This video pick throws back to 2011 with Doyle and Debbie’s “When You’re Screwin’ Other Women (Think of Me).” Bruce Arntson and Jenny Littleton comprise this parody pair.  Think of your favorite parody band, and splice that with an old school country duo, and you’ve got Doyle and Debbie.  The hilarious lyrics with Arntson and Littleton’s impeccable acting create a show that leaves audiences laughing themselves sick.  The comedy doesn’t mask the pair’s talent, either.  Littleton’s voice possesses range and control, perfectly executing the songs in the style needed.

The Doyle and Debbie show first premiered at the Bongo Java Coffee House in Nashville, Tennessee, and have since moved to the Station Inn for regular performances, at which they are currently in the middle of a run of shows.  They have played all over the country and on November 10th will be gracing the stage at The Mint here in Los Angeles.

Check out just a few of their commendations:

"...a gloriously tacky send-up of a washed-up country duo." - The New York Times

"Brilliant". "The last time I laughed anywhere close to this hard was at "The Book of Mormon." "...hilarious. Drop-dead funny." - Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

"90 minutes of goofy perfection — clever, hilarious, wacky and brilliantly performed..."Chicago Sun-Times 

"Bruce Arntson and Jenny Littleton are nothing short of fabulous" - Chicago Reader

"...hilarious piece of low-brow inspiration turned into high entertainment." - Nashville Scene

Nashville rock band Kings of Leon is back again with their seventh studio album, WALLS.  Set to release on October 14th, 2016, their second single from the album, the titular track, "WALLS" now has a video out.  Featuring lead singer Caleb Followill, this gentle ballad speaks to vulnerability and heartbreak.  The literal closeup with Followill is an intimate metaphor as he croons his way out of the walls around him onto a dusk highway ride.

After getting their start in 1999 with southern rock, blues, and country influences, Kings of Leon has evolved to include an alternative rock sound in their music.  After their boom of commercial success with Because of the Times and Only by the Night, the band took home a total of three Grammy awards out of 7 nominations. KOL have been Hunnypot favorites since the beginning!

Unlike Brangelina Hunnypot Live! would never break up with you in the tabloids. Monday night we filed for separation from a droll life and brought entertainment to the masses

Camryn took custody of our ears and hearts (she also wore a cool Queen shirt), Ediblehead fed our faces with a mediation of disco punk, Pega5u5 took flight and took alimony from listeners, Jackel and guests were reconcilable to the audience and Hot Tub Johnnie presided over the whole night with sick beats.  9-19-16

CAMRYN HUNNYPOT

Camryn

Fueled by the rush of adrenaline that comes from performing live, 17-year-old singer/songwriter Camryn showcases her siren-like voice and straight-talking lyrics with a spunky blend of guitar-driven rock and pop. She began putting her songs on YouTube in 2010 and released a series of independent singles, including 2013's "Lovesick," which earned Camryn the distinction of becoming the youngest indie act to chart a song in the Billboard Top 40 since LeAnn Rimes in 1997. She developed a loyal fan base while performing in front of hundreds of thousands of people during her extensive worldwide touring, including solo shows and opening European and U.S. tours for the likes of One Direction and Cody Simpson.

Now, Camryn returns with a new 5-song EP entitled, New Dynasty. Full of in-your-face vocals, crunchy guitars and epic choruses, the EP co-written by Camryn showcases her evolution into an artist that has not only found her voice, but her power. As the title suggests, there is a new generation poised to break out into the world and Camryn's ready to make her own bold statement.

Ediblehead

Ediblehead

The mind-bending, soulfully electro, punk-house-pop of Ediblehead is the culmination of a transformative journey for two musicians: the critically acclaimed Los Angeleno artist Robby Rockit, and the prodigiously multi-talented chanteuse Eva Zeva. The winding path to forming Ediblehead helped both musicians connect to the wellspring of their creativity. The result is infectiously catchy debut album, Animal Lick Stick.

Robby Rockit was the founding member of the lauded space rock band West Indian Girl, which was signed to tastemaking electronic and dance label Astralwerks (Primal Scream, Chemical Brothers, Hot Chip). Eva Zeva was a lifelong singer who kept her vocal talents tucked behind a veil of shyness while she explored fashion and the fine arts.  They met at a private party gig West Indian Girl was playing in L.A., and Rockit felt an immediate karmic connection with Eva. The two found themselves reinventing West Indian Girl for that group's third and final album Shangri-La.

