A Hunnypot favorite, Nicole Millar has joined forces with Peking Duk for this down-tempo indie dance anthem. The track recently hit number one on Australias Triple J radio. The video follows the main character into the woods where he meets with fellow fur and paint clad friends who fight, scream and play with each other. Well worth a peek. For you locals, Peking Duk is playing the Aussie BBQ at The Bootleg this Sunday along with a ton of other great Aussie artists.
In honor of Canada's Olympic Gold in Hockey, which no doubt led to some amazing partying/borderline-riots, we bring you some of the finest music from America's favorite upstairs neighbor. We have become fast fans of this foreign fellowship, and are excited to introduce them to an American audience. Head of the Herd mixes power, vigor, and suave badassery like weary gunslingers with golden hearts. The first single off their second full release "By This Time Tomorrow" walks the tightrope between Modern Boulevard and Vintage Road with grit and surprising vulnerability. For more on these Vancouver-based up-and-comers check out their website. Shout out to Mother Mother's Jasmin Parker on her guest appearance!
Armed with Childish Gambino level satire and Cash Money level production, the Bare Handed Bear Handlers have hit the NOLA scene running. Fresh off a recent win for Best Comedy Video at the New Orleans Comedy Arts Festival, this nonsensical yet surprisingly sharp group has more than just good timing, a unique style, and a penchant for the profane… they have balls. Saggy balls.
The Dollyrots have been very busy bunnies, birthing both literal and musical babies. After an amazingly successful crowd fund through Pledge Music, their fifth album, Barefoot & Pregnant officially releases this Tuesday Feb. 25 on none other than Hunnypot Records. In celebration, they hosted an amazing record release party at The Satellite 2/20/14. Links to purchase the album are below, Here's to another 14 years of pop-punk! Cheers!
A favorite amongst Hunnypotters, The Preatures have treated us with another single off their highly anticipated debut album due out later this year. Following their single Is This How You Feel, Better Than It Ever Could Be is equally as infectiously poppy and just catchy as hell. The video throws you back to the 80's complete with 3D visuals and Space Invaders (the video game). The Preatures will be joining a slew of fellow Australian artists at SXSW as well as Coachella and maybe your local music festival too so keep an eye out.
We're proud to announce that two of our newest acts have been nominated by LA Weekly to contend for the title of Best Live Band in Los Angeles!

Happy Birthday Aquarians! I'm sure you've all been diggin' the new Metronomy track. Well, now you've got the video too. Finally we can put that 5th Dimension song to bed (Age of Aquarius). Why do you guys get all the Astrological Sign pride songs anyway? Because you're all so successful and fun and just all around awesome?! No that just our CEO. His birthday's the 13th. Happy Birthday John Anderson!
The video was directed by award-winning French director Edouard Salier and produced by The Creators Project and Somesuch & Co. It follows space suit wearing Joe Mount to a glowing red planet inhabiting giant hairless cats and women wearing very elaborate headpieces. The new album called Love Letters, out on March 10 through Because Music.
