Hunnypot is proud to present the 1st single from Louis Prima Jr and The Witnesses BLOW album out June 10th, 2014. Check the official lyric video for "Go Lets Go," there are Easter Eggs a plenty.
"BLOW is as eclectic and unique as each member of my powerhouse band. With our collective talents and diverse musical tastes, we wind up with a raucous roller coaster ride of tail-shakin', foot-stampin', horn-driven smiles. We didn't set out to simply write music we thought the fans wanted to hear. We wanted to challenge ourselves musically and also challenge the listener. If music does not come honestly from your soul, it will ultimately be short lived,"
- Louis Prima Jr.

July Talk is an indie rock band from Toronto, Canada. Their interesting blend of musical genres creates a sound like no other. The band consists of Peter Dreimanis, Leah Fay, Ian Docherty, Josh Warburton and Danny Miles. They are signed to Sleepless Records and this song is off their self titled album 'July Talk'. Check out their awesome song "Guns + Ammunition" here:
Hot Tub Johnnie and the HP Radio crew were back at it for their 287th show this time at The Black Rose Tavern (aka The Joint). Hot Tub kicked out jams by LA's HOLYCHILD, Coldplay, The Cramps, Head of the Herd, Seven Saturdays and many more.
Our guest DJ of the night was LA based music fiend and rock blogster, Jolynn Braswell. Founder of the highly sought after LA based Bad Ass Bands blog, Jolynn curated a very special handpicked set of some of her favorite rock n' roll jams. Including cuts from…The Janks, Heavy Heavy Hearts, No Small Children, The Shakers and much more.
Kicking off our live segment was LA based pop, rock, band, Flavia & The Red. The performance was anchored by Flavia's strong soulful vocals and tight rhythm section. Bringing together a mix of classic and modern R&B with energetic pop melodies.
Next to take over the stage was our headlining act, The Great Escape. Performing their very first show togteher, this LA based four piece lead by the exceptionally talented, Amie Miriello packed the house and stole the entire show - even being asked to do an encore of their first song "All I Think About". We highly suggest checking out The Great Escape live and experiencing their raw, high energy, bluesy, soul rock vibe in person.
Closing out the night was none other than Pioneering mash-up, DJ producer, and guitarist for The Great Escape, iPunx (aka Malte Hagemeister). iPunx showcased his legendary mash-up technique with an eclectic mix of dance house, rock, pop, breakbeat, hip hop and electro.
Huge thanks to everyone that came out to support, perform, and both the The Black Rose Tavern and Hunnypot crews. We couldn’t make it all happen without each and every one of you! 03/24/2014
Los Angeles-based band, Flavia & The Red, has shot onto the music scene like a bullet. The principal singer and songwriter is 22-year-old Flavia Watson. Born in California, but raised through her formative years in Ireland and Italy, Flavia exhibits a traveled and seasoned prowess that most women her age lack. Equipped with a sultry and soulful voice, her presence is the personification of the color red—emotional, fiery, and passionate. The band’s overall sound contains elements of classic and modern R&B, pop, and rock. Anchored by a tight rhythm section, the music exhibits memorable melodies and interactive improvisation with Flavia’s emotional and poetic lyrics at the forefront. Flavia & The Red is taking the future into its own hands and will continue to grow as it has over the last few years. They have already been featured on various blogs and magazines, including the cover story for LA lifestyle magazine, Back Seat Quarterly, and in Dublin, Ireland’s Intallaght Magazine. They are currently on rotation for various radio stations around the U.S and performed live on television for WGN, as well as on Park City Television in Park City, Utah. They are constantly writing new material, planning more tours across the country, and have a new album in the works.
What is your greatest Escape? Where would you go if you could? Would it be far away? Or very close to your heart? Welcome to The Great Escape. We are a band from Los Angeles, California. We met each other writing songs for other artists. But soon we realized we needed to create something that resonates with us. With who we are. With where we come from. With our roots. We love the 60′s. The 70′s. When Rock, Soul, Blues and Folk was raw. Unpolished. So we had a lot of fun capturing the moment. The vibe. The heart. The Great Escape is Amie Miriello, Malte Hagemeister and Kristian Nord. Thanks for finding us. Just close your eyes. Listen. And follow your heart.
