THE TRABANTS

Trabants was initially formed as a side project by Eric Penna (singer/guitarist of the now defunct Boston band Ketman). The concept was to feature a rotating line-up of Boston's finest musicians playing obscure instrumentals from an assortment of little-known surf and library music records from around the world. A later experiment in vintage mono recording snowballed into Trabants' first full length, "Highwire Surfing" which garnered an Independent Music Award nomination for best instrumental album alongside placement on the show "Becoming" featuring Johnny Knoxville. This collaborative of musicians finds its muse in the dusty bins of 60's instrumental surf, garage, psych, lounge, soundtrack and library music from around the world.

After the interview, Mickey performed a brief, but dynamite set where he stormed through his other classic hits "Mr. Right" and "Stroke". You can see the entire Mickey Avalon interview HERE !!

The rest of the nights celebration was executed perfectly by smokin' performances from LA based funk/pop/soul artist, ADDISON SCOTT and the funky, disco, dance songstress, KIKI KYTE. Not letting up on that dance throttle was HOT TUB JOHNNIE who dropped an encore DJ set loaded with plenty of disco, dance, boogie jams that kept the party rockin' all night.

As we noted above this past radio show was in association with the Sync Summit, so it was loaded with some of today's top trend-setting artists who put on one helluva show. last week's performances spanned across The Mint's Main Room as well as the newly redesigned Mid-City Music Lounge located in the back of The Mint. Last week's performers included Grammy winning music supervisor, GARY CALAMAR who joined Hunnypot for his very first live show. Gary performed a brilliant set of tunes off his forthcoming debut album "You Are What You Listen To" due to drop on 10/14 through Atlantic Records. Kicking things off at The Mid-City Music Lounge was Barbados based rock quartet, THE LONGEST NIGHT who brought out a loud and blistering set of pop, rock tunes. DEBBIE REIFER, took to the Mid-City stage next followed by CARUSO. Rounding out the night at the Mid-City stage was UK based DJ/Production duo, SMOOVE AND TURRELL and kicked out a banging set of upbeat soul jerkin' tunes. Back over at the Main Stage, NY based retro-soul artist, MAYAENI took over with a rockin' set. Melbourne based folk, blues-rock singer-songwriter, HAMISH ANDERSON dropped a killer set of Hendrix inspired guitar hooks. Closing out the night was our headlining act, Grammy award winners, DIRTY VEGAS. This electronic duo of Steve Smith and Paul Harris opened with a stripped down performance of their smash hit from 2001, "Days Go By". The boys were in town to promote their forthcoming album, "Let The Night" due out later this year and released through Rostrum Records. This is the groups first-ever self-released album.
