When our editor here at the New Nine told me to check out Mobley at Hangout Fest, I said “Mobley Who?” Mobley, an Austin-based one-man show, just came out with “Fresh Lies, Vol. I,” an enticing upbeat musical jolt of energy that catches you by the ears and has you dancing from start to finish. Mobley refers to “Fresh Lies, Vol. I” as a song cycle rather than an album, because it’s a part of a story project that he will continue for the rest of his career.
I was walking through Hangout Fest when I saw a man with sunglasses sitting on a bench wearing an “Artist” wristband. I went up to him and asked, “Are you Bahamas?” He laughed, and replied: “No, I wish.” It turns out this man was Hunter Porter, lead guitarist for Pacific Dub. He invited me to watch their set, and I’m so happy I did.
We fell in love with FLAVIA’s new song “Hateful” there’s this dark sound to it, but it’s undeniably catchy. It tackles the important issue of bullying, she’s not afraid to shy away from a tough subject. We chatted with her about finding her sound and sticking to her guts.
It would be difficult for me to find a band I’m more emotional about than KITTEN. When I first saw them at SXSW two years ago I became addicted.I’ve never seen a lead singer like Chloe Chaidez, who seems to sing so powerfully while also contorting her body on stage and maintaining a showmanship that the most iconic rock stars would envy. It was hypnotizing.
Ghita (pronounced like “Rita) was raised all over the world. She spent time in Spain, Morocco, and Switzerland and that multi-cultural upbringing comes through in her music. Her song “Brand New” features her effortless voice over an intricate pop sound. We talk to her about her new music and what has been inspiring her lately.
Just days before they embark on their first ever tour with The New Nine favorite Jake Miller, we talk to Toronto electro-pop trio, NEW CITY. With their previous two releases “Coachella” and “Dirty Secrets” surpassing the 1 Million streams mark quickly last year, NEW CITY is hitting the summer hard with “Getting Closer”. Be on the lookout for these guys, this is just the beginning.
To be honest, nowadays there are far things that surprise me as far as band names and spellings go. So when I came across the debut track from the Toronto-based indie-pop band named Cherry Pools, they had my attention. I’m a sucker for consistent branding, sound, and overall vibe, and Cherry Pools checked everything off on my list. I got to speak with lead singer Martin Broda, as the band are currently in Canada playing some shows fresh off their spring tour with PVRIS.
Camille Trust has so much energy and her new EP No Other Way encompasses that lust for life and brightness. We talked to her about her inspirations and some of the challenges she’s faced in her career.
Singer/songwriter Alex Stern started as a new twitter follower but she’s now turned into a friend and favorite artist. We’ve talked about music, life and recently, crushes. Her latest single, “Think About You” is about that feeling when you can’t get a certain someone out of your head. Alex is so open with everything to me and I couldn’t wait to hear the inspiration behind the single.
Slow Magic is a bit of a mystery, he wears a multicolored animal mask during his show and keeps pretty quiet about his life but he delivers a crazy performance and makes the most infectious music.
