Hey Everyone,
Happy President's Day!
Despite our current president, there are plenty of good presidents throughout our history that we should take the time to remember and celebrate.
It just struck me that while we've had musicians nicknamed the Boss and the Chairman of The Board, I can't recall any nicknamed the President.
Anyway, a few bits of news here at BlowUpRadio.com:
The next BlowUpRadio.com Free Concert at Buddie's Tavern will be on Saturday March 22nd. This very special show will be 4 sets by 4 great solo acoustic artists. The show will start at 9pm sharp with a set from Chris Collins (the drummer from Mod Fun, only on this night he will be showcasing his original blues music), and followed by sets from Joshua Van Ness (formerly of Souls' Release, and Van Ness), J Stanley (formerly of Outcry, Gypsy Cab Drivers), and the pop punk rock of Kate Hart. I'm really excited about this line-up and I hope all of you are too.
A couple of new CD reviews for you at BlowUpRadio.com. One from NYC's Vicky Emerson, and one from NJ's own Mazeffect.
Speaking of Mazeffect, tune into Lazlo's Den on Wednesday night at 8pm ET to hear a full hour with Jay & Mel from Mazeffect as my in-studio guests, talking about their new CD, "horseshoes & hand grenades", as well as the reunion of their former band, Slappy.
A few other guests should be calling in this week, including Vicky Emerson, Anton Sword, and Bob Burger (who is part of a breast caner benefit happening at Centro on Sunday). To find out when these interviews will air, check www.LazlosDen.com.
Less than 2 weeks left for you to get your free download of "Lazlo's Top 25 Albums of 2007 CD Sampler". Go to www.BlowUpRadio.com to download it before March 1st.
