Tonight: @GROUPLOVE Plays Vegas For FREE

1 Nov

Ok Vegas, here is your reminder so you can’t say “I didn’t know” and miss an incredible show.  Tonight make your way to Book & Stage at The Cosmopolitan where GROUPLOVE will be performing at 10 p.m. and midnight.  Fresh off the release of their debut album, Never Trust A Happy Song, this quintuplet is a band you’re going to want to say you saw way back when.  These guys were my highlight of Lollapalooza, blowing me away more than their EP I had been listening to on repeat all summer.  Not only do they have a great sound but their story is damn cool too.  Check out what I wrote back in June for the skinny on the band.

So let’s recap, GROUPLOVE performing for FREE tonight (and tomorrow) at Book & Stage inside The Cosmopolitan at 10 p.m. and midnight. Got it? Good.  See you there!

New Music: Foster The People & GROUPLOVE Remix Swap

1 Aug

How can I not share this, two of my favorite bands are now remixing each others’ songs.  You’ve got Foster The People’s remix of GROUPLOVE’s “Colours” and GROUPLOVE remixing Foster The People’s “Pumped Up Kicks.”  Give a listen to both below and visit www.RCRDLBL.com for some great fresh remixes.

New Music: GROUPLOVE

28 Jun

Another band I’ve been getting into recently and perfect for summer is GROUPLOVE.  Based out of LA but formed out of one wild musical summer on the island of Crete, members hail from Brooklyn, Los Angeles and London.  From the first listen to their self titled EP it was as if I was already familiar with the sound and heard these songs before.  Each of the six-tracks on the EP present a dynamic indie-rock and pop sound with crisp guitars, solid drums and sheer joy but it is Christian Zucconi’s vocals that stand out and impress me the most.  I still can’t pin his voice to who it reminds me of exactly but it captivates you (perhaps a blend of Todd Shaeffer of From Good Homes and Issac Brock of Modest Mouse?).

Fresh off playing the legendary Glastonbury Festival, GROUPLOVE, are touring outside the states but return for gigs at Lollapalooza and Outside Lands this summer.  If you’re going to one or both, don’t miss their show; you’ll want to see them before their debut release, Never Trust A Happy Song, drops this September.

New Music: Graffiti6 – Colours

5 Oct

I came across the band Graffiti6 and was instantly hooked and that was before I discovered who the masterminds behind the kicking music are.  The British pop/rock duo of producer/DJ Tommy D (Jay-Z, Kanye West, Joss Stone, Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue and wait for it…..Right Said Fred “I’m Too Sexy”) and singer/songwriter Jamie Scott put together an album that was a pleasant surprise and delivers a great soundtrack for the workday, a road trip and just good old hanging around the house.  Check out the single “Stare Into The Sun” from the album Colours below and if you like it, I promise you’ll dig the rest of their music!
