Hunnypot announces the upcoming performance the swinging brass extraordinare, Louis Prima Jr and the Witnesses, at the Viper Room on January 10th. The group's rowdy big band sound comes from combining early swing sound with rock and roll that can't keep us away from the dance floor. As the son of legends Louis Prima and wife Gia Maione, Louis Prima Jr. learned the music of his parents and combined it with an upbeat rock and roll sound, with the help of the band, the Witnesses. Louis Prima Jr. recently released a full-length album, Blow, in 2014 and you can stream and download it for free below!

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!

Chela (born in Thomastown, Australia) is taking On the music industry by storm and her new single features chela's original fly and fun-loving dance moves. WE adore her funky get up and her confident persona. watch out for chela, she is hitting it big time. 

 

Noisey has been championing Chela for a over a year so we're super stoked to premiere the Aussie-Filo singer's self-directed video, "Handful of Gold" (released via IHEARTCOMIX's new record label IHC 1NFINITY!). The song itself is classic Chela—bright and infectious and super synth-pop, meanwhile the video is knowingly attitudinal and perfectly random. Mostly it revolves around Chela's trademark loose-limbed choreography and the ability of her friends (and the man behind the counter) to nod aggressively to the beat. Basically it's a throwdown in a local late-night, post-party, fuck-I'm-drunk-and-hungry hangspot. The kind of place that has fried food, a jukebox, arcade games, and an owner who will let you dance on the tables. (There's also a sideline story involving Chela in bed, lip-syncing in her silk robe, looking absolutely terrified.) Bravo to the dude in the drop crotch onsie with the top knot and gold chain. Go practice Chela's moves today.

Once Kosha was done rapping there was still two more audible gifts to be unwrapped by DJ EL RAY and BLACK CRYSTAL WOLF KIDS.

Jamming through a solo set, Dani layed out smooth and positive raps over acoustic based, folk, pop and r&b songs. Following up Dani Shay, was LA based singer-songwriter, HEWAN who kept the party rolling with an uplifting set of neo-soul jams cemented with an undeniable, alternative pop balance. Setting us up for the climax of the night was buzzing LA alt-pop duo, BAD LANDS. The duo of Rocky and Mowgli performed a brilliant set of intoxicating pop noir, love songs. Rounding out the night was LA pop rock band, YOUNG CREATURES. This LA quartet closed the show with a shoegazey, psych rock set. You can see them live again at The Silverlake Lounge on Dec. 10th.
