I adore you two lol! Thanks for this honor. XO... OMG lol! You sound AMAZING I love your VOICE girlie
The Band Famous has been doing the work so long to include womyn and poc in the music industry. Support their amazing work.
Great Venue! Clean, Friendly, and full of nice people! I saw comedy, pop, indie alt, and hip hop so I know no matter what you are looking for you can probably find it there. Next time I'm in LA I will be making sure to hit this spot again.
Happy new year to my fav band
Super interesting expression of the idea of a new format for music. Cool synthesis of music video and having a social relationship with the user. Two thumbs and a big toe up. Experimental music worth checking out. Reminds me of Björk.
Band Famous!! This is my favorite new music. This girl just steps up and sings her heart out. I love that. BJ
Very cool. That’s amazing! Wow you’re really organized! That sounds super cool. Coding is the new rock n roll!…I love Famous…Your band is exciting, you have an exciting - would you call it an industrial metal band? What is it more of a pop, pop industrial alternative band?
The band famous is super dope! I dig this band. They have a vision that musically creates a space for me to use my imagination to dare to be the famous star of my own twisted fate!
Da Bomb App. This app is magnificent. How are you people so creative and talented its disgusting. Music beautiful, love the game, everything excellent, all around winner, A+. LOVE TO THE BAND FAMOUS. Download this app now its a game changer. Bravo! I have never even written an app review and this is how compelled I am. Norell is an angel from heaven and Zander is WILDLY talented too. Keep it coming guys!
I had so much fun, you two you’re amazing people and you’re very talented as well - I love your music! People should definitely check out the album!
Addictive. I particularly like the sensual song Ink and Feather, it reminds me of a after hours smokey bar. I have stayed away from games but Cycle of Destruction is crazy addictive. Natural elements take out or cancel the other - it is compelling playing competing symbols against each other.
World wide!!!! ....The BandFamous is a cut above the rest and defines what innovation, creativity, and originality really is.
As part of our series about ‘5 Steps We Must Take To Truly Create An Inclusive, Representative, and Equitable Society’ I had the pleasure to interview Norell and Zander, co-founders and co-producers that made their own queer enterprise with their music duo, software, trademark, and venue, The Band Famous.
The Band Famous created, hosted and produced the first ranked tournament for charity with an all-ages and all-inclusive event. They focus on bringing the community together and shedding their positivity towards others.
The Band Famous Helps Others Love Themselves.
I have to ask. I absolutely loved you, Norell and Zander, in that video that you did with the couples where Zander was finding these other women and making love to them, and you were in the background and you were, you were like this vision. What was the concept of that? I absolutely love that thing, and if that was a short film or movie, I'd watch that!
\Self-produced trip-hop group the Band Famous exist to uplift you, even if they sound a bit wacky when they do. They may not be self-actualized enough to dispense good advice, but their new single “Emotional Scatter” tries, dammit. Directed by TBF members Norell and Zander, the video tries to play motivational speaker, but when the band mixes in goofy lyrics and a mooning gnome toy, it’s hard to take them totally seriously. Which might be the point: Stop taking yourself so seriously and enjoy the jam.
\You give a more intimate experience to the fans.
\Sold by innovation.
Today we’d like to introduce you to Jacob Alexander Figueroa and Mary Norell Jackson.
I just had to have them on the show immediately because they were one of those teams that you may come across, or individuals you come across at any entertainment function that was genuine, everything about them was about their business. I saw a humanitarian part of them as well, these are genuine individuals! ...Wowww - that there is really interesting, that’s an upgrade! That there is really something that’s ingenious. You actually bring the folks great tunes, you actually have fantastic artistic ability when it comes to body painting, and there’s a host of other things that you do. You guys were actually created through live-streaming, which is one of the biggest things and benefits that we have today in the entertainment industry.
\You’re a group of collaborators, I mean musicians, developers, and people who are very creative, body painters, writers - I mean you have a little bit of everything and when you put everyone together, its like ‘we create the band famous!
\And the technology nowadays…You just have it in your pocket because everybody - everyone right now has a smartphone, so if you say you don’t have a smartphone, please c’mon. You know how to connect even with WiFi in your house… This is an amazing and huge idea, I love it. Let’s talk a little bit about you’re music - we’re listening right now, it’s very nice, relaxed.
