Joe Satriani’s new album, Engines of Creation, laces stunning sonic fretwork with musical riddles and melodic assaults. It also marks a startling new phase for one of rock’s most celebrated guitar players and teachers to the stars.
The Dust Brothers, “What took us four days to do on the PC now took us two minutes on the Mac."
Cher’s single, album and show are all done with the help of the Mac?
iMacRocker alert: Doc Lawrence and The Blues Fix, although their site has a few glitches and bugs they assure us are being worked on, this is a good example as to how a band or artist can promote themselves throughout the world with iMac and the WWW.

So you wanna be on our MacRockers' List . . .

An executive decision at MacRocks.com has been made to include everyone on this list -- not just the famous. This will add to our problems of keeping maintenance up on the list, but we all agree anyone who uses their Mac to rock deserves the same placement within it's roles.

So if your a garage band with a PowerMac, a solo artist with a PowerBook, David Bowie or any individual or group that writes, produces or generally rocks out with your Mac -- you're in, baby!

All we require is that you send a press/promo kit for your act or project that includes a brief bio, images/logos and a CD. The quality of the CD does not have to be that of the retail variety, demos are accepted. You must have something to market, such as your group or act and or CD. If you have a web site, please be sure to send us the URL, so we can get to know you and pass it on to others.

Montrose Rocks MacWards!

A recent press announcement from Liquid Audio lead us to the virtual door of rock guitar pioneer Ronnie Montrose. No dinosaur is Montrose -- he not only continues to pump out mean guitar licks into creative space, but also manages to design and maintain his web presence at www.ronnieland.com.

Montrose and his group, Gamma, are currently working on a new recording project in the Bay area; sharing production time between his own home studio and Troy Luccetta's TML Studios. We all remember Luccetta as drummer for the band Tesla, and Troy has just recently purchased a shiney new G4 to suppliment and augment the 24 track analog machine and rack of ADATs at TML. (Ronnie used the 24 track analog and his own Sony PCM 800s for the project.)

MacRocks will be bringing you more info on Montrose, Luccetta and TML Studios as well as a review of the latest work from Gamma in the near future.
