Now Playing: Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers – “Hey Stranger”

30 Jul

The self titled album from Nicki Bluhm & The Gramblers drops August 27 but lucky for you, you don’t have to wait to hear “Hey Stranger,” the second single off the upcoming album. This track along with the first single, “A Little Too Late” are bound to be on repeat for you for the rest of the summer.  And if you don’t live in the desert like me where it’s hotter than hot, you’ll probably be jamming this in your car with the windows down.

News: @WalkTheMoonband Self Titled Album Drops Today!

19 Jun

I couldn’t be more excited today for the fellas of Walk The Moon as they release their self titled debut album on RCA Records. Having had the pleasure of meeting the guys, interviewing them and seeing them in concert at Bonnaroo, Lollapalooza and here in Las Vegas I feel like I’ve kind of been along for the ride a little. I’m beyond stoked that they are now getting heavy airplay, being tabbed by MTV as a Push artist, Esquire.com adding them to the songs of the summer (for a second year in a row) and more. These guys are still ascending and it’s one of those things that just makes me smile; plus I think everyone should be digging their music and right in time for summer it’s perfect tunes to enjoy three months of sunshine. Added bonus, tune in to David Letterman tonight where the guys will be the special music act.

1.) Quesadilla
2.) Lisa Baby
3.) Next In Line
4.) Anna Sun
5.) Tightrope
6.) Jenny

New Music: Alabama Shakes – Boys & Girls

9 Apr

Every music fan should be excited this week as the Alabama Shakes release their debut album, Boys & Girls (available for iTunes download now).  From the first moment I heard Brittany Howard’s voice I was infatuated and just loved her band’s sound.  To me, Alabama Shakes are a throwback to an era when the best music was being made and creativity was at an all time high.  Do yourself a favor, get this album, crank it up and just listen.  This is what rock and roll is!

They are the up-and-comers with the biggest buzz right now (I told you to hop on the train last November) and if you have the opportunity to catch them live this summer, do not miss out (I’m getting mine finally, at Bonnaroo).

News: Bono Inspired by Temper Trap for New U2 Albums

11 Jan

Saw the below online and wanted to share as it’s not every day a rock legend like Bono gives praise to a band.  Icouldn’t be happier for the Temper Trap and looking forward to their next album!

From the Herald Sun:

BONO has cited Melbourne band the Temper Trap as an inspiration on the new U2 album.

Talking on the U2.com site to fans, Bono said the band was working on three albums with different musical directions.

“Something really exciting is that finally the rock band is melting into clubland and experimenting with sounds that are not normally deemed authentic for the rock band – synthesizers, experimental sounds – which you can hear in an album by the Temper Trap,” Bono said. “That’s exciting, a new hybrid.”

The Temper Trap, whose hit Sweet Disposition was compared with the sounds of U2, has been recording its second album, due for release mid-year, in LA and London.
