Although the original line up may have changed, Clairmont is one of those bands that
have withstood the test of time.
The band formed in College Station in 2004 with the idea of bringing fresh and
entertaining music to audiences in the BCS as well as across the state of Texas. Later that
year, the band was featured as the title track to the Esotype Records compilation entitled
“The Real Life Threats of You and Me.”
In 2005 the band released their debut EP, “The Dweller,” which they feel showcased the
wealth of talent, creativity and intensity that the band offers their listeners.
After their first release, Clairmont went through a change in line up as well as a
change in style. They began testing the limits of samples and programmed loops as an
accompaniment to their sound. In 2008 Clairmont went back into the studio, “Strength
Like Lions,” the bands second album and first major release was a testament to the way
they had evolved as musicians yet kept what audiences enjoyed about their original
sound.
“The same clean-cut, driving electricity was present but electronic samples were added
to construct additional layers to the sound,” said Josh Taylor, vocalist and guitar player for
Clairmont. “The samples consisted of synth leads, ambient pads, drum loops and tones to
develop our music as a tonally-rich powerhouse.”
According to the band, Clairmont is currently developing ideas for a third release, which
is tentatively scheduled to drop sometime in 2011.
“The third album will play host to an exciting culmination of new ideas, fresh sounds, a
unique mixture of styles, while retaining the same thoughtful, encouraging and powerful
sound that the band has developed through the years,” said Taylor.
Clairmont, currently a two-piece group, features Taylor as well as Ben Love on Bass,
samples and Vocals. You can see them live on stage Feb. 11 in San Antonio with Hawk
Nelson. You can also check them out on Twitter, @clairmont, their website, www.
clairmontonline.com, on iTunes or by visiting www.freeclairmont.com for free music and
a sneak peak of their new album.
Although they say that no one can see the future, they hope to still be making music for
years to come.

H&M Comes to Texas
Many people have come to know Brandon Rhyder’s name and music
over the last few years. Regionally he’s definitely a staple of the Texas
scene. Brandon Rhyder is different. When you hear the voice you know
it’s unmistakably him. When he comes out with a new single you
never know what you’re going to get. Brandon Rhyder loves to take
you to the top and then jerk the rug out from under you and start the
process all over again. Brandon Rhyder doesn’t write for a genre, but
rather for the inspiration he receives.
‘I take pride in the songs that I write and want to be able to sing many
of them for years to come. I still have a lot to learn and as life presents
itself I’ll continue to strive to get better,’ says Brandon.
The album Head Above Water, available now on iTunes and www.
brandonryhder.com also includes a bonus DVD featuring an exclusive
behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of this disc.
Hurricane
Whether it is in his writing, performing or everyday life Brandon is
always striving
to get better. And his unerring dedication continues with the release
of the Don
Harry’s
William’s cover, “Lord I Hope This Day Is Good” to radio on January 17,
2011. The single will be featured as a bonus studio track on Brandon’s
upcoming Live at Billy Bob’s Texas album, scheduled to record on
February 25, 2011. This marks a historical event, as this will be the first
time that Smith Music Group has released a bonus studio track before
the Live at Billy Bob’s recording has taken place!
To learn more about Brandon Rhyder and upcoming tour dates, log on

It’s a typical January evening. There’s an all too common chill in the air and
although it’s barely half past 6 o’clock, the sun is well on its way down. For all
intents and purposes, it’s still winter. However, as I approach the Aggie Softball
Complex and walk up into the bleachers, something begins to change. While
watching the Texas A&M Softball Team wrap up evening practice; I am suddenly
overwhelmed by the sensation that spring is just around the corner.
There’s a definite energy and excitement on the field that hints of warmer days
to come. But that’s not all. There is also something else. There is an unmistakable
seriousness of purpose and high expectations.

Directions
1. Pour oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat (Add about a
tablespoon of butter if you have it to hand). Add onion and sauté until
translucent and slightly browned. Add tomatoes and cook until almost
no liquid remains in pan, stirring frequently.
2. Add cream, vodka and red pepper and boil until thickened to sauce
consistency. Season to taste with salt and pepper. (Sauce can be
prepared 1 day ahead, covered, and refrigerate.)
3. Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still
firm to bite, stirring occasionally. Drain well.
4. Transfer to a large bowl. Bring sauce to a simmer. Pour over pasta and
toss well. (Optional: place dish in oven for 5-7 minutes)
5. Sprinkle with Parmesan and chives, serve, and enjoy!
