Popscene Presents THE LIMOUSINES + DJ Aaron Axelsen
The Limousines are a footnote in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. Literally. In the permanent MTV exhibit in the Hall, the band's song and video Internet Killed The Video Star is acknowledged as a fitting end to the Era of Music on "Music Television" which began with the song Video Killed The Radio Star in 1981. The Limousines stumbled into success in 2009 when their bright, snarky song Very Busy People was discovered and disseminated on earth and in space by Live 105's Aaron Axelsen and SiriusXM's Jeff Regan. With no intention of ever performing live, singer Eric Victorino and producer Giovanni Giusti suddenly found themselves kicking ass on festival and club stages all over the world, promoting their self produced debut album Get Sharp. Managers, lawyers, booking agents, and record labels got involved and pretty quickly, everything started going to shit. Eric went through a divorce, Gio moved away, the record label imploded, and everyone was totally living the dream. The Limos' next crowd-funded album "Hush" was way less bouncy and fun than its predecessor, but it proved the band had some darker, introspective facets not previously apparent. The curtain fell, time passed. Today's bizarro version of The Limousines is two grown ass dudes, still in love, just like, doing life stuff. Eric's a fat dad working behind a desk in a high-rise filing cabinet in the sky. Gio is an inter dimensional cowboy in the desert.
