SUPERBIRD  is set for takeoff. They aren't going to land anytime soon. Their latest offering "Super Superior" dropped today. Early this Summer they gleefully released the super delicious tunes "Cola Bottle Fizz" along with "Kiss Chasing Stars". Both had accompanying videos which were a breath of fresh color drenched air. Joe, Alex, and Freddy (see my Superbird Interview article) put a true dazzling show each time they take a stage or even bop in front of the camera for one of their infamous Vlogs. (subscribe to their channel). They possess some rather bold fashion choices which completely work for these bearded boys from London. They look simply marvelous in sequins, fuchsia and paisley shirts complete with unsubtle aviators. Joe sings with intense bravado on this track that I do believe is the break out track that will fully put them on the musical maze map. The double S song packs full boogie righteousness into 2 mins and 59 seconds.  ...

Hawk Tubley harnesses an old soul feel. I wanted to get this out on a Thursday. It is my first of my TBT songs segment.  In this fast paced world of electronics, gadgets, snap chats and hackers, this song heals the contemporary psychological wounds. I do feel we are all in a "Danger Zone".  Where are we going? Well to figure that out, let's go back. Time to set "your inner monkey free".  George Mostoller is the mastermind of Hawk Tubley. The name came to him one morning pre caffeine. he questioned why he chose the name. I think it works because it is unique sticks with you. You know alight then. George crafts masterful lyrics that just "bounce like a rubber ball".  I enjoy the creative word play. He plays his acoustic guitar with a shifty hand. It works. His keyboard player, Dave Cope (leader of the Sass),lends his multi instrumental prowess to the Ozymandians.  He is seen here playing keys then shifting to guitar. "Dirty streets/dirty min...

New Orlean's spawns some of the best music. We all know that. I am here to introduce you to one of the city's favorite bands.  Flow Tribe is amped and ready to get loose with y'all. I always like a when a band introduces the members right off the bat. So allow us to introduce you to New Orleans' own FLOW TRIBE. This 6 piece tribe of musical maniacs (in the best possible way) combine a mix of Dr. John funkalishness with some Beastie Boy bravado. It works! My girl, Meredith writes:  Created from a city of sizzling energy, amazing color, and Smoky back rooms- Flow Tribe has stuck to its bluesy roots while adding their own funky flair.  It took the rhythm Section all of ten seconds to have me up and moving to "Walk Like an Animal". I had to refrain myself from hitting repeat and went to the next song: "Hungry For You", instead. Both songs come with a great for tapping beat, trumpet, guitar, and washboard solos combined with energeti...

"Rock 'n Roll is here to stay Come inside well it's okay And I'll shake you, ooh ooh ooh" Big Star Dave Cope and the Sass are shaking  it up.  This tribe of seasoned musical gypsies went deep to bring us this album that will delight, insight, and may make you shed salted tears for another era. But they are the NOW and WOW. Let me present to you one of the most real deal albums of 2019.   The first time I heard the "If Your Mama Only Knew" on WXPN. I tweeted at DJ Dan Reed. "Did I miss a long lost Big Star song". The response was something like this "No. It's Sass.Dave Cope." Well I did that Google thing   Mr. Dave Cope, singer songwriter located in Philadelphia, popped as the search winner I went straight to the source. We became Facebook compadres.  I told him girlfriend, Sarah, is way cool. (She sings on the record).  I kept listening to the song. It wouldn't leave my head in a good way. I  went on to write a ...

      “The suburbs may have raised us but the city keeps us alive!” - Jessica Komyati of Papi and the Smears.   First off the name.... boom. Also they are reviving some true garage grunge rock with and indie twist of lemon shaken not stirred. Drink it down.  This is my comment on their Facebook page . Papi and The Smears are on a mission. " Rock and Roll is dying.We want to give it a PULSE". This Ohio based band create music that combines of indie bliss, straight out of the garage rock and a sprinkling of the blues.  Papi is full on determined to give you a rocking Cleveland centric experience.  The members of the band with the best name out there include Jessica Komyati on lead vocals and guitar, John Jasunas on drums, Devin Ratajczak on bass and harmony vocals. Having three in a band can be a challenge, but these newcomers who have been jamming quietly are poised to make a splash in the pool of  contemporary musi...
