The year is 2000, and Hunnypot launches the last of America's deep music probes. In a freak mishap, its pilot, Hot Tub Johnnie, puts the party music trajectory into an orbit which unleashes hot dance music and moves, to Earth, 427 shows later. Last night Hunnypot Live got us all ready for the future. Hot Tub perfectly landed a ship full of hot trax. Michael Frick came by to tell us about his international music supervision career and history and brought a great party set of music. Hunnypot veterans, Velvet Starlings, came back to rock the nations, WYO showed up with Rocky Mountain rock music. Mystical Joyride got us dancing and vibing on the trip.

Christian Gisborne is an independent singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, producer and founder and lead singer, guitarist and keyboardist of Velvet Starlings. Gisborne is known for a powerful 60s era Eric Burdon influenced vocal style and a commanding and dynamic stage presence inviting media & industry insider comparisons to Jack White and Ty Segall. Early musical influences include artists such as The Beatles, The Who & The Doors.
Gisborne’s debut self-titled EP, Velvet Starlings was a collaboration with British producer/writer Roger Gisborne (leader of 90s Brit Rock band,Plastiscene) for Sound x 3 / Rock N Rolla Records which was released in late 2018 and supported by dates at the Live At Heart Music Festival and SXSW ME in Sweden, where Gisborne’s performances resulted in performance opportunities at Summerfest, Canadian Music Week, The Great Escape and other international festivals.
The single, "Sold Down The River” showcases Dylan-esque lyrics, a soulful Hammond B3 organ, gritty guitars and raw blues inspired vocals. The track caught the attention of KROQ and reached #1 (twice) on Kat Corbett’s “Locals Only” show. The official video released in May, 2019 features the mural work of Shepard Fairey, world-renowned American contemporary street artist, activist and founder of Obey.
2019 kicked off with a sold-out show supporting Barns Courtney in Los Angeles. In May, 2019 Sound x 3 / Rock N Rolla Records released the much anticipated follow up mini-album, “Love Everything, Love Everyone” produced and written by Christian Gisborne and Roger Gisborne in Los Angeles, with engineering and mixing by Josiah Mazzaschi (Smashing Pumpkins, The Kills, Jesus & Mary Chain and Deep Valley) and mastering by Brian Lucy (Cage The Elephant, Black Keys, Beck, Arctic Monkeys) who also mastered the self-titled EP.
The mini-album adopts a slightly heavier sound, mirroring the dynamic live performance and is lyrically and sonically the next step in the evolution of the Velvet Starlings’ sound. The first single “Kids in Droves” released in Summer, 2019 speaks to an era where “everyone spends all of their time on devices ‘liking’ and ‘loving’ everything says, Christian Gisborne. “Kids in Droves” also received favorable reviews and airplay in the USA (including influential stations such as KROQ, Sirius XM, 91x and KCSN) as well as BBC Radio in the UK. Legendary BBC Scotland DJ Billy Sloan has been a massive supporter of Gisborne. Other supporters include Shepard Fairey, Dave Davies (The Kinks), Kevin Bronson (KCSN DJ, BuzzbandsLA & former LA Times Music Editor) and legendary tastemakers, DJ Rodney Bingenheimer and DJ/curator Tim Pyles. Both releases charted on FMQB reaching #5 on the Album Chart and #8 on the Singles Chart.
In support of the 2nd release, Velvet Starlings toured across the pond twice with its first full UK tour in May, 2019 followed by a US tour sponsored by Acura/Honda, anchored by an emerging artist slot on Summerfest (where Velvet Starlings won best emerging artist competition $5,000 worth of gear) and PBS’s Woodsongs in Lexington Kentucky, along with dates in Nashville at The Basement and the Cubby Bear in Chicago.
Velvet Starlings returned to Europe a second time for a very successful Scandinavian tour, which included many sold out dates and key performances at the Live At Heart Music Festival, along with a headline slot at King Tut’s in Glasgow and several dates in England, which included a live radio performance at the BBC and shows at The Dublin Castle and Camden Assembly, where new songs off of Velvet Starling’s third record was debuted.
Velvet Starlings was also invited to showcase at Indie Week in Toronto and will be performing select dates in Brooklyn and New Jersey in November, 2019. In 2020, Velvet Starlings will perform at The Great Escape festival and conference in Brighton for Impressive PR’s stage at the request of Mel Brown (Cold Play, Muse). Velvet Starlings will soon be releasing two videos for “Bitter Pill” and “Karmic Lemonade” produced by French director Joseph Calhoun (Lauren Ruth Ward) in support of the mini-album. Christian Gisborne has plans to record his third work in early 2020.

