FOX FORCE 005
A FORCE TO BEHOLD
FOR 2009
Our cover gal for Valentine’s Day is JJ Wilder! JJ
who is from our area here migrated to Los Angeles, CA. The move has pushed her forward with
her life long dream to create, produce and establish her own all female top-40 band which she is
one of the singers! The Band called FOX FORCE
005! JJ added “We are five very international, very
hardworking, very creative, very cute chicks with
tons of MO-to-DA-JO. We have big plans and lots
of surprises in store--You will be hearing a lot
more from us before You know it.”
The search for the right gals out in LA wasn’t an
easy one and there
were many grueling
auditions! They
recently just played
outside NAMM
and are looking to
expand worldwide
says her Publicist/
agent Lynn Ramage’
Now remember,
this little bombshell
has been modeling
Beauty & glamour
and specializing in
commercial print
& fitness. She has
shot for magazine
submission (maxim,
oxygen, pasmag etc.) and graced our covers in
the past. I asked JJ about her plans; “I’ve been on
some posters and calendars in a couple of magazines and catalogs and have toured the country as
a spokes model for a motor sports company. I’ve
sung the national anthem at a dozen different race
tracks, but I really came out here to pursue a pop
music career and it took awhile, but that’s exactly
what’s happening--2009 is the year of the Fox!”

TV Show taping, I was
recently able to spend a
little time with my good
friends from the band
Formula 259. I’m happy
to say that I have watched
Formula 259 grow from
a little cover band playing
the local pubs to one of
the area’s hottest party bands in
just a couple months! Formula
259 has been touring the club
and bar circuit up and down the
East Coast hard core since mid
November and is ready to roll
out with a fresh batch of Spring
shows guaranteed to make you
leave the bar wanting more!
Formula 259’s founders, drummer Tony C (aka Meat) and
guitarist Matthew Shultz have
built fine oiled machine consisting of long time friend and
bassist Don Falso and recently
updated the band’s sound with
lead guitarist Pete Dicanto of
the original band Morning Side
and added soulful female vocalist Liz Taylor. The band’s musical
style can “vary depending on
the mood and the show” says
Bust A Move old school track
and watch the crowd go wild”
says Matt.
“We got sick and tired of going
to local bars and clubs, hearing
the same old tired bands, playing the same old tired songs.
After 1 too many drunken complaints, our friends edged us on
to finally stop bitching about
the bad cover bands on stage
and form a “party band” of our
own. A party band that will
play what you want to hear on
a Friday night, when you want
drink and have fun! So that just
what we did…”
I was in attendance as Formula
259 brought in the New Year by
hosting and performing at one
of the largest New Years Eve
cluded the crowd dancing
to more of today’s pop hits
such as: Pink’s “So What”,
Kevin Rudolph’s “Let
it Rock”, and “Kissed A
Girl”. We love to play Katy
Perry’s “Kissed A Girl”, said
Formula 259’s bassist Don
Falso with a big smile, the
band will invite a bunch
of girls on stage, play the song
and magic then seems to follow
every time…
When I asked Formula 259
what can we expect in the
near future, the response was
simply “A Bigger Party”. “We
have been slated and one of
the area’s top party bands and
I don’t want the reputation
to get tarnished, so we will
continue to re-invent the band,
update the song list and make
people happy while they get
drunk”.

Since their start in 2007,
Stems &
Seeds has
worked for
many of the
local area
bars and
clubs, using
the term
POWER
Acoustic
to describe
their unique
sound. One
bar that has
definitely
taken notice
of this band
is Fluke’s
Bar and
Grill, located
at 7401 State Road in NE
Philly. Stems & Seeds will
now be LIVE at Fluke’s
every First Friday of Every
Month, starting on February
6, 2009 from 6 pm – 10 pm.
Stems & Seeds is definitely
something different and a
band you’ll want to see.
Comprised of 5 very talented musicians, this band takes
the time to constantly add
new music to their set lists
Page 5
offers music that is
popular, fun
and danceable, but
at a volume where
people can still talk and
enjoy their
friends without having to
scream over
the music.
What they’ve
created has
been very
well-received
by the many
people that
continue to go
out and see
the band in
action.
First Fridays at
Fluke’s is the
perfect place
to enjoy what
to keep their shows fresh, Stems & Seeds offers and
First Fridays are surely going
but they are very careful
not to play the same songs to be everyone’s favorite
many other bands seem to once-a-month meeting place
play. Their unique approach with friends!

