Message From Lazlo




Hi Everyone,

So last Wednesday Folk You! returned to the The Goldhawk, and besides having incredible performances from Chris Gibson, Mike Robertson, and Dave Calamoneri, it was also a surprise party for Jim Testa (whose birthday is actually today, so wish him a happy b-day!). The show was a lot of fun...but sadly, lightly attended...

This seems to be a recurring problem. People e-mail me how thankful they are that Jim Testa and I do Folk You!, and how much they love the other shows BlowUpRadio.com hosts. Musicians e-mail me all the time wanting to be involved with Folk You! and other BlowUpRadio.com shows...but the truth is, people may like the shows, but they don't seem to come out and support them.

It pains me to even have to write about it...I don't want to be one of those guys who bitches and moans about this...I get annoyed when I see bands and other "Scene supporting sites", complaining...so I'm going to try not to do it anymore...but, if support for BlowUpRadio.com shows doesn't grow, I'm just not going to be able to do them anymore. Venues want to see numbers, and if I can't get people to come out to the shows, then they won't let me continue to put on shows.

And that's all I'm going to say on that...


It so happens that this Saturday is the SICA Folk You! show. I happen to think this is a very special line-up that you're not going to want to miss.

Prosper-ous new open-mic night comes to the Java Joint...


Friday, January 27, will mark the first Open Mic at the new Java Joint Café in Old Bridge. Sign ups can be done by email (javajointopenmic@gmail.com), through MySpace (myspace.com/javajointopenmic), or at the café. It is currently held on Friday evenings from 7:30 – 10:30pm. From 7:30 on you must be at least 17 years of age, unless accompanied by a guardian.

The hip and trendy surroundings, a fantastic menu, and an area bursting with young artistic talents should make the new open mic quite an experience. Poetry, spoken word, and acoustic performance are all welcome. Along with plans for art/ photography displays and featured musicians to come for a “Storytellers-type” performance, it won’t just be the coffee getting people going on Friday nights...(more)
