4 tracks
 
 

Members: betsy bissell

i.ve recorded 90% of these songs with the sound recorder feature that came with windows xp, a microphone attached to a cheap digital camera, an acoustic guitar i bought at costco, occasionally my fender strat or my telecaster. lately, i.ve upgrade my recording techniques. but not by much

i started this music project in 2003, always having to play & sing quietly since my mother was sick, suffering from a long term illness in the next room.

my main influences for this project are:
elliott smith, neutral milk hotel, kimya dawson,
cat power, pavement, mirah, built to spill, daniel johnston,
the beatles (particularly john lennon's lo-fi home recorded demos),
street art, good friends, crazy ex's, as well as many other d.y.i. self-recorded/4 track music + musicians.


listen, read the lyrics.

email me
lofibuzz@hotmail.com

best way to get in touch with me is through my facebook..

facebook: betsy-alanna bissell [try first to contact] and "like" my quarantined past on fb

comment on any songs up on this site.

***********************************************************************************************************************
i.m looking for another guitarists/bassist as well as a vocalist [who can sing/harmonize in the style of the pixies' frank black and kim deal] to start recording music faster and louder. i.ve already got a drummer on board.

so if you.re in the southern Connecticut area get in touch with me on facebook or by email at lofibuzz@hotmail.com and put what you play as the subject.

for this band/project/whatever, i.m interested in a sound sort of in the direction of early modest mouse, pixies, pavement, the ravonettes, tapes 'n tapes, wolf parade, sonic youth, deerhunter, ect.. with the melody of a good beatles, elliott smith, helio sequence, velvet underground or built to spill song. and though i.m open to creating a sound with these musicians in mind, i expect nothing but originality from myself and everyone else.
*if you know anyone who might be interested, let them know!
