About Me |

SHOTGUN RADIO is a band whose manifestation grew from the seeds of their influences. Beat-driven electronic artists coupled with the stable of hip-hop pioneers are to blame. Based in Hollywood, California, Shotgun Radio’s high-octane sound and stage shows have graced such establishments as The Viper Room, Avalon Hollywood, Vanguard Hollywood, The Gig, The Derby, The Mint and several others. Be it from the thumping kick drums and cracking snares or by way of the patrons’ overzealous consumption of liquid happiness, the result is a hangover minus the headache. Made up of members Marcel Saxlund (lyrics & vocals) and Greco Rossetti (keyboards & programming), Shotgun Radio sheds unwanted bravado in the vein of ego-less substance and establishes escapism through music. In a time where a band must molest its sound in order to fight for its place in a specific genre, Shotgun Radio puts their hands where we can see them. Whether this approach is by design or oblivion, it works nonetheless. With the current all-too-hackneyed marketing attempts at spawning categorical hybrids, their sound is an innate blend of all things musical, rooted in beats. Simply, yet dryly spoken by an unknown “Turn of the Century” philosopher, “Why put yourself in a box…before you’re dead?” Editor’s note: Like white-trash parents, Shotgun Radio makes no excuses, explanations nor apologies for their offspring. Recorded entirely at Shotgun Radio’s Room107 Studios outfit on Hollywood Blvd., their debut album “The Deserted Circus”, was inspired by remnants left from contortionists, giants and dwarves in the hall of mirrors (metaphors for all of our many masks). This album is sure to leave behind the smoking shells of “Hysteria” and “Drill Cage”, the haunting anthems of “Black Water” and “The Pit” and the grooves of “Hustle Someone” and “Take You Home.” You can find “The Deserted Circus” and their remix album “Wrecked Remixes & Rarities” on iTunes and other worldwide digital distribution outlets. They are currently putting the finishing touches on their follow-up album, due out in early 2008. Since January 2006, their music video for “Hysteria” has mimicked the Earth in the amount of rotations it has tallied while airing in over 1,500 nationwide retail “in-store” networks and leading nightclub venues. In the span of one month alone, it aired a staggering 200,000 times. Most recently, Shotgun Radio boast having scored music for the forthcoming feature film, Hotel California starring Erik Palladino, Tyson Beckford, Simon Rex and Tatyana Ali. With this accomplishment under their belts, they look forward to designing more soundscapes for feature films. In addition to plotting world domination, Shotgun Radio has also crafted and licensed music for Doritos, Timberland, Converse, Puma and K-Swiss commercials, America’s Next Top Model, the Star Wars: Episode II DVD promotion, the Fat Albert movie promotion, the soundtrack of the Miramax film, My Baby’s Daddy, and countless other projects. Regardless of where their music leads them, Shotgun Radio can only focus on quality control in the process. With the beat being the compass throughout this journey, they travel aimlessly through music’s magnetic confines. Shotgun Radio, a product of this environment, keeps feeding the mass hysteria, the facts in stereo. |
