The 131ers was founded in 2012, the band has grown from a two-piece blue-veined American folk project to a full scale quadraphonic tour de force. The solid foundation of friendship between founding members Kaleb Davies (vox/guitar) and Ryan Dawson (drums) permeates every note, eventually shepherding fellow members Chris Graue (bass) and Greg Wilmot (guitar) into the fold. The 131ers have claimed their own unique genre-bending sound by successfully infusing rock n’ roll with funk, edge, passion and soul.
The 131ers are from Torrance, California and play indie-folk-rock that frequently draws comparisons to "classic Americana." The band records all their music in their home built studio and produces their own music videos. A little bit of their blood, sweat, and tears can be found in everything they produce. But not literally, because that would be gross.

Hunnypot was the runner-up to fly to the moon with Space-X but that square Elon wouldn't share his weed with us so we bounced. Our 400th show got our minds off of that trip. What a show! Hot Tub Johnnie launched the night with hot hits towards distance stars. Kii Arens returned from Mars (or other) to drop new music from his band Jinx, new stories (and old) and to spin some out of this world tunes. Jason Hawk Harris kept us grounded in classic country music, Kemo the Blaxican came baxican to the hot tub with rock steady California beats and bars, Nigel Stargate opened a portal of funk and rap and even brought some extra special friends through including Hip Hop Legend Dana Dane and we finished off the night with another famous Hunnypot Dance party that lit up the night sky. Recap: J. Gray / Photos: J. Gray, R. Taalbi, J. Born 09/17/2018
Kii Monroe Arens was born in St. Paul, Minnesota to parents Robert and LaVae Arens. He has two brothers and one sister. From an early age, Arens had an affinity for morning cartoons, notably Sid and Marty Krofft. The show, coupled with his interest in fonts, colors, spacing and layout, set in motion a growing fascination with art and design. His early passion for music was also strong, augmented by growing up in a musically inclined family. By the mid to late 1980s, Arens was DJ’ing around the Twin Cities, and had a brief stint in Rap music, under the alias ‘2 Percent’, opening for Gang Starr, EPMD, DJ Quik, amongst others.
Arens’ early immersion in the Twin Cities music scene exposed him to many elements of what would become important features of his graphic art, including: album art work, package layout, photography, poster design, creative direction, music video direction, merchandise design/creation and music production. Although Arens created artwork continuously growing up, his career as an artist was substantively set in motion with a design gig for the Woodstock ’94 festival. Originally brought on as a hotel coordinator, he was invited to attend meetings about the festival’s design direction, and raised concerns with what he saw as an overly nostalgic festival look (one that recalled too closely the Woodstock ’69 festival).
After returning to the Twin Cities, he started working for Niceman Merchandising. Arens’ album design/layout career continues to this day, and has featured many projects, including: Dolly Parton’s Backwoods Barbie and latest, Blue Smoke,Eagles of Death Metal’s Heart On, Ziggy Marley’s Wild and Free , Glen Campbell’s Ghost on the Canvas, Pete Yorn’s Back and Forth, and, most recently, LA musician/producer Jonathan Wilson’s Fanfare.
In 1994, Arens joined his brother, Brynn Arens (Obsession/Fun House/Oddfathers), in the rock band Flipp, active from 1994–2003. He assumed guitar and backup vocal duties. The band had a penchant for cartoonish stage presentations and costuming, and embraced the Glam-rock genre reminiscent of the early 1970s, even amidst its decline as a result of bands such as Nirvana and Kurt Cobain. Their Hollywood Records debut, Flipp (1997), saw them opening for bands such as Oasis, The Ramones and Cheap Trick. They released two follow-up albums, Blow it out your Ass (2000) and Volume (2002). Although Flipp has never officially disbanded, they have not performed live since 2003.
A visit to Los Angeles in 2003 prompted Arens’ move to his current location on Santa Monica Boulevard in Hollywood, California. As his work in album art and band merchandising continued, he began creating unique, non-music associated art pieces. His pieces soon appeared in many galleries around Los Angeles, notably: M Modern, Subliminal Projects, Gallery 1988, and his own gallery, La-La Land Gallery, which opened in 2004.
