I would like to nominate Ray Auger from the band “The Reach” as Best Male Rock singer in Worcester. With all the Metal in the Worcester scene Ray continues to belt out the Rock. I’ve been playing guitar for over 20 years and I’ve worked with many musicians and not only can Ray hit the rock notes, he has a distinct rock voice. Ray could most likely sing in many genres and in my opinion is the Best out there for Rock singers in Worcester right now. The Reach will be working on new material that will showcase Ray’s voice, which to this point was not part of the writing process. Thank you for considering Ray for this honor. Sincerely, Peter Hubbard.

I also have some acoustic work Ray and I did that showcases his ability to be suttle.

Dj Reckless is the best dj in Worcester by far. Nobody has his skills. The residents at Club Instyle are nothing special. I was not impressed. People don’t go there for the music. They go there because it’s a new place. I nominate Dj Reckless

I would love to see the band Uncle Wally get together for a reunion. They are soooo much fun!!! Also Mike Gianfriddo is and has been in the music scene for more than four decades. He is very giving and helpful to all upcoming and seasoned musicians. He has traveled literally all over the world to share his gift! He has played for the troops and is always the first one to say yes to someone in need or anyone needing a fundraiser. He is a gift to the music world for many reasons. For the above and many more I feel he should receive the lifetime achievement award!! Thanks so much!! #1 Fan!!!

BEST CD, BEST MALE VOCALIST, BEST HIP HOP ACT, BEST LIVE ACT and BEST COVER ART- For KEITH KLEP NAPIER

Comment by Priscilla Delvalle — February 4, 2011 @ 9:54 am
1. If your band averages 5 ppl per show and you win the WMA that is just absolutely funny and BS
2. If your band hails from anywhere other than Worcester thats BS
3. If you play most of your shows outside of Worcester and have to have friends and family bus in to actually draw in Worcester thats also BS
4. If your band has to chip in to record or play a show because you lack the necessary ticket sales… BS
5. If your band has to pay to play… BS
6. If clubs don’t call you and beg you to play on a weekend (not Sunday) and you win the WMA that is BS

The last band to actually make it from Worcester… J geils, Aerosmith or Boston…

And that’s a long time ago… hint hint

Best Producer and Engineer – Alejandro “tochi” Fontanez of fontanezrecording.com, a young local producer/engineer working with local and big name artist like Wyclef Jean, Viny Idol, and Fred the Godson of Bad Boy Records

Comment by Mike Foster — February 4, 2011 @ 1:51 pm
I have no idea who any of these bands you guys are talking about are. And I consider myself quite knowledgeable about our local scene. If these bands do not hail out of Worcester county, we should not be nominating them. It’s also BS to say that a cover band is the best band around. That just speaks volumes about the scene in general if we are saying a COVER band should win every award. Sad days.

Comment by armada — February 4, 2011 @ 1:55 pm

Dead and the Damned being nominated for anything is ridiculous! Unless the Category is “Band that clears out a club the quickest” They’re a TERRIBLE cover band that needs to play dress up to get themselves any attention…totally lame….They’re no better than any 2bit DJ playing OTHER PEOPLE MUSIC… get a life and please GO AWAY!

I would like to nominate “Weirdbeard”…Dave Emerson- McCafferty for best perof0rmer and all round best talent. He composes all the music for his band “THE DEAL”, who are just great. He is a gifted and transecending guitarist, since he was ten years old. A Berkley College business head and a freakin’ hard worker who never gives it up. Let’s hear it for Weirdbeard and THE DEAL!!!!!

Random Dude 2 has obviously spent too much time playing to barstools and not enough time at a show with The Dead and The Damned… THE band to call if you want to make sure everyone stays till the club closes! Headliners in Worcester usually suffer the fate of playing to peoples backs.. but these guys get everyone involved in the show and keep the place jumping till the house lights come on!

Don’t take my word for it though… check them out for yourself.

Comment by Random Dude Sucks — February 10, 2011 @ 9:06 pm

Comment by Igor Rezende — February 14, 2011 @ 9:38 am
To Random Dude sux: You have no idea what you’re talking about. I don’t play to bar stools since I don’t play in a band.. but I have had the misfortune of being at a club to see another band while the Dead and the Damned were playing, and I felt sorry for them because the handful of people in the place saw the embarrassment that was their ‘performance’.. I don’t smoke either, but that night I thought of starting so I didn’t have to go back inside and subject myself to the visual and audible molestation of tunes that I USED to enjoy.

