Stock Pumper's Manual

I’ve personally not shorted a stock at this point, but I do sometimes buy PUTs or enter into bearish option strategies (which I guess, technically, is similar to shorting). I do, however, believe that retail-pumpers cost retail-longs a lot more than retail-bashers ever will.

How to recognize Stock Pumpers on Message boards, newsgroups and in chat rooms A counter discussion to the “Paid Basher’s Manual” found on http://www.novakcapital.com/bashers.htm

LEARNING is a process and an evolution. Learning is not all fluff. Learning is a process of awareness and unfolding development; one must be willing to work at it though.

A year ago when I asked broker friends of mine if the internet message boards will have any affect on a stock. They ALL laughed at me and said those idiots having an affect on a stock!

A truth: IT IS EASIER TO SCARE PEOPLE INTO SELLING THAN IT IS TO INFORM PEOPLE INTO BUYING A STOCK. But once they’ve committed their money to a stock, it is much easier to keep them holding on to a losing position than it is to scare them away. Its human nature to hate to lose, and if you sell a stock at a loss, you are admitting that you made a mistake when you bought it..

Well I asked those same friends this last week, and the answer from all YES! message boards and ""shorts & longs" (some) can manipulate with lies, and deceit.

Now think about that, you have elderly that invest and find their way to the message boards only to see false posts about “the next big move”, claims of insider information, or justification for a future by out. Or you have a Yuppie with a kid to put in college going to these message boards only to see posts by 15-20 (probably 5 or 6 under alias) "pack of pumpers", or even 1 main “shepherd” leading his flock of “sheep”… all are posting the same false information about the news that is about to be released. What do you think they will do ?

Or

It's easier to sit on (or hold) a stock than it is to admit that one has made a mistake when they purchased it in the first place – especially at a loss! THAT'S WHO THE PACK OF PUMPERS PRAY ON AND DEPEND ON. They want the stock to go up, but don’t believe that it can under its own power! Understand? And they have just as much money and risk as you. But they have the edge of fear, lies, falsehoods to post and to keep others holding their positions which they hope will minimize the drop in the stock price.

Lesson 1: Remember, PUMPERS NEVER PUMP A GOOD STOCK. Watch the board for stocks with strong potential. They never have any pumpers. Pumpers only go after stocks that are going downwards or have excellent potential to go down. Pumpers get left behind, so they want to bring the price up.

Lesson 2: PUMPERS BRING UP OLD NEWS THAT YOU HAVE HEARD MANY TIMES. All companies always have a few bits of good and bad news. The pumper will post the good news over and over again. The stupid pumper will try to make the old news a bit fresher to try to fool you.

Lesson 3: PUMPERS POST MANY TIMES A DAY IF THE STOCK PRICE GOES UP, BUT MAY GO SILENT ON DAYS WHEN THE PRICE PULLS BACK. Pumpers can answer every question except those that involve facts that are contrary to their position. There is no negative comment they won't bash. They try to control the board. When all else fails pumpers resort to personal attacks against those who don’t support a stock.

Lesson 4: PUMPERS WILL LIE TO YOUR FACE. Never trust a pumper. The truth on all companies is that mistakes are made and losses happen, and things go right and profits happen. The pumper will try to make you believe that the company they are pumping can only make minor errors... THIS IS NOT TRUE. THE PUMPERS LIE TO YOU. Companies with falling stock prices are frequently making more than minor errors, this is the nature of the beast.

Lesson 5: The pumpers know YOU CAN'T VERIFY THEIR STATEMENTS. That's why they make the statements they do.

Lesson 6: The pumpers PLAY ON YOUR LACK OF KNOWLEDGE. They can lie about information and you couldn't know the difference (unless you have done your assessment of the company and know the truth and facts).

Lesson 7: Pumpers play on your patience. YOU have held a microcap stock for a while. You knew it will be a madcap stock someday, but the PUMPER CAN GET TO YOU BECAUSE YOUR HUMAN NATURE WANTS TO KEEP YOU FROM ADMITTING THAT YOU ARE HOLDING A LOSING POSITION. That's when the pumper is best. You are proud. You have forgotten the commitment was to keep your losses small and your profit big. The pumper is bothersome, so you hold it through bad day after bad day. Some others buy, and the stock goes up a little bit. Then you feel justified for holding and return to let everyone know how glad you are for holding. Then you turn into a pumper as well. THE PUMPER HAS WON, AND GAINED A NEW PARTNER TOO!

Lesson 8: HOLD THE PRICE UP. That is the pumper’s job. The truth is not important. Lies are the norm. Post continuously on the board every day. They are trying to hit the newbies visiting the board. They are trying to wear out the critical discussions on the board. They do whatever it takes to wear the shorts out.

