THIS
WEEK'S MAD MONDAYS IS INDEED ACTION-PACKED
Join us as
we bring in a very diverse night of music!
On Saturday,
March 7th, 2009, Anne
Montone became the newest member of the Scion A/V family
by winning the Los Angeles title in their nationwide vocalist
competition. From hundreds of submissions, Scion invited the
top 10 singers to their Scion Art Gallery in Culver City to
perform in front of judges Franki Chan of IHeartComix
, Vice Records A&R, Chris Roberts, and Dave 1 from the
group Chromeo
. The twist? Each competitor was given brand new
music and only one week to write, rehearse, and perform 3
new songs. At the end of the 3-round, 6-hour competition
the judges announced a unanimous decision that Anne's vocal
styling, her fashion sense, and stage presence made for an
authentic and heartfelt, winning performance. Special
thanks to Producer K12 and Fashion Artist Ginger McGann.
After spending half a year in an east
Berlin flat, Brandon Bethancourt (AKA Alaska
in Winter) awoke one afternoon after a 16 hour-straight
dance party from the previous weekend only to discover that
there on his computer, was a fully finished, and totally rad
new album.
Yes indeed... Brandon has no recollection of how that music
got there on his laptop other than vague fragmented late night
memories that involve synthesizers, lasers, berliner pils,
haus musik, and possibly some singing... but regardless, Brandon
pretty much had so much fun, and miraculously, an album came
out if it some how... and Brandon's pumped about it... and
you should be too!