Ain’t No Party, Like a Roadhouse Party!
By Helene
That’s right! Stewart,
owner of the Roadhouse Inn knows what
he is talking about! At
the Roadhouse Inn,
located at 220 New Falls
Road, in Newportville,
close proximity to the
Bensalem & Levittown
areas, there is never a
cover charge and it is
open 365 days a year,
yes…including Christmas Day!
Talking about a
P*A*R*T*Y*, the Roadhouse is having their

The Roadhouse Inn is
an old historic building
and has had its tavern
license for over 200
years. Stewart Kautran
has owned the building
since 1988. Originally
called the Bridgepoint
Inn, after some major
renovations, it reopened
as the Roadhouse Inn in
2002. Helen, the main Bartender, told me
that she put the first dollar in the register,
and has been there from day one. Ann, who
now works as the Manager was a bartender
there 40 years when it was the original
tavern. When coming to the Roadhouse
you will find a close knit and very friendly,
staff, which also includes Stewart’s son. The
Roadhouse has been a stable in their community, helping their local Fire Department.
Recently they held an auction and bake sale
that brought in over $2,200! This event is
held twice a year, so if you have items you
want to donate or you want to bake some
goodies for a good cause-this is the place
to do just that!
The Roadhouse Inn is a fun and friendly
place to be and has an all aged-mixed
crowd. What sets them apart from some
of the other places is their entertainment
venue. Every Saturday night, you will find all
types of live music, from Southern Rock to
Hard Rock, and everything in between. They
have fun things going on throughout the
week too! Besides the great drink specials,
they also have a fantastic menu!

Any night on the town should also include a great place to eat. And the Roadhouse has that too-serving daily lunch and
dinner specials---is Jimmy’s forte! Come
and try his famous homemade Crab Soup,
French Onion Soup, Chili, and the “Roady”
Fries, served w/cheese, bacon and jalapenos
with his secret seasoning. The Roadhouse
not only serves up the typical tavern food
but goes all out with full course dinners,
like the Flat Iron Steak with Bourbon Reduction Sauce and I was told that the Ribs

Anticipation has been building for a new release and for the first time in 4 years, Railroad
Earth found themselves back in the studio recording all new material. It’s definitely a homegrown project, much like the band itself. Railroad Earth’s new studio release, Amen Corner,
was written and recorded at singer Todd Sheaffer’s empty, 300 year-old house in New Jersey’s
rural countryside. What happened inside the building was the experience of a lifetime for the
band’s members, resulting in an early creative pinnacle of a gifted young band, and an album
that is an instant Americana classic. Amen Corner is a collection of crisp and crafted roots,
bluegrass, and acoustic sides that resonates in
all the right places. The tunes breathe both on
and between the notes. They hit you immediately, but then linger like a good buzz. Amen
Corner hit stores June 10, 2008 on SCI Fidelity
Records.

LOCAL MUSIC CELEBRITIES PLAY FUNDRAISER
FOR ST. JUDE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL
By Rob Nagy
On March 6, 2009 local music celebrities will converge on “The Note” in
West Chester, PA to raise money for
St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital
in Memphis, Tennessee. The brain child
of former A’s guitarist Rick DiFonzo,
who enlisted the talents of many of his
music friends to help the cause, was
looking for a way to give back to a
worthwhile cause . “I want to do something more than I can do on my own”,
says DiFonzo. “I have a soft spot in my
heart for kids and I thought people
would embrace the idea of helping out.
I took the idea to Live Nation and they
loved it. I asked a lot of my musician
friends to participate and many of them
jumped on board.” So far DiFonzo has
gotten commitments from Eric Bazilian,
Rob Hyman, John Lilley and Fran Smith,
Jr. of the Hooters, Smash Palace, Earl
Slick and Kasim Sulton and, of course,
DiFonzo and his band DiFonzo Pop
Experiment. “Everyone is volunteering
their services including Live Nation”,
says DiFonzo. “Children’s hospitals everywhere are worthy causes. They are
a very high profile organization helping kids from all over the world. “I felt
people would feel good about support-
ing this cause” says DiFonzo. “Every
cent they receive goes to the people
they are helping. It is our goal to send a
nice fat check to St. Judes.

