Last week, the 4 Flux-adel bands that are on Jango - Roaming Crazy, 2MERICA, The Stares 20/20, and Ezraz -- all scored high enough for the bonus round. Each of our artists does well overall on Jango, but we've never  had all of them score high in the same week. Very cool!

Fans are collecting from around the world (without facebook's help), so however you listen to music online or off, do some promotion for our fun little Flux-adel family.

ps -- we are planning a huge release party this summer for all Flux-adel Artists -- stay tuned for more info soon.

You can stream our debut track "Stares 2020" and soon enough purr-chase it. I am twiddling knobs and playing some keys in this lineup and it's been a blast trying to make some fresh sounds. It ain't what most would call the funk but life is just so complex, I had to get my rocks off!

Being the weird post-everything music industry that it is, we have more merchandise than songs available. Killer! Head over to the Roaming Crazy Store to see our new sexy shirt models, you won't be disappointed.

This one gets you on the bike and zooming around town with Ezraz Jones and his panfunktual bonobos. Watch out for the signs!

We have some pre-winter storms rolling through so I watch this with instant nostalgia. Stupid skorpion monkeys.

It has begun it's journey through the tubes of the internet, fresh from a session at The All Night Party and sounding so tasty. You will need to cue it up right after "Never Met Tomorrow" for part 2 of Scherzo Elskorpion, the 3rd 2MERICA LP in progress.
We can't link to buy or even preview yet since those links don't exist. Just wanted to drop some pre-release hype onto the internut to show some charisma. C'mon people!  Update:  Just went live on CDBaby. More to come as they pop.

Make your own station like pandora, but indie bands get in the mix. Very nice. ---

One was from "record sales" and one was from a "live performance". Neither was very large but they were there. Do either come close to being repayment for the time, sweat, and emotion spent on these artistic ventures?
Not a chance. Being raised in a broken family in a broken town forces me to understand being broke. The 2MERICA project has in it's many manifesto-wannabee's the line "Art for our sake" and I've always modulated on every single word there. I think Art? For? Our? Sake? It's all in doubt when it's all working right.

Damn straight it felt good cashing those checks but the money was spent on interest on my other debts before it even cleared. The joy was in the notice, the slow-build that 2MERICA has been forced into. We see if/when you stream or legally-download (sometimes even preview!) our music. We don't tour so please consider not bootlegging our tracks, and if you must, at least share it with someone if you like it. Pay it forward, like that movie with the homeless mom.

Respect -
Ezrazmus Elemento Jones of 2MERICA

Hey internuts:
Another week means another remix. Tonight I'm doing a live 2MERICA remix project along with some excellent additions from more robots than people on my table tonight. To combat these gadget ghouls I have armed myself with some fresh audio live from TV and some fresh tricks from my digits.
If you have any idea what any of this means, I'll see you at the Duck Island Club tonight. For those of you not enjoying life in Cleveland someday soon I'll be recording my set and perhaps sharing online somehow.
Ezraz

Looking good, feeling good. Celebrate yourself!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Cleveland, Ohio - May 19, 2010 - Looking to support local artists and start a new community service, multi-media and genre-jumping DJ Raz is launching “Northside Nights - Cleveland Music Night” at The Duck Island Club on the first Thursday of every month.

The elusive DJ Raz has over 15 years experience spinning records at clubs, on the radio, opening for bands, and has logged time in just about every form of DJ’ing invented. The common theme, he claims, is the community building and artist promotion.

“Spinning records used to mean a bit more, pre-iTunes. Having millions of songs accessible to mere mortals does not make everyone a DJ. But it does spoil us and to a certain extent, makes us lazy, when it comes to how we consume our music. I hope to put all the tenets of DJ’ing into the Cleveland Music Night: promotion, spontaneity, and community. We want local bands to take part, to hand-deliver their latest tracks so we can give them a spin.”

There are no genre or year restrictions on Cleveland Music Night, so you can show up with requests or music of your own. If it ties to Cleveland we will celebrate it, promote it, and give it some spins.

“I’m hoping this will act as an incubator, or at least a sounding board, for local talent” says Raz. “Back in the day local DJ’s had a big part in local promotion, and in most genres that is now history. Plus, I’m hoping to expand my knowledge of the local scene. Not many DJ’s would take on an all-genre gig, but that’s just how I roll. There’s too much artistic talent in Cleveland to let this void go unfilled.”

Artists, fans and street teams are encouraged to bring their tracks to the Duck Island Club, located at 2102 Freeman Avenue (off West 20th) on the first Thursday of every month, or email materials to raz@wfnk.com.

WHAT: Northside Nights - Cleveland Music Night
WHERE: The Duck Island Club, 2102 Freeman Ave.
WHEN: 9-close; 1st Thursday of each month: June 3, July 1, August 5...
WHO: DJ Raz  http://wfnk.com  raz@wfnk.com
