About Josh Jacobson

Dive into the cooling waters of jazz and pop harmonies with Josh Jacobson and his self-proclaimed genre, future soul. Preaching words of love and love lost, Josh’s uncanny ability to project his innermost thoughts through a blissful stream of post-electronic vibes is unmatched by his peers.

This Brooklyn-based singer-songwriter producer and instrumentalist was raised on the piano bench, where he learned from the works of legends like Stevie Wonder, Bill Evans and Bach. Coming into his own musicianship as a producer and solo artist, Josh has looked to ODESZA, M83, Bonobo and many others as mentors of a similar essence who all are on the same frequency when it comes to combining elements of electronic music with game-changing live performances.

Look out for Josh’s new single, “Fence” — out August 25.

About Gridline

Five years in the making, Gridline continues to captivate audiences with their high-octane blend of funk, soul, and rock and roll. Their upcoming full-length debut album, Soul Brew, is a culminating snapshot of a live band in motion. The eight original songs on the record were developed over years of performing late night sets as the house band of NYC’s historic club, The Bitter End. The album also features notable contributions from established members of the extended Gridline family, including vocalist Corey Glover (Living Colour), Kim Miller (The Skatalites), Joel Thome (Frank Zappa), Mike Soprano (Streetlight Manifesto), and the Scorchio Quartet (David Bowie).

Founded in New York in 2012, kindred spirits Dan Kottmann (guitars, lead vocals) and Andrew Yanchyshyn (bass, vocals) found common ground on their local college music scene at SUNY Purchase. Together, they formed a band and caught attention through organizing and headlining DIY psychedelic sets at campus venues that they converted for live performances. After years of East Coast touring and lineup changes, the group has expanded to include Syracuse musician Neal Spitzer (saxophones, EWI), a tour-de-force on the saxophone and in the writing studio, Zach Schepis (guitars vocals), the missing lyrical link that now bonds them together, and recently, the addition of powerhouse Queens-based drummer Dorsey “Sky” Parker.

Featured in Relix Magazine as up-and-coming artists, the band has been nationally recognized as something of a rarity in today’s music scene. With members of varying ages and experiences, each musician contributes to a diverse sound that is equal parts energetic and refined. The band has opened for artists such as Iggy Azalea, Galactic, Max Creek, Kung Fu, Sister Sparrow & The Dirty Birds, and The Nigel Hall Band, and continues to set their sights higher and higher.

Stay tuned for the September 2017 release of Soul Brew, with tour dates and more announcements to follow.

About Ben Hazlewood


Ben Hazlewood is a fiercely independent singer and songwriter who has the experience of someone twice his age, and a broad love of music that makes his own something timeless and wholly distinctive amidst a sea of aspiring voices. 



Hazlewood’s EP, Vanta, was released on June 3rd, 2016 and featured the singles “Wanted” and “Paint Me Black ft. Mali Koa Hood”. Tracks from the EP were also featured in a series of live recordings from Ocean Way in Nashville which earned Hazlewood the acclaim of “one of the best vocal performances of the entire decade” from PopDust.  


Ben’s follow up EP, EOS, premiered on Purevolume on May 4th, 2017. The Australia-based singer views the two EPs as a collective album.



“Eos is the Greek goddess of dawn. The theme behind these two EPs is it’s always darkest before the dawn,” says Hazlewood. “The instrumentals and lyrics throughout Eos highlight the hope and peace in an otherwise dark and desperate place. There is always some light to hold on to no matter how faint it is.”

This Wednesday, October 11 on SuicideGirls Radio, host Bradley Suicide will be joined by the mastermind behind the massive metal band Dethklok, Brendon Small, who’ll be talking about his new album, Galaktikon II: Become The Storm.

You can listen – and watch – SuicideGirls Radio live on Wednesday nights from 8 til 9 PM at our state-of-the-art, all digital home on zinna.tv.

**UPDATE***

Watch our show feat. Brendon Small here or via the player below.

About Brendon Small / Dethklok


Brendon Small – the mastermind behind massive metal band Dethklok and albums The Dethalbum (the highest-charting death metal album ever on the Billboard Top 200 chart), Dethalbum II, Dethalbum III and Metalocalypse: The Doomstar Requiem — has been teasing a new chapter of his popular Galaktikon saga for months. After spending the past two years writing and recording new material and dropping random hints throughout the media and at appearances, the wait is over.
 
This year, marking the 10 year anniversary of his breakout Dethklok release, The Dethalbum, Brendon Small will reveal his upcoming high-stakes intergalactic extreme rock/metal album, Galaktikon II: Become The Storm, to the masses. The album will be released via physical and digital retailers on August 25, 2017 (Megaforce Records/MRI), with digital pre-orders set to become available Friday, June 2.
 
