Alex Meraz and Kiowa Gordon on press tour for The Twilight Saga: New Moon - Miami, FL




So the MySpace pics of Alex Meraz floating are real. They were taken by Native American photographer Anthony 'Thosh' Collins. I just had to clear that up really quick. Cause he's mid air!!! You can also see Alex in the 2006 and 2008 '21st Century Skins Calendar' produced by Shaunya Manus of Viewfinder Productions Inc. And who could forget about this world famous shot taken by Mihio Manus.

Alex speaks on his culture and where he is from. Kiowa represents his tribe by wearing a shirt from The Hualapai Tribal Nation.

There is so, so, so much talk in this video about Native Americans, mainstream media, being contemporary.

A Conversation with Shane Yellowbird




Nov 12, 09 at 6/9 Est
Call-in Number: (646) 595-3155


Shane Yellowbird returns to the forefront of the Canadian country music scene with his highly anticipated sophomore album, It's About Time. Two full years in the making, and a true labour of love, It's About Time promises an exciting new collection of tunes, both true to the caliber of music that Yellowbird fans have come to appreciate, and yet explorative of a new side of this talented artist not yet seen.

"It's About Time is more about me than my first record, if that makes sense," says Yellowbird. "Going into the studio, I had a real vision of what I wanted this album to be. I've made sure to record songs that really spoke to me. Each lyric and melody says something to me or about me. I'll leave that up to the listener to decide which is which!"

The new album release on November 17th, 2009 - on On Ramp Records / EMI Music Canada - will coincide with Yellowbird's first appearance on the hallowed stage of the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. The performance will also mark Yellowbird’s entrance to the US market, with plans to release his music and videos in America in 2010.

New Moon cast at Nordstrom - Aventura, FL



Alex Meraz "Paul" and Kiowa Gordon "Embry from The Twilight Saga: New Moon hosted an exclusive VIP event at Nordstrom in Aventura Mall, Miami, FL

Giddy girls and woman sworming everywhere. Note to self: maintain composure. It was hilarious!

Honestly, I did the best I could to get a quote from one of the 75 guests who attended. But… all I got were these moaning gibberish sounds. Like ughhhh, errr, etcetcetc. You get the point. And I think when a fan has hit that kind of emotional state, its best to just let them be.

All I can say is “All the glory goes to god, All compliments go to him”.

And… More of these two tomorrow from me to you.
