This is just your everyday, run of the mill CD release announcement as performed by a slightly French, talking robot on You Tube. If I’ve seen that once, I’ve seen it a thousand times. The Baby Grands II is due 11/16/2010 from Backspace Records, but don’t take my word for […]
Late last week, Funky Mama’s first musical “Moo Juice” opened in Olathe, Kansas. All shows are now sold out (!), and by the looks and sounds of this here clip from the show, the packed houses are in for quite a treat. Enjoy a snippet of “No Sleep Tonight” from […]
