Frogg Marlowe and Jaycatt Nico booked!

Frogg Marlowe and Jaycatt Nico have officially been booked for August the 22nd at 4PM. They will be rockin' it out with all original music plus great covers of well known music.

Growing up just down the street from each other in Eugene, Oregon, a small northwestern town known for its arts

subculture, Frogg and Jaycatt (now roommates) only started playing music together after joining Second Life. Whilst Frogg was

hosting an open mic for the local music community, Jaycatt was working for a local utility company. Jaycatt discovered

SecondLife in June of 2005, and shortly afterwards Frogg joined him there and started playing

shows. Jaycatt began providing piano music breaks during Frogg's shows, but eventually these breaks

grew into longer sets, and that's when they began to collaborate.

Their regular Friday night performances have been running since July 2005, currently at Jaycatt’s venue ‘AmphibiCatt

Gardens’. The shows are extremely popular, and as well as having a large loyal fan base they entertain and delight the

live music lovers of Second Life, playing on average 6 live shows a week. Frogg and Jaycatt’s notoriety in SL has not

escaped the attention of the music industry and to date they have been interviewed by, amongst others, Rolling Stone

Magazine and MTV.

Their repertoire consists of mostly original material and a few selected covers. Frogg was a vocal jazz minor at college,

while Jay studied piano for 14 years, and together as singer/songwriters they have produced a comprehensive range of

heartfelt and memorable melodies and poetically lyrical songs. Musical influences range from Mannheim Steamroller, Simon

and Garfunkle, The Beatles, Pink Floyd, and even Frank Zappa.

Damian Cabernell Live!!!!

Damian Cabernell booked for the Grand Opening at 5pm SLT on August the 13th, 2009.

Damian is a songwriter, guitarist and vocalist streaming his music into SL from the center of the USA, Missouri. Damian has been hailed as "one of the best cover artists in Second Life", by Metaverse Music. The review goes on to add, "He doesn't imitate the song just like it's original, he makes it his own." "His original songs are just as good as the covers. If he didn't announce it as an original I would've thought it was a cover song too.."

A typical Damian performance might include Jason Mraz, Green Day, Jack Johnson , Bon Jovi, John Mayer, Rob Thomas, Sick Puppies, LifeHouse, Three Doors Down, Muse and so many others. His wide variety in music style is sure to please everyone.

Damian Carbenell Reviews:

The Cher & Carm Show

... "a performer not to be missed so be sure to get in nice and early."

SL-livemusic.com

... "A Rating! Nice Light Sound, all acoustic, great material. Not just another folk singer."

New World Notes

..."If you - like me - are a little uncertain about SL musicians you've never heard before, then you can rest assured that Damian Carbenell comes highly recommended. I polled the Second Life Plurk community for their favourite musicians and Damian's name came up again and again!"

Musicians of SL. com

... "his warm acoustic style reminds of Jack Johnson."

SL Enquirer

... "Who Is Damian Carbenell?

If you don't know, you better ask somebody!

All I can say is WOW join His Group, follow him around and Book him! From the moment I heard his mellow voice in perfect harmony with his guitar, I melted."

Metaverse Music

.... "Damian has got chops both vocally and on his guitar. He plays these wonderful rock songs that we love so dearly without us ever having to worry about him killing them at all, not at all worried, not even for a second! Awesome!

.....he's got a very solid voice, that's definitely a tenor. So when he sings Jack Johnson and John Meyer, it's just right. His take on "You're body is a wonderland" though isn't a John Meyer's performance, it still has its own charms. He really is charming and comes across the wave as someone I'd like to hang out for an afternoon or an evening with, have a cup of coffee or tea (since I don't really drink coffee) with a group of friends after a day of snowboarding."

Exterior Revealed!

A preliminary work up of the club exterior has been reaveled to us by Sand Castle Studios. Shown here is how the exterior will look without the stained glass windows and assorted extras. Reed Steamroller states, "I went with the darker exterior to contrast and match the Notre Dame theme." The Angels have become extremely energetic and charged to see their dream coming to life in front of their eyes.

Sand Castles in the Sky

Despite not finding someone, the Angels refused to give up. They began to consider their options and even sent out an S.O.S. for a champion to take on their cause. It wasn't looking good for the home team until Mykael was contacted by the lovely Nika Dreamscape, a Brand Strategist for Sand Castle Studios. Although he had missed her message, he went to where she had invited him in search of the answers to their prayers. Alas, she was unavailable at that time, but CCO Reed Steamroller said that he'd be more than happy to meet with him.

