LMFAO
Party Rock
will.i.am Music Group / InterscopeBy: Jabari Oliver
Meet LMFAO. They are the first dance electronic group in the history of party to be named after a rated R text chat acronym. LMFAO is made of Stefan Kendal “RedFoo” Gordy and his nephew Skyler “Sky Blu” Gordy (colors included). They keep your party live with their debut album “Party Rock.” They spike the punch, encourage endless drink shots all-day, instigate beer pong, and de-clothe the civil. Netted with co-signs from Black Eyed Peas’ Will.i.am (being signed to his Will.i.am music group along with Interscope, RedFoo attended school with Will.i.am aka Mr. Yes We Can Obama) and Motown Records founder Berry Gordy (who is RedFoo’s father – true story), they energetically aim to elevate the party with their witty style of music that challenges the form and the norm of dance electronica music mixing it with some vintage hip hop flavor. RedFoo is no stranger to the producer’s corner, he produced Ahmad’s 1994 smash hit “Back in the Day.” One can hear the resemblances in his production today. LMFAO prove to be versatile connoisseurs in their approach to their style of music. In a Vibe interview, RedFoo Hefner claimed, “We can go into an urban area and freestyle in a cipher..or we can go to a club and just dance out. We can talk to an Internet programmer, or we can talk to a crackhead. We are people people. And, um, party people.” Read more

CHECK OUT BRIAN BONZ AND THE DOT HONG’S FROM SUMI TO JAPAN
In 2007, Brian Bonz began writing new songs that would become From Sumi to Japan. By the time summer rolled around the band had begun recording at Seaside Lounge in Sunset Park, accompanied a newly solidified lineup as well as session musicians who played with TV on the Radio, Arcade Fire and Tom Waits.
With friend Chris Bracco (Kevin Devine) at the helm, mixing continued at his Buckingham-Nicks studio, allowing the group a brief refuge and change of scenery. The unusual opportunity to explore allowed the record to evolve fully, giving the group a chance to transform their songwriting both structurally and sonically. From Sumi to Japan will see digital release on July 28th and physical release on August 11th via Triple Crown Records. Read more
