HOT TUB JOHNNIE and the Hunnypot Radio crew took to The Mint last week for the 312th Hunnypot Radio Show. This show Hot Tub Johnnie came out the gates with a special set of tunes by HOLLIS BROWN, BEST COAST, LIL B, VIC MENSA and MUCH MORE.

Our special industry guest was MIKE GORMLEY, this industry veteran has been rubbing shoulders and making deals with huge players for over 40 years, so we figured it was about time he joined us to talk about his career and play some of his favorite songs that were with him a long the way. Mike’s playlist featured songs by RONNIE HAWKINS, THE BANGLES, NEW YORK DOLLS, CONCRETE BLONDE and MANY MORE great classic tunes.

Kicking off the live music segment of the show was LA based experimental electronic duo, SEAGOAT. This crafty duo performed a solid set of electronic pop tunes with an experimental edge. Next to hit the stage was LA based (via Boston) pop duo, WATERBED. This exciting up-and-coming electronic pop duo is on the bubble of many great things. With their new album in the works WATERBED bounced through an infectious set loaded with catchy melodies, quirky beats, and big booming choruses. Highlights included brilliant performances of their singles, “WHERE YOU ARE”, “SOMETHIN” and “SWEET N’ SOUR”. DO NOT sleep on WATERBED as they will be performing many shows around the LA area throughout 2015. Closing out the night was LA based R&B vocalist, and featured member of the Odd Future side project, The Internet, TAY WALKER. Performing with a full band, Tay tightly groovedthrough a smooth set that grabbed the attention of all in attendance. Truly one of the top male vocalists in the R&B game at the moment, we highly suggest to keep an eye on Tay Walker. Be sure to check out and support all these talented artists.

BIG THANKS to all who came out and enjoyed the 311th 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.  3/23/2015

Tay Walker

"I wanted little pieces of things in it that makes you think 'why is life full of games,'" Walker tells The Juice of the Drew Kirsch-directed video. "I know what it's like to have my heart broken and so does the world. This video is the exact feeling of that. This video shows how love can leave you alone with a lot of time on your hands to think about the games that are played between two people in love."  You may recognize Tay Walker. The Inglewood, Calif. artist is the keyboardist and a vocalist in The Internet, also consisting of Odd Future's Syd the Kyd, Matt Martians, Patrick Page and Christopher A. Smith.  "Karma" is a stand-out track from his upcoming project, "25 Hours a Day." The effort, slated for a Spring release, will feature Casey Veggies and Mac Miller and production by Syd, Harry Fraud and more. "25 Hours a Day" follows up Walker's self-titled EP, released in September. Tweet @taywalker

San Diego's The Young Wild have been entertaining us all year with their addictive pop tracks like Not A One. The simplistic yet captivating video is essentially a performance art piece that can't be missed. 

Published in Video Picks

The rough-and-rowdy, unruly, and unapologetic sounds that are Casey Miller, and Megan Wise, also known as the Bardyard Stompers, have some rather exciting news for their flock of hardcore fans. That news being their recent signing with Hunnypot Unlimited as of this morning, this hellacious twosome just announced today!

If you are anything like the writers here at the page, than chances are that you are more than disgusted at the sight of what is being marketed as “country” music today. If that’s so, then this is the band for you! With a sound that is anything but ordinary, this unique grouping of neo-traditional, outlaw influenced troubadours is one to leave you talking, or cussing the one that gone, and done you wrong. These ass kicking, boot stomping, won’t take shit off of no-damn-body Texas roughnecks offer a valid showcase of substance, and integrity. This is a dive, bucket of blood bar band all the way, and we mean that with the utmost respect. With their blatant display of honesty, and tough driving tracks that are destined to have you howlin’ along with each verse that flows consistently like the midnight air. They’re hell bound, and destined for good times while leaving a trail of broken parts in the dust on their journey forward.

