“Finish Ticket is the perfect example of modern indie rock. They have an intense energy and joy playing the music, with a heavy focus on guitar.”
– Luckbox Magazine (“The Best Rock at Lollapalooza 2023”)

Alt rock group FINISH TICKET are excited to release their second full-length album ECHO AFTERNOON today, September 6, via Better Noise Music. Co-produced by the band alongside Jim Kaufman (Atlas Genius, Helmet, Danny Worsnop) and Michael Coleman (Chappell Roan, Sure Sure, Em Beihold), ECHO AFTERNOON’s 12 tracks show the band at their most vulnerable as they take listeners on an emotional roller coaster narrating the struggles and anxiety of being stuck in limbo while trying to find an escape to a brighter future. The band have shared four tracks from the album–“Changing,” “Let You Go,” “Float Away,” and “Peace of Mind”– all of which underline their melodic flair, engagingly upbeat rhythms, and vocalist Brendan Hoye’s wide-ranging vocals.

FINISH TICKET have shared a new music video for “Bad Times,” a song which inspires hope in finding happiness and love after overcoming past failed relationships and dark times. The band recently encountered some “bad times” of their own after their tour van died while they were en route for the first night of their tour with Nico Vega in July. Hoye was able to overcome the hiccup and hitch a ride with Nico Vega and complete the tour solo with just an acoustic guitar. Watch the “Bad Times” music video now via YouTube HERE or streaming below.

“This album was difficult for us,” shares vocalist Brendan Hoye. “Many walls to scale and pits to climb from. We are relieved and proud to have it out in the world, and have our family, friends, and fans to thank for sticking with us and supporting us through the process. We hope you enjoy this record. In our opinion, it is best listened to from sunset to dusk. And LOUD.”

ECHO AFTERNOON is available via CD, Vinyl, and digital download. Get it now at https://finishticket.ffm.to/echoafternoon

FINISH TICKETHoye, Alex DiDonato (guitar), Gabe Stein (drums), and Ryan Blair (bass)— made their debut late-night TV performance on “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” following the release of their 2014 debut album Tears You Apart (Atlantic Records) and a wave of sold-out shows across the Bay Area.

In 2019, FINISH TICKET self-released their hit track “Dream Song,” which garnered over 4.2 million streams and saw the band embark on a successful headlining tour, selling out multiple venues across the country. Then COVID hit in 2020 and brought everything to a halt.

After spending the past three years writing and recording their second full-length album, Echo Afternoon, FINISH TICKET signed a record deal with Better Noise Music. This was supported by a U.S. run with The Beaches followed by a summer long tour which included a performance at Lollapalooza (alongside headlining acts Billie Eilish and Karol G) and Arizona’s Innings Fest.

IAN GOTHE & FERNANDO PERDOMO Announce ‘NEVER LET GO’–A TRIBUTE TO CAMEL; Share Two Songs From Album

DT: SEPTEMBER 6, 2024

FM: KELLY WALSH/MITCH SCHNEIDER, SRO PR

IAN GOTHE & FERNANDO PERDOMO
SET TO RELEASE
‘NEVER LET GO’—A TRIBUTE TO CAMEL
ON SEPTEMBER 27
VIA THINK LIKE A KEY MUSIC

REVEAL TWO SONGS:
THE TITLE TRACK
“NEVER LET GO”
(ORIGINALLY RELEASED BY CAMEL IN 1973)
&
“CITY LIFE”
(ORIGINALLY RELEASED BY CAMEL IN 1981)
PAIRED WITH A FUTURISTIC ANIMATED VIDEO

If you Google the band Camel, it will lead you into a rabbit hole of discovery about the ‘70s British prog rock band. While they didn’t achieve mass success, the group has been viewed by enthusiasts as unsung heroes of the genre, leaving their mark on artists like Marillion and Steven Wilson.

And now, two modern-day American virtuosos, IAN GOTHE and FERNANDO PERDOMO, have taken 11 iconic Camel tracks and given them a fresh makeover on NEVER LET GO—A Tribute to Camel. Due out September 27 via the Think Like A Key Music label, the 11-track sonic oasis features imaginative takes on the band’s classics like “Never Let Go” (from 1973) “Air Born” (1976), and “City Life” (1981). See the album’s track listing below. Pre-order NEVER LET GO—A Tribute to Camel at https://tlak.rocks/neverletgo.

