"Twist Me to the Left" off the self-titled, fan-funded album released by The Dollyrots September 18th 2012. This is a song about touring so it seemed fitting to use some of their favorite tour footage filmed on the road in Dallas, TX. Their pal Jaret Reddick (front man for Bowling for Soup) and Built By Ninjas directed, shot and edited this one for us and we LOVE how it turned out. Turn it up and hit PLAY!

Best Fit Recordings/Warner Music Sweden's very own NONONO made their television début this past week, with a performance of their single ‘Pumpin Blood’. ‘Pumpin Blood’ is set to follow on the heels of ‘Like The Wind‘, which was recently remixed by Enjoyed and Alexander Palmestål. The song unfurls like something trying to escape from the confines of your speakers, and damn near accomplishes this via some epic whistling.

Bay Area duo The Limousines,  debut LP, Get Sharp, was first released and played on the Hunnypot Radio show in 2010  featured the fun, self-reflective single “Internet Killed the Video Star” (The track hit a million views on YouTube and brought the band an international fan base). ”Love Is A Dog From Hell”— is the new single we’re excited to premiere from their sophomore album, Hush. The track is an ’80s-inspired New Wave gem about the temptations of falling in love. Interestingly enough, the song’s title is borrowed from a book by poet Charles Bukowski that discusses the darker side of love. Heady stuff! The track’s shimmering, dream-like synths are paired with lyrics about cigarettes, kisses and heaven, and it’ll surely leave you reminiscing about the one who got away.

The opening track to the band’s wildly infectious debut album Lovers. This band is truly something else. The band members have an amazing ability to wrap vocalist Nicole Boudreau’s flirty and lovelorn lyrics with a fierce rock and roll sound that is both luscious and explosive at the same time. I also really enjoy that this video comes back with the same layout: skip the plot and fancy editing, focus on the music. And with that spotlight set on the song and performance, listeners are quickly introduced to the song’s simple theme from the first line:“I’m in love with the bartender…

The ever-shirtless Cazwell (of 'Ice Cream Truck' fame) and Luciana released their latest single 'Guess What?' The song is the first single from Cazwell’s highly-anticipated full-length album Hard 2 B Fresh, being released through Peace Bisquit in August. Produced by up-and-coming Russian duo Fagault & Marina, and directed by J.B Ghuman, marks a new direction for the rapper, best known for blazing up YouTube and VEVO with his hip-hop rhymes. This latest is a gnarly, horn-ridden electro anthem with contagiously catchy lyrics and a hard-pounding beat

The South African rave-rap posse Die Antwoord are gearing up for a new album — Donker Mag, expected February 2014 — and they've just shared the first song and video from the thing. The video, directed by frontman Ninja aka Waddy Jones, then erupts into a high-pitched, high-energy tribute to the indelible "gangsta" Anies, spliced with scenes of Yolandi smoking marijuana, dancing around in a yellow woolen crocheted bikini top and urinating on the orphanage's stairs. This is the least troubling part of the whole thing, as the song is seemingly about being victimized by a recently-freed-from-jail drug dealer.

Hot Tub Johnnie and the HP Radio crew took to The Mint last week for the 267th radio show! Hot Tub kicked off the show and eased into his set with an old classic by Bertha Tillman, and soul gem “Femme Fatale by Aloe Blacc. Other top cuts from Hot Tub’s set included songs from Dirty Beaches, Wale, A$AP Rocky, Chance The Rapper, Far East Movement, Robin Thicke and much more. Hot Tub also welcomed in Chad Gilbert of What’s Eating Gilbert for an intimate sit down interview discuss his early days in New Found Glory and to preview WEG’s new song “Babe” off his Nashville Sessions 7 record.

DJ Boom Shack closed out the DJ segment of the night with a blistering set of new tracks by Milky Chance, NONONO, Kanye West, K.Flay, Brick+Mortar and much more. Following Boom Shack’s set Hot Tub Johnnie welcomed headlining guest Prima Donna for a brief sit down interview to discuss the band’s recent success and preview their current single “Feral Children” taken from their latest album Bless This Mess.

Our first performance of the night was LA based power pop band What’s Eating Gilbert. Lead singer, Chad Gilbert took the Mint by storm as they crushed through their set of catchy high energy pop songs with an infused style of rock, punk and pop. Be sure to check out their website and stay up to date with all the latest on What’s Eating Gilbert.

The next act to hit the stage was none other than LA’s own 5-piece rock band Prima Donna. The band performed an exhilerating set of rock n’ roll jams with huge pop chorus’ that left everyone feeling good. Definitely one of the top rock n roll acts out today, so do not miss them if you have the chance. They are gearing up for a huge national tour this summer kicking off in San Diego on 7/17 and again in LA on 7/20 at Club Nokia.

Closing out the night was New York based rapper, Zak Downtown, who captured our ears with his own blend of NY styled rap – mixed with electric-hip hop vibes. Zak is currently gearing up for a summer tour with Hoodie Allen and is definitely placing himself in the category of one’s to watch in 2013. 

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!  06/17/2013

PRIMA DONNA2013

PRIMA DONNA

Is a five-piece rock band from Los Angeles, may be the best garage band of all time, street-smart sounds with a modern twist. The single, Feral Children, was mixed by Grammy winner D. Sardy (Jet, Wolfmother, Slayer, Noel Gallagher, many more), and sonically calls to mind his most successful achievements.”If you see Prima Donna’s live show, by the time it’s over, I guarantee that you will walk out the door knowing that, by god, you’ve just seen a rock ‘n’ roll band. Odds are good that you’ll also be humming a new favorite melody and grinning from ear to ear too, all while still digesting the rock ‘n’ roll spectacle you just experienced. And that, my friends, is always an exhilarating feeling”.–John Anderson, Twangville

This new video, for "The Magic Clap" by the band The Clap, stars Patton Oswalt as the only man who can describe the "magic clap" in question. Edited with rapid-fire cuts, Oswalt acts out the lyrics to the song. Good luck getting this video and song out of your head for a while.
