The band debuted successfully in Mexico City before jetting to the U.K. to play the La Linea Festival and make an emotional stop in Manchester, and then played sold-out shows in New York City and Los Angeles.

Canadian folk rock band Whitehorse takes on 12-bar-blues with “Nadine,” a reimagined cover of Chuck Berry’s 1964 hit of the same name. The song is off their upcoming EP, The Northern South Vol. 1, which features a collection of rock ‘n’ roll chart-toppers by the likes of Berry, Little Walter and other Chess and Checker recording artist
Whitehorse’s live show is built on mesmerizing guitar work and smoldering vocal chemistry, but also brings much more to the stage with complex layers of percussion, keyboard and telephone receiver amplification, tangled like an embrace with the help of looping pedals. Their sold out Winter Garden Theatre show in February, 2012 signaled their unquestionable arrival as a band.
Purple are a three piece band from South-East Texas and originate from a small oil town called Beaumont and sits near the Louisiana state line.

Purple know just how to party, and they portray this in a lot of their music with the appearance of messy drunk parties. If you like to party then Purple is a band for you!
In our next HUNNYPOT VIDEO PICK we bring you this rowdy, loud and down right hard-drinking single, Hurtin' (On The Bottle) from Margo Price!
Wait, who’s this again? This seems to be the common response when you play someone Price's music. Unfairly labeled as the female savior for real twang, most people throw out country’s classic female artists when they hear a few tunes. Whatever name you feel like drumming up in comparison, one thing is for sure that Margo Price is the REAL deal!
Hunnypot is still in the race. Hot Tub Johnnie began the night with his platform of groovy tunes.

There is a line between insanity and genius that Mark Mallman has built a career on. His solid songwriting and wild stage persona have earned him opening spots on stages with artists as diverse from Cat Power to Green Day to Guided by Voices to name a fraction. Mallman’s expansive catalog of infinitely catchy rock songs has rocked the airwaves of MTV, VH1, NPR, and dozens of major motion picture trailers and video games.
On 2016's The End Is Not The End, Mallman exposes himself to the to rawest nerve, the likes of which haven’t been heard since Neutral Milk Hotel's In an Aeroplane Over The Sea or The Eels’ Electro-Shock Blues. It is a deliberate meditation on overcoming the roots of despair. But even so, this is a timeless, kick ass rock record. As Mallman sings it: “I didn't know where I was going / till I stopped believing and I started knowing / The story of life is what was manifested where once was a void.”
He's been written about by Rolling Stone, Pitchfork, USA Today, Wired, NME, The Toronto Star, Chicago Sun-Times, the Denver Post and so on. However, despite this substantial list of credits, he's also been characterized as a madman numerous times, by numerous sources, over the years. Possibly for his “Elton Johnny Rotten” live show.
But most likely Mallman actually is a mad genius for staging four of his “Marathon” events over the years, including a non-stop, non-sleep 78-hour song with 576-pages of lyrics, all live from his hometown’s Turf Club in an endurance exercise much more akin to John Cage than David Blaine. Did the 110 musicians and over 25,000 people who tuned into the internet broadcast during its peak think Mr. Serious (nickname) was nuts? Hopefully.
Hmm, maybe Mallman isn’t such a madman after all…
