BOOBIES!!

Ok now that I got your attention, take a look and listen to this teaser for the song "Boobies" due out this summer.



Now take a listen to "Still Believe" from Supra1 (download the whole 8 track EP here.)



Ok here's another; this track is from 92 Eternal and is titled "The Feeling" you can purchase the EP here




Now what do all these tracks have in common?  Is it the funky club beat or the seemingly super-natural pull that makes you feel like someone hooked your spine through your belly button and is compelling you to dance?  Well maybe, but what resonates for me is the powerful voice of the singer on each of these tracks.  That would be the uber powerful voice of Amy Douglas

I have known Amy since we were 11 years old.  We spent our teen years singing together in chorus.  She up in the soprano tier and me hanging with the boys, as usual, on the tenor rise.  It was always tons of fun and Amy has always been destined for stardom.  I could spend an hour talking about all the times Amy and I ended up singing Meatloaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light" at this shitty bar across the street from my job after waaaay too many Jaeger shots.  Or I could pontificate on the time Amy dragged me nearly kicking and screaming into my only public performance at Don Hill's.  Honestly, no one talks about Amy like, well, Amy.  She is a pro a promotion and knows how to work her stuff to the max.  She is a veteran of the NY music scene and a born professional.  In her own words she is a "Diva vocalist. Bulldog Lover. Jimmy Page worshipper. And a big nerd."  

You can see Amy with her band Koko Dozo below.  Amy and Polarity 1 make up this dynamic duo that pump out tunes that make you feel like someone tucked you inside a capsule and blasted you off to Saturn only to crash land on some unknown planet in front of their hottest dance club.  If you heard vocals and a beats like these pumping out the door, I dont care if the population of that planet is comprised of one eyed, one horned, flying purple people eaters, you'd still risk it and head inside to get down!

Maybe one day I will interview Miss Amy so she can finally acknowledge who her REAL influence was.  So without further adieu, here is Koko Dozo performing their song "Boomchi" at Tubway in NYC.  Boomchi, btw, was featured on Showtime series The L Word.
