I must admit I was very pleasantly surprised by the reaction I got to my
little editorial last week. One never knows how many people are truly reading what I write here,
but the amount of responses I got last week says people are paying attention. Thanks!
Hard to believe it's almost 3 years now that I've been doing BlowUpRadio.com, something I started as a way to play good music
that mainstream radio wouldn't play for no other reason than these artists aren't signed to a
major label. As if being signed to a label automatically makes you a better artist. But let's
not get me started on that rant...
3 years BlowUpRadio.com has
been around playing the best the local NJ music scene has to offer. 3 years of hopefully
supporting the scene through playing their music, having links up to their sites, keeping up to
date on local music news, and trying to put on live shows to showcase as many of these bands as
possible.
With that in mind, I am proud to announce that BlowUpRadio.com's 3rd Anniversary Bash will take place on Saturday
Dec. 12th at The Court Tavern.
I would love to have every local Jersey band play this show and make it a party that would go on
24/7 for weeks and weeks until every local band has played, but realistically there can only be 4
bands. Those bands will be announced in the near future. There will also be plenty of surprises
that evening and really I hope everyone will come out, not so much to support BlowUpRadio.com, as much as to
support the scene as a whole. Let's make this an event for bands to meet other bands, for fans
of local music and local musicians to talk to one another. For everyone to band together to make
the scene a better place.
I wholeheartedly hope musicians will come down and bring their stickers and flyers for upcoming
shows and hand them out to the fans and other musicians there. I hope the fans will come out to
see 4 really cool bands and to get info from other musicians from the scene. This can be more
than a another show, it can be more than a party, this can be a scene building affair. One of
hopefully many.
New Jersey has the best local bands in the world, let's nurture this scene and let it grow!
Ok, ok, I'm a hippie freak :)
Peace,
Lazlo
