The Buddha is Back! To know The Buddha is to love his unique, infectious havin’-a-good-time style. If you’ve never seen these guys, you’re missing out on one of the most fun and exciting Blues acts in the Tri-State area. Come see Tommy dance with the crowd and get the whole place in a groove.

D’Amato Music Review
D’Amato Music Review

Tonight at 10pm ET & 7PM PT on “Rockers In Recovery” we will be interviewing 2010 Prism Award nominee Laura C. and we will also have Anthony D’Amato from the awesome rock band D’Amato on the show.
“We’re all looking for a renaissance here,” explains the group’s founder and frontman, Anthony D’Amato. “Now we have that opportunity and it’s amazing. This music is just as poetic as it is aggressive. Darkness meets hope in a barroom brawl. It forces you to lace your boots up and get ready for the fight. There’s always that ‘F*ck you’ element to it. We really hope to bring some chaos back into the world of rock.”
Everything you’ve heard about D’Amato is true. Their sound is defiantly forward-looking and truly fresh in all senses of that word. “The music is very aggressive,” says bassist Dave Filice. “But the live show is the real rush because there are no safety nets.”
Working with accomplished producers has been an advantage for D’Amato from the beginning. After recording with producer Bryan Carlstrom (Alice in Chains, Billy Idol, Offspring) and Grammy winning Producer/Engineer J.J. Blair (Rod Stewart), D’Amato reached out to a friend, Grammy-winning mixer and engineer Thom Russo (Jay-Z, System of a Down, Audioslave) to complete production and mix the four-song EP.
With several television (ABC,NBC,MTV) and film licensing deals to their credit, and a five-star rating on iTunes, D’Amato has excited and enthralled crowds all over the US and beyond with not only performances, but a rapidly increasing internet presence. “The internet has been extremely effective for us,” says D’Amato, “For example, on myspace.com, we had an international listening audience within 48 hours. People are still hungry for music, and the Internet has made it easier for artists and fans to get around the fire.”
What makes D’Amato stand out is a devil-may-care outlook honed by precision and professionalism.
“We’re all looking for a renaissance here,” explains the group’s founder and frontman, Anthony D’Amato. “Now we have that opportunity and it’s amazing. This music is just as poetic as it is aggressive. Darkness meets hope in a barroom brawl. It forces you to lace your boots up and get ready for the fight. There’s always that ‘F*ck you’ element to it. We really hope to bring some chaos back into the world of rock.”

My name is Glen C. and I am in Recovery,
I grew in Washington State near the Canadian border and early on in my life learned value of hard work and that has stuck with me ever since. Working on fishing boats in Alaska in my late teens, probably had something to do with my work ethic too!
I have loved most forms of music as far back as I can remember. Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Merle Haggard, Ernest Tubb, Jim Reeves, Marty Robbins and many others from that era is what we listened to in our house. My love affair with Rock and Roll didn’t actually start until my late teens. Then I discovered FM radio and Van Halen! I spent many years going to concerts, listening to radio and devouring as much of this music as I could.
To this day, I still have a very wide variety of music that I listen too. My playlist can go from Black Sabbath to Brandi Carlile to classical music and back to Elvis, in a heartbeat.
A few years ago I was given the opportunity to get into a side of music I hadn’t experienced before. That side was promotions and marketing. I fell in love with the challenge of creating something out of nothing.
My site, the Northwest Music Scene has grown into one of the largest music only networks in the Northwest. We like to call it the digital equivalent to a gig poster. Through this site we have been able to expose some extremely talented people to others that would not normally have heard of them. Starting only four months ago the Facebook page is nearing 12,000 fans and nearly 6,000 on Myspace. Our brand new website will be launched soon so stay tuned for some exciting details about that.
My other venture is called Recovery Palooza. Because of my involvement with VIII Days Clean from the promotions side of the band I had the opportunity to see how lives were being affected in a positive way through music. I decided that I would like to do this in more than just the Northwest.
The first Recovery Palooza tour is going to happen in August of 2010. The tour is going to be paid for by VIII Days Clean and it will stretch the length of the West Coast and they will play with other recovering musicians in clean and sober venues along the way.
Recovery Palooza and VIII Days Clean is part of a global recovery movement. We aim to break the myth that recovery is boring and no fun. We have found just the opposite to be true!
I am also very excited to be a Co-Producer of Rockers in Recovery along with John Hollis. John has been extremely generous in including me on this most incredible journey…and you know what folks? We are just getting started. The best is yet to come!
You can find out more about Recovery Palooza and the Northwest Music Scene by looking us up on Facebook.
