| New Year's Playlist 2009-2010: Song One is White Lights Go Bang by Zeta Vang - Multiplatinum CredYou want to ring in the New Year with the best written, best-produced, best dance-rock single of the year? Hands-up! "White Lights Go Bang" featuring multi-gold, multi-platinum producers. Hey, if you can't dance this song shakes your bones for you.
By: Flowers Media http://www.tunecore.com/ Start it with a shredding riff about the white lights -- like the New Year's ball -- that go down. Like a cosmic archer, 2010 releases a bow pulled all the way back to beginning of last year releasing the tip of the arrow to soar like an arrow through the singular most-defining moment of the next year. You've got 2 seconds to frame 2010 with inspiration, light, darkness, and everything in-between. "White Lights Go Bang", available on iTunes and Amazon, fits the bill. Dazzle guests with an excellent selection of a new band with production values that soar past midnight into January 1 2010 like abottle rocket. This song starts at 10 and turns the room up way, way past proverbial "11". First it clears the air, with a two second riff that you'll remember forever as the most epic shreddin' guitars you've heard in years: And hey, if you can't dance, just stand up and White Lights Go Bang will shake your bones for you. LYRICS fantasy cuts reality in half; what's left of me I don't think I can let you have; fantasy is easier to grab; own the stones that i've thrown into the quicksand/ comatose, all alone behind my raybans/ doberman fetchin' bones, catch 'em as they land and the feeling gets in and the feeling sets in and the white lights fall down I can almost touch them now white lights go bang go bang as they take me high as they leave me low // and when they go, and show it all, as we fall down, down, down don't leave me low, oh when they fall, and they go bang, bang, bang, bang ---- Sure, but what does it mean? It's about keeping your heart open when your idols fall. It's about the things that blinded you with their purity and ability to change your world, and once acquainted, your self is left stunningly the same. Sure, idols fall. But if you can dance in the dust of your dead dreams, you're all the more Zeta Vang invites you to join the party. Zeta Vang features Jerome Kapeller on vocals and songwriting, and features production by Daniel Wise (who produced the Scissor Sisters' cover of "Comfortably Numb" and their multiplatinum record). Lawrence Dvoskin (multi-gold cowriter, Meredith Brooks, Brandy David Bowie) is co-executive producer of the album. Ian McGrady is manager and Executive Producer. Special guests of the band have included Simon Kirke of Bad Company. Zeta Vang plays in New York City. What does it sound like? Well, at this point, we'd advise a preview on iTunes or Amazon, preferring to let the song speak for itself. But for those who must look before they leap: It's like the Ramones. It's like the Stone Roses. It's like David Bowie. It's like Roxy Music. It's like Bad Brains. No one hears it the same way. It's one of those songs you can listen to over and over again and never get bored of because the music and progressions are subversive, and the 3rd verse turns the 11 into a 12. Dance your darkness into oblivion, past the old year, as the White Lights Go Bang -- and when they fall, the fall down, and go bang, bang, bang, bang. Zeta Vang plays Trash Bar, in Brooklyn NYC January 13, 2009 9pm. 256 Grand St.(between Driggs and Roebling) Williamsburg, Brooklyn NY 11211. http://www.Zetavang.com ABOUT ZETA VANG White Lights Go Bang is a record that stakes out territory and addresses the modern crisis of individuality in a very real way: Total aloneness leads to isolation, and interdependence comes with its own set of problems. The search for fulfillment and connection, and the pain of isolation and self-doubt are themes that anyone can identify with in our increasingly changing world. "That strikes a serious chord with the world at the moment, I think; We're still searching for substance. Capitalism defeated communism, but capitalism also defeated America, and political hopes are sideswiped and torn asunder by those who dominate media and mixed messages. So the timing of this record coming out now has a tremendous impact." 1. White Lights Go Bang 2. Release: Q2 2010 3. Country: US 4. Tracks: 11 5. Runtime: 6.

Ian McGrady, Executive Producer / Manager, Zeta Vang & "White Lights Go Bang" Album For the first time in as long as anyone can remember, audience and critics alike will find a record where the artists did things their way. Never seeking audience approval, but unafraid to be commercially viable, Zeta Vang's White Lights Go Bang emerges as an irrepressible spirit of an artist bent on a singular vision, facilitated by masterful guidance of Daniel Wise as producer, and Daniel Malsch as mixer. Daniel Wise is the multiplatinum producer of White Lights Go Bang, which bears the hallmark of a thoroughbread champion from the moment it sets upon the ears. "There's an integrity to White Lights Go Bang that puts it beyond any first album of a major label," says Ian McGrady, who financed and guided Mr. Kapeller's choice among producers and songs. "The difference between us and any, and I do mean any, major label release, is that most albums are lucky to have 2." "How'd we do it?" says McGrady, confidently leaning back. "We did it by just focusing on doing our best. Period. There was no committee. No approval process. The artist and producer had complete agency to make exactly the album they envisioned. Everyone had license to go forward." Zeta Vang's debut show was at Pianos in New York City and featured as a special guest Simon Kirke of Free & Bad Company on drums. "Simon looked like he was having the time of his life. Jerome rocked. It was great to see." "The minute people hear White Lights it's a slam-drunk on many levels. The songwriting, the vocals, the hooks, the choruses, the harmonies, the amazing sound quality, crunchin' guitars -- it's all there, with the necessary gravity as a backdrop to elevate it to serious status. Although the album is expensive, reaching into six figures (Ex. Prod. Ian McGrady won't reveal how much), he says "We've accomplished a cohesive artistic statement for the artist, in total service to the artist, at a fraction of the cost because we believe artistry and efficiency are inseparable. It's a rare achievement in any medium." It was under McGrady's guidance that Kapeller chose Daniel Wise, but it was ultimately McGrady who had to pay for Wise's multiplatinum effort on this album. "Dan asked us to record a demo of Jerome's songs, just a guitar and his voice, on one track, with nothing. Bone-dry, he asked for. I gave it to him 3 days later after a six hour recording session in my living room, on my Powerbook with a Blue USB microphone. Dan called me back 2 days later and we began negotiating a deal that would work. "Jerome's voice has this thing -- it's just built for radio," he says. Everywhere this project goes it seems to build momentum. Renowned artist Les Perhacs in California contributed White Lights Go Bang iconic image of his sculpture, "Circle Control". "The way this album seems to land on the exact moment of our culture is astonishing, even though it's a long time in the making," says McGrady. http://www.amazon.com/ www.facebook.com/ www.zetavang.com Booking inquiries: flowersmedia@ Licensing: flowersmedia@ # # # Ian McGrady operates Flowers Media.
