ARTIST SPOTLIGHT: WELCOME TO HOLLYWEERD

♫ 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.

Wow ! Mixed this track ????? Love the reverb on the guitar at the beginning, love the compression on the vocals, love the panning and placement of the instruments in the stereo spectrum. Love the reverb and compression on the Sax, love the punchy kick.
Love the spacy effects on the vocal at the beginning of the track and I love the fact that the track is not overly squashed. Nice song too, lil “Outkast like” but good…

I’ve been watching da Dreamer and artist like him try and come up in the Atlanta scene.

This music is it.

You don’t see too many young cats listening to smooth music as much as we listen to snap songs here in the A. But the whole WEERDO MOVEMENT provides an alternative that still grasp attention, atleast my attention.

plus… i play they saxophone so i can appreicate a saxophone solo…

This music is it.

I like their look but they definitely took a page (if not the whole damn book) from Andre 3000. I like Andre, he lives in my lap. But these dudes need to stop biting. That is all.

They remind me of outkast and t-pain but I like the song and especially the sax solo part. I hope they play them on the radio instead of the bullshit we are used to hearing.

Just like anywhere, in Atlanta there’s a sound, rhythm, dialect, slang, cadence, all of that. Just because the vibe is similar to Outkast don’t mean cats are biting. Usually, it goes back to sharing a foundation in artist like Kilo, Organized Noise, and yes OutKast. When you’re setting up from the same building blocks and history - things will sound a certain way on the surface. Don’t confuse the foundation with the inspiration tho. I dig this, I’m gonna be cruising all around A-Town to this.

After one listen, the wack lyrics remind me of Pretty Ricky. However, I LOVE the interlude at the end. The whole song should’ve been just that! The song as a whole might have to just grow on me.

Hehe… They are cute, just like Cartoon. Recently, quite a few celebrities were said to appear on the hot singles’ club interracialromancing.com. OMG!!! They are indeed so

Brian…proofreading is for real writers…try it some time!

“Performing to sold-out crowds and not even being able to keep promo CD’s in their position anymore”
CD’s in their position?! Riiight.

“Hollyweerd is most definitely a band that you need to be on the look-out for in ‘08.”

Hollyweerd…a band?! Staggo plays the sax. Okay. That does not make them a band. Be for real!

Well I love this song. To those of you that say they are Outkast reminiscent….duh because Stankonia is there second home and Andre 3000 is a huge influence on them. They do not sound like them, you have to hear other songs. Like my favorite “Summer Breeze” ….Lupe Fiasco fell in love with thsi song and had them open up for him once in Atlanta. So haters continue to do you……HOLLYWEERD is doing big things.

Maybe Im a little biased because im friends with one of them and Im from Atlanta.

This is straight ring tone music. They sound like left over outkast…

What exactly makes these guys weirdo’s? The fact that they wear tight jeans and shop at urban outfitters? pshhh

The whole spaceship intergalactical shit is played….Outkast and NERD are the only ones who can still do that.

The world’s ears need to hear music with substance, these fellas don’t make the cut.

144.

crown stays on

Wednesday, February 6, 2008 /

Ehhh. Music is going to hell. I yawned throughout the track.

There is nothing fresh or innoative about the song. Spaceships and weirdos?
We’ve all heard this before, if not from the legendary Outkast then from N.E.R.D.

Tight Jeans and Dunks don’t equal weirdos….

atl has a knack for making ring tone songs, and this is definately another one.

but hey…thats just my opinion.
