C-buz: What's the band's history? How did you guys all meet up and start making music?

Rex Sharpe: We’ve all been playing music together in some form for years. I first started playing in a band with Stu around 2000 or so in a band called Role Reversal.

I’m so excited with what the scene in Columbus is turning into...people are trying to come together to build something...

Don’t tell me this town ain’t got no heart

C-buz Summer Awakening

2011-04-14T23:13:51Z

The weather is warming up and C-buz is coming out of its winter slumber. There's been a lot of things going on around Columbus, and it's time to get the ball rolling.

DiHi Records

2011-04-14T23:17:15Z

As vinyl enthusiasts ourselves, I'd say it's safe to say people like to look at an album, hold it, maybe even throw it on a decent system before making a leap.

Born Mountaineer

2011-04-14T23:14:21Z

There is a risk involved in writing songs and singing about what is going on in my head--especially since I have a family to answer to and a job to go to in the morning.

Even if you don't like my stuff right now, keep listening because it's constantly morphing.

The Fork

2011-04-14T22:21:32Z

C-buz: What sparked the idea to do shows at the fork?
Ryan Hatton: I've always wanted to have a bar in Columbus to support local and traveling bands the way bars do in other towns. This town is overloaded with cover bands who are playing mediocre covers of really bad songs.

Disabled

2011-04-22T09:57:37Z

After much delay on the part of C-buz, the ongoing home-made series "Disabled" is finally making a feature appearance on C-buz. Since October, Gary Norton, Kyle Willey have been scripting, shooting, editing, and acting in several documentary-esque, short comedies depicting the lives of a close group of small-town slackers, trying to cheat their way into getting a disability income. The series is available to watch on funnyordie.com

Adam Cooley Made Me Wet My Pants

2010-10-01T16:10:56Z

So, one experiment I've been trying is having various artists create C-buz artwork / video stuff, and Adam Cooley blew me away by whipping up something within a couple hours of me asking him. Check it out!

At its best, science fiction's main purpose has always been to explore society and help define exactly what makes us human.

The Lagoon Brothers

2010-07-10T17:42:17Z

The Lagoon Brothers’ “2010 Demos” collection may not be a legitimate release, but these recordings are quickly climbing my iTunes “most played” list.

C-buz is 1 year old!

2010-05-31T22:53:38Z

A lot of great things have happened, considering this has been entirely ZERO budget and all volunteer-based. We've met a ton of awesome people through C-buz and have learned about how much talent has actually come out of Columbus. We've also pissed a lot of people off and learned what to do and not to do.

Stuff Going On

2010-03-29T11:01:12Z

I've sort of put C-buz on hold slightly, but not completely, but things are still happening. I've been trying to go forward with some advertising with minimal success.

C-buz Ad

2010-02-17T22:02:16Z

Ryan Eversole

2010-10-01T16:54:25Z

Nestled within the corner of what our city planners have nicknamed the "big block" of Columbus because of its high-concentration of residential homes, you will find the newly established musicians' paradise that Ryan Eversole has dubbed Secret Sounds. Familiar neighbors are the Big Cheese, Sabor La Vida, and the one-time location of the Board Room skate shop/music venue.

The site is up and running, but depending on what browser you're using (IE6, IE7, IE8, Firefox, Safari, Chrome) there are different issues. I hope to get these issues all straightened out over the next day or so.

Submit Us Your Gigs!!!

2010-02-01T02:52:45Z

If you're on this site, you're most likely looking for stuff to do in or around Columbus. As of now, we post gigs that we spot on Myspace, Facebook, and various other blogs, but we can't always cover everything. That's where you get involved. If you are putting on a show or event or know someone who is, POST IT ON C-BUZ!!! The more gigs we have on here, the better. You will be helping other just like you. Do this as often as you can. Just check to make sure that gig hasn't already been posted.

New Launch = New Features & Features (??)

