Hey friends.
This section is to showcase Dave’s favorite unsigned bands/musicians who are out there right now.
Here at Black and Greene we get a fair amount of submissions from amazing artists looking for a home.
Since we dont exactly have the operating budgets of a major label… there are lots of times we would love to work with a band, but lack the capital to do so.
It’s really sad, and obvious, that band’s today who dont have a good knowledge of the system, deep pockets, or a label going to bat for them, have little/no chance of being heard by the masses.
It’s bullshit.
Myspace is a cluster fuck.
Band’s now can put songs on Itunes through aggregates like Tunecore, but who the hell is looking for them?
Friends? Family? The artist him/them self?
Well, it’s not like this section is going to change the world.
We hope we can shine a light on some amazing musicians who could use some more attention.
If you would like us to check out your band, please send us a submission.
No not an MP3 (shittiest sound quality in existence) but an actual CD or what have you…

1st BEST UNSIGNED ARTIST AROUND:
ANDY MENUDO
From what I know about Andy (which is from our few conversations)
We’ve gathered that he played/plays in Mittens (a fairly well known Boston area band) and he writes for the Harvard paper.
He is sweet & smart and well dressed.
We also learned that Andy writes amazing songs.
A friend of mine who has seen him play, told me he uses an ipod as the backing band and runs around the room with the microphone singing to the crowd.
Sounds high-larious.
I am attaching an AIFF file of one of his songs.
We think it is amazing.
His voice is beautiful.
Andy should be a huge name.
Andy should be on a label and playing songs for people up and down the coasts.
I started this section because of people like Andy.
So if you like this song, go to his myspace (www.myspace.com/andymenudo) and tell him.
Go to ITUNES and download his record.
Support.
Don’t hurt the people it really affects.
