History

A Watched Pot was recorded with John Fields in 2005 for Aware/Columbia Records. A few weeks after finishing the record, Bleu was dropped from the label (as well as many other artists) because of downsizing of Sony. This didn't stop him from playing his songs and streaming them (and new ones) at Myspace. The record was not released on CD or digital until 2009. These four years were full of creative work:[ importance? ] Bleu moved from Boston to L.A., put out L.E.O. —Alpacas Orgling (a project with Mike Viola, Andy Sturmer of Jellyfish and Jason Scheff of Chicago), founded The Major Labels (a power-pop project with Mike Viola and Ducky Carlisle) and released Aquavia (the first and maybe last record of group), and worked as a producer.

Bleu said: "It truly means the world to me to finally get this record released. It always feels good to put your art out in to the world, but after all I've gone through for this material to see the light of day, the reward is particularly sweet."[ citation needed ]