Lesson 9: PUMPERS WILL TRY TO CREATE DOUBT AND GET YOU TO RESEARCH ITEMS THAT THEY KNOW WILL LEAD TO THE CREATION OF DOUBT IN YOU AND IN OTHER STOCKHOLDERS. A typical trick of an advanced pumper is to propose that there is a potential news release coming, but because "we" don't have the facts on a particular subject we don’t know the unshared details. The pumper dares someone in the group to find out the answer to the question. The pumper already knows the answer; the pumper already knows what will be found. The power of this tactic is that the pumper is now in control of the actions of the stockholders; the pumper has you, the stockholder doing HIS/HER due diligence and when you, the stockholder come back to the group with a questionable finding then the pumper gains credibility. What to do??? Solution??? Well, I think it's important to find answers but on your own terms. I actually pick up the phone and call the company and talk to the investor relations person or the CEO until I get a satisfactory answer. The problem here is that the advanced pumper has you doing his bidding and his work; you have essentially joined his ranks. So, develop your own little Due Diligence package and answer questions by placing the information into the package and referring all new investors to read the answers to questions raised in the Investor Information package but DON'T GET INTO A CONVERSATION WITH THE PUMPER REGARDING THE TOPIC. THAT IS WHERE YOU LOSE. DON'T CONVERSE WITH THE PUMPER; ANSWER INDIRECTLY; DON'T USE THE PUMPER’S NAME; DON'T GET INTO A PERSONALITY CONTEST.

A PUMPER’S HANDBOOK: know the enemy who wishes gain at your expense! Do not underestimate a pumpers influence on a stock. The Pro's are good at what they do and what they do is profit from your losses. Below is their "hand-book" so to speak. Learn from it or donate your money to those who make an organized plan to profit at your expense!

PUMPERS DO THE FOLLOWING:
1. Be anonymous
2. Use 10% fact. 90% suggestion. The facts will lend credibility to your suggestions.
3. Let others help you learn about the stock. Build rapport and a support base before initiating your pumping routine.
4. Enter w/ humor and reply to all who reply to you.
5. Use multiple ISP's, handles and aliases.
6. Use two (2) or more aliases to simulate a discussion.
7. Do not start with an all out pump of the stock. Build to it.
8. Identify your foes (bashers) and the boards "guru" Use them to your advantage. Lead them do not follow their lead. Ideally, you will become the board’s guru.
9. Only pump until the tide/momentum turns. Let doubt carry it the rest of the way.
10. Give the appearance of being open minded.
11. Be bold in your statements. People follow strength.
12. Write headlines in with catchy statements.
13. Pour it on as your position gains momentum. Not your personality.
14. Don't worry about being labeled a "pumper". Newbies won't know your history, and you are supporting their choice to purchase the stock in the first place.
15. When identified put up a brief fight, then back off. Return later unless your foe is a weak in reasoning powers.
16. Your goal is to limit the momentum of the drop. Not to make the company blast off; be subtle and consistent.
17. Kill the fears of losses, promote the company and the stock.
18. Use questions to create critical thinking. Statements to reinforce facts.
THAT CAN BE PROVEN, NAME CALLING AND PROFANITY AGAINST SHORTS IS ENCOURAGED.
20. Tell people that you have called the company. They'll take your word for claims made. If they do call to verify you can always find something that is missing from their response.
21. Encourage people to take the companies word for everything. Encourage them to call the company. They won't out of laziness.
22. If the companies history/PR's are positive constantly point to that. Compile a list of this data prior to beginning your efforts.
23. If the price falls blame it on temporary outside influences, temporary mass reaction, the market, etc. Anything but the stock / company itself.
24. If other posters share your thoughts, play on that and share theirs too.
25. Always cite high volume, even when it's not.
26. Three or four aliases can dominate a board.
27. Bait the bashers with personal attacks putting their focus/efforts on you and not the stock or facts. Divert their attention from facts. Show them the facts from a "different angle."
28. Bash other stocks that would-be investors can turn to instead of the one you’re pumping.
30. Do not fall for challenges on the "values" of what you are doing, it's a game and you are playing it with your own rules.

GRADE YOUR FAVORITE PUMPER:

Advanced Pumper:
Will join the message board early and actually "bash" the stock with negatives; this pumper is very intelligent, has the facts of the company, actually helps shorts with Due Diligence and generally gets the confidence of the bears. Then, when the stock hits their price, the tone will change and they will start asking longs to check into this and check into that. The seeds of doubt are being planted. This pumper will then start using all the tactics listed on this page to create seeds of doubt. ALWAYS LOOK AT THE PROFILE OF A PERSON YOU SUSPECT. ASK WHAT STOCKS THEY'VE "SUPPORTED" IN THE PAST AND CHECK OUT THE MESSAGE BOARD. An honest person will have a positive track record that can be followed. I strongly believe that a contrary view is needed but this person is out to profit at your expense\ and does it by deception and creates hope after gaining confidence! BEWARE, this is the most clever pumper and the hardest to spot.

