ARTIST NAME: KURT KORTHALS
PROJECT NAME: BUDDY SYSTEM
TERRITORY: USA, TEXAS

Kurt Korthals, the one-man team behind the music act The Buddy System, discovered electronic music through fellow skateboarder dave fuller (a.k.a. buckminster fuzeboard) after 15 years of moving through logging camps with his father in Southeast Alaska. Until he left the islands to pursue a degree in computer science, he experimented with equipment and sounds in a self-made closet studio in his dad's trailer. since then bewildered Texans have benefited from The Buddy System's consistent live performances, radio appearances, and friendly cd and mp3 sharing. Labels across the globe are taking note as well with music released by u-cover records (Belgium), psychonavigation (Ireland), carpark (USA), awkward silence recordings (UK), and o-parts (Japan).
