HILLS PICK OF THE WEEK!

I have been meaning to showcase this band for awhile... Well, it just so happens that this band was featured Monday night during The Hills and I have been hearing lots of buzz about them.

My Hills pick for the week comes from a band out of the UK called The Duke Spirit. The Duke Spirit consists of Liela Moss, Luke B Ford, Dan Higgins, Toby Butler & Olly The Kid Betts. Their sound is like early grunge bands of the late '80s and early '90s such as the Pixies and Sonic Youth.

The Duke Spirit has found success in touring and much of their success has come from word of mouth. Their album Neptune is in stores everywhere and they are on tour now to support. The Duke Spirits hits Los Angeles on May 10th!

The Black Heart Procession @ The Troubadour!

The Black Heart Procession began in San Diego, CA circa 1997, when Pall Jenkins and Tobias Nathaniel put their other band Three Mile Pilot on an open-ended hiatus. While the Black Heart core members are Pall (vocals, guitar, synths, etc.) and Toby (piano, guitar, organ, etc.), you will often find Joe Plummer (drums) and Dimitri Dziensuwski (touring augmentation, moustache) and at times, other characters hiding under the BHP umbrella. They have a hauntingly beautiful sound and they are playing this Thursday, April 24th at the Troubadour. You should definitely check them out this week!
