<br />
On February 27, 2008 I started my music blog, simply because I wanted to write about music and share it with others. I named the blog <i><b><span style="color: magenta;">The Nightfly</span></b> </i>after one of my favorite albums and favorite albums covers of all time - more about that here:<br />
<br />
<a href="http://latenightdj.blogspot.dk/2008/02/nightfly_27.html">http://latenightdj.blogspot.dk/2008/02/nightfly_27.html</a><br />
<br />
And here:<br />

<br />
<br />
The first year I didn't post as much as I would have liked to. However, in the fall of 2009, I began posting on a regular basis, kicking off with an interview with Mozez on October 13. For some reason I wasn't yet posting music videos; that didn't happen until November of that year.<br />
<br />
Unfortunately, due to some music videos having been removed from YouTube (by YouTube or record labels or users) over the years, there are a few "blanks" here and there, i.e. videos that cannot be played. It's basically every music blogger's nightmare, but I long ago chose not to bother with these "dead videos" aka "blanks".<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;">Anyway, today, on the 10th Anniversary, I've decided now is the right time for me to stop blogging. </span></b>A total of 674 posts, a boatload of music videos, numerous interviews, and more fun that I could have possibly have imagined when I started out. But the day only has 24 hrs., and other writing projects are now taking up much of my spare time.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>The great thing is, <i>The Nightfly</i> music blog will still be on the World Wide Web - as long as Google (yep, they own Blogspot too) decide not to pull the plug.</b></span><br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b><br /></b></span>
Before I start bawling my eyes out, quite possibly ruining my PC keyboard with a river of tears and snot,<b><span style="color: magenta;"> I want to thank all of my lovely readers</span></b> - whether you just "tuned in" this year or ten years ago. If the music that I've blogged about has inspired, comforted, or awed even one person, my work was not in vain.<br />
<br />
Important note: I can see from the blog stats that <i>The Nightfly </i>readers "tune in" from all over the world which has been so incredibly gratifying to me. More about that here:<br />

<br />
<b><span style="color: magenta;">I also want to send happy thoughts to the many artists and bands that I have posted about</span></b>. Obviously, without anyone writing, recording and performing music, there would be zero to blog about.<br />
<br />
I'm going to sign off with something so feel-good, it's borderline criminal: the late, great gentle giant <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Israel Ka'ano'i Kamakawiwo'ole aka Braddah Iz (Brother Iz) </b></span>, in his native Hawaii, giving Judy Garland a serious run for the money with his stunning version of <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Somewhere Over the Rainbow"</span></b>. Doesn't really get much better than that.<br />

<br />
Her mother is a Danish native, her father is originally from the Solomon Islands. <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Annelie Karui Saemala </span></b>aka <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Karui </span></b>herself was born and raised in Herning, and currently works as a vocal teacher in Ringsted. This past Saturday on Danish network television, the 19-year-old singer was one of ten participants competing for the coveted honor of representing Denmark in the 63rd edition of the Eurovision Song Contest which will take place in Lisbon in May.<br />
<br />
Although she did not win, Karui gave the hands down most self-assured performance, completely owning the stage, and wowing everyone watching. The superb electronica-R&B gem <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Signals" </span></b>(co-written by the artist) showcased her formidable voice which effortlessly moves from silky smooth to powerhouse and back. The singer was expertly backed by a stellar three-piece band (Note: the names of the musicians were not available to the press.)<br />
<br />
In recent interviews the singer has stated that she loves her teaching job, but has also expressed great interest in pursuing a professional music career. There are only a few videos on YouTube, but no recorded material. Here's hoping that will change - and soon.<br />

