The Glorious Veins

Four souls spread over three continents decide to go to New York to pursue a dream. It all began 
like most fairytales of old, with a chance encounter on Craigslist.
They came together with a mutual appreciation for all kinds of styles and a predilection for blending these influences to create a sound of their own.

The band’s singer and primary songwriter is Paul Pangman. Born and raised in Wisconsin, Paul showed a love and affinity for music from a very young age. Paul came to New York at the age of 18 to attend Columbia University, where he picked up the guitar and started writing music. In a few years he wrote well over 100 songs but he needed to find a band to play them. Fortunately for him, that was all about to change.

Matt “howlin” Howels, the guitarist, was born and raised in London, England. He taught himself how to play at age 12 and has been blowing minds with his slashing skills ever since. In the UK, he played with many different bands while in college at Southhampton and in London after graduation. In October of 2007, Matt moved to New York City where he immediately fell into the downtown blues scene before joining The GV’s.

Lee Grasso, the bassist, was born and raised in Connecticut. Originally a guitar player, Lee found himself playing bass for theGV's after they did a line-up change during August of '08.

And last but not least, drummer Wiggy Colmenares. Born and raised in the Philippines, Wiggy started playing the drums in middle school. Music became his passion and he went on to play in many successful Filipino rock bands. He moved to New York City in 2007 with his family and 
now lives in Queens.

K.Capsule

K.Capsule, under the government name of Frederick McKinney III, is not by a shot in the dark what he presumes to be, a "rapper". He finds himself as a lyricist but not just in any similar fashion of everyone else. "I like to stand out because it's something that's always just happened.." Fred quotes. I been writing for years at a time, and still haven't found the way to stop.. not that I would want to. Yes years, like since the 4th grade in a harry potter school journal lol. Hip-Hop is a major passion for me because like other things that I was good at. Basketball, Boxing ect. this is just the one thing where I don't get bored and can stay consistent on honing my skills.
During his sophomore & junior years of high-school Fred was stuck on music. It ran my everyday life, from waking up and standing at the bus stop, to walking the halls and even during class music was attached to me someway or another. At that time I was pretty tech-savvy and found a way to make my own beats and devised my first mixtape of any kind. Under the name "MoNoFoNe" and software Virtual DJ, 


I collected all my favorite tracks- & began to chop away until "Back 2 The Basiks" was completed.
In summer of 2008 when "Cap" graduated from Highland High School he and and a close friend "Woodie Connor" really decided to dig into the music. There for me was the basis of word placement, DJ'ing and really giving myself my first taste of what it could really be like to be famous. "1.oN" or Ion aka No.1 mixtape was released sometime in July of 08'.
April of 2009 was when things in turn went downhill for Fred. He had signed up with the ARMY and by Sept. was gone for 6 months to complete Basic Training.
On his arrival back home in mid-February the first thing he had on his mind was to get back to free-styling and working on his sound and flow. By doing that he says "I just had to hustle and get my mind back into how I can give my version of rap that I've gathered through my own set of words." Saving money and building his own home studio "Stage11". Cap went back to recording for the first time after months of pretentious writing. By August of 2010 "Cap" was back in the lab as he says & working harder than ever learning the trade. Come Feb of 2011 "W.I.N.G.S." was released, and with tons of positivity towards him lyrically and is building a fan base.

Currently, now Capsule is working with "DJ Semi" aka Mixtape Marvel, for the hosting of his next mixtape. Slip-N-Slide / On Da Grind, Musician Affiliation.
with the name of his next LP unknown, one thing Cap does say about it is;
"I said WINGS was a pre-quel..and that, was a hip-hop mixtape. This one, ehh not so much. Boy it's time to get down!

Johny Broadway

"As the sun sets behind the aging, crooked grin of the Detroit skyline, a poet contemplates the coming

stars from a bench on the other shore. In the distance, he can hear a band sing 'I'm crossing you

in style someday...' and the poet knows it's true."

Johnny Broadway is a Canadian singersongwriter originally from Windsor, Ontario who finds his home these days in the heart of the prairies, Winnipeg, Manitoba. His upcoming album Room 213 explores the lives of

people on the road, coming or going, searching for and finding their way home. Room 213 includes eleven stories that all happen in or around one motel room in Grand Forks, North Dakota, including a cleaning

maid, an affair, a runaway, a Christmas visit, a special phone call, a road trip, car troubles, a criminal running from the law, and the law catching up with him.

There's a whole world out there to explore, where Johnny's songs chase hopes and dreams down highways and open seas.

Described as everything from "Paul McCartney meets Andy Kaufman" to "a young Robert Smith", but comparisons aside, Johnny Broadway is "impossible to dislike and impossible to ignore."

Quotes/Reviews/Press:

"Johnny Broadway has the unique ability to inject heart-touching meaning into eccentric melodies. Truly creative... truly an artist."

