The Head and The Heart have just released their first LP. They are building some great steam, KEXP summer series concert, touring with Fences, playing at some of the best venues up here in Seatown. Proud to see quality tunes coming out of Seatown. Distinct 3 part harmonies, old classic melody lines, with a back bone of percussive playing from the drums through the piano & guitar contributions. They are the liveliest shows you can go to, you won’t be able to resist clapping and stopping your feet with them. Hear more and see if they are coming to your town on their fall tour HERE

(Their Self titled release)

I got to see these chaps play live up in Seattle last year. Had a blast and they rocked it true. They just released this trailer as a teaser for their first official full length record coming out Aug. 27. If you are in LA on that date, show up at Spaceland for their release show. If you are down with Delta Spirit & Dawes, you’ll deff. like these kids. Listen to more HERE

This is brilliant. I’ve been seeing a lot more companies going the route of you having a say in the colors/styles you want in their products. Puma & Keds have been on it for a while and now seeing TIMEX getting in on it stokes me out. Make your own HERE

This is the one I made:

Portland’s Stumptown Coffee has just issued these sweet jars with a special blend called “Hair Bender”. The blend consists of beans from Latin America, East Africa and Indonesia. The flavors sound amazing as well : Caramel, milk chocolate, sweet citrus and soft floral notes. UM…Yes please! Buy it while its around HERE

Apparently Stumptown has an Grand Cru blend too! Holla! We should do a collab for sure. If you want to try this flavor out get it HERE

If you like The Kinks & The Zombies, then you’ll most likely be into the newly formed The Young Veins. This is my current favorite of theirs “change” captured live. Some vintage guitar sounds, tight 3 part harmonies, and nice change ups. Have a listen and get to know em more HERE

I’ve driven past these countless wind fans several times. I’ve always wanted to stop by and take some snaps. Jus found these by Leigh Miller. I love seeing the scenery with the engaged couple blending in and around it. See more of her work HERE
