The words, or lyrics, which have been so important to past generations, have given way to simple "party" lyrics and "sing along" hooks, whose basic message hopes to reach only the least common denominator of today's listening and music buying audience. Gone are the days when people sang to communicate social and political awareness, while the real "truthspeakers" are snuffed out or ignored until they loose the will to create. Music as we know it has always been a sort of "newspaper" which gives the listener insight on current events and the news of our times. Somewhere along these lines the message got lost. With this, "The Power of Words" concept in mind, Independent Distribution Collective (IDC) an artist friendly CD distribution company, decided to develop a small tour which would not only feature artists with a message, but artists who would make that message the main focal point of their live performances. IDC chose two artists from their vast catalog who put the lyrics at the forefront of their live performances. One artist, Haji Mike, is a Cypriot Poet, MC and Ph.D. who spent many years in England, where he was exposed to both reggae music and spoken word poetry. His tireless efforts to help heal a decades long division in his homeland of Cyprus, and his constant support of the youth culture there makes it easy to see why he was chosen for this tour. The other artist, Karney, is a San Francisco born Singer/Songwriter who has toured all of the US, and performed and written songs alongside countless different and diverse musical icons. Always a socially conscious person, and supporter of many forms of creative art, Karney's biting wit and political lyrics are always present in any of her live shows. This tour will also feature some amazing local acts in each of these cities. It is important for this tour to reach audiences who are looking for a message in today's music. With that in mind IDC focused on a few markets in Northern California, which have always been home to social change in America. San Francisco, Santa Cruz, and Chico, California seem perfect places for these shows. With this small tour as a proving ground, IDC hopes to launch dozens of these types of tours across the US over the next few years. This tour will include live musical performances with a full band, acoustic performances, and even a few spoken word poetry and educational presentations. Please help support independent and intelligent music. For more information or to arrange interviews with these artists please feel free to contact Steffen Franz at IDC, 415 292-7007 or e-mail standout@independentdistro.com The "Power of Words" Tour, July 17th to July 28th 2006 (Including Radio Interviews) Independent Distribution Collective, Olive Tree Music, Tangent Records and Positive Sound Massive Recordings present The "Power of Words Tour" featuring Haji Mike and Karney plus Stand Out Selector and the Poetz4Peace Riddim Section, plus many great guest artists.

'The Camel Herder' feat Rocker T & Zeki ALi and produced by Haji Mike and 'The Drum' produced by SOS. These tunes were played two weeks in a row on BBC Radio 3 - more info check playlists for 2nd and 9th July @ http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio3/andykershaw/ Kershaw has always supported Haji Mike's releases, dating back to the early 1990's when through his show on The BBC World Service he was the first DJ to play Haji Mike in Cyprus. Many people claim to have done this, but Manchester's finest played 'Mr Vraggadagga' to an unsuspecting local public first! Haji Mike is also riding high in the soundclick.com reggae charts with the Tony 'Mutley' Matthew produced steppers tune 'What kind of world are we living in' - sitting at number 19 and rising quick!

After much anticipation, fans of these brothers' hard-hitting baritone deejay style finally have a full-length release to sink their teeth into. Brought to you by Monty G, "Hard 2 The Core" is a top quality mix of mostly dancehall with traces of hip-hop and a consistent hardcore reggae delivery. Producer DJ Frost provides a wide array of beats, helping Avalanchee stay true to authentic dancehall on tracks such as "Ballin' Skeem", "God Right Dere", "Serious ", "Buggin" (one of the album's BIGGEST tunes), and "Da Word" featuring Monty G (another Boomshot). Meanwhile, tracks such as "Friends" and "Elevating" throw r and b and hip-hop flavor into the mix, further broadening its appeal. One of the standout tracks on this album is "Nah Fraid" featuring Mr. Lynx and Fire. Though the cut kicks off by hinting at a one drop beat, it quickly settles into a reggae/dancehall/hip-hop hybrid that defies all expectations. This is unquestionably one of the best songs in Avalanchee's entire catalog. This tune alone is worth the price of the entire album! On Hard 2 The Core, these siblings raise the bar in gospel dancehall. From the professional artwork and production to the songwriting and vocal deliveries, everything about this release showcases the innovation and creativity that accompany a sincere dedication to the Lord.