\...The band famous, who somehow managed to form live on the internet..that’s right…it’s like they filmed their own birth…they made an interactive app by which they released their album. The more I read, the more surprised I was. They came together a couple of years ago in MN, they were all here in MN, and they all play music, they all make art, they also are all software developers, and actually some of the music from that initial jam session went on their debut EP Last Words which was released - wait for it - not on vinyl or via iTunes or any of the conventional ways of releasing music, but via an app - because they’re all software developers, right? They made an interactive app by which they released their album..[The music?] It’s dreamy, it’s spacey. I think people will find a lot to enjoy, a lot of familiar, and ambient sounds. The whole thing is improvised by the way, all of their music to date has been entirely improvised.
\“'Climax,’ a track on the Band Famous’s debut EP Last Words, was taken from that initial improv session. The band finished their initial release over a subsequent series of improv sessions—with Norell singing, Terry largely handling production duties, and all three members playing multiple instruments—and released the dreamy, synth-laden EP as a ‘smart album’ in the form of an app. The app, which also features a game and videos, can now be downloaded for free on your iPhone or iPad (search “Band Famous” in the app store).
\Their multi-media performances include body paint and synth-driven grooves, and they have even developed their own app to broadcast these shows.
Loving this group of marvelous artists! Wishing them success and health on their journey to promote their music. I hope people recognize their true talent and creativity!
Where can I even begin to do Norell and her band justice? I was lucky enough to meet her several years ago early on in her undergraduate career. Not only is she incredibly talented (and anyone working along with her is sure to prove the same!), beautiful inside and out, she is one of the most sincerely kind and thoughtful people I've had the opportunity to meet. The amount of positive energy and spirit she contributes to the world through her art, music, friendship, and kindness to all people after overcoming some of the most challenging obstacles life can dole out is nothing short of a genuine miracle. I truly believe and feel deeply that if she and The Band Famous can be backed to their goal, the world will become a better place. She's the real deal, guys! Down to earth, and as high as she can go, she'll never lose that. She's is THE example of what I wish everyone with the power and potential to influence our small world should follow. I have no doubt in my mind she and The Band Famous will make it! Thanks for all you have given so far!
Listening to "The Band Famous” raises your vibrations. It is a great tool for entertainment, but also listening, just taking in the vibes, music, words, and feeling allows for expansion of your energy. Once into the melody and vibrations you can use these songs for a new experience in music. Choose a song that appeals to you then listen to it over a few days. Notice your feelings at the start and then on the third day. Def difference. Funky, funny, juicy - Famous. These people are movers and shakers. Hurry up and grab a shirttail because they are on the rise!!!
I have known Jacob and Norell for a long time in Minneapolis, MN. These 2 are outstanding young people! Norell shared her music with me that made my hair stand up as she has voice of angel !! Jacob is creative, artist with a great eye! His work is like none other and I would purchase his work in a heart beat! The dedication, heart and soul these 2 young people place in everything they do is outstanding! Everyone has a story to share of their journey and if u are the receipiant of such an honor you are blessed!
The Band Famous is so talented and so worth supporting! From music, to art, to bodypainting, to app creators! They are the artists of the future! I love the beat in "Because" and I love this band's creative & intelligent drive!
The Band Famous is forging new territory with their magically different music!
This group comes with its own significant insight and wisdom. Our lives are challenged by stress & anxieties daily, so I am a proud supporter of a music developed from love, & focuses on uplifting. This group does not need others to tell them who they are, how to be cool, or how to be beautiful. Through their music these gems dream of success and explore fact, fiction and fantasies…
Digging all the free music in the app! I love the moody tunes. Rocking out to these all day!
These guys are a few of the biggest hearted, passionate, artistically skilled, and professional people I know. I threw out ideas what I wanted in a photoshoot and they made it come to life. I love their unique music and this app is brilliant to keep me connected to their music adventures across the country…
I was lucky enough to meet this band last year and they are genuine artists on a mission. Wild, humble, and free. I love all of their songs with my favorite being “Who You Are” a subtle, yet haunting, melodic sound, which makes me think about where I’m at in my own life. That’s what music is supposed to do… evoke emotions. The Band Famous reminds me of Portishead, another band I love. With their eclectic sound and lyrics, this band will be around for a very long time…
