Glitz Glam and Glitter . Peter Breeze Review

If you remember the late 80s and early 90's ; most likely you would have heard of the Club Kids ; notably Michael Alig,Ritchie Rich , James St James and my fave Walt Paper. They made Halloween everyday . Pulsing beats and pulsating light shows . They did the rounds of talk shows from Geraldo to Phil Donahue .

Fast forward to Vancouver 2009 . Peter Breeze . Think of Lady Gaga with male genitalia. Cocky at times-in your face lyrics. Beats that will stick in your head. A persona ; his own .

Born and raised in Calgary Alberta : Peter took to the stage where and whenever people would watch him sing ,act or dance . Moving to Los Angeles for awhile ;Peter literally jumped onto the covers of magazines and blogs ;hopping in front of any camera pointed his way .

"Taxi" is in your face divaesque at its best. " I don't give a F@#$ about it. I don't give f@#$ , I'm scandalous , showing up at the clubs looking glamorous ;falling out of taxis, looking all fancy-everybody pointing cameras at me. When I come through the door .... " Peter Breeze is definitely going to blow down the doors .

“Fu@# Talk(buy me a drink) “resonates attitude with catchy lyrics that will stick with you . Leave the cash and credit cards at home guys. This song may just do the trick .

“When I’m In Hollywood” sings about hitting the big time ;which I am sure is not far from reality for Peter Breeze.

“Dallas” is about the uncontrollable urges of being around someone ; fighting the urge yet falling in love with the person . Resistance sometimes is very well futile. You will be saying “Oh My God ! I think I’m in love”

“Optimistic” is a slower song yet as equally as awesome .

“Gossip” rounds out this collection of tunes .

Peter Breeze is certainly no gentle breeze . He will come at you like a gale force wind . A twister of talent .
Keep an eye out on Peter Breeze for a tour date in your area in 2010 . Pop lyrics with a glitz ;glam and a whole lot of glitter .

Check him out at www.peterbreeze.com and be sure to pick up his CD when it drops on February 14th at www.itunes.com or at one of his shows .

Uganda’s “Kill The Gays” Bill Hits Parliament Floor

Uganda’s “Kill The Gays” Bill Hits Parliament Floor

"MASQUERADE" Matthew David."This is Me; Here I am ! "

“This is me ; here I am screaming my name; “Matthew David screams in the title song from his EP “Masquerade” Matthew is a 27 year old singer songwriter born in rural Saskatchewan ; now residing in Vancouver. A genuine “son of a preacher man” As a young teenage Matthew came to realize that he was gay. He had been told that this was not acceptable and downright wrong. He felt that his friends and family and the church would forsake him if they were to ever find out. Matthew ; like so many other gay youth was forced into hiding who he really was which led to thoughts of suicide and depression.

At 18, Matthew moved to the UK to attend a performing arts college in London.

After returning to Canada, Matthew established himself as an up-and-coming investment banker, but he knew his true passion in life was singing. At age 26, he quit his job to pursue his singing career.

Matthew is a powerhouse of pure talent . You can hear every emotion as he sings throughout the C.D . He crosses all genres of music; from pop to rock to blues instilled gospel .

Levi Kreis ; another amazing singer-songwriter in his own right has co-written two of the songs and sings along side Matthew on “Revolution” ; an up tempo number singing of a personal metamorphosis . Levi also wrote “Look How I’ve Grown” and gifted it to Matthew because in Levi’s words ; “ It deserved a voice like his (Matt’s) . The song is a perfect fit and definitely sounds like it was meant for Matthew to sing .

“Turns to Gold” is a love song as good as they come. It tugged at my heartstrings the minute I listened. A song that shows how two people in love can bring out the best in each other "take your hand... let me feel your skin to mine... may your lips come to mine”

“Help me Hate You” is a song of love and the ability of not wanting to or unable to let it go.

Matthew does an amazing version of Madonna’s “Frozen” If I hadn’t knows it was a Madonna song ; I would truly believe its was another song meant for Matthew. It is a seemingly flawless cover ; that could very well be an original for him .

“Look How I’ve Grown” is my personal favourite on the cd. It speaks to me on a personal level; of self doubt and real feelings get lost behind painted smiles. It brings tears to my eyes .This song truly shows the vocal range of Matthew at its peak of perfection.

“Look how I’ve grown; bigger than all my fears ;stronger than all my tears”

Matthew has definitely grown . It won’t long before his fan base and al those fans being touched in a positive uplifting way by his voice and his words and his message that we too can all sing “This is me ; here I am”

A well rounded mix of pop to rock . “Masquerade” has something for every listener.

Chicken Crossing the Road

I have never seen a chicken really cross the road
Though; so many times I've heard this story told

Waiting for the cars to pass; waiting in awe and wonder
The chicken did not think to look; and therein lie his blunder

The truck came speeding round the bend
And that my friends is where it ends .

For that chicken; he did not cross the road
Though time and time I've heard ot told

I write this now ; some call it rambling
But that chickens eggs; I am scrambling

Now ! If only a pig would meet that fate
I would have some bacon on my plate.

MORAL OF THE STORY IS LOOK BOTH WAYS BEFORE CROSSING THE ROAD . PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT FOR DEC 1st 2009

You Lean upon the Wooden Door

You Lean upon the Wooden Door


You mesmerize me with that cute grin
Your eyes so green ;they draw me in

Light shines on your light brown hair
I am here -but you are there

You lean upon the wooden door
While I alone ; wait, on the dance floor

The music plays ; a familiar tune
A song of love and roses in June

I am waiting on the dance floor-waiting on a chance
Hoping we get to do our final dance

You mesmerized me with that cute grin
Your eyes so green ; they draw me in

You are no longer leaning on that wooden door
The dance floor is gone . It is no more

Yet ; the music play ; a familiar tune
I dance alone in my living room

I hold my pillow close and tight
Recalling all those wonderful nights

A song of love and Roses in June
It by far; my favourite tune
