STG Presents Jason Derulo at The Moore Theatre in Seattle on Wednesday, October 13, 2010.

A truly multi-talented artist knows no creative boundaries. This is the case with Jason Derulo the Miami-bred 20 year old singer, dancer, songwriter and actor whose smash debut single "Whatcha Say" heralds the arrival of a major new talent.

As the flagship artist in the new joint venture deal between Warner Bros. and super-producer J.R. Rotem's label Beluga Heights, Derulo has set his sights high. "I don't want to stay in a box," Derulo says. "I want all the love!"

The love shines on Derulo's "Whatcha Say", the single vaulting over the 700,000 download mark at iTunes within weeks of its release. "Whatcha Say" is finger-snapping, futuristic pop R&B, with listeners responding to Derulo's lyrical proclamation "You and me are meant to last forever!"

Does It Offend You, Yeah?

Add Comment

STG Presents Does It Offend You, Yeah? & Kele (of Bloc Party at Chop Suey in Seattle on Thursday, September 16, 2010.

ABOUT Does It Offend You, Yeah? As the album title has it, 'you have no idea what you're getting yourself into'. What does that mean? Does it confuse you, yeah? It shouldn't. It's fairly straightforward. The debut album by Reading-based four-piece Does It Offend You, Yeah? is a big, swaggering mash-up of Eighties-lovin', future-livin' techn-rock with fuck-off pop-bells on.

In the early days – 2006 – no one knew what the two upstart producers who founded DIOYY? looked like. Were they really two middle-aged blokes pulling rave-gurner faces in the studio?

THE APPLES IN STEREO

STG Presents The Apples in stereo at The Crocodile in Seattle on Tuesday, October 26, 2010.

In the charmed world of THE APPLES IN STEREO's ROBERT SCHNEIDER, music and mathematics are the principal creative outlets. Although these subjects are inextricably linked, New Magnetic Wonder represents the first time Schneider's imagination has seamlessly integrated them on an Apples album. New Magnetic Wonder marks the Apples' first release in five years, as well as their fifth official full-length album. The album also marks the first release on ELIJAH WOOD's newly formed label Simian Records (co-released by Yep Roc Records and co- distributed by Elephant 6/Redeye Distribution). Apples lead singer Robert Schneider met Wood at SXSW music festival in Austin, TX in 2003. As fate would have it, the Apples, who recently departed from their long-time label spinART, were looking for a new label at exactly the same time Wood was launching Simian Records.

Idlewild

STG Presents Idlewild at The Crocodile in Seattle on Saturday, November 20, 2010.

When Brit-pop was still in full-swing, Scottish rockers Idlewild were dropping out of art school and ingesting Fugazi, Superchunk "...and all those small bands on American indie-rock labels." A few gigs, a few seven inch singles and then in 1998 they released their Captain mini album via Steve Lamacq's Deceptivelabel (at the time home to Elastica) before signing to Food Records(then home to Blur). Then, when every new British band from Coldplay to Badly Drawn Boy trotted around with an acoustic guitar, they delivered their debut full-length of erratic punk rock, Hope Is Important.
