Bumtech
"Face" from the CD
Beware Of D-G |
Bumtech's Sharon Schloss and Jonn Walterscheid have been cranking out their brand of New Wave since 2005. Citing the Legendary Pink Dots as their "favorite band"along with the Smiths and Cocteau Twins as creative inspiration, they create a sound not unlike the bands they enjoy listening to. Their new disc, "Beware of D-G" was recorded and produced by Sean Flora and sounds very good. They are also very funny and allow this explanation of their odd name: According to Jonn, "Bumtech is a consulting firm for slacking off. If you’re tired of getting out of bed in the morning, call Bumtech. If you want the bullshit in your life to lose all importance, Bumtech is for you" (Gaycondo, 3/31/08). See them on tour in in the NW this summer.
Band members:
Sharon Schloss - bass, vocals, keyboards, programming
Jonn Walterscheid - guitar, vocals, programming

| Brady Beard |
Brady Beard says, "I always have the guitar with me...." It shows in his approach to playing the instrument. Rattling off triplets and shuffle rhythms with ease, connecting blues and funk riffs effortlessly while singing his heartfelt songs, Brady is a flurry of musical energy . He came down to the studio and busted out this live performance quicker than you can say "lickety-split". As is often the case when someone who plays as passionately as Brady Beard steps up to the mic.... acoustic rock mayhem reigns. Watch for Brady's debut release this fall recorded by Jeremy Wilson at MastanMusic studio.
The band is:
Brady Beard - vox/guitar
