It’s been a while since we’ve heard from Goldenboy. After working on new music for a little while now, Shon Sullivan is taking his music to the people with a string of shows, including a Tuesday night residency at The Press in Claremont, CA. Catch him there tonight and check out the shows page for info on others shows.
The Hood Internet went ahead and mashed up Wallpaper.’s “I Ain’t Most Dudes” with Little Boots’ “Earthquake” to amazing results. Sounds so good. Head over to Hype Machine to hear and love that.
iTunes just named Wallpaper. one of their Artists to watch in 2010! We’re quite please to have them in the company they are. Others on the list include Owen Pallett, Yeasayer, and Local Natives. Check out the feature here.
Last year, Los Angeles-based band Great Northern released the the fine CD Remind Me Where The Light Is, which, aside from setting a record for number of songs with one-word titles, cemented the band’s reputation for producing rich tapestries of melodic rock. They are led by the talented Solon Bixler, formerly of 30 Seconds to Mars, and lead singer Rachel Stolte, who has one of the best voices in the business.