<br />
It might seem like a bad joke to post a song entitled "Take Shelter", only a day after the now infamous false <i>'incoming missile'</i> alert was mistakenly and unforgivably sent to millions of cell phones in Hawaii on Saturday.<br />
<br />
Trust me, it's complete coincidence. But as I began blogging, it was impossible not to think of the terrified residents and tourists who had every reason to believe they might perish within minutes.<br />
<br />
What caused this massive screw up? During one of three routine daily shift-change drills, a Hawaii Emergency Management Agency employee "clicked the wrong thing on the computer", a spokesman stated [New York Times, Jan. 14, 2018].<br />
<br />
Oh, okay.<br />
<br />
Back to the music:<br />
<br />
Copenhagen-based duo <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Palace Winter </span></b>have just dropped <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">the single "Take Shelter" from their 11-track sophomore full-length 'Nowadays' which will be released May 4. </span></b><br />
<br />
Their acclaimed debut album 'Waiting for the World to Turn' came out in 2016, and while it was excellent, the upcoming collection of tunes promises to even better, if judging by "Take Shelter", a stunner of a song with haunting echoes of the Moody Blues and Crosby Stills & Nash.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Tour</span></b>: There are six gigs coming up March 17-21: one in Amsterdam, two in Brussels, and three in the UK. In addition, a show in Copenhagen has been scheduled for May 18. For live shows, Australian singer/guitarist <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Carl Coleman </span></b>and classically trained pianist/producer <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Caspar Hesselager</span></b> are joined by <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Jacob Haubjerg</span></b> (guitar) and <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Jens Bach </span></b>(drums).<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">No proper video yet</span></b>, but I will post it as soon as it's on YouTube.<br />

As always, it was pretty tough to pick only twelve music videos among the many fantastic ones I posted on <b><span style="color: #c27ba0;">The Nightfly</span></b> in 2017.<br />
<br />
But here they are: The Diamond Dozen, with a link to my original post below each video.<br />

<br />
Norwegian singer-songwriter <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Sigrid</span></b> previously recorded under her full name Sigrid<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> </span></b>Raabe. Now 21 and signed to Island, she has dropped the four-track EP 'Don't Kill My Vibe' - which includes an acoustic version of the stellar song <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Dynamite"</span></b> - as well as her newest release, the outstanding single <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Strangers"</span></b>.<br />
<br />
The quirky<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> video accompanying "Strangers"</span></b> <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">was created by </span></b>London-based director-photographer-writer <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Ivana Bobic</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">She flawlessly performed </span></b>"Strangers" and <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Dynamite" </span></b>at the excellently produced<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> Nobel Peace Prize Concert in Oslo</span></b> on December 11 hosted by British-Nigerian actor David Oyelowo. (Other performers included Lukas Graham, John Legend, Zara Larsson, as well as Matoma with guest vocalists Shy Martin, Adam Douglas and Becky Hill.) This year's prize was awarded to the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons aka ICAN, a global civil society of coalition of 468 - and counting - peace, human rights, environment, development and faith groups.<br />
<br />
Sigrid has <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">two dates coming up in January</span></b>: Debaser Strand in Stockholm on the 21st and Vega in Copenhagen on the 22nd. <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Between March 12 and 24 there will be seven shows in the the UK plus one in Dublin.</span></b> Additionally, <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">a gig at the OverOslo festival has already been scheduled for June 20.</span></b> <br />

