In my efforts to keep you up to date on the Capes music scene, I am bringing you my first “Part Duex” segment. My first victims in this new segment is The BuLife. This group of multi talented friends from Provincetown have been Real Cape supporters since the beginning and these non-stop hustlers are constantly bettering their brand.

 

Coming off their mix tape “Cape Tippin” release party on December 27th at The Underground in P-Town. This is a crew that never rest, always seems to be  on the go. They have some big shows coming up off the peninsula, they will be taking their talents to New York City in February. On February 13th The BuLife is at Goodbye Blue Monday in Brooklyn, then onto the renown Nuyorican Poet’s Cafe in Manhattan on February 18th. All you music lovers here on The Cape help this group of locals out and get on the interweb and holla at your people in N.Y.C and tell them to check out The BuLife. I know you know at least one person living near Brooklyn trying to find themselves some nice music.

The guys are also back in the studio coming up with a ton of new material. They’ve called in local female artist Edwige to add a woman’s touch to some tracks. They also recently joined Music for Good on Reverbnation, which means that half of song sales are donated to CAREUSA.ORG.  The BuLife is doing their part, so do yours and help spread the good word of these hard working guys   from the tip of the map.

Keep up with The Bulife on Facebook, Reverb Nation or get some Bulife Swag

Editor’s Note: The fuckin’ ’70’s! The Grateful Dead on Cape Cod? No Fun Police? Someone hit the rewind button.

Today I’m taking a trip down memory lane for many of you. Back to when times where a lot simpler and rock and roll was a way of life. For may of us my we have only heard stories of a place on this man made island where rock and roll ruled the night. This place for the music lovers here on The Cape from 1972-1984 was The Cape Cod Coliseum.

This 7,200 seat love nest for music made it’s home in the lovely town of South Yarmouth. With the first concert in 1973 with Three Dog Night and the last concert in 1984 with Iron Maiden. The coliseum hosted the who’s who in the music scene in the 70’s and 80’s. This list includes such greats as The Allman Brothers, The Clash, Santana, Tom Petty, Pat Benatar, Lynard Skynard, The Greatful Dead, Aerosmith, Alice Cooper, Kiss, Peter Frampton, Molly Hatchet, Van Halen, Foghat, INXS, and of course Ozzy.

Not only did the Coliseum host the legends of music, this historic venue hosted Espn boxing events. Also WWF wrestling matches. Back when wrestling was  real and not this WWE fake ass, steroided freak show soap opera bullshit.

I never had the pleasure of making it to this holy ground for live music, but I have been told folk lure of the crazy nights here. From the stories passed down to me, the fun police would of spontaneously com-busted at this place. I can only hope to have a venue like this here on the mother land once again.

Please if you have any pictures or stories share them with us.

Remember get out and see and support live local music.

As the resident music expert here at The Real Cape headquarters, it’s about time I got some respect and got invited to cover some big time events.  Our team will be on site to cover The 3rd annual New England Music Awards on February 22nd in Lowell and all the other awards shows out there better be on the look out, The Real Cape team is coming full steam ahead.

Besides the great music that will be there, we are going to cover The Capes own Funktapuss, who are up for live act of the year. So we are calling on you, the people of the motherland to get on your internet devices and go to this page and get your vote on. If you haven’t seen Funktapuss yet trust me these guys put on a live show that is worthy of winning this award. Another Cape connection to the NEMA’s is that Jess Phaneuf of MVY is on the voting committee.

The NEMA’s  have a list of past winners that is a who’s who of New England music. Past winners include The Brew, Rustic Overtones, Barefoot Truth, Adam Ezra, Ryan Montbleau Band, Martin Sexton and Grace Potter and the Nocturnals. Most of these bands have burst onto the national music scene in the past few years.

TheNEMA’s show is on February 22nd, and tickets are a bargain at $10. So if you have a love of music and are looking for a great night off the man made island, come and join us in The Venice Of America a.k.a. Lowell. I am sure this will be the best party of the young year of 2014. If you are feeling saucy and have enough kahunas to venture off the Cape there also is a bunch of great NEMA activities going on Friday the 21st. SO WHO’S COMING WITH ME?
