Buzzy on Q101 tonight

Hey ho - Buzzy (sans Paul) recorded an (awesome) interview for the Local 101 show with (the extremely nice) Chris Payne (who bought us pizza and beer afterwards) last night. It's (totally) awesome. Totally.

He'll play (one or more) tunes off the new record, hawk our (upcoming record-release) show, and (hopefully not bleep out the best parts of) our interview.

Listen in, all y'all in the Chicagoland Area. Anybody outta town? Web it up!

Yours,
"Samantha" James Kamp (deep cut, yo)

P.S. Did I mention an upcoming record release show, now just 2 weeks away, November 24th at Hotti Biscotti, 3545 W. Fullerton? With cake and prizes? Hmm. I should have.

P.P.S. Our new record is really growing on me. I had almost forgotten, but it's not half bad. You should listen to it. Really. Check it out on the myspace.

Saturday, 11/24/2007 10:00 PM
Hotti Biscotti, 3545 W Fullerton, Chicago
3 bucks
 
Yo. Straight outta Logan Square, yo. Ruth Buzzy’s sensitive singer/songwriters will play all the hits from their new record, Vultures & Doves. Some solo, some together. We’re mixing this $h!+ up, yo! The record is done, you can hear it any time - get intimate with the songs themselves, man. (FYI - the record is AWESOME.)
 
For the occasion, old friend and deep-cut drum machine, Galen Gondolfi, will bring his brand new band, Birdleg, up from St. Louis, MO. To those who’ve never seen the man play drums: If you die now, your spirit will walk the earth, forever longing, forever unfulfilled. Don’t let that happen. Come to the show. If you care about a friend or loved one, bring them, too.
 
Prizes will be awarded to Most Punctual, Best Dressed, and Nicest Smile. Cake will be provided. V&D: Two years in the making, one night in the giving away. R.O.C.K.
 
Yours eternally,
 Buzz

Music Video Shoot

Hey, Ruth Buzzy webmaster Fuzzy Gerdes here -- I'm shooting a music video for the band this weekend and we need a small crowd to be "the people in the bar" and I'd love for you, hardcore Ruth Buzzy fan, to be one of those people.

The shoot is Sunday, September 30 at the Town Hall Pub (3340 N Halsted, Chicago). I'll be shooting crowd scenes from 3-6, so that's when I could really use you.

I'm going for something of a "timeless" feel for the crowd, so please wear clothes that aren't very modern or period-specific.

There are spots for a couple of "featured players" who will interact with the main character of the video. In usual FuzzyCo practice, I won't be casting those parts ahead of time, but simply grabbing people as needed.

If you can come, please shoot me an email so I have an idea of about how many people we're going to have.

Subterranean - May 31

Hey everybody!

Ruth Buzzy has been extended an invitation to play a show with our friends in
Overhang at Subterranean in the Wicker Park neighborhood of Chicago (2011 W. North Ave).

The show is Thursday, May 31st and is for people 18 and older. Bill Tucker band 9:30pm, Ruth Buzzy 10:30pm and Overhang is on at 11:30pm. $8 cover.

Checkout our myspace page for something.

Hope to see you there. Maybe Phil will be in shorts. Maybe Jim will tell you why he
loved Grindhouse. Maybe Paul will regale you with stories about the Cubs, and maybe
Matt will open his mouth and say something hurtful and stupid and regret it later.

Fondly,

Ruth \m/

NV Ultra Lounge, Normal - April 21, 2007

Greetings aging hipsters!

The buzz on the street is that Ruth Buzzy is going to be back in town April 21st at the NV Ultra Lounge (107 E. Beaufort St) in downtown Normal, IL. Our friends in Eva Hunter asked us to join them and how could we resist? They are making us play second because they don't want to follow our formidable live show. Kinda like The Who crushing the Rolling Stones at the Rock and Roll Circus back in 1969. So get your nap in before you come out and be ready to welcome our latest additon, Jim Kamp. His skills are so dangerous that the fresh faced college kids won't know what hit them.


Check out our myspace page at www.myspace.com/ruthbuzzyrocks for a new tune.