Horoscopes
By Psychic Perry B.
Aries (March 21-April 19) You
are headed for a new direction. It is
good to know the path you are on is
the right one for you. You may be handling
things differently and that is a good thing too. Follow your instincts.
They will take you where you want to go. Schedule a little fun in your
mix.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) The time has come to be more aware
of what is going on around you. Take the blinders off and take a good
look around. You will be surprised by the results. You may be causing your own problems and blaming others for them. Look for the
brighter side, and you will be happier.
Gemini (May 21-June 20) The need for more support is essential
to your heading in a new direction. Except the help and you will see
things will start to go right. Allow your personality to expose the true
person you are, and jump in with both feet. In time you will see the
results for what you are looking to do.
Cancer (June 21-July 22) Being compassionate with someone
who needs you is very admirable, but you must take some time for
yourself. The responsibility does not have to be all yours. Ask for help
and it will be granted to you. Your kindness to others is a good thing
as long as it is not becoming all there is to your life.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) Staying focused is important for you right
now. You should be doing what needs to be done not just what you
want to do. Fun is fun, but work must
be done. Bring in those who are close to you for a little help. It will
go much faster.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) Your flirtatious attitude is giving people
the wrong idea. You are much more than you are allowing people to
see. What you are looking for is a healthy relationship and you are
finding disrespect. Be yourself, and it will work better for you. Command respect, and you will find it.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) The world might seem to be crashing
in on you, and too much is happening at one time. Relax a little, and
it all will get done. Put your energies in the right places, and see how
quickly things come together. Leave some time for a loved one. They
need you too.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Try to curb you needs to speak out in
anger to those around you. You are not the only one who knows how
sharp you can be. The people around you do not understand what
your needs are, and only you can make those needs understood. Try
to do it lovingly.
Sagittarius (Nov.22-Dec. 21) Even though taking a back seat is
difficult for you; the time has come to do so. You are tired, and having
to be on all the time is causing you to become more fatigued. Others may not be able to do the job as well as you, but perhaps good
enough, is good enough for now.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan 19) If you are finding rebellion among
those around you it could be the tone in your voice. It never hurts
to be diplomatic. You will find people more receptive to you, and they
will help you with what you need to be done. Locking horns accomplishes nothing.
Aquarius (Jan.20-Feb 18) Money matters are taking top priority
at this time. Look deeper into what needs to be done to increase
your income. Now that the holiday bills are all in you have to work
on a budget to bring the debt down. Perhaps a part time job if you
have the time for one would be a good idea.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) You are in a strange influence at the
present time, so you have to expect the unexpected. This is a time

Bullwinkle... Moose On The Loose
Original Bands, Musicians & Local Scene
East of Anything
I’m always prowling around for good original
local bands, either at the clubs, or on MySpace.
I recently came across a band from the small
town of Sewell NJ - “East Of Anything”.
The band fronted by Gene Micofsky is a real
talent to say the least...
East of Anything is a stimulating onslaught of
contemporary rock music from Gene Micofsky,
Brian Carola, and Darren Zimmer. The project
began as a solo project for Gene Micofsky; a
vehicle for new original rock music he began
writing in early 2008. As ideas took more
shapely form, a 3 song EP was produced, and
the band performed live in the Philadelphia,
New York, and New Jersey area.
In the summer of 2008 The Gene Micofsky
band performed in the Shure Microphones &
Street Chic Fashions Original Sessions National
Band Search 2008/2009 in New York City. The
band received radio play on the Sunday night
program WSTW Hometown Heroes, and was
the featured artist on Pongid internet radio.
Gene began completing more material for
a debut record and working more closely with
the supporting band of Brian Carola (bass) and
Dave Dabek (drums). Despite being the composer and bandleader, the project started to
feel more like a band collaboration than a solo
project. So the name East of Anything was adopted as the new moniker for the project. Due
to Dave’s relocation to Boston, Darren Zimmer recently joined camp as the new drummer.
Sewell NJ, is only 30 minutes from Philly so you
can catch the band performing locally
The band’s full-length debut is set for release
February 17th 2009. Check them out at www.
myspace.com/eastofanything
In my column I will attempt to bring as many
of these artists to your attention as possible,
and we hope that you will support them in
kind.You can also visit the Bullwinkle Entertainment Inc. site for additional bands, musicians,
shows, updates etc... Original bands, and musicians can get in touch with me for upcoming
show consideration, as well as being featured
on the BEI site, and in my OOT column.

