New Reality TV Series Proves You Are Never
Too Old To Get The Band Back Together!

Old Bridge, New Jersey – February 7, 2012 – The Primetime Emmy Award-Winning Production Company, *Pipeline39 Entertainment, held casting auditions for local musicians to find that one lucky band to star in a pilot for their upcoming reality TV show, tentatively titled, Getting The Band Back Together, which will be based out of Central New Jersey.

DEMO LINK: “Getting The Band Back Together”

This newly created reality TV series is currently being pitched to major networks. It captures aspects of Rock ‘N’ Roll Fantasy Camp meets American Chopper all the while enlisting musicians who actually have successful careers and family life by day and become closet “rock stars” at night. The main focus will be on a chosen band, how they juggle “real life”, and how they handle a “second chance” at their dream of becoming rock stars.

The band selected for the reality series pilot is a local New Jersey band called Cashmier. Back in the ‘80s, Cashmier was one of the top bands on the circuit sharing the stages with bands like The Ramones, Anthrax, Twisted Sister, White Lion, Jackyl, Riot, Overkill and many more. Living the dream does not always last forever. They had a good run at the top before splitting up and giving up on their chance at being real life “rock stars” by getting married, having kids, and establishing full-time careers. Years later and after being invited to play a reunion show, the guys from Cashmier decided to take another stab at it. What can possibly happen when family life and careers have become priority and a renewed opportunity is given to these musicians to get the band back together for a second shot at “the dream”?

Why Aarius Studios?

 
The pilot’s “main hub” for the musicians being spotlighted is a state-of-the-art rehearsal and recording facility called Aarius Studios, located in the heart of Central New Jersey. The bands selected will be given a full makeover – from recording, to promotions, to management – all courtesy of Aarius Studios! For years, Joe and Crystal Cattano nurtured a dream of creating a state-of-the-art music studio. They recognized a need for a place where dedicated musicians could hone their craft in a professional atmosphere; a place that is aesthetically pleasing to all the senses. That vision became a reality with the advent of Aarius Studios; a clean, multi-room rehearsal facility that includes affordable, full multi-track recording capabilities and top-of-the-line equipment. Today, Aarius Studios is the rehearsal and recording studio of choice for musicians encompassing the tri-state area. They have attracted musical superstars such as Biohazard, Black Label Society, Blondie, Corey Glover, Glen Burtnik, Lizzy Borden, Mindflow, and Tantric, just to name a few, who have utilized the studio.

AARIUS STUDIOS - ANNUAL OPEN HOUSE

Music To Benefit Animals - FUNDRAISER

Music to Benefit Animals - FUNDRAISER

Old Bridge

AARIUS Studios owners, Joe and Crystal Cattano, decided this year’s Annual Studio Open House would include a fundraiser for AHS because of the wonderful experience they had while adopting their mixed-breed pup “Petey McSweety.” No sooner said than done, JZ Guitars™ offered their custom Mac10 as an incentive to raise donations.  The Mac10 is hand-crafted from Honduras mahogany, detailed with a zebrawood top, and finished in a transparent orange gloss.  This is a MUST HAVE for any guitar enthusiast or performer. AARIUS Studios and JZ Guitars™ very much appreciate AHS’s mission and are grateful for the opportunity to give back to this organization that has given so much to others. 

With the idea in place, the players came together.  AARIUS Studios hosted the event at their 6,000 square foot music facility in Old Bridge, NJ. JZ Guitars™ brought an assortment of hand-made custom guitars that were showcased and available to try out. Sandi Murphy of GoLightly Photography shot the entire event. WWP provided promotional material and support for the event.

Why did we select the Associated Humane Societies? Our first-hand experience with AHS has proven that this not-for-profit, 501 (c) 3 organization prides itself on their dedication and devotion to the thousands of animals that come to them annually, as well as providing them the chance for a better life.  Every donation has an immediate, positive impact which allows AHS to consistently provide the highest quality care to all animals, domestic and in the wild.  Their services include but are not limited to animal rescue, housing, veterinary care, placement whenever possible, and when required, a peaceful end.  AARIUS Studios’ commitment to this worthy cause will continue as we work towards achieving our fundraiser goal.  

Those who donate $20 to the AHS fundraiser will be entered into the sweepstakes for the above mentioned hand-made, custom guitar by JZ Guitars™. We will continue to accept donations for the sweepstakes until 8:00 p.m. on July 29, 2011, at which time some lucky winner is going to own a custom Mac10!  So join us at AARIUS Studios July 29^th at 8:00 PM for your chance to win!
