Billy Talent... best new signed rock band I've heard in awhile...

Atlanta's 99x sends out emails about new bands they're pimpin from label cashola pretty much every week. I make it a point to listen at least a little. This week, the lil whore is: Billy Talent and they rock!

Click the link above to hear them.

Dare I try to explain the sound? Great tight hard rockin' guitar, with unique Buzzcocks meets Dio vocals.... maybe?

99x. Thanks for the payola... sometimes it's worthwhile. :)

more seanrox PHOTOS...



These are out-takes from the Eliot James and the Snakes photoshoot last month.
Despite Brook pointing the loaded gun at my head for an hour, I believe we came out with righteous shots.



After a bit of tweaking in my long, dear friend Photoshop... Ghoultown meets Fist full of Dollars... high contrast, selective color, and epic texture.




... and my shameless plug... if you're seeking a rock photographer in Atlanta, and you like what you see here... Shoot me an email.

seanroxMUSIC... LoFi, electronic... and slightly silly.

So, I'm playing with Acid, a music-builder of sorts... reusing loops of drums, bass, guitar, and special affects I've found over the past couple years. Dynamic, yet cheesy, it's 1min 31 seconds of thump... and me counting in Japanese.

Scorpio Horoscope
Thu Sep. 18, 2003 by Astrocenter.com

Finally the world is starting to see it your way today, dear Scorpio. Be yourself and don't be squeamish about telling people exactly how it is. Your thinking is clear and focused. Use your penetrating mind to accomplish a mire of mental tasks. Your intense nature is powerful, so act wisely. Today may very well be one of those days in which other people realize that you're really not as crazy as they might have first thought.

So, I'm *not* crazy?

Lite Bright and busy things.
First... just found this online LiteBrite page. Relive your childhood and mine.

Well, the past month or so, it's been pretty busy around the Rox home office. Work included:

INTERFACE DESIGN.
An organicky Interface that was shelved by the client.

MUSICIAN PACK.
Digital photography, Poster, Sticker, and CD Design for Eliot James and the Snakes... website to come in the next week or so.

DAWN of a PROMOTION SERVICE.
RockSocial surfaced this Summer as a moniker to tell friends what live band we were going to see. A "cut through the crap" type promotion. Mediochre acts don't make the cut. Quickly grew from there, into a formal SocialGroup and Promotion Service. I'm getting good feedback on the graphic design in the emails [example], and the email list is slowly growing and I believe it's growing with some quality peeps. :)

Partnered with Nicole Oxford from Next Level Promotions for the first two Unplugged events... and we have some cool stuff possible in '04.

I'm a concert promoter. Who knew?


NEW SEANROX RECORDINGS.
Been working on my voice a lot. A lot.... not quite where I want to be, but I think I'm getting closer, less like Mr. Diamond, I hope. :) I have two different tracks in production... "Breathe" with Alan Yates, and "Rocket 69" with JJ/EliotJames... don't have completion dates on those... when you barter, you're on the back burner. heh :) Laid down basic guitar and vocals to click tracks... so now it's up to the mastery and bribery of both Alan and JJ to get the other instruments laid down.

Also... I think I'm a balladeer.

OTHERS...
Architect, Technology, ChiliCookOff, WineSocialGroup, Accordianist, Non-profit consultant and Fashion designer sites... as well as SongScope.com's new newsletter in the hopper currently.

So, that's what I've been up to and why I've been a little tough to get ahold of.

CD Design for JJ, nearly complete.
Eliot James and the Snakes CD... coming... well... ASAP.

You may know him as JJ from Marvelous 3... maybe bassist from Butch Walker's band... or Eliot James... in any case... the new "special edition" CD is nearly complete... here's a sneak at the (bit o punk/bit o glam)design:



Kudos to Brook from Dark Horse in the ATL for looking like such a badass. ;)
