9/22/2014 Last week marked the 300th time Hot Tub Johnnie and the Hunnypot Live Radio Show took to the interwebs! It was a jam packed night of music and celebration as we welcomed back our very first musical guest for an encore performance/interview and looked back on many of the great moments that has made the show what it is today.

Leading off as always was Hunnypot Radio Host, HOT TUB JOHNNIE who put together a party down set, which featured some of his top Hunnypot musical guests and artists. Including, LOUIS PRIMA JR., THE DOLLYROTS, MANSIONS ON THE MOON, DAS TAPES, HENRI, BOYFRIEND, YAEL MEYER, POLARIS ROSE and many more!

Our special guest was none other than our very first musical guest, LA's own, MICKEY AVALON. That's right, Mickey was the first guest on our first radio show which aired on November 14th, 2005 - nearly nine years ago!! Hot Tub Johnnie sat down for a special interview and listening session with Mickey where they discussed his start in the industry, touring the world, writing music and all the off the wall shows over the past nine years. Hot Tub even rocked through some classic Mickey Avalon tracks like "My Dick", "Jane Fonda" and "Hollywood". After the interview, Mickey performed a brief, but dynamite set where he stormed through his other classic hits "Mr. Right" and "Stroke". You can see the entire Mickey Avalon interview HERE !!

The rest of the nights celebration was executed perfectly by smokin' performances from LA based funk/pop/soul artist, ADDISON SCOTT and the funky, disco, dance songstress, KIKI KYTE. Not letting up on that dance throttle was HOT TUB JOHNNIE who dropped an encore DJ set loaded with plenty of disco, dance, boogie jams that kept the party rockin' all night.

Join us every other Monday night at The Mint as we continue to push the envelope with exposing today’s bubbling music talent. Here's to another 300!!

With notoriety north of the border, Canadian chart-toppers One Bad Son have just dropped the music video for "Satellite Hotel", the lead single from their upcoming LP: Black Buffalo. Directed by George Vale, this stripped down and pumped up callback to Rock & Roll's heyday refuses to conform to society's expectations - instead it holds fiercely to the tenants that made the genre a staple of North American expression.

We look forward to the release of the full-album, and of course their performance at the Billboard/Hollywood Reporter TV & Film Music Conference Official Afterparty

LA-based psych-pop purveyors Fever The Ghost have just unleashed a music video with an ideal ratio of wizards to green nipples. If the previous sentence wasn't enough of an indicator then let us clarify: the combination of carefully designed creative imagery featured in music video for "Calico" (the lead single from the band's debut EP) is one of the most delightfully daffy things we've seen in quite some time. 

Psychotropic Wizards, Diaper-Mummys, Neon-Chicken-Men, and an assorted variety of colored nipples convey SNL-level-insanity that mingles with the imagery of a psychotic Dr. Suess to create a supremely sublime setting befitting of counterculture specialists. But our words cannot convey just how creatively crazy this video is - check it out and see for yourselves, and finish off the batshit buffet with a healthy serving of Fever The Ghost's live performance on Hunnypot Radio.

Ten Walls' single Walking with Elephants is constantly on repeat at Hunnypot. We're long time fans and so excited about the new music video. The epic landscapes and camera angles are awesome but the dolphin-like scene of flyboarders in the ocean is mind-blowing!  This video is just not long enough. 

The 299th Hunnypot Radio Show was a jam packed night of music as we welcomed all the Sync Summit Conference goers for an exciting night of up-and-coming music acts that took over The Mint!

Hunnypot Radio Host, HOT TUB JOHNNIE dropped another hard hitting set with new tunes from PANAMA, JAJA KISSES, WIZ KHALIFA, CURTIS WILLIAMS x JUICY J, BASEMENT JAXX and many more.

Our special industry guest DJ was none other than Go Music's right hand lady, ALYSON VIDOLI. Making her second appearance on the show Aly prepared a smoking set of her favorite tunes at the moment. A playlist which featured tunes by THE BEATLES, ALT-J, EX COPS, TOM VEK, JESSIE WARE and many more.

As we noted above this past radio show was in association with the Sync Summit, so it was loaded with some of today's top trend-setting artists who put on one helluva show. last week's performances spanned across The Mint's Main Room as well as the newly redesigned Mid-City Music Lounge located in the back of The Mint. Last week's performers included Grammy winning music supervisor, GARY CALAMAR who joined Hunnypot for his very first live show. Gary performed a brilliant set of tunes off his forthcoming debut album "You Are What You Listen To" due to drop on 10/14 through Atlantic Records. Kicking things off at The Mid-City Music Lounge was Barbados based rock quartet, THE LONGEST NIGHT who brought out a loud and blistering set of pop, rock tunes. DEBBIE REIFER, took to the Mid-City stage next followed by CARUSO. Rounding out the night at the Mid-City stage was UK based DJ/Production duo, SMOOVE AND TURRELL and kicked out a banging set of upbeat soul jerkin' tunes. Back over at the Main Stage, NY based retro-soul artist, MAYAENI took over with a rockin' set. Melbourne based folk, blues-rock singer-songwriter, HAMISH ANDERSON dropped a killer set of Hendrix inspired guitar hooks. Closing out the night was our headlining act, Grammy award winners, DIRTY VEGAS. This electronic duo of Steve Smith and Paul Harris opened with a stripped down performance of their smash hit from 2001, "Days Go By". The boys were in town to promote their forthcoming album, "Let The Night" due out later this year and released through Rostrum Records. This is the groups first-ever self-released album. So keep your eye's and ear's peeled for new music from Dirty Vegas!  9/08/2014
