Kevin Cahoon, of Broadway’s 'The Wedding Singer', Releases New CD
New York, NY (ContentDesk) April 17, 2006 -- Kevin Cahoon And Ghetto Cowboy deliver explosive rock infused with glitter on their debut record, DOLL.
The album features 8 original gritty rock songs written and performed by Cahoon backed by guitar, drums, bass and keys.
The band is one of the most buzzed about new arrivals on New Yorks downtown music scene; the pop, power and glam theatricality of their live events are captured for the first time on CD with this new studio recording.The album ranges from the poppy tongue-in-cheek Fashionista and Bitch to the angry outcast anthem, Doll.
Proclaiming I am the freak/I am the f*g/I am the weirdo one you couldnt stand/I am the geek/I am the nerd/you beat me up when I was ten, this title track is Revenge of the Nerds taken to the next level.
Other songs include Star Ballad , which is reminiscent of The Smashing Pumpkins, lighters-in-the-air Mirrorball Prophecy , and an inventive punk rendition of the classic Could I Have This Dance first made famous by Anne Murray.
The album is being released through Sh-K-Boom Records, a Razor & Tie/Sony BMG distributed label, known to bridge the gap between pop music and theater.
With a sound unique to what one might expect from a Broadway actor, Kevin Cahoon is quickly building a fan base in the indie music world, due to his live shows and abundance of press.
Kevin Cahoon and his band Ghetto Cowboy have been heralded by New York Times, Time Out New York, and The Advocate, among others.
Kevins pistol power performances and raw theatrics on the rock n roll stage stem from his successful career on Broadway.
Kevin has built up a large and loyal following due to the edgy/alternative roles he has played, including The Childcatcher in 'Chitty Chitty Bang Bang', Ed the Hyena in 'The Lion King' and Hedwig in 'Hedwig and the Angry Inch'.
In fact, it was during Kevin's tour with Hedwig that he was inspired to realize his long-held ambition to front his own band. In the original musical based on the New Line Cinema hit film starring Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore, Kevin plays the scene-stealing Boy George-obsessed bandmate of Robbie Hart, New Jerseys favorite wedding singer and the shows title character.

Another Dracula, Another Flop
This week Warner Brothers joined the Walt Disney company in attempting to transform Broadway from a venue with a whisper of hope for social relevance into one that presents works that are the intellectual equivalent of Mickey Mouse caper.
If Disney could do it with, for example, The Lion King, why couldn't Warner Brothers find a property to achieve Broadway fame and fortune with? Unfortunately, their imaginations never soared higher than redoing the Dracula legend, based on a contemporary author's odd novelistic take on it.
In order to hew to Disney's proven path to moronic megabucks, Warner hired the same songwriting team Disney did for The Lion King, Elton John and his comparatively invisible lyricist Bernie Taupin.
Fortunately, the show was a no-go from the start. The word of mouth was devastating and the reviews turned out to make the word of mouth sound brilliant.
The question is, why would anybody, given the entire world...

How to Protect Yourself Against the Hidden Cost of Shipping to Trade Shows
Trade Shows are lots of work, but they can generate lots of new business for their participants. In addition to the expense of staffing your booth, food, lodging, display, travel, etc. you need to consider how will you transport your equipment to and from the event. This sounds like a simple task, but few freight carriers deliver to trade shows. Why don't many carriers ship to trade shows? Anytime you have lots of businesses shipping to the same destination on the same day there will be problems.
Every hour the driver must wait in line to unload their delivery will cost the shipper extra money and delay the remaining deliveries in the trailer. This "waiting charge" is in addition to the freight quote given by the freight forwarder or carrier. As a general rule shippers should only be charged waiting fees 30% - 40% of the time. Some of the larger conventions and trade shows incur wait times of four to six hours. The hourly charge, depending on the location, could be $30.00 - $100.00...
