Here comes the music video of "Hearts on Fire" by Ediblehead! Bright, vivacious, and playfully dynamic, the duo is the culmination of a transformative journey for two multi-talented musicians: Robby Rockit, formerly a founding member of the critically acclaimed space rock band 'WEST INDIAN GIRL", and Eva Zeva, a multi-talented newbie. Their debut album ANIMAL LICK STICK is the wellspring of their infectiously catchy and mind-bending creative tunes.
Fans of Le Tigre and No doubt, take a look and come see Ediblehead shine. This music video of "Hearts on Fire" plays their electromagnetic energy playfully and colorfully. When you watch the video, you will feel an outburst of emotional energy; it conjures the catharsis of aimlessly driving around the streets to workout heavy feelings and realizations. In the making of the music, Eva confirms “there is a childlike energy that informs what we do, it’s about letting go and having fun,” while Rockit chimes in: “It’s like a beat-oriented candy-colored rainbow with a message of self belief. If you let go of fear and doubt, all doors will open up.”
Ediblehead will perform at Hunnypot Live on September 19th at the Mint. The event is free and open to humans of all ages.
They make pop music. They think. They wonder. And they want people to think and wonder about them.
The Goon Sax, an indie-pop group from Brisbane that began in 2013 by Louis Forster and guitarist James Harrison. Their band name is a symbol of youth - a goon sack in Australia an inexpensive silver plastic bag of booze within a wine box. In 2014, Riley Jones joined the act after learning to play the drums for a month. Their tunes cleverly expresses their experimental experience that come out from the inexperienced, and everything in between.
In the mind state of "Up to Anything," you are open, rudderless and confused, and will go along with anything that life presents you. It goes to that place of vulnerability where self-doubt gets to your head, turn you upside down, you will have to try hard to get back onto your feet again. Try watching their music video. It will remind you of your confused yet exciting state of delicate teenage.
If you're a fan of the disturbing-yet-catchy beats of groups like Die Antwoord, it's about time you discover the post-soviet jams of Tommy Cash. In his new video "Winaloto," Cash does everything he can to disturb the viewer: whether it be featuring seductive siamese twins, drumming on a blubbery boy's fat belly, or, yes, photoshopping his face on to a woman's most intimate of areas. Yet, somehow, amidst the skin (so much skin) and the somehow humorously aggressive dancing of Tommy Cash we find ourselves bobbing our heads the whole time. Try to watch it without pressing replay--we dare you.
This week we have another video from our favorite gender-queer rapper Michete (see our coverage of her newest video, "Come Get it Daddy," here). Though perhaps less peculiar than "Come Get it Daddy," this video makes us dance like no other. In front of a colorful circus-esq background, Michete and her friends pose, twerk, and "smeyes" at the camera in a way that makes us all feel like the badass b*tch Michete so embodies. Don't miss her Los Angeles Debut with us at the Mint October 3rd!
Take a listen to the new single out from Electronic/Country group Moonshine Man. "Trouble" is an infectious, upbeat song about a man down on his luck. This jam is as easy to love as it is to dance to. Ask us how to license!

Halo Circus is an unclassifiable band described by its star singer, Allison Iraheta, as creating “anthems for introverts” – songs that reach deep into the places we seldom talk about and roll them out in unforgettable music. Unlike most modern bands, Halo Circus spent three years developing their sound in front of live audiences and re-recorded their entire debut album when it failed to live up to their own expectations. Their live shows developed such a reputation that The Grammys asked them to headline their first-ever local Los Angeles showcase, which led to Halo Circus being asked to play The Grammys “Women Who Rock – Festival At Sea” with Heart, Emmylou Harris, and other iconic female singers, which led to John Taylor from Duran Duran calling them “The best live band in the USA,” which led to a very successful four-week Friday night residency at the prestigious Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, which led to incredible press, and most recently Halo Circus curated and headlined their own event, called “Say It Loud! A Night of Cultural Disruption,” at the legendary Troubadour to a packed house and rousing reviews. Vents Magazine called the evening “transformative,” and claimed that Halo Circus “embraced the future of rock music.”

HORSES HEAVENHorses Heaven is music that tells a traveling love story. It is a melodic description of time spent together and a documentation of adventures that inspire by taking the listener on a sweet, soulful, and honest journey. Bijou Choder and Analise Lofaro mix their words and voices to create a story that is not only heard but also felt.
In the early days of their romance, the couple began writing music together. This connection grew into a deep love and subsequently, Horses Heaven. Both having an extensive and unique background in entertainment, they inspired each other to create a new sound and begin a fresh chapter in their musical endeavors.
The couple took their sound to the studio and gave it life, building around simple songs written on either guitar, piano, or ukelele. Then they gave the songs "studio treatment" with horns, synths, and whatever else walked in that day.
In the lush wilderness of Vermont, there sits an enchanting place called Horses Heaven, which is a deep emerald swimming hole nestled between two towering boulders and found far from town. While visiting this majestic location one humid summer afternoon, Bijou and Analise were inspired to write their song "Vermont" as well as adopt the name of the swimming hole for their collaborations.
“We hope our music cuts the mustard for you as much as it does for us.”
Joe and the Jungle are here to put some L.A. sleaze back into rock n roll. Coming at ya straight off the Sunset Strip by way of New York City... imagine if you threw Guns n’ Roses, Cheap Trick and The Beatles into a blender and added a dash of The Sex Pistols for flavor…the resulting mess would be Joe and the Jungle... [they] make me think about what Velvet Revolver could have been if Scott Weiland wasn't such a candyass. Or maybe what it would have sounded like if GnR had dropped the cocaine in favor of dropping a little acid instead. These guys remind me of a time when rock music was a little dangerous and the musicians playing it tiptoed on the edge of disaster.

Underworld is a British electronic group hailing from England. After forming in 1980, the group became known for their visual style and dynamic live performances. This black and white video for their new song, Nylon Strung, shows images of faces and hands while their melodic electronica plays in the background. This conceptual video is both interesting and hypnotic and showcases their ability to make their artistic vision a reality.
Nylon Strung is taken from Underworld’s new album ‘Barbara Barbara, we face a shining future’, out now.
Formed at a party in 2009, heavy metal singer Max and DJ Wawashi fuse their seemingly incompatible styles to make the disco duo Hard Ton. The mix of Sylvester-styled falsettos and contemporary beats make for music that reminds the listener of the past while moving them to dance in the present. The video features an epic battle between Karl Lagerfeld and a multi-eyed monster, fought with lasers, fireballs, and perfume. Check it out and tell us what you think!
Formed in New York City in 2010, Parquet Courts is our favorite quirky to rock band to spin during our Hunnypot DJ Sets! With their new album Human Performance, the band takes on a slightly more mature sound, mixing their iconic eccentricities and feedback with elevated lyricism and implied political nuances that may originate from their time in the DIY punk scene. Sensitive and odd, their new video features a puppet party that makes the viewer uncomfortable enough to think. Check it out and tell us what you think!
