Powered by CircleSquareLA

HOT TUB JOHNNIE and the Hunnypot Radio crew delivered a big night of music. HOT TUB dropped a set of tunes that featured music by TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET, BEARHEART, 2 CHAINZ, and BELOVED BINGE.

KCRW Veteran JASON KRAMER stopped by and threw down a killer set that featured KANT, THE LAKES, and MATT WOODS.

ARIELLE DEEM kicked off the live music with a groovy performance of songs from her debut LP Now Place Like Now followed by New York transplant and electro-pop up-and-comer BECA. Once the tone was firmly established, NICKY DAVEY turned it upside down with his patented blend of r&b/rock fusion, after which MARLEE EAST took the stage to cap off a truly eclectic evening of live music.

BIG THANKS to all who came out and enjoyed the 309th Hunnypot Radio Show!! If you were unable to see the show or missed one of these special performances head over to the Hunnypot Radio page and continue to join us every other Monday night at The Mint as we continue to push the envelope with exposing today’s bubbling music talent.  2/09/2015

beloved binge

We’re invoking ole-ole-ole all around. In a rare (collect) call E.T. told us it was A.O.K. to feature him in his Arc de Dumpdump Atari 2600 video game.

Not only did we make a video from a previous album without having finished videos for our current album, but we also used archival footage from Lost in Space and the US Army. On the video game front, Defender also makes an appearance.

Nothing says alienation from people like aliens. Enjoy.

CHESNEY HAWKES

Approximately 50,000 singles were released in the UK during the nineties. With five weeks at the top, the twentieth most successful release of that entire decade was ‘The One and Only’, the lead song from the soundtrack of the film “Buddy’s Song” sung by a 19 year old Chesney. The song has gone on to be the subject of numerous compilation albums, TV ads, TV theme music, film soundtracks and, now a student anthem, continues to top ‘Best pop song of the nineties’ polls.  

Chesney has worked with writers and producers from a broad section of the industry, among them Mark Goldenberg (The Eels), Jesse Valenzuela (The Gin Blossoms) and Counting Crows producer Marvin Etzioni.  Other collaborators include Howard Jones, the Police’s Stuart Copeland, Nik Kershaw, Bijou Phillips and more Rob Davis (co-writer of Kylie’s Can’t Get you out of My Head). Artists continue to cover his songs and he has had material recorded by three international Pop Idol winners. Tweet @ChesneyHawkes  chesneyhawkes.com



swinghero

SWING HERO

Conceived by Marshall Gallagher (ex-Solar Bear, touring guitarist for 3OH!3) in 2011, Swing Hero is an amalgam of shimmery dreamo and virtuosic post-grunge. The delivery is heavy, pretty and deceptively straightforward. The subject matter: growing up and dealing with heartbreak is exhausting, no matter who you are. Music fans will find a nostalgic comfort in layer after layer of warm guitar, mid-tempo pocket grooves and vocals that are both lyrically sharp and melodically contagious.

For the band, 2014 brings the prospect of at least one brand new release, shows spanning the west coast and midwest, and a chance to prove their true prowess in the wake of their recent relocation to Los Angeles. Swing Hero is climbing steadily, gunning for soft spots and sentimental hearts around the globe. swingheroband.com Follow @swinghero

Sophia Grace is your new #1 girl. She just dropped her new music video "Best Friends" and boy, do 2nd graders know how to party. Sophia and her best friends dance down catwalk have an elaborate shopping spree at Kmart and Sophia throws down some serious rap game. Whether or not the video was intentionally hilarious, it had us laughing pretty hard and  left us thoroughly entertained. We can't wait for the next one Sophia!

Meet Mighty Mark!

East Coast representative is taking names and playing the game right with his tight beats. Hell, he has been working so hard, he is successfully running his own label, Zoo On Mars Entertainment, including but not limited to: Mike-Mike, Dollas Tha Producer, K.S, and TT The Artist who raps on this specific track. Bringing in the new school with a touch of old school club sound, it's undeniable that this Baltimore native is bringing, "some heat to the kitchen!" We chose his cooked up song, "Ping Pong," for our Hunnypot video pick! Guaranteed to get the party started! The music video is filled with funky visuals and booty shaking which compliments the song perfectly. You got some competition Miley Cyrus!

On Monday, January 12th, Hunnypot hosted a night of incredible music at the West Los Angeles venue, The Mint. For those that don’t know already, Hunnypot is a music publishing, artist representation, marketing and film & television placement organization specializing in discovering and cultivating fresh music talent.

The intimate space provided a close up view of all the bands that performed and opportunity to mingle with them post show too. I was able to catch two acts- Celeste Stoney and Magnolia Memoir.

celeste2

I walked into The Mint just as Ms. Celeste was belting out an incredible rendition of Sam Smith’s “Stay With Me”. Her voice is sultry and hit every note with poise and perfection. I was instantly hooked and was eager to hear more. She continued to perform songs off her debut EP. I especially enjoyed her bouncy and fun “My Kinda Crazy”.

Celeste successfully engaged the audience with her 8 piece band and roof shattering vocals and I look forward to seeing where this promising star goes.

Stay tuned for my All Access Music interview with her soon!

Next up to the stage was LA’s own Magnolia Memoir! They certainly wasted no time getting down to business, delivering a mix of jazz, funk and rock to an attentive crowd.  As the front-woman of the band, Mela Lee’s strong presence on stage is undeniable. She commands attention and delivers touching and thoughtful lyrics with poise.

Magnolia Memoir played an assortment of songs off their latest album, Pale Fire. Songs like the sweetly catchy “Odds & Ends” and soulfoul “No One Like You” were especially enjoyed.

It was definitely a highlight of the evening when Magnolia Memoir bass player, Gordon Bash stood on top of his instrument as he strummed.

For more information on Magnolia Memoir, check out my December with lead guitarist, Aron Forbes here: http://music.allaccess.com/an-interview-with-the-talented-aron-forbes-of-la-rock-band-magnolia-memoir/

BAD LANDS does it again! Mowgli and Rocky's, "Shotgun," leaves you with your head in the clouds thinking about your old high school lover.

BAD LANDS sings in their catchy hook, "Take Me Anywhere," and so we brought them here...

VIDEO PICK of the week!!

Popping champagne in slow motion is always attractive, especially when you got this tune bringing it to life.

The good vibes definitely echo when listening to BAD LANDS and it makes sense that they are from LA!! 

Props to BAD LANDS, for a killer single!

I think I speak for all of us when I say we want more!