Grade A Pumper:
Posts lots of old news, responds to all negative posts with a positive side. Never responds to being called a pumper, never posts on another board. Can spend up to hours each week pumping a stock.

Grade B Pumper:
Very good way with words, always claims to be your "friend" taking the negative poster into confidence, never posts on another board; spends hours each week.

Grade C Pumper:
Spends less time than the others but is somewhat effective and gets a C grade due to getting excited when pumper’s rules say not to get excited; spends several hours each week.

Grade D Pumper:
Needs to learn the basics about being convincing when making a positive statement. Spends a good amount of time working the stock.

Grade D Pumper: A complete idiot, most readers are not convinced he knows anything about stocks in general. The type that says a stock "rocks", but gives no rationale, shows up every so often but no regular schedule.

WHY PUMP?: MONEY (the usual reason), SPORT, ENTERTAINMENT. Some pumpers are compelled to pump because they simply need to justify their investment choice to themselves, so they must do it. It's a sad fact but never the less, a fact. It's life so you must learn how to deal with it or become a victim!

LEARN ABOUT HOW STOCK PUMPERS WORK: Very few pumpers are paid… just like there are very few bashers who are paid. There are just too many people out there doing the work for free for a fund to justify the extra expense.

NEVER ENGAGE A STOCK PUMPER; if you do so then YOU BECOME THE PUMPER'S AID!

Read the news, do your own homework and make your own decisions. Get real time quotes and follow the stock for a couple of weeks. Due Diligence is key here. Know that there will be a time when the stock runs up which will be followed by the Bashers and those that missed the boat. The pumpers will praise the stock by saying such things as "it’s a minor setback" and "the SEC is lying" and deceiving. There goal is to encourage longs to hold and potential new investors to buy, by falsely supporting the company. Take the time to confirm your Due Diligence, ,trust your own judgment and believe in yourself, pick your point of return or loss and live with it. Don't listen to pumpers or bashers and live by the rules you have created.

The Justin Bieber Biography
Justin Bieber Biography – Introduction
The Justin Bieber biography consists of the written accounts of the well – renowned Canadian pop rhythm and blues singer. According to the Justin Bieber biography, Justin Drew Bieber in real life was born on the first day of March 1994 to Jeremy Bieber and Pattie Malette in London, Ontario. As he was growing, we learned from Justin Bieber biography that he started to love music by playing different kinds of musical instruments like the piano, guitar, drums and the trumpet. During the early days of the year 2007, at twelve, Bieber rendered a version of Neyo’s popular song called So Sick and come up second in a local singing competition. As stated in the Justin Bieber biography, his mother posted his song rendition in the YouTube to be accessible to friends and relatives who were not able to see him perform live. She uploaded more videos of Bieber’s renditions of different rhythm and blues songs and from then on, Bieber became famous for his performance on the website.

The discovery of Justin Bibber’s road to stardom was quite unexpected as reported on the Justin Bieber biography. A So So Def previous marketing executive named Scooter Braun encountered Bieber while he was going through videos of a particular artist in the YouTube. Impressed with what he saw, he traced Justin Bieber through his mother. When they met in Atlanta, Georgia, Bieber started rendering songs for the famous songwriter Usher and eventually signed a contract with Raymond Braun Media Group which is both owned by Usher and Braun. These occurrences are clearly stated in the Justin Bieber biography. The company then made arrangements with the recording company Island Def Jam Music Group to let Bieber perform in auditions. Ultimately, they acquired a record deal in October of 2008. Scooter Braun then became Justin Bieber’s manager. Information from the Justin Bieber biography stated that although he was raised in Stratford, Ontario, Justin Bieber now has moved to Atlanta, Georgia with his mother. He lives in a district located uptown within the city called Buckhead. This is a suburban location oftentimes is referred to as the Beverly Hills of the South as jotted in the Justin Bieber biography.

