IS TROPICAL

My new discovery IS TROPICAL. I had randomly won tickets to the show last night at the echoplex in LA having intentions to see LESANDS, I had been meaning to check them out for some time (which Lesands is a great band, and great performance). I heard all this talk about IS TROPICAL playing after and my friends and I thought we might as well wait for them to go on hear one or two songs then stroll on out. We ended up staying the whole set! The first thing that attracted me to the band was that one I wasn't able to see their faces, and two I didn't understand what was on the middle guys face! Anyways their first two songs were insane, I couldn't tell you the names of them but they were way good. Another odd thing was to see such a small crowd go utterly insane over this band! I guess my friends and I were out of the loop. I ended up inching closer to stage/speakers kinda loud but made the songs that much greater. Their beats are UHmazing. OH did I mention they are from London!! They said something in between songs and their accents were beautiful! Caught me off guard. It had my friends and I tempting to speak in English accents for the rest of the night. One song that I do remember was Zombie, which is my favorite song!! LOVE the beginning beats of that song.. SO GOOD.

Anyways, enough of me rambling. Check out IS TROPICAL!!!

Gorgeous London Band that won't show their beautiful faces!!!! 

Keep it Classy.

FOUR TET

FOUR TET ||  TWITTER ||  FACEBOOK ||  MYSPACE

I discovered Four Tet a while back through a remix for Born Ruffians - I Need A Life. It was an amazing remix. Recently I took a listen to Four Tet remix of The XX - VCR and that was amazing as well. I finally took a listen to his own beats and they are insane. My favorite is probably Plastic People, and Love Cry. Those two songs but me in a state of ease & bless. I recommend listening to his work while studying or walking to class, or just in the mood to be relaxed and chill.

You must listen to this song with GOOD headphones or else you are just wasting your time. It sounds so incredibly good with headphones

Strange to think that Sky Ferreira and I are the same age and has experienced so much more than I have. She is 19 year old singer/songwriter, actress, model. I see her all the time in blogs with celebrities, never really wondered who she was until I saw that Katy Perry tweeted a picture of her at a party. Then I saw a photo of her and Kanye West together (as seen above). I did some research and I love her music. I can't wait to see her become famous, she seriously has the potential.

Check out her music video for Obsession

Shake it Down

I keep trying to finish this paper on gender roles (boring) but it's so hard when this song exists in my life.

Hipster Bullshit

SO basically I was watching numerous vlogs of my favorite blogger Molls Acleer and I fell upon her vid of her praising this supposedly great mix by g3kg3k. I have to say this is the best 74 minutes of my dancing life.. like aready 4 minutes into it and my song is playing! I love it. I took Molls advice and I downloaded that shit. 

If you don't believe me here is the Molls video praising this Hipster Bullshit AWESOME remix.

ZACH CONDON

I just wanted to make a post in admiration to Zach Condon from Beirut. I was on a music hunt the other night and I ended up watching over a billion interviews/music videos/acoustic songs on youtube. After my listening spree I have come to realize how talented Zach Condon really is. His voice range is amazing and the fact that he can play the most interesting instruments is impressive.

||  LITTLE STORY  ||

When I was seventeen I went to Coachella 2009 for the first time. I got lost from my friends & of course my phone wasn't working so I was a bit scared. I was walking past the Mojave Tent and I heard Beirut playing, I watched his whole set by myself. I forgot about my worries and enjoyed where I was. Hearing Nantes live was more than a perfect moment.

This video is what won me over on his talent. From the description it says it's in Paris. In video they are just having fun, and it's the effortless talent that Zach Condon has that fascinating. 

Walter Meego

I heard Walter Meego over Pandora and let alone the first 20 seconds the song Forever started playing I fell in love. I did a little research about this band. I would call their genre dance, rock. I checked out their shows in the LA area because I would LOVE to hear their beats loud/live. I found that they are playing at The Echo in November & with White Apple Tree another great band. I haven't been to a show in some time now and I think I am going to make it out that night! I think the show sounds like fun with great bands.

Kai Fish

Kai fish is originally from the Mystery Jets. His solo work is Uhmazing. The beats are soothing. I for one am hoping to see a tour in the near future, and hopefully in the Los Angeles area. Not quite sure what else to say about him, other than I am really excited to see what else he produces. If you check out his website he has a FREE download for Cobalt Cheeks. It is worth the download, trust me. 

Metronomy

I just discovered this band all of 30 minutes ago and I fell in love with their beats. I was looking at who performed at Glastonbury in 2011 and I fell upon Metronomy! I especially love their remix with The Very Best, and Architecture In Helsinki. Luckily for me I discovered them a week before they are in my town. Metronomy has a show at the Troubadour THIS Saturday and a show literally 15 minutes from my place at the Detroit Bar. Unfortunately the Detroit Bar is 21+

Quilmes Rock/Pepsi Music Festival

This major festival is in Buenos Aires, Argentina. The festival is held annually since 2003, although it is just called Pepsi Music Festival since 2005 because they are the main sponsors. Quilmes was the previous sponsor but due to loss in profit Pepsi took over. Here is a fun fact, it's one of the LARGEST & LONGEST festivals in the country with 200,000 attendees and lasts for 10-11 days! Can you imagine being in festival mode for 10-11 days? That would be amazing.
