Palms (Sun Hotel)

IT'S FINALLY HERE!!!!!!!!
Sun Hotel have released their very first full length album titled "Coast" and no matter how many times I listen to this album, it still makes me weak at the knees. These five lads charm their fans with their devilishly handsome good looks and sweet melodious harmonies. Recorded at Loyola, "Coast" is an album not only technically brilliant, but lyrically and musically innovative. I'm good friends with all of them, but I'm not sure if they've caught on yet how much I'm obsessed with this album. What makes Sun Hotel stand out is 1) They are the epitome of a DIY band. They write, record, market, book, and manage everything they do. 2) The lyrics. Listen to them. They're not your typical words of wisdom. They're better. 3) Harmonies. Drums. Guitar. It's all good my friend. Damn good. Devin, the drummer, makes exceptional videos of all their tours and recording processes. Take a peak:



Their cd release show is this Friday September 24th @ One Eyed Jacks 9pm and they're playing with CADDYWHOMPUS!!!! First 50 people will get a free HIGH LIFE in a new Sun Hotel Koozie. I kid you not. I won't say anything more about the album so without further adieu, I give you "Coast"......

Cough Coughing (Menomena)

Back in the station and it feels good....real good. Saturdays 4-6pm central time is where you can hear my co-dj Kota and I hit the airwaves on 91.5FM (for da locals) or online at WTUL New Orleans. We had our first show this past Saturday and it was simply bodacious. I made a playlist of the songs we played in order. Some local bands that we played on the show don't have their songs uploaded on Grooveshark yet so it saddens me to not have them on this playlist. But maybe I'll try to upload them for everyone else's sake.




Jean-Eric


Do you like to dance? Party? Smile? Then I think you should most definitely lend your ears to New Orleans natives Jean-Eric. "Lounge Crunk" is what these lads categorize themselves as (a genre they created). Sometimes you need that music that makes you get the fuck up and dance. Their shows are entertaining, to say the least. And their aim seems to be deriving the fun out of any situation, infusing it with spirit and passing it out to everyone present. If that doesn't give you enough incentive to listen them, then watch this video of Jean-Eric paying WTUL a visit! Which means you lovely people finally get to see where I DJ!! At about 5:30 you see them running through the stacks of cds and vinyl at the station. I meant it when I say WTUL is a magical place.



Jean-Eric is playing in Shreveport, LA on Sept. 30th with two bodaciously delicious bands: The Octopus Project and Starfucker.
