Flora Cash finished the live music portion with a beautiful acoustic set that mesmerized the party.

Rock and roll isn't a sound. It's not an attitude. It's a need, it's a fight, it's the saving grace in the wake of a broken heart or something lost.
Down and Outlaws are a rock and roll band, pure and simple. Influenced by bands like The Stooges and Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, you can call these San Franciscans dirty, bluesy, rootsy; it doesn't really matter, because all four members – Peter Danzig, Kyle Luck, Chris Danzig, and Jon Carr – are determined to put their stamp of rock and roll back on the map, literally and figuratively.
The band balances packed local performances with tour dates across the country. Over the past year, they've performed with Reignwolf, Cancer Bats, The Silent Comedy and Black Pistol Fire, picking up die-hard fans and media attention from Austin and Portland to Tucson and Los Angeles and beyond.
Their recent single, “Lay Me Down," convinced Carson Daly to book them on NBC's Last Call in May. With a new video for their second single, “I Don’t Care (I Don't Care),” and their upcoming debut album, Above Snakes, all signs point toward a breakout year in 2016.
These days, when rock and roll often survives in the shadows, the quartet's energy, authenticity, and blistering live performances are impossible to ignore or forget.
Down and Outlaws play because they’ve got no choice. Music has saved the D&O, and they hope to return the favor.

Purple Mountains Majesties is comprised of a bassist, a drummer, and four front men who switch off on every instrument they can afford to buy - all types of guitar, ukulele, keys, glockenspiel, flute, trumpet, melodica, recorder, and assorted percussion. Their heavenly three and four part harmonies and melodies bring to mind the sound of early Beach Boys and Beatles, but their inventive instrumentation and arrangements put them firmly at the forefront of the modern alternative scene populated by bands like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros.
Hailing from the depths of Orange County, they were performing in a local raw food restaurant run by the renowned silent chef Ito (yes you read that right) where they were 'discovered' by former Oingo Boingo keyboardist, film composer, and record producer Richard Gibbs. Gibbs immediately brought them on board and began producing their debut album for his new recording venture, Invisible Arts.

Magic Wands are back with their highly anticipated sophomore album Jupiter.
Former Nashville electronic duo Chris and Dexy Valentine are currently residing in Los Angeles and have expanded their group, adding bassist Tommy Alexander and drummer Keith Crutchfield.
Chris and Dexy are following a different path for 2016 by foregoing their trademark electro-pop sound established with their Magic Love and Dreams EP and debut album Aloha Moon. According to the Valentines this was inspired by their desire to capture the feeling of early days of falling in love with playing instruments. Jupiter is Magic Wands sonic revolt against the cut and paste electronic age we reside in today—recorded live in the studio with minimum overdubs in only three days.
Since their debut record the Valentines have been studying the ancient art of “sound healing” and have applied this to their self-produced album Jupiter and live shows, tuning their instruments to 528 Hz—which is known in sound healing circles as the ”love" frequency. Magic Wands adhere to the mystic belief that the way of the future is using sound for healing.
The band first jumped into the spotlight with their dreamy pop songs and were one of the first to bring back a shoegaze sound with their Magic Love & Dreams EP recorded in New York City with producer John Hill (Santigold/Lykke Li) back in 2009.
The Valentines waved their magic wands and vanished until they appeared again in 2012 with their stunning Debut LP Aloha Moon which quickly garnished plenty of attention. Magic Wands jumped on everyones radar with their infectious singles “Space” and “Black Magic” which were both played on a wide array of national TV shows, commercials, movies, video games, and a run of dates opening for The Jesus and Mary Chain.
If you go see Magic Wands live and you will understand why they aren’t spreading themselves too thin. Their shows are drenched in haze and laser lights, with an hour of epic and dreamy sounds that will elevate you to the stars and make you dance.
Chris and Dexy Valentine look like they could have co/starred in a John Hughes film with their oversized Ray-bans that they haven't taken off since the beginning, and their music is best described as dark 80's dream pop mixed with shoegaze and the brighter side of falling in love.
Jupiter is a dance through the stars with beautiful lush and out-of-this-world sounds that the band dubs as “lovewave.”
Magic Wands will be performing at SXSW this year with a full US tour to follow.

