Introducing for Cooper in 2014

 

 
Indie Pop Darling To Make Waves in 2014
 
Debut Single “Heaviest Of Weights”
Coming January 2014
Exclusively via TheFader.com
 
 

Monday, December 16, 2013 – Impassioned guitar slinging vocalist COOPER is the newest project from Kate Cooper and executively produced by Sara Quin (Tegan & Sara). COOPER’s debut single, “Heaviest of Weights” (coming January 2014 exclusively via TheFader.com) highlights COOPER’s indie rock sound and strong, yet angelic vocals.
Catch up with COOPER now with a free download of her track, “Flood”  (available via her website). The ethereal, rousing choral-synth “Flood” builds the anticipation for forthcoming single “Heaviest of Weights” and debut album coming next year.
LISTEN TO COOPER now.
Cooper has an interesting sound.  I like the beat and her sound on “Flood”.  Of course I love the upbeat music.  If the rest of her music is like this she will be one to watch.

Surprise Geek Wedding for 10th Anniversary

Michelle sent me this story, which I thought was pretty cool.  For their 10th anniversary a husband planned a surprise geek wedding, for his wife.  I don’t know if I could get this by Michelle and she would probably roll her eyes when she got there.  She isn’t into the SciFi/Comics/Gaming like I am, she lets me do my thing though and sends me cute emails like this one.  She’s great!  Anyway check out the cake and rings, kind of cool.  The groom and groomsmen didn’t dress up in costume, they had on comic related T-shirts under their shirts.  Thanks for the story Michelle, we’ll have to think of something for our upcoming 25th Anniversary.  Click on the link below to get the full story and additional photographs.

What Any Anime Fan Needs to Ring in the New Year

The retailer Rakuten in offering three separate bottles of champagne that anime fans would love to have.  The three bottles are Evangelion Brut Champagne, from the champagne region of France, made by Cattier.  Each bottle has a separate etched image of Rei, Kaworu, and Asuka, and they are embedded with a Swarovski crystal.  One bottle has a suggestion price of 31,500 Yen ($305).  So if you want one of each it is going to cost you a pretty penny, but it is kind of cool, just not within my budget.

SEXY & VIBRANT “HUNTERS” FOLLOWS

FILTER PREMIERE OF FIRST SINGLE “BON VOYAGE”

Brooklyn based indie group Haunted Hauses are back with their next single “Hunters” available to listen, download exclusively via The Music Ninja.

Haunted Hauses began as a collective of friends and includes Leif Huckman (Ex Cops), Autry Fulbright (Trail of Dead) and Eric Rodgers (VHS or Beta). Seeking a musical outlet with a different sound from their current bands, they all wrote and recorded songs in between rehearsals and tours.

From the two songs “Hunters” and “Bon Voyage” the Haunted Hauses sound is an upbeat light sound.  I would say they fall within the Electronic Pop genre with their music.  The instruments don’t overpower the vocals, in “Hunters” they come close to that edge, but they don’t quite cross that line.  From what I have heard Haunted Hauses is a group you will want to check out.  So click on the two links above to listen to “Hunters” and “Bon Voyage”, I think you will like them.
