Shalom is taking it to the next level with his new single and video for Buried. Lance Drake directed the dark and creepy video. The imagery posses a violence that is both frightening and thrilling and makes you want to stare and hide at the same time.  Shlohmo's new LP "Dark Red" releases April 7th and he kicks off his US and UK tour in San Diego, CA at the end of March.

HOT TUB JOHNNIE and the Hunnypot Radio crew delivered a big night of music. HOT TUB dropped a set of tunes that featured music by TEENAGE BOTTLEROCKET, BEARHEART, 2 CHAINZ, and BELOVED BINGE.

KCRW Veteran JASON KRAMER stopped by and threw down a killer set that featured KANT, THE LAKES, and MATT WOODS.

ARIELLE DEEM kicked off the live music with a groovy performance of songs from her debut LP Now Place Like Now followed by New York transplant and electro-pop up-and-comer BECA. Once the tone was firmly established, NICKY DAVEY turned it upside down with his patented blend of r&b/rock fusion, after which MARLEE EAST took the stage to cap off a truly eclectic evening of live music.

BIG THANKS to all who came out and enjoyed the 309th Hunnypot Radio Show!! If you were unable to see the show or missed one of these special performances head over to the Hunnypot Radio page and continue to join us every other Monday night at The Mint as we continue to push the envelope with exposing today’s bubbling music talent.  2/09/2015

beloved binge

We’re invoking ole-ole-ole all around. In a rare (collect) call E.T. told us it was A.O.K. to feature him in his Arc de Dumpdump Atari 2600 video game.

Not only did we make a video from a previous album without having finished videos for our current album, but we also used archival footage from Lost in Space and the US Army. On the video game front, Defender also makes an appearance.

Nothing says alienation from people like aliens. Enjoy.

CHESNEY HAWKES

Approximately 50,000 singles were released in the UK during the nineties. With five weeks at the top, the twentieth most successful release of that entire decade was ‘The One and Only’, the lead song from the soundtrack of the film “Buddy’s Song” sung by a 19 year old Chesney. The song has gone on to be the subject of numerous compilation albums, TV ads, TV theme music, film soundtracks and, now a student anthem, continues to top ‘Best pop song of the nineties’ polls.  

Chesney has worked with writers and producers from a broad section of the industry, among them Mark Goldenberg (The Eels), Jesse Valenzuela (The Gin Blossoms) and Counting Crows producer Marvin Etzioni.  Other collaborators include Howard Jones, the Police’s Stuart Copeland, Nik Kershaw, Bijou Phillips and more Rob Davis (co-writer of Kylie’s Can’t Get you out of My Head). Artists continue to cover his songs and he has had material recorded by three international Pop Idol winners. Tweet @ChesneyHawkes  chesneyhawkes.com



swinghero

SWING HERO

Conceived by Marshall Gallagher (ex-Solar Bear, touring guitarist for 3OH!3) in 2011, Swing Hero is an amalgam of shimmery dreamo and virtuosic post-grunge. The delivery is heavy, pretty and deceptively straightforward. The subject matter: growing up and dealing with heartbreak is exhausting, no matter who you are. Music fans will find a nostalgic comfort in layer after layer of warm guitar, mid-tempo pocket grooves and vocals that are both lyrically sharp and melodically contagious.

For the band, 2014 brings the prospect of at least one brand new release, shows spanning the west coast and midwest, and a chance to prove their true prowess in the wake of their recent relocation to Los Angeles. Swing Hero is climbing steadily, gunning for soft spots and sentimental hearts around the globe. swingheroband.com Follow @swinghero