Justin Bieber Biography - Songs Released
In the narration of Justin Bieber biography, his single entitled One Time was played out in the radio stations making it to the top 12 in its July 2009 release on the Canadian Hot 100. Then it reached to top 17 on Billboard Hot 100. Later in 2009, One Time became platinum in North America and became a gold record in the Australian continent. His debut album called My World reached platinum and silver in America and United Kingdom, respectively. According to the Justin Bieber biography, the singer endorsed his album by showing off actual performances in shows like MTV, The Ellen DeGeneres show, Good Morning America show, Chelsea Lately and other prominent television programs. He also made an appearance in True Jackson once in 2009. In the chronicles of the Justin Bieber biography, during the holiday season of 2009, Justin Bieber made quite an impression in the White House in front of the President and his better half by singing his own version of Someday at Christmas originally performed by Stevie Wonder. Through the Justin Bieber biography, he was known to have multitude of appearances, for instance, he was made a presenter in the 52nd Grammy Awards which was held early this year. Another famous song entitled Baby featuring Ludacris which is part of his inaugural album was considered a huge success making it to top five in the American billboards and one among the ten favorite songs in about seven nations. Facts from Justin Bieber biography stated that there were also other singles such as Never Let You Go and U Smile that made it to the top in Billboard 200 of America. Bieber is by far known as the protégée of Stevie Wonder who topped the chart at a young age and this is specified in the Justin Bieber biography.

Justin Bieber biography commented that he started his promotional tour called the My World Tour on the 23rd of June this year. The tour has a head start in Hartford, Connecticut as accounted on the Justin Bieber biography. He is the most sought after personality. Supported by the Justin Bieber biography, not only does he an excellent performer in the world of music, but he is also a famous teen actor. He is seen in episodes of the prominent television drama of the CBS network called CSI: Crime Scene Investigation which is out on air last September 23. As reported on Justin Bieber biography, he is also scheduled to act in a three-dimensional motion picture which will be released on February of 2011.

It was also stated in the Justin Bieber biography that his prominence has caused repercussions in terms of safety. There was an incident where his live performance had to be cancelled because the crowd went wild and became uncontrollable. Some avid fans of Bieber were slightly injured. It was also stated in the Justin Bieber biography that on that incident the manager of Bieber, Scooter Braun was imprisoned for reasons of irresponsible menace and reprehensible vexation. He was later released though. There was also another incident in Australia where the law enforcers had to revoke a concert after a stampede hurt avid fans of the performer. Justin Bieber also has been a scapegoat for harsh criticisms as noted in the Justin Bieber biography in terms of his looks, music, iconic image, constancy in the limelight and most especially his mannerisms which could be associated with femininity in nature. As was notable in the Justin Bieber biography, mischief and absurdities are most popular in the Internet to destroy such a prominent figure in the world of entertainment. There was even a time as narrated by Justin Bieber biography that there were reports in adult websites that Bieber died in a car mishap, and in another time it was disseminated that his mother was offered to pose nude on a magazine in exchange for a huge amount of money.

Girls his age would swoon over to this iconic pop artist who is according to the Tiger Beat teen magazine, an epitome of youth and talent.

Lady Gaga - Born This Way

2011-03-12T06:26:00.000-08:00

When Lady Gaga was a little girl, she would sing along on her mini plastic tape recorder to Michael Jackson and Cyndi Lauper hits and get twirled in the air in daddy’s arms to the sounds of the Rolling Stones and the Beatles. The precocious child would dance around the table at fancy Upper West Side restaurants using the breadsticks as a baton. And, she would innocently greet a new babysitter in nothing but her birthday suit.

It’s no wonder that little girl from a good Italian New York family, turned into the exhibitionist, multi-talented singer-songwriter with a flair for theatrics that she is today: Lady Gaga.

“I was always an entertainer. I was a ham as a little girl and I’m a ham today,” says Lady Gaga, 23, who made a name for herself on the Lower East Side club scene with the infectious dance-pop party song “Beautiful Dirty Rich,” and wild, theatrical, and often tongue-in-cheek “shock art” performances where Gaga – who designs and makes many of her stage outfits -- would strip down to her hand-crafted hot pants and bikini top, light cans of hairspray on fire, and strike a pose as a disco ball lowered from the ceiling to the orchestral sounds of A Clockwork Orange.

“I always loved rock and pop and theater. When I discovered Queen and David Bowie is when it really came together for me and I realized I could do all three,” says Gaga, who nicked her name from Queen’s song “Radio Gaga” and who cites rock star girlfriends, Peggy Bundy, and Donatella Versace as her fashion icons. “I look at those artists as icons in art. It’s not just about the music. It’s about the performance, the attitude, the look; it’s everything. And, that is where I live as an artist and that is what I want to accomplish.”

That goal might seem lofty, but consider the artist: Gaga is the girl who at age 4 learned piano by ear. By age 13, she had written her first piano ballad. At 14, she played open mike nights at clubs such as New York’s the Bitter End by night and was teased for her quirky, eccentric style by her Convent of the Sacred Heart School (the Manhattan private school Nicky and Paris Hilton attended) classmates by day. At age 17, she became was one of 20 kids in the world to get early admission to Tisch School of the Arts at NYU. Signed by her 20th birthday and writing songs for other artists (such as the Pussycat Dolls, and has been asked to write for a series of Interscope artists) before her debut album was even released, Lady Gaga has earned the right to reach for the sky.

