Metropolis America’s latest Single and Music Video

Metropolis America
Release “A Stolen Heart In A Stolen Car” Video
Indie – Steedog Records

METROPOLIS AMERICA RELEASE VIDEO “A STOLEN HEART IN A STOLEN CAR”   “A Stolen Heart In A Stolen Car” is an ode to the recklessness of youth. It’s about living in the moment, transgressing boundaries, and feeling the euphoria that comes with not giving a fuck.   Its video, perfectly captures the essence of that rebelliousness. Focusing on two girls who have run away from home and rejected the banality of their formal existence, their escape is alive with the feeling of being young and drunk on life, drunk on possibility but also on drama.

The video is directed by Mate Valtr and produced by Brian Sperber and their efforts and production show a clean short film that has the beginning, middle, and end.  These are the types of music videos I appreciate because they tell the story from the song.  Their hard work has paid off by giving Metropolis America a great music video to go with a great song.  Check it out below from Metropolis America’s YouTube channel:

Torgny Releases “Gronn Extra”


Tørgny

New Single Out Now
 
 
“Grønn Extra” (Green Extra) is the first single off Torgny’s new album Oil Panic. Somewhere between Broadcast’s “America’s Boy” and Chromeo’s “Needy Girl,” it draws from both electro funk and experimental pop.
 
Yes it’s catchy, but “Grønn Extra” is uncommonly gritty too, drawing on Torgny’s  dynamic vocal performance and
years of experience in the international hardcore/punk scene.
“Gronn Extra” reminded me of the Electric Pop for the 1980’s to 1990′.  Kind of think of the Beverly Hills Cop sound track and it’s “Axel F Theme” or Miami Vice music that they featured.  Fans from that era will definitely groove to this.  If you are new listeners check it out, you might find yourself grooving to the beat.

 
 
“Grønn Extra” is off Torgny’s upcoming LP Oil Panic, out November 8.

Lots of Love Children’s Book Launch

Lots of Love’s Jessica Fleischer
Launches Her Children’s Book

‘Little Luna and The Universe’ 

 

 

 

On

Thursday, September 26th, 6-8pm
at Books and Cookies in Santa Monica.

RSVP : info@lotsoflovemusic.com

Five years in the making, Little Luna and the Universe not only teaches children about the bigger picture of the Universe on a scientific level, it also exposes them to spiritual themes of love and oneness that are necessary to fully grapple with the hugeness of our existence.

On the night we meet Little Luna, she dreams herself to a distant place in the Universe.  Far away from everything she knows, she must learn about the Universe before she can go back home and return to wake up in her bed.

She learns about galaxies, the solar system, and the names of all the planets. She also learns about the moon, and that the Universe and everything in it are one.  By the end of her journey, she understands that she is part of that oneness.



Jessica Fleischer has been playing music in some form or another for as long as she can remember. Her first release under the LOTS OF LOVE moniker, From the Start, was released in August. Recorded with Rooney’s Robert Schwartzman, it draws on everything from Electric Light Orchestra to the sound of 60s girl-groups, fusing nostalgia-steeped pop songwriting with a fresh and modern point of view.

Check out the “From the Start” Premiere on The Huffington Post

Free Show at Silverlake Lounge

 


 

PRESENTS

MONDAY SEPTEMBER 23
at SILVERLAKE LOUNGE

 


 


 

Monday nights are usually dead in this town, but you can fix that by coming out to Silverlake Lounge next week for the third night of The MuseBox residency. This Monday we’ve got an extensive bill, headlined by La Dolce Vita with support from the Mo-Odds and the Moderates.

 

 

La Dolce Vita are fronted by Emmy Award-winning actor Michael Imperioli of the Sopranos, and they make the kind of scuzzy rock and roll that’ll have us all running out to buy CBGB/OMFUG shirts afterward. We’re thrilled to have them and we’re pretty damn sure you’ll dig their GBV-meets-Richard Hell vibe, too.

 

 

The Mo-Odds have built a reputation in Los Angeles for their insane live show. The Moderates are Long Beach’s favorite hook machine, and their new album Colour has picked up some nice buzz.

 

 

Don’t miss them. Come out to Silverlake Lounge on September 23, starting at 8pm. Oh, and did we mention it’s free? Because it’s totally, 100% FREE.