We met on SoundCloud in early 2012 (where each of us had been posting music for some time). Our (for lack of a better term) “musical attraction” to one another quickly turned into something more and it wasn’t long before we began a “Skype relationship,” which lasted roughly five months. And by relationship, we really mean “relationship” in the fullest sense of the word… We were on Skype together as often as we possibly could be; morning ’til night and even that… never seemed enough. In June, 2012, Shpresa flew to Cole in Minneapolis, from Stockholm, and stayed until we returned to Sweden in August of the same year. It was in Sweden that Flora Cash; our ‘musical offspring,’ was truly born.
By the end of 2012, we had begun to collaborate with Swedish singer/songwriter and producer Daniel Westerlund/E GONE (formerly of The Goner) and had, with Daniel as our producer- released our “Mighty Fine EP,” which contained, among other tracks: “Mighty Fine” and “Summerset,” and at the same time (to our delight and amazement): had quickly begun to assemble a loyal bunch of listeners in and around Stockholm (and on YouTube where we currently have over 19,000 subscribers.)
While 2012 marked the crucial first steps of our musical journey- 2013 was a particularly big year for us. From several sold out shows in Stockholm to a three-month ‘mini-tour’ of London- (where we lived in a small room just under 2 miles south of Parliament)- 2013 saw us moving around constantly and playing any tavern, pub or venue we could find time for. 2013 also saw the release of an EP, “Made It For You.” The EP features, among others: “Freakin’ Love” and “When You Came (Oh Oh Oh).”
In July of 2013 we moved to Minneapolis where we lived for approximately a year. It was during that year together in the states that we decided to get married, take a road-trip-honeymoon to LA and begin work on the next chapter of Flora Cash. Since moving back to Stockholm in June of 2014, we have released the ‘I Will Be There’ EP, four singles (Snow, Lights, Save Me, This Breeze and Shout It Out Loud) and early in 2015 we signed to Stockholm based boutique label: Icons Creating Evil Art.
We are currently wrapping up a new Mini-LP, to be released in early 2016.

Morello is British born, L.A-based songwriter/producer Malcolm 'Sir Mal' Cross' (drummer for Pete Yorn/The Olms, Minibar and Spiritualized) solo endeavor, on which he teamed up with Japanese multi-instrumentalist Masaru Mitsu (Chocolat, Northern Light, Cymbals), for his third effort, The Duellists.

Miranda Lee Richards is a gifted Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter. Born in San Francisco after the summer of love and before the dawn of disco, she grew up in an artistic and bohemian environment that has informed her adult life and work. Her parents are well-known underground comic book artists Ted and Terre Richards, R. Crumb being their most infamous contemporary.
After graduating from the San Francisco School Of The Arts, she travelled to Paris to model, but soon returned to the U.S. to pursue a musical career. A series of chance encounters with influential people began when she became friends with Kirk Hammet from Metallica, who taught her to play guitar. Early demos of her songs reached the ears of Anton Newcombe, and she soon joined his band The Brian Jonestown Massacre. She sang on their early albums Give It Back, Bringing It All Back Home Again, and Stung Out In Heaven, and appeared with them in the seminal documentary DIG!.
In 2001, Virgin Records released her full-length debut album The Herethereafter. The record was a mix of folk, psychedelia, country and indie pop, and generated fans worldwide, especially in Japan where the single “The Long Goodbye” reached the top five.
Her critically acclaimed sophomore album Light of X, the title of which came from a dream about harnessing beams of light to travel in time, followed in 2009 via Nettwerk Records. The music was a progression from the template laid out on her debut, anticipating the symphonic pop music that came later with the likes of Anna Calvi and Agnes Obel.
Richards’ latest album, Echoes Of The Dreamtime, was recorded at her home studio with husband and producer Rick Parker (best known for his work with Black Rebel Motorcycle Club and Lord Huron). It brings together eight pastoral, atmospheric epics into a work that is her most impressive yet. Echoes of the Dreamtime focuses on a lyrically narrative style, with many of the songs counting in at over five minutes, with four and five verses a-piece. One song, the eight-minute track “It Was Given” (based on the movie The White Ribbon by Michael Haneke), is an example of an adaptation put to song.
As Richards states, “So much of our experience lies within the realm of the subconscious, influencing our outer realities. When we realize we have control over our offering to the world, we begin to examine the subconscious and have a conversation with it, instead of being ruled unknowingly by it. Contained therein are themes of self-discovery, transformation, and grappling with the duality between dark and light within ourselves and society. The literal use of Space Echo throughout the album is reflective of the theme: it’s subtle and beautiful and repeats until we listen.”
Echoes Of The Dreamtime comes out worldwide via London-based indie Invisible Hands Music on January 29, 2016.

