Koo Koo Kanga Roo’s Dance Music Happily Confuses Everybody (video)

Described as both “the Beastie Boys meets Sesame Street” and an “interactive dance party duo,” Bryan and Neil create musical performance art for fans of artists like Canned Hamm, JP Incorporated and Neil Hamburger. It can be debated whether Koo Koo Kanga Roo makes non-offensive kids music that adults can get behind (a la “Yo Gabba Gabba”)....

Howi Spangler of Ballyhoo: Fun and Chill Like Going to the Beach (video)

Keith Girard
Ballyhoo!, the Maryland-based quartet, plays upbeat yet laid-back rock, which ought to appeal to fans of Sublime, Pepper and Jimmy Buffett. Absolutely not the kind of music I tend to gravitate towards. But after checking out their latest album, 2013’s Pineapple Grenade on Spotify, I was very drawn to the one-two punch of “She Wants To Destroy Me” and “Battle Cry.” They were listed on MTV’s “Top 100 Bands to Watch.” ...

Winchester
When I heard that one of my favorite artists, Grammy-nominated Italian blues-rock singer Zucchero, had released a new album called La Sesion Cubana, produced by Don Was no less, I knew it was going to be a terrific project.
