Late Night performances in the U.S.A. often showcase some amazing global artists or bands you may have never heard of or ones that you’d never have imagined would grace our TV screens over here.

20-Somethings – BritPop

abigailpixler5452

Pop is in my heart. It’s in my head and on the tip of my tongue as I sing. It’s a massive part of me because it is the type of music that I latched onto the earliest when I was a kid. Why? I’m not sure, but it’s one of my favorite genres even to this day – 20 years later. Maybe it’s the carefree mood it gives me… making me forget my problems by causing me to dance or sing instead. Or maybe it is because I love “pretty” things and well, pop is a “pretty” genre, at … Continue reading 20-Somethings – BritPop

Mad Props – 06.10.18

ALBUMS CHICKN WOWSERS! Released May 11, 2018 Greece  |  Psychedelia/Experimental If You Like: King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa, The Who, Small Faces, King Crimson Channeling the absurdity of Frank Zappa and combining it with the listenability of today’s Indie Psychedelic movement is Chickn. Their sophomore album is pretty dang solid in it’s 9 song’s worth of content. Upon first listen, I found it quite astounding that more people were not talking about this album or this band… the fact that they were for the most part, going unnoticed despite this glimmering example of old school … Continue reading Mad Props – 06.10.18

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: New Single by Viggo

abigailpixler5452

EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: VIGGO’s Be One Norway | New Wave Pop/Electronic Stuck somewhere between the 80’s and modern times, VIGGO is a new wave, atmospheric pop collective that is fresh out the oven! I don’t think it is by any accident that this group came together so cohesively seeing as how the impressive lineup consists of a bunch of veteran Norwegian artists – Sjur Miljeteig, Charlotte Qvale and Marte Wulff. It’s sort of a “modge podge” of people from different genres and backgrounds, BUT IT TOTALLY WORKS! Sjur is a jazz musician and composer, Charlotte is an actress turned pop singer … Continue reading EXCLUSIVE REVIEW: New Single by Viggo

Why J-Pop?

abigailpixler5452

While K-Pop seems to be conquering the world right now, I thought it would be fun to chat about what got me into the music scene in Asia first – J-POP! Japan is a country that is intriguing in more ways than one. Sure, there are the beautiful landscapes, with breathtaking mountain scenes, pretty cherry blossom trees and scenic ocean views, but what stands out above all else is their culture – the people who call that land their home. When you fuse music with Japanese culture, you get a truly enchanting experience filled with wonder, techy visuals and state-of-the-art … Continue reading Why J-Pop?
