When things were new - Spanking Charlene (New York, USA)
"The collaboration between Charlene McPherson and Mo Goldner began with an East Village bar flirtation that turned into a drunken slutty song fest. After that long wild night, a band was born. Lakeside Lounge owner Eric "Roscoe" Ambel heard that wildness in their first demo and booked them at his legendary East Village venue". Their album Dismissed with a kiss was released recently.

Note from Kimo and new song on PMN.
Lullaby for Alia - Kimo Watanabe (Utah, USA)
I play music that's simple & soulful. Simple, because I'll be honest, I can't play all that complicated stuff & Soulful, because I play music that I feel. This music isn't really 'radio ready' but that's the beauty of the PMN. We're here because we want an alternative, so consider me an alternative.

Goodnight - Peter Hepworth (Suffolk, UK)
Peter says "I never chose to be a songwriter.......Growing up in a quiet Suffolk village, as a child I tried lots of different activities from tennis to climbing, gliding to cadets, but nothing grabbed me until one rainy Saturday afternoon I picked up my mates guitar. It felt right. I learned some chords. The more I learned about music, the more it became a part of me." I saw Peter at a singers' night in Ipswich recently. I want to hear more from him.
