│ ▓ Byron Bay, located on Australia's extreme East Coast is considered a │ ▓
│ ▓ special place, steeped in a spirituality that comes from the │ ▓
│ ▓ landscapes natural beauty, the peoples' love of life and a community │ ▓
│ ▓ spirit that reaches out to one and all. Introducing a man who is very │ ▓
│ ▓ much ensconced in this community, a regular worshipper of the waves: │ ▓
│ ▓ Kurtis. Kurtis, the man, is lead singer and founding member of Kurtis │ ▓
│ ▓ the band who have just completed their first album - 'Foundations'. │ ▓
│ ▓ And the music is? Musical producer of this album, Murray Burns │ ▓
│ ▓ (formerly keyboard player with Mi-Sex), loved the unusual concept. │ ▓
│ ▓ "No-one's ever done a live debut album before" says Murray . "It's a │ ▓
│ ▓ fantastic way to capture the essence of this R & B music. There is a │ ▓
│ ▓ mystery in his songs, it's hard to put a finger on just what is │ ▓
│ ▓ happening here." Murray describes Kurtis music as "soul/funk with a │ ▓
│ ▓ real Australian flavour". But he also says that's an inadequate │ ▓
│ ▓ description of music that really excites him as a producer. "I'm into │ ▓
│ ▓ songs, and Kurtis is a songwriter in the true sense. These songs have │ ▓
│ ▓ a really good funky rhythm, this music stirs my blood." │ ▓
│ ▓ With a tight and funky sound, great stage presence, a new album and │ ▓
│ ▓ committed management offered from industry heavyweight, Robert │ ▓
│ ▓ Raymond (Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs; Dragon; Split Enz), Kurtis ' │ ▓
│ ▓ time has arrived. │ ▓

│ ▓ As Australians, it is depressing enough to walk into the local cd │ ▓
│ ▓ store, and find little to no new local music on the racks. Instead, │ ▓
│ ▓ we are saturated with popular American artists, none of which have │ ▓
│ ▓ much idea about what 'music' really is. Here in our own country, our │ ▓
│ ▓ much loved bands and artists struggle for recognition, let alone │ ▓
│ ▓ anywhere else in the world. │ ▓
│ ▓ │ ▓
│ ▓ What OZMP3 is about is getting good Australian music OUT there for │ ▓
│ ▓ people to listen to. If its worth listening to, its worth BUYING. │ ▓
│ ▓ Australian music deserves nothing less than world wide coverage AND │ ▓
│ ▓ support. It's time people saw that Australian music kicks ass as │ ▓
│ ▓ much as their American counterparts (if not more so :) │ ▓
│ ▓ │ ▓
│ ▓ We believe in .au music... So should you... │ ▓
