Hunnypot favorites A House For Lions just released their debut music video from their debut LP Hills So High. Directed by Manash Das, "Ordinary Life" packs an ambivalently blissful gut-punch of humanity into beautiful landscapes, detailed cinematography, meaningful interactions. In lieu of heavy-handed praise (we'd give this video 5 stars if we did that type of thing) we highly recommend that you give the video a look, and the song a listen. 

Kyle an emerging hip- hop artist out of California is coming at you with another hot new video “Love 4 You”. Kyle recently released his debut album Beautiful Loser and is getting ready to go on tour this fall. We got nothing but love for Kyle for his multi-colorful, retro, 90’s inspired video.   

Someone once said that R&B/Soul music is dead. Well anyone who thinks that hasn’t heard Marcio Donaldson yet. Marcio is one of the premiere R&B singers/songwriters emerging out of Los Angles, California. With his flawless falsetto, to impressive writing skills and his captivating stage presence is winning fans over. Marcio debut EP “24”is available on iTunes now. His fist single “Superman” is our video pick. Marcio shows off his talents as scenes shift between him playing guitar, piano and drums, while professing his ability to be a women’s man of steel at the same time. Marcio will be performing live on the Hunnypot Radio show on 10/20/2014.

They just released the single and video “No Fun” and just announced that they will be touring across the US and Canada as part of the IHEARTCOMIX's Check Yo Ponytail Tour . There’s no word on a new record, but here’s to hoping! The video is awesome but The Presets made something even more awesome. They made a cube out of the video. It’s this virtual interactive adventure that has to be seen. Check it out on their website: nofun.thepresets.com

The ever-persevering Watsky has had a very busy summer and has an even busier rest of the year ahead of him.

Next Monday night (8-18-14) there is no Hunnypot Radio Show, but that's no reason to stay at home & Netflick the night away - oh no, no, no! See our friends THE BEACHES are coming from north of the border to bring the mystery of Canadian Rock to Hotel Cafe. They recently signed with Island records, so if you want to say that you saw them before they got big, now might be your only chance. 

HOBART W FINK has risen through the ranks of the Los Angeles music scene at an incredibly fast rate. In what seems like the blink of an eye they have gone from newcomers to veterans without losing any of their hunger.

As if that were not enough, they are celebrating their debut album's release with a residency at Los Feliz hotspot Harvard & Stone. Be sure to catch them every Tuesday  (5th, 12th, 19th, 26th) and pick up a copy of their debut LP which was recorded and mixed by Chris Kasych (Wavves, Phantogram, Vampire Weekend, Haim, P!nk, Santigold) on a vintage ’74 Neve board and mastered by Alex DeYoung (Macy Gray, NOFX, Pennywise).
