John Vanderslice

John Vanderslice (born May 22, 1967 in Gainesville, Florida) is an American musician, formerly of MK Ultra but now performing with his own band. After mk Ultra broke up in 1999, Vanderslice wasted little time building a solo reputation. In 2000, he gained national media attention over his single Bill Gates Must Die after concocting an elaborate hoax in which Microsoft supposedly threatened legal action over supposed trademark violations (the disc had a similar etching to a Windows installation disc).

The Brights

The Brights formed in Febuary 2003. Since the band formed they have made a big impact, playing gigs around the country, and in particular on the London music scene. After circulating several copies of their first demo 'Mother, I Don't Belong Here', recognition quickly followed. This led to the bands first release; 'Girl in a Bric-a-Brac Shop' in October 2004 on the independent label Bitterscene Records, which received airplay on Radio 1 by the late John Peel and on Xfm, as well as several other regional stations.
