Hunnypot Approved!!! "The music is a ride. And it’s one that you should take as often as you can, with the volume turned up. Just say yes to the question posed in slinky seduction of “Horses Mouth:" “I’m never bending to the imitations/ Why don’t you come and take a trip with me?”"
One of our favorites girls is back with some heat! Kali Uchis is a Rapper/Singer/Producer that has managed to capture a sound and style that is like no other.She made us fall in love with her when she dropped her "Por Vida" video and now shes back with her new video " Know What I Want." Her unique laid-back sound is a mixture of doo-wop and golden age hip hop that just makes you want to sit back and cruise. Kali Uchis' first EP Por Vida is availbe now for download on itunes.
All the way from 2012, We got a taste of Macklemore and Ryan Lewis during their unforgettable performance on our 222th Hunnypot Radio show!
We wish them the same if not more success in the future!
Hottub's favorite was when they played, "And We Danced," starting at 7 minutes in!
Bearheart is a Nashville based band whose song writing and instrumentation often defies the Alternative Country label that is usually assigned to them. Their musical influences range from traditional bluegrass and folk to classic country and Indie Americana rock. "Glass Half Full" is off their newest EP released in late 2014. http://www.bearheartmusic.com/
When PopMatters and Team Rock agree on something, it is cause for curiosity. In this case, the mystery is Prima Donna's new single "Deathless". Known for high-strung, heavily distorted, bulls on cocaine type energy the LA Rock scene mainstay has taken a nonchalantly wide turn towards proto-americana; a change in direction that's as refreshing as it is unexpected.
Written in a Spaniard hostel (because of course it was) and featuring a driving yet deftly danceable shoe gaze beat, "Deathless" feels like a winding, tumbleweed-laden dirt road in a Robert Rodriguez movie: while scorpions, banditos, and all kinds of precarious dangers most definitely lurk just beyond the horizon, Prima Donna is just too goddamn cool to care.
We’re invoking ole-ole-ole all around. In a rare (collect) call E.T. told us it was A.O.K. to feature him in his Arc de Dumpdump Atari 2600 video game.
Not only did we make a video from a previous album without having finished videos for our current album, but we also used archival footage from Lost in Space and the US Army. On the video game front, Defender also makes an appearance.
Nothing says alienation from people like aliens. Enjoy.

A surf-rock/oldies inspired band with a new twist and shout. Like a hydro-electric Surfaris Mothra rising from the ashes of an African village burned to the ground by minotaurs from Buddy Holly's personally shaded zoo garden in the sky. http://thenewelectricsound.com
Playing Hunnypot Radio Live at The Mint Feb. 9th 2015!
Kicking off our live music segment was Indie Folk Singer/Songwriter, JULIET PIPER. Juliet performed songs from her Wonder & Time EP. Our next guest was London based songwriter, CHESNEY HAWKES. Best known for his 90's pop smash "The One and Only", Chesney is still at it and continues to write and produce based in LA. Chesney joined us for a special sit down interview and live performance where he delivered a calming and joyful acoustic guitar and piano set. Joining us from our own backyard, was SWING HERO performing a tasty alternative post-punk rock that left us all with a rebel attitude. THE WEST COAST BOUNCERS hit the stage real hard! Residing in LA, they spun a killer set, you need to experience. Closing out the night was N0VEL who's Dance/Pop styling sparked the dance party.
BIG THANKS to all who came out and enjoyed the 308th Hunnypot Radio Show!! If you were unable to see the show or missed one of these special performances head over to the Hunnypot Radio page and continue to join us every other Monday night at The Mint as we continue to push the envelope with exposing today’s bubbling music talent.

Approximately 50,000 singles were released in the UK during the nineties. With five weeks at the top, the twentieth most successful release of that entire decade was ‘The One and Only’, the lead song from the soundtrack of the film “Buddy’s Song” sung by a 19 year old Chesney. The song has gone on to be the subject of numerous compilation albums, TV ads, TV theme music, film soundtracks and, now a student anthem, continues to top ‘Best pop song of the nineties’ polls.
Chesney has worked with writers and producers from a broad section of the industry, among them Mark Goldenberg (The Eels), Jesse Valenzuela (The Gin Blossoms) and Counting Crows producer Marvin Etzioni. Other collaborators include Howard Jones, the Police’s Stuart Copeland, Nik Kershaw, Bijou Phillips and more Rob Davis (co-writer of Kylie’s Can’t Get you out of My Head). Artists continue to cover his songs and he has had material recorded by three international Pop Idol winners. Tweet @ChesneyHawkes chesneyhawkes.com
Conceived by Marshall Gallagher (ex-Solar Bear, touring guitarist for 3OH!3) in 2011, Swing Hero is an amalgam of shimmery dreamo and virtuosic post-grunge. The delivery is heavy, pretty and deceptively straightforward. The subject matter: growing up and dealing with heartbreak is exhausting, no matter who you are. Music fans will find a nostalgic comfort in layer after layer of warm guitar, mid-tempo pocket grooves and vocals that are both lyrically sharp and melodically contagious.
For the band, 2014 brings the prospect of at least one brand new release, shows spanning the west coast and midwest, and a chance to prove their true prowess in the wake of their recent relocation to Los Angeles. Swing Hero is climbing steadily, gunning for soft spots and sentimental hearts around the globe. swingheroband.com Follow @swinghero
DJ Serafin & Jared Lee Gosselin
Individually these two have conquered modern music. From underground dance to classic rock, these two super DJ/Producers have energized every note and beat possible. But together they form one of the newest and most watched production teams of today “The West Coast Bouncers” featuring guest vocalists Fatman Scoop & Blake Lewis will soon be a name to surpass the countless number of awarded songs and remixes the duo has individually accomplished.

Sophia Grace is your new #1 girl. She just dropped her new music video "Best Friends" and boy, do 2nd graders know how to party. Sophia and her best friends dance down catwalk have an elaborate shopping spree at Kmart and Sophia throws down some serious rap game. Whether or not the video was intentionally hilarious, it had us laughing pretty hard and left us thoroughly entertained. We can't wait for the next one Sophia!
