Pennsylvania are up at:

What a great night -

All across the U.S. - people interested in performing at or creating future PRIDE IN THE POLLS events & programs for the 2004 TAKE BACK AMERICA GLBT vote should contact their local DNC's office of GLBT Outreach and/or GLBT Caucus of the College Democrats of America — a nationwide effort designed to educate and register thousands of new GLBT voters.

And remember - GLBT Pride Festivals, which attract hundreds of thousands of GLBT- receptive voters each year, have proved to be one of the most effective venues for reaching GLBT voters.

"Thanks to all who worked so hard and contributed their talents to make the first Pride At The Polls Party such a HUGE success! 
All goals were exceeded  and there was incredible turn out, lots of new faces to Rainbow Mountain (and it's been discovered that party-goers loved the red, white and blue shots!!)  Many new voters were registered  and funds were raised for the Kerry campaign. All came together in a great party atmosphere where we realized we can make a difference!" (In around a week there'll be some great photos of the event posted on the www.roberturban.com website)

URBAN PRODUCTIONS Press Release
Sept 1, 2003 - NYC
"DAS HAUSE" & "DEAD GUYS"  - GLBT films with soundtracks by GLBT artists GLBT musical artists may remember a call I put out late last year for songs to feature in an upcoming new gay vampire/haunted house film "DAS HAUSE".
Am pleased to announce - the film DAS HAUSE (Dove Productions/THR Productions) is finished & in post production - with a planned release on both DVD and VHS this fall. All the movie's music is by glbt artists.
DAS HAUSE Musical Direction by ROBERT URBAN Instrumental Film Score composed, performed & orchestrated by ROBERT URBAN
The film also features songs by: *V*I*R*G*O* - "You Suck", "Parasite", "Soul Disease" STEVE SANDBERG - "Dick Radio" RODGER RAINO - "Vampire Eyes"
DAS HAUSE is a taut and clever story of what happens when three teams of young guys accept the challenge to spend a weekend at a sprawling beach house known for its twisted and dark history. The challenge has been offered by a European television network who are trying to cash in on the reality based TV craze and break into the "American" market creating a low ball reality show called Das Haus. The guys challenges of horrific nightmares, hallucinations and visions of their own deaths cause dissension and mistrust among the players. A series of violent confrontations reveal the true nature of the Europeans twisted plot and reality TV gets all too real and all too bloody.
More info on DAS HAUSE glbt musical artists and soundtrack at: http://www.roberturban.com/haus.html

Thanks to all the media & fans who've aired, downloaded or requested "WAITING FOR ROME TO FALL" - the new Robert Urban black comedy, anti-war rock/industrial crossover single - the perfect sonic cocktail to accompany humanity's
current downward spiral into militaristic insanity.

Special thanks to Danny's Outvoice & Len's StoneWall Society. Posting our free web release on their lists brought an avalanche of responses.

We've now replaced the board mix of "Rome" that's been online with the new, finished mastered version - sounds awesome!

"what a wonderfully-produced and great-sounding track!"
- GREG GORDON, Coordinating Producer,"This Way Out",
Los Angeles, CA

"Nice work!  I find it delightful that there seems to be a new wave of politically aware music hitting the airwaves of the country.  Yours is a terrific contribution. Peace". BOB YOUNG, "Uncle Bob's Electronic Digital Playland", American Radio Network

"Sounds like Ziggy Stardust goes AWOL and takes refuge at Eno's house! You've got a great sound on this one, nice guitar work" - RICK RAY, Neurosis Records

"Congratulations on the new single - A great track, and very timely. I really love to hear artists using their talent to say something meaningful.
Thanks for that!" - *V*I*R*G*O

"YOLANDA tore into his star cameo vocals like Mahalia Jackson on Ecstasy. He's a veritable one-man girl group.  No who hears "Rome" can believe it's just one human singing all those parts!... When I first heard WOLFGANG BUSCH's speaking voice, I knew it held great potential for studio voiceover work, but his crafty word-stylings on "Rome" far exceeded all my expectations" - ROBERT URBAN, producer 

"WAITING FOR ROME TO FALL"
ROBERT URBAN - lyrics, vocals, guitars & sounds
TOM O'NEILL - synths, programming & fx
MARK VOLLENWEIDER - drums & percussion
YOLANDA - gospel choir vocals
WOLFGANG BUSCH - "sprechstimme rap"
