Cherry Glazerr was born in 2012 when high school student and singer/songwriter Clementine Creevy began recording songs in her bedroom. She called herself Clembutt. Clementine formed a gang including Hannah Uribe on drums and vocalist Sophia Muller to add life to her songs. After adding Sean Redman on bass, the fantastic four made a demo tape that caught the ear of Burger Records. They called themselves Cherry Glazerr!!
The band released the 9 song cassette "Papa Cremp" in early 2013. They continued playing many shows including 2013's Burgerama! After that festival they gained lots of fans. One of those fans was Heidi Slimane (high fashion designer) Heidi Slimane invited the band to Paris to play a show. Their song "Trick or Treat Dance Floor" was used in the company's ad campaign.
Cherry Glazerr recorded their first album "Haxel Princess", for Burger. Sophia Muller left the band before the albums release in January of 2014. They continued touring without her. In October I was going to see them at Beach Goth, but just a week before the drummer Hannah also left the band. I was pretty bummed I didn't get to see them.
Last week Cherry Glazerr announced 2 new band mates. Drummer Tabor Allen and synth/ guitarist Sasami Ashworth. They will be going on tour this year with Best Coast and Wavves! I couldn't be more thrilled. On March 3rd Cherry Glazerr will be playing in LA at The Fonda Theatre. I can't wait to buy my ticket!

Devendra Banhart is a Venezuelan/ American singer songwriter and visual artist. Devendra was born in Houston, Texas, and was raised by his mother in Venezuela. He moved to California as a teenager to go to the San Francisco Art Institution in 1998. Devendra dropped out to preform in Europe, San Francisco and Los Angeles.
While he was in Los Angeles and San Francisco he got picked up by Young Gods Records and released a compiled album of his tracks. In 2002 he recorded two other albums and an EP. This included Rejoicing in the Hands, Niño Rojo and The Black Babies. The releases have a beautiful acoustic sound. In 2005 Devendra switched to XL Recordings and came out with "Cripple Crow" which was recorded in New York and had a more complex sound. He recorded his second album for the label "Smokey Rolls Down Thunder Canyon" at his home studio in Topanga, California. This album is my personal favorite. Devendras music is so next level.
Banhart has preformed at huge music venues such as the Hollywood Bowl, Bonnaroo and Coachella. In 2009 he came out with the "What Will We Be". His music gives you a feeling in your heart words can't physically describe. In between 2009 and 2013 Banhart toured, skateboarded, broke his leg and pursued in his artwork. In 2013 he Devendra released the beautiful album "Mala".
Honestly his music never gets old to me. I could be just lying on the floor for hours listening to him and never skip one song. I would absolutely love to be able to see him live or to visit his artwork one day. A girl can dream right?!

The Aquadolls is a psychedelic surf punk band formed in Los Angeles CA in 2012. They were formed by lead guitarist and singer Melissa Brooks.
Teaming up with guitarist Ryan Frailich are bassist Josh Crawford and Colin Moore on drums. This dream team creates the best do wop tunes in Orange County. They released an EP in the beginning of 2012 "We are Free". This track has all teens swooning over Mel's vocals. In 2013 The Aquadolls released their first full length album "Stoaked on You". This album won the hearts of the folks over at the hip West Coast label Burger Records. The band was influenced by the following artists like The Beach Boys, Brenda Lee, Girls and so on...
This type of music is every emotion of a teenager. It makes you want to fall in love or go on a rampage and hit car windows with a crowbar.
The Aquadolls are going to be playing at the Observatory in January and I'm planning on buying my ticket real soon!!
