are proud to announce BLAUDO - b l a u d i o


http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/blaudo


This album plays like a live set from one of the tightest Rock & Roll bands you will ever hear:  Grinding, high-quality tonalities of the epic Les Paul/Mesa Boogie combination and serpentine, melodic MusicMaster bass-lines laid out on a bed of slams reminiscent of the Hammer of the Gods & drizzled with lyrics covering topics of Capital Punishment, smoke, outer-space twins and worldwide debauchery.

In 1995, Trey & I met and joined forces in the band SHAFT.  We moved it to CA in 1997 and met Yash, who immediately joined SHAFT.  In 1999, SHAFT turned into MUZZLELOADER & the band continued playing venues in Orange, Riverside, Los Angeles & Ventura counties.  In 2004, MUZZLELOADER dissolved & I took a hiatus in Chicago, to hone my singer/songwriting skills and clear my mind.  At that point, Trey & Yash recruited Kentaro, a longtime friend of MUZZLELOADER, and began BLAUDO.  After many songs were written, I began working on lyrics and vocals & the recording project b  l a u d i o was set in motion.  Trey put the final touches on his Recording/Mixing process, Mastering duties were passed to Todd Averback and the album was complete.


We are extremely proud to present to you

In other NEW RELEASE news, I am proud to announce that BRANDY REPAIRS UTAH — BEAUTIFUL DREAMER Vol. I & II is now available on Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/Brandy-Repairs-Utah-Beautiful-Dreamer/dp/B004RCMNZM/ref=sr_1_13?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1299869097&sr=8-13 &

Recorded in a tucked-away studio in Sherman Oaks, a bass, an Udu & a mouth with a pile of typed pages set out on a journey down the road of excess into the palace of wisdom. A contemporary take on the beat/jazz integrations of the Sixties, tastes of Coleman, Parker, Davis, Kerouac, Burroughs, Ginsberg swim in and out of one another to create this truly wild ride.

And of course, not to take a back-seat in the progress department, OOLYAKOO is also busy at work: Currently finishing the shooting of the WORMWOOD video, planning the next tracking sessions & expanding our web presence. Visit our also evolving website: www.oolyakoola.com

Yashi is out on a 2-week tour, but Kentaro & I thought it would be a good opportunity to get out and do one of our bare-bones acoustic sets. If you’re in the area, you should stop by and have a pint with us. Cheers.

as well as at several other venues: Rhapsody, Napster, Emusic, LimeWire, CD Baby (http://www.cdbaby.com/cd/oolyakoo)
So we’re in more places than ever without going out at all.
OOLYAKOO is in the studio weekly, rehearsing and recording. A single may be released soon & a conceptual video piece is in preparation.

BLAUDO has been on the shelf for a few years”¦ but the tapes have been dusted off & pulled out of nowhere,.. a 9-song album ( b l a u d i o ) is on the edge of being released. Currently the songs are being mastered by a buddy of mine over at a major label. Out of obscurity and into the dream. (For those of you that don’t know BLAUDO = Yash on drums, Kentaro on bass, Lyle on vox,.. & the big guns on guitar, Trey Creager {guitarist of SHAFT & MUZZLELOADER fame} who also gets extra credit as the engineer, producer & mix-master of b l a u d i o )

Needless to say, a lot of work and a lot of fun has occurred”¦ & before long the fruit from this tree will become more available. Stay tuned.

I enjoy sitting behind the curtain and watch how many people listen to the music on this page. There is no telling the numerous ways it has been linked, downloaded, passed-on... but it seems as if someone is listening. Then #s continue to grow with each month,.. and yet... I don't know who the fuck you are.

I'd like to know.

If you accidentally found this music and you liked it, or it bothered you somehow, let me know. Leave a review on the Visitors, join the email list or Contact me via email...

Poetry & Poetry http://thatslyle.com/news.html#178 This weekend has proven to be a swirl of poetic energy.  On Friday, my latest poem was published on Terrence Moss Presents.  It was a spontaneous session that bore the work titled "Bird".  Please visit the link below and enjoy:

In turn, I got a message from the bassist of BRANDY REPAIRS UTAH.  He had read my poem and it inspired him to revisit the mixing of the original recordings of B.R.U.  Throughout the day, I've been receiving emails from him with the mixes.  Truly subversive and spontaneous windings of bass, rhythm & poetry:

As well, I was lucky enough to live near a theater screening the latest film about The Doors.  It doesn't take much to entertain me when it comes to Morrison and the boys.  If you're a fan at all, keep your eyes out for this film.  It was nice to see some footage I haven't seen and to revisit the 54-month long career of this band that changed the landscape of rock and roll:
