RadioViolet + Vegas with Randolph (CD Release) + Darling Waste + Devil Walk as Saints

Radioviolet was created by Michael S Terpak originally as a solo project. After releasing the first album "Just Like Yesterday" he reinvented the project adding a full lineup of new members and transforming it into the rock band it is today. The band's first release since the major overhaul was their "In My Shadow" EP which has gained airplay on DC101 and features their first official music video.

VWR's newest CD "Above The Blue" will be unveiled at their CD Release Party Oct 10, 2011 at Jammin' Java in Vienna, VA! VWR's 2008 debut CD was called "brilliant, hook-filled...a "home run!", "an extremely strong, out of nowhere debut", and "a pop delight...that deserves attention in the power pop community," and their music has been compared to Fountains of Wayne, Fastball, and Sloan, among others. This month, VWR has returned with a CD that Mike Lidskin calls "sheer powerpop perfection" and "blissful pop songwriting at it's finest", their second offering "Above The Blue".

At the nucleus of VWR is the songwriting partnership of John Ratts and Eric Kern. Since starting in high school in their mid-western hometown, the duo has penned hundreds of songs, received radio airplay on stations worldwide, and won several awards (including a 2010 "Song of the Year" Twirlie from Sacramento's Twirl Radio, a 2010 "Modern Rock Recording of the Year" Wammie, and 8 other nominations between 2008 and 2010 by the Washington Area Music Association (WAMA). The band also includes the accomplished and highly creative musicians Dan Aylestock on bass, David Purol and Brock Harris on guitars, and Danny Aylestock on drums.

Vegas With Randolph is currently preparing for live dates in support of "Above The Blue" (including November's International Pop Overthrow Festival in NYC), and is working on material for a third CD which they hope to commence in late 2011.
