- Get Up, Stand Up (Sign of Life) is the second single off of Los Angeles based songwriting duo Bonhom. Bonhom is a new pop project co-created by James Coleman and Diwon. The two produce their own unique brand of epic dream like pop which you may have heard on your favorite TV programs. Bonhom recently had their song “Live for the Now” featured in the season premier of Witches of Eastend. Their single NYE has been picked up by Indaba Music and is currently being remixed by over 35 countries.
With Bonhom’s forthcoming album, Sex War, set to be January 20th, the two defy genres and labels blending elements of folk, pop, hip hop, edm and rock into an unmistakable sound that is Bonhom.
With over fifteen years in the music business, most notably with Maverick Records and Warner Brothers, James Coleman has toured and performed internationally and has licensed songs for commercials, compilations, and various film projects. During his stint at Warner Brothers, Coleman co-wrote with artists such as Aaron Kamin (The Calling), Jess Cates (Nick Lachey & the Backstreet Boys), and Stacy Jones (American Hi-Fi). For Coleman, music is a path to self-actualization even as it enables him to empathize with all types of people.
With over a decade of experience producing and performing, Diwon skillfully blends psychadelia with modern electro hip-hop, dancehall, and pop. Dubbed a “buzzmaking beatsmith” by The DJ Booth, URB noted that “Diwon is something else…in a profound kind of way,” calling his sound titillating and “juicy for the ears.” The Village Voice described his productions as “adventurous and banging.” Diwon has remixed a diverse array of artists from Dizzee Rascal and Miike Snow to The XX and Lana Del Rey. MTV highlighted Diwon’s blend of hip hop and dancehall while 2DOPEBOYZ and Vibe Magazine’s allhiphop.com have also noted Diwon’s rap flips of 80′s inspired sonics
Bonhom blends pop, rock, and electronic elements to create innovative tracks ranging from their NYE with its slow build from a bass-driven atmospheric refrain into a massive rock hook, to infectious party anthems like “Animal” and “Top of the World”, while songs like “Your Eyes” draw inspiration from Bjork and Depeche Mode. Bonhom’s singles, “Live for Now” and “Get Up, Stand Up (Sign of Life)” embody their main message and music which compel listeners to live in the moment, let go of the past, and embrace the future. With a fantastic fusion of their musical talents, Coleman and Diwon produce the songs of which dreams are made.
Young Creatures is an LA-based band from "top of massive seaside cliffs and in the dim neighborhood dives of sunny L.A." The video "Fear of All Things" is taken from their album of the same name which was released recently in 2014. They playfully described themselves as “psych” -- as in “psychedelic,” “psych-pop hypnotists,” or a “psych-rock band in pop clothing.", but they differentiate themselves as a band of earthy emotion tied together in these sonic landscapes as opposed to the machine-driven pop. They are a young band with much to expect in the future!
Apologizes for the missing recorded audio elements :(

Once Kosha was done rapping there was still two more audible gifts to be unwrapped by DJ EL RAY and BLACK CRYSTAL WOLF KIDS. We may not have partied for 8 crazy nights, but we definitely pushed 8 hours on a Monday night in LA - a true Channukah Miracle!
BIG THANKS to all who came out and helped us celebrate the holidays at the 306th Hunnypot Radio Show!! 12/15/2014
Inspired by the audience participation of the Flaming Lips, the anything-goes attitude of The Henry Clay People, and the over-the-toppedness of 80s tribute bands like Fast Times, Black Crystal Wolf Kids are the world's first indie-rock tribute band, paying costumed, sing-along-encouraged homage to the best music of right now (from MGMT to Phoenix to Grouplove) as well as indie's storied past (Pavement; the Pixies; Cracker; etc).

Lili's fourth full length studio record, LiliLand, will be released in late 2014, and was written in the aftermath of a freak chemical accident that caused brain damage and the loss of everything Lili owned.

Fun, fragile, and ferocious songs about losing everything and getting it back.” She further explained this experience in a TEDx talk "How Music Saved My Brain."

Award winning Music Supervisor Mary Ramos has helped create the musical identity for over 100 films for the past 20 years. Mary has had the opportunity to work with acclaimed directors Thomas McCarthy, Quentin Tarantino, and Richard LaGravenese, gaining credits on works including Django Unchained, Inglorious Bastards, Freedom Writers, Kill Bill Vol, 1 and 2 soundtracks, Never Been Kissed, as well as a music coordinator role for Pulp Fiction. Mary will bring her musical expertise as our guest DJ for the night.
Trabants was initially formed as a side project by Eric Penna (singer/guitarist of the now defunct Boston band Ketman). The concept was to feature a rotating line-up of Boston's finest musicians playing obscure instrumentals from an assortment of little-known surf and library music records from around the world. A later experiment in vintage mono recording snowballed into Trabants' first full length, "Highwire Surfing" which garnered an Independent Music Award nomination for best instrumental album alongside placement on the show "Becoming" featuring Johnny Knoxville. This collaborative of musicians finds its muse in the dusty bins of 60's instrumental surf, garage, psych, lounge, soundtrack and library music from around the world.
Dani Shay is an acoustic musician from Orlando, Florida. Her smooth acoustic jams will leave listeners relaxed and feeling positive about life. Her songs hop around genres for some fun folk, pop, and even R&B and rap. As Dani says, "My music is more than just words; it's a message. My love is much more than a feeling; it's life."

Our friends Purple just released their debut album "409" along with this badass video for "Thirteen." The Texas trio rocks out in front a green screen and pretty much tears apart the set. Purple will continue to tear it up on their tour through the U.K. alongside Bronco.
Brimming with bubblegum swagger and a conscience without regret, the music video for the follow-up single from Barefoot & Pregnant, "Get Weird", is bound to bust acorns, beeches, and karukas all over the place - if you don't know what I'm saying, well you just might be nuts.