GOTHE and PERDOMO share two new samples of the reimagined tracks: the stimulating single/title track “Never Let Go”—out digitally now HERE—and an animated video for “City Life,” which can be seen streaming below or via YouTube HERE.

From devoted Camel-ites to prog neophytes, NEVER LET GO offers something for everyone. It’s not just a tribute; it’s a love letter to prog rock, a masterclass in musicianship, and a journey through time and space. It’s where Prog Past Meets Prog Future.

“I was fortunate to be induced to Camel’s music at a young age and it greatly affected me at every level,” says IAN. “Camel’s music became the soundtrack to my life.  Whenever I meet another Camel fan, as I did while working on a shorter cover of Camel’s ‘Air Born’ on my album Memento with Fernando, I found another soul who had been touched by this music as deeply as I had.  Making a Camel tribute album has been a long-time dream of mine and now just seemed like a natural progression for us to make it happen together.  Our ultimate hope and goal? That this project will continue to give Camel’s gift of music to new ears, so that Camel’s talent, message and efforts never die.”

“When I started working on Ian’s Memento album, I was delighted to see that it had a Camel cover,” explains FERNANDO. “We have since bonded on our love of Camel, Steve Hackett, and other melodic progressive rock bands. To hear Camel is to love Camel. Unfortunately, not enough people have even heard of Camel, especially in the States. So making this record will hopefully help shine a light on the amazing music the band has made in their five-decade history. Ian and I are just two massive Camel fans who truly have enjoyed making these great songs our own.”

NEVER LET GO was produced and engineered by PERDOMO and GOTHE, mixed and mastered by Zach Ziskin, and recorded in Los Angeles at Sherman Oaks-based Forward Motion Studios. GOTHE’s credits on the album: vocal, 6 & 12-string acoustic guitar, classical guitar, flute, bass, tanpura. PERDOMO’s credits: electric guitar, bass, drums, keyboard, electric sitar, harmony vocal

The album’s sonic highlights include:

  • A veritable prog orchestra: 6 & 12-string guitars, flute, bass, tanpura, keyboards, drums, and electric sitar
  • Dave Kerzner’s keyboard wizardry on “Never Let Go”
  • Durga McBroom of Pink Floyd lending ethereal vocals to “Another Night”

NEVER LET GO is proof, you might say, that you can teach an old Camel new tricks. It’s the perfect soundtrack for your next desert trek or interstellar journey.

ABOUT IAN GOTHE:
Born to an Armenian family in Iran, Ian Gothe spent much of his adolescence traveling across continents in search of a home. A childhood filled with loss and loneliness provided the impetus for Gothe to continually turn to music as his friend and confidant. His initial inspiration came from a recording of the Doors “Spanish Caravan,” a song well known for its complex and compelling guitar rifts that still capture audience’s attention today. Gothe was not immune, and his petition for a guitar of his own was driven by his desire to play those well-worn, haunting lines with ease. After Gothe and his hard-won guitar left Iran before the revolution, the 14 year old lived with family in England and later made his way to the United States by way of a year in Baltimore before finally settling in Los Angeles, where he lives today.

Gothe’s musical career has been marked by false starts and missed opportunities, a reality not unexpected for a young man in the throes of wandering and learning about both music and life on his own. In his twenties Gothe composed a high-energy dance song “Cleopatra” produced by Christian De Walden, that became a number one hit in Italy. Years of career pursuits and family life relegated music to an occasional hobby, but after the dissolution of his 20-year marriage, Gothe returned to music, his first love. Allowing him to create projects from both his heart and soul. Citing the influences of British bands such as Camel and Genesis, and many less well-known musicians, Gothe’s style is an eclectic triumph that fuses not only musical genres but also crosses language barriers as well with songs that feature both English and his native Armenian.

Gothe brings to his compositions and arrangements a depth that can only be found in those who have longed for something and dedicated themselves to the search for answers to life’s questions. The devotion to his craft is apparent in his careful attention to detail that is married to his holistic vision of art and music as avenues for cultivating inspiration. Gothe’s understanding of music transcends the notes themselves, and he reminds us that “there is beauty in silence “ when he leaves uncharacteristic space between each track for the music to breathe. The artistic choices that Gothe makes as he constructs each piece are evidence of an artist who has emerged from a journey, confident and ready to create from a place of authentic introspection.

