Hunnypot’s very own Seven Saturdays released their official video for "Make Note of Every Sound" and it packs a punch! Seven Saturdays has always had a very cinematic sound and for this video is translates over in a very beautifully unexpected way. The video flashes between a loving mother and daughter playing with origami cranes and a bloody, bloody massacre that takes place in a warehouse. There’s epic fight scene’s with samurai swords and chopped off limbs and streamers and tons and tons of slo-mo scenes! What more could you ask for?
The 294th Hunnypot Radio Show lived up to it's well known tradition. The night featured the cutting-edge and eclectic alt-jazz stylings of LA based singer-songwriter and trumpet extraordinaire, MATT VON RODERICK, high energy pop, rock n’ roll from Echo Park’s, THE MAYBE SUNDAYS, the infectious pop rock hooks of THE GOODNIGHT, the steamrolling pop punk of Arizona based trio, SLEEPWALKER and closing out the night was Canada's top up and coming hip hop artist, JOHN DOUGH who rattled the late night crowd with slick rhymes and heavy pop hip hop beats. These five acts made this past Hunnypot Radio Show one of the most memorable shows of 2014 - and that was just the live performances!
Hunnypot Radio Host, HOT TUB JOHNNIE put together yet another slammin' set of new music. Hot Tub Johnnie kicked off the show with a smokin’ set loaded with new gems from LOUIS PRIMA JR., HOLLYWOOD HOLT, THE INFATUATIONS, KIESZA, G. WHITE, KOLLEY/BIG K.R.I.T and much more.

He rocks the trumpet. He sings. He writes songs. Classic. Cutting-edge. Raw. Emotional. A product of the vigorous New York City arts scene, Matt made his Carnegie Hall main stage debut as featured guest soloist with the New York Pops Orchestra through the invitation of Skitch Henderson, and was named top Jazz Artist by the Independent Music Awards as judged by rock music icon Lou Reed. Matt creates what All About Jazz calls “an other-worldly sound…something of a tour de force, he sings, plays, and uses his voice as a muted horn in a solo and duet with the trumpet…

