Music Hype

Cavalier Rose is a rock band that is situated in Brooklyn, and has been “touring” and appearing in several venues as well as websites, in which you can hear their live versions of their music. Cavalier Rose first formed during 2009 after the band members have gathered together to talk with one another about music and other subjects. After some rehearsals the band started recording themselves and releasing their material in independent digital distribution websites, where they offer their albums for cheap and offer some tracks for free.
The band moved to a sheep farm to record their sessions, which is reminiscent of Red Hot Chili Peppers’ famous session. During the recording they were aided by engineer Dave Raymond, who is also a friend of the group.

Once the group finished recording they returned to New York to appear in front of an audience, and they have been doing so every since, and you can see them play in small places, if you so wish to.
They so far released only two albums – an EP called Primary Colors, which is their main album, and an album of demos from October 2009, both of which they offer completely free.
The band originally started in a dorm room, where part of its members – Garrett and Chase, who only met during a visit to Philadelphia, due to them living in completely different locations. They were both undergraduates in the University of Pennsylvania, where they were for four years, which allowed them to play music together, privately or publicly, and exchange musical tastes and interests.

After they graduated, the two met other musicians and played with them as well, until they found who would be later on their band collaborators, in Brooklyn. They later on recorded some demos together and later on found a singer to front the group.

Get Busy Committee, which is also known as GBC for short, is a hip hop group consisting of three main members, but have other people’s contributions on their tracks from time to time. Their songs feature samples from various sources, rapping, DJing (such as scratches – of other material or their own), and plain singing. The combination makes for a vibrant outcome, which talks about subjects such as growing up in the 80s, with rampant drug use and poverty, which is talked about in the track Razorblade.

The group is located at Los Angeles in California, and it started operating in 2009 but had prior experience in the field. The three members include Apathy, who was previously known as Apathy the Alien Tongue, who is an underground rapper and producer, as well as members Ryu and Scoop DeVille.
They jokingly call Get Busy Committee the outcome of joining two Mexicans with a white boy.
They sell their albums independently through their website, and via digital distribution websites – such as Amie Street, where you can get a sample of their tracks.

The Get Busy Committee has stated that they are influenced by acts and artists such as Eazy E, Bell Biv DeVoe, Boogie Down Productions and others. Their production stages are handled by Scoop DeVille as well as Apathy, but the actual tracks are contributed to by all of the members of the group.
So far they released only one album that they released independently using their own funding, which is getting some buzz in various websites.
They support their act by selling tracks and accessories – such as t-shirts, CDs, as well as disk-on-key devices with their music on it, which are shaped like Uzis.
They are also promoting themselves via social networks like Twitter, flickr and YouTube, and have a blog and message board.
