A huge shout to my brother in guitars, Robbie Rist or as we’ve known him all these years, my cousin Oliver. To his participation in Buzzie’s summer of 09 tour, rocked us repeatedly in the Mockers, the Andersons and solo. This man is a force to know and love. To you my friend, Robbie Rist! Here Here!
Buzzie Live at IPO 2009, pictures from Jan’s Psych Central Myspace page where she’s got pics of tons of great musicians. I have put up screenshots of the photos here for ease of use. If you want to print or purchase (heh heh) one please connect with Jan via MySpace.
My son Jason shot some video of our show at the Orange County Fair. He wasn’t so focused on the show but was making some great comments along the way. I don’t know if he was going for an art piece, but he sure got one. This was shot on a Flip video camera and edited with iMovie.
And the songs are said to be built around an Elliot Smith and Mark Kozelek/Sun Kil Moon strategy. Plenty of guitars, harmonies and production but no bass or drums. Asked about this approach, McElhenney responded. “The song Disappear represents a pivotal moment in my life. There’s a rock record coming, but I felt I had to present the context around that one song. The single vocal and guitar version was recorded in one pass, as a scratch track, and it actually captured the song perfectly. Even the mistake is as it should be.”
