GARY BARDEN
We are very proud to present from London, Mr. Gary John Barden
as the first publishing artist on and managed by A-Minor Records.
G. Barden got well known when he successfully fronted the Michael
Schenker Group (MSG) on albums like ‚The Michael Schenker Group‘
(1980), ‚MSG‘ (1981), ‚Built to Destroy‘ (1983), ‚Rock Will Never Die‘
(1984) and of course on the one every rocker on this planet is familiar
with: ‚One Night at Budokan‘ (1981), After MSG he formed Statetrooper,
worked with Michael Voss for 5 albums on the Silver project - and forced
his solo-carrier - the both albums were produced by M. Voss: ‚The Agony
& Xtasy‘ (2006) and‘ Love and War‘ (2007). Publishing artist Gary Barden
is part of the A-Minor team with his contributions to the new album of the
Michael Schenker Group (MSG), called ‚In the Midst of Beauty‘ (2008).
Gary Barden was touring Europe and Japan with MSG this year.
In autumn 08, Schenker/Barden‘s fi rst acoustic show of the year will
happen at Carling Academy in Newcastle, on the 12th of October -
supporting the Scorpions. - More to come!

ROSA E. HAAS
The Italian lyricist and poetess Rosa E. Haas is the fi rst female
publishing artist for A-Minor Records & Publishing.
Since her collaboration for a couple of remittance works in
2005 with the Swiss producer & singer/songwriter Holggy Begg,
they‘ve managed to deepen their team-work. A fi rst outcome
you‘ll hear on the second BEGGAR‘S BRIDE album ‚unwired
under cover‘ (2008): two songs base upon Rosa‘s lyrics.
More of Rosa‘s poems set to music will be on the next album
of Beggar‘s Bride, following in spring 2009. - For Rosa E.
Haas (a member of SUISA) the special challenge in writing
lyrics is to condense a text into lyrics and to fi nally regain her
words in a piece of art, which emphasises the atmosphere of
the particular topic. Needless to say, the songs she works with
must be of specifi c artistic merit. At a later date, A-Minor will
publish a choice of her poems backed-up with some great
peace of music. - Stay tuned for more.