Melbourne neo-soul artist Meg Mac has released this gorgeous one-take official video for her new hit single “Roll Up Your Sleeves” off her forthcoming debut EP MEGMAC slated for a September 12 release.
The Sydney native grew up listening to pop soul pioneers of Detroit and Memphis finding herself inspired by big voices laced with attitude and conviction. Meg Mac has cultivated and embodied these elements herself with an evident modern swagger. “Roll Up Your Sleeves” is a song about just that: rolling up your sleeves and having the confidence to make a change. Meg Mac’s confidence is apparent and empowering and translates both through her voice and on screen
Clean Bandit's "Rather Be" has been making the rounds for some time now. With a fun beat to keep the party strong and a flavor for love that is tailor-made for long walks on the beach and beautiful sunsets, it is a song for the season. Go get ice cream in the park you old so-and-so, young love is in the air and it smells like a hit!
FKA Twigs’ most recent music video release, “Two Weeks”, picks up where Meg Myers left off and goes even further. With ambient vocals, haunting instrumentation, and an eerie sexiness that’s as disturbing as it is hot, this video mixes Greek-inspired hedonism and Egyptian symbolism in an uncanny recreation of what must have been a ancient mating ritual lost in the annals of history.
The intentional dysfunction brought upon by the robotic asynchronous movements of a team of golden dancers background dancers highlights natural dissonance through creative combustion – pristine vocals mingle with sinister undertones with menacing methodology and we all dance in worship of it's divinely seductive call.
“With the band’s catchy, emotive sound — equal parts dusty alt-country and lovelorn late ’90s alt-rock — we’re surprised debut EP track ‘Let Back’ isn’t as big a hit as ‘Pumped Up Kicks’.” –L.A. Times
“L.A.’s A House for Lions showed off a robust rock sound at Rusty’s on Wednesday, adding garage ferocity to the softer, ’90s-influenced alt-rock of debut EP ‘I Want Us to Be Remembered’. –Billboard.com
“They’re only just starting out but already they’re purring like a sleek machine with a human heart…seeing a band this good this early is a thing of wonder and ought to be celebrated.” – Gary Lightbody (Snow Patrol) – Q Magazine
“Purveyors of gorgeous anthemic rock” –-Kevin Bronson, BuzzBands.LA
THE LATEST: The band’s debut full-length album made with Grammy Award-winning producer Tom Biller (Silversun Pickups, Elliott Smith, Fiona Apple, Warpaint) will be released 06.24.14 on Randm Records, home to the cult status Lost Ark Studio. They made the album after successfully completing a DIY crowdfunding campaign that impressed the indie music world at large and attracted flattering press (includingan interview on NPR, Digital Music News, Tunecore, Hypebot) based on the innovative approach they took in bypassing Kickstarter and the other main crowdfunding platforms.
Daniel Norman, singer/songwriter of A House for Lions, was a music lover who never intended to become a musician. But while hitchhiking through Germany, a melody and a few words popped into his head and never left: “we’ll write a book worth reading!” – the first line of what would become the first song Daniel ever wrote and A House for Lions’ statement of purpose, “Let Back”. In that moment, he realized it might be possible to get off of the fence and create a project of his own; at least, it would be fun to try. Daniel had played guitar since he was a kid, but had no experience playing in a band. So he’d have to get better, (“we’ll pass the test, no cheating!”) but he’d also need to seek out kindred spirits to flesh-out the sound of his bare bones experiments.
In early 2010 he found just that in an unlikely group of strangers. Adding guitarist and designer Mike Nissen, bass player Eric McCann and drummer Joe Luisi, A House for Lions has developed a sound that according to The Deli Magazine “manages to blend the sleeker side of angsty 90s rock with the laid-back instrumentation and heart-string pulling melodies you might expect from an alt-country band”.
Within six months, the band had recorded their first EP I Want Us To Be Remembered, with LA producer Raymond Richards (Local Natives) and were off and running. From there the band garnered rave reviews from the LA Times and Billboard.com, made impressive debuts at CMJ and SXSW and established themselves as one of Los Angeles’ most promising young bands.
A House For Lions recently completed work on their debut full-length album with Grammy Award-winning producer Tom Biller (Silversun Pickups, Elliot Smith, Fiona Apple) after completing an innovative DIY crowdfunding campaign to fund the making of the album. By successfully bypassing the traditional crowdfunding platforms (Kickstarter, et al) and building their campaign from scratch, they’ve impressed the indie music world at large and attracted flattering press including an interview on NPR, articles fromDigital Music News, Hypebot and many others.
Not content to rest on any laurels, these brothers-in-arms remain dedicated to creating and sustaining a distinct vision in an uncertain musical landscape. “To all the new beginnings/to all the screws unspinning!”

Our favorite brotherly duo is back at it with another epic music video. This time for Natural off their Supreme EP. The brothers are known for making really fun, quirky and sexy music videos. Natural is no exception. The camera angles, the glitter, the girl, the massive keytar. It all just makes you want to put on your dancing shoes and climb right up on that rotating stage with em'!
Netherfriends' newest track "Joey Vision" finds him on all ends of the emotional spectrum. Locked in rather than tuned out, sinking fast with heavy fury, the track features Fugazi-laced urgency with New Wave inspired delivery. Shawn has endured the years of stubble and pain to scold the audience with an ironic yet honest declaration of taste. It's hard to tell if he is bragging, complaining, or both.
Building off of the success of their critically acclaimed debut CD Return of the Wildest!, Prima and the Witnesses immersed themselves in writing original music for the first time together and headed into the studio with co-producer and Warrior Records C.E.O. Jim Ervin. Recorded at Capitol Records in Studio B, where Louis Prima Sr. recorded his hits of the 50’s and 60’s, the seriousness of this music is masked only by the obvious fun that was had making it. The outcome is a host of superb innovative new material as eclectic and unique as each member of this powerhouse band, plus revved-up versions of Adam Ant’s "Goody Two Shoes" and Louis Prima Sr.’s "Robin Hood". Prima also sneaks in a vocal and trumpet duet with his father on That’s My Home, utilizing Sr.’s original vocal/trumpet solo from the 1959 recording combined with a new music track created by LP Jr. and the Witnesses.The Louis Armstrong cover bridges the gap between family generations as it rises into a heartfelt and hypnotic tribute to his father and is a loving homage to the city they both adore. But it’s on songs like first single "Go Let’s Go", the musical party "I Just Wanna Have Fun" and the soulfully explosive "Fame And Glory" that the band’s uniqueness shines through. The result of blending the skills of these musicians is a blistering assault on your senses that will make you shout out loud and get up and move.
Of course Prima has a lot to live up to–sharing a name with his celebrated father–but a new legend is being born, and it’s about to BLOW you away.