CKY COMPLETING WORK
ON CARVER CITY SET FOR
RELEASE ON MAY 19
CKY has completed mixing their 4th record,
entitled Carver City, set for release on Roadrunner Records on May 19. As with all their
previous albums, Carver City was produced
by the band’s guitarist Chad I Ginsburg. The
album was recorded at Studio CIG in the
band’s home state of Pennsylvania and mixed
by Ginsburg and Phil Nicolo at Studio 4 in
Conshohocken, PA. Some of the eleven tracks
set to appear include: “Hellions On Parade,”
“The Boardwalk Body,” “…And She Never
Returned,” “Karmaworks” and “Woe Is Me.”
Singer Deron Miller comments, “Literally all
the things that have been keeping CKY strong
since our last album - the undying hardcore
support of our fans, our unorthodox musical
approach and a brand new partnership with
Roadrunner Records - have restored an en-
Jess, Deron, Matt, & CIG (Chad I Ginsburg)
thusiasm within our band that has never been
this extreme. Sobriety, hard work, patching up
inner turmoil and a love for what we do has
undoubtedly made this the most collaborative
and focused CKY effort to date.”
Ginsburg concurs: “The
album is more inventive
and more layered than our
past releases, with the most
melodies, textures and riffs
of any CKY album. It is by
far the most inspired album
we have ever made.”
According to Miller,
Carver City carries with it
a “dark summer vacation
vibe,” nostalgic of the band
members’ childhood trips
to the East Coast beaches.
“The fabled town of Carver
City has a history of bad
luck and misfortune, all the
while giving the impression
that it’s a pleasant family getaway. Much like CKY’s town
of Hellview, Carver City’s
events are depicted in the
songs, with story lines coming from real life events.”
CKY are planning to tour
in support of their Roadrunner debut in the spring.

WMGK-FM to Offer New iPhone Technology
Greater Media Station to offer iPhone One Touch Access
Boston, MA (January 20,
2009): Greater Media, Inc.
(GMI) announced today that
WMGK-FM will now provide
exciting new technology
which enables listeners to
access and hear the station’s
stream on their iPhone with
the touch of a button.
In addition to WMGK, the
application, developed by
Jacobs Media, is also available to listeners of Greater
Media’s WMMR-FM, as well
as Radio 92.9 FM WBOS in
Boston, MA; WRIF FM in Detroit, MI; 95.9 FM WRAT in
Point Pleasant/Belmar, NJ and
94.7 WCSX in Detroit, MI.
iPhone One Touch Access
is unique because
listeners now
have the ability
to directly access
a station’s audio
stream instead of
having to access a
directory. In addition, the station’s
logo becomes an
icon within easy
reach right on
their iPhone.
The application
also allows the
station to provide
its HD2 channel
under its single
icon/logo.
“The iPhone
is rapidly changing the nature of
mobile communications, and we
strongly believe
that our stations
have to be available
on every platform
our listeners are
using. This application is the only one
designed from the
listener’s point of
view,” said Tom
Bender, Greater
Media Senior Vice President and General
Manager of Greater Media Interactive.
“It’s incredibly easy to download and
even easier to use; you simply take your
favorite station with you.”
“Everyone knows that the key for radio
is to get its streams on mobile devices,
and the iPhone is the most popular, buzzworthy mobile device,” said Jacobs Media
General Manager Paul Jacobs. “With this
application, stations will not only be able
to stream on the iPhone, but listeners
will be able to access the stream with a
touch of the station’s icon on the device,
instead of scrolling through lists of stations.”
Greater Media was the first radio company in the United States to purchase the
One Touch application.

