Video of the day - "Kiss Chasing Stars" - Superbird


KISS CHASING STARS
Subscribe to their Youtube


Superbird reminds me of a well-mixed cocktail specifically a cosmopolitan with its fruity irreverence but known to pack a punch when you get up off your bar stool. A little goes along way but you will most likely need another sip.

This team of three, Joe Finnigan Vocal/guitar, Alex Ash, drummer and Freddy Sidero provides the electric bass lines rush the arcade doors with pure bluster. The boys sport their Saturday night best; woven knit white pants, sequined jackets, paisley magnificence on Freddy, the bass master. Joe coifs his beard and lets his long hair writhe from side to side as he plays his guitar with surpassing swagger. Alex rocks the messy do which completely suits him as he whacks those drums with insouciant flair.

“Kiss Chasing Stars” explodes like a flamboyant firecracker. The boys do their synchronicity thing while dancing in unison with bowling balls. All the while keeping the music rolling. Lyrics like this  solidify their uniqueness. (Read my interview below for their song writing process.)
“Stella moon the ballroom, love dancing baller/Brighter than lights on Broadway /Golden sands, foreign lands, /I’ll take you away Day into night, chasing stars on through to daylight”

Self-described:
“A peacock inspired music phenomena, hosted by Joe, Alex & Freddy; a colourful pop-funk n’ roll power package, freshly delivered from the stork of love...”  Let’s fly high with the Bird.

Song of the day - The Big Swirl - Barney Cortez

Wild opening sequence  draws you in with a sweep of psychedelic, cowboy energy.  barney favors Stetson looks btw.  Eclectic guitar riffs match the lyrical sass and elegant horn accouterments.  Barney comes at you with silky smooth vocals that belie the hard truth as he tells  a little story about his journey.  He thought he should call this track Runaway but The Big Swirl spews intrigue.  He sing about being a coke a cola freak and the failure trap.  So he Runs away. "The Big Swirl" emanates from a song by "Sir Rockaby",  Frank Black tune. The particular use of the term moved Barney. He told me,  " " It's what he calls the sky and the universe and I came to use the phrase as the spectrum of human emotions and experience. Sort of like a rebirth." This is deep and poignant kind of like much of Barney's music and though process.  Barney imparts a casual vibe but his songs are ripe with world wariness. He has a groovy vibe sport

Artist of the Week - Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia

A n ironic set of results when you Google,Rubber the band.  The useful office staple pops up. This useful educational article appears Rubber: A simple introduction - Explain that Stuff There is also a 2010 movie entitled Rubber. ´ Rubber  is a 2010 English-language French independent, satirical horror film about a tire that comes to life and kills people with its psychic powers.” Apparently it’s based on a true story. Rubber, the band, from Philadelphia consists of Andrew Loper (Singer/Co-Writer) & John Della Franco (Producer/Co-Writer). This amiable duo is quickly gaining steam and streams.  They are playing in several local Philly venues drawing crowds with only 2 secured singles out. They say an EP is coming soon. “Contol” snapped and popped into my finely tuning auditory system. The level of sophisticated twists in this melodious song about contemporary angst is right on point. The aspect of pretending to be in control anchors this self admittedly personal tr
