ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: WELCOME TO HOLLYWEERD

Thursday, January 24, 2008

♫ Hollyweerd - Have You Ever Made Love to a Weerdo?

The newest splash on to the MySpace hipster scene is Hollyweerd with their funk-jazz-soul-hip-hop fusion hit, “Weerdo.” Pictured from left to right, The Love Crusader, Tuki, The Dreamer and Staggo Lee, make up the fearsome foursome that music columnist and critics have called “Beatles-esque.” Regardless of whether or not you agree, you can’t deny the feel-goodness of “Weerdo,” with its pulsing baseline and warm saxophone interlude.


Performing to sold-out crowds and not even being able to keep promo CD’s in their position anymore, Hollyweerd is most definitely a band that you need to be on the look-out for in ‘08. The roles have switched. You used to laugh because they were different - now they’re laughing, ’cause you’re all the same.

Make sure you check out Hollyweerd on MySpace and let them know CL sent you! Also, be on the look out for more music and updates about their project.

Why does Brian only promote Atlanta artists? Spread out a bit more man. I’m sticking to Angel’s artist spotlight’s atleast she is switches it up.

These fools sound like a broke-down Outkast.

#4, I’m from atlanta - so when I see artist that I like perform, I post about them because I have seen them live and know what they can do.

don’t worry though! we will be posting about other artists soon, because we’re in the process of setting something up. it should be interesting. :)

I like it. And yes they do make me a little reminiscent of Stankonia, but its better than Soulja Boy and that blasted T-Pain mess.

Its hard trying to be an individual and market to the urban audience. But I support these “WEERDO”S”

10.

UM...I GUESS

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

yea i def hear some outkast influence….but um…i can appreciate their attempt at doing something different.

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

I like the sound..Very Stankonia/Love Below-ish..I like them though.. I do agree with #9 Still Tragic..It’s hard to promote not-so-mainstream kind of music to an urban audience..Hopefully they will go far, tho.

I like the beat…A LOT!! You’re right you can’t deny the bassline and the saxophone. The groups sound does have an Outkast feel to it! I love CONCRETE LOOP’s Artist Spotlight!

i actually liked the song… the intro reminded me of Andre 3000 .. The sax was HOT, i might add. I love me some JAZZ!! I can see myself listening to more of their music for sure…

28.

Not bad. I kinda like it and I’m really feeling the saxophone solo at the end.

It was alright but the first guy sounded like an Andre 3000 wannabe to me.

33.

WeezyBombaclotDifrentChick

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

its okay…but ima stick to my outkast they rappin slower than Wayne and Wayne is the slowest i can take. that’s why I cant handle houston rappers lol…too dang slow. And the dude in the first verse remind me of T-Pain too much.

34.

WAKEFIELD

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

THANK YOU BRIAN for this one. Been following these guys for a lil minute. Their sound is innovative and they dont really sound like outkast. They maybe reminiscient of them but not the same exact sound. But who isnt in the industry. KOOL KEITH- KANYE WEST/ BEYONCE-DIANA ROSS/ AMY WINEHOUSE-JANIS JOPLIN/ T PAIN-TEDDY RILEY/ CHRIS BROWN- MICHAEL JACKSON/ I COULD GO ON FOR DAYS. everybody is a copy cat. MACY GRAY-NINA SIMONE

This sounds a lot like Organized Noise. It’s sounds like something Sleepy would make. I’d have to hear more than this to be sold, because this sounds a bit gimmicky.

39.

C MOVEMENT

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

I have to say, I am feeling this track…Brain you are correct once you see a performance it gives you a totally different out look about the song.

This single does not require no performance for me to see the direction these young men are headed, however I would like to see the performance because I like good music.

Support these raising star while the other fall…this goup has the potential to stay in the sky

Oooo i love this!

41.

gg boo

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

To me listening to the first few minutes sounded Outkast-y, but i’m sure they have other songs with more of their own flava.

The second guy, Tuki looks like a cross betweem Malcolm X and Q-Tip.

42.

yup ....you right

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

uummm…I wouldn’t buy it, but its cool. but dudes are definitely biting Andre 3000 style, and not even Andre 3000 curent style like Outkast Atliens album.I mean i get that they are trying to be creative, but usually that means coming with somethin original and innovative and just becuz you switch up a few words with spaceship (whip) and wierdo (playa or thug) and talk/sing in a lazy flow and add a few space age soundz dosen’t mean this is different or creative.And what is up with the picture of these dude, they like some old washed up dudes who didn’t make it years previous and decide to group up. i am sure they would probably be good LIVE group like this usually are. the song just o…k

43.

CherishTheDaze

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

Sounds like Outkast but bout time Brian a song that is actually good. He always says “I can definetely appreciate….” UGH…enough–not EVERYONE is good!

But I look forward to these guys doing something, I could stand another Outkast…+2.

44.

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

the song sounds dope but do they have anything else withe a more up tempo….

46.

Connected

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

This shit is HOTNESS! Since they’re from ATL, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’re connected to Outkast, but they’re dope in their own right. Breath of fresh air if you ask me, and there’s DEFINITELY room for new energy in the biz right now. Hollyweerd needs to head straight to Los Angeles ASAP! I’ll be at the show with the rest of the artistic, fashion savvy, creative peeps when you come!

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

I’m sorry but I can’t deal w/ this type of music. It’s too…I dunno…there’s something extra weird…and not in a good way!

Altho, I do like that so many artists are trying to different, trying to break the stereotypical mold of what music is ’suppose’ to represent. But this is just…wow…I’m like speechless!

YAY!!!! This song is the shit!! I am happy that these guys are getting their shine on!! Everyone that is from atlanta and a little weird does not have to be compared to Andre’. There is alot of leftist musical talent in the “A”, but this song is definitely one of my favorites:)

Its hard trying to be an individual and market to the urban audience.

^^^ It sure the hell is. The urban audience seems to be less open to creativity imo.

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

Yeah def like another person said they remind me of Outkast, I didn’t love the song but it was alright, something u can def get used to after a bit, I likes the fact that they is being fresh, not many artist do genre collabs at this extent especially when your representing Hip Hop.. But it does sound like hippi music to me for some reason ;p lol

75.

ummmm

Thursday, January 24, 2008 /

A BUNCH OF TRY HARDS…THERES NOTHING DIFFERENT ABOUT TRYING TO BE OUTKAST