Ediblehead was formed to bring music that is bright, vivacious, and playfully dynamic. "There is a childlike energy that informs what we do, it's about letting go and having fun, "describes Eva Zeva.  She and Rockit lead us through the twelve tracks on Animal Lick Stick as zany toastmasters with a multitude of techno genres, crazy pop hooks, and guitars meshed with electronica.  The album was engineered, produced, and mixed by mastermind Robby at his home studio in Los Angeles, with additional work done at the West Hollywood studio of esteemed producer Matt Sorum (Guns and Roses, Velvet Revolver, The Cult), assisted by producer/engineer Francis O' Reilly.

Ediblehead performs as a five-piece band with full visual effects and original, out-or-this world costuming to mesmerize fans. "Ediblehead is like a beat-infused candy-colored rainbow with a message of self-belief," says Robby Rockit. "If you let go of fear and doubt, all doors will open up."

PEGA5U5

Juxtaposition meets trip-hop in West Coast-based brother duo PEGA5U5's newest single"Temporary Love" featuring Cellojoe - off their forthcoming sophomore EP Hippocrene. Last month they greeted us with "True Love", a glitched -infused track that featured Pharro's complex verse carried the flow forward. "Temporary Love" instead takes us on a laidback journey through a percussion-driven rabbit hole that is filled with wonked out synths as Pharro's voice soothes you into a state of serenity. 
 
“Hippocrene, the title of our new release, is the name of the spring that burst forth on Mount Helicon when PEGA5U5 struck it with his hoof. The Hippocrene is considered to be a source of poetic inspiration, where the Muses already had a dancing-ground where they would pound their feet, in order to awaken desire.” - PEGA5U5
 

With their respective careers, the two brothers, Mr. Rogers and Pharroh had already established a dedicated fanbase. Mr. Rogers over the past few years became a staple in California's electronic music scene, playing festivals (such as headlining slots at Lucidity, Stilldream, and Raindance) all around the area. On the other side of the spectrum is Pharroh, who has made his roundabouts in the underground hip-hop circuit. He's shared the stage with GZA and has gone on to score the soundtrack for the Afro Samurai video game and collaborate with TalibKweli. Eager to connect with a larger audience, they came together and fused their fanbases to deliver PEGA5U5. Their freshman LP The Flock, which featured collaborations with The Fungineers, Joanna, Cellojoe, and more, established a unique sound that left listeners craving new releases. With their hiatus coming to an end, make sure to follow them on their social media links below to keep up with the duo.

Our latest video pick is “Trouble” by Moonshine Man.  This new video with Robbins Entertainment appeals not just to the Southerner, but the “Country Boy/Girl” in all of us, from anywhere.  It’s a lighthearted, fun three minutes full of horses, campfire hangouts, a good old acoustic guitar, and plenty of shenanigans.  Even for the self-professed country music haters, Moonshine Man’s jaunty “Trouble” can get the leg bouncing and head bobbing along to the catchy beat and relatable lyrics.  Watch and see if Moonshine Man can get out of trouble!


If you dig this track, let us know, we can help license it.

Hailing from Cleveland, OH, young rapper Ezzy got his start like many young artists, expressing himself, coping with his struggles, and telling stories through his craft.  His hard work and relatable lyrics paid off, and now, at 19, Ezzy has already shared stages with Drake, Kendrick Lamar, Future, and others.  His success extends even further, with Ezzy’s role in 2016 film, The Land.

Off The Land’s soundtrack, Ezzy’s first video Goodbye emerges in the wake of the movie’s July 29th theater premiere.  Executive produced by Nas and Directed by Steven Caple Jr, Goodbye is a nostalgic peek back at and farewell to the struggles of living a tough life on 87th and Detroit Ave. The video is both poignant and positive, stylistically throwing back to classic roots.  Predominantly filmed in black and white, the video’s scenes are hopeful, featuring break dancers and children, giving a lively vibe, welcoming the future and everything it will bring.  Ezzy’s success will only grow from here, and we can’t wait to see what he’ll do next.

Natural, turbulent, resilient and beyond, PIEL is an exceptional band without limits. They have soundtracks to your Liberation that could comfort your survival from Spiritual Amnesia. 

