Updated Show List.

Friday, September 21st, 2007

Exposé just added several shows! I am including the latest list, leaving out the few not open to the general public

• October 13, 2007: Tuscon Pride Tucson, Arizona
• October 26, 2007: The Wetbar, Atlanta, Georgia
• November 3-4, 2007 Mohegan Sun Hotel & Casino, Uncasville, Connecticut
  
• This is a Full Set with the band!
• November 28-30, 2007: Disney World's Epcott Center, Orlando, Florida
• December 1st, 2007: Voodoo Lounge, Fort Lauderdale, Florida

More Exposé Shows, and news about Gioia's upcoming music video.

Thursday, September 13, 2007

Okay, a few important things to tell people.

Gioia has been recording her new video in Fort Lauderdale at the Voodoo Lounge. You can read up on some blog entries of people writing it. An actress named Cristy Joy gives it a little plug, as well as Gioia's friend Breezy.

More importantly, if you are in the South Florida area on Tuesday, they are filming a scene outdoors, a line to get into a club for the video. If you would like to be in the video as an (unpaid) extra, Fandango Pictures (the video company producing/directing the video) need people dressed in clothes that you'd wear to a popular nightclub, and they need as many extras as possible, so bring your friends if you are available. Gioia will be filming her scenes outside. (Please note that this isn't a concert or anything like that, she's not performing, it's a video shoot). The filming will take place at 7:45PM on Tuesday August 18th, at 111 SW 2nd Ave Fort Lauderdale FL.

Finally, there have been a few new Exposé shows not added yet to the official site. I can confirm that the Voodoo Lounge will be having an Exposé show on December 1st, and there's apparently a show scheduled on October 26th at the Wetbar in Atlanta GA. I don't know more details yet, but I'm sure it will be added to the official site soon.

New Podcast Interview with Gioia

Saturday, September 8, 2007

There's a new audio interview that Gioia did with International Artists Debut Radio. You can listen to the podcast here. (Note, there's a quick interview with another person for the first 5 minutes.)

Gioia Recording Music Video for Higher, New Album in October

Wednesday, September 5, 2007

Gioia has been extremely busy. She has been working on a music video this week for her new single, which is being released on Harlequin Records this October. The video is of her remake of Your Love is Lifting me Higher. It is being produced by Ramiro Hernandez of Fandango Films, is supposed to be an "edgy, concept video", and will also be contain in-video appearances by DJ Tracy Young (one of the remixers), model/actor Scott Jenkins and fashion designer Jimmy Starr in a cameo role

Remixers for this single will include: Tracy Young, Almighty, Klubjumpers, DJ Dean Chronic with Dozia and DJ Dena Cucci.

Additionally, apparently she is working on a new album, so we should likely see that sometime next year. She plans to continue to tour with Exposé.

As a bonus, here is a clip just released to YouTube, not of the produced video but of her performing at something called "The Black Party".

A few more Photo Albums

Sunday, August 12, 2007

Here are a few more photo albums from the Net.

• DJ Angel's pics of the group (and others) at their first reunion show in Miami in October, 2006
• FrenchDel's photos from Columbus Pride, which are about 85% of Exposé
• Kyle's Photos from Palmdale. Note, I will be adding these to my revised gallery soon.

Gioia's Latest Personal Projects

Friday, August 10, 2007

Gioia's got some interesting announcements, which she posted in her latest Blog entry. To summarize, she's working on new music, and will release a new dance single, a cover of "Your Love Is Lifting Me Higher." It will be out as an EP on September from Harlequin Records, and will feature remixes from Josh Harris, Lewis Martinee', Almighty, The Perry Twins and DJ Dean Chronic.

She is also releasing rare tracks on SnoCap, and you can view her store here. Please visit it, this supports Gioia directly. Note, this store requires flash. I've embedded it below.

News Article Featuring Exposé

Monday, July 30, 2007

The Baltimore Sun has an interesting article about band reunions, and a few paragraphs talk about Exposé, with some nice Jeanette Jurado quotes. The Full Article talks about the Police, Van Hallen, and a few other bands. But the part refering to Exposé appears below.

