Crying Nut Review!

In my preparations to get as much exposure for the Korean bands coming to SXSW this year, I've begun a series of reviews over at YAM Magazine. First one up is for Crying Nut.

Unfamiliar with Crying Nut? I'll give you a little run down about them in a future post. 

K-Rock coming to Minneapolis!

I'm super excited to announce that the Korean rock movement is finally making it's way to my hometown! I've always said to anyone who would listen that Minneapolis is a great city for them to come and play. We have a very extensive music culture here and lots of clubs and venues to showcase the amazing talent coming from Korea.

SXSeoulWest - Music Time!

Hey there everybody! I'm steadfastly getting my preparations for the trip to Austin ready. I've been getting ideas and running with my head spinning for the last couple of weeks. I have officially gotten accomodations for my trip. And kind of an unorthodox way of traveling too - it's through an online BnB service. So I'm staying with a (hopefully!) nice older couple while I'm there. This adventure is turning into one big epic adventure as every day passes by!

SXSW 2014 OR BUST

Hi there! Long time no see!

Life has gotten away with me for awhile, and I've been neglecting my poor blog. But I have BIG NEWS. This girl, right here? She has officially been approved for press credentials for SXSW 2014~! And why-oh-why did I apply? BECAUSE YB IS COMING. I flipped a few lids over that news when they announced it. Since then I've been budgeting, plotting and prepping and I'm still working out details, but I'm gonna make it to see them no matter what!

I've got a full list of bands from the lovely land of Korea here:

News Roundup: Week of August 26th - September 1st

I'm going to try and start rounding up indie and rock news as I find it! Here is what I've gathered lately.

Random Tidbit

I was browsing the internet this evening and came across this little gem on 9GAG:

I don't really recognize the bands (I'm not super into hard core metal) but the fact that K-Rock made it to such a mainstream website got me excited. And, yes, I salute them too.

3 Artists One Song Release : #PeepShow

The 3 Artists One Song track has been released, and it's glorious. I couldn't have asked for a better song. I got goosebumps listening to the track. Yuna and Idiotape composed a wonderfully unique song, combined with her voice and Flow's lyrics the track was exceptionally exciting. But don't let me just blabber on, have a listen for yourselves.




It would be amazing if they put something out together again, but I'm afraid that this is a once in a lifetime song, so I'm just going to take it, and enjoy it.
