Martone - "Clean" on iTunes
 
 
 
Dave Martone comes CLEAN

Guests: Joe Satriani, Greg Howe, Billy Sheehan, Daniel Adair (Nickelback) Featured in “Guitar One Magazine” Jan 2008 issue as one of the top 4 underground shredders in North America Martone . . . visiting what the future of guitar music would sound like. If you thought that Canadian rock started and ended with Rush, Saga or Triumph, think again. Canadian guitar virtuoso, Dave Martone is a force to be reckoned with. “I wanted the album to be playable by a 3 piece band, while not relying heavily on studio production techniques. I wanted more of a 4 on the floor vibe, with very strong melodies, and a more organic texture of sounds.” All songs have Daniel Adair of Nickelback laying down the drum duties. "Nail Grinder" features a blistering solo from none other than Joe Satriani. "Hard Wired" features an amazing solo from Greg Howe. For "Dinky Pinky", Martone wanted a bass player that would kick hard. Billy Sheehan was, of course, the logical choice and he lays down an incredible performance. "Moron Face" i s a heavy riff tune with Jennifer Batten guest soloing.

Points North Live on May 9th

..


On Thursday May 9, please come join us for a free night of music at 19 Broadway in Fairfax, where we preview songs we've been working on, the only time they will be played before we start tracking!
On May 17, 2013 we are excited to announce that we will be entering the studio to begin work on our Magna Carta Records follow up to "Road Less Traveled".

It's just us, we'll be playing all night - and when we're through playing new songs, we'll play "Road Less Traveled" songs too, including deeper cuts, along with some Rush covers from our "Fred Barchetta" set.

We really hope to see everyone there, and we'd love for you to tell us what you think of the new material!