Los Angeles' WYO makes cinematic music inspired by frontman Andy Sorge's home state of Jackson, Wyoming. Taking inspiration from the imposing landscapes and majestic mountains he grew up around, singer-songwriter Andy Sorge utilizes an organic instrument palette to create the soundscape that is WYO.
After attending film school in New York, Andy met multi-instrumentalist, Scott McKay Gibson, and the two retreated to Wyoming and began delving into Andy’s original songs that would soon become their debut album, Untamed. Released in early 2018, WYO teamed up with veteran Los Angeles-based producer, Brad Wood (Smashing Pumpkins, Pete Yorn, Ben Lee), to provide a fresh ear to finalize the LP.
After a successful debut release, WYO released their sophomore album Changes on May 31, 2019, which further explores their panoramic sound. A sound that has led to sharing the stage with Robert Earl Keen, Avi Buffalo, The Fruit Bats, and WhiteHorse, headlining School Night, and playing venues like The Belly Up, Peppermint Club, House of Blues, Viper Room, State fairs in San Diego and Wyoming, as well as SXSW in Austin and Genius Loci Festival in Mexico.
In addition to performing as WYO, Andy and Scott frequently compose music for documentaries, commercials, and short films together. Perhaps this explains the reason that WYO’s music has a way of evoking such striking visuals that stir the imagination. WYO embodies the search for a place that’s alive and wild. It’s an endeavor that deals with love, loss, and constant exploration. It’s a tale of reconciling city life with the unyielding need to retreat to nature’s gravitational pull.

Over the years, Peter More and his bandmates have called many places home. Originally from Fort Worth, Texas, More joined forces with Spanish flamenco guitarist José Juan Poyatos, Mexican bassist Diego Noyola, and French-American drummer Adrien Faunce in San Miguel de Allende, the colonial arts haven three hours north of Mexico City. There, the band began to record with prolific drummer Rick Shlosser (who played on many Van Morrison and James Taylor classics, among hundreds of other credits).
A chance encounter with Steely Dan's Donald Fagen, who happened to be visiting San Miguel, led to Fagen producing More's debut album, "Beautiful Disrepair," and his follow-up EP entitled "Shoulder." Best described by Donald Fagen as music with "a smart savvy edge...its an American dish served with hot sauce." More's layered stories naturally have evolved with the band’s continual movement through recording sessions beyond San Miguel that took place in Fort Worth, New York City, and Woodstock.
Wanderlust underscores More's music, weaving the many influences and intersections from the songwriter's unconventional journey. The road just seems to strengthen the bond between the band-mates and the power of More's heartfelt songs.

What if Bowie, Prince and the Cure had a baby?
Blog and radio attention has been universal using lots of superlatives like: “Genius, Massive, Perfection, Brilliant, Great, Outstanding, Exquisite, Remarkable, Pure Beauty, Excellent, Impressive, Inspiring” and seem to feature the words “I Love” a lot. The most important people are the fans. They are lovely people who genuinely seem to love it!
Our new video pick is “ Calling It” by an all-girl band called Automatic. Automatic is Izzy Glaudini (synths, vocals), Lola Dompé (drums, vocals) and Halle Saxon (bass, vocals). The band first met while immersed in L.A.’s DIY music scene and started jamming together in 2017. Over the past year, they have become a mainstay on the L.A. club circuit. They recently got signed by Stones Throw Records.
The video shows the girls working at a place that would be more suitable for men, harsh environment and tiresome type of vibe. Working in a factory and showing massive amounts of physical labor, for example, shows their strength - girls can work hard, too, physically. Also, the factory isn't just any factory but it is an airplane factory which suggests that the girls are highly intellectual. Even though all the band members are also vocalists, the song itself uses a very minimalist approach when it comes to vocals. There is a lot of machinery and in the end, we see a shiny man figure in a sink looking gift box. There is definitely a lot of symbolism that one can draw out of this video and make their own interpretations. The electronic sound of the song is definitely complimentary to the overall industrial feel of the video. Check it out!
“It can hardly be a coincidence that no language on Earth has ever produced the phrase, 'as pretty as an airport.' Airports are ugly. Some are very ugly. Some attain a degree of ugliness that can only be the result of a special effort.” ― Douglas Adams, The Long Dark Tea-Time of the Soul In a world of free Monday shows, Hunnypot Live is the Changi Airport of them all. Show #425 departed with Hot Tub Johnnie on party music autopilot. World famous musician, Chuck Wright, made a layover in the tub and regaled us with his musical origins and achievements. Mr. Max landed raw rock n roll. Lenachka, exploited first class leg room with stripped down versions of her dance tunes. Plastic Otters was the musical chaos of lost luggage and the relief of reuniting with it. Al3Androva slayed the piano and turntables with jet engine propulsion and Hot Tub boarded last and took us on a return flight to dance town. (9/16/19)

