Punk rock hip hop dont stop!

Helloooo music lovers! Have i got a tasty treat for you. Punk rock music with a dash of swag. Kentrell "Krispy" Lindsey and Alvin "Joey" Lindsey, brothers based in New Orleans, Louisiana, are The Knux. They are known for amazing and intense live shows, as well as outrageously funny and real interviews.
These two punk rock savants sing, rap and produce. Starting off writing beats and lyrics they hooked up with a local producer and hit the studio. Originally called The Knuckle Heads, the duo moved to LA after being displaced from their home due to Hurricane Katrina.
They caught a break opening up for Common on his "Finding Futures Tour." Crowds didn't know how to take this beautiful anomally. Despite all of that, the duo was signed to Interscope and were featured on "Entourage" as well as "Harold and Kumar Escape from Guantanomo Bay." Releasing "Remind Me in 3 Days" in 2008 and then touring extensively in 2009. They hit the studio in 2010 to create "Eraser" -  that finally hit heads in 2011. Del Brown and I had the immense pleasure of meeting this wildly fun, insightful, and gorgeous duo, and a night of laughs, crushes, Dave Chapelle impressions, music appreciation, and jacket pin exchanges ensued.

I hope you enjoy one of my favorite tracks from The Knux....this one is called "Shes So Up"

Time for the Weekend in the 253

Don't know about anyone else, but it's been a long week! The Weekly Volcano has put together today's list of 5 Things to Do, and I've found the solution for my overworked brain. Take a look. Happy Weekend!

FRIDAY, DEC. 16, 2011 >>>

1. You can hate on the holidays all you want, but there's no denying they bring a wealth of artful yearly traditions. Tacoma Symphony Chorus' take on "Messiah" in St. Charles Borromeo Church fits this bill. As pre-event hype of tonight's event acknowledges, "Chorus Director Geoffrey Boers always brings a fresh take to Handel's beloved work," and there's no reason to expect this year to be any different. Four vocal soloists - soprano Denise Lees, mezzo-soprano Melissa Plagemann, tenor James Brown and Benjamin Harris - will join Tacoma Symphony Chorus and Orchestra, creating an event that's almost to put the whole family in the spirit. Find more info here.

2. Check out the 'Tis The Season Holiday Benefit Show this afternoon at the Mandolin Café in Tacoma, featuring an awesome collection of musical talent: James Coates, Gina Belliveau, Kurt Lindsay, Nick Sandy, Denny Foreman and Megan Biegalski. The fun is all ages and kicks off at 6 p.m.

3. Have you been to the Crystal Saloon in Enumclaw yet? To be honest, neither have we. But, if anything is going to intrigue us into going it might be DJ Dirty White, who - according to hype - will be spinning rock, hip-hop, top 40 and dance hits all night long. We repeat: DJ Dirty White is in Enumclaw tonight at the Crystal Saloon. That is all.

4. It's a good night for comedy in Tacoma as comedian Andy Woodhull is at the Tacoma Comedy Club and Harold Gomez is at the Grit City Comedy Club.

5. Throw up your devil horns and pound a few beers with I Defy tonight at Hell's Kitchen.

New music obsession....Calvin Harris is always Ready For The Weekend!

There is nothing better to me than club thumping stylistic disco that brings up visions of pulling out that amazing outfit, putting it on, and hitting the town with a ferocity that could scare panthers in the jungle! If there was a soundtrack to this vision, it would be Calvin Harris!
Born in Dumfries,Scotland, Harris was attracted to electronic music in his teens and began recording demos in his bedroom studio in 1999. Becoming a bit antisocial during the process of creating his dream, he got his first solid break in 2002 when Prima Facie Label released two of his tracks, "Da Bongos" and "Brighter Days". In 2006 Harris signed with EMI and Sony BMG after being discovered on Myspace. Harris' career is a flurry of soap opera like interactions with many top artists including Lady GaGa, Katy Perry and Kelis, but through everything Harris has managed to still produce, DJ, and create some of the most amazing music to hit the electronic scene in years.
So, I urge you to pop onto your spotify, MySpace, or Facebook and become acquainted with this amazingly fun, discotastic musical genius. I know you wont be disappointed!
Enjoy my favorite track "Merrymaking At My Place"

FRIENDS.....new NY band obsession

Like a little indie mixed in with your hip hop and a dash of sexy?? Then you will love new band obsession,  via my bff - thank you Del Brown. FRIENDS is a band from Brooklyn, NY. Some smooth, sassy lyrics from one of my favorite tracks, "Im His Girl" read: "If you see me walkin around with him I'm not just some girl he picked up, Im....his......girl." Following in the sultry indie rap styles of girls like Lykke ly and Kreyshawn, this band is headed-up by two up and coming style icons - Samantha Urbani and Lesley Hann.
Originally named Perpetual Crush, the two leading ladies have been friends since Second grade and only last spring got together after Urbani began recording some casual tracks on her computer. After an impromptu jam session FRIENDS was born. Check out the video and keep an eye out for a album. It's taking a while due to an intense bidding war for the bands EP. Hope you love it - I know I do!

I am falling in love with scarves. Not only are they adorable, but they keep your neck warm! I get bored with the standard ways to wear them though, so when I saw this step-by-step guide from whowhatwear.com on scarf tying, I literally squealed with delight.

There are five, very adorable, ways to wear a scarf. Here's the link for the guide: http://www.whowhatwear.com/website/slideshow-story/ways-to-style-1/
