STREETNOTES!
I continue my love affair with Graffiti6 by opening the show with another track from their current EP and their much anticipated full length “Colours”. “Stare Into The Sun” was the lead track on their original self released EP in July 2010. The track was used by the Sun newspaper for their Tv ads of [...]

STREETNOTES!
I am very much feeling Graffiti 6 right now, every track is killer and so original as witnessed on our opening track, “Stone In My Heart”. UK producer TommyD and singer/songwriter Jamie Scott started collaborating in 2008 on material that would become Graffiti6.

We started the show where East coast amicably meets west in this spirited rework of Homeboy Sandman’s distinct indie-hip hop hybrid.

So let’s skip the first part of the show and get straight to that era, although I should mention [...]

Our show started this week with a thunder!
Betty Davis’s “They Say I’m Different” really states it’s claim! If you cannot hear it in her antics and amazing delivery then your’e not listening. Davis is a true original, call her the sexy, slanky outrageous female Sly, and maybe your’e close!
Betty Mabry met Miles Davis in 1967 [...]

It’s always nice to get something sent to you that’s unexpected! This was the case with VenueConnection an act I knew nothing about till they sent me some promos from their forth coming release “Madrid Boogie”.