<br />
When South Korean band <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">BTS</span></b> made their U.S. television debut at the American Music Awards on November 19 in Los Angeles they brought the house down, greatly aided by their loyal fans aka A.R.M.Y. Yet, until that day, many viewers in the States were likely not familiar with these seven young men from Seoul who brilliantly fuse K-pop with hip hop, boldly sing in Korean sprinkled with English, and deliver dance moves & vocals that make jaws drop and hearts beat faster.<br />
<br />
Since 2013, BTS (an acronym that translates to Bulletproof Boy Scouts, though they now also use the acronym Beyond the Stage) have released a handful of stellar singles, EPs, and albums, as well as numerous outstanding videos. In addition to writing their own music/lyrics, they also produce their records.<br />
<br />
The members whose ages range from 20 to 25 are:<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Jungkook </span></b>(singer/rapper/choreographer)<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>V</b></span> (singer)<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Jimin</span></b> (singer/choreographer)<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">RM</span></b> (rapper)<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">J-Hope</span></b> (rapper/choreographer)<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Suga</span></b> (rapper)<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Jin</span></b> (singer)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"DNA"</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Blood Sweat & Tears" </span></b>are my personal favorites, both musically and visually. The stunning <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">clips </span></b>were created by Seoul based creative collective <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Lumpens</span></b>.<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Three years ago</b></span>, Brisbane native <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Dalli </span></b>released his superb<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> debut single "Down This Road"</span></b>. Then, following a tragedy (five family members were in a light aircraft crash), he dropped out of law school, relocated to Melbourne and started busking full-time.<br />
<br />
Now, a year later, the singer-songwriter has dropped an outstanding <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>second single </b></span>entitled<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> "Who Are You"</span></b>, written on a solo camping trip along the Great Ocean Road.<br />
<br />
Both tracks are accompanied by excellent<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> videos. </span></b>"Who Are You" was created by Melbourne based director Jem Rankin. "Down This Road" was co-directed by Dalli and Melissa Romao.<br />
<br />
Check Dalli's Facebook page for<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> gigs in the new year</span></b> (the last show of 2017 was Wednesday.)<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Note: </span></b><b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">The Great Ocean Road</span></b> is an Australian National Heritage listed 243 km/151 mi stretch of road along the south-eastern coast between the cities of Torquay and Allansford in Victoria. Built by returned soldiers from 1919-32 and dedicated to soldiers killed during World War I, the road is the world's largest war memorial.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
So far, Stockholm singer-songwriter<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> Anna Leone </span></b>has released only one song, but oh, what a song. The single <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"My Soul I"</span></b> is a flawless composition of boundless beauty, further enhanced by the stellar, sparse production that wisely gives Leone's stunning voice the ample space it deserves.<br />
<br />
I can't wait to hear more from this immensely gifted artist who is 19 or 23 years old, depending on which media source one picks out of the bunch. But whether Leone is 19 or 23, one thing is for sure: she has her whole life ahead of her - and hopefully a brilliant career.<br />
<br />
The lovely <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">video</span></b> was shot around the Stockholm archipelago by French<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> directors Victoria Lafaurie and Hector Albouker. </span></b><br />
<br />
And speaking of French: the track dropped back in September on<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> Paris/London indie label AllPoints</span></b>.<br />

<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Fridolin Nordsø aka producer Nilo +</b> <b>Julius Aas aka producer/dj Ligron make up brand-new Danish/Norwegian duo Panda People</b></span>, formed only this year. Friends since childhood, the two have worked with stellar Danish artists such as Mø, Oh Land, Choir of Young Believers, Fallulah, Mads Langer, and more.<br />
<br />
Fridolin Nordsø also happens to be the son of Mikkel Nordsø who was the stellar guitarist in Sneakers, one of Denmark´s all time best rocks bands. With his twin brother Frederik Nordsø as well as Kristian Leth he also found time in 2008 to form The William Blakes; fourth member Bo Rande was added later.<br />
<br />
Panda Peoples' ambitious plan is to release one single a month plus remixes. The first single "Accidentally" featured American singer-producer-songwriter Brandon Beal who has collaborated with Lukas Graham, among others.<br />
<br />
The second<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> single "Overflow"</span></b> <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">features Danish singer-songwriter Jonas H. Petersen </span></b>who started his acclaimed solo project Hymns From Nineveh in 2007.<br />
<br />
The <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">studio version</span></b> <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">of "Overflow"</span></b> combines future bass & pop with Petersen's indie-meets-altar boy vocals to such a heavenly effect it might make angels weep, not to mention boogie 'til the break of dawn.<br />
<br />
The stunning <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">acoustic version of "Overflow"</span></b> performed by Petersen solo (with older b/w photos of Denmark's long-reigning Queen Margrethe and her French-born prince consort Henri aka Prince Henrik watching) strips the song down to its beautiful basics, sounding very much like the quintessential Hymns From Nineveh composition. <br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Panda People do not have any shows scheduled at this point. </span></b><br />
<br />
However, you can catch <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Petersen with his Hymns From Nineveh live band at two Christmas concerts</b></span>:<br />
First up: Saturday, December 2 @ 7 pm at the Christianskirken, Frederikshaldsgade 15, 8200 Århus N.<br />
Second show: Saturday, December 9 @ 8 pm at the Christians Kirke, Strandgade 1, 1401 Copenhagen K.<br />

