Not too much on Emm... Perhaps some of the Asians out there have been demanding role models. Lauren AsianAvenue.com Plugged In 2000 Concert Tour Raises Awareness of Asian American Musicians Plugged in 2000 a Direct Extension of Successful 1999 CD Featuring Hot Asian American Recording Artists New York, April 24, 2000 - AsianAvenue.com (www.AsianAvenue.com), the largest online community for Asian Americans, announced today it will host it's final Free Plugged In 2000 Concert at New York's Union Square Park in Conjunction with 21st Annual CAPA Asian Heritage Festival. AsianAvenue.com has already hosted two other free concerts in Los Angeles and San Francisco. AsianAvenue.com, published by Community Connect Inc., has quickly become the most effective online community for reaching Asian Americans. "It is our goal to create an online community that truly services the Asian American population. We want to provide a vehicle where online discussions lead to offline events and vice versa," said Benjamin Sun, President and CEO of Community Connect Inc. In 1999, over a quarter of a million AsianAvenue.com members noted an interest in music, indicating a clear demand for Asian American role models in music and entertainment. As a result, last year AsianAvenue.com pulled together the AsianAvenue.com Plugged In CD, featuring nine Asian American artists. This offline, grassroots initiative, not only resulted in the distribution of over 150,000 CDs, but facilitated online discussions creating a demand for the live performances AsianAvenue.com is now providing at various universities and community events. "We want to take some of the more popular artists directly to their fans with our 'Plugged In 2000 Concert Tour'," said Sun. The final concert in New York's Union Square Park will be held on May 7th in conjunction with the CAPA Asian Heritage Festival. KAI and The Mountain Brothers will be performing at all three venues with a special appearance by Emm Gryner at USC. Due, in part, to AsianAvenue.com's aggressive CD initiative, both musical groups have enjoyed great success. KAI is a five-member pop vocal group from the Bay Area weaned on a cappella singing. Formed in 1992 and comprised of four Filipino Americans and one Chinese American, KAI achieved major milestones for Asian American musicians by landing a recording deal with Geffen Records and having a top-selling single with "Say You'll Stay." The Mountain Brothers, formed in 1993, are a 3-man hip-hop group based in Philadelphia. They bring a unique viewpoint to their music by speaking to important issues yet to be represented in hip-hop. The emphasis is on creativity and original music without sampling. This triumvirate has been well-received by the underground hip-hop community culminating with the success of their single "Paperchase" b/w "5 Elements" which broke into the CMJ Top 40 rap charts.

Seriously, does anyone find it irritating that pretty much all of the artists on that Asian Avenue CD are R&B artists? I mean, COME ON... there have got to be other non-hip-hop Asian artists out there besides Emm. How about Shonen Knife? hahahahahaha :-) - - Julian [ Julian C.

Hey.. I know there's lots of smart people on this list so hopefully one of you can help me out.. I'm using Microsoft Publisher to make a web page for my friend, and it's a great program, real easy to use.. except when I preview it, the alignment gets all weird. It all crams over to the left side for some reason. Anyway, I have no clue how to fix it, so if anyone here knows some tricks, please email me 'cause I really don't want to resort to doing all the HTML myself... call me lazy these days, but I have it almost all done, this is the only problem I'm having, so I really don't want to start over.

I wrote an article a few months ago, about Emm and touched on the sad state of "Asian Music". But whatever, music is music.