While looking over Mr. Steamroller's portfolio it was clear to Mykael that the champion for the Imperfect Angel had been found. Regardless the cost it was set in stone that the Sand Castle Studios would be responsible for building this landmark. While looking through past works, Mykael and Reed were able to set into motion the next phase of the creation of this piece of art.

The Angels gave the brilliant design team the time and space needed to come up with a game plan. Once Saturday arrived, the excitement and anticipation was overwhelming as they anxiously awaited the next piece to their puzzle.

"We would love for you and your team to meet us in one of our meeting rooms so that we can further discuss the sketches and plans for the Imperfect Angel," came the voice of one of the most brilliant Second Life residents. Gianna Borgnine. Quickly, the Angels gathered into the beautiful halls of the Sand Castle Studios and sat down before a rather large and imposing conference table. On the wall next to the table was the communication board that Reed would use to demonstrate his masterpiece.

"This," Reed said as he began, "..is to be the statue that will be within the foyer. The sketch does not do the Angel justice, he will be richly masculine and youthful as we had discussed." Mr. Steamroller used a red pointer to discuss the various parts of his design. "This piece of art will be a reason for patrons to visit all within itself," Reed stated as he finished his information about the Angel Statue.

Next, Reed pushed a button upon the remote sitting in front of his chair and began to describe the outside of the building. He mentioned that the upstairs deck made it impossible to have a steeple but that it did not take anything away from the design. The large stained glass windows and Notre Dame theme would really portray the theme and plans we had for our club.

The discussion continued as Mr. Steamroller began to go over the interior of the club. "To the left," he said, "you will notice the main dance room surrounded partly by the dance stage and personalized DJ booth. In the center of the large room will be the three custom dance tables and spiral staircase that leads to the roof. On the right you will see the lounge area which will include multiple tables, chairs and a wonderful bar."

Reed turned our attention the final slide which demonstrated the roof area. "The roof will be more of a V.I.P area with a large pool and hot tub. Tables and chairs will line the area and make plenty of room for a secondary pool themed party area. Adding the roof as another floor definitely opens up the space and gives you more choices for your guests."

In concluding the meeting, Gianna and Reed began to discuss with the Angels the different options that they had and asked how they felt about what had been given and demonstrated. Mykael brought to the attention a need for a Club logo and the team was more than happy to add that to their plans. "Once the contract is signed we will break ground, the completion date will be August 1st, 2009," Gianna began to inform the Angels as the meeting ended with excitement and buzz in the air.

Here I am, another Imperfect Angel!

Tis Gabbia here, one of the Imperfects! I'm supposed to tell a little about myself. Being on SL since May 29, 2007, I've had time to explore, do, and meet so many people from all over the world. But I found out my number one passion is DANCE! I started out dancing in a little club, that is closed now. My SL sister was manager. Danced on the pole and also with the customers. What an experience that was! Next came a job with a Dance group, called the Papp Daddy Dancers. I had the opportunity of being a lead dancer, which was really fun. I worked with them for over a year, and decided it was time to just get out and experience all of SL. Started my own club, Jazz Dreams, a cool jazz club, but the location was not the greatest so I decided to close it. So, running around SL and playing with the land, which is my number two interest, I did lots of landscaping and furnishing houses. Playing house was fun! But missed my number one passion.. DANCE. Met dear Mykael, and voila, he decided to start his own club with his friends Amore and Prynce and hired me to be the dance manager. This is the best, and this club will rock all over SL. Take my word! Oh yes, here's a few pics of me, just being me!

Birth of the Imperfect Angel

While traveling the lands of Second Life, Mykael Sciavo began to notice that if you had seen one of the hundreds of clubs you had seen them all. This was due to there being a general boring template used for almost every single one of them. Working as a DJ he noticed further that an original concept and experience was needed to brighten and ignite the club fires within the SL universe. Working together with Amore Ferina and Prynze Decosta, the concept for the Imperfect Angel was born.

It was decided that the Imperfect Angel would be completely custom done and the theme centered around the generalized concept of Angels embracing their imperfection, crooked halos and all. The building would need to be classy and elegent but be able to harness the raw power of club life at its finest. For the music, a generalized "Top 40" was decided upon to help keep the crowd and patrons pumped up and dancing. When the term "Top 40" is used, it is meant to signify any type of popular music that was within the Top 40 billboard charts throughout the '90's as well as music of this decade.

The overall theme was chosen to resemble a cathedral and the color scheme white, grey and black. They began to discuss who would do the creation of the building. At this time, it was still uncertain for the trio. But, the plans had been put into motion and they were determined to make their dream a reality.

"Angels don't run away from life, they fly towards it. "
