It’s been a full week since the Birthday Bonanza Mess, and I’ve been in an odd, yet quite satisfying daze since. The show was absolutely amazing. We had such a great mix of different artists that it simply brought everything together.

Tasha Cyr’s voice is particularly delicate, charming, soo soul sad and careful, thoughtful, dropping soft things in her phrasing. (Tasha is recording with the Darling [...]

The Demaes are playing right now, after showing their new video for the first time (hopefully it will find it’s way on here soon, it’s ADORABLE!). Oh man, this band is really fun.
