Hunnypot Live #346

SIENNA JACKSON (THE WEINSTEIN COMPANY, INTERVIEW/DJ SET) + KLEZ + HALO CIRCUS + ESSENCE + HORSES HEAVEN + JOE AND THE JUNGLE

Hunnypot Live! trumps all the critics and we don't need "hill 'o rea"-sons to party other than "It's Monday night!" 
 
Hot Tub Johnny pushed "play" and our convention kicked off with a cavalcade of musical guests and messages.   
 
Our industry guest Sienna Jackson brought a platform of deep cuts that won't hurt American budgets for eclectic music.  Klez started the live music by filibustering soul until we all recognized our own, Halo Circus rocked the party hard without harming any donkey's or elephants, Essence gave us tales of her personal politics, Horses Heaven gave us their Utopian vision of the devine equine and Joe and The Jungle machete'd through the thick brush of political dissent to rock our asses through the end of the night.  7-25-16

HALO CIRCUS

Halo Circus is an unclassifiable band described by its star singer, Allison Iraheta, as creating “anthems for introverts” – songs that reach deep into the places we seldom talk about and roll them out in unforgettable music. Unlike most modern bands, Halo Circus spent three years developing their sound in front of live audiences and re-recorded their entire debut album when it failed to live up to their own expectations. Their live shows developed such a reputation that The Grammys asked them to headline their first-ever local Los Angeles showcase, which led to Halo Circus being asked to play The Grammys “Women Who Rock – Festival At Sea” with Heart, Emmylou Harris, and other iconic female singers, which led to John Taylor from Duran Duran calling them “The best live band in the USA,” which led to a very successful four-week Friday night residency at the prestigious Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, which led to incredible press, and most recently Halo Circus curated and headlined their own event, called “Say It Loud! A Night of Cultural Disruption,” at the legendary Troubadour to a packed house and rousing reviews. Vents Magazine called the evening “transformative,” and claimed that Halo Circus “embraced the future of rock music.”

Optimized HORSESHEAVEN GO STUDIO 215 Edit 2HORSES HEAVEN

Horses Heaven is music that tells a traveling love story. It is a melodic description of time spent together and a documentation of adventures that inspire by taking the listener on a sweet, soulful, and honest journey. Bijou Choder and Analise Lofaro mix their words and voices to create a story that is not only heard but also felt.

In the early days of their romance, the couple began writing music together. This connection grew into a deep love and subsequently, Horses Heaven. Both having an extensive and unique background in entertainment, they inspired each other to create a new sound and begin a fresh chapter in their musical endeavors.

The couple took their sound to the studio and gave it life, building around simple songs written on either guitar, piano, or ukelele. Then they gave the songs "studio treatment" with horns, synths, and whatever else walked in that day.

In the lush wilderness of Vermont, there sits an enchanting place called Horses Heaven, which is a deep emerald swimming hole nestled between two towering boulders and found far from town. While visiting this majestic location one humid summer afternoon, Bijou and Analise were inspired to write their song "Vermont" as well as adopt the name of the swimming hole for their collaborations.

“We hope our music cuts the mustard for you as much as it does for us.”

JOE AND THE JUNGLE

Joe and the Jungle are here to put some L.A. sleaze back into rock n roll. Coming at ya straight off the Sunset Strip by way of New York City... imagine if you threw Guns n’ Roses, Cheap Trick and The Beatles into a blender and added a dash of The Sex Pistols for flavor…the resulting mess would be Joe and the Jungle... [they] make me think about what Velvet Revolver could have been if Scott Weiland wasn't such a candyass. Or maybe what it would have sounded like if GnR had dropped the cocaine in favor of dropping a little acid instead. These guys remind me of a time when rock music was a little dangerous and the musicians playing it tiptoed on the edge of disaster.
