Hello Major Who fans, it’s been a while. Some CRAZY stuff going on lately. First off, we’re proud to announce that we’ll be managing Shayna Zaid. HOOORAY! We’re super excited about the opportunities that are unfolding for Shayna as we work to develop her songs and her presence here and in Asia. Thanks Jay Deasel for your undying and dedicated support to the project. And speaking of Shayna, last week she was in the studio finishing up some vocals when she got a call from her friend Daniel Bedingfield. He was in the neighborhood and wondered whether he could stop in on the session. Um, Sure! Along comes Daniel and while he’s here he lays down some most delicious backgrounds on Shayna’s song ‘It’s You’. Wow, thank you Daniel. Truly awesome.
Another one of our artists, Paula Valstein, played a show recently with Dr. John in Philly. Dr. John took a fancy to Paula (hmm, what a surprise 
. So he invites her to accompany him to a celebration concert of Charlie Parker’s music with a staggering A-List lineup last night. She got to hang with Dr. John, Elvis Costello, Diana Krall and Al Schmitt after the concert. Ridiculous. She came to the studio afterwards all aglow. Nice going Paula. Listen for Paula Valstein’s new single ‘Bring It On’, out soon on Major Who – just in time for her CMJ shows. It sounds amazing and we’re not even finished with it yet. Paula will be playing an official CMJ show at The Cutting Room on October 17th at 10PM.
And how about that Atomictom?! Featured on the front page of Amie Street last week, Luke and the gang are gearing up for a CMJ showcase at Rockwood on October 20th at 11PM and a weekly residency at Arlene’s Grocery starting October 24th. Please come out and check out the shows.
Wes Hutchinson and Casey Shea just returned from London with Sundown. They’ll be playing a show at The Canal Room this Wednesday, Oct. 3rd, at 9PM.
Stay tuned for more Major Who news soon. BOO ya.

Hot, Crazy August
Wow! What a month it’s been. Who says everything shuts down in August!?
Firstly, there has been tremendous buzz and excitement generated from the Atomictom track on AMC. Thousands have checked in to hear the music and join the fanclub. Thanks to everyone who came out to the show at Arlene’s on July 25th it was a great event. We managed to fill the place on a Wednesday in mid July. Great work!! Atomictom will release a new single soon, so look out.
Last week we were in the studio with Marcelo Zarvos and Lawrence Manchester recording music for a new Barry Levinson film starring Robert De Niro. It looks like a really cool film.
Yesterday we played host to the Blue Room again – this time with Antigone Rising. “M” once again graced us with his presence, this time to record and interview the girls from Antigone Rising as they were in town in the midst of a heavy touring schedule. And by the way, we now know that M did NOT take our gaffers tape. Nor would he ever have done so. We recorded four totally awesome songs. The session was a total blast, so thanks girls! Look for it at on the AT&T Blue Room site.
Shayna Zaid has four new songs close to completion and we can’t wait for you to hear them. Her return from Malaysia has seen us in the studio recording new vocals on tracks which will blow you away.
Randy Woolf has a new film score project that Major Who is producing. It’s a documentary about Tibet directed by Mary Harron and John Walsh. John and Mary went to Tibet to capture live video and sound which is now being woven into the score. It’s an incredible piece!