Relationships that weathered the trials of adolescence can strain under the tension of performing. Reunion tours have been a crucible for acrimony between Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel, who have given performances in which they've barely acknowledged each other.

But take the lesson of Expose, the multi-platinum '80s dance-pop trio whose hits included "Let Me Be the One" and "Point of No Return."

The original members—Ann Curless, Gioia Bruno and Jeanette Jurado—reunited last year. They had disbanded in 1996 after a dark period of infighting, disputes with producers and the disgrace of being dropped from their label, Arista Records.

"There's a lot of water under the bridge now, as they say," says Jurado, who sang lead on Expose's biggest hit, 1988's "Seasons Change." Since the band's split, she has lived quietly in Nevada with her husband and two children, ages 5 and 7.

"I think now we understand that being in a group is a lot like a marriage. We all have different personalities. It's hard work to keep it going.

"But you do it all for the music. When you hit the stage, that chemistry you have with each other, it makes it work. You have to want to make it work."

YouTube Clip from Tampa

Sunday, July 22, 2007

A short YouTube Clip from Tampa's show (Season's Change) is on-line now.

The clip is "cell-phone quality". I can't tell if any sound was added post-production. It looks like there was some song synchronization problems, it seems like a cue was missed, but they get back on track quickly.

More YouTube Videos from Palmdale

Wednesday, July 18, 2007

Only one more video today, but it's a great one and I'll embed this one, the full Let Me Be The One from Palmdale.

Gioia's in great form here. Thanks to KIM for posting this!

More YouTube Videos from Palmdale

Wednesday, July 18, 2007

These are cell phone quality—as the user admits says they aren't very good, but they have at semi-decent audio from the show of songs not covered by our other recorders. If you haven't been to the page in a while, scroll down to see the better videos.

In the age of the Internet and social networking, it's amazing how quickly new stuff can get posted!

Kelly Moneymaker Interview Up

Saturday, July 14, 2007

Well, some of you are going to be at the big show tonight. Sadly, I'm not one of them.

But, I decided to not wait for my Blog software and I decided to post the Kelly Moneymaker Interview! Enjoy!

A Cute Mini-Interview/Video

Friday, July 13, 2007

I found a very cute interview done by comedian Maria Gomez with Exposé. This clip was pretty entertaining. I loved the pregnacy talk, the little backstage banter, and especially them hanging out in an A&W fast food joint.

Major Updates.

Wednesday, July 11, 2007

Lot's of updates.

An interview with Kelly Moneymaker has been completed and will be posted in the next few weeks. I'm trying to roll out the blog and gallery software at the same time. Kelly also plans to put a special dance remix of her song "Can't Live Without Your Love" on her MySpace page.

This weekend is the big appearance at Palmdale, CA. It's a free outdoor concert, and this will contain the full band set.

I wanted to give you guys several links to some photos and videos the fans have taken.

Jeanette's got a new song, a few other updates.

Thursday, May 31, 2007

Jeanette Jurado has just posted a new song to her MySpace page. It is a song she did with Los Lobos called Suavecito, which is a remake of a song originally recorded by a group called Malo in 1971.

I am working on getting interviews with Kelly Moneymaker and Jeanette Jurado, it's just a matter of co-ordinating schedules.

Gioia's New Interview, Kelly's Appearance.

Sunday, February 11, 2007

Once again, erased a few entries, so I need to fix it. Grrr...

Gioia Bruno has a new Interview at About.com regarding the Exposé Reunion.

Kelly Moneymaker just performed at at Genghis Cohen in Califorina last Friday night, performing with Herman Matthews, Jen Leigh and Shane Jordan. She said the event went well.

Five 2007 Shows Added

Monday, January 15, 2007
Updated January 28, 2007

Exposé's first shows of 2007 have been scheduled, starting in April. Here are the details

• Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, CT; April 14, 2007: This appearance is billed as Freestyle Explosion II, and would be similar to the Miami Arena appearance. There are a lot of acts on the bill, so Exposé may only be doing a smaller set without a backing band. Tickets are onsale now at Ticketmaster. Confirmed, 20 minute track set.
• Madison Square Garden, NYC, NY; April 27 (or 28), 2007: This should be the same type of show as above. Confirmed, 20 minute track set.
• UCF Arena, Orlando, FL; May 12, 2007: This should be the same type of show as above. Confirmed, 20 minute track set.
• Parliment House (Gay Days Event), Orlando, FL; June 3, 2007: This is an all-gay resort with some nightclubs, and I don't know much about the event, so I don't know what type of show they'd do, or if it's an event with other acts on the bill. Confirmed, 30 minute set.
• Marie Kerr Park, Palmdale, CA; July 14, 2007: I'm not sure what type of show this would be. Confirmed, Full Band Show!

