By: Flowers Media / Ian McGrady "It's funny. I finance an entire album, and now the way the industry is going, it seems part of the answer is to give it away for free -- for a little while, anyway," says Zeta Vang manager Ian McGrady. While White Lights Go Bang's production values put it well within reach of Bond 23 and Grammy territory, they didn't go into the studio that way. "You meet a producer like Daniel Wise, and you hear Dan Malsch's mixing, and your confidence level goes through the roof," says McGrady of his first time acting as Executive Producer of an album. "What a gift. Most albums are lucky to have two great singles. We have 9. Count 'em. Every song you'll get from Zeta Vang is an absolute winner. Probably the best compliment we got on the record is from Dan himself, who's likely his own harshest critic: 'There's not a dull moment on that album,' he said. I was very pleased." "It's a risk working with an undiscovered artist. Tremendous risk. You still have to see how they're going to pan out with the public. Artistically I know I was right about Jerome Kapeller's vocals and music. Once he gets some momentum behind his gigs, I think everything should just click into place," says McGrady. Kapeller has already been featured in a Time Out New York article and the Asahi Shinbum, the largest Japanese daily paper. "I can't believe what luck we've had. We're developing our contacts and are reaching out to music supervisors, dj's, anyone interested in licensing, we're game. Since the artist and I own the masters outright, licensing is easy." "Our first client which we did for free was Moller International. They needed some music for their annual investor's meeting, and they went with the no-vox version of "White Lights". The soaring riffs really match the vision, the candy-apple red Flying Car they're building." Zeta Vang's White Lights Go Bang is a 42 minute, 11 track album featuring songs written by Kapeller, and cowrites featuring multiplatinum producer Daniel Wise and Larry Dvoskin. It's to be released digitally worldwide Q2 2010. "It's comparable to any major label album. That was the goal at the outset, and that's what we've achieved. I'm extremely confident that the album will go very far," said McGrady. The band's website is at www.zetavang.com.
