It’s your girl, WestStyle Chronicles back from another music adventure. Where did my travels lead me you ask? Well, to the front row of the Authenticity Tour with The Foreign Exchange. Always bringing their familiar flair of soul, they also brought their contagious concoction of comedy. Check out some of the pictorial and video highlights from their show at The Masquerade.
By the way, I’m gonna need a “Titties & Jesus Don’t Go Together” T-shirts for Sunday morning service, Phonte. If you give me a few more, I can give them to the “Mother Board # 2″ street team too! LOL! (more…)
Alright concertgoers and FE fans, it’s that anticipated time!!!
Time for the return of The Foreign Exchange, (Phonte + Nicolay) with Zo!, Sy Smith, Jeanne Jolly with the Authenticity Tour Wednesday, November 9th at 7pm in Atlanta at the Masquerade. If you unfortunately missed their last Masquerade appearance back in May 2010, here’s some footage to wet your whistle for November 9th. And if you’re not in the Atlanta area, here are the upcoming shows coming your way! Get your tickets NOW!! (more…)
Zo! was in the building at Moods Music on August 7 for the Music Addikts and Harmony In Life’s 1st Hit Listening Lounge. Host Jodine Dorce of Jodine’s Corner and Zo! chop it up in an intimate, “Inside the Actors Studio” fashion about his background and passion before music, how some of his hottest collaboration tracks came to fruition, who his musical inspirations are and even why he gives away some of his music for free! It was a great time as in-store fans and fans via Twitter alike got the chance to interact and vibe with Zo! Watch the videos and pics here: (more…)
I would file this post under: “Come by the house and see what album jackets are on the coffee table… oddly enough they have something in common, like you know, in the old days where multiple titles from the same label would show up in the queue, when the collective seemingly mattered as much as the individual release.” To that last point in my long run on opening statement: Sure, there are all sorts of collectives, groups, crews, but currently there are few that are as consistent across the board in producing quality musical output (both live and recorded) as The Foreign Exchange and their associated musical kin. BTW, this is far more a post of recommendation than review. (more…)
If you couldn’t get enough of Just Visiting Too, I know you’re about to bust a church choir two step for the release of Just Visiting Three!!! Bringing his familiar brand of soul, Zo!’s long awaited release is out TODAY!!! But to sweeten the deal, he will also be making an appearance at the Music Addikts & Harmony In Life‘s 1st Hit Listening LoungeSunday, August, 7th at 7:30. This fun affair will be hosted by the lovely Jodine Dorce of Jodine’s Corner and located at the one and only Mood’s Music. Because seating will be limited, you may wanna give your late friends the deuces and get there early!!! Hey, ain’t no need in both of ya’ll being late and standing in the back! :)
GFM Fam you already know the recommendation on this one… a must have for the collection. In these parts The Foreign Exchange harkens back to the days when musical products were released under a certain heading, banner, or (gulp) label, where you just knew that the quality of the output was going to be a certain level.
It’s ya girl, WestStyle Chronicles here to bring you another great event with our partners Music Addikts and Harmony In Life! In this special “Hot Mama” series, the crowd was entertained by the female voices of Gabbie McGee, Salakida and Carmen Rodgers. Check out their acoustic performance videos and some of the pics from the event. Oh, and you might catch some familiar faces like Phonte & Zo! from The Foreign Exchange in the house.
As always, we must give a huge shout out to our other great partners, Jodine’s Corner and Mood’s Music!!! :) (more…)