Blues Thursday
was awarded
Best Of Philly by
Philadelphia=2
0Magazine as
Best Urban
Blues Club. We
were the first
to play Blues in
Pa. Our shows
are top notch
professionally
done productions and we
do everything
ourselves. We’re
a non profit
organization for
the preservation
of the Blues. The music gives you
a certain feeling and people don’t
realize that it’s the root for Rock
n Roll even Rap music. A lot of musicians have brought it to the forefront
such as Stevie Ray Vaughan, Walter
Trout, Jimi Hendrix. They extended
it to other genres and age groups. A
lot of the acts we bring in are newer
types of Blues acts and whoever is
still out there surviving. Some national acts that played here were Little
Sammy Davis who played with Muddy
Waters, Eddie Shaw who played with
Howling Wolf, The Nighthawks with
Greg Allman, Albert Collins, Muddy
Waters and John Lee Hooker. Some
of the local acts were The Buicks,
Mikey Jr, Blues Deluxe and Flaming
Harry. We’ve also showcased newer
local acts like Jason Ricci, Gina Sicilia
and now Brooke Shive & The 45’s
here as well. Gina’s based out of
Newtown, Pa and has really made it
nationally. We hooked her up with an
agency and now she’s touring all over
the world. The regional acts usually
come from New York, Delaware and
Jersey. With the amount of shows
we do we try to keep it fresh so it’s
not the same bands all the time or
the same songs. We usually do three
50 minute sets starting at 9:30PM to
1:30AM. It’s hard to book every band
that comes in her e because I only
want the best for our crowds and
they’re very receptive to great performers. I go through all the promo
packages that are sent in. I can tell
by the way it’s put together and how
they’re producing themselves what
kind of act they’ll be when they play
here. We do a Halloween show that’s
going on it’s 32nd year. Our annual
picnic usually held in July draws about
1,200 people and features 7 national
and regional acts. I came here around
1979 and then I became a stage
manager, production manager and
worked my way up to where I am
today. I’ve had a full time DJ business
for over 20 years which allows me to
do this on the side. We’re beginning
to bring in younger crowds and that’s
why I’m booking younger performers
like Brooke Shive here tonight. A lot
of the older performers are dying
off and we need some new talent to
Page 23
keep the Blues alive and well.” Concluded Bob.
After my conversation with Bob ended
I sat and watched Brooke perform with
her band for the first time at McStews.
Judging by the ovations she received
from the packed crowd the Blues will be
alive and well for a long time thanks to
amazing singers like her.
She took complete control of the room
and lead us all on a journey that we
didn’t want to come back from. I never
thought the Blues could feel or sound
this good. Her voice became the eyes
into her soul and we loved everythi ng
we saw that night. Brooke was at peace
on that stage and we were just glad that
she allowed us to be a part of it.
Come check out this great place for
yourself on Thursdays and bring a friend
or two. On April 19th it’s their annual
Spring Foot Stomper featuring national
recording artist Guitar Shorty and on
April 23rd come join Eclecto Groove
recording artist Jason Ricci.

EYE ON: Mike Mc Cullough
His Passion For The Music is Loud And Clear With Each Song!
By Donny Smith
Mike McCullough’s been
playing around town. In fact
he’s been playing for years.
Some of the spots he’s played
are Gilanes in Ardmore,
Chickie’s and Pete’s on the
Boulevard, the Ashburner in
Northeast Philly as well as
both Curran’s on State Road
and in Bucks County. Also the
Springmill Country Club in
Ivyland, SmokeEaters, Coach’s
and Rauchut’s in the Great
Northeast just to name a few.
Mike performs solo but can do
the duo thing or even strike up
a very good band if needed. His
love and passion for music comes
through loud and clear in his performances. He hosts an open mic
at Rauchut’s on Sunday evenings
between 7 and 11 and has been
for years. Rauchut’s is a neighborhood bar that amazingly attracts
some of the finest musicians in
the area. He alternates weeks
with Vince Schneider, although
he can be seen
there on Vince’s
nights as well.
Mike does cover tunes and he
does them very
well. He’ll hit
you with some
tunes you might
not expect, like
Bob Dylan’s “
Idiot Wind” or
the Stone’s “
Memory Motel.” He does
classic rock
acoustic style
and is available
for bookings.
( mumbrew@
aol.com) If
you’re into
acoustic guitar
and harmonica
why not stop
by Rauchut’s on
a Sunday night
and check out
the scene.You’ll
be glad you did.

Three guys Tony, Fezzik, and Jeff all go in

with Bowie at the

his interview and the
interviewer Bowie says,
“What’s the first thing
you see when you look at me?” Jeff says, “That’s
not too hard, you’ve got no ears man.”Bowie
says, “That’s it, get out!! You’ll never be seen
around here again!!” The second man Fezzik
takes his turn and is asked the same question.
Fezzik replies, “Uuuuh ... you’ve got no ears?”
Bowie throws Fezzik out, cursing and yelling
that he’ll never get a job with his company. As
Fezzik is leaving, he warns Tony guy, “Listen man,
whatever you do, don’t say that he hasn’t got
any ears. He’s soooo touchy with the ear thing.”
“Okay thanks,” said Tony on his way into the
office. Once inside Bowie asks him, “Name the
first thing you notice when you look at me.”
Tony answers, “That’s easy ....You wear contacts.” Bowie was flabbergasted, “How on earth
did you know that?” Tony answered, “What?
Seriously? ...You can’t wear glasses if you’ve got
no ears!”

.... I wanna try a Numbaa 69.’ More silence, this
time from him. Eventually, in a confused and
