My background is off in IE Options

[shynomi]

I haven't had this issue before and I can't seem to find a fix.
My background looks great in FF and Safari but is not centered and way off (to the right) in IE.
I tried adding the _margin left attribute to the background section but that didn't help.

You'll have to scrolldown to where the shows are and you'll see what I mean. I have a div covering the top half.

****OLD BIO<br /><br />

Fans credit Melodime with the genre defying versatility of Ben Harper and the Innocent Criminals, the song writing intricacy of Tom Petty and a clean, intriguing sound that is comparable to Dave Matthews. The band's multi-genre sound is an eclectic mix of rock, blues, folk and country.<br /><br />

Melodime (Bradley Rhodes, Rachel Beauregard and brothers Sam and Tyler Duis) is an award winning band from Northern VA. Introduced by a mutual friend, the foursome began jamming together in the fall of 2005. Since, they have gained merited attention winning Washington DC’s acclaimed battle of the bands and having their hit Sweet Contentment played on two episodes of Fox TV’s So You Think You Can Dance. <br /><br />

The band recently self-produced and released their first major album, Memories in the Form of Sound. They continue to receive rave reviews by fans and critics alike; The Washington Post praises their music as “sleekly contemporary but suitable for easy-listening venues.”<br /><br />

Melodime is currently performing across VA and DC with plans to tour the East Coast later this year.<br /><br /><br /></font>

<b>Live!<br />
Who: Melodime When: 7:30 p.m. tomorrow Where: Royal Lake Park, Fairfax County<br />
Thursday, June 11, 2009<br /><br /></b>

Local music fans who enjoy a hometown success story and who haven't
checked out Northern Virginia's Melodime might want to see the band
tomorrow night at Royal Lake Park. Who knows how long it will be
before the group's momentum carries its musicians to bigger things
than playing free outdoor shows in their own back yard?<br /><br />

Not that critical praise, respectable record sales and an expanding
fan base would be enough to lure Melodime from home. After all, the
group's debut album, "Memories in the Form of Sound," features a song
called "NoVa Love" and another with lyrics extolling the musical
inspiration the band members get from making "sweet Virginia" their
base. But when a band this good starts attracting attention, it
doesn't pay for those who want to say, "I saw them way back when," to
procrastinate.<br /><br />

"There was a time when we were seriously considering moving," said
Melodime's main songwriter, singer and guitarist Bradley Rhodes, who
grew up in Vienna and graduated from Oakton High School. Rhodes said
the band had considered relocating to Nashville but scrapped that plan
when things began to fall into place locally.<br /><br />

Staying close to home is fine with him, Rhodes said. "I feel like D.C
is great place for bands to grow. I really like the area and the
opportunities we could have here. Things are really starting to pick
up at this point," he said, noting Melodime's busy concert schedule.
"We are seeing the fruits of our labors."<br /><br />

The group, made up of keyboardist Sam Duis, drummer Tyler Duis,
bassist Nate Thomas, violinist Katie Shanta and part-time vocalist
Rachel Beauregard, mixes a refreshing musical cocktail from rock,
country, blues and folk influences. Melodime got its start in 2005 and
released its first CD last year. The band's song "Sweet Contentment"
was featured on the Fox network's show "So You Think You Can Dance"
last summer.<br /><br />

Melodime's appearance at Royal Lake Park comes during the second week
of the Fairfax County Park Authority's Braddock Nights concert series,
which will continue through the summer with performances on Fridays at
Royal Lake in Fairfax and Lake Accotink Park in Springfield and
Sundays at Ossian Hall Park in Annandale.<br /><br />

<b>MELODIME "Memories in the Form of Sound" Lockstar Records<br />
Friday, January 2, 2009; Page WE07<br /><br /></b>

THE CRUX of Melodime's music is Bradley James Rhodes's baritone,
accompanied by either acoustic guitar or piano. Plucked from the
Northern Virginia quartet's new album, songs such as "Through the
Miles" might suggest that Rhodes and fellow singer Rachel Beauregard
front a jazz-folk combo, sleekly contemporary but suitable for
easy-listening venues.<br /><br />

Yet "Memories in the Form of Sound" often expands on its gentler
passages, from the hard rock of "The Orphan Song" to the gospel of
"When I'm 63."<br /><br />

The latter is more characteristic of the band, which draws heavily
from traditional African American styles. "I don't classify as a
Southerner," cautions Rhodes in "Orange People," and the group offers
two versions of "NoVa Love," a song that puts its origins right in the
title. Still, Southern-rooted styles are integral to Melodime, which
owes something to Charlottesville's Dave Matthews Band and more to
Memphis, Nashville and New Orleans. With their New Agey lyrics and
intricate production, tunes such as "Twisted Fairytale" are
up-to-date. But there's a lot of musical history in them, too.<br /><br />