These two have shared the stage with such notable acts as Whitey Morgan, Scott H. Biram, Roger Alan Wade, as well as so many other talented musicians, and bands. Casey Miller wales on the guitar,  incorporating a

raunchy harmonica, and “sings with the power of Waylon and Jones, the passion of Howlin’ Wolf, and the darkness of the Man in Black.” Megan Wise drives a hard beat, producing a huge, and powerful sound as she pounds away on the skins. Her vocal style is like that of Kitty Wells, and she can swing the Hell out of a guitar any day of the week. The multi-talented, multi-tasking Wise always captivates her audience when she plays guitar, and drums together with less effort than the one-man-bands who talks a good game but just cannot keep up with her. Together, they put on a show like no other, and cause enough raucous to turn the head of any passerby. Now, with the right backing, there is really no telling how far these two can go with their music.

For those of you that are unfamiliar with Hunnypot Unlimited. They operate as a multifaceted music publishing, artist representation, television, film marketing organization that specializes in discovering, as well as cultivating fresh aspiring talents within the music community. The Hunnypot Unlimited brand is quite synonymous for quality music and arts of high standards, and is recognized as one of the premier industry tastemaker sources.

Now be sure to head on over to the official Barnyard Stompers webpage to download, and purchase some quality records that we just know you’re going to love, along with some excellent  f***in’ merchandise!

Carly Robyn Green 

It was at the Grammy Awards that Carly was singing as a back-up vocalist for Cee Lo Green, when Cee Lo shared with her some invaluable advice.  Carly had been writing and recording of-the-moment electro-pop songs, heeding the mainstream pop music industry’s commercial demands of young adult female artists.  These tracks, and others, have received 1.5 million YouTube views for features on over 90 television shows spanning 30+ networks, including NBC’s 30 Rock and Fashion Star, ABC’s One Life to Live, etc.  Merging warm, nuanced, sensitive, powerhouse vocals, with memorable melodies, meaningful lyrics, and contemporary arrangements that integrate select elements from classic pop’s distant and recent past, the piece of work reflects a unique, sophisticated timelessness for the modern adult-contemporary market.

YOUNG CREATURES

They toil in deserts and on busy freeways, at the top of massive seaside cliffs and in the dim neighborhood dives of sunny L.A.  The landscape is rife with energy and all the while they are collecting.  Despite the great abundance they are not taking but merely assimilating, recording, merging and regurgitating their interpretation of the beauty and chaos all around.  They are Young Creatures.  Attempts to describe them often land at “psych” -- as in “psychedelic,” “psych-pop hypnotists,” or a “psych-rock band in pop clothing.”  The terminology is often bogged down by notions of illicit indulgences or foolhardy voyages into the vast inner unknown.  But this particular brand of rock ‘n roll is more than a simple affront to the machine-pop dominating our present-day collective consciousness.  It is an alternative translation of the world around us, one that captures the essence of power and beauty and emotion that human beings are uniquely attuned to, that our machines allow us to ignore.  That is the goal.

“The voice box is the most amazing instrument that we take for granted. Once you harness the power that it holds, creation is endless!  While I’m able to use technology to my advantage, I can capture ideas as they come out and present them in real time to the audience.”

There is nothing Jase Beatboxer can’t do;  he is like a machine and when he turns on, your mind will be blown.

Billy Gottlieb

The mind behind Playback Music Supervision needs no introduction for many who are keen to his craft, but for those of you who don't know Billy Gottlieb, allow us to catch you up on his work: Pulp Fiction, Bring It On, The Basketball Diaries, and many others exemplify the versatility necessary to become one of the most active music supervisors in the world, which our man Billy most certainly is. Though 2015 may be very, very young, Billy G has the distinction of already having 4 television series set to air in the new year - all of which feature drastically different musical styles. We're shocked and flattered that he's taken the time out of his busy schedule to spin some of his favorite tunes with us, and you should be too.

WALLA

WALLA formed out of different times, places, and hardships. By random chance, these 5 individuals found each other through digital means and a common love for inventing new wavelengths. The sound reflected confusion and hopelessness during a time of tough life decisions and rough financial circumstances. But through sheer perseverance and the culmination of different influences (everything from pop, funk, samba, rock, metal, folk, disco, and neo-psychedelia) WALLA quickly made an indestructible pact to maintain strong melodies and lyrics, putting above and beyond care and effort into each decibel of sound produced (almost to the point of neuroticism), and allowing each song to breathe its own life and soul. "We loved the idea of not knowing what type of song we would come up with next." Follow @TheWallaBand