Ian Gothe’s first full-length album, Memento, released by Blackbird Record Label, organizes around the eternal human question of belonging. This collection of both self-composed inspirations and masterful covers is a personal pilgrimage through Gothe’s life, where each song serves to mark the experiences and emotions that have defined his journey from wandering youth to accomplished musician in Los Angeles.

The album, a serendipitous and welcome collaboration with GRAMMY award- winning producer Jim Scott, is Gothe’s long-overdue musical rebirth that perhaps makes his earlier wanderings almost worthwhile. They say that good things come to those who wait. This has been true for Gothe’s artistic vision, as well as those who have had the opportunity to travel this lyrical trek with him. “Memento” features performances by all-star musicians Derek Frank (Shania Twain, Gwen Stefani), Fernando Perdomo (Jakob Dylan, Fiona Apple), Tamir Barzilay (Macy Gray, Tal Wilkenfeld), Sam Babayan (The Dirty Diamond). Upon hearing Gothe’s cover of “Spanish Caravan”, Robby Krieger of the Doors, endorsed his cover and the video was premiered on Guitar Player.

Gothe’s musical homecoming in Memento is a fitting creation for him to share his experience with the world and to remind himself that despite the meandering nature of his journey and the pain and loss that he sustained along the way, the music is itself his inspiration and the place that he can always call home.

MICKI FREE Taps SANTANA Vocalist RAY GREENE On New Single/Video “When The Devil’s At Your Door”

DT: SEPTEMBER 4, 2024

FM: MITCH SCHNEIDER, KELLY WALSH / SRO PR


MICKI FREE
ENLISTS SANTANA VOCALIST RAY GREENE
ON LATEST SINGLE AND VIDEO
“WHEN THE DEVIL’S AT YOUR DOOR”
TAKEN FROM HIS NEW EP
‘DREAMCATCHER’
OUT NOW VIA BUNGALO RECORDS / UNIVERSAL

WATCH FREE & GREENE TOGETHER AT THE NEON BONEYARD IN LAS VEGAS
IN THE VIDEO
HERE

Grammy Award-winner and 5X Native American Music Awards Hall of Fame Lifetime Achievement-winner MICKI FREE and Santana vocalist Ray Greene take viewers inside the Neon Boneyard in Las Vegas to illuminate the newly unveiled video for “When The Devil’s At Your Door.” Watch it streaming below or via MICKI’s YouTube HERE.

FREE’s incendiary guitar lines and Greene’s soulful vocals light up this wickedly groove-laden track from MICKI’s new EP DREAMCATCHER via Bungalo Records / Universal Music Group. The Jack Banks-directed video was filmed in Las Vegas, NV, where MICKI resides, at the acclaimed Neon Boneyard—an outdoor exhibition space which contains more than 250 reilluminated iconic neon signs from Vegas’ dazzling past. “We chose the Neon Boneyard as it references Las Vegas…Sin City,” states MICKI. “With all the temptation in Vegas I thought it was perfect for the song. Even when you’re trying to toe the line, the devil’s always at your door.”

“‘When The Devil’s At Your Door’ is a reflection on past things I may have done in my life,” says MICKI, “knowing that if I wanted to ‘soar with the angels’ I need to make atonement for my past deeds.” He elaborates. “It’s like saying what you reap, you will sow…but I wanted the groove to be sinfully suggestive, so I added killer vocals from Ray Greene, the lead singer of Santana.”

MICKI shared how he came to enlist Greene, saying: “While at dinner with Cindy & Carlos (Santana), we were discussing who I should get to play bass on my EP. Carlos suggested Benny, his bassist in Santana, and Cindy agreed. After Benny was on board, I reached out to Ray Greene, Santana’s lead vocalist, and asked him to perform on ‘When The Devil’s At Your Door’ and he was on board as well! I’m so happy with the outcome of this project and my friendship with Carlos Santana, and his band…his guidance and advice were truly inspiring.”

Written, produced, and arranged by MICKI (who performed all guitars, lead and background vocals, and Native American flute), DREAMCATCHER was recorded between Rio Grande Studios in New Mexico with producer Ken Riley and Studio A Las Vegas with producer Myles Martin (The Weeknd, SZA, Travis Scott). For the studio sessions, MICKI enlisted members of Santana’s band including Cindy Blackman Santana (drums), Benny Rietveld (bass) and Ray Greene (vocals). The EP also includes guest appearances from bassist Rhonda Smith (Prince, Jeff Beck) and Mark “Muggie Do” Leach on Hammond organ and piano.

