Showing you some BODY LANGUAGE

Happy New Year everyone...I hope everyone had an amazing time exploring music with me in 2011. Here we are in 2012, and  I hope to bring you lots more.

While on our merry way up to seattle to see The Knux (previous blog post about that one...archive and read up peeps) my bff and partner in crime, Del Brown, skips out with a fun mixed cd to keep us company on our mini road trip. It included my new band obsession BODY LANGUAGE. Mysterious synth pop and  groovetastic bursts of energy fuel this bands latest album, "Social Studies." The foursome, Matthew Young, Angelica Bass, Grant Wheeler, Ian Chang, and Computer (MAGIC,) reside in Brooklyn, NY and have been releasing EPs since 2009. Recently lending their skillz to some remixes on the Passion Pit album,(also previously blogged about,) "Chunk of Change." They have been touring with Zero 7 and Sia. Burning up dance floors while caressing your eardrums, Body Language lulls you into the dance like a moth to a flame. I hope you enjoy this stylistic grooving foursome BODY LANGUAGE. These guys will definately be going in the mix at the next DJ session!!!!

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"
