Introducing Blayer Pointdujour

philebritylabel — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 19:19:40 +0000

Philebrity Label is proud to introduce the newest artist we’re working with, Blayer Pointdujour. A first-generation Haitian-American, Blayer is a singer/songwriter/producer/multi-instrumentalist whose work incorporates a globe-trotting array of influences from reggae and dancehall to 1977-style punk rock and many, many points in between. Over the years, Blayer has done lots of time as a ringer in hardcore bands, but we’ve loved him ever since he broke out on his own with the Access Card demo back in May 2010. Since those bedroom demos, Blayer has assembled a big band of his own, The Rockers Galore, played a slew of gigs, and most recently, completed his debut EP for Philebrity Label, Port Au Prince, which is available now on iTunes. Stay tuned for more news about Blayer Pointdujour, and in the meantime, take a listen to “Guns Of Philly” here:

Meantime, here’s what folks are saying about Goodness Gracious:

“..The sweetly tuneful album digs deeper into vernacular American music with swagger and style evoking Bob Dylan on “Sugar In Bed” and nodding to Bo Diddley on “King Cotton & The Little Star” – Philadelphia Inquirer

“Dickey and Mills write songs that snug into the grooves of your grandmother’s 78s as easily as they download into the mystery of your iPod” – WXPN

“The group [has] a sharp take on plenty of classic sounds, from rockabilly –tinged stompers to Bo-Diddley-inspired romps to fuzzy psych folk. It’s like a compilation of deep album cuts from lost records of 35 years ago.” – Washington Post

Blood Feathers To Deliver National Radio Address This Friday At Noon ET

philebritylabel — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 23:58:26 +0000

Fresh off two sold-out gigs in Philadelphia (one, Philebrity’s “Enchantment Under The Sea Dance,” in which they played a 32-song set of early rock and roll classics to a tux-and-poodle-skirted crowd of 600), Blood Feathers are set to perform at WXPN’s prestigious Free At Noon concert series this week.

The concert will take place and be broadcast live Friday, February 26th at noon ET from the World Cafe Live in Philly. All XPN “Free At Noon” concerts are now being simulcast via National Public Radio’s website – npr.org, and via online broadcast at WBFO in Buffalo, NY., KUT in Austin, TX., and Vermont Public Radio. The band is especially stoked to play this exclusive eight-song set on WXPN, where their new album Goodness Gracious, is currently on regular rotation, and in Philly, where there’s sure to be a capacity crowd.