“My goal as an artist is to funnel a pop record to a world in a very interesting way,” says Gaga, who wrote all of her lyrics, all of her melodies, and played most of the synth work on her album, The Fame (Streamline/KonLive/Interscope). “I almost want to trick people into hanging with something that is really cool with a pop song. It’s almost like the spoonful of sugar and I’m the medicine.”

On The Fame, it’s as if Gaga took two parts dance-pop, one part electro-pop, and one part rock with a splash of disco and burlesque and generously poured it into the figurative martini glasses of the world in an effort to get everyone drunk with her Fame. “The Fame is about how anyone can feel famous,” she explains. “Pop culture is art. It doesn’t make you cool to hate pop culture, so I embraced it and you hear it all over The Fame. But, it’s a sharable fame. I want to invite you all to the party. I want people to feel a part of this lifestyle.”

The CD’s opener and first single, “Just Dance,” gets the dance floor rocking with it’s “fun, L.A., celebratory vibe.” As for the equally catchy, “Boys Boys Boys,” Gaga doesn’t mind wearing her influences on her sleeve. “I wanted to write the female version of Motley Crue’s ‘Girls Girls Girls,’ but with my own twist. I wanted to write a pop song that rockers would like.”

“Beautiful Dirty Rich” sums up her time of self-discovery, living in the Lower East Side and dabbling in drugs and the party scene. “That time, and that song, was just me trying to figure things out,” says Gaga. “Once I grabbed the reigns of my artistry, I fell in love with that more than I did with the party life.” On first listen, “Paparazzi” might come off as a love song to cameras, and in all honestly, Gaga jokes “on one level it IS about wooing the paparazzi and wanting fame. But, it’s not to be taken completely seriously. It’s about everyone’s obsession with that idea. But, it’s also about wanting a guy to love you and the struggle of whether you can have success or love or both.”

Gaga shows her passion for love songs on such softer tracks as the Queen-influenced “Brown Eyes” and the sweet kiss-off break-up song “Nothing I can Say (eh eh).” “‘Brown Eyes’ is the most vulnerable song on the album,” she explains. “‘Eh Eh’ is my simple pop song about finding someone new and breaking up with the old boyfriend.”

For the new tour for this album, fans will be treated to a more polished version of what they saw (and loved) at her critically acclaimed Lollapalooza show in August 2007 and Winter Music Conference performance in March 2008. “This new show is the couture version of my handmade downtown performance of the past few years. It’s more fine-tuned, but some of my favorite elements to my past shows – the disco balls, hot pants, sequin, and stilettos – will still be there. Just more fierce and more of a conceptual show with a vision for pop performance art.”

It’s been a while since a new pop artist has made her way in the music industry the old-fashioned/grass roots way by paying her dues with seedy club gigs and self-promotion. This is one rising pop star who hasn’t been plucked from a model casting call, born into a famous family, won a reality TV singing contest, or emerged from a teen cable TV sitcom. “I did this the way you are supposed to. I played every club in New York City and I bombed in every club and then killed it in every club and I found myself as an artist. I learned how to survive as an artist, get real, and how to fail and then figure out who I was as singer and performer. And, I worked hard.”

Gaga adds with a wink in her eye, “And, now, I’m just trying to change the world one sequin at a time.”

Sociedad Tabú - Pantallas (Video Clip Oficial)

