RM64 Artists Record
We’re excited to give you a first-look at RM64 Artists Record, a project created in partnership with Propellerhead, makers of the highly-popular music software Reason. Now with the release of Record, their latest innovative recording product, the company has teamed up with RM 64 to launch a campaign promoting their new software with new talent.
The idea was simple; put together a group of hand-picked emerging artists, provide them with the necessary tools, including Propellerhead software and gear from sponsors KRK, Rode, Line 6 and Novation, and document their recording journey in pictures, videos and words. The campaign imparts a unique and raw perspective following the creative processes of a group of talented individuals from different locations, musical backgrounds, styles and aspirations. We look forward to bringing you special updates and exclusives along the way. You can follow all the action at www.rm64artistsrecord.com.

Scorpion Child @ Bruar Falls (Brooklyn) Tomorrow Night
Misty Mountain Hop
Lindsey Ray @ Hotel Cafe Tonight
With names perfect for the makings of a Zeppelin song, a new group of bands come off the heels of CMJ causing a bustle of label action. Leading the pack are Seattle’s Lonely Forest and Brooklyn’s Freelance Whales who both have majors and big indies prime to make a move… More pubco’s join the hunt for Texas’ Scorpion Child, whose brand of blues-riffed rock ala the aforementioned ZOSO gods has had labels taking aim as well. And a name you won’t forget and will be hearing a lot more of soon is Portland’s Baby Monster. The electronic-edged duo received recent nods in NME and just released their new single “Ultra Violence and Beethoven” on London’s rapidly rising 50 Bones label (Little Boots, We Have Band, Rogues)… Finally, tonight in L.A. catch Lindsey Ray, who you’ll recognize as the voice behind “Brand New Day,” the Tim Myers-penned tune used in the recent massive Target campaign. Lindsey performs tonight at the Hotel Café at 9:00PM.

Take Notice: Oh Darling
Oh Darling: New Album + Show Tomorrow Night @ Swinghouse
Nice Nice may be the title of Oh Darling’s previous full-length release, but it certainly must also be how the L.A. indie-pop quartet is feeling lately. With music recently featured on CW’s One Tree Hill, USA’s Royal Pains and a national Macy’s radio campaign, the band heads into the release of their new album with a lot of steam. Produced by Gregg Williams (Blitzen Trapper, Dandy Warhols) the self-titled release comes out next week (11/17) via their label Creative Works/Oh Darling Music. With all that it’s a wonder they still have time to maintain their vintage wardrobe and provide world records-esque useless trivia to fans.
Oh Darling will play a private show at Swinghouse in Hollywood tomorrow night (11/11) from 7:30-9:00PM. Expect to jockey for position at the complimentary wine bar with more than a few of your closest label friends and assorted industry denizens (fyi, we’ll be in back packin’ a box of Franzia).
