The address to contact if You are interested in submitting information or material to us here at ArtFRONT is on the www.ArtFRONT.com homepage. For artists to receive promotion or articles in the main music section (this page,) we ideally need to be able to hear their recordings & see a live performance. We do need more people reporting Concert Reviews from all over the planet. And we'll try to give all “Listening Room” candidates a listen. Send an e-mail and we'll get back ASAP and see what we can work out. If You are interested in performing in the Southeastern U.S. be sure to check out the “venues” link.

You can link up from wherever You are & listen to WUTC 88.1 FM Chattannooga, Tennessee. There's lots of N.P.R. programming here. WDVX, one of the last fortresses of Real Country music. Not the artificial diesel smoke flavored generic commercialism that's being pumped out of Nashville. & the “Live 365″ online broadcast by “RadioMike” out of New York City. It is well worth jumping through the hoops to sign up and listen to his unbroken playlist, which includes a lot of new artists I've never heard of with old traditionals mixed in. Once I figure out a fair way to judge which radio Stations deserve the accolades inherent in being included in ArtFRONT's Music Section I will set up a page which lists all of the best, most innovative, influential, groundbreaking, whatever….stations that people send me evidence of as being worthy.

A band called “Up With The Joneses” Has been around for a number of years making their brand of party music synonomous with high energy fun times in “The Scenic City of the South.” I would call their style of music “Speed Funk”……..or something of that nature. Since ArtFRONT has been getting quite a few hits from people searching for “Up With The Joneses” of late, I thought I’d resurrect this article from last year and add some important updated information about Chattanooga's premier party band.

has become one of the grand flag bearers of the improvisational music movement on an international level. “Improv,” which was, and still is to a large degree, music which comes about as a spontaneous event. Rooted in modern jazz and experimentation, the music being presented by these sonic pioneers seems to have become more sophisticated and compositional in nature. This could be due to the fact that these guys have been at it for nearly 20 years. The Shaking Rays have become more than just a musical group. Their educational and artistic community projects are highly documented….

from Chattanooga. perform live regularly around here. They have one very good song titled “Vacant Innocence” on a local compilation disk “Chattanooga Market, Songs from the Southside” They're still working on their first full length CD in a Nashville studio.

Charles' songwriting has a strange, tingly effect on me. The songs are SO melodious and almost too sweet for most of my rock 'n roll pals, But the guy really has got soul and a wonderful voice. You can listen to most all of his recorded music (minus my very favorite cuts from the “Braced in the Beams” CD) through his website, which is linked through “The Listening Room.”

GFE is more serious, style & socially conscious than MC Frontalot and obsessive over their particular brand of space age spirituality. G.F.E .,which also stands for “God Force Energy” amongst many other things is a REAL touring band with drums, guitars, & horns as well as the large posse of hip hop DJ and rapper personas who take turns dishing out the jams. Rumor has it they recently shared the stage with George Clinton in New Orleans who also appears on their newest CD “Bigger than it Really Is”

MC Frontalot., isn't what I would've branded “nerdcore” but he sure claims he is, over & over in his music which I won't call just “rap” because it's way too musical, and the home made digital production is top notch. It's a hoot & well worth a listen. Someone I turned on to MC Frontalot said it sounds like if Zappa were a rapper. This proves that white people can be funny & have serious rhythm too.

They have some excellent young recording techs from the MTSU recording cabal working with them.. ( MTSU, a state university just south of Nashville with a big recording industry curriculum.) Their beautifully hand made EP “Searching for the Crank Tank” Starts out sounding like “Primus” but progresses through several different heavy styles.