Ambitious folk-tinged rock from D.C. Rootsy, with a lot of interesting
layers. This first full-length effort is impressive, with harmonies
and harmonicas keeping a listener on his toes. Some tracks remind one
of Blues Traveler, but this quartet is their own beast, and when all
cylinders fire, it’s a fine result. A nice change of pace from typical
recycled shoe-gazing tripe out there.<br /><br />

<b>A night at the 9:30 club<br />
Traci J. Brooks<br />
Saturday, March 28, 2009<br />
8:32 p.m.<br />
Melodime<br /><br /></b>

Americana meets overdrive in Melodime, a four-piece band (if the
tambourine counts as an instrument) from Northern Virginia. The 9:30
club is nowhere near full as they take the stage, but those that are
there have no problem getting into the first of three bands opening
for Honor By August at their CD release show.<br /><br />

Of course, the tambourine gets old pretty fast. But their driving,
riff-heavy guitars and steady drums keep the music energetic, and the
lead singer’s hearty vocals don’t falter, even when competing with the
female background vocalist’s equally powerful harmonies. When Rachel
Beauregard finally does get a chance to let loose, Melodime’s sound
rips into a surprisingly loud, bluesy sound that has a shot at
impressing even the most cynical of critics. Their cover of Tracy
Chapman’s “Give Me One Reason” ended their set – clearly, there ain’t
no more to say.<br /><br />

And though their music is technically sound and their performance is
sleek and well-rehearsed, Melodime is not a band one listens to for
the relaxing “me” time. It’s not that they’re not good – they just
change their sound every other song so it feels a bit like audio
whiplash. They do rock, blues and folk all equally well, but
eventually it just seems selfish. There are other bands out there,
kids, which could use some of your polish. Share a little, and the
D.C. music scene will thank you.<br /><br />

<b>Every Freakin' Friday Band: Melodime<br />
Submitted by amanda.svec on Mon, 02/23/2009 - 18:27<br />
in Broadside Entertainment<br /><br /></b>

Seeing Melodime, a local alternative rock band, gave me the
feeling of being in a smoky bar in the south, like the kind from The
Blues Brothers movies.<br /><br />

This four-piece ensemble from the Washington, D.C. area is a
funk, soul, folk, blues, pop-rock tidal wave that rocks as hard as any
seasoned club-band, but comes off as a casual garage band.<br /><br />

Their set, mostly consisting of up-tempo blues and soul tunes, was
rather energetic, even if the band members themselves were not.<br /><br />

Many of their original tunes were definitely funky and toe-tap worthy,
but mostly all sounded the same.<br /><br />

Male lead singer Bradley Rhodes gave a throaty vocal performance,
harnessing a soulful sound which worked in all of the songs except
those with a slower tempo.
As soon as female lead Rachel Beauregard opened her mouth though, I,
like most of the audience, was taken aback by her big and soulful
voice.<br /><br />

Both singers displayed good voices for their chosen genre and unlike
most bands with male and female leads, their voices worked really well
together.<br /><br />

The set was delicately sprinkled with soulful covers of The Beatles
“All You Need Is Love,” Billy Joel’s “It’s Still Rock and Roll to Me,”
Ben Harper’s “Steal My Kisses,” and a flawless cover of Tracy
Chapman’s “Give Me One Reason,” familiar tunes which the audience
didn’t hesitate in lending a voice.<br /><br />

They even surprised us with a very pleasant rendition of the classic
“My Girl” by The Temptations which, to the band’s credit, made me fall
back in love with the song.
Again, I think it was the spice of the great covers that really saved
the performance.
Overall, Melodime is just that—mellow and fun. Nothing too crazy.<br /><br />

Their album, Memories in the Form of Sound, is available on iTunes and
would probably be a great album for a party or road trip—which seems
to be a consistent theme of Every Freakin’ Friday bands.<br /><br />

Overall, it was a real fun show and if you missed it, you can catch
Melodime back here at George Mason University in the Johnson Center
this Thursday playing a benefit show for Relay for Life with The
Independent.<br /><br />

<b>Melodime at Jammin’ Java<br /><br /></b>

Last night I went to Jammin’ Java in Vienna with Snot Season for a
project she had to do for her History of Rock and Roll class. Jammin’
Java, we decided, is the ideal hang-out for the poser suburban hipster
and I’m at least two of those things. Playing last night were Green
River Ordinance from Texas and Melodime from right here in Virginia.<br /><br />

Both were pretty good. Snot and I agreed that G.R.O. had a very
Fray-like tone to them. They exemplified that “nice guy rock” that had
several girls whoo-ing in the audience. For the $10 cover charge, I
was content with just listening to them, but then Melodime got on
stage and quickly made clear who the main act was. Their drummer, for
one, was really good, in my opinion and their attitude was fun, witty,
and lively. The music defied labeling…it’s definitely
country/bluegrass influenced, but it has some indie rock elements in
it. We had to leave before they were done, but they were serious
business…I really liked them.<br /><br />

Plus the female singer, Rachel Beauregard….so cute. Really really really cute.<br /><br />