Galaktikon II: Become The Storm follows the space-age theme of 2012’s original Galaktikon album, with a conceptual storyline and a heavier, darker, more brutal sound. In addition to Brendon Small on vocals and guitar, the new album will feature acclaimed musicians and Dethklok alum Bryan Beller (bass/The Aristocrats, Dweezil Zappa, Steve Vai) and Gene Hoglan (drums/Testament, Death, Dark Angel). Galaktikon II: Become The Storm was co-produced by Small and Grammy-nominated producer/engineer Ulrich Wild, who also worked behind the board on the Dethklok albums.
 
With these names behind the project, it should come as no surprise that Galaktikon II: Become The Storm is a welcomed transformation and expansion of the sound that put Brendon Small on the musical map. With uncapped time and creativity on their side, Small & Co. were able to reach above and beyond what fans have come to expect as of now. Galaktikon II: Become The Storm proves to be Small’s most commanding release yet.
 
“This record is a combination of all the sounds I’ve been making throughout my creative life,” says Brendon Small. “It’s as heavy as I want it to be and melodic as I want it to be — it’s the bigger, darker record I wanted to hear. And what a way to celebrate my 10 year anniversary of making metal with Gene, Bryan and Ulrich, some of the best in the industry. I’m excited to have it live inside listeners’ heads and let their imaginations take over!”
 
Fans should anticipate plenty of early tidbits, such as track leaks and videos, leading up to the release of Galaktikon II: Become The Storm, so stay tuned!
 
Elsewhere in the universe of Brendon Small, Albatross Funnybooks recently announced GALAKTIKON!, a six-issue series of comic books launching this August based on the original Galaktikon album. The series will be written by Brendon Small and five-time Eisner Award winner and Albatross founder Eric Powell. Powell will also be contributing cover art with interior art by Steve Mannion of Fearless Dawn and Spook House. More details coming soon!

For Your Consideration — FREE Screening & Q&A on Oct 15 in DTLA

Join us this coming Monday, October 15, for the Los Angeles premiere of For Your Consideration Movie, a short film documentary which tells the story behind Plastic Jesus and Ginger’s “Casting Couch” installation.

"For Your Consideration" Trailer from Patrick Green on Vimeo.

The life-sized statue, which appeared on Hollywood’s Walk of Fame in time for the 90th Academy Awards earlier this year, took aim at Harvey Weinstein and the culture of cover up that allowed sexually predatory and abusive behavior — as brought to task by the #MeToo movement — to permeate Tinsel Town on a massive scale.

“Casting Couch” by Plastic Jesus and Ginger

The event, which runs from 7.30 til 9.30 PM at LA’s Downtown Independent, and will include a panel discussion after the screening with artists Plastic Jesus and Ginger, #MeToo activist Dawn Dunning, and filmmaker Patrick Green. The panel will be moderated by journalist, activist, and SGR host Nicole Powers. The event is FREE. Reserve your tickets HERE.

About For Your Consideration

Harvey Weinstein unexpectedly crept back into Hollywood just in time for the 90th Academy Awards. Los Angeles-based street artist Plastic Jesus teamed up with sculptor Ginger to create “Casting Couch”, a golden statue of the disgraced movie producer, clad in matching bathrobe and slippers, sitting on a chaise lounge, while provocatively holding an Academy Award trophy.

Directed by filmmaker Patrick Green, For Your Consideration follows the making of the “Casting Couch” with exclusive footage that details the blood, sweat, and duct tape it takes to make a built-to-scale street art installation which conveys a bigger than life-sized message:

“For many years the exploitation of many hopefuls and established names in the industry was brushed under the carpet with their complaints of harassment and sexual abuse being ignored or worse,” says Plastic Jesus. “Hopefully, now in the light of recent allegations against many leading figures in Hollywood the industry will clean up its act.”

The 20 minute documentary explores the reaction to the satirical, thought-provoking art piece, which went viral and was covered by Time, Vice, Vogue, The Hollywood Reporter, Variety, and all the major domestic broadcast networks and many worldwide. The installation also featured on countless social media timelines just as the Las Vegas-based Ginger had hoped:

“The whole concept was for it to be an interactive art piece. Everyone wants a selfie, everyone wants to be part of the experience, but this isn’t about grabbing headlines, we wanted to have a message behind it.”

For Your Consideration also tracks how activist art like the “Casting Couch” can affect culture through interviews with Dawn Dunning (one of the original women to speak out about her encounter with Weinstein), feminist street artist MegZany, and right-wing guerrilla artist Sabo.

The Harvey Weinstein “Casting Couch” is the second collaboration between Ginger (best known for his naked Donald Trump sculptures) and Plastic Jesus, a former photojournalist turned pop culture provocateur, whose annual Oscar’s art pieces (coke snorting Oscar, False Idol Kanye West) have become as much a part of Academy Awards season as Hollywood’s elite pandering for golden trophies.
