New Videos: Astronautalis – Live at The High Noon Saloon

Joe Ramos — Sat, 07 Jan 2012 03:13:49 +0000

One of the most impressive artists on my radar over the last year is Astronautalis, a wordsmith of the highest caliber that I first caught wind of at SXSW 2011 in Austin. His unique blend of well crafted lyrics and melodies, Tom Waits-like grit, real Hip Hop sensibility and a damn good backing band put [....]

Here’s another great song from Madison based singer-songwriter Katie Scullin, who I filmed performing in her home with her sometimes co-performer Lenti Amanda. This one’s called “Set Me Ablaze”. It’s a driving fast-paced tune that’s just begging for a full arrangement.

Hopefully we’ll see that happen at some point soon, Katie’s talent and skill set [....]

New Video: The American Dead – Broken Teeth Blues

Joe Ramos — Wed, 28 Dec 2011 05:08:17 +0000

The American Dead are an Alt-Country band from Madison, WI with plenty of whiskey soaked twang and punk-tinged style. Their songs are a ton of fun and they consistently put on a hell of a show.

Lots of chatter regarding now defunct band The Nod and former front-man Brett Newski as of late. But I have a lot to share. Brett requested this one personally, so I am happy to post it.

This live version of “The States” comes from a DVD I created for The Nod at their Final show [....]
