EXCLUSIVE YAHOO PERFORMANCE & NEW VIDEO

Kerli is back with a new look, a new video and an exclusive performance for Yahoo: Who's Next? She looks a bit creepy in the beginning of her new video for "Love Is Dead", but don't be frightened, she morphs back to the Kerli we all know and love.

CORNFIELD BY THE REST STOP

Ingrid Michaelson and crew created this silly little video on a stop along her tour. It's funny!

Looks like those late night bus trips make you a little crazy...



Ingrid also wants you to be in her next video. Check out a comment she had posted on myspace.


Hey Guys,

Hope everyone is well. Please check this out, it means a lot to me and if you all participated, it would rock my world.

...xo Ingrid


The people spoke and we listened. Ingrid is releasing an ep around her BRAND NEW TRACK, "Be Ok" along with new recordings of songs not found anywhere but her live show...and all because you asked for it! To be included in a music video (and possibly more) please put the words "Be Ok" somewhere on your face and take a picture and send it to beok@ingridmichaelson. com.

The best part is that some of the proceeds of The Be Ok EP will go to SU2C, a new initiative to treat and eradicate all kinds of cancer. Stay tuned for more details. And spread the word.

IN THE SPIRIT

GET TO KNOW...

Sick Of Sarah began in Minneapolis, MN in April 2005 as an all-female band with catchy hooks, unique lyrics and thoughtful, well-crafted music. The band displays talent, passion, and an ever-present sense of humor that shapes many of their songs. They combine sympathetic acoustic moments with driving electric rock, often in the same song.

With influences ranging from John Fogerty to Joan Jett, Sleater-Kinney to Vanessa Carlton, Sick Of Sarah brings an energy and blended alternative pop-rock style that has listeners singing along after the first chorus.




There is no one named Sarah in the band. The namesake for the band is in fact a Sarah--the lead singer's former roommate who stated one day she was just plain sick of her own name. It caught the girls'ears and then caught on. Abisha Uhi (Lead Vocals), Katie Murphy (Lead Guitarist/Back-Up Vocalist), Jessie Farmer (Lead & Rhythm Guitar/Back-Up Vocals), Brooke Svanes (Drummer) and Jamie Holm (Bass & Back-Up) make up this all female five piece.

Sick of Sarah will be releasing their debut album on August 12th!

NEW CALEXICO

It's new music Tuesday, yet we still have until September 9th for the release of their upcoming album. However, I do have a little treat for you Calexico fans. A new song has been sent my way to hold us over for the next few months.

Click here ---> http://www.touchandgorecords.com/calexicostream/Two_Silver_Trees.mp3>

The song "Two Silver Trees" is fairly indicative of what’s to come from Calexico throughout the whole of their new full-length album Carried To Dust from the scene-setting, warmly reposed intro to the catchy, more powerfully constructed chorus.

“Two Silver Trees” is a collaboration of sounds and ideas and what results of the unique parts is one cohesive, familiar feel.

Also, check out the second video clip trailer for the upcoming album!

NEW MUSIC TUESDAY!

Even though I already purchased a copy of their debut album off iTunes, I'm still stoked to be able to pick myself up a hard copy! The day has finally arrived - Low vs. Diamond's DEBUT album is in stores TODAY!

I have seen these boys a few times live and their CD is in my player at least once a week. I can't get enough of them, and I'm super excited to be hitting their CD RELEASE PARTY on August, 13th at the Troubadour in L.A.

Head to BEST BUY, Target or even Amazon and get your ASS a copy now! I actually have a widget or a gidget (whatever it's called) on the side of my blog, so you can click on it and purchase it directly from there. NOW YOU HAVE NO EXCUSES!!
