The Hooks, Vinnie Zummo and Cirrone Interviews on The Time Machine

Singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Vinnie Zummo was a guest on The Time Machine last week along with sibling musical acts The Hooks and Cirrone. The Hooks hail from Florida where the power and strength of Nick, Raleigh, Maggie and Nick shine through on their self titled debut. They're currently climbing the airplay charts across America with their single "Comin After Your Love". Instead of four family members, Cirrone is a trio of brothers from Italy whose latest release "Uplands Park Road" has been gaining critical praise around the globe. In addition to his extensive music for film and television, Vinnie Zummo also worked with Joe Jackson on many of his albums and tours.












Other new songs from artists heard on this Maui afternoon FM aircheck include Rachael Yamagata, Jason Mraz, Bruce Springsteen & The E Street Band, Imelda May, Islands and Bonnie Raitt's new take on Gerry Rafferty's classic "Right Down The Line".

Ian Lloyd Interview on The Time Machine

Rocker Ian Lloyd was a guest on The Time Machine last week. From the band Stories that gave the seventies one of the coolest radio hits ("Brother Louie") to his solo career and numerous projects including Social Hero, Ian had never recorded a Christmas song. The Maui FM dial was treated to the first official Christmas song of the season (And a week before Halloween - a first for The Time Machine). In addition to sharing the new rocking yuletide song "Everybody's Happy 'Cause It's Christmas Time", Ian also discussed his musical career.


Brand new songs were also featured from Vinnie Zummo ("Didn't Get The Memo"), Tam Duong ("In The Elevator"), John Hunter Phillips (Dennis, Carl, Alan, Brian, Bruce and Mike") Strangefinger ("I Feel Fine") plus Sara Bareilles, The Wellingtons, Michelle Branch and The Outfield. Other artists featured on this Maui afternoon FM radio aircheck include; The Pendletons, Jack Johnson, The Donnas, Bo Donaldson & The Heywoods, Pez Band, Dion and Social Hero. Since most of The Time Machine's airchecks over the last few decades were courtesy of TDK and Maxell, it was only proper to include Ian Lloyd's appearance in the TDK advertisement seen above.
