Bumbershoot 08! Keep checking back!
BEEHIVE
Beehive is
the Seattle Rocktronica duo that you need to see. I mean,
you need to check them out. Do it now! Two worlds collide
when Bufferfly Beats opens her laptops beginning the
backbone of Beehive and David Miller busts out his rocking
arena guitar riffs. Both of them deliver the vocals to what
the Seattle Weekly has called "Seattle's most exciting
Pop.Indie.Electro duo." Last year produced the release of
Pretty Little Thieves which has earned Beehive national
radio play. Performing at Bumbershoot has been a goal of
Beehive throughout their music careers and the day has
finally come.
MARIQUEEN
(WEST INDIAN GIRL)
Mariqueen is
the vocal beauty of West Indian Girl. Beyond being an
outstanding vocalist, Mariqueen enjoys the occasional
modeling opportunity. Sometimes as the face of West Indian
Girl and others just as herself. She has graced the pages of
Warning and Harp magazines. Her style is one to be praised
and her calming attitude makes you feel like best friends.

Here is more awesome stuff from
Bumbershoot 08, and more to come! Keep checking back!
PWRFL POWER
Kaz from PWRFL Power is a soft
spoken musical powerhouse. Currently living in Brooklyn, Kaz once called the great Seattle
area home, where he was hailed as one of the top music acts
to watch out for. The nation got a hint of Kaz when he was
featured in one of those awesome animated Esurance
commercial. You should check it out on YouTube after
watching the below video. It is a great commercial. Kazutaka
Nomura was born to an architect and a calligrapher in
Hokkaido, Japan. Kaz studied Classical and Jazz guitar and
then when he moved to Seattle at age 18, began college
studying musical composition. With his schooling in music
and his desire to write simple songs, PWRFL Power is set to
take the indie world by storm.
HANNIBAL BURRESS
Hannibal has been featured on the Late Late Show with Craig
Ferguson and just aired his first standup special on Comedy
Central last month. Late in September he will be recording a
special that will be shopped around to festivals. What I
love most about Hannibal is that when his set is over, he
goes out and supports his fellow comedians. Comedy has a
true community that is missing in some of the other area of
arts. I feel honored to meet the "Funniest man in Chicago,"
which is a title that he doesn't take too seriously but you
have got to think it is fun to have that title. After
talking with Hannibal
I think Time Out Chicago got it right. Hannibal is the funniest man, that I know of, from Chicago.
