RiO! Band of the Month: February – Buster Blue

admin — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 18:07:47 +0000

Of all the bands that were a part of our band battles in the month of february, this is the one band I honestly didn’t expect to win Band of the Month. Not because the music was bad but because my audience tends to lean a bit more towards the harder stuff (music not drugs…I think). But here they are. Kings of the hill and our RiO! Band of the Month for February: Buster Blue.

Hailing from the biggest little city in the world, Reno, NV, this band manages to combine an amalgamation of music and turn it into something unique, danceable and enjoyable. It’s western folk music combined with elements of swing and ska. If you’re interest has been piqued then make your way to their Myspace page for their songs, pics and more.

Congratulations going out to Buster Blue for daring to be a bit different and making it work.

RiO! Band of the Week – Buster Blue

admin — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 19:44:34 +0000

This week’s RiO! Band of the Week has got to be, hands down, the most different type of music ever to win a band battle. Primarily because the band promotes themselves as a western folk-swing group. Behold, from Reno, Nevada, the band known as Buster Blue.

When I first came across these guys and put them in the battle I have to admit I was a bit skeptical. I thought that they would get a few votes and that would be the end of it. But they managed to round up a ton of votes in their corner and grabbed the title fair and square. So who are these guys?

Buster Blue is a band that will make you dance. You might feel like you’re in a modern day saloon but you will move. With their barn burner “Damascus”, they incorporate a ska-swing feel to their music. I’ve never heard anything like it but I’m glad I stumbled across these guys.

Go to their Myspace page and check out their songs. They’re currently in the studio working on a new record so I’ll be looking forward to some new tracks. They are now up for the title of RiO! Band of the Month for February. Can this western folk-swing band pull off an upset and take the title for the whole month? We’ll see.