Of like minded individuals, whose number one priority is expanding not only their skill set, but their brand, collectively.

Since 2005, iPunx has been one of Europe’s great mashup pioneers. After touring massively in and around Germany, he’s landed with a mashed-up crash here in Venice, CA.
In the initial 3 smash EP’s and seamless mashup album “Destroying Dancefloor”, IPunx showcased an eclectic mix of house, rock, hiphop, punk and electro, ending up in many DJ charts around the world, including BBC Pete Tong’s Buzz charts (#3). Initially a duo, and in spite of years of successful touring, the two members of iPunx parted ways in the late 2000′s to pursue individual careers. After relocating to LA, a now solo iPunx resurrected the project in 2013. iPunx sound ranges from chill sunrise sets with little known acoustic covers to party sets with funky mashups and remixes that combine electro, hip-hop, dub step, rock, pop, soul, folk, funk and party breaks. His credo: “Never originals. Always fun.” What’s the crowd’s reaction? ” Usually, WTF is that?” And then their hips are shaking and they’re singing along with giant smiles plastered on their faces. iPunx has played crazy fun parties in 2013 in Joshua Tree, Baja, CA and with Boogaloo and Dirty Beetles at Burning Man. You can groove live to his mixalicious mashups weekly at The Bank of Venice on the Windward Circle. Check out www.iPunx.com for upcoming performances and new releases.
The Dollyrots fifth album,"Barefoot and Pregnant", has climbed the Billboard charts to the fanfare of fans an critics alike. Unfazed by such pomp and circumstance the band continues to labor for the love of their fans, painstakingly making unique lyric videos for the entire album. The first three have been released in the past few weeks, and it's only fitting that we share them with you on the one month anniversary of the release of this Pop-Punk Masterpiece.
Louis Prima Jr. and the Witnesses (louisprimajr.com) are bringing Prima music into the 21st century. Not content to sit on the legacy they so passionately protect, LPJ and the band are taking a page from his father’s playbook, by wailing Prima Swing like it’s 2014.
Less concerned about reliving the past than about creating a future for it, Louis Prima Jr and the Witnesses bring new energy and a current attitude to the masses with The Wildest Show this side of the 1960’s. Since their breakout performance at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (aka Jazz Fest), #TeamPrima has performed everywhere from Seattle to Palermo, from small clubs to performing arts centers, from casino showrooms to music festivals, and from Access Hollywood Live to PBS.? LPJ and the Band are currently touring in support of their second Warrior Records/Universal Music Distribution (warriorrecords.com) release, BLOW – a collection of original music (save for a couple of surprises) as eclectic and unique as each member of this powerhouse band. Building off of the success of their critically acclaimed debut CD Return of the Wildest!, the band has brought together many years of diverse musical tastes into their second offering. From the first thunderous stomps of the title track, it is evident that this isn’t your daddy’s swing music, but a raucous roller coaster ride of tail-shakin’, foot-stampin’, horn-driven smiles.
If you’ve seen them in concert, you’ll know a bit about what to expect from the musical minds of the Witnesses. As energetic and over-the-top as their live shows, BLOW continues the ever-changing musical journey that Prima Sr. began in the 30s. "With the band’s collective talents and diverse musical tastes, we wind up with a sound unique to this band, while staying true to the boisterous Prima style,” says Louis. “We didn’t set out to simply write music we thought the fans wanted to hear. We wanted to challenge ourselves musically and also challenge the listener. You can’t fool the fans by trying to force the word ‘daddy-o’ into every song. If music does not come honestly from your soul, it will ultimately be short lived.”
Recorded at Capitol Records in Studio B, where Prima Sr. recorded his hits of the 50s and 60s, the seriousness of this music is masked only by the obvious fun that was had making it. It’s been 50 years since legendary Prima music shook the walls of Capitol. A new legend is being born, and it will BLOW you away!