Mr. Max is the brainchild of Los Angeles based multi-instrumentalist Max Cohen. Mr. Max would like to think of his music as punk rock, but he can’t help but incorporate influences from the funk, psych, and indie rock worlds. Mr. Max is currently recording and recently released his new single “Let’s Get Cucked Up” (produced by Rob Schnapf- Beck, FIDLAR, Elliot Smith) with a ridiculous music video to accompany it.
You can catch Mr. Max performing with his band around the Los Angeles area.
In the first quarter of 2012, producer Charlie Peacock (The Civil Wars, Chris Cornell, The Lone Bellow) set a Google alert for the song “Safe & Sound” by Taylor Swift and The Civil Wars. Every morning he would listen to the dozen or more cover versions young artists had created overnight. On April 4th of that year he heard 18 year old Helene Immel’s artful version and immediately sent her this note: “Heard your cover of Safe & Sound. Good job. Really like the sound of your voice. Just wanted to let you know my door is open to you to send songs as you create them.” And so she did. The producer and artist struck up a musical friendship that quickly became a partnership.
Together they began recording, first in Los Angeles where Helene lived, and later at Charlie’s studio in Nashville. The goal? Make beautiful pop music the whole world will sing. They soon after released an EP that hit 6th on the singer songwriter itunes charts and got a lot of support on Spotify.
Born in Germany, Helene is the oldest daughter of Russian-German immigrants to the US she was 8 when she arrived in California. Her mother gave her with the nickname Lenachka, a very common name of endearment. After nearly two years of making music together, Lenachka and Charlie released a self titled EP September of 2014. Since her first sessions in Los Angeles with engineer Eric Robinson and John Mayer’s band, Lenachka has co-written with a great cast of talented songwriters and producers, including Nathan Chapman, Mike Elizondo, Winston Marshall (Mumford & Sons), Eric Robinson, Taylor York (Paramore), Kris Allen, Matthew Perryman Jones, Kelsey Kopecky, Jason Reeves, Mat Kearney, Tom Douglas, Sam Ashworth, Nolan Sipe and Ryan Peterson.
Twenty-five year old Lenachka is currently living in Los Angeles where she is playing shows and continuing to write and record new music.

Plastic Otters is a straight edge concept art band born out of the concrete and desert of the suburbs outside Los Angeles. Stylistically we play music that isn't boring to us: drone rock, evil jazz, lucky otter pop, anti-psych funk, acoustic logger, ambient, and big band post rock. We're most inspired by the concrete jungle that surrounds us, as well as how sea otters can crack open shellfish on their belly. That's fucking cool.

"We don't know if we are even gonna do another Little Brother album at this point." It's been over ten years since Rapper Big Pooh told HipHopGame.com that he and his remaining Little Brother member Phonte wanted to focus on their own solo projects. Since then, Rapper Big Pooh and Phonte have collaborated with multiple creative projects, but this year's reunification of the group has amassed a collective excitement from both patient fans and the music industry as a whole.
Critically acclaimed North Carolina hip-hop duo Little Brother have something to say in their latest video for single "Black Magic" featuring Madison McFerrin. Phonte kicks the track off with a prideful proclamation: "Black skin, black faces, black people make black magic". The duo begin to reflect on the times, from questioning whether new rappers only care about accumulating clout to solidarity with the African-American community amidst police brutality and violence. They also reassure their audience that they have been doing just fine throughout their time apart. Phonte explains that he's been "ASCAP'in" (collecting royalties) and Rapper Big Pooh, though a little disgruntled with the lack of recognition whilst hustling in the industry, says he's happy with the simple things in life: "I'm still focused on the goal and not what's hangin' on the walls / Listen, all I need is the sports channel / And a glass of your finest red, you feel me?"
With scenes of festivities, friendly faces, and a backdrop that spells out "GOOD TIMES", it's clear that Little Brother want to create a sense of love and community. The single's production is a warm throwback to the poetic core of underground hip-hop, and in this new world of uncertainty and division, Little Brother are on a mission to put the pieces back together through the power of music.

We have experienced our fair share of unusual songs and music videos that leaves us scratching our heads and we often think “How is this a hit single,” but it is either way and especially on platforms like YouTube; it goes on making more than a million views on any social media site. Y2K and bbno$ have done exactly that with their single “Lalala”.
Their single “Lalala” is a great catchy beat like any other rap song nowadays; it really reminds you how cold Canada is when you start singing along to the lyrics and it encourages to stay in California, and not get cold nips from the great white north, but I digress. Aesthetically the video is awesome Y2K and bbno$ both really bring out nerdy white guy look whence rapping in a make-believe kids environment. The puppets appearing in the video stole the show because who doesn't want to see puppets rapping about Canada being cold and having Gucci on your body. It’s absolutely the perfect music video for a ride along with James Corden.
Lalala is almost reaching 2 million views on Youtube and counting. The targeted audience dig the tune; they get “Charlie and the Chocolate factory vibes” from listening to this video and that’s the greatest thing I’ve read in the comment section from this video. Even though the hilarious antics portrayed before us are amusing to watch they have something here. Y2K is creating dialogue among their fans that keeps them tuned in and him in the spotlight in some fashion. Lalala is out now and dare I say it’s a good song with a weird video.
