Music Business Radio

Johnny Mann and Beau Stapleton from Computer vs. Banjo were in the Music Business Radio studios today.

Johnny played with Gran Torino, a 9-piece funk/jazz band which was signed to Yep Rock Records and toured almost constantly.  Beau was part of Blue Merle, a band signed to Island/DefJam, which sold over 100,000 records and toured with major acts such as Dave Matthews Band and Counting Crows.

And they left it all to form Computer vs. Banjo.

You've probably never heard of Computers vs. Banjo, but if you've seen any of the following shows, you've probably heard their music...

• Weeds
• Sex with Mom and Dad (currently on MTV with Dr. Drew Pinsky)
• Real World

• Keeping Up with the Kardashians
• Living with Lohan
• Parental Control

Their music has been used for advertising, too.  Advertising clients include:

We talked about life on the road, getting music in film and television shows, and the new business of music.

Show is currently being edited and will air shortly.
