My Friend Clueless (MCF) is finally publishing their 2004 debut album: "Follow the Marsh Fire" online

Spontaneously from the motivational slogan: "Now for something completely different" My Clueless Friend brings you a fresh mix of reggae, rock and pop.
Dutch band My Friend Clueless existed a small 4 years and they were animated by an overriding tendency towards having fun, mixed with influences from pop, rock and reggae and a little touch of psychedelia. These are the elements that give this band a colorful and varied character.

With a totally unique sound MCF shows her energy and creativity. The album "Follow the Marshfire" was written and recorded in their own studio. Mastered by Cut 'n Clear studio in Amsterdam.
MCF wanted the to conquer Dutch stages with their quirky and catchy music. Live performances of MCF were a revelation of pure energy and fun elements that quickly skipped over to the public.
Moreover, MCF already played a large number of local and regional performances and played on stage during support acts with bands like Racoon, Beef, One in a Million, Kopna Kopna, Stuurbaard Bakkebaard and Krang.

Unfortunately My Clueless Friend in its original setting split in 2005 and the band made a re-start under the name Elementric. Nowadays, the lead singer of the band Dick Kwakman started a solo career as a singer songwriter under the name One Clueless Friend. So, the apple does not fall far from the musical tree...
MY Clueless Friend is not active anymore in live performances, but there is no reason to NOT share this beautiful debut album Follow the Marshfire, enjoy!

If this album goes viral online and fans will start to ask for a live performance.....who knows....just make them an offer they can't refuse!

Imagine Dragons - It's Time



After the last note played on the last song of a marathon set a few years ago, Dan Reynolds, frontman for Las Vegas based rockers Imagine Dragons, realized it was all starting to come together. “We were playing a gig at this place called O’Sheas, which has the cheapest beer on the strip,” Reynolds remembers. “I was basically standing on top of the drums, the stage was so small.

We were on our final song of a six-hour set. I got to the end of the song and just fully passed out in the middle of singing. I came to, got up, finished the song, and we got a standing ovation from all these people at this tiny little casino at three am on a weekday in Vegas. Something about that moment bonded us and made us realize that we were building a connection with people from all over the country.”

Since then that connection has only grown. Reynolds and his bandmates – guitarist Wayne Sermon, bassist Ben McKee, and drummer Daniel Platzman – independently released three EPs, toured extensively, earning a grass roots following. Then, earlier this year, the band made their major label debut with the release of their Continued Silence EP, which included the breakthrough single “It’s Time,” an anthemic foot-stomping track that perfectly encapsulates the band’s unvarnished emotional sound. The song, which reached #3 at Modern Rock radio and #2 at AAA, earned the group a 2012 MTV VMA nomination for “Best Rock Video.” 

With the groundswell of energy “It’s Time” generated, Imagine Dragons are now preparing for the release of their full-length debut, Night Visions, available on Grammy award winning producer Alex Da Kid’s (Eminem, Rihanna) label, KIDinaKORNER. “This record has been three years in the making,” Reynolds explains of his excitement in finally getting to share the album with the world. “We feel that we have finally created something we are all truly proud of and that can hopefully inspire others and help them feel a little less alone. That’s what music is about. It’s the greatest communicator I know.”
