My Bubba & Mi joins our Family!

Ah, remember…A year and a half ago we dove right in that Dutch musicbizz and got our paws wet (and a little more than just paws I’m afraid). Seven beautiful releases – and countless valuable experiences later we feel like weathered veterans, but really, those albums only whetted our appetite. It’s time for new things. New territory to be discovered.

The last couple of months we’ve been peaking over our countries border and saw some awesome new things that made us think ‘gimme!’. One of those ‘things’ is a 3 piece group named My Bubba & Mi from that strangely appealing, home-of-lego country called Denmark.

Here’s the story in short. There’s three girls – My, Bubba and Mia – from three countries – Denmark, Sweden and Iceland. Somehow they ended up in the same place: an appartment in Copenhagen and became friends. Bubba tells us:

“It just happened that way. Then we became friends and My bubba & Mi. During our third concert, in Copenhagen, Andrea, an italian café owner, happened to bike by, and he heard our voices he said and came in. After the show he told us we should come play at his café in Italy. We were pleased that he liked us, but we thought we’d never hear from him again. Then a couple of months later we got an email from Alessandro at WWNBB, who had been introduced to our music by Andrea, and who wanted to organize a tour for us in Italy the following year. We went, and they asked us to come back soon to make a record. We did.”

They did alright.

They left Italy with a lovely record called ‘How it’s done in Italy‘. The girls themselves describe their music as lullabies from the countryside, which we must admit, goes a long way. Think folk, country & blues, think old days, lovely harmonies, think of a robust contrabass dating a fragile casio keyboard. No, stop thinking, start listening!

I will never love a young boy again

Yes sir. ‘How it’s done in Italy‘ get’s the lovely catalogue nr. BEEP008-2010 and is our first release of an international artist! The album will be released on CD & Vinyl and hits the stores March 8. We’ll have the girls over for a little tour in April. More on those things later. For now, the girls would like to say ‘hi’ to you their selves. Why don’t you say ‘hi’ back?

Kismet; ‘Hiatus’ Performed Acoustically But Not Necessarily Worse

`Seven Songs Of Our Previous Record ‘Hiatus’ Performed Acoustically So They’ll Sound A Little Different But Not Necessarily Worse’

kismetlivecdlabel

Kismets little gesture to mothers, daughters, openminded hetrosexuals, metrosexuals, homosexuals, and let’s not forget the mainstream. In short. This release might not be suitable for machos, but most definitely is for people who fancy machos. Catch our drift?

These seven songs were recorded in their hometown Utrecht during a live show back in june. They guy who’s responsible for all this would be Chris Regtop, who actually graduated with this project at the School For Awesome & SuperTalented People Who In Fact Are SuperTalented (and most of them awesome) But Problably Will Have To Live Of Government Funding Or Try And Find A Real Job Cuz The Music Bizz Is A Bitch (what’s up with superlong idiotic titles anyways these days?!).

Give these songs a try and download ‘em HERE. If you’d like to buy it, you can find it in our webshop. Or come and pick one up yourself at one of their livingroom shows with The Black Atlantic and Het Gloren
in December. Awesome times! Dates are below.
