 Periphery, who released their fifth album Periphery III: Select Difficulty in July, have partnered with DC-based Vigilante Coffee Company for a special limited edition coffee, dubbed “Flatline” (a reference to the song of the same name). “Being the coffee junkies that we are, the band and I jumped at the opportunity to develop and release our own branded coffee with Vigilante, who kept us over-caffeinated for the Periphery III recoding sessions,” explains guitar player Mark Holcomb. “When we saw what Vigilante founder Chris Vigilante was doing and tasted the coffee they were brewing, we were floored; it was easily the best coffee I had tried in my years of living in D.C., and the band made it our go-to coffee spot. This past winter, Chris invited us into the shop for a lengthy tasting where we sampled over a dozen coffees and picked what would become “Flatline” coffee. Aside from being excited to release such a great coffee, we’re also proud to say that a portion of the proceeds from sales of this coffee are going directly to Ecuador’s earthquake emergency relief for the 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Ecuador in April 2016.“ Bags of “Flatline” coffee are available now via Periphery’s webstore (Periphery.net). The coffee is described as featuring chocolate notes and a lasting mouthfeel. As it cools, its creaminess is almost chewy, with delicate earthy and toasty notes. The beans come from the Rio Intag valley of Ecuador, which, while spared a direct impact from the April earthquake, the coastal areas of the country have been deeply affected. A portion of all sales will be directed to the Catholic Relief Services, earmarked for Ecuador Earthquake Relief. “The motivation behind this collaboration was simply to share something cool with the fans of Periphery and make a positive impact on the coffee world,” said Vigilante Coffee Company. “The rock stars of this coffee are the farmers and we're grateful to share their passion for growing great coffee with the passionate fans of Periphery and the passionate coffee lovers of Vigilante Coffee.” www.facebook.com/peripheryband www.twitter.com/peripheryband instagram.com/periphery www.periphery.net

She was 56. Having worked with a long list of music giants that includes The Killers, Echo and The Bunnymen, and Guided by Voices, Gelineau recently joined forces with industry vets Erik Koral and Andrea Young to co-manage The MuseBox, resulting in what is now The Koral Young Group. Nadine’s far-reaching music career began in Ottawa, Canada as a DJ at CKCU. She started The MuseBox in 2006, with offices located in New York, Los Angeles, and Ottawa. Her many reputable clients included The Neighbourhood, Echo and The Bunnymen, and The Human League. With an unparalleled passion for music, Gelineau helped promote hundreds of independent artists while making life-long friends with musicians and colleagues. All who encountered Nadine were impressed by her business acumen, sharp wit, and kind spirit. In January of 2016, Nadine was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer. A GoFundMe campaign on her behalf quickly raised $65,000 by devoted friends, associates, and artists. Coupled with an enthusiastic support group on Facebook, it became clear that countless lives had been touched by Gelineau throughout her long and storied career. In February of 2016, Gelineau brought in Chief Marketing Officer Koral and Chief Operating Officer Young to co-manage The MuseBox while she received treatment for her cancer. Koral and Young anticipated working alongside Gelineau during and after her treatment, but Gelineau’s health soon took a turn for the worse and she was rushed to Kaiser Permanente Hospital in Hollywood. Within a few days of being admitted, Nadine was moved to the ICU, where she remained until passing away peacefully. Both Koral and Young hope to honour Gelineau by continuing The MuseBox’s legacy. Koral was “completely flattered” when Gelineau asked him to help run her company. Young, meanwhile, had long admired Gelineau’s “fierce and ferocious commitment to artist development.” In the final weeks of Gelineau’s life, her family gave Koral and Young their blessing to continue Gelineau’s work through The Koral Young Group. |