Arens has exhibited in many shows, notably: Happy War… It’s the bomb, the first official show at La-La Land, which featured the work of Arens and many local pop-artists, including: Shepard Fairey, Chris Reccardi, Gary Baseman, Niagara, and many others. Art in the Dark, another show, was an exhibition of Arens’ own pieces, images created using black light reactive paints and lighting rigs, which concealed hidden content that could be revealed upon the flip of a switch. In 2005, he traveled back to the Twin Cities, to exhibit a gallery show at Ox-Op gallery. The show was based around Spin-o-Paint/Paint-by-numbers/Oil paint. Later that year, lalalandgallery.com was created, an online venue for a series of customized lightboxes created by Arens. The lightboxes were also exhibited at La-La Land, and featured in a story by the Los Angeles Times. His “Hot Lunch Artshow” followed in Oct. 2005, and featured classic tin lunch boxes customized with local Pop art. By 2008, Arens found himself as curator of an art show based on the concerts at the Hollywood Bowl. It included pieces for artists such as Liza Minnelli, Grace Jones, and Femi Kuti. His first major concert poster was completed that year as well, for a Beck/Spoon/MGMT show at the Hollywood Bowl.
This has spurred a career in concert print creation that continues to present, with over 250 pieces created for artists such as Radiohead, Queens of the Stone Age, Dolly Parton, Stevie Wonder, The Weeknd, Sonic Youth, The Who, Queens of the Stone Age, Devo, Diana Ross, Divine Fits, The Pixies, Tony Bennett,Glen Campbell, Bruno Mars, Tame Impala, The Beach Boys and many others. He also created posters for various All Tomorrow’s Parties events, as well as Goldenvoice’s Coachella. In 2010, Arens created a print for Radiohead’s Haiti benefit concert in Los Aangeles. Two editions of 250 prints were sold, and helped add to a grand total of $572,754 raised by the band during the event.
Arens’ co-direction of the music video, What We Do, for the band Devo (2011), began to broaden his creative endeavors. The video centers the viewer in a full 360-degree scene, allowing them to choose to participate in many different interactive visual aspects.
In November 2011, his second co-directed video, Ghost on the Canvas, was done for country musician Glen Campbell. It features Paul Westerberg of the Replacements, who also penned the track. Arens’ admiration for Campbell lead him to co-direct two more videos for the artist. A Better Place (2012), featuring Josh Homme of Queens of the Stone Age,and Hey Little One (2013), a tribute to Glen’s wife, Kimberly “Kim” Woollen, who helped Campbell in his battle with Alzheimer’s. Most recently, Arens co-directed the video for Vampyre of Time and Memory, a track from Queens of the Stone Age’s sixth album, …Like Clockwork (2013). The video featured three separate rooms that the viewer can navigate, creating a unique viewing experience.

Years before developing his own brand of confessional, cathartic country music — a sound he describes as "meta-apocalyptic country/Americana grief-grass" — Jason Hawk Harris chased a different muse as a classically-trained composer.
He was rooted in the orchestral influence of modern classical music from the 20th and 21st centuries. He loved the theory behind the genre. The atonal arrangements, too. It all started with a fondness for Queen, whose albums accounted for some of the most frequently-heard records in Harris' Houston household. The band sounded progressive, mixing the punch of rock & roll with the complexity of symphonic music. From there, Harris discovered Debussy and Mozart. He eventually enrolled in music school and graduated with a degree in composition, which he immediately began putting to use.
After writing thousands of measures of classical music, though, Harris found himself drawn back to the country, folk, and rock music that had soundtracked his early childhood. He'd grown up listening to classic crooners like Hank Williams, Roy Orbison, Jim Croce, Patsy Cline, and Elvis. That music had laid a sort of musical bedrock that couldn't be ignored. Later, after hearing bluegrass musician Michael Daves playing a stirring guitar solo, Harris knew he needed to somehow incorporate his country-loving childhood into his songs.
"Hearing Michael Daves tackle that solo really woke me up," he remembers. "There was something wild about the way he played. He played with abandon. Something sparked in me again — the same spark I'd heard when I first discovered Brian May's guitar solo on 'It's Too Late' — and everything changed."
Harris began cutting his non-classical teeth with the Show Ponies, an Americana group based in L.A. He played guitar for the band and produced most of their albums, racking up several million Spotify streams along the way. Meanwhile, problems arose in his personal life — including a family history of addiction, which ultimately resulted in the early death of his mother — and began fueling Harris' need to write his own music.
