BEAUTIFUL BUZZZ

FREE ENERGY KICK OFF MIDWEST US TOUR

[Your Name Here]Comment

It's time to put on your true rock-n-roll dancin shoes, because look out midwest, Free Energy are comin' your way!!  Every once in a while my midwest rock roots come out - I was not always on the best coast hanging out with hipsters and listening to electro dance music - and sometimes I just want to hear a massive amount of cowbell!  Well....look no farther, because it's right here with this band.

Coming from Philadelipha, PA - Free Energy deliver blistering rock anthems with, yes kids, plenty of cowbell.  "Blistering rock anthems" may be a bit much, but I can get carried away when I get rocked really hard!  They played my SXSW showcase this year back in March and were awesome - and super sweet guys to boot!

New music coming from them soon - they have announced a new album called Love Sign, and have offered a free download of "Electric Fever" for your listening pleasure!  If you are in the Midwest next week, totally go out and get rocked!!

NEW MUSIC: BABY MONSTER - CITY OF LOVERS EP

[Your Name Here]Comment

Baby Monster's City of Lovers EP is an organically grown collection of tracks by duo Daniel Sternbaum and Marty Larson Xu.  Known for their popular remixes for Gorillaz, Ellie Goulding and Foster The People among others, Baby Monster's City of Lovers EP was released yesterday on iTunes and all digital retailers.

Written simultaneously from different cities, the grinding beats and airy vocals of the City of Lovers EP produce a summer-ready ethereal atmosphere that reflects the tension between the duo’s varying perceptions of both the metropolitan and natural environments.

WHAT'S GOIN ON LA?

After being with Art Vs Science again, not sure how I can go back to seeing any other shows because Art Vs Science is the best live band on the planet!!  But life goes on and sadly LA we will have to wait for another 8 months before they come back.....sigh!

I am most excited this week for the Phantom Planet reunion shows @ Troubadour!  10 years ago I worked with this band when I was at Sony Music - and we would party like rockstars!  It has been over 4 long years since they have taken a stage, and we actually got a taste of it on Monday night when they played a suprise warm up show @ The Satellite!  It was so great to hear all those familiar songs again - and you will see me at both nights @ Troubadour!

It was so great that I have actually not been able to stop listening to their records - I am currently listening to Phantom Planet: Phantom Planet (2004).  A ton of fun stuff going on this week kids - get out there and see some live music!

ART VS SCIENCE - BACK IN THE STATES!

[Your Name Here]Comment

I have had one crazy week of shows and festivals and traveling that Beautiful Buzzz has remained silent for over a week.  Sorry about that kids - there is lots to catch up on and lots of amazing music to listen to still....I will try to get tracks and videos up ASAP!

I have seen hundreds and hundreds of bands over the years - so many that sometimes I even forget what I have and have not seen.  One thing I do know, for sure, that Art Vs Science is, 100% the best live band around, anywhere....

I have waited 8 long months to see my lovely Australian friends again, and like always their shows totally blow me away - it never gets old and it never will!  Again...Dan, Dan & Jim - you are amazing!!  Let's keep doing this for a really really long time!!

NEW MUSIC: BLUE FOUNDATION -FUNDAMENTAL

[Your Name Here]Comment

It's getting close to the end of my day...at least for today...before I hit the LA night life and see all the awesome Monday night residency bands.  But right now I am fully submerged into the sounds of Blue Foundation!

In My Mind, I am Free is the new album from Brooklyn’s electronic/dream pop duo Blue Foundation, who is self-releasing the album through their own imprint, Dead People’s Choice Records.  Blue Foundation was founded in 2000 by producer/singer Tobias Wilner. Their lineup consists of Wilner (producer, multi-instrumentalist and vocalist) and Bo Rande (multi-instrumentalist).

The record is great, this song is great, the video is great, it's just all great!  And sexy...really really sexy!!
