Hello everyone
This is unofficial, but here goes. Rob and I are planing to record some demo tracks before the new year, weather and time permitting. You see, I have my new sound card and we have been somewhat waiting for this, so that we could proceed with our record. Although it is the Christmas season and we are busy doing gigs, Rob has been writing several tunes over the last few months and we want to get them recorded so that we can start working on them big time.
No holds barred anymore, Merry Christmas.

Hi Buzz Fans:
Fans of Rob Barrie's newsreading skills will get a charge out of the fact that it's Rob reading news clips on Bruce Guthro's new CD, released in Europe this month.
Guthro asked Rob to do a read through of actual news events from the past number of years for a song called "Jerusalem" on Bruce's latest CD "Beautiful Life".
A sample of the track can be found by clicking here
Rob spent 15 years reading news, most of that time at CJCB/K-94 in Sydney.
The vocal clips were recorded at Buzz drummer "Fast" Allan MacEachern's "MACE Studio" in Sydney this past summer.
Cheers

ROB BARRIE & THE BUZZ RELEASE FIRST SINGLE "NOT IN LOVE" TO RADIO THIS WEEK!
"Hi Buzz fans! Wow, this is this first time I've posted here in the close to 2 years the band has been together. Well, there's good reason. Our long-promised first single "Not in Love" has been released to radio! We've been performing this song live since almost the day it was written and are so glad to finally have it finished so we can move on to finishing our first full-length studio CD. (expected sometime in the first part of next year).
Now, here's why I'm so excited. The band would appreciate it very much if you helped us out by requesting "Not In Love" at a radio station near you. We are focusing especially on K-94 (94.9 THE CAPE) www.capebretonradio.com and
The East Coast Countdown www.eastcoastcountdown.com for the moment. I'll pass on other station info shortly.
The Buzz has only gotten this far with the support of people like you who come out to the shows and pay good money to see us play. It's a privelidge to be able to do what we love on a regular basis. To ALL OF YOU we are deeply grateful.
So, stay tuned to the website, there's going to be lots of information coming at you during the following weeks and months. And keep in mind, you can vote as often as you like for "Not in Love" at either THE CAPE or EAST COAST COUNTDOWN.
You can download a sample of the song here.
Now, let's keep rockin'.
Cheers
