Through the joined forces of Cashmeir, Lipp and Keo, Young MillioNarie$ released the video for their new single "Came From The Bottom". Coming from the south streets, this video is jam-packed with twerking, fancy cars and a sidewalk BBQ. All things Hunnypot approved.
Shortly after the tour for their debut EP "The Skeleton Key", Hunnypot hard rocking' favorite Stitched Up Heart is back with a music video for their new single "Finally Free".
While heavy guitars and a bombastic rhythm section lay metal like a goddamn Vanderbilt, vocalist Mixi Demner (she of the "Hottest Chicks In Metal" fame) conjures notes of Avril Lavigne, Lacey Sturm, and Amy Lee by belting choruses like a super-powered banshee fueled by Hot Topic accessories and kitschy knick-knacks from Spencer's Gifts. The end result is pure, unadulterated, primal essence, and while Stitched Up Heart has never been shy to let out their anger in musical form, they've seemed as emotionally raw as they do in this music video.
A unique fundraising gala for World Sight Day, Sound for Sight is a concert experience in which audience members wear sight-loss simulator glasses to replicate what it's like living with sight loss. The attending artists (see full lineup below) will be playing special, 15-minute sets throughout the night. Tickets are $10 and all proceeds will go to the sight loss charity RP Fighting Blindness.

Andddddd….Hunnypot Live Episode 325 kicked off with a BRAND NEW opening from our very own Ryan Taalbi! Hot Tub Johnnie was leaning more rock with this DJ set and we rocked out to it the entire time. Definitely a party set. The guys kicked it off by drooling over Linda Ronstadt. Shit we would too! Hot Tub Johnnie and the boys got into the night’s lineup. Of course, there were some jokes (lame and otherwise) about Dinosaur Dick. Is Dinosaur Dick’s tag line “Non-cock fun?” There were a lot of other jokes.
We then moved into the second half of Hot Tub Johnnie’s DJ set which began with the amazing Fiona Grey and her song “What you want.” (She will be at the show November 16th!) We closed this set with the new classic Dr. Pepper and Chunky. Side note: “I dun rocked more ice than Michele Quan” is an amazing line from Dr. Pepper.
Jude Gold and his funky self then joined Hot Tube Johnnie and Pesci in the Hot Tub with a guitar. We weren’t sure what was going to happen, but it was epic. Jude Gold played a series of funky tracks during his DJ set and illustrated different aspects of each song.
The young up-and-comers Wes Mantra then took the Hunnypot stage. Lena Fayre followed with a mesmerizing performance. We can see why she’s gaining so much buzz. Well Hung Heart was up next. They had some seriously heartfelt songs in their repertoire. Dinosaur Dick took over The Mint with their act. It was nethanderthal fury personified, complete with random Dinosaur noises. All the way from Chi-town, Grindin’ Pun closed out the night with an energetic performance. Hot Tub Johnnie closed by expressing his love to the listeners. See you next time! 9/21/2015

Singer/songwriter from Canada Megan Landry has a great song in "Six Feet". She hauntingly describes love as something that is dead and gone...buried six feet deep.
The video represents the meaning of the song perfectly. Megan sits still as the world goes forward in time and back in time. She remains unaffected throughout the entire video. Take a look!
