RIZE Debuts on Galaxie Music Cable Network in Canada

Feb. 12, 2012 - PRLog -- This past Friday, February 10th, RIZE debuted on the Canadian based music playback channel, Galaxie. Galaxie, is a continuous music network that is available throughout Canada via cable television. It offers a variety of continuous music channels which are uninterrupted by ads or talk. Although Galaxie is primarily focused on the Canadian market, reaching an estimated 40 million households, it is beginning to grow in the US and has a presence in Europe as well.

Already, RIZE has been getting a lot of love from the programmers at Galaxie, with multiple placements being recorded in the past 24 hours. If you live in Canada or have access to the Galaxie platform via the Internet or your mobile phone, you can now listen to RIZE on the “Asian Flavour” channel which features popular artists from Asia – including OSTs. Galaxie also keeps a record of every track played for the last 24 hours so you can go back and find the name of an artist or song if you weren’t able to remember from listening to the actual station.

RIZE’s appearance on Galaxie is perfectly timed since next month they will appear in Toronto to perform for the Canadian Music Week fest before heading to New York for their first US performance in many years.

RIZE is a hard rock/metal band that debuted in 2000 with major accomplishments such as performing at Live 8 in 2005 and Live Earth in 2007, having their song “Zero” licensed by Coke Zero Japan/Asia, various songs used for PS2 games such as “BioHazard”, and have appeared live with NIN, Run DMC, Jay Z & Oasis. RIZE is a trio comprised of Jesse McFaddin (founder, guitar & lead singer), KenKen (bassist) and NK (drummer). Both the group, RIZE, and the individual members, are major icons in the Japanese music and pop culture scenes, influencing music, entertainment, gaming and fashion. All three members are considered “rock royalty” in Japan since their fathers are members of the legendary Japanese rock band Pink Cloud.
