Fanatic.fm artist Xander Smith’s summer tour!
This just in from the incomparable (and can we say huggable?) Xander Smith, singer-songwriter-guitarist-Kickass-starter-van-wrangler extraordinaire. Is this just the most wistful, dreamy summer jam? Xander’s on a European tour. Yes, we’d love to hit the road with him. If you’re anywhere in the neighborhood, drop in and enjoy his music and company. Hope your enjoying […]
Joan Jett, DIY Pioneer
July 19, 2012
A friend sent this to me today out of the blue. As it happens, I’m going to see Girl in a Coma tonight, a trio of badass Latinas out of San Antonia, TX, who are signed to Joan Jett’s Blackheart Records. Jett was not only one of the women trailblazers in rock ‘n’ roll, she […]
Fans speak – Scarlett Cherry “It’s Only Change”
May 13, 2012
By June K. For Mother’s Day, from fierce mama Scarlett Cherry comes this live studio recording of “It’s Only Change” off her album “Labor of Love.” Co-written with Ty Taylor of Vintage Trouble, among others, this song sends chills up the spine with its bittersweet celebration of life’s changes. Perhaps it’s because I’m about to […]
Fans speak – Maïa Vidal “Follow Me”
April 28, 2012
We’re entranced by this emerging artist who seems poised to break through to the next level. Here’s her latest music video. Is she a wolf in sheep’s clothing? We’ll willing follow her into her den.
Fans speak – Vintage Trouble
April 25, 2012
One of our favorite emerging bands over the past couple of years is Vintage Trouble, a soul/rock band out of Los Angeles that has lately been touring Europe to growing acclaim. We had frontman Ty Tayler scheduled for an interview on the Juneau & Xena radio show, but then he got too busy!! Our loss, […]
Rethink Music Case Study – Portugal. The Man
April 24, 2012
Portugal. The Man prides itself as the second most famous product to come out of Wasilla, Alaska. The story of the psychedelic rock band’s saga – years of living out of a van while honing their music in gig after gig, their triumphant Bonnaroo debut, getting signed by Atlantic Records in 2010 – makes for an […]
Fans speak – Scarlett Cherry’s “Fierce Mama”
April 19, 2012
Scarlett Cherry is a Los Angeles-based singer-songwriter boasting a voice as sweet and rich as honey, a beauty that is half-earth mother half-Hollywood siren, and sass to spare. Her CD “Labor of Love”, released last year, celebrated her experience of becoming a mother, and broke crowd-funding records on Kickstarter. Enjoy her performance of “Fierce Mama”, […]
Fans speak – “Limited” by Jascha
February 24, 2012
Science journalist and singer-songwriter Jascha Hoffman released his latest oeuvre today, “Limited”. The music video created by John Pavlus is a mash-up of classic science fiction movies about the relationship between humans and artificial intelligences. But while the films generally view the relationship from the organic beings’ points of view, here the song inverts the […]
Fans speak – Maïa Vidal’s “Alphabet of My Phobias”
January 11, 2012
We’re loving this ravishing music video of singer-songwriter Maïa Vidal‘s new release, “Alphabet of My Phobias.” In this song, the waifish Vidal twists the innocence of a child reciting the alphabet into a litany of horrors of modern life. The video by filmmaker Noni Korf intermingles dewy, bridelike images of the lovely Vidal with childish crayon scrawls that morph […]
fanatic.fm artists Xray Spectacle 1 of The Dark Lights
January 5, 2012
We were instantly hooked by the opening electric guitar riff and falsetto vocals of this two-song EP from The Dark Lights. Formed when Australians Matt Ho, Rachel Ho and Alan Grillo moved to London in 2010 and joined forces with East Enders Paul Andrews and Paul Hayward, the band fuses a dystopian techno vibe with dance pop.