It is still very early in the year, so I believe several more concerts will be worked out. But don't miss a chance to see them either.

Neat Exposé YouTube Clips

Saturday, January 6, 2007

Exposé's New Year's Eve appearance at the Emerald Queen Casino in Tacoma, Washington was recorded by "MadPat", and here's a taste of what you'll get to see in the coming months.

Also, the remix video of Point of No Return is also up on YouTube at the following link
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c1tPyATrvE

A Little Bonus Update

Friday, December 29, 2006

If you've never seen Jeanette Jurado's appearance in My Family singing Angel Baby, here it is, thanks to YouTube.

Holiday Update

Saturday, December 23, 2006

Kelly Moneymaker has posted a new original Holiday song recorded from a live performance she did. Please checkout her MySpace page for more details. She also posted a blog update on her own site stating (since replaced with a note about the holiday song) that she hung around during Exposé's band practice and got to know Gioia a little bit.

Another wonderful writeup of the Exposé Milwaukee show can be found here. I'm so glad many people enjoyed that concert. Let's hope the Tacoma show goes well as well.

Rich has been working very hard on their Website and Official MySpace pages. If you haven't joined the mailing list, please do so. They sent out a little newsletter for the holidays. I'm so happy they have great tools now to actually communicate with the fans.

I'm pretty busy with work and life stuff, but I am making a major update to this site and will be working on making this a blog-driven site rather than the manual process I use nowadays to do updates--y'know, RSS, linkrolls, comments, all that wonderful stuff. I'm sort of embarrased at the FAQ not being updated for six years, I will fix that ASAP--boy, a LOT has changed. Most of the updated information can be found on Wikipedia nowadays. I'm actually glad things exist now such as MySpace and Wikipedia because they take the pressure off of me once being virtually the only source of Exposé information on the Internet.

Happy Holidays, everybody!

Promotions and Other Updates

Saturday, December 9, 2006

Gioia just posted new stuff on her MySpace page. There are a couple of songs from her own library (unreleased), as well as a couple of new photos. The songs are kind of sad but kind of fit the theme of "December". Also, there are some new concert pictures up on the official site, this time showcasing their autograph session with the fans.

I am planning to do my own write-up of the Milwaukee concert, but I am pretty busy right now and it might not be completed for a month or two. In the meantime, I would strongly suggest looking at some of the MySpace fan reviews. The one that sort of summed things up best for me was Scott's Blog Entry on the subject.

PS--We need Exposé to do some Holiday tunes, darn it!

New MySpace Page

Thursday, December 7, 2006

Exposé now have an official MySpace page to go along with their new Web Site

http://www.myspace.com/exposeonline

New Website, New Show, New Information

Monday, December 4, 2006

Exposé finally have an official web site. It can be found at http://www.exposeonline.net/. Check it out!

Exposé will also be appearing at the Joint in the Hard Rock Cafe in Las Vegas. This is with a live band but a shorter set, they are part of a showcase of acts. If you are in the area, please check it out! You can order tickets at Ticketmaster

Jeanette Jurado has updated her MySpace Blog with an entry about the Milwaukee show.

Finally, I just wanted to say I saw the Milwaukee show. It was great! I hope 2007 brings Exposé continued success in touring.

First of Old Audio Interviews

Sunday, November 12, 2006

I've decided to start converting several of my old taped radio interviews with Exposé. With all the craziness of YouTube, people have forgotten about radio.

So, here's the first one. It's an interview Exposé did in the Spring of 1993 in South Carolina, on a radio station called 95QQ, I believe. This is in MP3 format--zipped up so people won't "stream it".

