<b>Biography :</b><br>
It's not always recognized in today's "we want it all right now" world, but patience is a true virtue. And Bergen's finest electro-rockers Ralph Myerz & the Jack Herren Band are being rewarded for remembering that golden rule. After releasing two highly successful albums on an indie label (2003's 'A Special Album' and 2005's 'Your New Best Friends'), the trio is set to unleash its major label debut on Virgin Records.<br>
Ralph Myerz & the Jack Herren Band is not the flavour of the month - far from it. Building a rabid following since 2002's A Special EP, the band has stacked their loyal fans, a tower cultivated brick by brick, achieving Gold Status with their sophomore release a Special Album, and Norwegian Alternative Grammy for both albums, upon a foundation that is awe inspiring. Their fans are rewarded with relentless touring, never failing energy and a hurricane of a live performance, killing all other so called electronic live acts...<br>
Paying homage to the glory days of great shows and audience communication, it blows your speakers with a tight and overwhelming light show & pyrotechnics and features the mad drummer/percussionists front stage, a bass/guitar/slide/EFX maestro accompanying the main Ralph himself in the middle, pumping out the catchiest hooks, chilled out moods and rocked out electronica.....or whatever you want to call it.<br>
Yes, Ralph Myerz & the Jack Herren Band can rock, as the band has proved over the last 4 years - touring their home grounds and Europe extensively, headlining their own club shows in every corner of the European continent, or making memorable appearances at some of Europe's biggest festivals (be it rock, jazz or electro festivals, these boys will have you rockin!).<br>
Wheter they play to a hundred people at a dodgy Hamburg club, opening the main stage at legendary Glastonbury, or appearing as stand-in act for David Bowie in front of a 70.000 capacity crowd at France's biggest rock festival - the Myerz boys will always play a show like it's their last. A bomb set to detonate for one time only. With a fierce hunger to please, the band takes the intensity from 11 to infinity, making sure no-one leaves their show unsatisfied. Never losing focus, always heavy grooving, and taking care of their crowd as if it was their sole purpose here on this earth... Those who have witnessed the sonic assault of the band knows the score and is forever longing for more - those who haven't, you have no idea what's gonna hit you.... then you'll be hooked..........forever!<br>

<b>Press release :</b><br>
Beat meets west as one of the world's most accomplished turntablists returns with the long-awaited follow-up to 2002's The Anomaly (ropeadope/Atlantic). Produced by long-time collaborator Scotty Hard (Wu-Tang, Prince Paul), Zen Of Logic travels down many paths, all linked by two turntables and a mixer. From afro-dub (featuring Antibalas), ghetto funk (featuring John Medeski), what is jazz? (featuring Charlie Hunter), and back-handed hip hop (with MCs SubConscious and Creature), Logic has created a modern day mix-up masterpiece that will please all mad (iPod) shufflers.<br>

<b>Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band</b> - "Your New Best Friends"<br>
(Emperor Norton)<br>
<br>
<b>Ralph Myerz</b> fait tout pour se faire détester: un chant parfois limite britpop à la <b>Muse</b> & co. en ouverture ("Kill The Habit"), des arrangements dance-pop entre <b>Royksopp</b> et <b>Saint Etienne</b> ("Natasha '75", "L.I.PS.T.I.C.K."), une pochette en apparence IKEA-horrible (en réalité un super joke bien lourd quand on regarde le back-cover)... et ça marche!! Les soit-disant critiques françaises (en fait une bande de journaleux qui puent du cul -mais ça ce n'est pas très grave- et qui ne connaissent rien d'autre que <b>New Order</b> et les années 80 -ça c'est impardonnable!-) ont descendu en flèche ce deuxième album: "vaguement cheesy", "vieille space disco pop avariée", "pop soul insipide", "trip hop nauséeux", "easy-listening foireux", "de la musique de supermarché pour les week-ends des bobos qui bossent dans la pub avec des coupes de cheveux de footeux" dixit <b>Robert Alves</b> dans <b>Magic!</b>, un ignoble canard de plus qui n'aime que les disques qui lui ont acheté de l'espace pub (et <b>New Order</b> et les années 80).<br>
Ne vous y fiez pas. <b>Ralph Myerz</b> est super fort et ce second album aussi inusable que le précédent malgré la grosse dose de saccharine pop. C'est justement tout ce qui fera votre bonheur. Ecouter et ré-écouter un album de <b>Ralph Myerz & The Jack Herren Band</b>, c'est comme retourner s'acheter un paquet de bonbons à la camionnette près du collège. C'est aussi retrouver toute la pertinence immédiate d'arrangeurs hors du commun tels qu'<b>Ennio Morricone</b> ou <b>Michel Legrand</b>. Ce sont des cordes honteusement luxuriantes, des mélodies accrocheuses au possible, des breaks cinématographiques, une kyrielle de tubes en puissance, bref, comme dirait l'autre, "que du bonheur". Ne ratez pas la <a href="http://www.ralphmyerz.net/site/main/les_mer.php?page_id=17" target="_blank">tournée française</a> en octobre en novembre prochain, à Strasbourg, Nancy, Toulouse, Angers, Paris, Dijon, Orleans, Amiens, Nancy à nouveau et Lille...<br>

(3,4 Mo 128 kbps MP3)<br>
<br>
Encore des musiciens de Bergen, le petit bled norvégien dont proviennent <b>Royksopp</b> et les <b>Kings Of Convenience</b>... On les avaient découvert avec leur mini-hit "Nikita" présent sur la compilation <b>Tellé Records</b> (toujours annoncée et attendue en vinyle), qui est déjà devenu une rérérence, mais cet extrait de leur formidable "A Special EP", "Clouds", est peut-être le moins bon titre des 4 présents sur le single... Dont deux sont disponibles à l'écoute en RealAudio sur la même page. Ouf! Un petit reproche tout de même: ça ressemble quand même pas mal à <b>Saint Etienne</b>...<br>
