Broadside (band)

Broadside is a four piece Pop Punk band from Richmond, Virginia. They are signed to Victory Records, and were listed as one of the 100 Artists You Need To Know in 2015 by Alternative Press.

History

Formed in 2010, Broadside have shared the stage with bands such as The Ataris, A Loss for Words, Such Gold, Title Fight, Forever Came Calling, and Polar Bear Club. In June 2011 the band self-released their 5 song EP "Far From Home," which was then re-recorded in 2012 with 5 additional tracks to become their first full length album by the same name and put out on independent Japanese record label Ice Grill$ Records.

In January 2013 the band announced they had recruited Ollie Baxxter as their new lead vocalist. In October they released a music video for the new single "Storyteller", followed by a video for their original holiday-themed song "Wish List" in December.

Broadside spent the first half of 2014 touring and playing shows with various artists including Of Fortune and Fame, Old Again, Battleghost. In October 2014 Broadside contributed a demo version of their song "Avery" in partnership with Hope For The Day and PropertyOfZack to help raise awareness for suicide prevention. Later that month they announced via their social media that they had begun recording a new full length album.

Broadside (TV series)

Broadside is an American sitcom that aired on ABC during the 1964-1965 TV season. The series, produced by McHale's Navy creator Edward Montagne, starred Kathleen Nolan, formerly of The Real McCoys (her character, Lieutenant Morgan, had first appeared on McHale's Navy the previous season).

Synopsis

The series centered on the women of the Navy (WAVES) circa World War II, who found themselves transferred to an island in the South Pacific to run the motor pool in an otherwise all-male environment. Their nemesis was Commander Adrian, who liked things just fine the way they were and felt that having women around would just louse everything up. Fortunately for the WAVES, the other men liked them just fine and often helped the girls foil Adrian's latest scheme to get rid of them.

The series starred Kathleen Nolan, Edward Andrews, Dick Sargent, Sheila James (in her last regular television series role), Lois Roberts, Joan Staley, George Furth, Arnold Stang and Jimmy Boyd (whose character was erroneously assigned to the unit based on his having a normally-female first name, Marion). The series ran for just a single season. Though ratings weren't bad, Universal felt the tropical exteriors being used by it and McHale's Navy—and nothing else—were taking up too much space on the backlot, so Broadside was cancelled and McHale was relocated to Italy (and the studio's more frequently-used European facades).

Broadside (printing)

A broadside is a large sheet of paper printed on one side only. Historically, broadsides were posters, announcing events or proclamations, or simply advertisements. Today, broadside printing is done by many smaller printers and publishers as a fine art variant, with poems often being available as broadsides, intended to be framed and hung on the wall.

The historical type of broadsides were ephemera, i.e., temporary documents created for a specific purpose and intended to be thrown away. They were one of the most common forms of printed material between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, particularly in Britain, Ireland and North America. They were often advertisements, but could also be used for news information or proclamations. It was also a very common format for printing the text of ballads (see Broadside (music)).

One classic example of a broadside used for proclamations is the Dunlap broadside, which was the first publication of the United States Declaration of Independence, printed on the night of July 4, 1776 by John Dunlap of Philadelphia in an estimated 200 copies. An example of a broadside used for news information is the first published account of George Washington crossing the Delaware, printed on December 30, 1776 by John Dunlap.

+/- (band)

+/-, or Plus/Minus, is an American indietronic band formed in 2001. The band makes use of both electronic and traditional instruments, and has sought to use electronics to recreate traditional indie rock song forms and instrumental structures. The group has released two albums on each of the American indie labels Teenbeat Records and Absolutely Kosher, and their track "All I do" was prominently featured in the soundtrack for the major film Wicker Park. The group has developed a devoted following in Japan and Taiwan, and has toured there frequently. Although many artists append bonus tracks onto the end of Japanese album releases to discourage purchasers from buying cheaper US import versions, the overseas versions of +/- albums are usually quite different from the US versions - tracklists can be rearranged, artwork with noticeable changes is used, and tracks from the US version can be replaced as well as augmented by bonus tracks.

!!!

!!! is a dance-punk band that formed in Sacramento, California, in 1996 by lead singer Nic Offer. Its name is most commonly pronounced "Chk Chk Chk" ([/tʃk.tʃk.tʃk/]). Members of !!! came from other local bands such as The Yah Mos, Black Liquorice and Popesmashers. They are currently based in New York City, Sacramento, and Portland, Oregon. The band's sixth full-length album, As If, was released in October 2015.

Background and history

!!! is an American band formed in the summer of 1995 by the merger of part of the group Black Liquorice and Popesmashers. After a successful joint tour, these two teams decided to mix the disco-funk with more aggressive sounds and integrate the hardcore singer Nic Offer from the The Yah Mos. The band's name was inspired by the subtitles of the movie The Gods Must Be Crazy, in which the clicking sounds of the Bushmens' Khoisan language were represented as "!". However, as the bandmembers themselves say, !!! is pronounced by repeating thrice any monosyllabic sound. "Chk Chk Chk" is the most common pronunciation, which the URL of their official website and the title of their Myspace page suggest is the preferred pronunciation.
