Recently went to the Hotel Cafe tour at the Fonda Music Box in Hollywood, and saw this girl play. Very cool music! Think of her music as a cross between Beethoven and Biggie Smalls. Her latest CD release The Symphonies: Dreams, Memories and Parties is available on iTunes. You can get full info at her website, and hear some samples of her music on her MySpace page.

They've been getting some airplay on Satellite radio and Indie 103.1 - great band! Listen to samples and watch videos at their website.

VAMPIRE WEEKEND!
Posted by spiana 04/29/2008
You may have already heard this band, but just in case... their debut CD just came out a few months ago, their first 2-song EP was just released 6 months ago, and their music is fantastic! Very creative and very catchy using a mix of alternative, ska, reggae, Brazilian, among other influences. Definitely worth a listen - one of the few bands who inspired me to buy the whole CD just to hear more.

Meiko - a local SoCal musician to watch. I heard this girl's song "The Piano Song" on Sirius satellite radio, and she's got some seriously catchy music and a cool voice. Her fan base is understandably growing - she's also been pegged by KCRW as an up and coming artist. Give a listen to her music at her site. She also has a few song downloads there.

Herman Matthews -- His debut CD, "HOME AT LAST" Now available!
Posted by Herman 06/05/2007
"Home at last" is in the moment, sincere, gentle and way in the pocket. To release "timeless" music is not an easy task. Herman did not set out to do this, he just did it.
