Danielfuzztone formally entered our consciousness with a strong and realized debut album (
Thoughts & Abandonment) on Bandcamp. As expected given the enormous recorded backlog he s amassed, it didn t take long for more releases to follow. But, besides repping our city well with their substance, the inspiration for his two latest singles are maybe some of the most creative references to Orlando history ever.
The most recent nod to Orlando s past is the hilariously titled Peter Murphy Always Cancels Twice. Oh, remember that stretch of history-making folly from 2019?
Those two consecutive Bauhaus abortions at the Plaza Live were a stranger-than-fiction series of events that cumulatively now live in Orlando music infamy, casting Murphy in the flame of effigy and David J in the glow of halo. The Bandcamp liner notes of the two-track single say it all: For fun, Google Peter Murphy and Orlando.
Park Avenue Summer Art Festival. Some say government leaders are sending inconsistent and confusing messages on what is and isn t safe. Lisa Hubler with the Park Avenue Merchants Association said the decision to call off the Park Avenue Summer Art Festival for the second straight year was made in early April. She said it came down to the New York state guidelines. The toughest part for us was that the goal posts kept moving a little bit, Hubler said. It was hard for us to gauge what we needed to do in order to make it happen. The announcement comes just a day after Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced that the New York State Fair would return in August at 50 percent capacity. But Hubler said that would not be realistic for an event like the Park Avenue Festival, which draws more than 200,000 people in a typical year.
