SXSW 2014 Band Highlight: Big Phony

Round two! Here I'm going to talk about singer-songwriter extraordinaire, Big Phony aka: Bobby Choi.

New Video: Love X Stereo - Fly Over (Live @ Union Studio)

One of the artists I'm lucky enough to be seeing at SXSW next month just released a new live studio video for their toe-tapping track Fly Over. You should go check it out:

MV: Idiotape - Wasted

I love Idiotape. And I was excited to see they had a new video out last night!




It's doubles as a promotional video for Fred Perry Korea, which you can see in his shoes, lol. But I notice shoes ANYWAY so I didn't feel like I was just watching a creative commercial.

The director of the video is Jo Beom-Jin, and stars Kang Tae-Won.

Whatcha think? :)

K-RoK Song of the Day: Ban He-Sang - Dolls For Sale

While perusing recent releases I found this little gem.

Indie Spotlight: Friendz.net

A friend of mine recently turned me on to a group of friends who make videos in their own little studio. They make cover videos and some original songs too. The music is very folksy and simple, but they all have clear voices that please my tired ears after too much K-Pop. And as I was getting ready to write this, one of the members released a single and a music video . There isn't a whole lot of information about them in general, but I like their music videos a lot.

Korean Music Awards Best "Pop" Song Nominees

To be honest I don't think "pop" describes these artists best, but it is what the category translates to so I guess that's what I'll stick with. Sorry I didn't get the rest of the categories up last night - I started with the idea late and had to head to bed. Here goes:

Korean Music Awards Best Modern Rock Song Nominees

Another nice category. I think I would call it "Indie" versus "Modern Rock" but whatever.
