Casiotone for the Painfully Alone is
the beats-and-keys solo project of 31 yr old singer, songwriter and
Chicago resident, Owen Ashworth. Drawing heavy influence from
traditional Americana as well as 80's synth pop and commercial hip hop,
the music of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone is a curious mix of
austere character studies and playful electronic programming.
After recording three albums of cassette-recorded, two-minute exercises
in pop minimalism, Ashworth's most recent album, Etiquette, changed
the focus from a decidedly utilitarlian aesthetic to a broader
production spectrum that finally gave his affecting song writing the
space it deserves. In collaboration with producers and musicians like
Jherek Biscoff (of The Dead Science and Degenerate Art Ensemble) and
Jason Quever (The Papercuts and Pan American Recording Studio), the
sound of Casiotone for the Painfully Alone has grown to include pianos,
organs, strings, flutes, drums, and pedal steel guitars in addition to
Ashworth's signature electronics and drum machines.
Live, Owen Ashworth recreates his recordings using a makeshift dub
soundsystem. Glitchy drum machine rhythms, battery-operated
synths, melodic loops, and hand-triggered samples are routed through
various echo boxes and filters to accompany his slow, deliberate vocal
style.
Recently, Owen Ashworth has been quietly releasing a steady stream of
new tracks by way of limited edition vinyl singles for a number of
small labels, meanwhile remixing songs for friends like Dudley Benson
and Headlights, and contributing music to
several independent American films, such as Medicine for Melancholy and
Stay the Same Never Change. Two different CD compilations of his
limited vinyl releases and soundtrack work are planned for the coming
months, with a brand new album to follow in early 2009.

These folks will funk your night away like no other. Blackberry Jam formed in late fall of 96. The band has emerged as one
of the more eclectic units around merging raw rock with chill-out soul.
Originating in Indianapolis, Indiana... founding member Ron "Poncho"
Hedrick and his older brother Solar thought of the name "Blackberry
Jam". Even before the band name the vision was present. BBJ is
committed to presenting a whole new sound based on the diversed
attitude the band brings to their music. The group whose core members
consist of talented multi-genre music lovers... proves the unique sound
of Blackberry Jam is intentional.
Being a band such as Blackberry Jam has allowed the group to enjoy a
wide demographic of supporters. BBJ's urban mastery puts them in a
class of very few. They have played many venues ranging from cozy clubs
to large college universities. Not alot of bands are able to touch so
many different people the way BBJ can. The musicians in the band are
good people who believe in pure music. Through dedication and love for
the urban scene...Blackberry Jam is committed to providing its power
and finesse to an already great culture.
