The Bizcast Volume Twenty 2010-08-28

Recorded Live underneath the Gypsy House for Moe Velez's Quarter-Centurian Celebration of Celestial Proportions, or his 25th Birthday. We had a blast mixing with In.Surge.Ant as well as The Peacock Revolution and a secret guest DJ known simply as BBCee who snuck into the madness.

The original recording from this evening is over 3 hours long and features a solo set with P Buck and DJ BBCee, and set from The Peacock Revolution as the whopping headliner set from In.Surge.Ant. We decided to cut it down the just the 30 minutes of The Biz set to keep things succint this time around. You can see some video of the eveing at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQzSzqVWt1A. The Denver cruisers had a furries theme this same night and many of our friends in attendance were still wearing their animal costumes. It was definitely a night to remember!

Next up on the slate is the Best of the Bizcast Vol. Two. We will be spending the next couple of months sorting through the archives of Bizcast Vol. 11 - 20 and picking the best 80 minutes of music. This is going to be a crazy arduous task as we have recorded easily over 12 hours of music in the past ten Bizcasts. Stay tuned for a release sometime in November as we will be celebrating a year of playing together as The Biz!

Until Next Time, Cheers!

The Bizcast Volume Nineteen 2010-07-24

The Bizcast Volume Nineteen 2010-07-24




We are very excited to present to you Volume Nineteen of The Bizcast featuring a massive amount of live instrumentation. The sampling and beat machines have taken a back seat to the musicianship and improvisation of midi keyboards and multiple synths and bass sounds. You will hear Tim and Phil both playing ample amounts of the sounds that you hear on this Bizcast. We are finding more and more that each time we subdue to our desire to just play music that this form of performance is our forte. We have always been players of music and that passion is rising to the surface of the Biz artform. What you hear in this episode of the podcast is another live performance from The Gypsy House in Denver, CO although this time our friend JP aka The Peacock Revolution was not able to perform with us. We definitely missed the vibe that JP creates but his absense also gave us a chance to expand our set up and try out a few things we haven't done before. We will be looking forward to his return in two weeks when we will also join forces with Moe of Denver local band, Gravity. We hope you enjoy and look forward to the Best of the Bizcast Vol. 2 which will soon be in the works after only one more Bizcast!

We are very excited to present the first collaborative Bizcast which was recorded live at the Gypsy House in Capitol Hill Denver, CO. Every other week our friend JP aka The Peacock Revolution hosts a session in the basement of the Gypsy House where djs and instrumentalists blend their work with visual presentations by our resident projectionist DiagonaLeigh. This recording is from Wednesday July 7, 2010 and features of 2 hours of live mixes from The Biz and The Peacock Revolution. The sets occur in a trade off style in which one dj will mix until the next group can slide in and transition to their own set. The transitions are mostly seemless, so for clarification sake we will list the times that each group was mixing. Also we should disclose that JP is mixing his collection of vinyl and The Biz is mixing digital samples and looping live midi instrumentation. At times you will hear a blend of both groups playing together.

0:00- 10:00 The Peacock Revolution.
10:00- 1:18 The Biz
1:26 - END: You will hear each group trading off about every two songs as well as playing together toward the very end.

We are happy to release this episode because it has been nearly two months since our last release. Lots of Biz shows are booked for the summer, so we ended to release the live recordings of these shows more often to get back on the grind. Enjoy!

The Bizcast Volume Eighteen 2010-07-17

THe Bizcast Volume Seventeen 2010-04-17

The Biz is back at it again! After a short break and a good two week tour of the South-east, we have settled back into our own digs and gotten back to our roots of home recording. While out on the road, P Buck had his bass swiped by a guy asking for some major karmic trouble. On the upside of that situation, we have been taking our sound in a more electronic direction which means we are simplifying our rig and leaving our instruments on the sidelines for now. In this Bizcast, you will be hearing a lot of remixes of pop tunes as well as Biz tracks. Coming in at one hour and fourteen minutes, this podcast is a doozie of a listener... but stay tuned and you will find its filled with many worthwhile surprises.

The Bizcast Volume Seventeen 2010-04-17

The Bizcast Volume Sixteen 2010-03-13

This episode of the Bizcast spans more than 24 hours of our beat making shenanigans. We did our regular live stream on Thursday Night. On Friday Tim and Leigh and the crew went to see Maceo Parker. After the show, Phil and Tim mixed some live tracks for about 2 hours. You can hear a bit of it here.

The Bizcast Volume Sixteen 2010-03-13

The Bizcast Volume Fifteen 2010-02-27

This is the final Bizcast before the release of our debut album, The Ancient Future. After March 2nd, the Bizcast will be taking a turn in a different direction as we begin to prepare for more live shows and also start implementing some of these new tracks into our performances. This episode is no exception to the changes that are coming. In this performance you will hear some live versions of pieces of a few songs that are forthcoming with the Ancient Future. At this point it would be very difficult to know what you hearing, but for future reference the songs "Dialectic," "Moon Phase," "Exact Change," and "Universal Mystic" have all been secretly mixed into this Bizcast.

The Bizcast Volume Fifteen 2010-02-27

The Bizcast Volume Fourteen 2010-02-20

This is the second to last Bizcast until the Ancient Future. The album will drop 03/02/10 and we are very excited to start lining up tour dates. We hope to see you out west or down south in the spring as we promote our debut release as The Biz. This week's Bizcast was well attended by good friends. It seems as though Thursday nights may be the best bet for internet shows. Enjoy roughly forty minutes of our fully improvised jam and look for highlight videos as well. Tune in next week for the last Bizcast before the Ancient Future. Also on Tuesday, Feb 26th we are asking all our friends to change their facebook, twitter or myspace status to "The Ancient Future is coming..." in support of the release one week later.

The Bizcast Volume Thirteen 2010-02-13

Oh, the number 13. This week's BizCast is special in a numerical sort of way in that it's the 13th BizCast and it has been released on February 13th. We feel this is a sign that the Ancient Future is eminent. Another hour long, completely improvised jam session, this BizCast was really fun to produce and we are very excited about all the things we have planned for the upcoming months. Stay tuned for more!

The Bizcast Volume Twelve 2010-02-06

This is the edited version of our live stream from Friday Night. Bizcast Volume Twelve was not as well attended as last week, so we may try to start moving the weekly stream to Wednesday or Thursday. The visuals by Leigh this week were very excellent as we began to incorporate more of our logo and official artwork from our upcoming release Ancient Future.

Video Bizcast Volume Ten 2010-01-23 Highlight #2

This jam was really intense and the floating lamps in the middle of the clip really brought things together. We enjoyed this clip a lot especially because it was the last jam of the night.

The Bizcast Volume Ten 2010-01-23

Volume Ten was a hit! Thursday night we set up the rig much earlier than last time and managed to make this episode exactly an hour. Look for video highlights to be released later this weekend on YouTube. The vibe was very different than the previous times, but we feel it was much tighter and seemed to wander into many different styles over the evening. We changed times in order to make plans on Friday night. We were all in attendance of first Elm and Oak party in Denver, CO and it was off the hook. Very inspiring. The time for the next Bizcast is still up in the air, so stay tuned and we will post an announcement on Facebook, etc.
