Hello.
I've let this page slide a bit since getting into "myspace".
Yes, that's right, we all have pages there and we've have since moved to "Facebook" as well.
So here's the deal, the Buzz has a face book group, so we would like you all
to join our group and you will get our instant updates of shows and good stuff.
Here the link.
The Buzz group on Facebook.
Don't forget you have to log in.
So for now, see you at the group.

Hello from Rob Barrie & The Buzz
Well, last Saturday's sold-out show at the North Sydney Fireman's club was an absolute blast. Thanks to all who attended and a special thanks to Joe and the staff at the Firehall. Our dressing room was fantastic and the staff were super nice!! We'll be back.
For those of you who got there too late to get in (sorry) we have good news. You can find us this Saturday night at Rollie's in North Sydney from 10-2. Of course, our Friday night shows at Rollie's are always sell-outs so please keep this in mind and get there early for best seats.
You'll hear new tunes from Neil Young, Buck Cherry, April Wine as well as songs by INXS, The Killers, Guns 'n Roses, Nazareth, James Blunt and more.
Admission is $5.00 per person for those 19 and over.
See you there.
Rob, Steve, Tony and Allan

HEY BUZZ FANS
WELL, WHAT A BUSY SUMMER IT'S BEEN FOR THE BAND. OUR SHOWS WITH CANADIAN ROCK ICONS TROOPER AND CANADIAN COUNTRY SUPERSTAR GEORGE CANYON WERE JUST A BLAST TO PLAY AND A REAL INCENTIVE FOR US TO CONTINUE WRITING AND WORKING ON OUR OWN MUSIC AS THE FALL APPROACHES.
AT THIS TIME, WE ALSO NEED TO PUT TO REST THE RUMOUR THAT THE BAND IS BREAKING UP, WE ARE STILL VERY MUCH TOGETHER. WE ARE HOWEVER EASING BACK ON THE CLUB SCHEDULE (CHECK THE DATES SECTION OF THE WEBSITE FOR INFO). YOU'LL STILL SEE US AT SMOOTH HERMANS AND ROLLIE'S ON A REGULAR BASIS, MOSTLY BECAUSE THOSE TWO CLUBS GIVE US ACCESS TO ANYWHERE FROM 500 TO 1000 PEOPLE EACH TIME WE PLAY. AT THIS POINT IN OUR CAREERS IT MAKES NO SENSE TO PLAY FOR 150 PEOPLE IN A SMALLER VENUE 5 TIMES EVERY MONTH. INSTEAD, WORKING LESS FOR LARGER CROWDS WILL ALLOW US SOME FREE TIME TO WORK ON THE RECORD AND ALSO GIVE US MORE TIME WITH OUR FAMILIES. WE HOPE YOU UNDERSTAND AND CONTINUE TO SEE US WHENEVER WE PLAY IN OR AROUND YOUR HOMETOWN.
WORK ON OUR FIRST CD HAS PICKED UP AGAIN WITH THE BAND WRITING AS A GROUP FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME. OUR FIRST EFFORT IS A SONG CALLED "WHATEVER" AND IS FINALLY A REAL REPRESENTATION OF WHO WE ARE LIVE. IT'S FULL OF GUITARS AND VOCALS AND HAS A SINGALONG CHORUS THAT'S GOING TO RAISE THE ROOF AND PACK THE DANCE FLOORS WHEREVER WE GO. WE ARE VERY EXCITED TO SEE WHAT ELSE WE COME UP WITH IN THE GARAGE.
STAY IN TOUCH, DROP A LINE AT ROBBARRIEANDTHEBUZZAND OF COURSE COME OUT TO THE GIGS...............KEEP ROCKIN'!!!!

Hi
FYI...I had to remove the media for now cause we are only given 4mb of bandwith per hour.
So if one person decides to listen our song and then look at some pics, the page gets shut down for the hour. I know, it sucks.
You can still link to Tony's page and hear the songs.
Thanks for the support.