A quick Video and a new Interview

Wednesday, October 25, 2006

First off, Gioia has a new Interview up on the site AfterEllen.com.

Second, below enjoy a quick snippet of the Miami appearance.

Mass Updates (Cause of an accidental erasure!)

Monday, October 16, 2006

Okay, being the idiot I am I accidentally erased all my 2006 updates! So, since I can't re-create everything from memory, I'm posting the most relevant stuff here:

• The Second Part of the Gioia interview has been completed.
• Exposé is back together and going on tour. For more information, please check out this Press Release from PR Web, and listen to the Podcast.
• Exposé now has MySpace pages. Gioia, Jeanette, Ann, and Kelly all have pages on MySpace, and right now it's the best way to find out more Expoé information.
• There are Wikipedia Entries for Exposé, and all the Members (Gioia, Jeanette, Ann, and Kelly). Feel free to add relevant information.

I am moving towards blogging software, it's just taking time. (Mostly 'cause I do web stuff for a living and can get burnt out at the end of the day, especially with a long commute). More updates later this week as I re-create my posts.

Gioia's Web Site

Saturday, August 13th, 2006

Gioia's new web site is up. It's at www.gioiabruno.com, as well as the other domains.

I apologize for the lack of updates. Lot's of busy things happening behind the scenes. I am also working to get the second part of Gioia's interview up. Gioia's been extremely busy lately. I hope to have it ASAP.

Jeanette and Kelly and Days of Our Lives

Saturday, February 12th, 2005

Kelly has posted updates to her web site and fan club, and a new CD of love songs is now available for sale. Kelly Moneymaker co-wrote all of the songs, singing a few of them, while Jeanette Jurado does lead vocals on The Shadow of Love. There is a CD release party on June 5th, 2005.

Kelly Moneymaker also served as background vocalist to Diana Ross during the Tsunami Aid Benefit on NBC a few weeks back.

New Site Design

Saturday, February 12th, 2005

I have begun implementing a new site design for the Epistle. This will be a work in progress for the next few weeks. If possible, e-mail me and let me know what you think.

Gioia Interview

Friday, November 26, 2004

Sorry for the lack of updates lately.

Gioia Bruno has granted me an interview, and have have posted the first part of it on-line. View it here.

Album Release and Site Update.

Friday, July 16th, 2004

The Album has been released, and Gioia's site is up.

Not much news to report after that. ;-)

Except for one...I've listed to the album a few times already and I have yet to hear anything that would probably require the explicit lyrics sticker, so if anybody's holding off on purchasing the album because of the sticker, I can confidently say you will not be subjected to a bunch of profanity.

Expose This Album Track Listing.

Friday, July 9th, 2004

Amazon and others have finally released the final track listing for the album.

1. Be Mine
2. I Was Made For Loving You
3. Happy

Gioia's New Album Release.

Monday, June 21st, 2004
Updated: Wednesday, June 23rd, 2004

Lot's of news regarding Gioia.

Gioia's new album from Koch Records will be out on July 13th. More information can be found on the Koch Website:
http://www.kochdistribution.com/catalog/infopage.aspx?number=KOC-CD-8698

The album is also available for pre-order at Amazon.com
http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B00029J1ZY/

Earlier this week I listed some tracks, but Gioia has confirmed that the track list is not accurate as things have changed last minute. Also, the title is confirmed as "Expose This" and not "From the Inside"

Finally, I erased the appearance list on my site as Gioia's new web site has more up-to-date information.

Kelly News--Fan Club, Nominations, and Latest Apperances.

Thursday, April 22, 2004

Kelly Moneymaker has started an official fan club at her site. Orders are being taken now ($18.00 per year in the US, $22.00 elsewhere), and you can find out more information at
http://midnitesunrecords.com/%7Ekelly/index.html.

The song Can't Live Without Your Love has been nominated for AC40 Single of the Year in New Music Weekly. The awards will be presented on June 26th in Los Angeles.

New Web Site For Gioia, old site shut down.

Sunday, April 11, 2004

I apologize for the delay in this update.

