Flea Marketeers / Honey Locust

I assume you’re like me and you’re continuously growing your library of local music worth investigating. Here’s a few more selections to consider…

Typically if you told me about a new band that was mostly acoustic instruments and heavily influenced by the likes of “gypsy jazz, western swing, rock, bluegrass, pop” I’d probably politely tell you I’d check it out but, honestly, not do a whole lot about it. However, in the case of the Flea Marketeers I’d be wrong in that decision. From “High Society” down to “Lullaby” they manage to keep it interesting. Plus, as an added bonus, you can always imagine yourself like this dancing about to the offerings.

I know I’ve mentioned them before but the entire EP from Honey Locust is now available for your procurement should you see fit to do such a thing. Hopefully, like myself, you enjoy their dulcet tones.

Makeup and Vanity Set – A Glowing Light, A Promise

Remember when I mentioned that Makeup and Vanity Set would be releasing the soundtrack to the film 88:88? Well, from what I’m told, the plan is for the album to come out on VHS. The above video serves as teaser for this release. I have many mixed thoughts on releasing an album in such a ridiculous format but the teaser clip makes me feel like it’s kind of the most appropriate artist to pull it off.
