Melt with this! Nu Bako Sound Fusion Challenge: Mix Bakersfield Sound and Modern English!

On Thursday, May 15, I'll stop the world, just long enough for you to melt with this! This one is for all of you experimental nu bako sound artists out there.  I'm beginning a brand new series on Thursday, May 15 at the all new Bakersfield Sound Underground blog site.

It poses a series of challenges to artists interested in carving out a whole nu bako sound TM by fusing the Bakersfield Sound of yore with myriad other genres, including 80s rock, Seatle-based grunge, punk, post-punk, new wave, alt rock, and something I refer to as experiMETAL TM. 

On Thursday, I plan to release my re-make of I'll Stop the World (and Melt with You) by Modern English.  There's no fusion involved with my re-make.  That will be your job, and your first Nu Bako Sound TM  Fusion Challenge. My song will appear on the future CD, 8Tease.  Your nu Bako TM re-make will be linked over at Bakersfield Sound Underground, and here. 

You will take this song, add a little bit of Bakersfield Sound flavor, either as a DJ mix, or a whole new altered cover of the original tune.  So, what do you say?  Are you up for the challenge? 

Remember, if you're not going underground, you're not going anywhere.  So check out the new contest Thursday at:

It's easy to get stuck in a rut, as a musician.  Don't be afraid to try something new.  Also, make sure that when you record and release your Bakersfield-Sound-influenced cover, you first review all copyright laws pertaining to cover tunes.
