Dia’s Latest Single and Music Video “Valentine”

Dia sets a late 1960’s to earlier 1970’s tone with her latest single “Valentine”.  From the first heavy beat that softens with the verse and the guitar takes more center stage is very reminiscent of that era’s pop/folk sound.  When the chorus comes back in the heavy drum beat hits you again.  Throughout the single the central instruments shifts between drum and guitar, with the chorus and verse.  The music video that was made for the single has the same late 1960’s – early 1970’s feel to it by using simulated old footage and possible even authentic old footage.  This footage merges the video and single very well to transport the listener back to that time.  Here’s Dia’s music video for “Valentine” through her YouTube channel – Richard:

The New Division Releases Latest Single “One Night In Tokyo

The New Division is sharing with our listeners their latest single “One Night In Tokyo”.  From out of the gate you know this is an electronica/synth single.  It took me back to bands like Flock of Seagulls and the like.  It’s a heavy single, but with the bright synth sound it still makes this song a fun listen.  If you dig the electronica/synth sound you’ll like The New Division.   The band has their next EP, Fader, planned for release this Spring, until then they want you to enjoy “One Night In Tokyo” through SoundCloud – Richard:

Batman Ninja Trailer

Warner Bros. Animation keeps coming out with interesting titles.  Of course Batman is going to be the focus of most titles since he is the most bankable, but that doesn’t hurt my feelings since I’m a Batman fan.  Anyway here’s the trailer to Batman Ninja through DC’s YouTube Channel:

Ariel Hyatt’s Thoughts on Musicians and Websites

Ariel Hyatt has been working in the Public Relations extensively and she wants to share her experiences with musicians and help them reach their goals.  Here’s Ariel in her own words:

A lot of artists find the idea of building a musician’s website daunting. It’s difficult, it can be expensive, and is it really necessary with Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat, Spotify, Bandsintown,YouTube and all the other profiles you need to manage? In a word, yes.

 

While a certain amount of business and fan growth takes place on social media, if you don’t have an effective website, you’re going to have a hard time being found and noticed by fans and industry (bloggers, managers, A&R reps, etc.) alike.

You absolutely need to have your own domain as it represents your official homebase on the web that is fully in your control. Effective social media trends come and go, (hello Facebook!) but your website is yours forever.
It is perfectly possible to create an effective website at an affordable price.There is a global marketplace of fabulous platforms and talented designers (like ours) who can help you build a beautiful site for a few hundred dollars.

A lot of artists drive themselves crazy building websites because they forget that simplicity is key.

Read my blog post all about it which includes the 7 simple website elements you need to include to make your site relevant and easy for fans and industry to navigate here

 

And we are very excited to annouce we are now designing websites for musician’s. Click here to find out more and schedule a call with me to discuss!

DYGL’s Music Video for “Come Together”

DYGL is sharing with our listeners their music video for their single “Come Together”.  This quartet is hitting us with a fun rock single.  The single has an infectious beat to it that will get your head a bobbing and body a movin’.  Really enjoyed this single from DYGL.  The music video itself is a performance video, but it has some atmosphere to it with the haze and coloration that is used.  If you are going to be at SXSW be sure to see them perform live.  They have two performances planned: on March 15, they will be at Maggie Mae’s at 10 PM and then a second performance on March 17, at Esther’s Follies beginning at 12 AM.  Here’s your taste of the groups sound with DYGL’s music video for “Come Together” through their YouTube channel – Richard:

Monster Hunter Stories Ride On Trailer

Monster Hunter Stories Ride On Part 1, is the next season of Monster Hunter Stories from FUNimation.  The animation done in this series is reminiscent of something you would see in Digimon and Pokemon.  It looks geared for younger anime fans, but before you let younger fans watch you might check it out first just to be safe.  It looks fun and with the mini-dragon concept I can see young fans eating this series up.  Here’s the trailer through FUNimation’s YouTube channel:
