We can’t resist noting when a local artist or band does good in the World Outside. Spin and Rolling Stone reviews are pretty rare for Cincy bands on small labels. But not for Wussy! Proof our scene is growing.

CityBeat Feature on Play It Forward
One of the coolest charity projects I’ve been involved with in a long time was mastering this new 2 CD set for Cincinnati’s new music support group Play It Forward. Play It Forward was founded by former WLW host Gary Burbank (who happens to be a very talented drummer, originally doing sessions in Memphis!), and is working to raise an endowment to create a sustainable fund to help needy musicians cover health care costs.
That would be reason enough to support the record (and the show, Thursday 3/12/2009 at The Madison Theater) but the 30 track disc is pretty interesting too: With a diverse range of artists, genres and tempos it represents our community well. I was pretty honored for the opportunity to work on it, and I hope the mastering does the performances justice!

Lest anyone forget the most unique and inventive regional band of the 1990s, the Buddha Den has hipped us to a brand new Brainiac Live Archive Project, including a free MP3! Assembled by a super-fan, this collection fills a big hole in the discography of Dayton’s greatest noisemakers. Leave it to the people to rock us out.
