Monthly Archive for February, 2009
After stepping out of the performing spotlight in January to record a new album, NeverShoutNever kicked off his headlining tour in Evansville, Indiana Feb 26th. The Let’s Get Happy Tour, will be taking NSN to over 20 locations around the country between now and March 15th. Moreover, the tour is sponsored by Hot Topic, which is a rarity for independant artists!
That’s not all! NSN will also begin touring in the spring with The Bamboozle Roadshow 2009 alongside acts such as We the Kings, Forever the Sickest Kids, and The Cab.
You’ll be able to pick up NSN’s latest single, HAPPY, March 3rd in the iTunes Music store. The full release of his album is slated for Early May. Still want more? Check out our exclusive behind the scenes feature of his music video!
When it comes to winning awards on OurStage, not many people can beat Shosha Capps (current count is 18!). Check out this weeks Download of the week, Honeybee, for FREE from one of the best artists on OurStage!
Starting at an early age, Shosha traveled quite a bit and is currently studying in Northern California to receive her Masters in International Agricultural Development and Community Development.
“I want to work at making sustainably produced food available and affordable to more people in and around South Carolina(where I’m from) when I graduate,”
Shosha said.
Recently, Shosha has been performing with a new band Color of Love. They just released their first album “Camphor Songs.” Shosha replaced a previous singer in the band, and she is very excited about the new project!
Shosha has participated in many different competitions on OurStage from Accoustic to Experimental to NoisePop, and is a really well rounded artist that nearly everyone should enjoy. Why not take a listen?
Today, the music industry is all about finding a unique sound, and the boys of 3OH!3 took that concept to the extreme. To get a sense of their hybrid style and immense buzz worthiness, just combine hip-hop with electro-pop, mix in a little indie rock, and maybe even a hint of Fall Out Boy or Panic at the Disco.
3OH!3 is known for their synchronized dance moves, vulgar references and clever puns on stage. The band’s eye-catching personality has afforded them opportunities including a major spot on the Warped Tour, a cover story in Alternative Press and a booking on the AP tour. The group also took the stage this year with mainstream pop artist, Katy Perry. Beyond their busy tour schedule, the music video for “Don’t Trust Me“ is getting air time on MTV2 and MTVU.
These guys are making a name for themselves in a huge way. Don’t miss out! Head on over to their fanclub, pick up the debut, full-length album Want, and catch them on tour. They’re sure to make you talk with your hips.
Mieka Pauley’s music is as soulful as it is honest, which is shown very well in her song “Secret” through passionate melody and a clear lyrical message. She takes this honesty to a new level with her song “Marked Men”, an a capella tune full of anger and passion (you can check out the performance video below). If you’ve been keeping up-to-date with her, you already know that she has been busy. You can take a look at some past OurStage blog posts (Mieka Pauley Feature post and CMJ Performance post) to catch up on all of her previous endeavors. These include, winning the Cosmo Magazine Star Launch contest and having a song featured on the ABC television show, Lipstick Jungle.
Mieka Pauley has quite a bit planned for the coming months. She is booked to play SXSW in Texas for the second year in a row, where her blues-influenced songs will be a great fit. It is her second year in a row playing this festival. In addition, she has also gained significant momentum on OurStage, with almost 15 months of placing in the Top 10 within one of our channel competitions. Not to mention that she has won this honor in many different channels, ranging from singer/songwriter to indie pop, displaying her diversity as an artist.
Get a taste of what this unique artist has to offer. Mieka just announced, as a gift to all of her current and soon-to-be fans, that she is offering her entire CD, Elijah Drop Your Gun, for free download from Amazon. After downloading the album, let her know what you think by heading over to her fanclub and dropping her a line.
