Atomic Tom
has played DBMC in 2008 and 2010.

In January 2010 the band signed to Universal Republic Records.The band gained international fame after they performed their single "Take Me Out" on four iPhones on the New York City subway B train. The fictional premise of the video is that the band's instruments have been stolen and that they improvised using their iPhones. The band's first public album, "The Moment," debuted on iTunes, Amazon, and all virtual stores on July 27, 2010. The physical copy became available in stores in November 2010. The band's debut EP, "Anthems For The Disillusioned," was released in 2005 and contained five songs. In 2007 the band released their single "You Always Get What You Want". The single included B-Side "Play That Dirty Girl". In February 2011 the band recorded a music video for the 80's film "Take Me Home Tonight," starring Topher Grace, Anna Faris and Teresa Palmer, which will be released in March 2011.

ALLISON TARTALIA

NEW YORK SINGER-SONGWRITER ALLISON TARTALIA NOMINATED FOR EMMY FOR WORK ON
DOCUMENTARY 5,000 MILES FROM HOME

October 20, 2010 (New York, NY) ? New York singer-songwriter Allison
Tartalia is nominated for an Emmy Award by the Academy of Television Arts
and Sciences in the category of Outstanding Achievement for Individual
Excellence Off Camera: Music Composition/Arrangement for the score of the
documentary film, 5,000 Miles From Home.. She shares the nomination with
JoAnn Robertozzi and Jamie Fillmore. The three composers were also
honored with a Bronze Telly for their work on the documentary earlier this
year.

5,000 Miles From Home is a sensitive and poignant documentary, which
explores the struggles and successes of first generation Italian American
WWII Veterans from Chicago's Little Italy. In addition to the nomination
for the social score, 5,000 Miles from Home was nominated in 4 additional
categories, including Outstanding Achievement for Documentary Programs ?
Historic Significance and Outstanding Achievement for Individual
Excellence Off Camera in the areas of Writing, Editing and Audio. The film
was made possible by the Italian American Veterans Museum and Library in Chicago, IL.

A classically trained pianist and multi-instrumentalist, Allison draws
upon diverse influences to create her unique brand of orchestral chamber
pop. Her debut CD, Ready, was enthusiastically greeted by critics, and
resulted in several regional tours. Recently, Allison was named a
finalist in the Solarfest Songwriter Showcase, and the CT Folk Festival
and Songwriter?s Beat song contests, and she has made numerous festival
appearances this summer and fall throughout the Northeast and Midwest. In
2007, Allison?s first foray into musical theatre as composer and arranger,
1918: A House Divided, book and lyrics by Barbara Kahn, was produced by
the Pulitzer Prize-winning Theater for the New City, and an original cast
recording was released in 2008. She is currently working on another
collaboration with Kahn, set to debut at Theater for the New City in March 2011.

Her latest project, the Sweet and Vicious EP, was produced by Grammy Award
winner Michael Leonhart (Steely Dan, Lenny Kravitz, Yoko Ono) and will be released early in 2011.

Dewey Beach is likely one of the most artist friendly music conferences of which I have had the pleasure of being a part. I appreciate that the focus of this conference is on networking. While I came as a panelist to share any knowledge or information I have that might help indie artists, it was great to actually have the time to sit down and speak with some of them about their hopes, goals, and dreams. It just so happens that we are in the market for a couple of bands, and we saw some great ones at Dewey Beach. I highly recommend Dewey Beach to artists who are looking to further their careers.Thank YOU, Jim. Dewey Beach was an AWESOME experience. We can’t wait to come back next year!..”

Colourslide needs your Help!

Dewey Beach Alumni and fans,

Please help out Colourslide.

On Sunday, March 21st the band was traveling back to Florida from the SXSW Music Festival in Austin, TX. They had a terrific week performing and seeing other favorite artists. Just outside of New Orleans when they were approaching a bridge, their trailer was clipped from behind by a hit and run driver. The accident was horrible. The van and all the gear was totaled. The guardrail is the only thing that saved them from plummeting into the water. No one should have survived.

As you can see, Colourslide is a band worth saving...Spread the word and please donate today!
