ok, I want to speak out about something, as a really intense fangirl of music I noticed that my own local music scene is lacking some much needed modesty. what I mean by that is not that I believe each and every artist should be humbled to their core and walk around like " oh really thank you BLAHBLAHBLAH you are too kind" no. that's annoying , but everything feels so fake, and i'm not trying to chang
the world here, but we could all use being a little more real when we're outside in this big world of new music , just fucking let yourself be, I promise it's gonna be a whole lot more fun for you and everyone around you. also have funnnnnnnnn. each of us has their own way to enjoy a concert but stop thinking about wether or not you look dumb cause then you will, who the fuck cares anyway when it's your jam and you're in the moment? jump around , show your appreciation fucking LA DI DA you know what i'm saying soooo... I'm gonna recommend some great local artists I am into let's give it for the locals <3
HotBox. I got to watch this band live in a show in the middle of the street, the cops called it a night in the middle of their set if I recall correctly, I remember listening to them and not really understanding where I am because I never got to hear anything like it , not in this decade anyway, right after the show I got their CD from one of the band members. they put on a hell of a show
Rap guillotine
Vanessa Ondine She is like a dark fairy, a temptress, a witch casting her hex , her voice kills me. I think I found her online just wandering around the youtube universe . in general i'm getting major Amy Lee vibes. in this one i'm also hearing some Alanis Morissette imprints and holy shit how can I say no to you
So Fragile
Dolly's Circus Truly the first band I saw live when I was a teen just learning about my musical taste, still my favourite local band to this day, pure heart and emotions , none of that fake shit, their songs are raw , sometimes dark ballads, other times kicking you in the guts and seriously I never find myself still in their concerts, always make me wanna move, so I thought I'd give you a taste,one of my faves by them
Nobody Likes You
Marina Maximilian Blumin Already sounds like the name of a star, well she is . so groovy, multilingual, sophisticated, jazzy, refreshing and fucking charismatic. I'm gonna show you what magic is in this next music video.
My Boy. feat APE
Ninet Tayeb. This list would not make any sense without you. other than being totally impresive in every way , which is her amazing use of her voice like to its fullest potential, amazing lyrics that can move fucking mountains and a presence glow on stage that makes the sun jealous as fuck, she is also a fucking Icon to being yourself and prevailing , we all know society always expects stuff from us , and that entire thing magnifies when you're in the eye of the public and the media and those paparazzi assholes, but Ninet doesn't take shit from nobody and we should all take notes
Drowning
Moofie. I found out about Moofie by total mistake, at that time I was working in a food market, and this band did their sound check since they were to perform that evening, they sounded very floaty spacey and the singer had this amazing voice and I remember thinking there are some local bands who try to get to that sound but the ones that I heard can never quite get there and maintain both the quality and make it believable. but this band is by definition prevailing . magic.
Young & Clueless
Scardust Not my usual choice of genre to listen to , but they are just so good at what they do, wether or not you enjoy metal I heavilly suggest you give this band a listen. their recently released album is such a masterpiece I almost wanna link all of it, but I won't . I'll just choose one song.
Arrowhead
Bar Vase Ok , I would have probably gone my entire life without ever knowing about this band and that would have been horrible, gladly my second ever freestyle rap show was with this band's frontwoman (who is also a great rapper) I recommend listening to "Mommy Look" it got stuck in my head for a long while after first listening to it. this band is not currently still happening as far as I know but worry not cause this lead singer is now a part of a trio called "PowerSnap"
ROOMY Album
Savannah Soft, beautiful and soothing voice, yet very colorful ideas , seems to be one of those artists that are both optimistic yet poetic and can resonate with people who enjoy all types of different genres.

Karma She I am so glad I met this artist, truly a life changing, thought provoking experience. I first got to learn about her existence in a new party line called the 'pretty ugly' the entire set the DJ was playing that night was dark magic and at a certain point in the night I heard this strange unfamilliar yet very exciting mix of hiphop/mainstream pop/trippy/pshychedelic somethingweirdaf and I was dancing with my friend all night when suddenly we both see someone beautiful singing on stage with 2 gorgeous dark fairy entities and a guy wearing heels and they are all dancing and it feels like a cult but one you have to join right away. I was mezmerized and I have been obsessing ever since.
More Ecstasy / Indie City
Band Animal This next band only has one song out there so this is sort of a Hey I know you exist, I like what you do sort of wake up call, please make more music not a lot of people here do what you do and do it right so I would like to hear more thank you
Meant To Be
Drop D a strong example of how I wish our local rap scene would look but the truth is I don't see a lot of female rap artists here, and it's a shame because we could use some female empowerment in this bitch. Give us more of this, Donna
Like A Fool
I would have done more, but I'm afraid that's enough for now. don't worry though, if you "didn't make the cut" (there is no cut) I'm working on this blog's youtube personality, it's gonna have playlists by the same name of the blog entries, and every time I'm hyped about something it goes on the list, one list or the other. so worry not , young artists <3 Much love to the art form . music is everything. preserve it and your integrity at all cost
