We are so proud of him, Monte and the rest of his band. Zodiac's Lee and Scarlett Cherry, Allan Louis, Charlie Brumbly, were there with bells on. Go Adam!

Zodiacer, Monte Pittman's solo album debut on CD BABY

2009-12-03T16:55:00.000-08:00

By Lee Cherry

Monte Pittman is a Zodiacer from way back. We originally met him in the Freedom Party days when he was Madonna and Prong's guitarist. He joined Zodiac in the The Key Club days and continued on through to The Henry Fonda Shows in 2005. That's where he first worked with the now infamous Adam Lambert. They continued to work together on many projects since then, including their own band, The Citizen Vein, and now Monte's the lead guitarist in Adam's chart-topping new band and is having a great time. Monte has recently released a solo acoustic album called "The Deepest Dark" and we encourage everyone to pick up a copy! It has a haunting, epic feel that conjures up memories of Syd Barret, Blue Oyster Cult and Pink Floyd in the "Animals" Era. Go Monte!!

ADAM LAMBERT'S 'FOR YOUR ENTERTAINMENT' DEBUTS AT #3

2009-12-02T10:50:00.000-08:00

Source: adamofficial.com
(Los Angeles, CA – December 2nd, 2009) With his out-of-this-world vocal range and unique musical style, Adam Lambert's album For Your Entertainment (19 Recordings/RCA) debut's at #3 on the Billboard Charts with 198,469 albums sold.

People Magazine proclaimed that "The season 8 runner-up wins the battle that really counts with a confident, I-know-who-I-am display of glam pop-rock." Rolling Stone called For Your Entertainment, "Supercatchy glam rock with an electro-pop edge" and Spin Magazine said "...Lambert's polymorphous vocal skills unite dancefloor strut and hard-rock pomp in a convincing glam package."

Millions of fans watched Lambert's stunning performances on the eighth season of "American Idol" and have since been tuning in to see his spectacular televised performances.

Moving into the holiday season, Adam will be performing "Whataya Want From Me" co-written by P!nk, along with Sweden's Max Martin and Johan Shellback,on upcoming television programs such as The Tonight Show With Conan O'Brien and The Jay Leno Show. Additionally, Adam will be interviewed on Barbara Walter's 10 Most Fascinating People.

The AMA's. Zodiacers everywhere!

2009-11-23T08:53:00.000-08:00

By Lee Cherry
So, yes...Adam's performance was the controversy of the night and everyone's talking about it. Opinions are being tossed around like a stripper at a bachelor party, but no matter what anyone says. Here's a fact...one year ago, almost to the day, we saw Adam perform one of his original songs at an underground club in downtown LA, just trying to get his music out and be seen. Now he's closing the AMA's, has a hit album dropping (created in collaboration with the best songwriters/producers in the world)...all while staying true to his artistic integrity. This has happened because of the moves he's made. He is an artist on a journey, holding nothing back. We applaud and support him, and love watching him evolve without apology right before our eyes!
In addition to Adam having several Zodiacers (Monte Pittman, Denna Thomsen, Nina Mcneely, Austin Westbay, Noel Bujandas) in his performance, there were also Zodiacers in Lady GaGa (Brian London, Asiel Hardison), Janet Jackson (Taja Riley), Alicia Keys (Sonny Walters, Flii Stylz) and Carrie Underwood (Michele Martinez).

Adam's debut album "For Your Entertainment" is available everywhere. Buy it today!

Carmit Bachar performs on Dancing With The Stars!

2009-11-16T07:28:00.000-08:00

Q&A with Carmit Bachar by Lee Cherry

1. Where did you just come back from and what did you do there? I just got back from Hong Kong where I performed for an Operation Smile event that raised over 1 million US$....I’m very proud :)
2. What are you working on right now? On Tuesday, 11/17 I’ll be on Dancing With The Stars. I’m dancing in a piece from the upcoming movie “Nine” directed by Rob Marshall. You can also check my recent performance from Pop Goes The World on Youtube or carmitbachar.net.

3. I hear you have new management..Tell us about it. I recently started working with Wendy Goldstein at Omerta Mananagemt. She has been one of the top A&R's in the industry for over a decade and a powerful woman. I'm excited to be making moves with her.
5. Will you be performing your new music the next Zodiac? I will absolutely be performing new music in the next Zodiac and looking forward to it!!

6. When's the next Zodiac and what are the plans for the brand? We're looking at early next year for another Zodiac spectacular!!! A lot of new exciting things are always in the works for Zodiac. There are so many pieces to the puzzle so we shall be ever evolving! 2010 promises to be amazing!!

7. You are always doing a million things. How do you keep up with yourself and coordinate it all? Honestly, I don't know how I do it myself?! Especially when I have the flu right smack in the middle of it all!! Somehow, I have it that it always works out....so it does! I'm a Virgo and we can be super focused in the chaos, as long as we take it one step at a time. I do work best under pressure tho;) Staying present keeps me motivated. I want the best, so if I give it my all there are no regrets and u gotta keep moving forward!!
8. Do you have anything you'd like to say to your young fans who know you from PCD and are looking to break into the dance/music industry? I'm inspired by how inspired the fans get from the music, dance moves and style! What I can tell the fans is to never be idle...then you are in your head about what it is you want to do instead of doing it!! Be creative, the more you engage in actually doing whatever it is you love, the better you get at it!! And I promise you wont be bored either;)
