Model Music
Is anyone (like me) a reality TV junkie? If so, you'll be more curious than the average bear about Tamarama's EP Wonderland City. Tamarama features Australians Jay Lyon, who according to my research used to be called Brent Tuhtan, and Nicolas Potts. Jay is currently enjoying his 15 minutes as the love interest of Whitney Port on The City.
I am not usually super psyched to hear the work of model-turned-musicians, but I have to admit, my curiosity was piqued in this case. After all, Carla Bruni pulled it off, and most musicians need a day job. I popped in the EP this afternoon expecting to hear some generic indie rock, but I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised. Having grown up in Southern California, maybe I am just a sucker for anything that evokes images of the beach, and this definitley fits the bill. It's got a '70s/Jack Johnson/easy listening/breezy vibe to it, that instantly transported me those carefree days where my biggest decision was sunblock or coconut oil. I am particularly digging the track "Dusty Road."
You can listen to samples on Tamarama's Myspace page, and let me know if you think Jay deserves his own spin off.

I am running a small internet marketing business as my side business. This has helped me cut time when I’m free from my busy schedule. I really get satisfaction when I am my own boss.