Released in November 2017, the five-song Formaldehyde, Tobacco and Tulips marks Harris' debut as a solo artist. It's an emotional EP about joy, pain, sorrow, and grief, tied together with autobiographical lyrics and sharp, detail-rich songwriting. The record also paves the way for Harris' full-length album, which draws a distinct bridge between his country and classical roots.
"I love country music because it's built upon a collision of the sad and specific," says the songwriter, whose music evokes comparisons to imaginative Americana frontmen like Daniel Romano and Robert Ellis. "I want to treat it like an art form. I want to show people how seriously devastating it can really be."
Although performed with traditional country instrumentation — including acoustic and electric guitar, pedal steel, bass, strings, piano, and the occasional harmonium — Harris' LP reaches far beyond the genre's rootsy influence. There are complex chords, acrobatic arrangements, and unexpected intervals. There are cathartic songs about love and addiction. A classically trained composer turned country singer, Jason Hawk Harris proudly operates within his own lane, proving that there's something stirring and compelling about musical culture clashes.

Five Delinquent Habits albums, three solo albums and countless tours around the globe including the UK, Europe, Japan, South America, Mexico and Taiwan - Kemo the Blaxican? of ?Delinquent Habits? ?is releasing his first "Trifecta" a 3 song EP titled Ugly At Times ?featuring GODFORBID? of ?That Handsome Devil?. These one-of-a-kind projects is something Kemo chose to name Trifectas. For this first release, this duo packs a dynamic punch on the three piece trifecta. West Coast swagger fused with East Coast swank. Ugly At Times? is a collaboration of two prominent veteran hip hop artists with undeniable chemistry saturated with ambitious vision that beautifully defines the art of hip hop. The EP brings together two potent MCs to deliver a brutally honest impression of hard lives lived, question intention, and convey a deep powerful message about love. With production duties handled by Dr. Quandary & Louis Mackey, Ugly At Times ?packs enough musical and lyrical punch to satisfy even the most fever pitched Hip-Hop addicts. Ugly At Times ?is slated for release nationally Friday August 17, 2018 on Dead Silence Records.
Kemo the Blaxican? hails from the Lower East Side of Los Angeles and is an original member of Los Angeles based Hip-Hop group Delinquent Habits?.He’s equipped with a soulful style bilingual rhymes and profound lyrical content. You hear the smooth-yet-powerful baritone vocals delivered with a distinctive tone. You recognize the voice as it commands attention with provocative lyrics over flavorful tracks. This MC shifts the rhyme from English to Spanish, and then back to English again seamlessly. Your head nods the whole way through. Godforbid,? a distinguished veteran of the East Coast underground: he cut his teeth in the 90s & early Oughts, as part of the rap group Alaskan Fishermen, with the legendary Thirstin Howl 3rd. For the last decade, "?Godforbid"? ?has been the frontman of the nationally-lauded gypsy rock band That Handsome Devil?, but always keeping his hip hop roots close.
Kemo the Blaxican's? latest release Upside of Struggle? on Dead Silence Records is series of hip hop tracks inspired by his roots; specifically southern California culture and the music that influenced his youth—from west coast funk, soul, and classic hip hop, to traditional Latin music. The album also features guest appearances by Sen Dog? (Cypress Hill) and Tetsuya Weeping Willow? Nakamura (formerly of War) on the track“Just What You Feelin,” as well as contributions by Sick Jacken? (Psycho Realm) on the album. ?Upside of Struggle? is Kemo’s third solo album on Dead Silence Records. The 12-track incarnation bursts with musical styles and compelling arrangements. Kemo’s lyrical skills stretch back and forth between L.A. street slang and barrio Spanish. He moves the listener through moods, harmoniously encapsulating contradiction, antagonism and the co-existence of good, even during bad times, all with mind bending ease.

A Stargate is a universe that allows practical, rapid travel between two distant locations and the Megastar Nigel Stargate embodies this sentiment in his music. The alter-ego of Rapper/Producer Caviar, Nigel Stargate comes from the “Hills” of Compton, California. A magical place where hip hop music meets posh royalty, two distant locations. Stamped by the renown Dana Dane, Nigel Stargate is produced by Caviar and has recorded a vault of eclectic posh hip hop music at Caviar’s The Vault Studios in Hollywood.