Dstnce is a 2-piece electronic group based out of Los Angeles, CA creating experimental, bass-driven tracks with an ambient and melodic overtone reminiscent of the early days of Massive Attack fused with Kiasmos out of Iceland. Classically-traineddrummer/producer, Clinton Van Arnam and LA singer/keyboardist, Melanie deJesus, formed dstnce in 2013 after a chance meeting brought the two together through the discovery of their mutual affinity for a wide range of influences from Nicolas Jaar and Aphex Twin to Radiohead, Sigur Ros, and Beach House.
To follow the 2015 release of their debut EP, DRUGS, dstnce draws inspiration from their travels as they continue to write and evolve, steadily working towards an audio/visual performance and more mini EP releases in 2016.
Boy oh boy, we had one hell of a show! A stacked line up with good times rollin' all throughout! Our resident DJ Hot Tub Johnnie open with Bowie's posthumous single, then dropped classic old and new. Guest DJ Bryan Bonwell popped into the Hot Tub for an interview and a bumpin' "get to know me" DJ mix for everyone to party to. After that the illusive Adam Finkel a.k.a. Alek Fin took a seat in the hot tub to talk about his new EP and live show. Red Bull Records brought in New Beat Fund who packed the house full of people and killed it on their Hunnypot return. Alek Fin's entrancing set plus LACES signature sound made for an incredible night. The always amazing Polaris Rose WOWed us and last but not least, the return of Diwon and his brother from another mother, Brooklyn rapper ePhryme. Heavenly times indeed. 1/25/2016
Bryan Bonwell speaks the language of music—and communicates as naturally and effectively with the music makers as the music users. That unique talent has enabled him to carve a niche for himself as a successful music supervisor in the extremely competitive and challenging LA film and TV music world.
Bonwell’s career began as an intern at Dilbeck Entertainment, and upon finishing his internship, Michael Dilbeck gave him the opportunity to stay on as a full time employee. While at Dilbeck Entertainment he worked on and has been credited as Music Consultant, Associate Music Supervisor, or Music Supervisor on an impressive list of wide release feature films, including “The Waterboy,” “Big Daddy,” “Scary Movie,” “Little Nicky,” “Deuce Bigalow: Male Gigolo,” “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo,” “The Master of Disguise,” “Joe Dirt,” “The Animal,” “Anger Management,” “Mr. Deeds,” “Dickie Roberts: Former Child Star,” “The Longest Yard,” “50 First Dates,” “Grandma’s Boy,” “I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry,” “Strange Wilderness,” “Benchwarmers,” “Grown Ups,” “Just Go With It,” “Jack & Jill,” the up and coming “That’s My Boy,” and “Grown Ups 2”. He also has worked on the TV shows "Freaks and Geeks," and "Undeclared."
Most recently he has gone out on his own and has supervised the indie movie “The Frontier,” which was just picked up for distribution, as well as documentaries “Ivory Tower (CNN),” “Thought Crimes: The Case of the Cannibal Cop (HBO),” and just wrapped “The First Monday In May” featuring Rihanna. He is also finishing up on the Happy Madison/Netflix movie “The Do Over.”
Bonwell is also a songwriter himself—and has co-written countless songs for film and television. He’s co-owned BZEE ROC Music Group, LLC since 2005, a music publishing company in which has worked with select talented songwriters to assist in getting placements in film and television.
From the very inception of BZEE ROC in 2005, Mark Fried and Peter Shane (Spirit Music Group) took a chance and saw value in the catalog and ears of Bonwell and began to administer the catalog. It has been a very successful pairing both in business and personally.
In 2014 Spirit Music entered into a JV with Future Hits, a one-stop easy clear brand. Spirit was looking for the right person to look out for their interest as well as build a high quality catalog from scratch, and Bonwell was Spirit’s natural choice. Later in 2014 about 6 months after Future Hits was off the ground and running, Bonwell was brought in to work in the new Spirit Music LA Office alongside David Renzer to also work the Spirit Catalog. Today he juggles working both catalogs as well as finds time to still work with the Happy Madison team.
No matter how much work he has to do, or how crazy things can get. Not a day goes by he doesn’t realize how lucky he is to be in this industry doing what he loves to do and working with such talented and amazing people.
New Beat Fund birthed when a piggy bank with the words “New Beat Fund” encrypted on it was catapulted into the facade of a corporate building. No joke. Somewhere in that transaction it became apparent a jar full of “fuck you’s” and “I owe you’s” would no longer lend it’s help to an artist. So we started our own fund; no debts to the bullshit, just a direct deposit from your’s truly and the people who vibe what it is we’re doing. And what exactly are we doing? We’re letting our music run free, streaking down the beach, nuts hangin’ in the Cali breeze, smokin’ Cali trees. We shimmy shimmy to the sounds of the Timby, some Red Chili, Slim Shady, and one Foxy ass Lady. Reppin’ real music flowin’ from an honest place. Keepin’ true to who we are, how we’re feeling, what we’re seeing around us and the way we react to it. Everything New Beat Fund is done 100% by New Beat Fund. Burnie Baker, Fat Snapz Lalib, Buttonwill McKill, and Silky Johnson. No need for specificity. So vibe some tunes, whether you’re coolin’ with your gurl or partying with your friends, this is for you. Have a good time, that’s what we’re doing.

