Posted in July 26th, 2008 by admin in Artist News Wordpress It’s always exciting to see an artist take control of their careers and move with the professionalism that has Major Labels scratching their heads wondering where they missed the boat. Whitehouse, with a blend of English and Spanish lyricism, is finding their way into a major arena of publicity. With a unique blend of influences crossing over classical, rock, and classic rock styles. Although they are no strangers to worldwide publicity (a variety of music publications and air-play around the world), they have taken more affirmative action by securing a television spot with "The Shield". The Shield is played on the FX network in the US and other networks Internationally. The show has recieved wide recognition for it’s controversial portrayal of corruption in the Los Angeles police department. With several Emmy nominations, and the contributions of extended roles from notable film actors such as Glenn Close and Forest Whitaker, it provides a great publicity opportunity for the band. Whitehouse’s current release, "Games", features 14 tracks and includes the televised song, "Cuentan que el". The CD, "Games", is available at Music Forte today. For more information and booking, be sure to visit the Whitehouse Official Website. |

WHITEHOUSE MUSIC AND GAMES IN THE ROSE GARDEN by Joey Stuckey I don´t know why the band is called Whitehouse,but perhaps a better name would be the United Nations,First,let me say that the guitar work is the best I´ve heard this year,I love it and it is obvious that Stephan Simon and Jose Amigo have spent time working on their craft. The guitar duo of Whitehouse provides the listener with alot to take in.From very Western pop guitar like you might find on Richard Marks or Chicago album to blazing flamenco runs and licks.For guitar lovers the guys just got to be heard. The songs are sung in both Spanish and English by vocalist Jose Amigo.I don´t speak spanish,but when Jose sings in that language,the music vocally comes alive.I would imagine that it is because of the flow of syllables in Spanish is different than English and the vocals just seem to feel more true both rhythmically and melodically when Jose sings in his native tongue. The bass is well done by Jerry Loeffler and fills in the botom with perfection.Jerry also builts custom guitars,whichis something I wish I could do.I saved the best for last.Yes,the drumming is damn close to world class and provides a rich rhythmic tapestry,so the music really grooves.Raimund Breitfeld,the extraordinary drummer of which I speak,should be a world class musician with his background of aclassical pianist mother and his early indoctrination with guitar lessons at theripe old age of four.He continued his education until he became an accredited music teacher in his own right teaching in Germany,Spain and Sweden. The sound of the band is unique without trying to be that way.I love the blend of styles they have meshed together.It´s interesting for those that are music afficionados,yet,still compelling for those that are avid terrestrial radiolisteners. I don´t know how to really describe their sound,you just need to take a moment and check it out for yourself;however,I will say that you need to like a bit of Spanish musical stylings.Even if you don´t though,I still suggest you check them out,as it would be worth your while. It´s a real testament to the true dedication and talent of the players in Whitehouse that they come from so many different backgrounds and yet they all can relate to each other and make music,that,despite is disparate elements,does have a sense of cohesion. Their current releases,Games is avaiable where you would expect to see Indie CD´s and it is well worth a visit to their CDBaby page to check out their audio clips. |