2011-02-22T13:44:00.000-08:00

De ti

Pantallas

Esta es una banda que se forma a finales del año 2001, cuando Alejandro (Maky ~ Guitarra Rítmica) y José Alberto (Beto ~ Lead Guitar) se juntan para formar el proyecto que hoy en día se conoce como "Sociedäd Tabú". A partir de este encuentro se unen Roberto Tavares (Batería) y Daniel García (Bajos), y fue entonces cuando empezó inmediatamente la experimentación entre estos músicos logrando darle una excelente base la banda. En busca de un vocalista, la banda experimentó con el ahora solista Fritz Abreu, ensayaron varios meses y comenzaron a formar un repertorio para el proyecto, pero aun Sociedäd Tabú no haría su primera aparición en vivo. Después de varios ensayos, Fritz no vuelve a participar mas con el proyecto y decide incursionar en su carrera como solista, es cuando Alejandro decide incluir a un antiguo amigo que solía cantar con el en un proyecto llamado Vedas. Hablamos de Omar Henríquez quien muy entusiasmado acepta la oferta de su amigo y se incluye entonces line up de la banda. Ensayaron varios meses el repertorio haciendo un sinnúmero de cambios, donde los temas fueron todos reconstruidos y adaptados al estilo con el cual se sentían más cómodos, introduciendo nuevos arreglos de guitarras y voces. Es cuando la banda empieza a buscar el sonido que estaban decididos conseguir combinando una diversidad de influencias que existen entre cada integrante, desde Heavy Rock y Metal hasta R&b, Soul y Blues. Luego de un tiempo los chicos deciden incluir un instrumento mas al experimento y es cuando se topan con David Taveras (Melaza ~ Teclados) el cual estaba a toda disposición para trabajar con los teclados en la banda y es aquí cuando la banda estaba completa y lista para empezar a grabar en estudio. .... Sociedäd Tabú ha sido considerada entre una de las mejores propuestas del rock local con una increíble presencia escénica y excelente sonido que motivan intensamente a sus espectadores. Definitivamente Sociedäd Tabú es una banda que ha dado mucho de que hablar. Su primera producción "Perdidos Entre un Sueño y La Realidad" fue lanzada el 11 de Febrero del 2006 en el bar llamado en ese entonces "El Rincón De La Zona". Para promocionar el disco la banda lanza el sencillo titulado "Eco". .... “Fue la primera canción que trabajamos para este primer disco. Es el tipo de canción que escucharías detenidamente para captar su verdadero mensaje, aunque todo es relativo. Las letras de esta canción hablan sobre una persona que desea unificar su cuerpo con otro y sentir el placer de esa unión cada segundo de su vida, irónicamente esta unión le ofrece la muerte, pero su deseo es tan intenso que esto no le importa”. (Omar Henríquez). .... .. El tema fue solicitado en las emisoras por seguidores de la banda y logró posicionarse en los conteos de la X102.1, Radio Listín 99.7 y La 95.7, tomando lugares importantes como 5 de las 30 favoritas en la x102.1. Constantemente el tema se escuchaba en la programación regular de cada una de estas emisoras y Sociedäd Tabú empezó a conocerse aun más. Es cuando entonces deciden lanzar un segundo sencillo de su producción para incrementar sus posibilidades de "exposure". .... Es cuando sale al aire el sencillo "Te Vas en Silencio". .... Te Vas en Silencio es una de las canciones mas agresivas que tenemos en este disco. Viajamos a ese rock puro e intenso de los años 60 y 70s Jimmy Hendrix, mezclandolo un poco con la era de Alice in Chains en los 90s. en cuanto a la letra, pues habla sobre la astucia de un individuo que al fin logra liberarse de aquella batalla donde le era imposible ganar o trascender. donde luchaba contra el engaño, la desconfianza, la envidia, la vanidad, el odio. Aveces Es mejor Callar y marcharse en silencio cuando realmente no puedes tener el control de la situacion que te enfrenta. (Omar Henriquez). .... Te Vas en Silencio al igual que Eco fueron un éxito en las emisoras locales, este llego a estar en 6 de las 30 favoritas en la X102.1 y por varias semanas 1 en el Conteo Local de Radio Listín 99.7 con su versión acústica que está también incluida en el disco "Perdidos Entre un Sueño y la Realidad". Después de este sencillo la banda hizo varias apariciones en vivo donde recibió bastante apoyo por parte de sus seguidores, presentándose en el Auditorio del Dominico Americano para el concierto Nitro Rock VI, organizado por Just More Records, disquera que actualmente representa a la banda, en la feria del Banco Mundial realizado en el Hotel Jaragua, en el Cinema Cafe, en Casa De Teatro, en fin estos son lugares donde Sociedäd Tabú constantemente se esta presentando para su público seguidor. Sus últimas dos presentaciones fueron Junto a Synesthesia el 17 de Noviembre del 2006 en el Cinema Café y el 24 de Noviembre del 2006 Junto a Shido y Joel Solano en Casa De Teatro. Primera dos presentaciones que hace la banda después de promocionar su mas reciente sencillo "Hasta Verte Regresar". .... “Esta canción tiene una onda mas o menos medieval a mi entender, tal vez estuvimos escuchando mucho rock progresivo como Rata Blanca, Mago De Oz, Megadeath en el momento de componer el tema y nos salio con tanta energía y fuerza. En cuanto a las letras, es un hombre obsesionado con algo que no puede tener, en este caso el cuerpo de una mujer. Es una obsesión tan intensa que en sus sueños logra conectarse con ella y olvida que lo que esta viviendo es irreal.

