On a particularly nasty night at the Cleveland Music Festival in 2003, two Midwestern bands (Bridge and Outspoken) performed on the Agora stage to a rowdy rock ‘n’ roll crowd. After the show, Geo Teubl (Bridge) and Frank Green (Outspoken) drunkenly fought in the parking lot, solidifying a friendship in only the way excessive amounts of Southern Comfort and rock star antics can. Two years later, Outspoken broke up and Outspoken guitarist Kevin McCreery joined platinum-selling band Tantric for three years, touring with such acts as 3 Doors Down, Godsmack and Default. McCreery then contacted Teubl after hearing Bridge had parted ways. The two began writing immediately and after their first jam session with Donnie Highland (drums, Outspoken) and Green (bass guitar), the band Ugly was formed. Front man Teubl says, “We had an immediate chemistry, mutual admiration for each other’s sound, and, most importantly, we all wanted to put the art back in party with raw rock!”
“I made the transition from doing beats to producing and writing songs because I’d started to feel I couldn’t rely on anyone else; I was very protective of my music, and I guess I just hadn’t found the right person to help me take it to the next level,” reveals Jupiter Rising founder Spencer Nezey. “Then I started working with Jessie. She is a genuine artist, with killer instincts. I can count on her to bring her A game to whatever we’re doing and to be straight with me about what she thinks. Bottom line: I know I can trust Jessie. Without her, there would be no Electropop.” Spencer pays Jessie Payo, the L.A. outfit’s other half, perhaps the ultimate collaborator’s compliment when he says, “Working with Jessie is easy.” And “Electropop,” the title cut and first single from Jupiter Rising’s debut album (on Chime Entertainment) is a prime example of the pair’s carefree attitude. continue reading...
