This chick's got problems but in the best way possible and that's why we love her. Nova Rockafeller; the accidental gangster is a crazy party girl and she's bringin' it to Hunnypot this Monday December 2nd live at The Mint. Even though her album isn’t out yet, she’s worked with She Wants Revenge’s Justin Warfield and has been remixed by the Hood Internet. Kids, you won't want to miss this one!
Hot Tub Johnnie and the HP Radio crew dropped another blowout show last week at The Mint. Hot Tub dropped some of his top favorites which included a special ode to the late musical legend, Lou Reed playing his classic "Merry Go Round". Plus sharing tracks from Laura Mvula, Purple, Seven Saturdays, Nova Rockafeller and many more.
LA tastemaker and High Voltage Magazine Founder,Chelsea Schwartz joined us for a very special sit down interview and DJ Set.

Ms Schwartz featured jams from8mm, Moon Taxi, John Flanagan, Hanson and much more. For all the latest from High Voltage, follow them at https://facebook.com/highvoltagemagazine.
Hunnypot tastemaker, Boom Shack layed out new gems from NONONO, Lizzo, ASTR, Night Panther, HBK Gangand many more.
Kicking off the live performances were Seattle based electro, alt-rock quintet, Eclectic Approach. Having already played for Jimmy Kimmel, these boys took over right from the start, bringing a high energy pop blend of hip hop, funk and electro which ignited an exciting dancefloor party.
LA's own, Mikey Pauker went on next and completely packed the house as his loyal fans took over The Mint. Mikey performed a brilliant set of folk pop jams reminiscent of Jack Johnson and even Fleet Foxes.
Hitting the stage a little after 11pm and completely blowing the roof off was LA based Irish rockers, The Black Shamrocks. They rocked out with a Guiness-fueled set of unique Celtic rock backed by high energy punk grooves that brings to mind Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphy's, but with a swagger and style that is perfected by lead singer, Amy Showalter.
Closing out the night was LA based hip hop artist, Bjay Mcfly. Known for his hit "The Homies", Bjay did not dissapoint as Mcfly held down a banging set with full support from his "Homies" who came out and brought swagger to the dancefloor.
Huge thanks to everyone that came out to support, perform, and both the The Mint and Hunnypot crews. We couldn’t make it all happen without each and every one of you! If you missed the show or just want more, you can listen back to all the performances and DJ sets at the HUNNYPOT website. 11/18/2013
Glancing deeply into her crystal ball you will see that Chelsea has been moving mountains since the age of 14. Being a Texas native, nothing stands in Chelsea’s way from attaining her lifelong dreams of joining the circus (also known as the music industry). She’s written for several publications, handled marketing campaigns for various labels, and toured the world with numerous bands. Find her today predicting tomorrow’s next big thing over at High Voltage, a music magazine, marketing and management company Chelsea started 10 years ago.
Eclectic Approach is a band built on perseverance. After three self released albums and four years of constant touring, the band was selected at SXSW as the top unsigned band in the U.S. by the Ourstage Panel, which included industry heavyweights Bruce Tyler (former VP of Sony and Columbia Music), Scott Igoe (talent booker for Jimmy Kimmel Live), Sharon Dastur (Program Director Z100, New York, NY) and Lee Dannay (Vice President of A&R Warner/Chappell Music). The band was flown to New York City to record an EPK with legendary producer David Hewitt (U2, Aretha Franklin) and Emmy Award winning director Mitchell Stewart. Most recently the band was a musical guest on ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live.
Originally a hip-hop group, EA’s music has grown and developed into a blend of electro-funk, dance, pop and garage rock that just feels and sounds like a party. “We just love a good party,” said singer Jowed Hadeed, “we want people to come to a show and just freak out for a while. It’s cathartic for us and them.”
Mikey Pauker is an emerging folk music artist hailing from Los Angeles, California. Mikey’s musical sensibility has a global feel, and he names Damien Rice, Jack Johnson, Ray LaMontagne, Dan Nichols, Julie Silver, Debbie Friedman, and Fleet Foxes among his influences. Mikey and his band The JoyMachine have worked with renowned producers Troy Dexter and Evan Vidar, performed at The Mint and Hotel Utah, and shared the stage with Local Natives, Matisyahu, and Fools Gold, among others. An experiential educator, he has worked and played extensively in the Jewish community at festivals and retreats and is breaking the boundaries of traditional Jewish music.
The Black Shamrocks is a Los Angeles based, Guinness-fueled, kick-arse, high-energy rock n’ roll Pub band! More than just an Irish Rock band, The Black Shamrocks has moved that style of music beyond those musical boundaries, to create a hybrid genre of Irish Rock and American Pop. Similar in sound to bands like Flogging Molly and Dropkick Murphys, but with a powerful, dynamic, and sexy lead vocalist, Amy Showalter. She leads this band of talented, world tour veteran musicians. And can Amy sing? Ask any of the millions who watched her sing all the way to the final 4 of NBC’s new national singing competition show, “The Winner Is”. The answer is Abso-damn-lutely! The Black Shamrocks, a unique Celtic style of rock n’ roll, with swagger to spare!
Closing out the 11/18 show is Bjay Mcfly. Bjay Mcfly is a 23 year old artist from Los Angeles, California. Growing up with plenty musical influences it wasn’t long before Bjay came into his own and started his journey in this Industry. Bjay Mcfly’s debut project Flight 88 was just released earlier this year with some potent party songs like “The Homies,” featuring Mann & KidRED.

