"cHoclat FRoG" is a german progressiverock studio-duo featuring Rainer Ludwig (vocals/drums/keys) and Tim Ludwig (bass/guitar).
Both members have been playing together since 2003 after the 70's progger Rainer encouraged his daughter's boyfriend to play bass and gradually got him hooked about the prog genre too. After some years of playing together with many groove studies, they founded with guitarist Christof Engel the trio "The STOCK" in 2010 (For more Info follow link: https://thestock2010.bandcamp.com/releases). This formation has been moved from more elementary rock primarily to progressive rock music through the years.
After "The Stock" finished their works on the album "Humanize" in 2017, Christof Engel decided to leave the band. As Drum and Bass Duo Tim and Rainer (meanwhile father and son- in- law) needed a new alignment . So they started to record their ideas directly without composing by using conventional rehearsals. The results were good and each of them began to engage new instruments. This is how "cHoclat FRoG" was born and their debut album „Snapshot“.

Grey Mouse is a psychedelic rock band from Russia with a rich history and diverse back catalogue. It was founded in Moscow in late 1990s by Alexey Chunikhin, who has since been the only constant part of the collective as it went through multiple musical experiments and lineup changes.

Sticking to its recognizable depressive-psychedelic style, Grey Mouse have gradually expanded their range through unorthodox grunge and etno-laced stoner blues to atmospheric extramundane chamber rock.

Bio continue...
During its existence, with a different composition of its members, the band has recorded and released five studio albums "No masks" - 2005 (CD-Jagi Jagi Records, Russia), "Blind&Ugly" of 2008 (CD-BRP records, Russia), "Trip" of 2013 (CD-BRP records, Russia; LP - 69WATT, ANAZITISI Records Greece),  “Animalism”  of 2015 (CD- Soyuz_music), “Gaddafi's Crying” – 2015 г. (Soyuz music). The band gives a large number of live performances in Moscow and other cities, participates in various festivals, preserving and maintaining its own style.
The band is not afraid of experiments. Along with the song-like genre, Grey Mouse is also actively experimenting with noise and background music. The band also collaborated with the Film Club, "Art Cinema" (Moscow), making live voicing of silent movie masterpieces of the early 20th century (the so-called "live film shows").
The band tape-records their albums at the studio in A. Bochko Center for Arts and Creativity. An instrumental song called “Snow (Spiral Walk)” from the album “Trip” got into the musical collection “Psychedelic World Music, Discovery, vol. 1” of the "Trail Records"(USA) label. The collection covers the psychedelic genre embracing bands from all over the world (the official release (on CD) was on August 6, 2012). “Trip” was also released on vinyl at the Greek label “69 WATT” (Anazitisi Records) in June 2014. 
The two albums: “Animalism” and “Gaddafi's Crying” were released by the Russian label "Soyuz music". A compilation of the tracks from these albums was released on records (under the name “Twisted Tango”) by the Greek label “Musicbazz” 
Today Grey Mouse has finished recording its new album “A Moment of Weakness”. The band's new material is characterized by smooth and charismatic male vocal framed by laid back country/blues guitar passages and gothic cello sounds. These confessional and pensive compositions inspire meditation and bring about deep thoughts about hidden dimensions of human existence. Mysterious and brooding music of Grey Mouse hypnotizes and absorbs.

Fire Garden is Progressive Rock Band from Chicago.  New album 'Sound  of Majestic Colors' is OUT NOW Order your copy www.firegardenmusic.com/shop 

ank Flight Band is the culmination of a seventeen year long journey into the sub-underground hinterland of psychedelic music, by a disaffected group of musicians, still in thrall to the spirit of the long dead 60’s, but firmly rooted in the here and now. Their trip took them from the West Coast of America, to the (North) West Coast of England, via San Franciscan freak-outs, English folk-whimsy, detours into blues rock and all points in between. On a voyage featuring a cast of characters and locations straight out of a Kafka novel and in search of the fountain head of all things unconventional, The Frank Flight Band ran the gamut of bizarre episodes, bruised and battered egos, unscrupulous record companies, apocryphal gigs

Laura Casale grew up on Long Island, New York. She was a piano player from the very beginning, who was “born to play music.” Classically trained, Laura, early in her career, keenly listened to innovative British Rock bands, such as Yes and Emerson Lake and Palmer, as well as highly skilled American progressive bands, such as Kansas, and was inspired. 

Her musical and vocal versatility have given her opportunities to play both as a solo performer, as well as with many different bands and in many venues throughout the years in New York, the Northwest states, and California. She’s performed at many private events including on the Queen Mary in Long Beach, a Governor’s ball for the state of Montana, numerous exclusive parties for Banks, Corporations, airline executive parties, and numerous restaurant venues! 

Laura has always loved to write music and lyrics. She has found much of her inspiration through nature and spirituality. She has spent the last 10 years learning the ropes of Recording Engineering in her own home studio in San Diego and has finally completed her first album project of original songs, called “Now Is Where You Are”.  

Much like her musical influences of the past, Laura’s music holds messages of her own life’s journey.  It is her desire to share her journey, through her music, to bring enlightenment, enjoyment, love and peace to those that need a little relief from life’s struggles.  It is her hope that through her music, the soul of the listener will find peace, take wing, and be uplifted to a higher plain.
