Hey gang - Here's a shout-out to lgbt music fans and radio hosts about 
exciting music projects we've worked on at URBAN PRODUCTIONS that are happening now

Here's to gay pop idol MATTHEW DUFFY on his brand new album THE HEALING 
MACHINE. Vocals for many of the cd's songs were laid down by Matthew here at Urban 
Productions. Also   - check out the bass guitar on track 10 - "Closer" and 
acoustic guitar on Matt's cover of Cat Stevens' hit "The Wind" - by yours truly.

The rock video, "What's Your Name," - the hit single from ROGER KUHN's PROOF 
album, is now up on LOGO's Click List.  The entire PROOF cd was recorded here 
at Urban Productions, NYC. The band rocking NYC's Washington Square Park in 
the "What's Your Name" video is: Roger Kuhn - vocals, acoustic gtr; Robert Urban 
- electric gtr; and R.U.B. drummer Anthony Maullela - drums. Check us out at:

Another new single - The same-sex love ballad "All the Man You Need" - 
recorded here by MARSHALL ZARNE for his SEX, BOOZE & the DEVIL cd is now up on 
Marshall's myspace page - listen at: www.myspace.com/marshallzarne

Making the rounds on lgbt radio playlists - "Devil With a Blue Dress/Good 
Golly Miss Molly" - this piss-hot recording of the famous MITCH RYDER & the 
DETROIT WHEELS classic - is by our old band YOLANDA AND THE PLASTIC FAMILY captured 
live at CBGB's NYC in April 2004 .   The bandmembers: Yolanda (now called 
Roger Mapes) on vocals, Robert Urban on vocals & guitar, Tosh Mana on bass, and 
Anthony Maullela on drums. 

Soon to be released - keep an ear out for:

Singer/songwriter/guitarist/bassist DON HARVEY's upcoming new cd - 
"JUST HAVIN' SOME GOOD CLEAN FUN" which I had the extreme pleasure to work on 
as production & technical consultant. I'll wait for it's official release to 
review it in full - but let me say now - this album is TRUCKIN'!!! -   ala 
Grateful Dead/Canned Heat/Hot Tuna - and every one of it's songs is loaded with 
queer wit and pride.   This album makes u groove and it makes u grin - ear to 
ear!

and........ We're hard at work in the Urban Productions studio creating 
singer/songwriter/guitarist MORRY CAMPBELL's 14 song debut cd "LONG LONG WAY HOME". 
  Watch for the cd's prerelease Christmas single - "Frightful Weather" which 
in addition to Morry also features jazz keyboardist Dan Manjovi on electric 
piano and yours truly on percussion.

luv -