"Handled with taut precision, the 20 minutes that encompass OceanSongs; veer in different directions, even if functions as a cohesive whole - songwriters Peter Anthony and Madelynn Elyse have an undeniable chemistry as they craft their pop-infused melodies, which can at times be simple and elegant and other times dynamically complex with an almost progressive slant”

Star Five Thirteen actor, Veronica Loren, makes her Hunnypot musical debut. Does it feel Hot in here or does she give me Fever?
The seeds of The TIP were sown when Nashville Rock n’ Roll party boys the Carl Brothers, Benny and Dixie, began jamming with local guitarist Ricky Dover Jr during the winter of 2013. The bluesy vocals, harmonica and guitar of Benny Carl along with the pounding rhythm of Dixie Carl drumming found a perfect match with Ricky Dover Jr’s swanky guitar bends. The TIP officially sprouted in the spring of 2014. By June the band were playing their first show at legendary Atlanta strip-club The Claremont Lounge with an independently released four song, “Killin’ It Wasted EP” already under their belts. Then in November of the same year the band went on an East Coast / Mid West tour with Hollywood’s Hammered Satin (Burger Records).
After linking up with NashTray Productions in East Nashville, and the untimely death of their would-be producer Ikey Owens (Jack White/Mars Volta), the band recorded their self-titled debut album in the early weeks of 2015. With continued success of playing regional showcases, The TIP just released their debut self-titled album.
The band is currently getting ready for their first trip to the West Coast for a string of dates in January!
