Throughout
history, Louisiana has shown an amazing musical
resiliency which would be quite difficult to
match by any standards. Rarely has there been a
locale which has consistently churned out unique,
time-tested popular music the way this southern
state does. Perhaps it is the vast blend of
cultures or the south's deep roots, or maybe it
is the devil-may-care attitude; the motto for
locals being "Laissez les bon temps roule
", (let the good times roll). From Leadbelly
to Louis Armstrong; Professor Longhair to the
Nevilles and Dr. John, always there was music of
the highest quality. And now this tradition
continues as is evident upon one spin of the New
Orleans' quartet Joy
Buzzer's second CD "Joy
Buzzer vs. the Critics from Europa".
Besides opening for acts such as Alanis
Morisette, The Smithereens, Pat Benetar and
Better than Ezra, Joy Buzzer has been featured
live on the CBS local morning show The Early
Edition, ABC's local evening news. They are
frequently rebroadcast on Cox Cable's music show
LTV and Louisiana Jukebox, for which the band had
made several command performances. The band was
also chosen by Mountain Dew to use two of their
original songs to pitch soft drinks in regional
television commercials. In addition, Joy Buzzer
is played on the popular alternative radio
station The Zephyr (106. 7) and the band's first
CD was chosen number one in Zephyr DJ Trey
Blossman's annual pick. They been featured or
reviewed in virtually all of New Orleans'
premiere entertainment publications.
Joy Buzzer was formed in early 1994 and is
comprised of vocalist/rhythym guitarist Greg
Mariano, lead guitarist George Neyrey, bassist
Andrew Herrera, and drummer Eddie Melara. With
influences ranging from David Bowie to XTC to REM
to Cat Stevens, diversity is one of the band's
many strong suits. And they are a band that plays
for the song. |
