Party Until You're AWOL

Aaron Bruno’s solo project AWOLNATION is have a bash, and the party is bound to be a blast. Here's the rundown.

It's FREE. Yeah that's right, now onto the juice.

On the menu you have AWOLNATION performing at the Santos Party House, Tuesday, November 30th. There will be a guest DJ, Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, and Fabrizio Moretti of The Strokes. Plus Pete Suzuki and Alex English will be there and the visuals will be done by CTRL.



You've heard them on the show, now you can party with them. I just don't think Aaron Bruno’s hands will be shooting any lightning...or maybe they will...

There will be complimentary cocktails from 9-11, so get there early and get ready for a late night out. Parties 21+, ID required. You should probably RSPV. This is the place to be on that night. City doesn't sleep and neither will you.

Really Awesome Interview from LA Music Blog by Kristin Houser

New York Artist Making the Right Moves

Tweet

Every so often when you head out to a club in the city, you will witness something rare, something beautiful.. a musical performance that blows you away. Not only do the performers look good on stage, they get the crowd (no matter how big) to move, and the sound (no matter how shitty the speaker system and mixer is) of the music is so genuine and well played that you could imagine how good it would sound being played in an arena.



Well Charlene Kaye pretty much sums that up. With the perfect amount of blues, rock, and jazz, Charlene and her band, The Brilliant Eyes, really stand out among the crowd. Every time I've seen her in concert it was a blast. Whether solo or with the band, Charlene brings everything she's got with her to the show.

Not only is she great on stage, but her media connected to the music is also totally awesome. By using a fabulous fundraising website she raised over four grand to pay for the filming of a music video. Here are the fruits of all their labor.



Charlene and the band have also bee perfoming for CMJ week right here in NYC. The first was Thursday, Oct 2, the Oven Fresh/Citizen Music Showcase @ Bar Matchless. You can still catch her tonight 7:30pm at Googie's Lounge (above the Living Room) 154 Ludlow St, NYC 21+, no cover for the Acoustic Showcase.

Not to mention if you're out in LA November 13th, check her out @ The Mint, playing a show with Darren Criss. Charlene is amazing, you should check out her tunes.

Artist Profile: KGenious

Always on the lookout for new budding artists, I come across many different genres and types of people. Sometimes I'll find the artist or band online, maybe on a poster, or perhaps they were mentioned in another article. This time around was a little different. A friend of mine told me to check out a local reggae artist from Brooklyn, KGenius. This man is one of the most down to earth people I've ever spoken to, and it is my pleasure to welcome him onto the show on March 19th.

This is his bio:

Kirk Gammon a.k.a. KGenius was born in Spanish Town, St. Catherine, Jamaica (West Indies). At the age of 2, KGenius’ mother migrated to the US leaving him with his father and older brother. Being the youngest of five children he was influenced by his sibling’s love of many different musical artists such as Bob Marley, Kenny Rogers, Third World, Maxi Priest, The Jackson 5 and Whitney Houston, which lead to his desire to write and perform music.

In his early teens KGenius traveled around Jamaica performing on hardcore dance-hall stages, developing his talents as a reggae artist and MC. Also mastering various dance styles, KGenius was impassioned by the combination of singing and dancing as an art form. The “We Are The World” album in the 1980s had a major impact on how KGenius viewed the music industry. He then realized just how much music artists could make a difference and the kind of contribution they can bring to people’s lives.


I'm Gonna Make It

At the age of 18 KGenius and his older brother migrated to the US where he was finally reunited with his mother and 3 sisters. At 19 KGenius linked up with rapper MC Eric (with international hits such as “The Beat is Technotronic”), and Manuela Kamosi a.k.a. Ya Kid K of Technotronic who recognized his talents. KGenius embarked on a Hemispheric tour with Ya Kid K across the US, Puerto Rico and Canada, as a backup dancer and opening act. KGenius is currently working on his album with Jahboyz Productions and Misha Davidson of Russboy Productions. KGenius’ unique writing style and infectious hooks will propel him to the next level. Coming from a hardcore background KGenius is ready to introduce his brand of music to a worldwide audience.

Hot Streak 39

Friday's show was awesome! Special guest host General Money came in the studios to lend a hand on Uncharted Waves. We spoke to him about his most recent moves in making his way to the top. The General talked about a lot of things including his new recordings in TNM studios, his hot new tracks 'Mission' and 'Watch It', the Myspace hitting over one million views, his energy drink line General's Blast, and winning first place in the BTN MC Battle. It was a great time chilling with General Money on the show. We kept it interactive on the web cam and a white board while G Money's blackberry blew up, giving messages to the listeners. We also played a little hangman and gave away a copy of General Money's 'The UN' and Arj Barker's new solo album 'LYAO'. Download or stream the show, interview and the Moment of Zen, this show was chock full of goodness.

This is pretty intense death metal so enjoy! It will help pump you up!

Music Video Meng

There are a large handful of bands that lay down some money or gather the super friends to create an awesome music video. Here at Uncharted Waves, I like to recognize the efforts and gret work put forward from these bands.


This week we'll take a look at a local NY band, Lion of Ido.



We've seen them rock out live and even scored a CD from them, but since then, my eyes and ears have been wandering to the hundreds of other bands. Since the last time they were aired on the show, they have done so much. They tour, engage in community service and best of all, release their new music free!

Download the "Hard To Love" EP and enjoy!
