Hey Folks, just wanted to update you all on our recording venture….the band is quite proud to finally be recording our next disc in our very own studio environment (TheSoundShack). This is the place where we fine tune all rehearsals and work out new material/ideas before we debut them. We decided to stick with our roots so we could have full access to all of our equipment and also be able to absorb the vibes and relax in our very own space. It definitely feels like home … Over the years, this studio has been a great sanctuary and has been such an inspiring place for us to make music.

Most Props and positive vibes go to our very own recording engineer/guru “THE JERRY FARLEY”. He comes to us highly experienced with his great resourceful knowledge in the recording industry...He also comes highly recommended by our original engineer “DAN KORNEFF” who recorded our 1st disc “Abstract Citizens”..

Dan and THE Jerry are 2 of the most incredible guys who have a very sharp knowledge of the recording process…Their experiences working in and out of major labels studios, Indie studios, Mobile setups, editing, production, platinum credits, etc etc, just demonstrates their loyalty to their craft. These guys are the real deal and we are extremely lucky to be able to have a great working relationship with them. The Jerry has officially become one of our very own BZQ family members. He’s found a new home and welcomed with the most positive vibes. We look forward in making a great record for all of YOU to enjoy. Anyway, hope to see you at the shows! Lots of good things to come….

11/5/04 – A Message from Alex:

Recently, Buzzuniverse has been in contact with quite a unique individual by the name of Al Aronowitz (Author,Journalist,visionary,friend).
In the heyday of the the 1960's, Mr Aronowitz was very well known for his POP SCENE music columns for the NEW YORK POST and his social endevours with many wonderful icons of that era. Aronowitz shared interviews and personal quality time with these legends (from Jerry Garcia to Sly Stone to The Band to Marilyn Monroe to Bobby Darin to Miles Davis,Rolling Stones,the Beat Genertion Poets Allen Ginsberg,Jack Kerouac etc etc) endless names of celebrity status, ...His columns were the most informative of POP culture and his writings were enjoyed by everyone..People on the subways,streets,newstands read and enjoyed his columns with anticipation.... Most importantly,he is the man considered responsible for introducing BOB DYLAN to the BEATLES at the Delmonico Hotel in NYC in the early sixties. It was also the first time the BEATLES had their 1st encounter with marijuana. Aronowitz was hanging around and living with Dylan at the time and finally had this opportunity to introduce these 2 legendary acts,as well as experience the discussion that Dylan shared with John Lennon about having a "smoke" to alter your conciousness during the songwriting process.....After that encounter, we all know what happened when the generation shifted and music took on an entire historical change of direction..Also a huge part of his Beatles story is his true personal friendship that he shared with George Harrison........Currently,Aronowitz has published his encounters in 2 books he is out to release..the books titled "BOB DYLAN and THE BEATLES" and the 2nd book is "BOBBY DARIN was a friend of mine"....These are 2 wonderful books about his personal time spent with these legendary acts.
Buzzuniverse is currently working on having Al Aronowitz join us at some of our upcoming shows for some "meet and greet" book signings and readings.
We are honored to have Al Aronowitz out with us so he can bring his stories and experiences to all music lovers and the public. This is a wonderful opportunity for us to collaborate with this legendary journalist/author. A great opportunity for our fans and all curious music lovers to COME OUT to our upcoming gigs with Aronowitz and ask questions, listen to some good music, enjoy a quality night out....His books will also be available for purchase along with our merchandise at some of the upcoming shows with our special guest. Stay tuned for more upcoming events with the band, more shows, more music, more love......join us for some interesting journeys----BZQ

2/9/04 – A Message from Alex

Hello Everybody, Hope the start of the New year 2004 has been a POSITIVE for everyone and those new years resolutions are still in effect, it ain't easy but atleast your trying to keep it together. I just wanted to take the time to make everyone aware and share some insight on YOUR local,LIVE original music scene. Do you realize the incredible talent in your local music scene in NJ? So many wonderful songwriters,bands,poets,actors,entertainers that are out there EVERY night of the week (not just saturday nights) trying as best they can to display their special talents in so many venues thru out the tri-state. Did you know that New Jersey has some of the most gifted artists in the country/world? Some of the most unique people live right in your very own neighborhoods. Did you especially know that alot of these artists and venues are struggling to keep the performing arts alive and kicking thru-out the state.

We all know that the daily work week can sure bring on the madness of routine and you find yourself repeating the daily,same ole functions day after day.Sometimes you have to say to yourself " I need a break and I want to try something completely different! " Well here's something you can do. Remember all those mailing lists you signed when you did get to a show. Well those artist sure haven't forgotten about you.....your still getting those reminders to come out and SUPPORT your original performing arts...please take the time to read the advertisements,flyers,emails,posters etc.. Also keep in mind that alot of bands and musicians spend their own pocket funds in making FREE cd's,stickers,giveaways,t-shirts, etc just so you can take home with you and share with your friends. If you can't make it to a gig,tell your friends who may be looking for something to do. Spread the word!! Please show your support and help develop your local music scene. Be a part of it! Show your love for the arts. Alot of venues are struggling to keep the music scene alive and inspiring. The lack of audience participation is proving to be so discouraging to many struggling artists in your communities. Many venues are even closing their doors permanently because people aren't showing their smiling faces and support. Please don't let this happen. The original music scene needs your SUPPORT and recognition. Don't let yourself get caught up in a world without art, especially in your communities. Explore the other creative options in your life. Be a part of it all... It makes your communities a better place to live. Show your Love for your music scene, show your love for your struggling artists, show your love for the venues... and most of all encourage yourself and your neighbors for representing and being a part of developing performing arts throughout your communities.

We love you all and thanks for your time.

SUPPORT ORIGINAL LIVE MUSIC...come on out to a show!! you'll love it!

HUGE thanks to Jilly for her cosmic recipes...It's been a blast!! The colored T-SHIRTS have also been a success so get 'em while you can when your at the shows.

8/30/03 – A Cosmic Event in Westchester

Universe's collide – Not previously to the knowledge of either band, Saturday's performance at the Bayou Restaurant in Mount Vernon, NY, was a double bill of Buzz Universe and Universe. Universe is a completely different band from the Bronx area who blew the roof off the Bayou, before we brought the Buzz. This was not intentional via the promoters, bands or booking agents, but more of a cosmic event!

7/23/03 – Special Guests Jam with BZQ Member at Whiskey Bar

At the tail end of Buzz Universe’s set at the Whiskey Bar in Hoboken, NJ, Claude Coleman Jr. (Ween), Freddy Moises (Buzz Universe), Sharief & Dan Green played Sexual Healing (Marvin Gaye) straight into You Don’t Know (Jimi Hendrix) into The Miracle (Sharief original). Pictures here.
