We Like Monsters

By Leave a Comment

We Like Monsters:  Denver, Colorado.

I was lucky to have the opportunity to see We Like Monsters live at Moe’s BBQ in Denver during the Underground Music Showcase, a festival.  These fellas are an indie band with a real unique sound & feel.  The lead singer, Tim, is a standout band orchestrator with a a drum stick sticking out of his back pocket as he sings. Previously, Tim was in a band called GreenField where he sang, said Adam, the former bassist in greenfield.  When he is not singing, he either plays the keyboard or triggers samples and sounds with his midi pad, as the rest of the band takes center stage. The other band members pick up the slack with their superb musicality and feel.  The bassist, has a rocker’s stance, and beanie to match it. The lead keyboardist has a double stack, or two keyboards on top of each other, each with their own customized synth sounds to enable versatile timbres for melodies.  If you like the music, don’t miss an opportunity to see We Like Monsters in a personable venue (before they become well known)!  Have a listen and be sure to listen to the music video: “Le Tigre” (see below)

Wanderlust Wednesday Presents Sebastian Blake

By Leave a Comment

Ladies…this one is for you. Sebastian Blake is a 22-year old singer/songwriter from the UK.  His smooth vocals, reminiscent of Michael Jackson and Prince, are beautifully matched with his acoustic sound.  Creating his niche in the London music scene playing on beaches and in local bars, this artist is exemplifies the passion and dedication it takes to make it. Sebastian harbors this breathtaking talent that is apparent in both his recordings and music videos. He calls his musical style, “an acoustical injection of rhythm and blues, soul, pop music.” Captivating and refreshingly distinctive, Sebastian is a true artist worth keeping a ear out for.
His much anticipated debut EP, “Milk’s a Luxury” will be released this summer.

Manolis Moumouzias: from Greece


This artist takes the one man band approach, creating layers and harmonies with himself in his home studio.
His talent is clear though collaboration often elvates a sound where one man falls short.  That said, this music by Manolis Moumouzias is impressive and has the potential to captivate an audience.  With dedication to the creative process, Manolis creates his unique interpretation of sound with the motto “just because  a part was recorded, doesn’t mean it needs to be in the mix”.. His cover, Stuck like glue, is his most popular video on youtube.

Mellow Mood Monday… With some spacy, reverse to close the desert of silence.

Bradley Garner: Invercargill, New Zealand

“My name is Bradley Garner, I’m an 18 year old singer-songwriter in New Zealand.”  This young man has a clear vision for who he is, and where he is going in the music industry.  Not afraid of the camera, you can find many personable videos on his YouTube Channel. “My music is fueled by life events, love, romance, broken hearts…  My music is real, there is a story behind every song and I try to get a message across in every performance. A positive message of making the most of life and living a good one.”
He is influenced by  Jack Johnson, Bruce Springsteen, Jason Mraz, John Mayer, & One Republic.”There are a whole heap of influential musicians and bands that I’ve been ‘moulded’ by, however, more recently I’ve branched away from these and am focusing on creating my own unique musical style.” – B. Garner

Now or Never (Instrumental) by ashelynsummers

“I use session musicians for the recordings, so it varies a bit by track. I list the credits for each song on my website These are the regulars:

1) Jennifer Takahashi – piano
2) Jervy Hou – piano
3) Hiro Goto – violin, viola
4) Irina Chirkova – cello
5) Dave Stone – double bass
6) Mick Taras – guitar
7) Drew Allsbrook – bass guitar
8) John Ferraro – drums

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wszkii5pr9k&w=560&h=345%5D

I asked Ashelyn what inspires her. She replied, “I am classically trained vocally, and much of my songwriting is inspired by composers such as Nobuo Uematsu and Sergei Rachmaninov. I like to incorporate classical techniques into my songs, and I seek to always use real instruments, as a digital counterpart can never fully recreate the nuanced timbre of a live cello, piano, etc. I believe there is great beauty in the complexity of classical compositions, and I hope to one day be able to emulate them more completely.” Well said! *Ashelyn, you are going somewhere! Where ever your music travels, take the us with you. Stay Tuned!*

You Discovered Canasta Hear @FreioMusic

[youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N3GXNBYIAQY%5D

Canasta, from Chicago, Illinois,  could be he next big pop band out if Chi town!  Their music is moving, and the band is tightly knit together.  It is not as if we are the first to notice this talent, Best of Chicago 2010… loaded with intricate yet accessible orchestral pop music— Huffington Post.  I asked Elizabeth (vocals/violin/percussion) about the
direction of the band and what they strive for, and her articulate reply is as follows… “Living amongst the immense musical talent in a city like Chicago is eternally inspiring. But standing apart from the crowd can be a never-ending challenge. So Canasta came together in early 2002 when six friends joined forces and augmented the standard rock set‐up with piano, violin, keyboard and trombone, in an effort to craft a more ambitious strain of majestic, ultra‐melodic, orchestral pop”.    The band is composed of 6 friends:

Jeremy Beckford – guitar / vocals
Sarah Kneebone – piano / keyboard / vocals
Elizabeth Lindau – vocals / violin / percussion
Brian Palmieri – drums
Matt Priest – vocals / bass / trombone / percussion
Ryan Tracy – keyboard / piano / bass / vocals

Every member brings their talents and enthusiasm to create a well-rounded, very talented up and coming band.  “Maybe it’s my ability to pester people to help get stuff done. I’m good and networking when I have time to network. I also do a lot of band administration” Says Elizabeth.  The band is connected to all the right places, and in turn, has a strong and growing network of fans across the globe.   I would not be surprised to see Canasta playing at festivals around America within a year, Look Out Sasquatch!  Stay close to the band by following them on Twitter.
