No Live artist performance audio available, :( Interview segments are great! Check out the video for Chloe Riley's live performance of her single "Dope". :)
For our 256th Hunnypot show (and first show of the new year!) Hot Tub Johnnie got the party started with a DJ set including some stellar picks such as Bowie’s new “Where are we Now?,” Hong Kong Dong’s “2 Flowers” from Belgium, and Vinny Cha$e’s “Biggie and Jordans.”
After Hot Tub, we had Miguel Jimenez of Opus Label lay down some tracks for us, which included highlights such as July Cruise, Pompeya, Tapeaters, Kimbra, DJ Purple Sneakers and more. Hunnypot would like to thank Miguel for coming on the show and for exposing us to some sweet new tunes!
Our first live performer was the very talented Yael Meyer, who brought us sweet melodies with inspiring messages, and a badass band to bring it all together. Despite having a “passenger” (as she referred to her baby bump) Yael gave an incredible performance, we can’t wait to have her join us again in the future!
Next up was Matt Jaffe and the Distractions coming to us from The San Francisco/Bay Area. These kids might be young, but the energy they brought to the stage was mature an they definitely knew how to rock the house. Listen to their interview with Hot Tub Johnnie for a taste of who they are. We are excited to see where these guys are going, and thank them again for bringing us an incredible performance!
Last but certainly not least, Chloe Riley, the next hot thing from San Diego, brought the house down with a sizzling performance. This chick brings the swagger and the dance moves to back it up. We can’t wait to see/hear more from Chloe in the very near future. She had the crowd enthralled with her performance and we’re sure she’s gonna go far.
We’d like to thank the Central SAPC for hosting yet another incredible Hunnypot soirée, and major thanks goes to all the people that make it happen, performers and crew alike! 01/14/2013