MICKI’s monthly residency at Backstage Bar & Billiards in downtown Vegas–“An Evening With Micki Free: Songs and Stories From A Life In Music”—will take place on Thursday, September 26.

Having been signed to a management deal with Gene Simmons and Diana Ross that launched his career, FREE joined the legendary R&B group Shalamar where he became friends with Prince. After his departure in the early 90’s, FREE continued his solo career appearing on both the stage and in the studio with iconic artists including Carlos Santana, Janet Jackson, KISS, Little Steven Van Zandt, Aerosmith, Neil Young and Bill Wyman, just to name a few

His most recent album, TURQUOISE BLUE, was released via the Dark Idol Music label distributed by Burnside Distribution / The Orchard / Sony and features guest musicians including Gary Clark Jr., Steve Stevens, Christone “Kingfish” Ingram and Cindy Blackman Santana. FREE released an alternative version of the album’s single “World On Fire (Warrior Remix)” with Blackman Santana and her fellow Santana band members Karl Perazzo and Andy Vargas.

Born mixed blood Cherokee/Comanche Native American and Irish descent, FREE has mastered the Native American flute and in addition to his guitar-driven blues rock albums has recorded five flute music albums.

“It’s difficult to express how excited I am to get back on the road again with the boys,” says BAD WOLVES guitarist Doc Coyle. “Co-headlining with a powerhouse like Pop Evil will be a real treat for fans of both bands and will keep us on our toes to bring our A-game every night. It’s a true honor to share the stage with them, Sierra Pilot, and ONI. Bad Wolves will be performing an eclectic set including songs from ‘Die About It’ that we haven’t played yet, and I’m sure some surprises. The band is firing on all cylinders right now, and this will be a hell of a way to close out 2024. LFG, Wolfpack!!!”

EVA UNDER FIRE, led by powerhouse vocalist EVA MARIE, surprised audience members at Pine Knob Music Theatre in Clarkston, MI last Thursday night, August 8, by joining iconic rock outfit 30 Seconds To Mars on stage during their “Seasons Tour.” EVA sang alongside vocalist Jared Leto during the performance of their groundbreaking Double-Platinum hit single, “The Kill.” EVA UNDER FIRE won an online contest held by 30 Seconds To Mars earlier this year after submitting their shattering rendition of “The Kill” from a recent taping at Sirius XM’s NYC studios. Watch EVA and 30 Seconds To Mars performance streaming below or via YouTube HERE.

“Singing ‘The Kill’ with 30 Seconds To Mars meant the world to me,” exclaims EVA. “30 Seconds To Mars is one of the bands I listened to when I was first discovering my love for rock music. To be up there on a massive stage with the man himself screaming my 2004 emo anthem was a nod to my younger self, like ‘we made it!’ The band’s team was very kind. My bandmates were all able to come and support me. It was an incredible moment.”

Lauded as one of SIRIUS XM’s 2023 “Ones To Watch,” EVA UNDER FIRE are currently recording the follow-up to their acclaimed 2022 debut album LOVE, DRUGS & MISERY (Better Noise Music). Its deluxe version, which includes the Top 20 Active Rock radio-charting single “Unstoppable” featuring country/rock artist Cory Marks, was released in 2023 followed by a first pressing of the original record on vinyl. Stream/download LOVE, DRUGS & MISERY (DELUXE) HERE.

EVA UNDER FIRE have toured across the globe with acts including Bush, Bad Wolves, Pop Evil, Skillet, and Finger Eleven while also appearing at some of rock’s biggest festivals (Aftershock, Inkcarceration, Rock Fest). They will next hit the stage at Rocklahoma on August 30.

EVA UNDER FIRE substantially expanded their fanbase following Eva’s featured appearance in the horror-thriller The Retaliators (Better Noise Films) and the inclusion of their single “Blow (ft. Spencer Charnas of Ice Nine Kills)” on the film’s soundtrack. Their single, “Heroin(e),” was also featured on the soundtrack for the 2020 film Sno Babies (Better Noise Films) which saw astonishing results and to date has over 26 million streams.
