One band that resonates with Phoenix Ash is Siam Shade. Siam Shade just recently release the song “Still We Go”. The first thing the Phoenix Ash members wanted to do was make a tribute cover to the song. This is mentioned in the Visit we had with the band and you will be able to hear that Visit tomorrow morning when it is uploaded. But today I want you to enjoy Phoenix Ash’s tribute to Siam Shade. Be ready because, if you haven’t heard them before, Phoenix Ash will knock you socks off. They have a great rock sound and they are ready to rise back up into the industry. Thanks to Aaron and the bands YouTube channel “phoenixashmusic” and enjoy the “Still We Go” music video below and remember to be here tomorrow when we upload our Visit with the band:
JULIA WELDON
PREMIERES NEW VIDEO FOR
“YOU NEVER KNOW”“You Never Know” is one of themost vulnerable tracks on Julia Weldon’s sophomore album Light Is a Ghost.
Produced by Saul MacWilliams (Ingrid Michaelson, Dan Romer) and featuring Adam Christgau (Sia, Tegan and Sara) on drums, the album showcases Weldon’s storytelling, voice, and unmistakable charisma.
She draws on everything from indie folk to blues rock, dialoguing with current artists like Bon Iver, Iron and Wine, and Cat Power as well as legends like Bob Dylan, Elliott Smith and Suzanne Vega.
Julia Weldon’s possessing personality and captivating music crosses bridges and divides. With unfailing fingers, she tells stories that feel both intensely personal and widely universal. Unapologetically herself, Weldon’s songs grab you— asking you to pull up a chair, pour yourself a whiskey, and stay a while.
The song overall I liked. I was a little zoned out at the beginning because the intro was a little too long and she didn’t actually start singing until a bet later than what I would’ve liked. Be careful not to lose the audience. I like that you went with a melodic song and really enjoyed the lyrics to. I think the beginning of the video was really confusing and it could have been executed a bit differently. Overall I think Julia has a lot of great things going for her and is looking at a bright future of growing and conquering. April B.

Phildel has a strong high voice. Her style of music reminds me a little of Enya. It is very melodic and has a mystical sound to it. The videos carry that feel as well, especially with the black masks that the women wear. Check her tour dates below and be sure to mark you calendar for the date in your community.
Her debut album The Disappearance of the Girl, out now on Decca Records, won praise throughout the world, with the UK’s Clash Magazine calling it “an irresistible masterpiece.”Phildel is pleased to have the opportunity to perform its songs, along with songs from her forthcoming EP The Glass Ghost, for North American audiences this November and December.

BETS’s sound encapsulates elements of musicians such as Lay Low, Feist, El Perro del Mar and Saint Vincent. BETS worked with Espinoza and Murray who helped her produce the album. Recording took place at The Ship studios in Eagle Rock, a haven of everything nautical, where Betsy feels “right at home” despite having no association to the sea!

If you are a fan of interesting and unique music videos Sour’s latest is right up your alley. For the music video of “Life is Music” the band did an animated video. You say that’s no big deal and you would normally be right. In this video Sour uses 189 CD’s that the animation was put on and then spun to create the animated look. It’s pretty neat check it out for “SPACE SHOWER MUSIC” on YouTube:

New Gods Release Debut LP Beloved OUT TODAY 23 October 2013 |
This is one of those groups that for me you would have to be in the mood for. This isn’t one you would rock out to by any means. This is one that you would put in on a lazy day or hazy day when the weather is dreary. The group has a good sound, but in some songs the lead singer gets lost in the music and becomes muddy so you can’t quite understand him. The interface above that they have with the release is really cool for us older listener’s (giving us a little feel of nostalgia). I’m not sure if today’s crowd, unless they are into music, will appreciate the cassette reference. The gallery is also a nice touch to give listeners a different experience.

In the YouTube video below from Shu Uemura’s page Hatsune Miku sings the theme for the anime short. The anime short is a tie-in for famed make-up artist Shu Uemura and contemporary artist Takashi Murakami’s “Six Hearts Princess” cosmetic line. It is entitled “6HP Pink & Black”. The short was produced by Marakami’s Ponkotan Studio with character design by mebae. Have fun with the short and Hatune Miku’s song:
