| Budda Amplification Performs on "Rock Star: Supernova" Reality Show
Budda Amplification announced today that their award winning Superdrive Series II amplifier was chosen as the official guitar amplifier for contestants on Tommy Lee's "Rock Star: Supernova" Reality Show. It's frequently said, "every overnight sensation has been ten years in the making," and while the name Budda Amplification might seem new to some, those in the know have been watching Budda become the essential link to the new voice of rock and roll. "Rock Star" Musical Director, Clyde Lieberman, selected the Budda Superdrive Series II amplifier for its versatility, simplicity, modern look, and exceptional rock tone. With the many diverse styles the performers bring to the stage, the show demands an amp that can faithfully re-create those sounds and still allow the performers an opportunity to express their own individuality.
SCHOOL OF ROCK
There is nothing remotely rock 'n' roll about 9 a.m. Nine a.m. is for Starbucks lines and traffic reports and math class; it's not usually a good hour for those who favor late nights and loud music and guitar rigs. But here it is, a few minutes before 9 on a summer morning, and a few dozen rockers are trickling into a school building in north Dallas. They have on baggy shorts and ripped jeans and their favorite rock 'n' roll T-shirts: The Ramones. Nirvana. Fall Out Boy. Guns N' Roses. They're loaded down with guitars and amps, basses and drumsticks. They are trying very hard to act like they didn't just climb out of their parents' Camrys and Explorers and minivans. Yep, these early-morning rockers are all under the age of 16. Some of them are accomplished musicians; others just wanna be.
