but i must tell the story first. WHY AM I GOING TO DENVER?

To Share OOOM Film & Live
Photobucket

But also because of my special connections there…

Considering that i have never played in Denver with my own project (other than The Curiosa tour in 2004, but the magic of The Cure may have blinded most of the locals to the fact that i was there) and considering that i live in the North East and just came back from about 3 months of zig zag-ing east coast, west coast, europe and Volcanos, i do crave rest… BUT Denver is the place i want to be this weekend!

Years ago, i came across this magic six piece rock band from Denver, playing in a punk rock parking lot basically. they were VAUX and i’ve loved them ever since. an amazing band who toured harder and played harder than most i’ve ever seen, with HEART, great SONGS AND entirely and inspiringly self initiated DIY!!! we remained in touch over the years, and when i heard they had disbanded after an unfortunate wrestle with, YES a MAJOR LABEL…. it broke my heart, BUT i was determined to cross paths with them again…
Three of these six dedicated musicians, have been touring with me as my band, for the last year. We’ve been from Rome to Finland and Paris to Halifax. They are the best Holy Trinity i could’ve ever hoped for to help me out of my creative cocoon and back on stage. I feel supported and musically in tune with them- which inspired the recording of 22 Below on the album, AND spawned ISIS Speaks- a direct result being so inspired by our union. it’s the first song we wrote as a band- and the last song written and recorded for the album, one of my favorites. thank you….. and now:

Officially Introducing, all the way from Denver, Colorado:
The International Men of Leisure…

Christopher Jay Sorensen: on the guitar and race bike….
Photobucket

Adam Michael Tymn: on the other guitar and dirt bike…
Photobucket

and Michael Joseph McCahn: on the drums, paint brushes and tattoo needles (AND head of RED!)
Photobucket

We are playing Denver cause we WANT TO! we love to play music, there are friends and family to hug. sharing the stage with us at the Hi-Dive Saturday night is, The Swayback that Adam plays with AND Glass Hits, that another of the six VAUX-ers, Greg Daniels, plays in. This is our very own I LOVE VAUX AND DENVER PARTY… you should come!

for more amazing VAUX stuff check out greg’s impressive art books devoted to the magic years on the road…COOL ASS ART JOURNALS

Photobucket
(back in the punk rock parking lot days, the leisure boys WITH greg second from left)

meanwhile, watch the video for ARE YOU WITH ME, a song from their last album “BEYOND VIRTUE, BEYOND VISE” that made it to the end credits of a Travolta film this year (beating out my song THE KEY that was up for it too oddly!). here are the Intenational Men of Leisure virtually mingling with Grease Lightning and Paris!

more good vaux INFO HERE

enjoy and see you soon DENVER!

xMAdMx
p.s. BONUS BONUS! OOOM film & video director TONY STONE is coming to denver for the occasion, cause he has a tribe of amazon women in his family climbing in those mountains! lots of colorado connections! x
p.p.s AND Lipgloss is hosting a fun friday night after FILM party for OOOM INFO HERE

VOLCANIC HUNT Day 1

Cancelled the last two Shows of the OOOM Mini Tour… Gutted. Now on a HUNT …….
First day of Unknown destination began, after our impromptu Lo-Fi Volcanic Cloud Show- waved goodbye to Class of Hope 2010, outside of Notsuri in Helsinki…..
Photobucket

We then boarded a MASSIVE Scandinavian Cruise ship “SilJia Europa” – 12 stories of Restaurants, Casinos, Clubs and Redrum Shinning hallways…………..
Photobucket

As a Baltic Sea sunset echoed the eruption that had grounded us,
Photobucket

we were greeted by an ODD red witch.
good to know she is aboard this ship should we be in need.
Photobucket

little bit of red everywhere – the HEART pumps and pushes us together.
as the cloud gets bigger, i am wondering how many more Impromptu Lo-Fi Volcanic shows we will play.

Heading towards England…………
