Kennedy and The Honorary Title Get Ready to Release New Music to the Masses
Two New Artists Take Old Sounds and Make Them Their Own
If you were to take the quirkiness of Napoleon Dynamite and mix in the sheik cool of Beck you may end up with the fun and funk that is Kennedy! Kennedy is the quirky disco/funk Hollywood singer/songwriter who sports tuxedos and white shoes that might actually be older than he is. You have to love (or at least be intrigued by) anyone who claims to be a fan of early Ice Cube, Sly and The Family Stone and ABBA!! On his up coming disc "Kennedy for President" (due out September 25th) Kennedy mashes up seventies dance rhythms and country style harmonica to create the tune "Hillbilly Witchcraft". The lead off track "Karate" is an ode to 70's disco and the tune "Mama Made Me a Pimp" will conjure up visions of Solid Gold Dancers and episodes of the Love Boat!! The first single, "Your Mama" is as Kennedy puts it, "an ode to all of the beautiful, alluring mothers everywhere!" The video for the single has become the hottest download on You Tube this summer. So is Kennedy for real? Is he putting us on? Well the fact is there is much humor to be had on Kennedy for President, but his love for disco, white belts and tuxes with ruffles is real and in a strangely compelling way a breath of fresh air. If you are looking for something that is truly an "alternative" to blinged out gangsta rap and the whining of pretty emo boys then this self proclaimed boogie knight just might have what you need. A tour late summer is in the works and he has already passed a true test by participating on some select dates on the Warped Tour last year. When you can win over the punk rock crowd anything is possible. On September 25th break out your disco ball, get out your ballot out and cast your vote for Kennedy.

Did You Know?
The Honorary Title have won praise in both Spin and Rolling Stone Magazine. Kennedy has hinted at the fact that the inspiration for the tune "Your Mama" came from a blind date he went on. He was set up by his mother with an older woman!
