vosotros: music for you-all

hey you-all.

im still in hong kong until tomorrow, where the internet dips in and out, so i haven’t been able to surf, let alone check my email…but i finally got online, and checked this remix contest I entered for the roots…and im in 2nd place!  it features a sample of a song from the upcoming vosotros release, The Years.  This particular track features Sam Barsh on keys, Gene Coye on Drums, and myself on bass.  I took a day between shows to create the remix, only to find in the fine print that it couldn’t contain any samples…so i had to take them out.  so i decided to post the original here: criminal_vosotros_remix

it features samples from michael jackson, KRS-1, Public Enemy, and Biggie…

hope you enjoy it, and i’ll see you-all back in LA on sat.

we’re here.

I’m headin to Dublin this weekend to attend the Hard Working Class Heroes Festival. Not only will I get to see over eighty Irish bands in 3 days, I’m honored to be representing vosotros as an international delegate at the festival. I’ll be speaking on a panel about innovative music companies plotting “alternative routes” and participating in some mentoring sessions with local artists. I leave this afternoon and I’m getting pumped up. After the festival, I’m going to London to eat massive amounts of kebab and explore some opportunities to bring vosotros to you-all overseas. Stay tuned….

In other news, I want to give a massive shout out to Cord Phillips, an incredible recording engineer and close friend of vosotros. Cord engineered the current #1 song on the country charts - “Do You Believe Me Now” by Jimmy Wayne. ¡Boo yaaaaa! Cord’s tearin’ it up on the Nashville studio circuit right now, so hit him up if you’re looking to do some work down there. [He's also a good candidate if your Twisted Sister cover band is looking for a drummer].

Finally, John Wood’s Learning Music continues their residency at Tangier this Sunday. Joining Learning Music will be vosotros cohort Bobb Bruno, Tom Brosseau, and …. vosotros. plus … the show is FREE if you know the password …. “your glasses match your hair”.

see you-all in a few weeks…. johnG
