APRAXIA
Minneapolis, Minnesota

I'm Siren313 aka Alex V, born 1974 in Detroit. Mom was born in Germany, etc. I grew up in SW Detroit in the 80s. My community was working class and very multicultural. I grew listening to Classic Rock, Motown, New Wave, Swing, Electro-Funk, and Early Hip Hop. I was also influenced by the music of the many cultures that expressed themselves in my community growing up. Incidentally, Jack White was a classmate of mine.
My first CD came out in 1995, but I put out tapes earlier than that and was even played on the radio as early as 1993. I published a few full length CDs and was featured on a string of compilation CDs in the 90s and 00s. I also scored and did the music direction for a cult movie called "Shadows on the Wall" which most notably featured the music of Stromkern.
I've collaborated with Gabe Gonzales from the PFUNK All-Stars, Lolly-Pop and Hard Electro guru ENDIF. I've played shows with Shiny Toy Guns, All the Pretty Horses, Caustic, Screaming Mechanical Brain and many others.
Now I live in Minneapolis. Since moving here I published the most recent and most popular CD in my catalog, "Trite Permission". Since then, a single, "Stop" has been released.
I do 99% of my recording in my home studio and I am unsigned. So if you like what you hear, please consider ordering a CD. I hope you enjoy the time you spend reviewing my work. Peace and Solidarity.

RED ROAD CROSSING is born from the meeting of 2 cultures:The Native American One and Rock culture. This mix of Rock and Indian way of life make something new in the Rock history. This band has seen the light when Thierry Sorondo (ex-guitar player of the french hard rock band High Power) and Laurent Brun Lafferrere meet during a festival of Country music in France. They decided to compose certain songs for this first Album called "Medicine Man".
Thierry is musical professor and composer for different artists in France and decided at this time to come back to his first love the Hard Rock. This Album is dedicated to all Indian Nations and First People that resist. The songs talk about how the Native American struggle inside this contemporary America and about their spiritual way of life. Actually,Indians people are fighting to keep their Dreams and the Sacred together.

The OTT Band

Well, that starts with me - Tony Tarr from Tooting or 'TT' as my friends call me. I've been sitting at home with my trusty guitar writing songs for a few years now. I'd been to studios with a few producers before and had always come out with a load of rubbish but last year I got given the number of this guy Pete in Streatham, went round his place with my little 8-track, downloaded a song, gave him some general instructions and ideas and left him to it. A few days later he called me and I shot round there, feeling excited as I had felt this guy would be different from the potato-heads I had wasted my time and spondulicks with before. He whacked on the song and sure enough - what a load of shit - I thought. So I said, "Tell you what, Pete, do 4 more hours on it... turn that up... that down...". A few days later Pete called again and I went back. He put it on and.. WOW! - that's my sound! - and for the first time I knew I had a song ("Do You Wanna?") and we have not looked back
Once we had 10 songs sorted I stuck an ad in Loot and started putting together a band.
The line-up of the band currently includes:
Kevin - bass, Kingsley - drums, Chris - Sax, Roy and Ash - Trumpets, Linda and Jasmine - keyboards, Karl - guitars, Anna and me on vocals plus extra musos when there's room on stage. Have a listen to what we sound like on the JUKEBOX page. Hope you like it, and if you do, come and see us somewhere LIVE soon.
Thanks,
TT and the OTT Band
