The BC Music Goodie Bag is back again with news, information, tour dates, and some streaming audio from some of your favorite bands (and maybe one or two you've never heard of). Unfortunately, I don't have any embedded video this time, but you can kick back and stream some new music.
Oh Captain My Captain
Joe Bowden is not only the drummer for this hot new Portland, Oregon band but he is co-owner, along with Matt Brown, of the independent record label that has released their first album. Bladen Co. Records was compared to Saddle Creek Records in the sense that both labels are committed to promoting their own local, home-grown talent.
Oh Captain My Captain is just one of those bands. They are making waves with their arena-rock riffs and were described by The 2007 MFNW guide as, "Kinks-ian rock that ranges from upbeat 'n' choppy to downright sweet." But you don't have to take our word for it… or theirs for that matter. Take a listen to the MP3 for the song "On My Mind" from their upcoming album Recklessly She Split The Sea and decide for yourself.
If you like what you hear, you can visit their MySpace Profile page for news, information, and more music.
Ferras – "Liberation Day"
For the video to this single Ferras teamed up with comedian Greg Johnson and it has been taking the internet by storm. Called "Naked Guy Running Across America," it features exactly that – Greg Johnson running in nothing but his socks and sneakers. Since its August 12 debut the video has been viewed in excess of 67,000 times.
Ferras has been seen on NBC’s Today show, The Tonight Show with Jay Leno and on CBS’ The Early Show supporting the album Aliens & Rainbows, which debuted last spring to critical acclaim.
If you haven't seen this video yet, check it out on either MySpace or YouTube.
