The Four Horsemen

April 11th 2013 14:16

For your information, I am not talking about the Metallica song. Everyone seems to throw this out when I ask have you ever heard of the Four Horsemen.

The four Horsemen were a Southern rock band that peeked in the 1990's and then dissapeared after a series of tragedies that decimated the band. The drummer died of a drug overdose and the lead singer died in a motorcycle accident after being hit by a drunk driver.

Tragedy and rock and roll stardom seem to go hand in hand and one can only wonder what might have become of this band if the lives of two of their members had not been cut short.


They might also have simply self imploded since these bad boys had a tendency to live on the edge and spend quite a bit of time in jail thus delaying the release of some of their albums.

Florence and The Machine

February 13th 2013 00:10
Hey everyone,

Here's a quick post for a Tuesday night in Montreal. This one one ties in with the same topic I've been going on about in th last few months.

Once again, the songza App has given me another new musical artist to discover. While listening to a playlist for "rock songs played on acoustic guitars", I stumbled upon a song entitled Hospital beds from Florence and the machine.




This song was a remake from another British band that i had never heard of either. I love this song and you can always tell the natural talent of an artist if they are able to pull off a song live and acoustic. No bells and whistles here....just pure raw talent.

Here's a little more info on them taken from the Last FM:


London, England, United Kingdom (2007 – present)



Florence the Machine formed in 2007 in London, England, United Kingdom. The band is the recording name of singer/songwriter Florence Welch and a collaboration of other artists who provide backing music for her. The current lineup of the band is Florence Welch (vocals), Robert Ackroyd (guitar), Isabella Summers (keyboards), Tom Monger (harp), Mark Saunders (bass), Christopher Lloyd Hayden (drums).

Florence is an art-college dropout from Camberwell, London, who was discovered singing Motown covers in a nightclub toilet, drunk. Musically Florence and the Machine’s sound is generally referred to as soul inspired indie rock.

Welch, who grew up listening to The White Stripes and Kate Bush, says she writes metaphorical songs that are “stories with consequences and weird morality issues,” She gets her material from a variety of sources and experiences. Florence And The Machine’s music has received praise across the British music media, especially from the BBC who have played a large part in their rise to prominence by bringing them into the spotlight as part of BBC Introducing. At the Brit Awards 2009 Florence picked up the Critics Choice Award; a category introduced in 2008 focusing on new talent, voted for by a panel of music industry experts.


Have a listen to Hospital beds here and tell me what you think??

The Logitech Mini BoomBox

December 18th 2012 15:48

Being the music fanatic that I am, the thought of having access to my music at all times is very pleasing to me.

I had been looking for a product that would allow me to listen to my music anywhere and anytime I wanted without the constraints of moving speakers or using power cables.

After doing some online research, I finally found exactly what I was looking for. The Logitech mini BoomBox is an amazing product with sound quality that amazes despite it's tiny size.

When I ordered it online i was shocked to see the size of the box when it showed up in the mail. This minuscule piece of technology literally fits in the palm of your hand.

This Bluetooth enabled device is simple to set up with any Smart Phone or tablet and can also be connected to any computer using the USB cable.

The set up literally takes seconds and once fully charged you get over 4 hours of wireless music from your favorite device.

The MiniBoom box is so small you can put it in your pocket and take it with you whether you are camping or just having a BBQ in your back yard.

I highly recommend this product and you I am sure you won't be dissapointed if you decide to give it a try.

It would seem that the new craze in technology today is Apps.

Everyone is constantly trying to be the first one with the latest and the greatest but honestly, ask yourself how many of these great new apps that you've downloaded do you use on a regular basis?

Mexico and Carlos

August 27th 2012 14:58
What a great summer it has been.

I was lucky enough to spend some time in New York City and then the icing on the cake was a week of all inclusive fun in Riviera Maya Mexico. It was my first time in New York City and I finally understand what everyone is always talking about

What happened to Damien Rice??

July 1st 2012 14:39
It's not often that an artist comes around that impresses me as much as Damien Rice has. I first heard one of his songs as a trailer at the end of a french TV series. The song was called Older chests.

From that moment I was hooked. Damien is a natural talent and his songs are absolutely mesmerizing. After two incredible album called "O" and "9" he seems to have dissapeared off the face of the earth

Hey everyone,

This is not related in any way to the theme of this blog. There will be no mention of music, up and coming artists, the latest underground band that's doing things differently or about my never ending quest for new material

Discovering Gotye and Kimbra

March 12th 2012 19:02
Hello everyone,

As you might have noticed there are some big changes coming to The Feverr. There are some big shoes to fill but change is sometimes good and we will be going in a somewhat different direction. The focus will still be on music but we will be touching on some different subjects such as discovering new artists, acoustic guitars and reviews, tips for guitar players and many other interesting topics.

My Quest for New Music

February 23rd 2012 19:10


My quest for new music started when I was just a kid. I have always been obsessed with finding something unique and different to listen to. I always loved the classics like the Stones, The Who and Led Zeppelin but I wanted to be the first to be listening to the next greatest thing or just listening to amazing artists that no one had ever heard of before.