– Jaylene Johnson

"Johnny Broadway has a compelling, unique stage presence. Whether he's regaling the crowd with his quirky stories or grabbing their attention with his expressive songwriting, Johnny is impossible to dislike and impossible to ignore."

– Stephen Johns

"Johnny Broadway may have been raised in the shadows of Motown, but don't expect any Berry Gordy antics on the former Windsorite's debut Discoverers. This is strictly singersongwriter stuff, although Broadway shows plenty of pluck and charisma. Armed with an uber-earnest voice and an arsenal of heart-onsleeve, indie-pop confessionals, he bounces between wistful melancholy and sunny optimism so deftly he even manages to pull off wince-worthy lyrics like 'I'm such a puppy for your loveliness.' No easy feat."

– David Schmeichel, The Winnipeg Sun

"On Discoverers, his first proper full-length release, Winnipeg by way of Ontario native Johnny Broadway puts forth a collection of heartfelt songs that ask listeners to explore the ebbs and flows of interpersonal relationships. The album's themes are centered around the desire to leave, the forces that keep us where we

are and the internal struggle we face when we're holding on while simultaneously trying to let go. There's also a pretty solid boat theme running like an undercurrent throughout the album. This might all turn real cheesy real fast if Mr. Broadway wasn't so melodically competent, and capable of turning phrases and hooks like he's working overtime in the crank factory. Where Broadway really shines though is on Discoverer's standout track, The Last Town in Ontario, where he intones: "We've many miles yet to go, through every inch of falling snow, to the last town in Ontario." It's moments like these that make listeners realize that Johnny might really be on to something. Though the tracks may not appeal to those who like their rocking a tad less precious, it'd

be hard for any music fan to not appreciate the breadth and scope of Broadway's songwriting, not to mention his relentless penchant for romance and the romantic. It doesn't hurt that Johnny's packing his metaphorical boats with boatloads of hummable melodies, either. Discoverers is a definite must hear out for fans of likewise lovelorn softies like Hawksley Workman and Danny Michel. Try it; It'll probably float your boat."

– Jarrett Storey, Stylus Magazine

Johnny Broadway Does It For The Ladies by Jen Zoratti (CHARTattack)
I've been on all sorts of interviews, but this was the first one that involved flowers, a limousine and a dinner. If that's not enough to prove that singer/songwriter Johnny Broadway is bringing the romance back to Winnipeg, then perhaps his collection of equally romantic songs will be enough to convince you. Discoverers, his endearing debut, is much more than meets the ear. The album listens like a loose narrative about a relationship, but it's not quite what you have in mind. "It's actually more about how to detach myself from a place I'd been for 18 years and reattach myself to a new place," Broadway says. "That's more the undercurrent. It's still a relationship, but it's a different kind of relationship." Broadway is referring to his long-term relationship with the 'Peg. The Windsor, Ont. native packed up his guitar, quit his scrappy punk outfit and made the move to Winnipeg as a starry-eyed 18-year-old. Why Winnipeg you ask? For a girl, of course.
"Yes, I moved here for a girl," Broadway laughs. "I was the lead guitarist in our concert band in high school. It was terrible. We had about 16 drummers because kids just like to hit shit. So we thought we'd organize a trip to show this off to the world." The band, complete with a healthy triangle section, headed off to Minneapolis. It was there where Broadway met his dream girl — a private school rebel with a punk rock haircut from Winnipeg. Perhaps taking The Beatles' advice a little too close to heart, "love is all you need" was definitely a mantra for the singer, now 25. With no money and in a new city, Broadway was determined to make it work
even as the relationship ended after two years."I would have quit making music if I hadn't moved here," Broadway says. "I would have been in Windsor, still writing 'I still hate you,
mom' songs." For a date, we spend a lot of time talking about ex-girlfriends. But relationships have long provided themselves as a perfect muse for those who have a romantic's way with words. Sometimes, however, it's a bit less calculated than that. "Sometimes I just wake up with a song," Broadway says. "I don't know where they come from, and I have a hard time taking credit for something that's just sort of there. I just try to sound appreciative." Lyrics like "I'm a puppy for your loveliness" are in sharp contrast to his angst-fuelled punk days in Windsor. Going solo allowed Broadway's lyrical ability to come to the fore. Discoverers is certainly pared-down and lo-fi, but it's all his. "When I was in a band, I wasn't a songwriter," Broadway says. "It was never mine. I never felt that ownership you feel when it's your own. The album is definitely on the raw side of things. It's not very James Blunt-y." But the dude is still, well, a dude. There was a time when the motive for picking up a guitar was far less poetic. "Eventually it was about the girls," Broadway laughs. "No kid can deny that. Girls are screaming because you're on stage. That's awesome. We had a few brassieres flung at us in the punk days."
Johnny Broadway's CD release party is Sunday at the Academy Bar & Eatery.
