VIZA

www.experienceviza.com

Viza continues to captivate the global music scene with an erratically amusing blend of energized international rock. Unique in its musical arsenal is the inclusion of oud and percussion blended with more traditional rock elements such as guitar, bass and drums. This fascinating fusion, combined with dramatic and powerful live performances have garnered Viza significant success all over the world.

Recorded by Jared Gosselin (D12, Macy Gray) at Frank Zappa’s UMRK Studios, Viza’s fifth album, “Carnivalia” is the band’s most animated work – a journey through a symbolic theme park derived from satirical and dramatic influences. Inspired from Gogol Bordello’s multicultural rhapsodies and System of a Down’s notorious screams and riffs, Carnivalia embodies Viza’s groundbreaking songwriting and experimentation which has amazed audiences with a mesmerizing blend of instruments, various styles and continued evolution of Viza’s sound.

In September 2012, Viza will embark on its second tour with System of a Down frontman Serj Tankian for his “Harakiri” World Tour, a nearly 6 week endeavor featuring 19 performances all around the world. In 2010, Viza also supported Tankian’s "Imperfect Harmonies" Tour in Europe in the cities of Hamburg, Cologne, Paris, Zurich, Bologna, Athens and Yerevan. “Loving the new record; Carnivalia’s awesome. I love hearing the new influences and the fun loving spirit and musical wizardry. Overall a really great effort,” said Tankian. “Viza is one of the most unique and interesting bands I have ever encountered. Their live shows are energetic and fun,” he added. Tankian has worked extensively with the group, serving as Executive Producer of Viza’s previous album entitled “Made In Chernobyl”, and also sang as a guest vocalist on the album’s “Viktor” track.

Formerly known as Visa, the band released two EPs and two full length albums, along with a award winning music video. The band's De Facto, Eros and Made In Chernobyl albums incorporated music pervaded with sonorities from various influences and musical styles and blended elements of aggressive rock, dance and satirical social commentary.

Among the band’s extensive touring schedule, Viza has performed at one of Europe’s largest and most prestigious music events at Hungary’s Sziget Festival’s mainstage (alongside Korn, The Killers, Axwell, The Vaccines, The XX among several others) as part of a month long European tour in August 2012. Viza has also performed at Sweden’s Malmofestivalen, Norway's Kartfestivalen, Slovenia's Schengenfest and Trnfest and Greece’s Rockwave Festival (alongside The Prodigy, Gogol Bordello, Flogging Molly, Marky Ramone’s Blitzkreig), and has toured Europe 6 times in the past 2 years alone.

Demonstrating a knack for reinventing old rock classics, Viza recently covered the Doors tune "Alabama Song (Whisky Bar)" by adding its own strong seasonings and aggressive fusion style in a compelling reimagination of this classic rock ballad. The song is available for free download here and will be featured on Viza's upcoming tour with Serj Tankian.

Aside from a passion for music, touring and song writing, Viza’s extensive performances around the globe also serve as their voice for promoting social consciousness of human rights and community issues – as well as providing opportunities to fundraise for various charities, homeless shelters and orphanages.


PUI

www.puitribe.com

PUi, or often referred to as The PUi Tribe due to the culture that has formed around the music of the band, is the pioneer of a new movement called Neo Primal which doubles as the artist’s debut album title.
Neo-Primal is the emergence of a sound inspired by an idea. It is a progressive, upward motion that draws its strength from the depth of it’s roots. A futuristic mind driven by a primitive heart. Tribal Drums dancing around Synthesizer Sounds fueled by aggressive guitar riffing. Ethnically diverse and emotionally intoxicating, the sound is a melodic, rhythmic texture bred from Metal, R&B, Soul, Middle Eastern motifs and Electronica. PUi Ritual events have sold-out venues like Irving Plaza (2 nights back to back), Gramercy Theater and Highline Ballroom. Through the collection of these experiences, The PUi Tribe has an incredibly dedicated following called The People Of The Moon who bear the symbol of the movement “a crescent” as a tattoo which has been the biggest participating factor for the success of these events. It is ever growing in a grass roots fashion combining incredible show production.
Perhaps the biggest testament to the power of the crowd is how PUi raised 10 thousand dollars in a crowd funding campaign to finance the production of their
debut album “Neo-Primal” The members of PUi are given the titles of Prince, Siren, Makina, Shaa,Tek and Ki.
Current Prince and founder of The PUi Tribe is Anatolian native Nazimcan Shuva. The line-up is completed by Leo, Brian, Ory, Liron, and Justin. When the day comes, these titles will pass on to successors chosen by the previous holders.
This tradition aims to make The PUi Tribe a bright burning flame of expression for generations to come. Whenever asked what “PUi” means, Prince Nazimcan Shuva, has one answer for them: “Tabula Rasa. Tabula Rasa is a blank slate. PUi is your blank slate. Look at us. We are your thoughts. We are your judgment. Our actions define the meaning of the word, after all what can describe what we are, better than what we do?”
