Quick mention on the Boh Runga show this August 3rd at Largo. Boh is touring in support of her new US Debut album “Right Here.” Here from New Zealand, I do not know when you will get a chance to see her again so I highly recommend this show. She is dynamic and well worth checking out.

I often dream of open roads, discovering small, new towns and meeting the folk that make those places as unique as they are. In the country somewhere, away from everything I know, I envision walking into a saloon and hearing music that I would have never heard before. Read the rest of this entry »

Let me just get this out there to begin with. Straight to the point, I try to stay away from words like genius and empty filled compliments. But this album, “Turn it Loose” by Ill Ease is just ridiculous and a force that has me gushing all over when I listen to it. And yes, it is genius. Bred from the musical brain and rich tradition that is Elizabeth Sharp, all I can say is, Whoa! Read the rest of this entry »

When you are in the presence of something great, you want more. Whether it be love, nature or music, it will consume you until you have had your fill.
As we have known for a while, one of our own, Robert Francis, has been working on his debut album for Atlantic Records. Read the rest of this entry »

You know that feeling…when something just grabs a hold of you and won’t let go. This is how I feel about this band, Shannon and The Clams. It is unpretentious, raw and simply really good music. Read the rest of this entry »

Isn’t it great when the music just speaks for itself? Just sit back, forget the bios, the propaganda and just listen to Howlies. Howlies are a tight 4-Piece from Atlanta and will be making their way to the west coast. Their music is a rich blend of vintage rock, California surf and tantalizing richly flavored vocals and harmonies. Read the rest of this entry »

LA is rich. LA is plastic. LA is so many things that people cannot understand. But at the forefront of what it is, it is a magical city painted to a musical landscape that leaves so many people just simply envious. We are blessed to have a talent like Jordan Hudock, the incredible leader of Marvelous Toy. Part mad, all genius, his band’s story continues to unfold and luckily, we get to participate in it through live shows and great music. Read the rest of this entry »
