Heavy Soul :: Black Pumas Bring ‘Fire’ To FIP Radio France

I’ve been lucky enough to know Adrian Quesada for a number of years, and it’s been amazing to watch him reinvent and adapt himself to the ever-changing musical scenes.  The one consistent that you can count on from Quesada, however, is funk, and he’s kept that run going with his latest project, Black Pumas.  The project, a collaboration with singer Eric Burton, has hit the ground running in the form of a record deal and an LP on the way, and their lead single, Fire, is already making waves.  Black Pumas recently made a stop by FIP, a French radio station, to perform the track Fire, and in true professional fashion, they knocked it out the park.  Check it out, share it around, and be sure to support!

Things We Lost In The Fire

from the digital desk of The White White Lights:

———————————————-

The bad news: as you might have heard, our house was one of the many lost to the fires in Bastrop on Sunday. Jonas was able to grab most of his guitars and one amp, but we lost everything else in the studio (keyboards, pianos, bass rig, recording gear). Our family and friends helped us set up this account for any donations if anyone would like to help us on our way to rebuilding soon. 

The good news: Our show in San Marcos tomorrow night was rescheduled, but we’re still going to play at the Highball this Sunday, September 11 (we’ll borrow or find some gear somewhere). We also saved the hard drive containing the two EP’s that we’re releasing in the next month and a half or so (we wanted to get it printed in the next few weeks but have a lot to take care of).

Thank you all for your messages and support. This has been a crazy few days for so many of us.

Love, Jonas and Jenny of tWWL

Jonas is an old friend of mine, and a super creative cat.  Please do anything you can, if you are able, in order to help this wonderful band get back on their feet.
