Paul Parker Aged To Perfection

Written by NetBear on February 2, 2010 – 10:30 am -

I remember hearing Paul Parker’s Right On Target track at a Castro bar during the 80’s. At a time of so many girlie voices in dance music, I loved the sound of his manly voice. The next day I hit my favorite record store, Butch Wax Records, and got my first look at him. This handsome mustachioed singer was my new favorite.

Paul Parker Through The Years

Over the years Paul Parker has consistently maintained a masculine look, featuring some kind of of facial hair. Today he’s sporting a goatee and showing a little snow on the roof for his new album. Paul has turned into the salt and pepper daddy that we all knew he would be.

Paul Parker Releases New Album

Written by NetBear on January 25, 2010 – 3:20 pm -

Tomorrow disco legend Paul Parker releases his first new album in over a decade. Take It From Me is a collection of brand new music on the Utmosis label.

Paul Parker Take It From Me

I’m in search of a new sensation, on the verge of a revelation.

The cover track, Take It From Me, starts the album off with a new style for the singer. You immediately realize that this ain’t your daddy’s disco music. It’s fresh and modern. When the second track, Chargin’ Me Up, kicks-in, you’ll know it’s time to dance — this track has a catchy and driving electronic beat.

Though the album releases tomorrow you can preview the whole thing right here!

Lost Patrick Cowley Album To Be Released

Written by NetBear on October 1, 2009 – 12:57 pm -

In San Francisco, during the age of the ultra butch Castro Clone look, there was a disco soundtrack coming out of every gay bar in the neighborhood. And some of the most memorable music was coming from San Francisco synthesizer whiz and producer Patrick Cowley. Now, years after his untimely death, a long lost album from this artists is going to be released.

Patrick Cowley and Jorge Scarras Catholic

Recorded between 1976 and 1979, Catholic isn’t your daddy’s Patrick Cowley disco. It is a genre-bending concept collaboration between Cowley and vocalist Jorge Socarras that ranges from minimalistic proto-techno to synth-driven post punk. This was wildly experimental music for its time.

The original album master recording for this album resurfaced in 2008 when former Megatone Records co-owner John Hedges moved to Miami. Local San Francisco DJ, Ken Woodard found it in the basement when helping Hedges move his record collection.

Catholic will be released in stores for Patrick Cowley’s birthday on October 19th, 2009. Pre-order the album from Amazon.com now.
