From sources on the Audities list, I wanted to spread the word that the Canadian power pop band Zuckerbaby is working on a new album. Listen to some of the new tracks on the MySpace page. Nearly 10 years after the group formed, landed a major recording deal, played stadiums across the country and then imploded after losing their record contract, Zuckerbaby is indeed back, and this time the band’s priorities have changed. “We’re just a bunch of guys who love to make music,” said guitarist Reed Shimozawa. “After all is said and done, and all that we’ve been through . . . the biggest thing we missed was creating something, and the feeling of giving birth to music that at least four people in the room think is great.” Read more about it here.
Also I’d like to give a shout out to some new blogs posted by Stuart Jones, a huge music fan with a group of music blogs.
Mr. Obscure – a blog with lots of rare tracks
Punk Powerpop – more tracks from ’77 to ’83
Rare and Elusive – more hard to find tracks
Super Seventies Sounds – take a wild guess what era these are from.
Enjoy!
