More Praise for Our Peeps!
Evan Francis, one of our longest standing reed players has received a pretty stellar review for his group Spaceheater’s Blast Furnace and their self titled album. Not only does Evan play on this one, but he composed seven of the ten songs on the album.
The group’s first album “The Record” received some pretty spectacular praise as well:
“’The Record’ is easily the best album I’ve heard this year. It’s so effortlessly hip, funky, interesting and fun simultaneously. It’s a joy to listen to and a joy to play on the radio.”
-Seth Samuels, Jazz Director WOBC FM
You can find the Evan and Spaceheater on MySpace, Facebook, and at Jazz Mafia. If you’re fortunate enough to be in the San Fransisco Bay area, we highly recommend checking them out live!
New Music: Beth Schenck
Beth Schenck, one of the amazing reed players and long time member of the Industrial Jazz Group has just posted some new music to her MySpace Artist page including:
- Wish or Wonder
- What Have You Taken
- Memory Misplaced
These thoughtful, pensive, and sweet tunes are more than worth checking out.
When Is It Too Much?
Transparency – a Word of Our Times
So Durkin sent me an email about this post.
I read the article (and a few others – Copyblogger may become a regular read for me) and I found myself thinking about the website. It really doesn’t seem all that trustworthy. Oh – don’t get me wrong – it’s not like I think that it looks skeevy or like something that you should be concerned about – it just doesn’t look to me like someplace to spend money. Let’s face it – it would be really great if the site brought in some more money for the band to ease at least that burden a bit.
This got me to thinking about what people might want to see to make them a bit more comfortable with the idea of ordering cds and other merchandise through the site. The article mentions anti-hacker and BBB badges. Anyone have anything else? What would make you feel more comfortable?
