...DIRTY CHILDREN have released their new CD, “Shut off the World.” Says the band’s Nadia Fay: “The idea of calling the album Shut Off The World is that we want people to come with us, listen to the album, rock out, blast it in their cars, take the emotional journey and shut off everything outside. It's like an invitation. The title song is totally autobiographical about the mundane urban experience, sitting in traffic and losing touch with the things that really matter. Like creativity, which is stifled sometimes in the chaos of life and having to survive. It's about wasting a lot of time when there's so much I want to do and learn. Typical artist angst. I like the fact that some of our fans say my lyrics are universal and they can relate to them." For more information, check out www.DirtyChildrenMusic.com...

The music world has lost a great guitarist and an
even greater person with the death of our dear friend Bryan Ottoson.
Bryan was a vital member of our group and a key songwriter on
The Feeding. It is our intention to honor his memory by re-joining the Mudvayne,
one of Bryan's favorite bands, on the current tour. Words cannot convey the
depth of our sadness, but we want our fans to be able to hear the music Bryan
loved so much. He'd be pissed if we didn't continue on. We will return on the
Lubbock, TX date on April 29th.
Chad Ottoson, Bryan's brother, states that the Ottoson family
firmly stands behind AHC's decision to carry on in Bryan's name.
