Lani Ford — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 08:35:32 +0100

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

New York, July 5, 2008--NYC rock trio STARK announces their new line-up. STARK has officially replaced Josette with guitarist and engineer/co-producer, Sonic Joe Hogan. Also, Sweet Rob Endemann has left the band to raise a family in Florida, so Eric Rock �n Robel, formerly with Heroin Sheiks and Nova Express, has joined the group. STARK�s sophomore album Put It To Your Head, released January 26th is continuing to receive great press and radio, with recent reviews in Big Takeover and Devolution plus on the Soundcheck Magazine and Street Voice UK websites.

STARK�s song �Disturbed� is featured on Bubblegum Slutzine�s Summer CD Sampler and �OH NO!� has just been selected for a Women in Rock compilation CD and added into rotation on Indie 104 radio. �18 Again� will be re-released on the upcoming Wicked Cool Records compilation CD Goldie�s Garage, Volume 1 thanks to Genya Ravan and her two Sirius Radio shows.

STARK�s debut CD The Curse is still getting attention with play on Joey Stuckey�s Audio Style and A Quiet Time podcast. Lani Ford participated in Make Music New York again this year with a solo acoustic performance at La Guardia Corner Gardens and performed in the 3rd Annual Dynamic Music Fest July 6th in Long Island. Lani Ford has interviews featured on Indiegrrl.com and Bassgirls.com and STARK has just received an artist endorsement from Daisy Rock.

While on tour in the UK, STARK met a band broken down on the motorway and instantly befriended Lilith�s Army who will join STARK for 5 dates at the end of September, including Fontana�s and Otto�s Shrunken Head in NYC, Champs in Trenton, NJ and more.

STARK has enough material for at least 2 future records to be produced sooner than later with a lot of funny, disturbing, moving, and inspiring material out there and demos are already being recorded. For more, check out the official website www.starknyc.com or www.myspace.com/stark.

STARK's Lani Ford at Make Music New York and more STARK news

Lani Ford — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 02:13:25 +0100

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

New York, May 23, 2008�STARK�s Lani Ford at Make Music New York June 21st.

Lani Ford will participate in Make Music New York again this year with a solo acoustic performance at LaGuardia Corner Gardens on LaGuardia between Houston and W. 3rd Street in Manhattan June 21st 3pm-4pm. Hot off the heels of the release of the sophomore album, Put It To Your Head in January, and a UK tour in March, Lani Ford will play an hour�s worth of solo acoustic material, including some brand new songs, for MMNY which is a day of live music outdoors all over the city. Last year, STARK shocked and awed the crowd outside of Otto�s Shrunken Head.

STARK recently received excellent reviews in Big Takeover and Devolution Magazines plus great online reviews on the Soundcheck-Magazine and Streetvoice UK sites. STARK has been receiving praise from the amazing Genya Ravan on her two radio shows, Goldie�s Garage and Chicks and Broads on Sirius Radio, Channel 25, for the song �18 Again.� STARK will soon be featured on the upcoming Wicked Cool Records compilation release Goldie�s Garage, Volume 1. Also, STARK�s song �OH NO!� has been receiving a lot of airplay on Radio Gets Wild in the UK.

On Put It To Your Head, deep-fried, Texas-sized vocals dripping with underground New York attitude jars the senses with catchy hooks and cool licks. It�s sweet blues-country soul colliding with charming poetic punk rock angst. All 10 songs are written by Lani Ford. STARK�s debut CD The Curse is still getting attention with �Wrong Guy� just added to rotation on Joey Stuckey�s Audio Style on Engage Internet Radio. A Quiet Time podcast has also recently played songs from both albums. Versailles Records and Bubblegum Slutzine will both feature STARK on their upcoming compilation CD�s.

STARK�s upcoming gigs include The El Bar in Philadelphia June 19th 8pm, Arlene�s Grocery July 17th 11pm and WTSR and The Record Collector in New Jersey in late July/early August. On a bittersweet note, drummer Sweet Rob Endemann will be leaving the band in June because he�s gonna be a new daddy and moving away. They welcome new drummer Eric Robel from Heroin Sheiks and Nova Express.

Mark Cloutier plays guitar into his computer at home in East Syracuse. If you haven't already, I hope you get the chance to read my story about East Syracuse guitarist Mark Cloutier's success since he decided to jump into the worldwide online music community.

Here's a list of the links I mentioned in the story. Just click and explore.

And, here's a link for a forum set up by Cloutier's English online mentor, guitarist Nigel Potter. It's called the Anubes.

Here's a song bite from "New English Blues I," one of three tracks on J.C. Carroll's CD that uses Cloutier's guitar work.

Guitarist Mark Cloutier smiles about his part on the CD "New English Blues" by British veteran J.C. Carroll.

He thinks it's cool that his work is getting radio play on the BBC.

Reviews in the United Kingdom have been hot. "In the tradition of the Who's 'Tommy' and Pink Floyd's 'Dark Side of the Moon,' this magnificent album explores the melancholy and outrage that is at the heart of the English psyche," wrote a reviewer in the newspaper London Music.

And to think that the Central New York bluesman did it all without leaving the simple home studio - which cost $200 - he set up in his home in East Syracuse.

The only way Cloutier and Carroll have ever met is online.

"We developed a mutual friendship through musicians' Web sites," Cloutier says.

They've traded music back and forth with MP3 files, a computer format that allows music to be sent online.

As soon as Carroll heard Cloutier's distinctive guitar sound, he wanted to include him on his album.

"The Internet is rammed full of guys in their bedrooms uploading their shredding on guitar," Carroll writes, appropriately enough, in an e-mail from London. "Although Mark mainly plays the blues, he has something about his sound that is unique, and you can tell it is him straight away."

Carroll used Cloutier's guitar work on three of the dozen songs on the CD.
