How can you not love a band that names itself after a drumlin?
Madison's Bascom Hill, named after the hill on campus which once was the site of 1008Â Pink Flamingo's are on the brink of national success.
Originally from Kenosha, this band formed over 12 years ago, but cut their musical teeth here in Madison where they are now based. If you are a long time fan, you'd have recognized their songs on America's Top Model, Cheerleader nation, MTV's real World, Rock Rules and a whole bunch more.
They've got a new album out called Bascom Hill is out and available for download!
Check out this really cool video for their wong " My World ( Sucks to be You)"
As Triple M Music Director, I'm always on the lookout for cool new bands. So please meet Mumford & Sons.
Although the band hails from London , they sound a bit like the US jam/rootsy scene and are HUGE in Australia. You might have caught them on Letterman or Craig Ferguson.
I was also excited to hear that they will appear on a soon to be released album of Ray Davies and Kinks cover songs.
Check them out with this official video of Little Lion Man.
What a great way to end the year and decade... a new song and soon to be released album from the John Butler Trio.
I have loved this band from very first time I heard Zebra. He has been in to Studio M and totally captivated the crowd. He can make his guitar sound like a whole band, and I don't really understand how. All I know is, Wow!
Here's the official video for the new single, " One Way Road". You can download it now at CD Baby and the other usual download places.
I admit it. I am a vampire fan. But not Twilight-type vampires, the rock and roll type... Vampire Weekend.Â
I first heard of them a few year ago when their self-titled album was released. I mean, how can you NOT like a band with songs like " Blake's Got a New Face"Â , "A-Punk"Â " Cape Cod Kwasa Kwasa" and " Mansard Roof". I call this kind of music Geek Rock, in a very loving way. I inclulde them in that group with They Might Be Giants and Barenaked Ladies. There's nothing like a clever song.
It's been a while since we've heard from them, but the wait is almost over. Contra will be released January 12, but you can download the single now at itunes!
They can cram SO much music into a 2 and a half minute song. Here's the video for " Cousins". YAY! New Vampire Weekend music!
I'm a real sucker for a creative cover song. Anyone can take a song and perform it just like the original artist , but when you take a very familiar song that everyone knows and give it a total new slant, that's magical.
So we start with the song that everyone knows, even if they were not a fan of the Jackson Five...I Want You Back.
We now move to one of the coolest things I've heard in a while, a 6 person accapella group called Sonos. On their album Sonosings, they give us THIS version which you can find on itunes: Since they are not allowing embedding of the official video, please enjoy this taste here and then follow this link to the full video.
And we round out this trio with emerging artist Jer Coons, a young man with a very bright future!

One small detail I like about Bonnaroo ... the security people's shirts say "Safety" and "Here to help". They seem well-trained and they do the things security folk do ... but I like the emphasis on safety and that they're doing these things...
The Jack Johnson show last night was terrific. He'd been coming just to hang out with other musicians, maybe do a late night jam with friends in ALO. Very low-pro, as Jack said. That changed when Mumford had their medical emergency...
Still no mag. This is as close as my phone zoom can get. The dancers are sparkly. Bjork has a dress that looks like duct work from a dryer vent. The hat face thing looks like a cross between bubble wrap and pinhead from Hellraiser. Which could all be...
