New music from Meridian and elsewhere

I was hoping to post a music video, "A Lot to Ask" by the Bloodsugars, in this blog. Unfortunately, the song contained the "f" word, and so is not Meridian Star material.

Instead, I encourage everyone to check out the Bloodsugars - a very catchy 80's-esque band from New York who once graced the Meridian's music scene with a very memorable performance - by visiting their myspace at www.myspace.com/bloodsugars, or watching the Bloodsugars' new video "Purpose was Again", which contains zero curse words, here:

The Bloodsugars' new EP "BQEP", on Engine Room Recordings, is available on iTunes.


On another musical note, Shielded by the Protector put on an excellent CD release show Wednesday night at the Meridian Underground Music Exchange on 22nd Ave. They provided not only some great local original music, but a sword fight as well (don't worry, the swords were made of foam). They also treated the audience to some lovely Yamaha keyboard demo music. Great show Shielded!

Shielded's new EP on S2S Records is available at Meridian Underground. If you like music that is Zeppelin-y and prog-rock-esque, go and check out Shielded by the Protector at www.myspace.com/yeticlothesline.

S2S will again be providing Meridianites with an opportunity to purchase quality original music made here in Lauderdale County when they release the Dark Sundays/Calamity Backpack split LP "Burden of Dreams". This album is in the final stages of production and will be available at Meridian Underground sometime in the very near future.

You might remember Dark Sundays (Logan Comby) and Calamity Backpack (Cory Brown) as recent Meridian 360 featured artists. If you enjoyed their videos on www.meridianstar.com, go check them out at www.myspace.com/darksundays and www.myspace.com/calamitybackpackmusic.
