2011: We were young, in love, and crazy
2011 was a wild ride for Bo and the peeps, full of ups and downs and sudden left turns and things that go bump in the night. In other words, business as usual. We enjoyed the best tour yet, unexpected collaborations, and surprising side projects. We heard songs about the Civil War and the bleak [...]

Heavenly piece
I’ve had Bo’s wonderful mashup of Silent Night and In The Bleak Midwinter on steady rotation the last few weeks, and it just sounds better and better to me with every listen. So I want to give a shout out to Andrea Young, now that we’ve learned she supplied both the fiddle accompaniment and background [...]

An unexpected gift
A few days ago Bo put his 2010 Christmas album up in Bandbox. But today he’s updated it to a 2011 version, which includes a mash-up of Silent Night and In The Bleak Midwinter. He’s redone the arrangements, which took me by surprise at first. But Bo’s voice really suits the tone and mood of [...]

Goodies
Get no joy from St. Nick yesterday? Why not stuff your own stocking with a bit of Bo? There’s a bunch of new digital goodies over at Bobice.com that could be just what you need.
Bo’s 2012 calendar offers up 12 months of brooding, eye-fucking, leather-jacketed, cowboy-hatted goodness. There are also 2 new mini-albums [...]

Move over, Ryan Seacrest
Good news for all the peeps who have been saying that Bo should have his own tv show. According to his latest shout, Bo’s going to be hosting a program for Demented Cycles. I’ve got no idea if this is going to be on cable or internet only, but knowing Bo it’ll definitely be entertaining.
Here’s [...]
