In episode 6, Rex Dart explains how to be a DJ for a living, Timothy Styles tells Melissa Marth to shut up (a lot), and the gang play a game of Big Friendly Battle.
Song of the week: Mark Stoermer “Everyone Loves the Girl”
I want to give a very special thanks to all of our friends, family, and fans that came to our CD release party last night. We had a tremendous time, and hope you did as well. Also, thanks to De La Decay and the Clydesdale for performing. They crushed. And one final thanks to our little string section James Montalbano (cello) and Megan Wingerter (violin, in A Crowd of Small Adventures and Dusty Sunshine). If you weren’t there, you missed us doing the Abbey Road medley and it turned out great. It was a great way to start the year. We’ll see you all soon!
Through the power of technology I stumbled across this little indie EP that is worth the download. Even better, it’s FREE (or donate if you want). The group is called Mr. Woman, and they’re from Vegas. Remember what I said, kids: “Don’t support local music, support GOOD music.” And this is good music, baby.
On today’s special episode of Big Friendly Radio, Timothy Styles and Melissa Marth speak openly about their local music “scene.” All topics are covered from venues to rock writers. From greater expectations to the measure of success in local bands. If you are involved in any way with the Las Vegas music community, this show was specifically recorded for you.
The new BFC album is finished and due out January 28th, 2012. You can pre-order right here for $8.00. When you do, you get the first track, “Tonight,” today and the rest on the release date. We’re really proud of this album, and want it to do really well. So do us a solid and spread the word. It means a lot to us.
Also, the record release party is set, and I put together a line-up to be proud of. BFC will be performing (obviously), but we’ll be joined by alt-country band the Clydesdale and chiptune artist De La Decay. Save the date!
Our favorite band is Black Camaro. They are the best thing to ever happen to Las Vegas.
