The Casanova Playboys are now being added to Top 40 radio stations! The Single "Burlesque" has not only managed to gain momentum with their fans but also on the airwaves. They were first featured as band of the month at their local rock station, Sonic 102.9 FM and now have crossed over to Top 40 at such stations like 91.7 The Bounce in Edmonton and Chum FM in Toronto.
Stations across the country are also spinning "Burlesque", a tight and animated pop treasure that you would have sworn that Beethoven would have wrote if he were alive today. The guitar sizzles and the piano drives. The vocal prowess of Jamie Star brings a sense of urgency that sensationalizes and over-all arouses the ear making you definitely want to hear more.
The Casanova Playboys is a band you don't want to miss! With songs like "Out Of Control" and "So Not Sorry", this band is headed for bigger things and will make their mark in the musical world. Low Noise, the playboys debut album was produced by Jonathan Fluevog in Vancouver and mastered at Sterling Sound by Ted Jensen in New York City.
Be sure to request "Burlesque" at your local station and stop by www.casanovaplayboys.com to view the group's website. We hope you enjoy the music.
"...There's not a bad track on this album. Why aren't these guys huge stars yet?"
Sandra Sperounes, The Edmonton Journal
"...Low Noise, a slick affair of radio-friendly pop-rock on a funk foundation that- like the group- isn't afraid to show a little gloss."
Zoltan Varadi, ED Magazine
THE MUSICAL FORCE
Let us rewind to just over a year and a half ago when The Casanova Playboys embarked on a naive and ultimately disasterous trip to Vancouver from the flat and desolate prairie lands of Edmonton, Alberta.
At that point, the band had high hopes; only to realize that certain members were just not ready. Some departed, leaving the trio of Jamie Star, Zack Action and Will The Thrill to fend for themselves in East Vancouver while surviving on Kraft dinner and canned tuna.
Suddenly, fate stepped in and united the three with Josh Posh, an extremely talented guitar player. "Low Noise" was born.
After 6 months and a few shows in Vancouver (including an offer to play with NYC pop gods the Scissor Sisters), the band was in financial ruin. Recording costs proved too expensive to keep up with, while supporting the band's musical passion was but a dream. In reality, the band was broke and starving.
A job offer was placed on the table to Zack Action from a media outlet back in Edmonton. With nothing but shame, the band admitted defeat and moved back, leaving their guitar prodigy behind. Not all was lost however! Longtime friend and Bass sensation, Mitch Magic stepped in. With sudden determination to succeed in the music industry, the band saved and saved only to sporadically return to Vancouver over the next year and deliver what would be the first real Casanova Playboys experience.
"A year from hell" is what certain members could call it, but who can complain when the force that is driving you, is an undeniable appetite and thirst to do something different - something timeless - something excellent. Finally, after a few nocturnal months in the studio, the record was finally accomplished. And that brings us to now ladies and gentlemen...with many obstacles a band faces in their midst, the Casanova Playboys shall overcome! Produced by Jonathan Fluevog, and mastered at Sterling Sound, NYC by Ted Jensen, look for The Casanova Playboys brand new 14-song "Low Noise" LP in stores soon!
