Hey my name's Abbie Huxley. How did we get started on this? Well... I ran into producer/drummer Donnie Boutwell at his studio thru a Myspace ad that said Open House Party-Free Beer. That night as the party was winding down, I dropped off my self-produced e.p. Pop[R.E.D.].
Out of over 18,000 songs, three of my tracks from Pop[R.E.D.] had broken the Top Ten on Garageband.com's All-Time Alternative chart with both Quicksilver and Humble Pie going to 1 and Luvsik going to 7. Also, both Quicksilver and Humble Pie were distinguished as Tracks of the Week and Tracks of the Day. This is all based on listener reviews. Garageband.com is an indie music site which boasts thirteen of its top ranking artists being signed to major labels and was named by Time Magazine as one of the 50 Best Websites.
Using the E.P. as a "blueprint" Donnie and I re-recorded 4 songs from Pop[R.E.D.], Quicksilver, For Me, Humble Pie, Luvsik and a new song; You Oughta Know.
I ran into bass player Jonathan Nesta when I needed somebody to fill in for an upcoming show. As soon as I heard Jonathan play I knew I'd never need to call my old bass player back. Not long after that Donnie started playing drums. Jonathan and Donnie are genius players with great ideas and most of the time I feel like Im the one trying to keep up.
My current material reflects my roots as far as Jeff Buckley and Elliott Smith but not the guitar rock of artists like Van Halen and Def Leppard and AC/DC. These days I listen to everything from Bob Dylan to Rob Zombie and I havent felt like I've recorded a record that really reflects the full scope of what Im influenced by so Im really amped up about making a new kick-ass rock record. This is a departure from my previous alternative/folk/rock productions in that the majority of songs are up-tempo with big guitars and keyboards. Think NIN meets Scissor Sisters and you'll have an idea.
"We're REALLY picky about what goes on the front page... and Pop[R.E.D.] is one of the best cd's I've ever heard"---Derek Sivers, President/CEO of CD Baby
"It is a rare occurrence when an artist reaches out and takes the listener on a magnificent aural journey that completely satisfies the soul. Abbie Huxley is one of those rare individuals. Pop[R.E.D.] is nothing short of spectacular. It is almost impossible not to hit replay after each song."---Yer Mama's Guide to Internet Music
"Abbie Huxley's album, 'Pop[R.E.D.]', strikes a haunting and mournful chord...Huxley wails with about as much passion as one could possibly express...beautiful melodies with lyrics that will make you stop in your tracks..."---CD Baby.com review
"Effulgent, hypnotic, passionate! If you hear the CD then you have to see this guy live. He has a raw brooding power that pulls you in with "Lovesick" and "For Me". Then, you are sent to some place you had never examined within yourself. This is what art is about."- Elaina
"Pop[R.E.D.] seems to draw on a ton of different sounds. Imagine a blender if you will, throw in some Radiohead, maybe a pinch of lounge, handfuls of retro staples, and acoustic guitar trimmings similar to my beloved Elliott Smith. But don't be fooled, Abbie Huxley is a completely original sound"- Mat Wisner, The Daily Grind

Hi there! How are you? We appreciate your friendship! ARTS Publications has created this MySpace site to keep Layne Staley's fans updated on the making of the Get Born Again movie. Actor to play Layne Staley's character is "Lathan McKay". A very special role has been designated to "Cara Mastrey" as Ghost Demri. "Elise Muller" as Liz Elmer. We can't reveal the entire cast now. Please be patient. We have selected a number of bands for the movie, they are: "INK" from Greece providing two soundtracks and singer Chris Tsantalis for a scene. "Motherwiser" from Buenos Aires, Argentina for one scene. "Khaos Theory" from Chicago, IL providing two soundtracks. Singer Aaron Barrera of Murder My Sweet a band from Austin, TX for a scene. This biopic is being made in a very independent way. We are fully determined to do it. We won't allow any brainwashed Hollywood clown to make fun of Layne's story or put him only in a "junkie" spotlight. We spent enough time trying to explain what the movie is about. It was all in vain. We have sadly learned that for Hollywood Layne Staley is another overdosed rock star. They don’t want to show him differently or should we say…they don’t want you to see the real side of the story. This is one of the main reasons why we have delayed the movie development process. Now, we have found the right people to work with. They like the story concept and fully respect our decisions. We assure fans the following: "RESPECT AND LOVE FOR LAYNE STALEY ARE OUR TOP PRIORITIES" Thank you all for your support. LONG LIVE LAYNE STALEY!
