Head over to the music section and download, stream, and share the new release from Of Mice and Musicians Bottles & Bones!  Five30 Music and OMAM really appreciate all of your continued support!  We promise to give you nothing but the best music, from the best people.

In celebration of the new Of Mice and Musicians album, Bottles & Bones, our good friend and webmaster Robbie decided Five30Music.com needed a make over.  Please bare with us, but the new site is still a work in progress.  More content is going to be coming to the site in all forms of media soon.

That’s pretty much it.  We’ll see you this Saturday at Northern Lights for the South End OMAM Bottles & Bones release party.  There’s a great line up, and the show is hosted by Leaf Erickson.

Here’s the artwork for Of Mice and Musicians Bottles & Bones being released 4.1.12. on Five30 Music.  We’re excited to get this music into people’s hands.  We’ll see you at the South End Release Party 4.7.12 @ Northern Lights, Detroit, MI.

Slightly creepy, totally weird equalling awesome promo vid for Of Mice & Musicians Bottles & Bones release party 4.7.12 @ Northern Lights.  Detroit, Michigan.  This line up is great, and will be hosted by Charlie Beans from Five30 Music.  Check out the trailer:

METRO TIMES: LISTENING IN

OMAM also got a nice little write up in this week’s Metro Times.  Thanks to Jeff Milo.  Check out the article (link below):

Yes, it’s been quite some time since we’ve updated the website. We appologize for keeping some people in the dark, but have a couple new announcements. First of all, Five30 Music is proud to announce a new release coming 4.1.12. by none of than hip hop band Of Mice & Musicians.  Entitled Bottles And Bones, this is the second release from OMAM, but is considered their first complete album.

Five30 was incredibly excited to be approached by OMAM to help push their next release, which essentially is a re-introduction to the band.  After several conversations with Benjamin Miles, it seemed obvious that OMAM was anxious to leave their basement studio and upgrade to a professional studio to make their music more creatively accessible.  This make over for the band goes as far as setting their self-titled album on fire along other objects on album cover for their new album, Bottles And Bones.    After discussions about OMAM finding a home to release their latest work, Ben decided to continue our partnership, and brought his band over to Five30 Music. 

“Livin’ Right” TEASER

The best part about Of Mice & Musicians is they cannot be categorized.  This seven piece band steps outside the standard verse/chorus/verse, and in turn adopts the ideals of true collaborations from musicians as songwriters.  “Livin’ Right” is just one example of how versatile and talented OMAM are as a collective. 

PLAYITRIGHT PROMO

 Bottles And Bones, will be available for download 4.1.12.  exclusively on FIVE30MUSIC.com.  With the announce of the new release, our website is  getting a brand new design, which will be unveiled right before the Bottle And Bones release. 

The Detroit release party for Bottles And Bones is going to be at one of the best spots in the city, Northern Lights.  With a great line up, this is the first show of two we will announce to celebrate the new OMAM album.  If you haven’t checked out any of the openers, definitely check them out.  Doors are at 9PM, $5, and hosted by Charlie Beans.  Check out Of Mice & Musicians artist tab for bio information.  More details to come.

We promise to not leave you hanging on for months at a time any longer.  Five30 Music has a couple projects being worked on simultaneously, including our Five30 Music Compilation which will be out this year.  Until then, check out the site, and the new Of Mice & Musicians song “Livin’ Right.”  We’ll see you 4.1.12 to download Bottles And Bones if not earlier.

Our good friends MIDCOAST MOST just released the video for “Plastic Cups”  off their summer release, THE COAST IS CLEAR.  Consisting of Five30 emcee/super producer Eddie Logix, Nonsense, & J.Walker, MIDCOAST MOST has been playing shows and hanging with us since before we were all legal drinking age.  Good people.  Great music.  Hit up www.midcoastmost.com to purchase their album, and download the remix to “Plastic Cups.”

Yes, it has been quite some time since our last update here at Five30 Music.  We do indeed appologize about that.  Since we’ve spoken last,  Benjamin Miles & Eddie Logix opened for DOOMTREE artist SIMS at the Pike Room inside The Crofoot.  Benjamin Miles is performing this Friday, November 4th at The Berkely Front alongside Abolitionist Crew‘s Intricate Dialect & Kadence MC, Auto Pilots, & Doc Illingsworth.  Doors at 9PM.  Play It Forward tee shirts, and physical copies will be available at the show!

Benjamin Miles & Eddie Logix have been getting some great publicity as of late.  We really appreciate the blog love, and solid reviews we’ve recieved from Play It Forward.  People from out of state have been posting, as well as  local support which we’re ecstatic about.  Speaking of local love, check out the 11/2/11 issue of Metro Times for a great article on Benjamin Miles & Eddie Logix available everywhere locally.  LINK TO ARTICLE: http://metrotimes.com/music/breakin-the-law-1.1226312

Super producer Eddie Logix also had a great article written about himself, producing, and his many rap groups.  Check out the interview above.  It’s great to see hard working people starting to get more recognition.  Benjamin Miles & Eddie Logix are incredibly talented, and humble people.   The quality music they’ve been releasing together, and seperate, repectively, shows that.  Benjamin Miles recently collaborated with Pasilacqua’s MISTER for a song produced by Eddie Logix as well.  Staying busy.

Play It Forward  is the most embraced album of our Five30 Music catalog to date.  It’s also recieved the most exposure.  This is great news for everyone at Five30 Music.  We’re very proud of our work and we continue to grow as a unit.  Expect each release to be even easier to find,  listen to, and share. 

With that being said, please head over to our music page, and download the other music you might not have heard including S.White‘s The Last Boy Scout, and Madio‘s My Name Is Madio.  Free of charge, of course.

NEXT UP FOR FIVE30 MUSIC-2012, One Year Deep

Besides a brand new cosmetic make over to Five30Music.com, we’re looking forward into giving everyone a little more media as well.  Music videos, blogs, etc.   The more you know, so they say.

Our next release is gearing up to be a Five30 Music collaborative album.  THIS IS NOT A MIXTAPE.  All of the music is original, and is credited to Eddie Logix & Charlie Beans so far.  Every artist on our roster is involved in making the album, and we are in the early stages of its’ creation.  

The fun thing is we’ll be making music with some of our friends within the great state of Michigan, as well as artists from out of state.   We’ve got some really cool collabs in the works, and this is a great way for all of us to excercise some creativity outside our own solo projects.  We’ll let people know who we’re working with as we progress.

MORE IN 2012

Solo material coming from Tony Franks, S.White, and Charlie Beans is being worked on simultaneously with our Five30 Music album, so we’ll keep everyone updated on everything related to what we’re doing with those projects including shows, release dates, and other things of that nature.   

Sorry for leaving you hanging for some time, but glad to share some good news with you heading into the One Year Anniversary of Five30 Music.  Thank you to everyone who has been spreading the word, and being supportive of us.  We’re looking forward to an even bigger 2012!
