Recently leaving Pow Wow! to concentrate more on her other band Crazy Pills, fireball Amanda Burdon aka Tha Kitten - Lead Guitar, Vocals with Jim Wood and Edward Anthony are set to drop their pure unadulterated rock and roll debut record ‘Restless,’ this Saturday (7/27)
Conceived in 2010 as a means to bring forth soulful, guitar-driven music in homage to the R&B influenced rock of the 60s, the grit of the 70s and the punk of the 80s, they aim to sonically deliver something catchy, heartful and nostalgic that you've never heard before.


Release Show at Cake Shop with Desert Sharks, Fan Tan & Let’s be Loveless. It’s only $5 and doors are @ 8. RSVP here

There is a kickstarter going on until Aug 12, 2013 where you can get the extra goodies. 

Check them out, Serious Business on BTR [ep123] 24 Jun 2013

Featured song: "Break It Down" /// Crazy Pills' debut album, Restless, is scheduled for release this July. They've launched a new Kickstarter campaign to help with the release: http://kck.st/12J51lg /// Crazy Pills on Tumblr: http://crazypillsband.tumblr.com /// Facebook: http://facebook.com/123crazypills /// Twitter: @crazypillsband

The Woodwards Announce Album Release Date, Share New Bluesy Single DL

Stevie Guy/Peter Schuyff

The Woodwards announce 21st of October as the release date for the new album titled… 'The Woodwards II' and share another tasty new free single 'The Wood' if you missed the first one back in July, click here

Peter Schuyff  makes Urban, Folk Noir, which is both dark and funny – songs from a man who has seen everything.

He has some amazing stories to tell… Many from his times living as an artist in the Chelsea Hotel where he counted Andy Warhol (he even did Peter's portrait) and Keith Haring as friends. He was a painter/art at this stage with the likes of Dennis Hopper collecting his work.

The focus has now switched to making music, with comparisons made to Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits - songs are the painting he has always wanted to make.

Outside Animals - Black Room

Colin Orthmann on Vocals and Guitar, Benny Macias on Drums, Mark Peters on Bass 

and Pete Coro on Lead Guitar

I'm digging everything about LA rockers Outside Animals, the snazzy outfits, the humorous bio, the fact that they're big fans of CxCW '13 alumni Boxed Wine and especially the catchy indie rock tunes. Outside Animals has been building a loyal fanbase and crafting their songs for almost a year now. Having released two singles, “Adrian” and “Song 12″ on July 13th they release their debut EP 'Black Room'  

Loud swashbuckling guitar riffs, fervent vocals, great melodies and steadfast danceable beats, their debut marks them as an LA band to watch.

Grifters & Shills - Trainwreck Junkyard

Rebecca Ferguson: Lead Vocals

John Stoll: Guitar, Banjo, Mandolin, Harmonica, Backing Vocals, Percussion

Grifters & Shills Trainwreck Junkyard EP features Rebecca's enchanting twang and tight harmonies with John over the impressive strings of John's multi-instrumentation create a feel good porch stomper sound as warm and filling as a plate of mashed taters and gravy. 

Perpetually touring the Southeast since 2010 and touring nationally once a year, they’ve released two albums, both independently as Westbound, ‘Blackjack Road’ and ‘Now & Then’ now using the moniker Grifters & Shills "Trainwreck Junkyard" was released July 19th, a 5 song EP preview of the full length album that will be released in 2014. 

These songs are all recently written, and are all true to the lives of Rebecca and John.
