Hello you awesome person, you must be cool b/c you liked Magenta Sunshine! A little bit about the band: All of the members live in Asheville, NC and all of us have other musical projects. Basically, the Magenta Sunshine record (only 5 songs) came about when I (Dave Einzig) met Lenny Pettinelli (a wild Sicilian bro born and raised in Los Angelos) We literally live a 3 minute walk from one another. I had just moved from New Orleans, Louisiana to Asheville and Lenny had just moved from Northern California to Asheville. We became friends immediately and Lenny (because he's such a badass musician) already knew the roster of players on the Magenta Sunshine record (there are 8 musicians and over 10 instruments played on the 5 track record). It took us about 5 months and 400 hours to make this thing...Yikes, I have never typed that out...that's a lot of time. BUT, I live to play/write music and I was freaking out b/c I wanted so badly to record some of my songs. Little did I know that Lenny was down the street just waiting for some original music to come along. He and I clicked immediately. I brought in the drummer who I'd been jamming with (Jon Deleon, from NYC) and our collaboration acted as the foundation to make this record. We called upon some of the best horn players I've ever met (JP Furnas and Jerome Whidenhouse) to lay down the horns. They're other projects include "Common Foundation", "Empire Strikes Brass", "The Squirrel Nut Zippers", and "The Roaring Lions". JD Smith of "Phunkle Sam" and "Duke of Lizards" laid down the bass! Definitely got lucky and all the guys ended up liking my tunes. So, the rest is history, it's recorded. We have so much more music that we're working on, it's inspiring to know that YOU, yes YOU reading this actually took the time to enjoy our music. If you find the time, please like us on FB and share any link you have to our tunes with any friends you have who would like our music. It's so appreciated. Thank you for just reading this far. If you have any questions or critiques of the music or if you just want to say "Hi". You can email me here: magenta.avl@gmail.com I really look forward to making your acquaintance soon! Best Luck David M. Einzig My New Orleans project, "Hopetoun" will be releasing our full-length record on October 20th. Lenny (the Sicilian who produced Magenta Sunshine) is also helping me finish up the Hopetoun record. 8 Piece band, the funkiest stuff I'll have ever released! So, New Music Coming Soon! Thank you again.
