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 - "Turbulence" - Archpalatine

"Turbulence"  Starts with his utilizing his voice as an instrument along with his nimble fingers taking care of the keys. The low rush of background singers whispering “Palatine” sneaks in as he continues to resonate. As his  voice hits its crescendo the pop of the drums whips in a surprise. The deft use of the kit rushes in, quick and edgy.   The song rolls on with dramatic flair while his voice ascends "We will take the chance to fly away" He plays his vocals again as he sings Taaaturbulence then the gust of the drum takes over like a strong supporting character. A song rich in drama and operatic elements, comparisons to Queen are fair. And again the drumming continues stellar.  Listening to this song is like being enveloped in a short play. I can imagine the majestic costumes and sweeping set design. Also I see color when I listen to “Turbulence”; scarlet, rich gold and shades of charcoal much like the picture I just posted. Interestingly I...

The Gang is all here. STELLA RUZE writtten by Violet Rosette Stella Ruze? More like Stella Rulez! Stella Ruze was birthed in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia in 2014 and is continuing to grow.

According to the band, “Our new sound emboldens our message t...

Other Music Documentary

Other Music Documentary Other Music, famously located on 4th Street with a view of Tower Records before it folded,was a destination stop for me. The small shop was neatly packed & stacked with the latest & the greatest vinyl records & CDs. This thoughtful, well crafted documentary truly depicts what it was like to be a guest at Other Music. Puloma Basu & Richard Hatch - Miller  clearly took their time to interview the owners, past staff members & the artists who got their start at OM.   Walking into OM always gave me a happy tingle. Watching this documentary evokes a similar feeling. It made me smile as if I was there pawing through the Big Star Category, the Latin flavored music & of course the latest releases. The scene with a composer clutching his hand written review card was priceless. Hearing one of the Berringer brother's bliss out about having a card at OM was a delight. He gushed "That meant the National was a 'real' ban...
