A Beautiful Curse - BIOGRAPHY
Electronic/Dance/DJ/Rock
 
A BEAUTIFUL CURSE was officially born in 2004 by freelance musician/producer Kenny James (who has worked with George Clinton and the P-Funk All Stars, 24-7 Spyz, Celldweller, The Samples, and so many more). The CURSE started as a part time project combining emotional/dramatic rock, electronica, and the downtempo/trip hop movement, but has since evolved into a full-time monster.

Initially designed primarily for film soundtracks and music licensing (t.v. commercials, video games, etc.), A BEAUTIFUL CURSE is now a full-scale music project backing the debut cd "As It Should Be" released the summer of 2009. Yet, no matter its design, it's truly dream-music from the heart and soul. A collision of groove and mood for the senses.

Justin Honaman - BIOGRAPHY
Contemporary Christian/Country

When Justin Honaman gets enthusiastic about a cause, he makes things happen. In September 2009, Justin released the first single “Let Go and Let God” off his upcoming Contemporary Christian album. The album, set for release in early 2010, will feature powerful, faith-filled tracks, along with several cross-over Country tracks, all written and recorded by Justin in Atlanta, Georgia.

In 2006, Justin released his debut Country music album “Saturday in the South!” Along with this release, Justin established the Makin’ Magic Happen Campaign for Kids to benefit Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA). Proceeds from album sales benefit this amazing children’s health organization.

Justin’s style can best be described as witty, fun and upbeat, just like the artist himself! For more information, visit www.honaman.com



Bardo - BIOGRAPHY
Rock/Alternative
Bardo.jpg
The punky pop rock sounds of BARDO come to you from the belly of LA.  Where the rubber meets the spit that slimes the road to the stars. Where the desolate desert touches the sparkling pacific.  Where gurus and lawyers do lunch and art and commerce get married and divorced on a daily basis.  We spawn from this arena of sun and scum and….we like it here!

BARDO band members:

KOREL TUNADOR (Guitar) of GOO GOO DOLLS fame joins BARDO as lead guitarist!

DAVE JOHNSTON is BARDO’s expert drummer.  Johnstone also plays and tours with The Dan Band, lead by comedian actor/comedian Dan Finnerty.

CHUCK BRAMLET is BARDO’s bass player.  Bramlet is widely respected in L.A.’s independent music scene and acknowledged for excellence in bass playing and songwriting.

BARDO is the creation of front woman LESLIE KING.
"Somebody somewhere said you need a disquise.." that's KING:  totally accessible, deceptively simple, supposedly fragile, but with a surprising undercurrent of steely resolve and unwavering strength as a writer. 

King's voice follows a similar trajectory. Beginning impressions are of a childlike purity and gentleness that unexpectedly shifts into confidence and a sensual swagger.

Her musical influences include an interesting blend of 60's rock and Motown pop, resulting in a unique writing style that reflects tremendous soul and sensitivity.

BARDO's debut album "Recurring Dream" is a must listen.
King rediscovers her voice and aptitude for rock and roll as front woman to BARDO which is, no question, a welcome addition to the rock and roll landscape.
