Ripple News - Modern Day Moonshine Featured on KPIG’s Fresh Pork Chops Radio Show

It’s been quite the journey for Modern Day Moonshine over the past 6 months. Since releasing their third full-length album, Refuge, in November, the band has charted on various regional radio stations, placed on the Americana Music Association charts, were tapped to open for national touring act Brian Jordan in San Francisco, have been invited to perform a showcase for an advertising firm in the Bay Area, and now have become the featured act for this week’s Fresh Pork Chops radio program on KPIG-FM 107.5 in Santa Cruz.

During a massive AAA radio campaign that has highlighted tracks “Don’t Waste” and “Unsung” from the bands’ Refuge album, KPIG gravitated toward the album so much that for the next week at 7:00pm PST, the radio station will be airing tracks from the album.

Meanwhile, Modern Day Moonshine is working feverishly to hit the road to bring the album live to fans across the country! For those who can’t wait for more Modern Day Moonshine, join the bands Bootleggers Club and get the opportunity to hear unreleased, demos, brand new, and live tracks from their immense vault of material!
 

From our Good Friend, Bill, over at the Soda Shop.  "The Ripple patch just kicking back and enjoying some of the best that Ripple-Music has to offer."

Thanks, Bill.

Modern Day Moonshine soaring up the Charts!

Modern Day Moonshine is staying busy by attacking the Americana radio airwaves. Their first single, “Don’t Waste”, has been picked up by a number of stations across the U.S. and Europe, and even topping the charts on several stations, including #52 on WMSV’s Top 100 (Mississippi State University), #169 on RadioFreeAmericana, and #3 on Wildman Steve’s Top 65. Of further note, many stations in the Netherlands have requested the song for rotation and we should be seeing reports coming along in the near future.

The first tracks from Modern Day Moonshine’s Bootleggers Club will be made available this week. Spread across the bands' newly redesigned website and social media, the project allows "MDM Bootleggers" to access a new song every Tuesday. With a catalogue of songs reaching well into the hundreds, the streaming mp3's will range from demos and live performances to previously unreleased studio tracks, and will feature exclusive photos and updates from the band. Fans will be polled each month to choose their favorite tracks, with the winners being compiled into a special edition “Bootlegger Album” that will be available as a download only.

And we just got a report that Modern Day Moonshine's Refuge album landed at #22 on the WALW-FM radio station . . . they're tucked neatly between Black Crowes, Eric Clapton, Tom Petty, and Gov't Mule! Now that's a cup of alright!

We've also learned that Modern Day Moonshine has crashed the National Charts, breaking into the top 300 nationally for roots/Americana!

MODERN DAY MOONSHINE BEGINS FREE "BOOTLEGGERS" CLUB FOR FANS

With the release of their new studio album Refuge (Ripple Music) just weeks away, blues/soul/rock trio Modern Day Moonshine announce the launch of their free fan interactive  "MDM Bootleggers” Club

Spread across the bands' newly redesigned website and social media, the project allows "MDM Bootleggers" to access a new song every Tuesday. With a catalogue of songs reaching well into the hundreds,  the streaming mp3's will range from demos and live performances to previously unreleased studio tracks, and will feature exclusive photos and updates from the band.  Fans will be polled each month to choose their favorite tracks, with the winners being compiled into a special edition “Bootlegger Album”  that will be available as a download only.

Offered free to all MDM fans, the only “cost” to join is their word of mouth.  Operated much like the charity candy display at a gas station cash register, MDM is using the honor system of holding fans accountable to helping spread the word.  In return for their efforts, MDM Bootleggers will have access to all new material as well as contests, giveaways and free tickets to upcoming shows. 

Commented drummer David Burrows "These tunes need to be heard, and we want the fans to determine a unique album.  This is the quickest way to get them out.  We're really looking forward to hooking up our fans for helping spread the Modern Day Moonshine name."
 
Modern Day Moonshine's Refuge will see a November 23rd release through Ripple Music.

Jam Band Extraordinaire, Modern Day Moonshine’s New Album Slated For November Release

After signing on with Ripple Music in the waning weeks of 2009, the Bay Area’s Modern Day Moonshine found themselves in the scenic, serene, and solitary environs of Tres Llamas Studios, a converted ranch overlooking the Towalame River in Northern California. With no one to disturb except for the indigenous wildlife and the three llamas that roam the studio grounds, the band spent late days and even later nights laying down the basic tracks to the dozen or so songs that would eventually make up Refuge, the bands third full-length album.

Scheduled to hit the streets on November 23rd, 2010, Refuge is an album of soulful blues-based rock that features grand elements of jazz, funk, and roots-Americana. This musical diversity has made Modern Day Moonshine practically impossible to accurately categorize, and will undoubtedly leave listeners emotionally charged and excited to explore the multiple layers of the recorded sounds.

Armed with a catalog of well over a hundred songs and the experience of performing more than five hundred shows (including a two and a half years as the house band for the House of Blues in San Diego), Modern Day Moonshine are prepared for a lengthy stint on the road where no two shows will ever sound the same.

Refuge is available for pre-order at the Ripple Music Store or for digital download at Digstation/ModernDayMoonshine
