Message From Lazlo




Hi Everyone,

So I'd like to start by thanking My Pocket Zoo, jpat, Joe Canzano, and Tony Tedesco for putting on some incredible sets last Saturday at our SICA Folk You! show.

~~~~~~~~~~

I don't mention Lazlo's Den often on here, especially now that I have a seperate e-mail list set up for the weekly show (you can join the list by e-mailing lazlosden-subscribe@yahoogroups.com), but I did want to mention that this Thursday on Lazlo's Den will be a very special interview I conducted with the singer/drummer from New Orleans based band Cowboy Mouth. So tune in this Thursday night at 8pm EST when Lazlo's Den airs on Upstage Radio.

For those wondering, I do hope to do more interviews on Lazlo's Den with both NJ and non-NJ based bands in the future.

~~~~~~~~~~

And then on Friday, I invite you all to come on up to Maxwell's, for a show BlowUpRadio.com will be co-sponsoring with Hip Music Promo. Hip Music Promo is a new indie music promotion company spearheaded by a man who has been around the local scene since the 80's, Andy Gesner. Whether playing with Spiral Jetty (one of several bands he was in), booking at New Brunswick based clubs, or as the founder of Artist Amplification, Andy has been a big part of the NJ music scene, and it's great to work with him again on co-sponsoring this show.

And the line-up is incredible!

DellaValle - 'pink elephants'

New Jersey produces extraordinarily distinctive voices. No breathy, low-key singers here - we like our frontmen to be huge, powerful presences, dominating the tracks with passion, commitment, and courage. It's not enough to simply bluster, though: ours is a quirky state, and singers here need that mark of originality and personality that projects an identifiable and fully human perspective. Hearing a Jersey singer can be like shaking hands with a good friend. Jay Della Valle grew up in Wayne - a quintessential Jersey town, with single-family houses, strip highways and convenience stores, old factories converted to new industries, and miles and miles of asphalt. A theatre student in college and an exuberant, outsized personality, Jay Della Valle was drawn to the stagelights. There, he developed his voice: a potent, flexible instrument that can inspire, castigate, plead, and rage with unerring emotional intensity...

Prosper-ous new open-mic night comes to the Java Joint...


Friday, January 27, will mark the first Open Mic at the new Java Joint Café in Old Bridge. Sign ups can be done by email (javajointopenmic@gmail.com), through MySpace (myspace.com/javajointopenmic), or at the café. It is currently held on Friday evenings from 7:30 – 10:30pm. From 7:30 on you must be at least 17 years of age, unless accompanied by a guardian.

The hip and trendy surroundings, a fantastic menu, and an area bursting with young artistic talents should make the new open mic quite an experience. Poetry, spoken word, and acoustic performance are all welcome. Along with plans for art/ photography displays and featured musicians to come for a “Storytellers-type” performance, it won’t just be the coffee getting people going on Friday nights...(more)
