BEAT CONCRETE playing music for change

Strings and Things

Have spent some time in the studio recently, completing Big Hit Song and doing some remixing on Open Now. Big Hit Song needs a little more mixing, but it's close. None of our songs are ever truly finished—they always need a little more work.

Also did some songwriting with a poet friend, adapting her poem and writing music for it and performing the whole thing. I actually love R&B and I did my best approximation of smoovness with her lyrical concept. Beki did some nice harmonies with me on it. It's up on SoundClick, where it shot up the charts to a high of #8 in the 'Funky R&B' category (out of 4,200 songs). You can hear it here.

Speaking of charts, we reached #1 on the Alternative charts for Chico, CA on ReverbNation. Not sure what that's worth to anyone, lol, but we're that our friends around the world have helped us get there. We have a great group of friends from the UK, Canada, Spain, Germany, and other countries that we stay in touch with. You can see some of those artists on our Recommended Artist page at ReverbNation.

We're playing at the DCBA Thursday Night Market on August 26th. Come one out if you're around.

Cheers,

David
