The Dream Vampires is a collaborative project based on a long standing relationship between CEO and Label Owner/Producer Michael A Puskas and a talented bunch of musicians, vocalists and producers who all came together to realize a creative vision that a multitude of musical styles fused together with high energy modern production and strong identifiable lyrics could become the ultimate studio band with no intention to ever go out and take it live. From time to time new songs were written, produced and added to an assortment of online websites promoted by the label to spread the word about this highly fresh and unique musical outfit. The concept focuses on a vision that the “Dream Vampires” are those in the world that unwittingly suck our creativity dry. They feed off creative people as they have no drive of their own which makes them jealous…a very dangerous emotion indeed. A spineless collective that continue to threaten all that is new, original and unique by diluting its purpose to a simple emotional fodder that they feed to the masses and convince them of its viability and worth. This project is a labour of love and five years in the making and is dedicated to anyone who has felt the sting of creative jealousy. Rest assured you are not alone…..Retribution can be a sweet bitch!

We are pleased to announce the introduction of a number of new players to the team. Our number one male vocalist and engineer, Nick Stecki (Phoenix) has joined us as a song writing collaborator on the project. Dave Mustang (Oklahoma) has joined us as a Producer on the project. Sheridan Black and Sarah Hewett (Australia) have joined us as guest vocalists and song writers on the project while Brazilian based Fernanda Macedo has joined us as a recording vocalist on the project and plans to releasae a number of the new tunes from the soon to be recorded, "Orbital Dream" album in various territories around the world. Finally, Tim Metcalfe recently guested as male vocalist on a number of tunes for the new album. These included, The Reckoning and Pieces of HIstory which along with Salt on Sea and Let me Sleep have been earmarked as tracks for the new Twilight TV Series in 2011.

The first piece of licensing NEWS is that most of the NEW tracks have been picked up under a new deal with Peter Rafelson of RMC in LA as part of the soon to be launched, Digi Ramp Online Licensing system while EOS Music has also picked up most of the tracks for it's commercial work place licensing platform in the US.

We are pleased to announce that WE are about to undertake the recording of our second album, "Orbital Dream" and so we have joined forces with Pledge Music the NEW online platform that marries artists with FANS via a strong incentive based program to raise money while also supporting various charities. To see what it's all about click on the Pledge Music badge below for all the details... and please Pledge your support for the project.... no matter how small.

	The Way I Feel (Nick Stecki) A really well delivered tune with a strong orchestral vibe and an anthemic vocal delivery. A well defined identifiable storyboard with some great harmony work and sweet tones throughout.		Ballad
	Top In A Spin (Nick Stecki) Here is a track that mixes up the old school and the more modern sounds of today. Reminiscent of classic Zeppelin and filled with strong dynamics throughout the track lives and breathes as it lifts and drops in the structure to create a strong well defined arrangement that offers something quite fresh to the would be listener. Great sonic guitar sound and powerful low end rhythm section that can send a shiver down your spine. Really proud of this one!		Alternative Modern Rock
	Salt On Sea (Sheridan Black) Here is a beautifully crafted song that has a real original flair to it and is delivered in a typically dark and wanting Twilight style which makes it very much today.

	Smoke & Mirrors (Nick Stecki) Here is the most commercial and radio friendly tune on the album. With strong verses and sweet harmony's to hooky chorus structure complemented by sweet acoustic guitars and three part harmony's the song unfolds an all too familiar tale and delivers with great results.

This song will be the first radio single from the album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5qcZV0zVLY		Alternative Pop Rock

	H20 (Chris Vaughn / Nick Stecki) Here's a song that takes you back to the whimsical days of Sgt Pepper. A track filled with interesting twists and turns that challenge the listener to define what is going to happen next.

	Shifting Sands (Instrumental) A beautiful soundscape of middle eastern tones mixed with contemporary Spanish guitar and fused together with strings and a dulcet piano feel. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5qcZV0zVLY		Ambient
	On My Own (Chris Vaughn) A very simple track with a really straight forward structure and arrangement with the focus completely on the vocal delivery and the highly identifiable lyrics. Great harmony work and a few surprises at the end. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5qcZV0zVLY		Easy Listening/Soft Rock

	Looking Glass (Melissa Pollard) A more mellow style of female pop/rock tune with a big rhythm section and some sweet vocal hooks in the tracks melody.

	Twisted Around (Nick Stecki) Here is a beautifully structured power ballad and ode to my father (RIP) Its filled with emotion and desire for change and identifies with people who have lost a loved one. Beautifully arranged and delivered with some great vocal harmony's and interesting slide guitar work http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5qcZV0zVLY		Modern Rock
	My Painted Lady (Nick Stecki) Here is a more layed back track with some interesting twists and turns in the structure that are helped along with a strong dynamic vocal delivery. The storyboard speaks very much for itself and the production moves between a slower and more somber tone to a high energy outro with a lot of urgency and a power rock feel to really drive the tune http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5qcZV0zVLY		Rock Ballad
	Travel Diary (Instrumental) Here is a basic music interlude that will tie various tracks on the album together. Featuring some great slide guitar and great rootsy feel throughout. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5qcZV0zVLY		Avantgarde
	Midnight Dreary (Instrumental) An opening theme for a new Vampire movie for 2010 that has the log line, Dracula meets the Doors.
