Rahim Quazi - Club Dada 05/02/08
Rahim Quazi's singing style is completely unique and his songwriting skills shine through in his music. His Supernatural CD release Party was held on this night at Club Dada. His sound has a cross breed of genre's and a mix between Beck, Elvis Costello, The Beatles, Ben Harper, and the Nourallah Brothers. His original sound is accompanied by some of the best horn players in Dallas and his band is a musical buffet of genius. One of Dallas' best known bloggers ghostofblindlemon. blogspot. com .. wrote an album review about the new Supernatural CD singing praise for one of Dallas' musical treasures Rahim Quazi. A local fan favorite sure, hopefully soon be a worldwide fan favorite as well. Scotty Mankoff CrazyPictureGuy. com
I really enjoyed your show at Club Dada and am enjoying every second of your new cd! I know this is a delayed message, but know that I sm still thinking fondly of that night! I cant wait to see you in concert again.
Rahim, my friend! I had a blast Friday night... i definitely think it was a HUGE success and you looked like you had a blast, too! Thanks for ending the night on a great note!
Rahim my friend, I enjoyed myself so much at your release. That is what it is all about. What an incredible vibe it was and this will come as no surprise but I love the CD. Thanks!
i think she falls may be one of your best. the weeping guitar brought tears to my eyes and they fell down my face. i loved the swell and harmonies at the end. and always, GREAT, emotional lyrics. i love ur voice.
We enjoyed your Tale of the "Supernatural" on The Good Show last night! Maybe you and SAMPLE Press should team up and start a local ghost-hunting society. Spooky!
Only 4 more days until the CD release party... not that I'm excited about it or anything. OK, so maybe I'm a little excited. Okay, okay, by "a little", I mean a lot. It's about time the rest of the world gets to hear how great you are.
