Reshuffling the Deck

Summer NYC. It's a challenge to live here if you're an Artist / Musician trying to do creative work and still keep a roof over your head.

Just finished remixing two songs on our latest Blues CD, along with adding guitars and hand carving the wave amplitude for a singer with a great Country Blues song. Saw I had to pay rent and bills for two months!! What a surprise - getting wrapped up in music production and mastering while recovering myself from an earlier operation.... reality crashes in when you least expect it!

Talked with bands / Artists on Liquid Fusion (R) Records: told them due to deadlines and limited cash, we will release the above CD in September 2009; however, we have great songs and energy. We need to seriously pursue successful placement of our songs into films - such as indie films with Lion's Gate Entertainment and Sundance Film Festival entries.

We need to meet and get to know music supervisors who need great rock / blues / acoustic / country / R&B / funk / acoustic - and let them know they'll be dealing with a label with artists ready to move forward fast with all in order regarding permissions for licensing.

Bands to watch:

Sean Yox - making history gigging in Europe since April 2009. He's played in London, Germany, France, Italy, Belgrade, and soon Greece. He's been interviewed on German TV several times. What a great rock star!!!

The Kitchen - has NYC soul and edge captured in an explosive set that makes you realise good rock never went away - it's very much alive and kicking in The Kitchen!!! Miss this band at your own peril!!

The Liquid Fusion (R) Band - myself on guitar / bass, plus all the musicians I can steal away from the Kitchen and The Streamers!!! What's family for? We've had several rehearsals in late April 2009 that included the amazing bass playing of Devan Carter - brother of drummer / keyboardist, Kent Carter. Add in Bobbo Glaze (Electric Lead Guitar / The Kitchen), Brewer Shettles (Keith Richards / Stones "Double-Stop" Tele Guitar), and you have a rock instrumental band that guarantees you get up and move!!! Upbeat blues energy is what this band is all about. Love of life!!! We make people dance!!

Still waiting word on opportunity to gig from Mercury Lounge for all bands in one night. Stay tuned!! It will be a fun show!!

Angel investors are welcome - who think long-term and can match our vision of integrating film / music / clothing - cross-collateralizing talents into many profit centers.

Our motto: good energy coming together:

Liquid Fusion (R) Records
Liquid Fusion (R) Videos / Films
Liquid Fusion (R) American Clothing - TShirts
Liquid Fusion (R) Studios - commercial music production

We remain strong. Every No is one step closer to Yes.

We look forward to rocking your world and bringing you great refreshing talent and entertainment in the days ahead. Stop by the label and listen to some songs.
See you there.

Founder / Producer Liquid Fusion (R)
