Founded in 2000, Blue 55, which is named after Glen's raggedy old '55 GMC pickup that they used to haul band gear with, has been playing in the greater Seattle area and the Northwest from the Olympic Pennisula to the foothills of the Cascade Mountains and from Anacortes to Tacoma and Gig Harbor and anywhere they're allowed. They play blues, R & B, and vintage rock and roll with a garage band feel and attitude. You can also check them out at their website.
Welcome a'board. Today's special really is something else. Have a flavour of the brand new debut album called Gasser Madness. I think it might be your cup of joe. Don't miss the BIG GO! If you like the stuff you might aswell wanna grab yourself a copy at recordheaven. net before it's too late. Limited as hell.
Thanks for the add! ECS will be opening in September to support musicians in the Puget Sound Region. THe location will be near Guitar Center in the Southcenter MAll area.
Hi there BLUE 55 first of all we'd like to say thanks for being our myspace pal. We wanted to make sure you knew the reason incase we suddenly vanish off of your friends list. The movement we've started for indie artists has grown significantly and consumes all of our time these days. We seldom sign into our myspace account and this is making several people believe that we are ignoring them. We are not ignoring anyone, we wanted everyone to know that. What we're doing has become so busy we just don't have the time for myspace any longer, so in all honesty we are probably going to just close our myspace account.
Many people wanted to use us in the future so if you were one of those people make sure you bookmark the link below so that in the event that we do close our myspace account you won't lose contact with us. I wish you the best of luck in your music career. Thanks again for being our myspace pal.
We have also built a pretty big music community which you are welcome to join if you want to meet new artists like yourself!
Hey friend! A couple of weeks ago GaragePunk.com endorsed Senator Barack Obama for president. This video by Larry Lessig (founder of Creative Commons and a proponent of reduced legal restrictions on c0pyright, trademark and radio frequency spectrum) does a great job of explaining the important differences between Obama and Clinton, so please watch it. We hope you will agree with us and support Barack Obama in the Washington caucus on Saturday February 9.
Bush/Clinton/Bush/Clinton for 20+ years is not change. Real change will come with Obama. Can we initiate that change? Yes We Can!
The Old Year has gone. Let the dead past bury its own dead. The New Year has taken possession of the clock of time. All hail the duties and possibilities of the coming twelve months!
Stopping by to say have a great Christmas month. Keep jammin' them blues, and rockin' the planet. Turn the Boogies on eleven, and fry them 6L6's in grease.
