Hello; my name is
Michael Canter. And yes, this REALLY IS ME - not some figurehead named Tom or something. I'm a WEB HOST. That's right, if you are a member here at SonicJive you have
your very own website and I host it for you - for free.
In 1996, I went down to Greenwich Village, New York City, NY to a rock club called the
Electric Banana. Don't look for it; it's not there anymore. But that night, I heard a band that for me redefined the words
"rock & roll". I remember being knocked out by their... their exuberance, their raw power.... and their punctuality. That band was Britain's now-legendary
Spinal Tap.
Spinal Tap is no longer around .....(ah, but they are BACK, and you can find them
RIGHT HERE) and they've earned a distinguished place in rock history as one of England's loudest bands. So in the late winter of 2007, I decided I wanted to harness the energy, the uniqueness, the soul...of EVERY local and indie band & musician worldwide and the sights, the sounds...even the smells of those hard-working musicians, for the world to see, and hopefully create scores of new fans for our entire community of artists. And I've got that - it is this website
SONICJIVE.COM and, I got more... a lot more, and lots of new friends.
But hey, enough of my yakkin'; whaddaya say?
Let's boogie!

SONICJIVE NEW MEMBER FEATURED PROFILE: JAVELINAS
The
"Seven Sisters" CD is available through
www.cdbaby.com
by clicking the CD Art Cover above.
"This is one of the best Alt-Country/Rock/Americana CDs I have ever heard and to be honest "Seven Sisters" provides the type of musical thrills that went out of style when the Rolling Stones peaked thirty years ago. Lead singer Chris McInnis has an unassuming confidence and swagger and plays a kick-ass harp on the track "SSA" to boot. Lead guitarist Spiv (check out his slide work on "Illinois Line") really stands out on this release. I am a fan of the genre (If you are like me you dig on Wilco, Uncle Tupelo, Ryan Adams, Golden Smog, Son Volt, Jayhawks, etc.) and Seven Sisters" stands toe-to-toe with the best.
My favorite songs are "Seven Sisters" , "Homebound", "Red Shoes" and "Havana Hurricane Warning" . But there is not a bad song on this CD so ask me in an hour and I might tell you my favorites are four different cuts. Delve deeply into this CD, I promise you won't be disappointed."