Nigel Stargate’s treasury of music contains songs with artists like Marsha Ambrosius, Cee Lo Green, Macy Gray, Trinidad James, Big Gipp, Kokane, Keith Robinson as well as the legendary MC, Dana Dane. “When You’re Rich” one of the tracks recorded at The Vault, was Nigel Stargate’s breakthrough song featuring Cee Lo Green. Nigel worked with Music Video Director, Mike Marasco, to visually capture the life of Nigel Stargate who receives the traditional Hollywood perks when he is transformed from a homeless person to a rich man in the “When You’re Rich” video. Nigel loves everything visual and his desire to tell his stories pictorially resulted in a collection of music videos for all of his songs.
Nigel is fresh and creative and his craving to fill the void in the music business brings originality back, an element that has been absent in hip hop for a long time. Imaginative lyrics, fresh hooks and new beats took their proper places on Nigel Stargate’s songs in lieu of lifeless lyrics, humdrum hooks and boring beats. The Greek Philosopher Plato said that “Music is moral law. It gives soul to the universe” and Nigel Stargate is the portal.

The ninth studio album from German Thrash Metal legends Necronomicon , titled Unleashed Bastards is set to be released on Sept 28th via El Puerto Records. A relentless, up-tempo thrashing masterpiece from start to finish, the album is an excellent hybrid of the barbaric, ultra-fast, ultra-violent musical style of late 80's thrash metal, combined with the capabilities of modern-day production. With frontman Volker "Freddy" Fredrich's harsh blackened vocals, the driving rhythm section, thundering double bass, and screaming guitar riffs and leads that incorporate some Neo-Classical elements, the band have developed a precise, and technical chemistry together as musicians that speaks for itself. Bands among the "Big 4" of Teutonic Thrash Metal: Kreator, Sodom, Destruction, Tankard, come to mind when describing their massive sound.
Necronomicon was formed in 1983 as a punk rock band, releasing a lo -fi demo tape titled Total Rejection. The band was heavily influenced by UK Hardcore Punk acts such as Discharge, the Exploited, and GBH. As the years went on, their style gradually became more metal as they became influenced by bands like Metallica and Slayer and by the time their self-titled album was released in 1986, and sophomore album "Apocalyptic Nightmare" in 1987, Necronomicon had developed a dark, immensely fast style of metal that was arguably among some of the most extreme music of its time, featuring the shrieking/growled vocals not uncommon in the early black metal bands of the same time period, such as Venom, Bathory and Celtic Frost. With their influences being as evident as they are in the band’s repertoire, Unleashed Bastards serves as an excellent example of how much they have evolved together as a band over the years, and proof that Thrash Metal is still alive and well in 2018, and it’s not going anywhere.
"Everything is there; from punk to old school, from speed to flawless Thrash Metal. A full menu," says frontman and founding member Volker 'Freddy' Fredrich. While primarily a thrash metal album, it is a unique hybrid of different sub-genres. Featuring the double guitar harmonies found in bands among the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, the rapid-fire tempos of Hardcore Punk such as in "Religion Live Fast", Blackened vocals, and the occasional melodic chorus that hints at Power Metal such as the one featured on "Malevolent". What stood out to me about this album was the strong influence of classical music and the effortless application of it to a thrash metal context. At times the band would transition from a classic double time metal feel into a more melodic section which featured exotic scales and shredding, Neo Classical leads and riffs. The title track of the album is a perfect example of this, as well as "Personal Enemy". Overall this album is the complete package, simultaneously old school and modern. It is raw, yet technical. Chaotic, yet melodic. I can only hope that this band will do a tour in the states and more metalheads will have the opportunity to see this cult thrash act play live and discover them, if they have not already.
As always, rock on my friends! Hunnypot Approved! Overall Rating: 9 out of 10
Artist: Necronomicon, Album: Unleashed Bastards, Release Date: September 28TH, 2018 (Pre-order HERE), Label: El Puerto Records GbR
Gary Numan is considered by many to be the Godfather of electronic music. From early classics like "Metal" to his latest album, Savage (Songs from a Broken World), his music transcends the test of time with a powerful sound that is truly unmistakable. Numan seems to continually be reinventing himself in ways that keep his music relevant while pushing his creative envelope to whole new levels. More remarkable still is that this ‘continual evolution’ is still taking place some 40+ years after his first release with the Tubeway Army.
