ACT:LIVE Returning In May
werd: james niche
Where have you been?
This is something that has been frequenting the subject box in a lot of recent emails to ACT:LIVE. Well, I have the answers.
We have been working diligently this past year to expose Rochester’s art and music community, throw some killer events and even touch on FCC airwaves and now it’s time to expand.
We were never sure where this whole thing was going, like any business, but ACT:LIVE is paving it’s own road into your homes and computers very soon.
The success of the website and it’s following has had me developing and thinking for a long time on how to improve this machine to better promote all you area artists and musicians.
I have now joined forces with Josh Currier, Nicholas Baish, DJ Tim Tones and Mike Hanlon to form what is now the official ACT:LIVE team.
You may have read a little while ago about the radio team, but this is a bit different.
Josh Currier and I are putting together a brand new, fully operational ACT:LIVE website for the city to be up by May, the ACT:LIVE one year anniversary.
It will be filled with local artist files, local venue files, events calendars, video interviews, reviews, video from the streets, live footage from concerts, local shopping and much more.
This will become THE place to find out about anything and everything independent.
Now, the website is great, but we have icing for this cake. The ACT:LIVE Television show.
This show will air on Sundays at 9:30pm on Time Warner Cable 15.
This show will be a direct reflection of everything we have been doing the past year except now we can take all of our ideas to video, for the city.
We plan to make the community a big part of the show in many ways. You can look forward to musician interviews, artist interviews, Q & As, political and social news coverage, entertaining clips straight from your neighborhood and much, much more.
So, as you can see we have been extremely busy.
I urge you to stay tuned and pay attention out on the streets; this is going to hit Rochester very soon. May, people, May.
I thank you all so much for your interest and devotion to the site and what we do. Without you this wouldn’t be possible.

The American Dream Team
Panty Raidin'
Wednesday Feb. 18th @ Dub Land
werd: james niche
So, the flier offended a few people. Awesome.
You can thank my cousin, Scott Terry, for the killer idea and Bailey Burritt for the sweet design. Ladies, please don't get it twisted, it's a celebration of panties. And, if you arrive at the door with a pair, you get a dollar off as well as the respect of young Scott Terry will be hosting the evening to also celebrate his birth.
"
It's a celebration
of panties.
"
--------------------------
The American Dream Team will be headlining their first ever appearance in Rochester as the Electro duo formed by local DJ legend, Code-D and his fearless visual assailant, Dan Savage. Dan constructed the visual performance for the Kanye West "Glow in the Dark" Tour and has worked for other companies including Comedy Central.
The American Dream Team is doing the dance and production world a huge favor by bringing something fresh sonically and vivid, visually.
Code-D produced the "Money, Bitches, Cars, Clothes & Weed" anthem heard round the globe this past year.
They are an intelligent answer to the dry over saturated world of shitty electro DJs.
For those of you who like the t-shirts on their website, the " Money, Bitches, Cars, Clothes & Weed" t-shirt specifically, you will be able to find them this week at Thread Clothing on South Ave.
Wednesday will be opened up by performances by Dub Land's residents The Surgeon General Trio. (Reece Q, Miguel Urbina, Jon Woodring)
Following them will be DJs Tim Tones, Audiowright & Nickel Bag Of Funk.
Check out some of the videos from The American Dream Team.
See you Wednesday at Dub Land Underground.
Peace.

What's New
Coming Up From ACT:LIVE
werd: games
So, by this time in the month, I would normally have about six stories or interviews with local artists or just something interesting and new, but things have been very busy in the ACT:LIVE world.
I'm here to update you.
So, since the dawn of this ACT:LIVE idea, there has been no other real goal besides exposing Rochester artists in the best light possible, promoting those artists under one solid hub in Rochester where others coming from out of town or looking to find out what's going on can go to online.
It has quickly become a go-to source for many people, or so our site tracker says.
I had debated pushing this outlet into a print version, which may still happen on a smaller scale, but it's far too costly for my working man's wallet and the internet success has been good and we want to expand on that.
We will premiering a brand new version of ACT:LIVE Rochester by the beginning of March of 2009.
This is the news drop
Over the past year, I have been blessed with finding some of the most creative and hard-working talent from every aspect of the independent media business here in Rochester.
We have all assembled to bring you the latest addition to the Rochester airwaves, The Influence on 90.5 FM WBER.
Let me introduce The Influence Team
Games - Executive Producer/ACT:LIVE Founder 
Alex Ng - Executive Producer/Host of ElektrobankAlex is also host of Elektrobank, Saturdays on WBER at 9pm.
Mike Hanlon - Video Production/CreativeMike Hanlon will be providing video coverage of The Influence as well as photo and video for the ACT:LIVE website. Mike is a great guy and has made himself an integral part of what we do. He currently owns Hanlon Photographic.
Nicholas G. Baish - Graphics/CreativeNicholas G. Baish (The NGB) has made every ACT:LIVE event a visually exciting event with his astonishing animations and ability to adapt to almost any artist on stage. He will be helping Mike Hanlon out with the editing of the video and graphics. Cheers Nicholas!
DJ Tim Tones - Audio Production/House DJHip-Hop DJ Tim Tones will be house DJ for The Influence radio show and will also be putting together the audio bits and drops with me for the show. Tim has been performing all over Rochester for years now and has made himself a party must have. Big up Tim!
Miguel Urbina - Engineer/Technical ProducerSoundman for the Dub Land Underground and great friend to the scene, Miguel will be engineering our radio show and providing recording submissions from live events to be incorporated into the radio show and the website.
Josh Currier - Web/Marketing/CreativeNew comer to our team, is Josh Currier. Josh works for a local ad agency, but has taken the time to get involved with what we are doing and help us push this market out to the rest of the world. He is also responsible for the construction of our website. This dude rocks.
The website will a sleek looking addition to the music and arts community for sure.
We will feature music, local artists files, video streaming, calendar listings, interviews, reviews, blog submissions from locals (that can be you!), links, venue information and much more.
We can't wait. All of the fine individuals you read about above will be working hard to provide you the most entertaining content in Rochester.
This radio show will be airing February 21st at 9:30pm.
The show can best be explained as a mad scientist blend of the alternative and experimental hip-hop, culture and music.
The show will also be a place to shine on local things going on and a few local artists. Now, this will not be a local show. There are many local shows out there and this is not one of them.
We will be having local guests and and recording locals for the show bank and for the site, but the focus is alternative hip-hop and the culture; every aspect.
We will also feature interviews with national hip-hop artists and international artists as well. More often by phone but we will also be taping some live interviews.
The radio show will be video taped as well and spliced in with local live footage, fun street edits and more. So, if you miss it on air, you can go right online and catch up, plus some.
All brought to, once again, by the hardworking ACT:LIVE team, 90.5 FM WBER, The Elektrobank, Hell On Earth, Ekonomix Clothing, Krud Co. and Dub land Underground.
We can't wait to premiere the new site and this show.
I hope you all tune in or watch online and get involved in your own personal ways. It's going to be a huge new avenue for Rochester art and music.
Peace kids...
