John McElhenney is the guitarist/singer/songwriter behind Buzzie, a rock/pop band with an emphasis on the rock side of things. After three years as the vocalist and contributing songwriter for Blue Cartoon, this is John's second solo album. The band members that make up the rest of Buzzie are Cotton Mather's Dana Myzer (drums) and Cotton Mather's Whit Williams (lead guitar) along with a host of guest players including Michael Ramos, Ron Flynt, Scrappy Jud Newcomb and Mark Hallman.
Engineered and produced by Austin's own Mark Hallman, Buzzie's second release "Are You Feeling Anything Yet?" strikes into alt/pop/rock territory with sharp-edged guitar licks wrapped around warm vocals and timeless lyrics. Last years' "She's Gone" included on the early promo disc was distributed as part of the International Pop Overthrow CD released by DelFi Records and showcases both John's writing and vocals.
