Nudity … Dizzy Rascal … Toe Jam … some of my favorite things

Wednesday, July 2nd, 2008

Scrolling through Music, Video and Lyrics - The Music Lovers Group - and came across this gem.

Fat Boy Slim and David Byrne make up the collaborative group BPA or ‘Brighton Port Authority.’ For some tantalizing censored nudity check out the video (which features UK sensation and one of my favorite interviewees - Dizzee Rascal).

For lyrics and more info on the video - check out the MLG post!

Folk Rockers Fancy Trash Open for DeVotchKa

Thursday, June 19th, 2008

With raw, driving acoustic force, Fancy Trash serves as further evidence that Northampton, MA is a thriving hotbed of indie talent. After landing in the top 20 on the Acoustic charts for March, they established themselves as an OurStage band to watch. Gypsy/Folk/Indie Rockers DeVotchKa took notice and invited them to join them on four dates on their recent East Coast tour. I caught up with them at the final gig in NYC at Terminal 5:

A few notes:

1) Dave and Josh are two of the nicest, most humble guys I’ve come across in the past couple years covering OurStage bands. After awhile I had to tell them to stop thanking me, OurStage, and the fans. I reminded them that they EARNED this opportunity. It was very cool to see them play to a big audience at Terminal 5.

2) They’re also friends with fellow OurStage great Matt Hebert, who many of you may know better as Haunt. After he won an appearance at Paste Party last year, he told the guys from Fancy Trash to check out OurStage. Clearly, it all worked out!

3) It’s also worth pointing out that Fancy Trash were our east coast representatives on the DeVotchKa tour. But we also had two other artists open for DeVotchKa in the Midwest. Make sure to check them out:

Chicago singer/songwriter (and much decorated OurStage artist) Alain De Courtenay (accompanied by violinist TJ Callanta) opened for DeVotchKa in Minneapolis, Chicago, and Indianapolis.

And Wisconsin native Cedarwell opened the show in Madison.

Adam Ezra Writes a Song to OurStage

Tuesday, June 17th, 2008

After landing #1 on the ROTHBURY channel for May, the Adam Ezra Group earned a performance slot at the ROTHBURY music festival which also includes performances from Dave Matthews, John Mayer, Snoop Dogg, and Sam Beam (of Iron and Wine). You may remember AEG from our video on Earthfest. Like any band, we expected them to be excited for the ROTHBURY opportunity. But we did not expect this video:

All I can say is: Incredible.

Don’s set was incredibly fun to watch and his quirky sense of humor kept us laughing as we grooved to his upbeat tunes.

Sunday Morning: Morningbell Performance

Sunday, June 15th, 2008
www.ourstage.com

On Sunday, the crew from Morningbell performed an energetic and pop-laiden set that was the perfect wake-up call for our hip-hop weary ear drums. I was amazed by how quickly their melodies lightened the atmosphere in the Sonic Village and delighted that their music attracted an enthusiastic crowd of fans!

Saturday Noon: The Sons of Roswell

Saturday, June 14th, 2008

OurStage.com band The Sons of Roswell got the call to perform Bonnaroo only a few days after their lead singer quit the band. In less than a week these guys were able to recruit a new lead vocalist / guitarist and write a whole new set of songs … Did we mention their new front man is 18 years old?! It’s truly a testament to their talent as musicians though - check out their performance!!

Fun Fact: When we asked the drummer the name of the song so that we could put the title on the piece he told us he didn’t know because all the songs were so new!!! Hah!

Here’s some additional pics from their performance:

Friday Afternoon: The Press Project Performs

Friday, June 13th, 2008

www.ourstage.com

Hot off the presses here at Bonnaroo - OurStage.com’s ‘The Press Project’ played a killer set on the Sonic Stage Friday evening @ 4:30. Their smooth beats and soulful hip hop jams impressed the crowd and got ‘the booties a-shakin.’ Their performance was so good that one of the Bonnaroo staff members actually ran from his post to inquire about the band and stood anxiously back stage just waiting to shake their hands when they came off!! Check out their live performance (above) of their OurStage hit, ‘Get Right’ - a #1 hit on the OurStage Alt. HipHop charts.