<br />
Melbourne quartet <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">City Calm Down </span></b>was founded in 2008, but did not release their debut EP 'Movements' until 2012. The full-length 'In a Restless House' followed in 2015. They <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">are currently working on a second album.</span></b><br />
<br />
The stunning<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> new single "Blame"</span></b> is paired with a stellar <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">video</span></b>, shot in the Nevada desert by L.A. based <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">director Sam Kristofski.</span></b><br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Tour: </span></b><b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Jack Bourke</span></b> (vocals), <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Jeremy Sonnenberg</span></b> (bass), <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Lee Armstrong</span></b> (drums) and <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Sam Mullaly</b> </span>(keyboards) have five dates between November 23-29: four in the UK and one in Paris. Between February 2 and 11, the band will be playing five shows in Adelaide, Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, and Fremantle as part of the annual Laneway Festival.<br />

<br />
22-year-old Paris born twins <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Naomi Diaz & Lisa-Kaindé Diaz aka Ibeyi </span></b>(in Yoruba, the language of their Nigerian ancestors, the word means 'twins') have just dropped their<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> second full-length 'Ash' </span></b>on XL Recordings. The multi-lingual daughters of the late renowned Cuban percussionist Anga Diaz and French-Venezuelan singer Maya Dagnino (now also the duo's manager) once again combine vocals, percussion plus piano, and come up with their own intoxicating, unique sound.<br />
<br />
My favorite tracks on the album, the superb <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Take Away Away" </span></b>and<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> "Deathless"</span></b> (featuring acclaimed saxophonist and L.A. native Kamasi Washington), are accompanied by excellent videos: <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">the first clip </span></b>gets the playful treatment from <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Christian Beuchet</span></b>; for <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">the latter clip, directed by Ed Morris</span></b> (a frequent collaborator), a more artsy, but no less effective approach was taken.<br />
<br />
A <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">tour </span></b>kicked off September 30 in France and also wraps up in France, March 25. With more than forty shows this fall and winter in the UK, continental Europe and North America ahead of them, the Diaz sisters would be forgiven for taking some time off when they're done.<br />

Melbourne duo <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Kllo </span></b>aka cousins <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Chloe Kaul </span></b>and <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Simon Lam</span></b> drop their <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">12-track debut full-length</span></b> <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">'Backwater'</span></b> on October 20. So far, two songs have been released to whet our appetites:<br />
<br />
The bouncy-yet-chill <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Virtue" </span></b>echoes some of the best output on legendary U.S., label Naked Music (Lisa Shaw, Gaelle, Aya, Miguel Migs, Blue Six, etc.). <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Nylon" </span></b>uses a minimalist approach that is equally enthralling. The outstanding EPs that have come before showcased Kaul's hypnotic vocals and Lam's playful production; the new album looks to be of the same stellar quality.<br />
<br />
A <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">video</span></b> for "Virtue" was published last month; as of today, there is only an<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> audio</span></b> clip to go with "Nylon". Hopefully, a regular video will premiere soon.<br />
<br />
Kaul & Lam have a <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">string of shows lined up for October, November and December </span></b>with dates in the U.S,, the UK, continental Europe and Australia.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>NOTE: </b></span> Unfortunately, the tour schedule listed on Facebook and Songkick differ somewhat, so be sure to check online for each venue.<br />

<br />
<br />
In February, Danish composer-singer-guitarist <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Sara Grabow</span></b> (born 1979) self-released<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> her album 'EneRum' </span></b>[Solitary Space] containing ten beautiful songs that - as is the case with all great music - have universal appeal and thus do not necessarily require the listener to understand the lyrics; it's about the vibe and the sound. Having said that, Grabow happens to be such a skilled lyricist that I find myself wanting to give my non-Danish readers a crash course.<br />
<br />
The ten tracks were recorded north of Copenhagen at the centuries old Esrum Abbey, a location chosen specifically for its sublime acoustics. A musical labor of love about Grabow's journey of the past two years and the search for contemplation and tranquility, the songs are also an exploration of sound and tone. The lyrics express longing and pose questions, including "Might music help show us the way?" I believe her flawless album answers this question with a resounding yes. <br />

