“Live music.” That common saying may contain some truth, but these days the word “live” is having less and less to do with music. For many individuals, a DJ is their form of live music. Despite what DJ ’s would like to have you believe, artists make excellent entertainment.
In the 1st place, individuals enjoy human performance. many artists like excellent athletes are multi- skill ed. They will croon on the tenor saxophone right to your soul, then turn around and chunk out a funky rhythm on a Fender Stratocaster. may a DJ performance a turntable behind his head or with his teeth? Professional artists love to sing and groove on just about any style of music from a Frank Sinatra to Outkast. They especially enjoy playing when the fans is responding to their performance.
In the second place, artists are students of the arts. Musicians do not merely “push buttons.” They’ve had years of practice in their homes, and they do their thing on stage. Un like DJ ’s artists do not try to sing over or add other loud or strange noises to program music. Once a song begins it flows to the end and in the unfortunate event of a power shortage artists may continue to entertain acoustically until power is restored. Even non-professional artists a number of times understand “the show must go on” idea.
Finally, one of the the majority attractive features of bands as entertainment is the affinity amidst them and their fans. Watching a excellent drummer is never boring because they are never ending ly moving…feeling. An animated solo violinist playing an old wooden Stradivarius violin has a much greater opportunity of reaching into your soul and stirring your emotions than a DJ with an array of magnetic speakers and digital amplifiers no matter how excellent his system sounds. It’s an apple trying to be an orange. It’s the difference amidst human blood and electricity.
Contrary to popular opinion, bands may be affordable. Just like with a DJ, finding a band well in advance and securing them with a low down payment, the price may be negotiated to avoid costly or inadequate entertainment. Bands will even throw in a free cocktail hour or an extra half hour at the end to capture a date! many bands are now offer ing ” DJ time.” This is when the artist hat comes off and the DJ hat is put on to performance the Techno, House, Hip-Hop, etc…Genres of today. individuals who have small events ought to appreciate these characteristics of bands. Still, many individuals who have large events opt to have bands because they love the artist individual ity. In many ways, artists are the ideal entertainers.

Live Music Blog Flashback-Bell Biv Devoe

SyncWordpress — Thu, 22 Jan 2009 21:43:46 +0000

Live music blog flashback- Bell Biv Devoe. Back in the early 90’s, Bell Biv Devoe or BBD as they were known were blowing up the world of hip hop/r&b. I saw a show recently on VH1 and I think they mentioned them and where they are and what they are doing. They came to mind when I received a BBD jacket from a friend today who was involved with them when they did the world tour in 91′. Kind of a crazy looking jacket with about ten different segments that were made up of all different colors.

BBD hit it big with “Poison” and the classic “Do Me”, and their album Poison sold over 3 million copies. The group was a spinoff of the mega selling group New Edition and consisted of Ronnie Devoe, Michael Bivins, and Ricky Bell. The group followed up with the album WBBD-Bootcity that was certified gold, but never reached the level of the Poison album. BBD put out a few more albums and reunited with New Edition in 1996, but have basically disappeared from the landscape of the R&B picture.

Ronnie is now a real estate agent in Atlanta and still part of New Edition. Michael Bivins got into producing and had some modest successes and now works for Puff Daddy at Bad Boy Entertainment. Ricky, I couldn’t find much on but he is working on independent projects and in fact released a very good album in 2000, that reviewed well, but didn’t sell well.

Apparently BBD was back touring in 2008. I would check it out if they came to my city to relieve that magic time and music.