2010-02-02T16:32:20Z

With the new launch we've got several new features: Adam Cooley - he does crazy abstract videos, Impure Jazz - mind-blowing math rock band, and Jason Newkirk - the long-awaited new art director for the Crump. Check them out! Since we first launched in May of 2009, we've had an incredible response for the community, but also have found a lot of things that we'd like changed.

Jason Newkirk

2010-02-01T00:15:57Z

The Crump Theater, one of the oldest theaters in Indiana has been the topic of endless debate for decades. Once a thriving opera house over a century ago, the Crump has since faded to a much more humble state. With a mounting list of maintenance issues, and lack of support, the Crump has been on the verge of seeing its end.

Adam Cooley

2011-09-02T00:15:25Z

Using only lo-fi cameras and Microsoft's infamously retro graphic software - Paint, Adam Cooley has created a series of abstract short films that resemble digital toxic waste - and I mean that in a good way. Adam's videos take the observer through a sequence of psychological stages: first repulse, then confusion, then fear, then curiosity, then a zen-like state of calm hypnosis.

Impure Jazz

2010-01-31T11:51:23Z

Since 2004, Josh Morrow and Gabriel Garber have been gracing the world with sounds years beyond most groups their age. With the inception of Adam Goode on bass in 2007, IJ took their current form and hit the accelerator, smacking the Midwest in the ears with a caliber of tunes that would make a mother proud.

Stuart J Attic recently published a compilation of writings, drawings, and comics, boldly entitled "No One Cares about Yr S*** Town". The contents that follow the title page uphold the same degree of cynicism and vulgarity.

On April 13th 2009 a group of young men and women from Columbus Indiana were able to open a dream a year in the making.

Quick Said the Bird

2010-01-31T02:13:18Z

It might be the serpentine black cords covering the floor, the tender sound of rain from a cracked window, the premature humidity of June, or the dim lamp-light of the abandoned little girl's room flooding the hallway of an otherwise dark house, but something about these conditions combined with the potently beautiful sound of Quick Said the Bird is absolutely narcotizing.

Kendall Yeaton

2010-01-31T12:13:40Z

“”

What struck me first about Kendall Yeaton is his modesty – talking with the 19 year old Columbus native wouldn’t lead you to believe that you were having a conversation with a locally popular and experienced musician.

Josh Ratliff

2010-01-31T01:49:33Z

Josh Ratliff is a difficult person to describe, much less understand. However, one thing is certain: whether you are conversing with him, or listening to his music, your experience is sure to be enjoyable, enlightening, and memorable. His music, much like his very presence, exudes an air of self-exploration and creative experimentation. Influenced by everything from bluegrass-folk to hip-hop to post-modern experimental electronica, Ratliff juxtaposes tried-and-true foundational elements with unexpected avant-garde tactics. Though Josh has been capering with music most of his life, he hopes to maintain the same awe for music he discovered when he first became intrigued by its mystery.

The Uprising Band, known affectionately as TUB by their loyal fans and groupies, will enchant you with a smile and then knock your head off of your shoulders (with their music...of course!).

Alysha Kupferer

2010-01-31T01:47:09Z

Whether it's music, clothing, photography, or technology, Alysha Kupferer has chosen to be constantly surrounded by good design. As a Columbus native via Savannah, Georgia, Alysha and her brother Tyler run a highly collaborative brainchild of a website, Base14.

C-buz: Could you explain a bit about the history of the band?
Old Masters: We formed in June of 2008 with hopes of becoming the next Chrome. J.S.Carie and Coffin Joe Harmon remain with only the bassist to fluctuate. In the beginning our bassist began as Jeremy M.

Levi Ely

2010-02-02T10:36:54Z

Levi Ely: Big changes....yeah. Well, my wife Valerie just gave birth to our second child, first girl. Her name is Piper.

Andy Miller

2010-02-01T00:17:47Z

Andy Miller's head is jammed full of stuff. That is how the UK transplant and Columbus-native, described his condition. I happen to agree with him, and it doesn't take long to figure out that he's not kidding.
