Johnny Siera of The Death Set, is joined by band-mate, synthesist and producer William Broussard, and visual/video artist Sofia Szamosi for their latest passion project. United by their unique outlook on multi-media concepts, Tiger Tooth is a DIY synthesis of dark, twisted techno and fine-crafted visuals. After two years in the making, today marks the start of their epic journey as Tiger Tooth.

 
Out today on their very own Baby Tooth Imprint and kicking off their foray into the techno world is 'Tiger Asylum', a dark, bass-heavy banger. The lead single from their forthcoming 15-track self-titled album, 'Tiger Asylum' is destined to be a hit amongst fans and peers alike, already gaining strong reactions and play from a diverse list of tastemakers including Skream, Marco Carola, Groove Armada, Paco Osuna, Digitalism, Danny Tenaglia, Anna Lunoe, Ramon Tapia, M.A.N.D.Y. + more. Ramon Tapia states it perfectly - "Big Tracks".  
 
Loaded with hair-raising feline growls, ‘Tiger Asylum’ is the appropriately-named side A of their debut, a twisted techno burner that utilizes an original analog Moog Prodigy to provide the deranged bass. “The drop sounded like the soundtrack to a panic attack, hence the asylum..” explains Siera. Side B, ‘Baboon Heart’, is no less aggressive in its approach and highlights the group’s appreciation for dark, menacing techno. Also sure to cause a ruckus today is the world premiere of the single's visual component on LessThan3: a cheeky, slightly spooky number which can be viewed HERE. Directed by Szamosi, the haunting 'Tiger Asylum' video features an dissident four-legged furry friend of the band, a baby breaking the rules, and a brief cameo by Tiger Tooth themselves. 

Even while playing punk music as The Death Set, Siera and Broussard shared a mutual passion for house and techno. Siera, having worked with Szamosi in the past on videos for artists like Yolanda Be Cool and Motez, saw an opportunity to integrate the diverse talents of his wife, and friend along with his own. Thus, the Tiger Tooth brand was born. While their intention was never to write a full-length album, this sundry, cohesive body of work took on a life of its own as they embraced the opportunity to have complete creative control of every aspect of the project: music, art, websites, video, and more. Now, with Szamosi directing the visuals and the combined skills of Siera and Broussard on analogue and digital machines, Tiger Tooth’s impressive evolution as a multi-faceted multimedia art project is fully underway.

Pussy Riot demands an immediate investigation against General Prosecutor Chaika and his family, as well as against all the top officials in his office.

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 (SPIRIT MUSIC GROUP GUEST DJ SET/INTERVIEW)

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

NEW BEAT FUND

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.

POLARIS ROSE

"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”
— Juan Rodriguez, Arena Magazine

They emerged onto the LA scene in the Fall of 2013 with the release of their debut EP, "The Moon & its Secrets" and their sophomore EP, "OceanSongs".

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!