Last week psychedelic kiwi Connan Mockasin released his new album Caramel and now this creepily seductive video for I’m the Man, That Will Find You. Mockasin prowls around a young girls home while she does mundane activities until he creeps up behind her and the whole video turns into some kid of b-role for porn. It’s hilarious. Enjoy!

What kind of food does a true, real man make? That's right, it's pancakes. The hip-hop turned electro-funk dance pop group Eclectic Approach went all out for this video.

"Would you just watch the hair!?" - Tony Manero
Hunnypot's own Baron Von Luxxury has put out remix of the iconic Bee Gees Night Fever song and it is killin' it on the dance floor! The accompanying video is a short clip of Tony Manero (John Travolta) combing his hair that has been slowed down to the absolute slowest speed possible almost to the point of uncomfortable humor. It's simple brilliance. Also, you cant help but reminisce of how god damn sexy Travolta used to be.

Hot Tub Johnnie and the HP Radio crew dropped another fantastic show last week at The Mint. Hot Tub played some of his top favorites from Go Wolf, Polaris Rose, Chela, Holy Ghost and many more.
LA tastemaker, Shane Carpenter of All Scene Eye joined us for a special interview and handpicked dj set. Shane curated an exceptional collection of his top jams, featured cuts from Races, LA Font (playing HPR 12/16), Body Parts, Mr Elevator & the Brain Hotel and much more. stay up-to-date with all his latest happenings at https://facebook.com/AllSceneEye.
Kicking off the live performances were LA based rock band Black Belt Karate. Despite being short a member BBK powered on with a blistering acoustic set of tracks off their current EP titled Volume 1.
LA's own, Adult Cinema took to the stage next and blew us away with their infectious hooks of soul and rockin' disco beats. They brought a killer garage rock sound that is late 70s punk rock worthy and topped it with dashes of new wave and power pop that had us all moving and grooving all night. We highly recommend listening back to their smokin' set.
Closing out the show was none other than LA based alt-folk rockers, A House For Lions. AHFL jumped to the stage with a robust rock sound layered with soothing melodies that is reminiscent of the 90s rock we all know and love. Be sure to sit back and replay A House For Lions' exceptional Hunnypot performance. For all the latest updates on music, shows and more, follow AHFL at https://facebook.com/ahouseforlions.

Shane Carpenter came to LA 4 years ago and fell in love with the music scene. At a show early in his LA stay, he was inspired to change his focus from art to music. In and around music, he has created LA Phun, blogged for LA Record, and booked shows at Hear Gallery. Most recently, Carpenter’s been one of the co-creators of LA’s All Scene Eye; a collective designed to represent the different arts communities that its founders are invested in. All Scene Eye hosts a free monthly event at the Virgil the first Tuesday of every month.
Black Belt Karate formed in summer 2012 after one-time bandmates Mezilis and Hanifl reconnected, after a previous stint in LA indie rock band Your Horrible Smile. The quartet is rounded out by bassist Harry Anthony Ostrem and drummer Ryan Brown – both veterans of countless stage, film and studio work who have recently collaborated with members of Guns N’ Roses, Rush and David Bowie. The band released their debut EP "Volume 1" [Organic Audio / BFM Digital] on April 23, 2013. Black Belt Karate is produced, recorded and mixed by Jason Achilles Mezilis at Organic Audio Recorders, LA - all tracks mastered by Mike Houge.
L.A.-based garage-rockers Adult Cinema carbon-date to the late 1970s, when punk rock was morphing into a thing called new wave and power-pop bands were adapting their infectious hooks to soul and disco beats. Enormous fun at the time, and just as exhiliarating the way singer-guitarist Randy Michael and his quintet are doing it now. Michael didn’t just pop out of a loft in Hollywood — he has a long resumé that includes stints in Atlanta’s mod revivalists The Booze, along with gigs playing for Public Enemy, Butch Walker and London’s Joe Lean & the Jing Jang Jong. Now relocated to L.A., Michael has also stood in with Tin Nordwind’s Pyrramids and St. Louis punkers Living Things. (And he cameos as drummer in two of the new David Bowie videos.) Adult Cinema is a coed affair, including Kristin Brokaw (last spotted playing in Rocket), Katy Keys (Crimson Lust), Bosh Berlin (Living Things/Pyrramids) and Andy Moreno (Babylon Sweethearts).
Daniel Norman, singer/songwriter of A House for Lions, was a music lover who never intended to become a musician. But while hitchhiking through Germany, a melody and a few words popped into his head and never left. In that moment, he realized it might be possible to get off of the fence and create a project of his own; at least, it would be fun to try. In early 2010 he found an unlikely group of strangers, adding guitarist and designer Mike Nissen, bass player Eric McCann and drummer Joe Luisi, A House for Lions has developed a sound that according to The Deli Magazine “manages to blend the sleeker side of angsty 90s rock with the laid-back instrumentation and heart-string pulling melodies you might expect from an alt-country band”.