To ‘X’: you’re just as lame them.

To Chris: it’s sad that you believe that, especially that last part…

On the other hand though, I did nominate The Dead and the Damned for best cover act.

All I can say is that The Dead and the Damned put a lot of effort and talent into their theatrical show. I’m sick to death of stoic musicians up there – just standing there boring me to death. TDATD is fun…and they constantly add more songs based on crowd requests! If you want to watch live music – catch any band standing there strumming…if you want a SHOW, check out the Dead and the Damned. You can have your cake and eat it too…or a cheeseburger.

just wanted to send out some voting advice…
to ensure that the right/best band for each category is selected, be sure you vote for the one you think is best according to the category…

For example, if a Cover band is a great cover band, but does not play Metal and they are in both categories, it would be better to vote for them as best cover band than best metal band.. ya’dig?

Don’t just vote for a certain band every time you see their name just because you’re banging the drummer…

So as promised… I’m back with feedback from yesterdays show. All i can say is WOW!

End of and Era, Tester, Scarecrow Hill all brought great original material and rocked the place! The singer from The Dead and The Damned got invited up by every other band on the bill to sing a tune with them.

The Dead and The Damned worked their asses off through everyone else’s set, kept the crowds interest, served a shit load of cake and then they hit the stage and all hell broke loose. Rumor was the clown was going to be late to his own party cause he was very ill. He walked in with a big bunch of balloons and went straight for the kids to hand them all out. If he was sick he sure hid it well!

Opened up with Korn’s Falling Away From Me and nailed it. Right into Psychosocial from Slipknot… bridge got a little out of time but they pulled it back together and finished strong. After another 12-14 songs they closed the night with Thunderkiss and Beautiful People and I gotta hand it to them. They kicked ass!

The giant snake was a big hit, everyone wanted pictures with it. They were a lot of fun before they set foot on stage and once they did they tore it up!

You definitely have to see this show for yourself and then decide… for yourself. Keep your eyes open because you never know what’s going on when these guys are in the room.

-Kevin

Great job by all the bands on the bill including Revisited, a three piece band getting their feet wet in the business.

Comment by Sloan — March 8, 2011 @ 11:02 pm
All I want to say is, I cannot nominate/vote for your band if I have never heard of you. So everyone saying “where is so-and-so?” obviously either isn’t that popular, doesn’t really care for these awards, or just didn’t do a good job promoting them.

Concerned Musician, I think it is a bit ridiculous to say none of the bands draw in Worcester. Did you pay attention? Pretty sure the Flock of Assholes are killing it. And Niki, Dale, Bobby Gadoury Trio, they all do very well. And Duncan Arsenault is pretty much a Worcester legend a this point. Of course there are bands on here that none of us know. It’s the nature of this style of awards. I guess I would like to know who you think deserves to be nominated and then explain to me why they were not. Probably because they either didn’t care about these or they just didn’t promote. Just because you think someone should have been nominated because you think they are the best doesn’t just make it happen. People have to vote. And if they are not nominated, then not enough people voted for them. There’s really nothing to argue. Unless you want The Pulse to change the way they do this, and not let the public choose the nominees. But that is a completely different argument all in itself.

New England blues legend Bruce Marshall formed the BRUCE MARSHALL GROUP in 1991 and has been performing and recording steadily throughout the US since their inception. Bruce has shared the stage with over 150 national acts, was a former member of The Toy Caldwell Band (formed from members of Marshall Tucker) and toured with Lynyrd Skynyrd, The Outlaws and Charlie Daniels. Bruce Marshall has represented New England twice at the International Blues Challenge in Memphis, has released 6 CD’s, placed songs in film, won the Blues Audience Magazine Readers Poll Awards in 2011 and 2006 and was the vocalist for WB Mason Extra Innings on NESN TV 3 years running. Bruce is in his 37th year of full time music-making, and he has played over 7,000 shows with no signs of ever slowing down.

Finally finally finally this city is about to have a legitimate hiphop presence win this much deserved award. Time to dispell the myth that all Worcester has is corny acts talking about “swag” while they repeat the same tired ass subject matter… FAMILY BUSINESS, YOU HAVE REACHED THE TIPPING POINT! SAW YOU TEAR IT DOWN LAST MONTH AT THE LUCKY DOG AND YESSSSS YOU ARE THE BEST!!!!

