Rock Music Menu: Show of the week: Get the Led ut
Delaware County Daily Times PA
For sections its the headline list –>Saturday January 24 2009 4:22 AM EST By Michael Christopher Times Music ColumnistLed Zeppelin may not be hitting the road anytime soon what with Robert Plant being a sourpuss about the whole reunion thing and Jimmy Page apparently giving up the ghost of finding another singer to take over on mic duties but that doesn’t mean you can find a suitable live replacement to hear “Black Dog” and “Heartbreaker. ”And when it comes to the tribute bands dotting the music scene they don’t come much better – or bigger than Get The Led ut who brings the show to the Electric Factory tonight. Based out of Philadelphia Get The Led ut is currently playing up and down the East Coast taking the moniker “The American Led Zeppelin” very seriously. But you won’t see GTL pull out any crazy visual stunts or gimmickry in its performance. Instead the band simply delivers the goods; the classic rock and roll from one of the most popular groups in the history of music. From the bombastic and epic to the folksy and mystical Get The Led ut have captured the essence of the recorded music of Led Zeppelin and brought it to the big concert stage.

Wayan Balawan: A life saved by music
Jakarta Post Indonesia
I have now learned that happiness comes from doing positive projects in our community – to do something for our culture. " Balawan plays live at his brother’s Warung pera in Ubud every week pulling notes from his guitar like unwinding silk from a cocoon – smooth and magical. The audience’s applause fails to rouse him from his immersion in his music. Balawan who started playing guitar at the age of eight and still practices "at least three hours every day" had one of his proudest moments when playing alongside legendary Australian guitarist Tommy Emmanuel whom Balawan describes as a genius. Balawan breathes music whether it is gamelan guitar or drums. This master of guitar has an awesome range – he slides from jazz to Latin American music to reggae and then blues. And he plays with such lightning speed almost blinding the audience with his jaw-dropping brilliance.
