Influenced equally by hip-hop beats and neo-soul sirens, Park's debut album is an intimate affair as her understated cool comes across in every syllable she sings. The title track has a trip-hop twinkle and The Life is a mesmerizing statement with bits and pieces of an orchestra popping in and out. Park's personal lyrics reflect on her experiences as a Korean-American but really she just wants to find her way as a citizen of life.

This week in the birth place of hip hop, New York City, Heather Park will take the stage to perform some oldies but goodies and will also lace the audience that will be in the building with some new material off the upcoming LP. For more information on the concert, please check the Events section below or go to www.hearthepark.com.

Mark your calendars. On October 14th, 2007, at midnight, one of the most prominent Filipino-American bands on the East coast, Bleud, will be giving away their latest single on their site. ‘Ordinary’ will be Bleud’s latest release since December 2006 when they took part in the Soulworks Records ‘Rocky Yuletide 2’ holiday compilation album with the single, ‘This Christmas.’ For more information, please visit their site at www.bleud.net.

MUD - Their raw guitar riffs, heavy bass grooves, and depth in song writing resonates a diverse collection of melodic, hard-edged, and energetic sounds. The result is a blending of punk's energy and incredibly catchy, concise and singable hooks, drawing comparisons to successful crossover bands. Recently signed to San Francisco indie label Talking House Records, MUD is currently working on material for an expected release in 2007.

All you have to do is email them a cool title for their new album along with your full name and MySpace or Facebook URL, if you have one, if they use the name you sent, you will win a iPod Nano in the color of your choice. Contest ends October 30th, 2007. You can enter as many times as you would like. Please send an email to contest@mudsf.com.

Abe Chang - Abe's music is an eclectic blend of his poetic verse set to a vibrant mix of hard rock, folk, indie, and pop-punk. Each song tells a story, often of redemption and heartbreak. Abe's material not only touches on the emotional tides of the human condition, but he also writes songs that are infused with humor, wit, and the joy of a fast beating heart.

On Thursday, October 11th, 2007, he will be playing at The Annual Autumn Audio Extravaganza – ROCKTOBER. This is a FREE event. So if you are in New York City and have a craving for some rock music, make sure you make your way downtown and hit up this concert.
