Well, we’ve been quiet enough on the old internet front for the last month; so we thought it time that we brought a bit of news your way! Following the release of our double A-Side single ‘talkovertalking | If not, the tide will change’ we’ve been enjoying some solid radio play both north and south of the border including plays on 2FM, Phantom Fm, Cool FM and BBC Radio One. Please feel free to email or text any of the DJs who have the single to keep us in their minds and let them know what you think! Contact details below. The single has also received some favourable reviews which is always nice!
Other than all of that, we are thick into the preparation for our forthcoming release, the highly anticipated debut album – ‘I’ve been here for ages’. Granted the anticipation is mostly on our part, but nonetheless… The album will feature all of our released singles as well as a number of previously unheard titles. We’re very excited about the release and can’t wait to hear what you all think of it! Release date is 3rd August 2009.

** ALBUM LAUNCH GIG – 6^th AUGUST – MENAGERIE, BELFAST.. details to follow… **

To promote the album we’re finallising some dates throughout the North and South for the calendar so look out for a gig near you and please do drop down for a listen! We’ll be sharing the bill on some dates with our good friends Panama Kings and we’ll also be joining the cream of Northern Irish music in Draperstown for this year’s Glasgowbury Festival (25th July) and gracing the same stage as The Super Furry Animals and Ocean Colour Scene when we play the Mitchelstown Festival in Cork on 1st August. All current dates are up on our facebook, myspace and bebo pages –

We’re also in the midst of organising a launch party for the album (which will be available on itunes, amazon, napster etc, 3rd August) and we’re really hoping to throw a big one. So we’ll let you know as soon as we do. We’ll be roping in our favourite local bands to help on the night so expect a good lineup!
We’ll be in touch very soon to fill you in on everything else, so keep us close.

Deuce Management & Promotion has recently collaborated with The Hollywood Music in Media Awards (HMMA); a red carpet event featuring live performances, award presentations, a VIP reception, and a banquet dinner.  This prestigious awards event is NOW ACCEPTING MUSIC SUBMISSIONS FROM BANDS AND ARTISTS ALL AROUND THE WORLD!

The HMMA will be presented on Sunday 22 November 2009 at The Highlands in the world famous Kodak Theater complex in Hollywood , CA .  There will be eight live performances during the awards show featuring nominees and special guest appearances.  The event will also be shot and post-edited for a televised broadcast in 18 countries and US territories reaching an estimated 120 million households .  Last year’s event was a staggering success attended by over 1300 artists, industry professionals, celebrities and music lovers such as Dave Stewart (Eurythmics), Gilby Clarke (Guns n’ Roses), Chuck Negron (Three Dog Night) and Howard Hewett to name only a few. 

HMMA recognizes music based on creative merit rather than artist popularity, airplay, sales or label affiliation.  Using this approach, it offers talented artists from all over the world exposure and connectivity to the most influential professionals and organizations in the music industry and the "music licensing machine" of Hollywood .

The HMMA is now searching for nominees for nearly all music categories and, to perform at this year’s event.  The HMMA will review submissions by committee and select nominees monthly, ensuring all submissions are evaluated in a timely manner.  Nominees will then be selected and posted after each monthly session.  July submissions are now being accepted and deadline is midnight on Friday 31 July 2009. Details on registering for the HMMA can be found by clicking on the banner below.

This is a fantastic opportunity to have your music listened to by some of the top music industry figures in the world with the chance of performing to them and millions of people too. Additionally, bands and artists registered with Deuce Management & Promotion will have links to their music forwarded directly to the selections committee and producers once your on-line music submissions are confirmed by the HMMA so you can be seen as an example of the high standard of bands and artists promoted by Deuce.

During the weekend of the HMM Awards, the Music in Media Interactive Conference (MIMICON) , will take place (Nov. 20 to 22) at the landmark Renaissance Hollywood Hotel.  In conjunction with the HMMA, MIMICON is one of the most anticipated music events of the fall, designed to inform, educate, entertain and provide REAL opportunities for conference attendees.  This three day affair will feature top industry luminaries focusing on what artists and entertainment professionals need to know to get their music in film, TV, video games, movie trailers, commercials and other forms of contemporary media.  Artists, composers, producers and song-writers will be given the unique opportunity to pitch their work directly to the professionals that place and license music.  MIMICON is now open for early-bird registration.

Artists and industry people will also receive HUGE discounts on tickets, conference registrations and hotel rooms for the events if referred to by Deuce before Friday 31 July 2009.  Please email rob@deucemp.com for further information on this.

On this second anniversary of PAS, we’re treated to another appearance from White Rhino, a local band hailing from Charleston.

This is the first time  their new bass player, John Kennedy, has performed with the band.

They played songs from their E.P ‘Home Again’  and many more besides, but alas, they didn’t bring any copies of ‘Home Again’  with them, as Aaron Levy explained, holding up a batch of CD covers, with no CDs….

Still a great set nonetheless, and a plea to go buy the CD anyway!

Sitting here in Muddy Waters Coffee Shop in West Ashley, listening to David Berkeley who hails from Atlanta, Georgia.

This evening is another in the excellent Palmetto Acoustic Series, which takes place every other Thursday.

We’re just about three songs into his set, and a most pleasant voice he has, with interesting lyrics.

He has got 4 CDs on sale at the current time, and is performing some from each of these albums in this fifty minute session.

His latest album “Strange Light” can be obtained by clicking on the album cover above.

David finished his set with three songs that he performed off-mic.  As he has such a pleasing voice, which carries well, in this fairly small listening room, his vocal talents still amply filled the room.

Hope you’re having a good summer.  I just wanted to let you know about some gigs I’ve got here in Charleston, SC and then about a small tour to NY in August….

First off, every Wednesday night I’m playing at this cool, little, Italian restaurant called Pane E Vino here in Charleston, SC.  I play out on the patio and it is the perfect atmosphere for listening to acoustic music with a fine meal.  I’m really enjoying it.  I play from 7-10pm.  It’s downtown, off of upper king street, at 17 Warren street.  Come say hello.

Also, the second week of August, I’ll be coming up to NY.  I’ll be playing the Bellini Lounge in Mayville, the College Club at Chautauqua Institution, and the Universal Church of Love’s Bluegrass Festival in Connellsville, PA.  And a few other dates might be added.

Overall, life is good.  Still working on my current cd at Echo Mountain studios in Asheville, NC which I can’t wait to get to you at some point.  And diving more into the music scene here in the low country (but still occasionally visiting my roots in the north).   Hope to see you soon,

Kev
