About the Artist
As the planet revolves around the sun, spinning on its axis it is easy for all of us to follow the same predictable trend. Ironically, Common Rotation is a pop folk band with an alternative to this perpetual boredom. Combined with a theatrical stage show, their brand of intelligent eclectic acoustic guitar-driven pop music is enough to throw the forces of nature in reverse and gather a devoted audience. Formerly known as 28 Orange Street, Common Rotation has developed a substantial following on both the east and west coasts. Although they now reside in Los Angeles, the greatest folk band ever, paid their dues, honing their craft in the thriving New York folk scene. Tired of the NYC bars Common Rotation began playing coffee houses and folk clubs which allowed them to build a level of intimacy with their audiences that surpasses any modern pop act. It is easy to see why they have such a devoted fanbase on the college circuit. Anyone that has been fortunate enough to be familiar with Common Rotation will attest to the band's enormously energetic live show. Their unconventional marriage of pop music and theatrics is their defining characteristic. For example the band changed introduced a new name, band member and website while onstage in NYC, leaving their fans guessing as to whether what had happened was real or a part of the show. Even some reading this right now might believe this all to be part of some elaborate theatrical plot. At the core of the show is the unique dynamic between the band's two front men. One half of the center stage is Eric Kufs the predominant singer/songwriter who's inciteful, socially concious folk-pop gems are combined with a voice that ranges from a tear-tickled whisper to a gutteral howl. With acoustic guitar in hand Kufs' role as the introspective folk singer is a perfect foil for the relentless firestarter, Adam Busch. With a voice best describe as driftwood drawl with a spoonful of honey, Busch engages, entertains, and even challenges audiences while harmonizing with Kufs. The two will stop at nothing to receive undivided attention whether it means improvising lyrics to comment on the particular crowd or performing dance routines. Though distinctly different in personality together both instinctively command and captivate audiences. The rhythm section of Professor Ken Beck and Michael Uhler seem to have their breathing patterns syncronized with the two front men, playing everthing to support them appropriately. Professor Beck's high caliber multi-faceted drumming and Uhler's innate feel for wide and warm bass grooves provide a comfortable nurturing pocket for Kufs' signature acoustic guitar style. The stellar musicianship is a tool used in their tightly arranged pop songs. These melodic poems are starting points for further musical and theatrical improvisation which has become the Common Rotation staple. It's this unique stage prescence that has attracted booking agencies on both coasts and helped to sell over four thousand copies of their debut album 28 Orange Street. As Common Rotation prepares for a new record the rest of the world waits for a new path to follow. The ordinary, seize the daily grind, but this band seizes the day. Common Rotation will be releasing a recording that will introduce their post modern brand of folk into the new generation of pop culture. This isn't merely an alternative to "boy bands". This is the boy band to end the trend.(Atleast for a few years before the original New Kid's and Menudo come together for a world tour.) Common Rotation is different folk to rule the world!