DIY to the max, PIEL collaborated with transmedia specialist Snakebite Cortez, Matt Elson's The Infinity Boxes and Digital Tinkerer Brain Blinks. Now the "Cinnamon" is no longer simply a music video.

Sabotage used to be a legitimate workforce negotiation tactic. Hunnypot Live! unleashes this tactic every other week, so listen up y'all. Hot Tub Johnnie started by unionizing us with a music set of workforce rhythm and melody. Our industry guest Michael Levine laid out the hard truths of upper management and the workers in music. Cassie Holt and the Lost Souls punched our clocks with sweet rock n roll music, Grand Canyon provided an Americana vacation out west, Cloudtalk gave us a breakroom of clear sky pop music and Kosha Dillz makes his performances feel like a national holiday.  9-5-16

Cassie Holt and the Lost Souls

Cassie Holt and The Lost Souls originally formed in 2013.

Front woman Cassie Holt is a Dallas native who has been singing/songwriting for more than a decade.  She started playing open mics in high school, spent many years writing and singing hooks for local hip hop artists, and most recently grew her sound with an amazingly talented group of musicians.  Together they create an atmosphere that is unmatched.  The chemistry on stage between them is evident and it overflows to the audience. Holt’s sultry vocals fill the room and warm your insides. Her powerful belts grab your attention as the bands incredibly tight performance keeps it.  Each member comes from a different style background, adding variety and uniqueness to their sound.  Holt’s lyrics have a mature rawness to them that so much modern music lacks, touching on everything from domestic violence to heartbreak.  The groups almost comical banter is sometimes turned into impromptu songs on stage.  The group has grown together over the last year and hopes to soon reach every household here, and ultimately over seas.  Cassie Holt and the Lost Souls have had performances on live television and they have performed at an array of venues including the Dallas Museum of Art, Fair Park in Dallas, the Dallas Arts District's Annual Fall Block Party, and the Dallas Whiskey Festival...and they continue to entertain regularly at a number of various clubs, festivals, weddings, and events.

cloud talk

CLOUDTALK

WHO - CloudTalk is a four member alternative pop-rock band from Northern Los Angeles, who have begun to get some notice on the local scene (105,000+ followers on Vine and counting). With guitar, bass, drums, keyboards, and vocal harmonies, TJ, Gabe, and Jordan are ready to bring their unique chemistry to any size venue.

SOUND - By combining a knack for catchy melodies (think Maroon 5 or One Republic), chasing a big sound quality (think Coldplay, Imagine Dragons, fun.) and infusing a little rock edge (a la Killers, Temper Trap, Neon Trees), you’ll get some idea of the recipe for success that CloudTalk is ready to take to the masses. They also draw inspiration from other artists, and it’s easy to imagine them touring with bands as diverse as Young The Giant, Bastille, Two Door Cinema Club, Foster The People, New Politics, the Naked and Famous, Walk the Moon, the 1975, Passion Pit and The Neighborhood.

WHAT’S NEXT - Despite wearing their various influences on their sleeve, CloudTalk has a sound that is all its own, thanks in part to TJ’s distinct lead vocals and a gift for crafting hooks that stay with you after the final note lingers. With two full album’s worth of material they can play gigs of various lengths and are ready to explode onto the music scene in a big way.

Straight out of Silverlake, Paper Pilots have quickly taken over the local music scene with their soulful version of the “Britpop” sound. Lead by Justin Bocchieri, this band first started gaining an impressive fan base when their cover of the Zombies’ “She’s Not There” was featured on the HBO series, True Blood. This soundtrack was later nominated for a Grammy and secured them the spot of playing live on the show. Paper Pilots have performed locally many times, including our legendary Hunnypot Radio Live show. They have also performed at Echo Park Rising 2015, Chinatown Summer Nights, Blind Date LA, KROQ’s “Locals Only” at The Slide Bar, as well as notable venues such as The Satellite, The Bootleg Theater, and the Troubadour.

 

Their new video for their song, “The Weather” is as simple as it is hypnotic. Portraying black and white videos of Bocchieri singing, overlain with geometric shapes, the video draws attention to the haunting vocals and flowing instrumentals showcased in this song. Produced by Grammy-nominated engineer and producer, Luke Tozour (Katy Perry, Adam Lambert, Jamie Cullum) and mixed by Grammy-winning engineer, Paul Hicks (Coldplay, Elliot Smith, Paul McCartney), “The Weather” is the latest and greatest from this soon to be everywhere, California band.
