The Hands offer sample of their upcoming album Synethesia

hands A ROUND OF APPLAUSE FOR HANDS [STREAM]

This reminded me of the ’80’s or was it ’90’s sound (pretty sure it ’80’s) when the big thing was synthesizers. With the song “The Game is Changing Again” the band the Hands have grabbed hold of that feel and ran with it.  If you were a fan of the music back then you will probably be a fan of this one.  Thanks to Wild Honey Pie and be sure to visit their website for more music news: http://www.thewildhoneypie.com/

Attention All Veronica Mars Fans

The fans have spoken.  Warner Bros. that owns the Veronica Mars property made a deal with show creator Rob Thomas that if he could get a $2 Million backing off of KickStarter then a Veronica Mars movie could be made.  The KickStarter was a success and has raised above the $2 Million dollar amount.  Therefore, plans are in the works to start movie production this summer and be ready for airing in 2014.  This shows that with KickStarter fans have another outlet to keep a series alive other than a writing campaign to the studios.

Release of Rachel Sage’s “Invisible Light” Video

 

Rachel Sage just has one of those voices that appeals to me.  I have loved her music since I first heard her.  Thanks to The MuseBox for alerting us of her most recent video for “Invisible Light” (linked below).  The video is fairly simple which suits the song.  My favorite parts of the video are the close ups of Rachel and her hands playing the piano.  Her upcoming schedule is below so go out and see her when she is in your area.

CHVRCHES “Recover” Music Video

Thanks to Wild Honey Pie for alerting everyone to CHVRCHES new music video “Recover” on YouTube.  It has a great Science Fiction flare to it and has an, what looks to me, update HAL in the video for 2001: A Space Odyssey.  This single uses the Synthesizer as its main instrument which fits well with the video.  They must have taken that into consideration when developing the music video.
