SPM MUSIC BIZ is proud to present MAMAZON and THE HECK with TOXIN plus SUBMISSION, on Friday January 7th, 2005.

A LITTLE DIDDLY ABOUT THE BANDS:
MAMAZON http://www.mamazonrock.com
MAMAZON's music is best described as well written hard rock loaded with catchy hooks, melody lines and plenty of substance. The influence and styles that lend to creating MAMAZON's unique sound will appeal to a variety of music lovers. Heavy to chill guitar riffs, vibrant keyboards and a throbbing rhythm section blend with powerfull vocals
to create an original hard rock act with a dazzling high energy live show.

THE HECK
Teen Phenoms? Exactly!!! 'The heck' is the brainchild of guitar protégé Bryan Steeksma. Bryan started out playing as a four year old on his father's guitar strumming along to Fred Penner while watching TV. .
Combining the guitar histrionics of legendary greats and influenced by Dave Grohl, Bryan had a starting point for 'The heck'.Amanda Hamilton lays down a heavy beat reminiscent of Jon Bonham's four on the floor style and does so while delivering pure angelic vocal harmonies. Although Amanda is a multi-instrumentalist her first instrument is drums. She lists Led Zepplin and the Beatles as two of her main influences. Parker Bossley at an early
age has been exposed to many different styles of music. Tired of bass players who follow the same formula for every song, Parker strays away from the average, and always strives to write technical and original bass lines.
His love for music and self-expression keeps him itching to write and play. Parker's style is reminiscent of great players such as "Jack Bruce" of The Cream and he is the perfect bass counterpart to Bryan s guitar lines.
Visually Parker explodes on stage from the get-go, his fearless presence and focus on his instrument is complete and mesmerizing.

TOXIN http://www.toxin.ca/Toxin.htm
A toxin is not the creation of this band, but a definition of the music itself. We use our songs as an emotional outlet, to rid ourselves of the negativity crawling within. The result is a musical explosion of passion and energy when Toxin hits the stage. Cam's powerful voice and emotionally
charged lyrics front the band with the intense groove of Lex's bass and the soaring melodic guitar of Travis filling in the blanks. The dynamic and potent rhythms of Damian provide the foundation of Toxin's energetic rock
sound. Toxin brings music back to what it is meant to be: an art form. Beautiful yet disturbing, Toxin?s music can be heartfelt and emotional, yet overwhelmingly powerful in the same instance. It is this force that binds the group, and this force thatbrings to light the energy that Toxin
transcend with their music.
