Modern Day Beatles...Sort of

I don't know how I stumbled upon listening to this band, but all I know is that they were one of the bands that I missed out in 2008. When Gatsby's American Dream went on a hiatus, the members of the band went on to pursue many side projects. One of them was Kirk Hoffman and Kyle O'Quin's side project called Kay Kay and His Weathered Underground. I don't know how to describe it, but according to an article from Alternative Press, it states that their music is what the Beatles would play today, but not something that the actually Beatles would play. Pretty interesting, huh? Check out their video below for this song " Hey Momma". Don't forget to pick up their self-titled while you are at it. I highly recommend it.

Positive Listening

I have always been a fan of The Starting Line which is why when I first heard of their decision to go on a hiatus, it really bummed me out. After seeing them live for the first time about a year or two ago, I was hoping to see them play live again. But it turns out that the members of The Starting Line were already involved in many side projects prior to their hiatus such as Tom Gryskiewicz's Cheap Seats, Mike Golla's The Traded Series and Matt Watts' (and Tom Gryskiewicz's) The Seventy Six. However, my favorite would have to be Kenny Vasoli's side project called Person L. His previous record Initial was one of my favorite of 2008 and his brand new record entitled The Positives will be out November 17, 2009. If you want to hear some songs for the new record, click here. After hearing one or two songs, all I can say is that Kenny Vasoli did an amazing job and I am very excited about the record. For your viewing pleasure here is one of the first raw footages of the band back in 2008. Hope you enjoy it. Also, the cover art for The Positives is featured below.