On Tuesday night, Gary Numan took center stage at The Observatory OC and kicked off the second US leg of his Savage Tour – and did do in spectacular form. Donned in what many considered his ‘Savage’ attire, Numan and Company launched into a massive set that spanned a lifetime of incredible work. From the haunting sounds of “Everything Comes Down to This” to the familiar sound of 1979’s “Cars” – there was something for everyone in OC that evening. Those that hung in there till the end were rewarded with a powerful encore consisting of “Ghost Nation” and “A Prayer for the Unborn”.
All in all, Gary Numan’s 17-song set delivered on countless levels and placed a solid exclamation point on what I consider one of the top live performances I have seen in 2018. Fans in attendance were subjected to a throwback show that proved over and over why Gary Numan is still at the top of his class after all these years. He’s a once-in-a-lifetime artist that puts his heart and soul into everything he does, and his sheer genius was on display for all to see on Tuesday evening. Bravo.
On their absurd and hilarious new single, the Stockholm garage punk band Viagra Boys parody a particularly American brand of masculinity. The song is, after all, called “Sports,” and a good bulk of the lyrics involve naming different types of balls: Baseballs, basketballs, and beach balls all bounce around the song, emphasized with relish in a comically low voice by frontman Sebastian Murphy. Meanwhile, a hefty mid-tempo drumbeat and a meaty bassline keeps things moving along, joined by a scuzzy three-note guitar riff.
The beach party described in the lyrics gets more and more surreal and lurid as the song unfolds: Somehow, everyone’s both naked and wearing short shorts. People ski through the surf, smoke cigarettes and dope, and eat wiener dogs. Suggestive imagery abounds, and as the music grows in tension, the vocals become more and more deranged. Murphy screams “SPORTS!” at the climax in unhinged exasperation, stuttering and spitting out the word like he needed to defend his manhood at all costs. The song is a perfect indictment of the sort of sweaty, brittle masculinity that tends toward overcompensation. What do you do when your identity is on the fritz—when the real, abject experience of being human catches up to you despite your attempts to dude it away? Smoke a joint, eat some meat, scream the name of every single sport you can think of.

Kisspanic is a Modern Rock trio from Los Angeles CA. The band is formed by Rudi Meibergen, Thomas Rojo and Fer Fuentes. They are about to launch their first album with Darryl Swann in Hollywood
RUDI MEIBERGEN, (creator) - Rudi is a chilean music composer. He has worked on the music of several Hollywood productions including shows for Netflix, Fox and HBO (*). But Rudi's passion extends beyond scores and orchestral music to his first love, rock, the reason why he was the frontman of the band Weiza for more than ten years to then create Kisspanic.
THOMAS ROJO, (bass player) - Producer, and Owner of Pattern Recording Studios in Culver City, Los Angeles, CA. Rudi met Thomas in music production classes. They became friends, then co workers for several productions, and finally decided to start working on the pre production of the album together.
FER FUENTES, (drummer) - She played and recorded with the Latin Grammy and MTV Award-nominated band MammaSoul, and toured through Europe and South America with La Banda en Flor. Has performed with artists like Debbie Gibson, Abraham Laboriel and Oscar Hernandez. Fer had worked as a sessionist with Rudi back in Chile for several music projects. When they knew they were both living in LA, they decided to start working together again on this new production.
KISSPANIC - The band is finishing producing their first album with Darryl Swann, triple platinum producer known for working with artists such as John Frusciante, Rock Rubin, Macy Grey, Stevie Wonder, Mos Def, Erykah Badu, and the Black Eyed Peas, among many others. Darryl was Rudi´s teacher at UCLA. One class Rudi showed some mockups of what he had in mind for his album and Darryl believed in the project and became his producer. The album was recorded at Clear Lake Recording Studios (No Doubt, Jimmy Eat World, Anthrax, Back Street Boys, and Ringo Starr...). At the same time is also recording a sinngle for a music compilation that supports the refugees over the world in 4th Street Recording Studios (Incubus, Muse, System of a Down, Nelly Furtado and the Beach Boys...).
