The trio take a break from filming the video for D A n g e lo ’s debut single, “Brown Sugar". Green Apple Quick Step Forget everything you know, or think you know, about Green Apple quick Step. For that matter, forget what you think a follow-up album should sound like. With their second LP, Green Apple Quick Step have declared war on preconceptions, and for good reason. In three years of touring and recording, the band has been through superior highs and crushing lows. They've learned first hand howto roll with both the punch es and the flows. The LP is called Reloaded, and the title suggests a hard fought battle, a smoking gun, and a quick re-charge to get back into the action. “W e’re reloaded in every sense of the word" notes GAQS bassist Mari Anne Braeden “we get to go out and assault the public again, reloaded with a bunch of new songs."

"the Breakup Song" and “Lucky.” But few o f his fans realize he started his career as a folk-singer, which is why his new acoustic-ori ented Mutiny album represents a re turn to his roots. “Rock'n'roll is always great fun, but as this point it’s also nice to present music where the melody is as important as the beat and people can really concentrate on the lyrics," says Kihn. After 14 previous albums, a tro phy case full of BAMMIES, numer ous videos on MTV and VH-I, ap pearances on countless TV shows including “Saturday Night Live,” a song Bruce Springsteen wrote for him, and a history o f puns. Greg K ihn’s Mutiny (on Clean Cuts Records) will catch quite a few lis teners by surprise. The album's eclectic acoustic mix includes a sea chantey (Richard Farina's "Blood Red Roses"), the blues(“Sittin'on Top of the World"), beautiful ballads and story songs(Eric Von Schmidt's "Joshua Gone Bar bados" and E llio tt M u rp h y ’s EMI Recording artist JOI, is flanked b y “Panther" director, Mario (“P o sse, “N ew Ja ck C ity”) Van P ee b les (left) a n d su p er p roducer Dallas (B oyz II Men, Madonna, TLC) Austin, the trio take a brea k from com pleting the so n g “F reedom " from the upcom ing film, “P anther”, Produced b y Dallas a n d originally perform ed b y Joi, the so n g h a s b e e n m odified to a cco m m o d a te an All-Star, All-female R&B chorus. “P anther” o p en s M ay 5.