Gioia's web site has moved. Gioia has registered the domain www.gioiabruno.net, and new designers are setting up a brand new web site for her. I would expect the web site to be completed in a few weeks to a few months. In the meantime, I will be providing updates from Gioia's official management in the near future such as tour schedules if they deem it necessary.

Ownership of the old site is apparently in dispute. After management requested the offical site be placed in other's hands, Gioia's old webmaster has claimed ownership of the site and domain, and that's why you see a "for sale" site on the old gioiabruno.com, and no information about Gioia's new site.

Blast from Ann's Past

Tuesday, August 5th, 2003

Found this interesting link. When Ann was in High School, she was a member of the Miami Beach Rock Ensemble. Well, apparently a history of the Group can be found at the following link:
http://www.rockensemble.com/timeline/1980_1981.htm
You can see a few photos of her as she looked in 1981, along at lease with one shot of Eve Nelson, a friend of Ann's.

Confusion About Another Show

Monday, August 4th, 2003

There is a scheduled performance on August 17th, 2003 at the Ibiza club in L.A., California at the Ibiza club. There has been some confusion in the promotion, but to the best of my knowledge, this is an appearance by Gioia Bruno of Exposé, and not the full Exposé group. Apparently the advertising is mistaken.

Reports on the Show

Monday, August 4th, 2003

I want to sum up reports on the show for everybody, based on several comments made by message board and e-mail list members.

• Exposé did 2 shows, one during daylight the other when it was dark. They spent 1/2 hour after the first show signing autographs, and a full hour after the second show. Fashions were subdued greys during the 1st set, and bright reds during the second set.
• Exposé had a live band, musicians Jeanette was friends with, including members of Safe-Sax, the Band Jeanette now sings for in Las Vegas.
• Security allowed still cameras, but did not allow videotape to be run at the concert or during autographs. One security guard was reported as saying that they didn't want the footage to end up on VH1. (Though who knows why, although it is known that Jeanette refused to do Where Are They Now? for some reason.)
• Reportedly Exposé was nervous for the first show, but got more comfortable during the second show. Most people liked the outfits for the second show better.
• During the show, Kelly mentioned Gioia's name, which caused some cheers from the crowd, and said Kelly had "big shoes to fill" and that she was lucky she "had big feet". Audience gave applause when Ann said she was doing a good job.
• At One Point Jeanette forgot the words to I'll Never Get Over You Getting Over Me.
• The set for these shows were are follows:
  • Come Go With Me - Jeanette
  • What You Don't Know - Kelly
  • I Wish The Phone Would Ring - Jeanette
  • I'll Never Get Over You (Getting Over Me) - Jeanette
  • Angel - Ann
  • Tell Me Why - Kelly
  • Exposed To Love - Ann
  • (Ballad Melody)
    • End of the World - Kelly, Jeanette and Ann
    • Your Baby Never Looked Good in Blue - Jeanette
    • As Long As I Can Dream - Ann
    • When I Looked At Him - Jeanette
  • I Specialize In Love - Kelly, Jeanette and Ann
  • Let Me Be The One - Kelly
  • Seasons Change - Jeanette
  • (Encore) Point Of No Return - Jeanette
• List member Leo G. Divingracia III took digital pictures. To save him bandwidth, I will place them here. These are huge files, each about 300K, and there are 18.5 MB total--Zipping doesn't help with these. Some of these are poor quality mistakes, but most are good. Feel free to browse and download them from here.
  http://www.expose-epistle.org/aug01-show/
  I will format these--shrinking them for better viewing over the course of the next few weeks.

Open Welcome to Ann and Jeanette

Friday, August 1st, 2003

Ann and Jeanette, it's great to see you guys coming back into the spotlight again. While we've kept abreast of Gioia and Kelly via their web sites, we haven't heard much from your end until now. I'm really looking forward to you guys touring around the country.

Please, if you feel up to it, contact me and I can perhaps write a good interview for the readers, let us know what you've been up to. At the very least, have your management company send this site touring information so all the fans can keep up-to-date on your apperances.

Getting an Official Web Site, or CyberSquatting?

