]]> Thu, 08 Jul 2010 04:20:00 GMT DA44936E160746E916A6E54707B15969 Please Welcome My Empire To The Octave Family! http://octaverevolt.com/octavenews.cfm?feature=1080712&postid=344998 <a href="./ourclients.cfm">My Empire was formed in 2008 by Luke Wright, Nate Thompkins, and Chris St. John. After putting up fliers in a local music shop, they found a drummer named Ryan Aracena. In April of 2008, they played their first show with a singer, only to have him quit halfway through the year. While holding auditions for a new singer, the band proved that the show really must go on, and continued to perform with no vocalist. However, My Empire was persistent and carried on with auditions, finally finding their new permanent singer, Tanner Hall. Shortly after Hall joined the band, the group recorded their first demo CD. My Empire's influences come from a broad variety of styles and genres, ranging from bands like Tool, Dream Theater, and Coheed and Cambria, to more mainstream bands such as Foo Fighters, Red Hot Chili Peppers, and Incubus. It's hard to pinpoint just one gnere or style for this band because, just like their influences, My Empire's songs range from heavier styles, like their song &quot;Punch Me,&quot; to a ballad-type song like &quot;Knock Me Down,&quot; and the rest cover everything in between. My Empire has played everywhere from a local billiard hall in Ellington, a church carnival in Tolland, and Toad's Plce in New Haven. My Empire has also been featured on The Rock 106.9 WCCC's Homegrown show during the week of June. Shows have been lined up this summer for a &quot;DIY&quot; tour to promote their music, funded by their own hard earnings. All in all, My Empire is a band that wants to rock a crowd with energy while also having fun doing it. Doing whatever it takes to reach their goals, whether they be personal or band related, they have all devoted a great deal of their own time, energy, and money into something that not only do they believe in, but something that they know can reach out toa lot of different people. But at the end of the day when all is said and done, they love music and will do whatever it takes to get to the top. My Empire was formed in 2008 by Luke Wright, Nate Thompkins, and Chris St. John.

Take five unique individuals, add angst, determination, and passion and what you get is Ocecmic. Ocecmic has died and been reborn about 3 times, because of its quest for a unique sound. It was first born in the summer of 2005 when drummer Chilango wanted to start a band with friend (then guitarist) Carlos. They then sought after guitarist S.Ministry to throw into the mix. In search of a vocalist S.Ministry found a hidden talent in an old schoolmate, Justin Sane.With 2 songs and no bass player something wasn't clicking. Ocecmic was forced to rid the band of guitar player Carlos, while picking up bassist Anderson. After breaking through in their debut year of 2009(releasing their debut EP &quot;The 5th Sun&quot;,establishing a growing fanbase,and playing countless live shows around Connecticut and making amazing new friends along the way) Anderson was let go from the band due to personal conflicts within the group. Searching for a bigger sound, Enter Samhain and Richie Rage. Bass player Samhain and 2nd guitarist/ 2nd vocalist Richie rage add a bigger more aggressive element to the band. With Ocecmic now being complete and their star rising more and more everyday, they are ready to take on the world and squeeze it for everything its worth! Ocecmic is here, Ocecmic will never die!

We're knee-deep in Day One of the Film Fest and everything is running smoothly! Everybody is very excited for tonight's showing of the documentary &quot;The Wrecking Crew&quot;&nbsp;(tickets are still available!)&nbsp;and tomorrow promises even more fun and excitement! The Connecticut Film Festival has transformed Downtown Danbury into a little slice of Hollywood! From today,&nbsp;May 4th through Sunday May 9th, the Film Fest hosts more movies, music, and workshops than you can shake a stick at! Stay tuned throughout the rest of the week as we bring you the Red Carpet treatment with many, many highlights to look forward to! Looking ahead to Thursday, things REALLY start to heat up! In addition to movies, the film education and New Media workshops begin, as well as incredible live music at Danbury's best music venues. As always, CityCenter Danbury will be manning the front lines to bring you all the highlights! Stay tuned, and remember... There's Something Going On Downtown! <a name="1286548d0e2e3e55_LETTER.BLOCK5" style="color: rgb(20, 125, 186); "> The Palace Presents Night 2:&nbsp; 10 Mountains 10 Years! With special introduction by Leeza Gibbons, narrated by Anne Hathaway, and a soundtrack including songs by Bruce Springsteen, Philip Giffin, Genji Nakano, ZOX, FourWayFree, and Loretta Hagen. &quot;10 Mountains 10 Years&quot; chronicles the epic of an international team of mountain climbers who are climbing 10 mountains on 6 continents in a decade to raise awareness for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. The film gives an inside look at the parallel climbs happening in the medical community alongside the team's endurance at altitude. It is a story of hope and of regular people coming together to change this world and leave something better behind. The dream to create this documentary feature film began in 2006. It was a conversation between friends and a list of one impossible goal after another. In this 3-year labor of love, we've learned that when you give your heart to the right thing for the right reasons, the dreams will come to you. Thousands of people across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Africa came together to make this film a reality. It is our hope that audiences will feel the passion and enjoy inspiration to utilize their own passions in life for the greater good of others. Thank you to everyone for supporting the journey!

Day 2
Dear Friends of CityCenter,

The Connecticut Film Festival is here!

We're knee-deep in Day One of the Film Fest and everything is running smoothly! Everybody is very excited for tonight's showing of the documentary "The Wrecking Crew" (tickets are still available!) and tomorrow promises even more fun and excitement!

The Connecticut Film Festival has transformed Downtown Danbury into a little slice of Hollywood! From today, May 4th through Sunday May 9th, the Film Fest hosts more movies, music, and workshops than you can shake a stick at! Stay tuned throughout the rest of the week as we bring you the Red Carpet treatment with many, many highlights to look forward to!

Looking ahead to Thursday, things REALLY start to heat up! In addition to movies, the film education and New Media workshops begin, as well as incredible live music at Danbury's best music venues.

As always, CityCenter Danbury will be manning the front lines to bring you all the highlights! Stay tuned, and remember...

There's Something Going On Downtown!
The Palace Presents Night 2: 
10 Mountains 10 Years!

10 Mountains 10 Years
With special introduction by Leeza Gibbons, narrated by Anne Hathaway, and a soundtrack including songs by Bruce Springsteen, Philip Giffin, Genji Nakano, ZOX, FourWayFree, and Loretta Hagen. "10 Mountains 10 Years" chronicles the epic of an international team of mountain climbers who are climbing 10 mountains on 6 continents in a decade to raise awareness for Alzheimer's and Parkinson's Disease. The film gives an inside look at the parallel climbs happening in the medical community alongside the team's endurance at altitude. It is a story of hope and of regular people coming together to change this world and leave something better behind.

The dream to create this documentary feature film began in 2006. It was a conversation between friends and a list of one impossible goal after another. In this 3-year labor of love, we've learned that when you give your heart to the right thing for the right reasons, the dreams will come to you. Thousands of people across the United States, Canada, Europe, and Africa came together to make this film a reality. It is our hope that audiences will feel the passion and enjoy inspiration to utilize their own passions in life for the greater good of others. Thank you to everyone for supporting the journey!