Comment by Droid — March 9, 2011 @ 5:09 pm
To Concerned musician,

Every year there are people like you that post on here and say the same things. “Who are these bands?”, and my favorite, “(Insert category here) is a joke.” Now you did it with more explitives under the guise of punctuation points than the others, but with far more ignorance. That is impressive. You see, most of them at least say “(Insert band name here) is so much better than any of these bands”, because they think that the musical landscape of Worcester does not extend past their own tiny thought-world, so if a band is not known to them then they must not be popular or good. This is obviously wrong because no one has heard of all of the national bands that are very popular unless you follow their particular genre of music. They have the advantage of an advertising budget too, while local bands have to rely on online promotion, friends, and word of mouth. This makes it much more difficult to get your name out across genres. You have taken it a step further and just said everything is a joke and sad, but provided no reasons or perspective.

So lets go point by point here: You claim that there is “not a single band that draws in Worcester”. Wrong. To expand on Amanda’s point, I am in the metal community, but I have seen many of these bands and most of them do draw…..they draw very well in fact. Jon Short, The Flock of Assholes, Tester, The Phreaks…..all of these bands, just to name a few, draw well and are well known within respected circles in Worcester. Clearly you are not a part of these circles, all of which are different, but it makes their opinions no less important than yours. The “joke on male vocals” and the “why not have it be a death metal awards” comments are lumped together (I think? ) so I will address them as such. There is only one death metal vocalist in the group, which happens to be me, and I am not considered to be “death metal” in most circles who like “death metal”, so I will not sit here and sing my own praises, but that does not a “really $%^& death metal awards” make. The Reach is a classic Rock band…..very far from metal….and their singer is nominated. Dale Lepage is a modern crooner…..even farther from metal….and he is nominated. Scarecrow Hill is a hard rock band……I guess this one is closer, but still not even in the ballpark. Perhaps you were referring to the other categories, but failed to say so? In that case, unfortunately for you there is a metal category. There is no getting around a metal band there, but there are far more non-metal bands and performers on the ballot than there are metal performers in every other category. The “Live Act” and “Reunite” categories are open to everyone, but without going through them band by band lets just say that after listening to all 8, there are maybe three that fall under the metal category and that would be pushing it. Three out of 8….hmmmm….not a good percentage. Again, though, lets also keep in mind that this is just my opinion and it means nothing more than anyone else’s. I did back it up with examples though, which you failed to do…..and didn’t make blanket statements based on my ignorance of the music scene.

Your last point I will address here because it speaks to my larger point. This is a popularity contest for those that are cognisant of The Pulse and these awards. The winners are determined by an online voting system that is as fair as they can make it within their limited resources. All methods of determining music “award winners” are flawed and that is why there are multiple awards…..People’s choice…..the grammys……the musician’s guild awards……all of these have different methods and all are flawed, but provide a forum for detemining types of excellence or popularity based upon a set of standards. They also provide a place for good promotion. These awards are the same way on a smaller scale. They are like the people’s choice awards. The vote determines the winners. There really is nothing to argue. If you want to win…..promote it. It helps considering this is all on a local….not a national scale. So, lastly…”who goes to these shows?” …..apparently enough people to take the time to vote these performers in over whomever you though should be in their place. Just because you or I do not like a particular style of music does not mean people do not enjoy it and go to shows where it is played. By your logic I should say “Who goes to pop music shows?” and “I have never heard of (pop artist-x) so who would vote for him/her?” because I do not listen to or like pop music. Clearly I would be wrong to say that because a ton of people enjoy pop and would vote for performers I have never heard of because I do not follow that type of music. It is a narrow minded, ignorant, and egocentric point of view that you have adopted. At least do your homework and stand behind your opinions if you are inclined to voice them online. There’s nothing more worthless than anonymous, ignorant slander.

You could actually be using this poll to help the scene grow by turning people on to all the options out there… at the very least give folks a “write-in” option so you guys can get it right if you didn’t in the first place.

I like the bands on this list. Naturally, you need to go to frequent the clubs in town in order to see a fair cross-section of bands, but I have seen several of these bands and each drew a good crowd.
I like Tester and The Reach, Mongrel for punk and Cougar Bait for Up and Comers. They were the surprise band that blew me away last summer at The Lucky Dog. Two great guitarists, kick ass original rock songs, and they close with a cover Bowie’s Mooonage Daydream that will blow you away. The lead singer is like 7′ tall and he jumps around like a nut.
Over-all I think that this year’s talent is a step up from last year.
