MYSELF - Protest In Disguise CD
Couture Music Wear / Sumthing Distribution

Alt Rock and indie hip hop artist, MYSELF was spotted by EMG President Kevin Connal when the New Orleans native rocker and his band played at New York's famous BB King's Blues Club in Times Square on July 16, 2007. The pair met after the live set, and it was only a matter of hours before the two were on the phone making deals. MYSELF, a riveting live entertainer, thoughtful songwriter, and a perfectionist in the recording studio, was said by Connal to be "a consummate professional who knows few musical boundaries and is fearless enough to take his style/sound in a vast array of directions. Ten minutes into his set I wanted him on our roster." MYSELF defies genres while re-defining originality. His musical stylings have been described as COUTURE (tailor made to fit every one). His sonic moshpit encompasses raw-like-sushi punk, organic hip hop, gumbo funk, hot buttered soul & future classic alternative rock! MYSELF's music speaks for itself, communicating a language that stretches from the muddy Mississippi river to the historical temples of Japan. The rebel rocker has worked with multiple platinum and Grammy winners such as Arrested Development, The Roots, Public Enemy, blues maestro Chris Thomas King, and countless other industry veterans. He has been featured on MTV JAMS, FOX TV, MTV Japan, CW Network, and in magazines such as Billboard, Living Blues, and Whoofin. MYSELF is also appearing in the upcoming documentary "Pocket Change" featuring Academy Award Winner Oliver Stone. In addition, producer and multi-platinum music icon Nile Rodgers, who produced hits for Madonna, Sting and Duran Duran, recently signed MYSELF to Sumthing Distribution.

MYSELF's self-financed, ambitious & groundbreaking debut album Protest In Disguise is being released on his own boutique label and fashion house Couture Music Wear, Inc. The album was recorded at the legendary Chung King Studios (formerly Chunk King House of Metal), which has been the home for many Def Jam classic recordings (Rick Rubin, Run DMC, Beastie Boys, Public Enemy, LL Cool J). MYSELF can now be added to this A-list of album projects. Protest In Disguise contains fourteen turbo supercharged high octane tracks. The lead single "God is so Funky" is a soulful melodic/hypnotic catchy song that truly rocks the dancefloor! "Where We Going?" is a blues entrenched worldbeat jam that incorporates the essentials of a modern day Bob Dylan/Bob Marley cry for change. "Baby..You Drive Me Crazy" picks up where the party let's off; it's a fast & furious punk hip hop adrenaline anthem that delves into the hardships of relationships. Protest in Disguise showcases musical dexterity and lyrical complexity, evoking MYSELF's strength as a tremendous songwriter, producer and lyricist. The songs on Protest In Disguise burn slowly and ignite intensely, encouraging the listener to "Keep The Fire Burnin'."

Grand Opening of Club WH- Candlelight vigil in honor of Baird Jones

Candlelight vigil in honor of late NYC Night Life Guru and Webster Hall legend Baird Jones

The Grand Opening of Club WH and Circus and multi million dollar renovation of former Webster Hall!
Americas First Nightclub!!!

New York City
Nightlife entrepreneur and owner John JE Englebert (Quo, Myst, Retox, Prime, Prepost and Suzie Wong venues) will join over 3,000 people on 4 floors as they open the doors of New York Citys newest nightclub and multimillion dollar renovation of Club WH, formerly Webster Hall on this Saturday April 4th 2009. The club will be called Circus on Saturdays.

A candlelight vigil will be organized by Englebert and other nightclub and industry professionals this Saturday night in honor of the late Baird Jones who served as the curator for Webster Hall for decades and was a legend in clubs in the Big Apple since Studio 54. He was a major player in the press and media in New York City for years. A life-size photo of Jones will be placed in the DJ booth for generations.

Built in 1886, Webster Hall was the first nightclub in America. For over 120 years, this majestic landmark building has housed New York Citys wildest events, as party-goers have stamped out their inhibitions and expressed their greatest desires within its hallowed halls.

And now they are at it again. In 2009, Webster Hall completed a multi-million dollar renovation. While restoring and rejuvenating the classical theater architecture, they have added posh amenities and cutting edge technology to, once again, create an air of ageless celebration and adventure.

As the last remaining venue of New York Citys legendary Big Club Era of the 80s and 90s, the new Webster Hall is destined to introduce a whole new generation of party revelers to nightlife that is beyond their imagination! Englebert AKA JE will be on hosting duties as he has worked numerous clubs in the 90s including the infamous Tunnel and Twilo nightclubs and found very fit to show his skills and remember Mr Jones in a special way.

CIRCUS will bring back the Shows. It will bring back the feeling. It will bring back the magic. It will inspire you to remember the first time you set foot in a club and fell in love with the night..

CIRCUS Saturdays
The greatest party on earth.

CIRCUS will bring back the shows.
It will bring back the feeling.
It will bring back the magic.
It will inspire you to remember the first time you set foot in a club...and fell in love with the night.

Leave your inhibitions at home and expect the unexpected. We'll do the rest.

Four massive floors of adventure.
Flying trapeze
Go go girls
Snake charmers
Tattoos
Mind blowing Aerial Acts
Dazzling Fire Displays
Fortune tellers
Magicians
Popcorn
Cotton Candy
And so much more.......

Curtains open at 10PM.
