Winner announced September 10th.  About Epiphone: Recognized worldwide as a leader in musical instrument design, quality and innovation since 1873, the Epiphone Company produces every major type of fretted instrument including electric and acoustic guitars, mandolins and banjos as well as amplifiers. One of Gibson's most formidable competitors through the first half of the 20th century, Epiphone was acquired by Gibson Guitar in 1957. Headquartered in Nashville, Tennessee, Epiphone is part of the Gibson family of brands. For more information on Epiphone go to www.epiphone.com   RECENT REVIEWS OF GRAVE - the new single by MADEMOISELLE K "The media release for this single is headlined 'France's Coolest Rock Band'. A gutsy call by the band's publicist. Like most music journalists in this country, I feel that headlines like this are just begging me to write something acerbic, to prick their pomposity and cut them thoroughly down to size. Sadly, ten seconds into the single I realise they're right. They are France's coolest rock band. journalism fail." Drum Perth 9 July, Single Review by Jaymes Brown "Don't laugh, this is serious. As in Grave means 'serious' in, er, foreign. But seriously folks (I'll stop now...), Mme K is a French rock band pretty obviously taking cues from The Pretenders circa 1982. Not a bad thing, with the nation applauding the return of sprayed-on leather pants and the skinny tie as shirt. With production by a former Green Day cohort this has an international outlook, with the eponymous Katerine Gierak's snarling Gallic purr having the desired effect even before you hear the translation. Tu descends, indeed." Drum Media (Syd) July 7, Singles by Ross Clelland   FOR MORE INFORMATION: madoisellekoz.blogspot.com
