More new music I’m looking forward to in 2015: Dan Deacon. Just before the end of 2014, “Feel The Lightning” was released and will be featured on his new album, Gliss Riffer, which drops February 24. Let’s hope it’s a big big year Deacon.

Now Playing: POND – “Elvis’ Flaming Star”

5 Jan

I’m beyond stoked for the new album from POND, Man, It Feels Like Space Again to be released later this month. Not familiar with this band from Down Under? Here’s a few reasons why you should make yourself:

  1. It consists of Jay Watson of Tame Impala and former Tame Impala touring member Nick Allbrook
  2. Kevin Parker aka Tame Impala played drums on one of POND’s albums
  3. You probably guessed it, their sound is psychedelic rock

So basically if you dig Tame Impala, you’re going to be loving POND.

Now on to the music. Give a listen to “Elvis’ Flaming Star” the lead single off the upcoming album. Hope you enjoy!

New Video: @ImagineDragons – “I Bet My Life”

12 Dec

Brand new video released today by Imagine Dragons for their new single “I Bet My Life.” Caught these guys in concert last night at X 107.5 Holiday Havoc and as always, the guys delivered a massive show. It’s always amazing to see the hometown band just crush it on stage here in the neon desert and never shy away from professing their love of Las Vegas!

Now Playing: Tuxedo – “Wonderful Christmastime” and “Do It”

9 Dec

Time to bust out your favorite tuxedo t-shirt! My latest music obsession is courtesy of Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One who together make up the duo TUXEDO! It’s time to get a little bit funky and for the holiday season check out their rendition of Paul McCartney’s “Wonderful Christmastime” but really you need to listen to “Do It.” If you thought Chromeo brought the funk back to mainstream in 2014, give a listen to this and get ready for the debut album from Tuxedo on March 3.

VIDEO: St. Paul & The Broken Bones – NPR Music – Tiny Desk Concert

8 Dec

It always brings a smile to my face when someone says “you know that band you were telling me about…..I’m absolutely in love with them now.” I can’t think of an artist on the Life is Beautiful 2014 lineup who created that moment over and over again before saying St. Paul & The Broken Bones. Ironically one of the performances I tabbed for people as a “must see,” I missed! Sadly I had some responsibilities that kept me occupied and couldn’t break away but hearing from so many friends how much fun they had at the show and how St. Paul & The Broken Bones was their favorite performance at the festival was music to my ears. That right there was enough to make me feel as if I had seen the performance myself.

Now if you haven’t had a chance to see St. Paul & The Broken Bones live, you must put this at the top of your concert list. Paul Janeway oozes soul and his band is top notch. Just click play below to view their NPR tiny desk concert and be amazed. St. Paul & The Broken Bones fans, you need to watch this too!

Enjoy!!

Peace + Love + Music
