NEW MUSIC: REY PILA - ALEXANDER

Erin MaherComment

I've heard the rumors - Mexico City has one hell of a music scene!  I guess so, seeing as how it has produced a band like Rey Pila!  This is pretty much indie rock at its best!  I have had the great pleasure of working with this band, they played our SXSW showcase this year and absolutely killed it.  When Rey Pila took the little stage at our modest venue - they dazzled every soul in attendance, and my co-producer and I were freaking out backstage over how rad this band is.  I swooned - pretty hard actually - this band is delicious!  

"Alexander" is the latest single from this electronic pop rock outfit and you can pick it up via Cult Records HERE!

NEW VIDEO: WALKING SHAPES - HORSE

Erin MaherComment

“Horse”, the latest offering from New York’s Walking Shapes, is a beautifully poignant video charting the fate of two opposing factions in their quest for schoolyard survival.  Walking Shapes was formed by way of mountains, and through the tides of the city.  Their musical histories extend somewhere between the secret valleys of the Balkan Mountains, the theatre stages of Broadway, and sound chambers in the depths of SoHo.  Featuring Nathaniel Hoho on vocals and guitar; 
Jesse Kotansky on guitar, violin, vocals
; Jake Generalli on keys, vocals; 
Dan Krysa on bass and vocals; and 
Christopher Heinz on drums, Walking Shapes meld driving guitars, intricate arrangements and visually evocative songwriting into stunning audio refractions on New York’s sonic landscape.

NEW MUSIC: CITY CALM DOWN - SPEAK TO NO END

Erin MaherComment

Stop EVERYTHING!!  City Calm Down has a new single out, and you must stop what you're doing and listen to "Speak To No End" immediately.  I am not gonna lie - we here at the Beautiful Buzzz Disco office are OBSESSED with this band! For the past two years or so we have been busting out City Calm Down tracks on road trips, dance parties, disco house parties, the Disco Home Office, DJ sets, radio shows, and most places you can think of where music is playing.  We also like to drunk tweet at them, which we actually have not done in quite a while (sorry guys, we'll have to change that) , and every Australian band we come across, we ask them if they know City Calm Down (they usually do) - actually we ask every Australian we meet .... because that's how hard we nerd out over this band!  This new single is AMAZEBALLS - and this is why we love City Calm Down so much!  Love love love!!!
