10T RECORDS RELEASES "10T: UNDERCOVER"
CHARLESTON, South Carolina – August 12, 2009 (10T Records) – 10T Records is excited to announce the pending release of the CD "Undercover" on September 15, 2009. "Undercover" is the label’s first compilation project, featuring never before heard performances from the 10T roster of artists.
The concept behind "Undercover" is simple. The label asked each of its artists to select a song by another artist that was influential in the development of their own musical identity; a composition that might not sound exactly like what that 10T Records artist has evolved into, but one that significantly inspired their creativity at some point in their musical past. The mission was then to not simply do a faithful cover of that song, but to reinterpret the tune such that it represented where the artists musically find themselves currently.
"This collection’s purpose is to pay homage to superb artists from our distant and recent past while providing our listeners with a unique view into the current mindset of these talented musicians with whom 10T Records is honored to be associated," says 10T Records president Steve Carroll. "We hope everyone enjoys these recordings as much as we and the artists involved enjoyed putting it together."

- FROM.UZ - Starless and Bible Black/King Crimson

FROGG CAFÉ PLANNING FOR A SUMMER 2009 STUDIO RELEASE
Frogg Café is having a great time recording this new one and is getting towards the end of laying down all the tracks. This one is a beast to record compared to our last studio efforts. It's going to be about 76 minutes of new music with more complex arrangements then we've ever tried to pull off before in several different progressive rock styles. Less than 40% of this album has ever been performed live! This one is with the original line-up of the band:
Nick Lieto - lead vox, trumpet, keys
Bill Ayasse - violin, mandolin, vox
Frank Camiola - guitar and chicken noises
James "sticks of fire" Guarnieri - drums and overall cuteness
Andrew Sussman - bass, cello, acoustic guitar
Plus an additional cast of thousands including John Lieto on trombone, Dennis Lippe (Foxy Moon Baby) on guitar, Steve Sussman (Andy’s dad) on clarinet, Vessela Stoyanova (Fluttr Effect and Goli) on marimba, and many more TBA.
Much more info to be announced very soon including track titles and descriptions of the tunes, as well as the title of the album and cover art which we are in the process of ironing even out as you read this. Also please check us out at Pandora Radio where we are now catalogued or at www.archive.org where we have posted our most recent in-studio jam titled The Revealing Science of Wad recorded this past November.