Futuros Divorciados - Venas Cortadas

2011-02-06T10:34:00.000-08:00

Sigo esperando

Venas Cortadas

Futuros Divorciados se formó en Santo Domingo en 2005. Tras seis meses ensayando y componiendo entraron al estudio a grabar su primer EP antes de tocar por primera vez en vivo. Las Canciones Del Cuarto Rojo salió en Septiembre de 2006 y se agotaron las dos primeras tiradas en dos meses. Los shows en vivo de Futuros y su trabajo constante en los medios y en la carretera les consiguieron una fanaticada underground que se extendía mucho más allá del limitado horizonte del rock local dominicano, y temas como Venas Cortadas y Aprender A Respirar se volvieron himnos de los fans a pesar de su escasa difusión en radio. En 2008 fueron nominados a un Casandra (Mejor Video por Ganas De Vivir), un premio Duma (Banda Rock Del Año) y un premio De La Casa del canal VM Latino de Costa Rica (de nuevo, por Ganas De Vivir). Tres semanas antes de su primera gira nacional se agregó el nuevo vocalista Mario Hernández a las filas de la banda. A fines de 2008 lanzan material nuevo, con un sonido más pop y electrónico. El primer sencillo con la nueva alineación, Sigo Esperando, fue un éxito radial alrededor del país, incluso en emisoras como Radio Disney, donde alcanzó las 10 primeras, un honor raras veces concedido a una banda de rock local. En la primavera de 2009 se lanzan a una nueva gira nacional.

Calor Urbano - Pa' Que No Pienses

2011-02-06T10:26:00.000-08:00

Calor Urbano is a band from the Dominican Republic that was formed in late 2002 when its members decided to make a mixture of the different musical styles that influenced them.

After some months of work, the band, with little more than a dozen songs, produced what later became their first single, Calor Urbano, recorded with the production and engineering of Mike Rodríguez and José Bordas, recognized producers who have worked with well-known musicians and groups of the Dominican Republic. The single was sent to national radio stations in 2003. It became a quick hit, reaching the top of music charts and receiving good reviews by recognized members of the musical scene.

In the first semester of 2003 Calor Urbano began a process of organization and restructuring. Towards the end of the same year the band released the second promotional single Vertigo and in mid-2004 they took over listings with their third single To Soul, placing Calor Urbano among the top bands of the Dominican Republic by releasing three consecutive singles in one year, all three of which became very popular. The same year, they were nominated as best pop/rock band of the year in the Premios del Pueblo awards.

In 2005 Calor Urbano signed their first record deal with Azares Entertainment, a Dominican record company, and released their first official album, Transmission Groove, in the summer of 2006. The band, which is currently formed by Vicente Garcia as lead vocalist, Adolfo Guerrero as M.C, Joel Berrido on the bass guitar and Carlos Chapuseaux playing lead guitars, as well as many other musicians who accompany them on live performances, tries to mix soul, funk and hip-hop as well as Latin pop influences, creating a unique musical style.

A Contraluz

Bocatabú nace en junio del 2007 cuando el compositor y vocalista Giorgio Siladi conoce al baterista Miguel Abreu y al pianista Oscar Patxot con quienes establece una fuerte amistad exponiéndoles varias ideas musicales. El deseo en común era materializar un proyecto cargado de una variedad de estilos y sonoridades independizadas a las limitantes de una tendencia genérica en específico. Es entonces cuando en la búsqueda de este mismo fin se reúnen a ensayar por primera vez en un pequeño cuarto de estudio junto a la violinista y percusionista cubana Claudia Ponjuan acompañada del guitarrista Eduardo Fernández, quienes terminan de conformar la célula base de la banda, completándose entonces un mes después, la totalidad del proyecto, con la llegada del bajista Francisco Caamaño. Después de arduos meses de trabajo y un montaje de repertorio, sumándose la experiencia individual y gran talento de cada uno de sus miembros, la agrupación ha ido evolucionando en su búsqueda de diversos estilos llenos de una mezcla de sencillez y complejidad para expresar el mundo de los sentidos desde lo concreto hasta lo más abstracto. Bocatabú es la palabra imaginaria que significa el abandono o la pérdida del miedo para exteriorizar el lenguaje de los sentimientos, la verdad y el amor. Es desconectar todo filtro de la sociedad que impida una expresión real y sincera de lo que sentimos como seres humanos. Ya con el proyecto en movimiento los chicos deciden a dar a conocer al público su música, y en el 2008 se les presenta la oportunidad de lanzar su primer sencillo “Tempestad” el cual comenzó a sonar de manera insistente en las diferentes estaciones de música rock del país. A “Tempestad” le siguió el sencillo “Bang Bang” que llego a cementar la banda como una de las favoritas entre los jóvenes dominicanos, logrando colocarse en el puesto número uno de las solicitudes de los oyentes de varias estaciones locales y continuaron colocando éxitos cuando en el 2009 lanzaron su tercer sencillo “Sinfonías Del Silencio” que siguió muy de cerca los pasos de su antecesor y de igual manera alcanzo hasta los primeros lugares de los conteos locales. La agrupación reafirmó su éxito con múltiples presentaciones durante todo el año en los principales bares y discotecas del país, cada una de estas a casa llena. Una característica que destaca a esta banda son sus presentaciones en vivo, cargadas de energía y mucho rock, en donde cada uno de sus integrantes refleja su virtuosidad y vanguardismo en escena. El Primer disco contiene 12 temas que han sido, grabados y masterizados por Ariel Sánchez, músico y productor dominicano que ha trabajado con excelentes proyectos de la música rock local y quien junto Giorgio Siladi se ha encargado de cuidar la integridad musical de la agrupación.

