"Lorenzo Goetz is back with a handful of new tracks that stay true to their funky, hip swaggering brand of rock that is as well suited for a shady dive bar as a chic hipster hangout."
- Nick Murray, Justaddnoise.com (Wylie, TX)
"Heavy is serious fun."
- Laura Hamlet, Playback Stl (St. Louis, MO)
"groovy and soulful and sure to get you on your feet."
- Brad Amorosino, Erasingclouds.com (Philadelphia, PA)
"like what I imagine Sublime would've sounded like had they grown up in Michigan instead of Long Beach and listened to more Beatles and less Marley."
- Nick Murray, Justaddnoise.com (Wylie, TX)
"a heady mix of creative wordplay, fun sounds and friendly pop music The Beatles might have made - if they had emerged in 2004."
- Laura Hamlett, Playback (St. Louis, MO)
"The challenge for a Lorenzo Goetz album is to stand on its own, even if no studio recording can compare to the bacchanalian revelry that makes Lorenzo Goetz such a popular concert draw.Nor can a single song epitomize the pudding of pop, hip hop, Brit and stoner rock, and mariachi that more or less is Lorenzo Goetz, although "Muy Macho" and "Flagrante Delicto (3some)" come close. Two sides of the same coin, the former is coy and buoyant and signals that this album means business, while the latter is a sultry slow-burner that conjures images of some Gypsy tea parlor an hour inland from the Mediterranean. "
- Todd J. Hunter, The Buzz (Champaign, IL)
"as much flavor and grooves as a bucket of peppers."
- Crookedcamera.net (Minneapolis, MN)
"Groovy jams with interesting rhythms and sounds. Lennon-style vocals and songs, only with indie attitude."
- Hybrid Magazine (Denver, CO)
"(Jesus Elephant) actually lives up to the generally ridiculous praise bands heap upon themselves, gently infusing strains of the Fab Four into its own distinctly Americana sound."
- Leo Weekly (Louisville, KY)
"This whole disc just grooves."
- Jordan Schwartz, Openingbands.com (Champaign, IL)
"A little hip-hop, a generous helping of mellow rock, and a dash of retro make for a musical delicacy."
- Meghan Groth, The Spectrum (Buffalo, NY)
Boltini Lounge will host sonia+andy's second annual Black Party on Sunday, January 20th starting at 9pm. The Black Party is a mid-winter masquerade with a fashion, fetish, and fantasy flavor conceived by sonia+andy, two former New York City Club Kids, who have built a reputation for throwing some over-the-top themed parties, including the 3-year-old White Party at Soma Ultralounge. Last year's inaugural Black Party drew a diverse array of hipsters, scenesters, and gawkers from across the area, and was quickly dubbed "the wildest party in town"; this year's event will feature deep underground house by DJ Mertz, lighting, effects, and decor by a-w-e-d, surprise performances and appearances, two up-lit go-go platforms, a fourteen-foot-tall Victorian birdcage, and special giveaways from Jack Daniel's and Finlandia Vodka. The evening promises to be an unforgettable club night for downtown Champaign. No Cover+No Dress Code+No Attitude!
DOG THE BOUNTY HUNTER IS A RACIST FUCK! Duane "Dog" Chapman has officialy been outed as a racist. Imus was bad. Kramer was worse. But this fucking redneck takes the cake. When Dog's son started dating a african american girl, his father gave him an ulltimatum. Either break up with her or lose your job at the bounty agency. Apparently they use the word "nig***" so much, they feared she would record them saying it, an broadcast it to the world. Below is the link to the phone called, recorded by Dog's son, where the Dog's true colors are shown. FUCK YOU! YOU RACIST PRICK!
big ups to his son for recording this an putting it out to the public, instead of ending a relationship with someone he cared about because his father wasn't comfortable with her skin color, so he could continue participating in the tv show.