Friday, August 1st, 2003

It looks like Exposé is getting ready to create their own web site. While the name Expose.com is currently in use by what looks like a stripper or something, the names for AnnCurless.com and JeanetteJurado.com have apparently been registered, apparently to some design studio in Southern California. Now this could be a legitimate agent of theirs, but it could also be somebody just grabbing the name for exploitation. The pages those sites seem to be advertising, rather than legit web sites. But it could just be a standard page created by the registar.

A few quick corrections

Friday, August 1st, 2003

A few corrections to previous news items.

• KHDC radio, to the best of my knowledge, is not a Spanish station, but a dance music one.
• There's still some speculation about the rights to the actual Exposé--do they own it or do they just have a license for it? Apparently, according to Rich, Gioia Bruno was the only member of Exposé who could use the name in advertising. But that might not exclude them purchasing the name.

Status of Exposé

Tuesday, July 29th, 2003

Jeanette Jurado was interviewed today on KHDC radio. I did not hear the recording personally (and it might have been in Spanish, since it appears that is a Spanish/Latin station), but the following facts were reveiled to us on Gioia's web board by the DJ who interviewed them:

• Ann Curless, Jeanette Jurado, and Kelly Moneymaker now own the rights to the Exposé name
• There are currently no plans to record new albums
• Jeanette wants to rotate the line-up with Gioia and Kelly and see how the chemistry works out. However, Gioia and Kelly will rotate, and will not appear together. I assume this is to keep the three part harmony, and/or to give equal singing time to the group (Kelly never had her own lead songs, so she would normally sing Gioia's songs, and thus I can see how it would be redundant if they had to share a lineup).

So, no record producer or label owns them now, and they can control their own destinies.

Miscellaneous Update

Sunday, July 27th, 2003

There's been some speculation regarding the group right now. Some people have reported that Thump records, the label that released the Greatest Dance Mixes collection of Exposé tunes, was thinking of putting out a new album. Rich, Gioia's "Webwizard", has confirmed that Gioia has talked to Jeanette Jurado recently, and that she knows that Exposé will be trying out some shows at different places across the country to get their feet wet again. There was no word about her joining the fun, but based on the fact that there was a conversation, it's possible, likely depending on what Gioia's solo gigs require, etc.

I also wish to apologize for jumping the gun and suggesting that Exposé might have snubbed Gioia--I wasn't, I was just expressing disappointment if they had done that. I was reacting to Rich's initial comments, and I've always been a little concerned in the past regarding Exposé maintaining ties with Gioia.

Kelly Moneymaker Site Update

Sunday, July 27th, 2003

Kelly Moneymaker talks about the Exposé show on August 1st on her website. She hints that it might actually be for more than one show, and it would seem they are balancing their solo efforts with these potential gigs.

Gioia signs with Koch Entertainment, is not appearing with Exposé

Wednesday, July 9th, 2003

Rich, Gioia's "Webwizard", has just announced to the Exposé Epistle mailing list, that Gioia Bruno has been signed to the KOCH Entertainment Music label, as the premier act for their new dance music division. An official press release should be released in a few days, most likely at http://www.kochentertainment.com/ and/or at http://www.gioiabruno.com/.

We also found out Gioia was not invited to the reunion. The Southeast Asia tour was cancelled for other reasons, and she had not heard back from the others at all regarding this reunion. (It would be a shame if they snubbed her, since I am sure the fans would want her to participate in a reunion concert, although Gioia's priorities are on her solo career.)

A single will be released in July, with a full album in August. I'll provide information when we have it.

Exposé Returns

Tuesday, July 8th, 2003

After a 10-year absence from Touring, Exposé will do at least one live show in 2003. Information is just being released on this.

Three of the core members of Exposé will be making an appearance at the California Mid-State Fair. ( http://www.midstatefair.com/ ) This lineup includes Ann Curless, Jeanette Jurado, and Kelly Moneymaker. They will be appearing at the fair on August 1st at 7PM and 9PM, on the Chumash Casino/Budweiser Fort Frontier Stage. More information can be found at the link above.

Right now, little else on this event is known. A few people have been digging up information. It's unknown whether Gioia Bruno will be appearing as well--she was supposedly going to be absent for a SouthEast Asia tour, but that has recently been cancelled just as this news was coming to light. One correspondent stated that Gioia would have been invited if she wasn't touring.