Toque Profundo, sometimes referred to as Toque, or TP, is a rock group from the Dominican Republic, the most successful of the local Dominican bands to date in the late 80s and 90s. Most of the songs were related to their native country, and some songs, like "El Jevito" and "Mi País", involved social criticism and issues within Dominican culture.

It all started in 1989 when Toque Profundo participated in the popular event "Las Olimpiadas del Rock" (English: Rock Olympics). The original lineup was: Tony Almont (vocals), Leo Susana (guitars), Osvaldo Peña (bass), Lorenzo Zayas-Bazan (keyboards) and Maximo Gomez (drums). They were the best out of 15 participating bands in the event, edging out favorites "Arcangel" by a very small margin in a legendary duel. The band slowly gained experience and acceptance from the small Dominican rock listeners in Santo Domingo.

In 1992 they released the 1st independent album named "Sueños y Pesadillas Del 3er Mundo" (Dreams and Nightmares of The 3rd World). This was the first CD ever at that time to be released independently by their own financial means.

The CD immediately became a classic and best seller in Dominican rock history. Songs like "El Bolero Del Biónico", "Amigo", and "Mandela" were hits on local Dominican radio stations shortly after the album’s release.

That same year they were nominated as "Best Rock Group" in the Cassandra Awards, a similar Dominican version of the Grammy Awards. They also were involved in the international event "Rock Sobre Las Piedras" which took place at Altos de Chavón.

Towards 1993 the young group was chosen by Dominicans to represent them in the international event "Festival De Benidorm" in Spain with the song "Dios Salve Al Viajero"(God Save The Traveler). In 1996 they released their 2nd independent album named "Moneda" (Spanish for ‘coins’, also refers to money). Bigger success resulted from this second album. Songs Like "Llorar", the long-awaited "Dios Salve Al Viajero" and "Ramona"(a playful take on Eric Clapton’s classic unplugged rendition of “Layla”), all became top #1 hits on radio. This album is considered a classic within Dominican rock culture and, at the same time, sparked the “local rock bands” evolution.

In 1999 they released The 3rd Album "Cría Cuervos" (sort of like “Breed Crows”), which became their most successful album of their career at that date. Tracks like "Botas Negras", "Liberate", and "Noche Sin Luna" also became top #1 singles. "Noche Sin Luna" later became the longest-enduring song to remain in the top #1 list on Dominican radio. "Cría Cuervos", like the two preceding albums, was an independent album showing the musical growth of the band and their ever-growing fan base in their native country and in Latin America.

Further recordings led up to the release of their 4th album, titled "Magia", in 2002. International critical acclaim has often reputed it to be their best composed, best prepared album. This album was different from its predecessors in the fact that it expanded the musical aspect and explored the band’s maturity and potential to compose and record music. Influences from other cultures were included in this recording, which gave it the best rating among the four albums of their career. This album throws in dashes of punk, afro, alternative, and guitar-based fusions, completely breaking all barriers established on previously released albums. The singles "El Viaje" and "Angel Ciego" also manage to climb the top position on radio stations in the country for several weeks.

Current TimesIn mid 2003, rumors of possible disbanding of Toque Profundo were rampant but never became official. Due to the Dominican Republic's critical economic situation TP was forced to cease concerts, and each member found themselves trying to find ways to expand their musical horizons. Around this time some members formed several project bands, and guitarist Clemente Portillo left the country to the United States to promote TP's work in New York City These efforts included a showcase in Sirius Satellite Radio, an interview in Music Choice, and several concerts in upper Manhattan.

After that mini-tour, the band ceased to be the powerhouse rock band it once was, never releasing a new track and only playing their old material. Band members started their personal projects and only play together to sell the nostalgics of better times in Dominican rock history. The band is supposedly on a long hiatus, although it's not officially clear as to whether or not the band is declared defunct.

In December 2009, Toque Profundo celebrated their 20th year anniversary in Hard Rock Cafe Santo Domingo and a few weeks leter released a new single named "El Experimento" which quickly climbed up the charts of Dominican rock stations. El Experimento marked their first release of material after the last album Magia. Concerts were held in Santo Domingo and also in New York City.
