Hey Everyone, Well if you're reading this newsletter you are probably a big fan of local live music, and will probablly enjoy these two announcements I am going to make this week as much as I love being able to tell you them. So let's get to them A few years ago BlowUpRadio.com did a weekly live concert series. While it was popular, technical problems caused me to remove it from the schedule for awhile. Beginning September 4th I am proud to announce the return of BlowUpRadio.com Live! Each week you'll get to hear one or more local bands recorded live in concert. Some of these concerts will be very recent, others will be digging back into the BlowUpRadio.com archives. I guarantee every concert will be one you'll want to hear, and that's why every weeknight at 9pm BlowUpRadio.com Live will air, giving you 5 opportunites to hear each show every week. Here is the air schedule for September: September also marks our biggest month for live concerts in our nearly 5 year history! Here's a rundown: On Thursday Septmeber 1st BlowUpRadio.com is proud to be a sponsor of Hoboken Rocks!, which is a free show that runs starts at 5pm on Pier A in Hoboken and features sets by: Butterspy End Of October Friday September 9th at 7:30pm BlowUpRadio.com is co-sponsoring it's first show at Indigo Coffeehouse (1208 Route 34, Aberdeen), along with our friends at WRSU.

About Amsterdam
At age nine, Amsterdam began jamming in Asbury Park, NJ and performing at clubs throughout NY and NJ - playing before audiences that included NJ's Governor and Bruce Springsteen. By age 15, he had already recorded his first album, jammed with members of the E Street Band, Phish, Les Paul, and Jimi Hendrix's Band of Gypsies. At 16 was also flown out to Hollywood to record an ill fated Dreamworks project that never saw the light of day. At 17 he recorded The Sore Score in his bedroom. These days Amsterdam is performing songs on and off of his major-label debut and spinning vinyl throughout the tri state area college scene and club scene. He is currently conducting press interviews and lining up promotional appearances in conjunction with the release of The Sore Score.