Songwriting to me is not that enjoyable and free anymore. Too much anxiety and
too many thoughts: Is it good enough? It destroys my creativity. So I have to
wait until it’s really there - the feeling. I have accepted the fact that it
can take years. In between, I concentrate on singing and performing and writing
poems and stories.</span></span></b></div>

and feminine which is often seen in great music artists such as Prince, Madonna

feminine energy to what I do. But the way I do it is masculine. I play alone
and stand strongly with my message, I hold the room with my energy and create a
direct contact with my audience when I perform - and I am not afraid to do it.
That is masculine, I guess.</span></span></b></div>

<br />
Sydney producer <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Chris Emerson aka Emoh Instead</span></b> has been doing just fine on his own with <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">What So Not</span></b> since musical partner Flume's departure in early 2015 from the project they co-founded in 2010. (Flume is not doing so bad himself.)<br />
<br />
The stellar<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> EP 'Divide & Conquer' </span></b>was released almost a year ago to great acclaim. Two superb<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> videos directed by</span></b> fellow Sydney creative <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Leticia Dare</span></b> were created for the outstanding <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">tracks "Buried" and "Trust" </span></b>(the latter brand new clip features American model/Alvin Ailey trained dancer Shaun Ross whose unique beauty and immense charisma makes it even more memorable.)<br />
<br />
"Buried" is a flawless collaboration with Australian artist <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">George Maple </span></b>and Atlanta rapper <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Rome Fortune</span></b>. On "Trust", Scottish singer/songwriter/dj/producer <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">BURNS</span></b> provides the gorgeous vocals which have distinct echoes of Usher''s gem "Climax" from his 2012 "Looking 4 Myself" album.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Tour: </span></b><br />
There are four shows remaining in the U.S. and Canada this weekend. <br />
August 12 - 27 he'll be performing in continental Europe and the UK. <br />
And between September 23 and November 25 there are a string of gigs back home in Australia. <br />

<br />
After being spotted on YouTube, <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Adrian Mikkelsen </b></span>from the small town Svaneke on the island of Bornholm was invited to participate in Danish Television's short lived talent show <i>Mentor </i>in the fall of 2013, impressing with a Frank Ocean cover among other songs and citing Bieber and Usher as his primary influences.<br />
<br />
Now 20, the singer/multi-instrumentalist (who now goes by his first name only) has resurfaced as a member of Copenhagen duo <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">FOOL</span></b>, formed only last year with experienced producer <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Jabs</span></b>, ten years his senior.<br />
<br />
While clearly showing great promise four years ago on <i>Mentor,</i> today Adrian can rightly call himself a bona fide artist. Effortlessly producing downright goose bump inducing notes, his gifts as a singer are on full display on the outstanding, utterly addictive tracks <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"The Green"</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Deserve It"</span></b> as well as the new single <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Live a Little"</span></b>. <br />
<br />
And when on January 27 FOOL performed a flawless,<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b> stripped down version of "Deserve It" in Copenhagen as part of the ongoing </b></span><b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">concert series Sofar</span></b> [Songs From a Room], Adrian truly got to shine, showcasing what a superb vocalist he is.<br />
<br />
FOOL has been signed to Sony Music DK which will hopefully do their part in ensuring that the duo gets the attention they so richly deserve both in and outside Denmark.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Note:</span></b><br />
On iTunes, where (so far) only "Live a Little" is available, FOOL has apparently been erroneously listed together with an artist who goes by the same name. <br />

<br />
<br />
35-year-old Gothenburg based musician <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>Victor Furbacken</b></span> spent his formative years in a Parisian suburb, but went to high school in the southern region of Skåne, majoring in music and fully absorbing himself into the world of jazz. An acclaimed bass player in Sweden, Furbacken played in a number of constellations before delving into songwriting and finding his own voice with the release of the excellent <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">four-track debut EP 'In the Rain' in the fall of 2015</span></b>.<br />
<br />
On the beautiful<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> new single "Somebody Help" </span></b> the listener is taken along on a 5:14 long yet all too brief otherworldly musical road trip that is perfectly complemented by the stellar<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> video, co-directed by Furbacken and Nils Dahl.</span></b><br />
<br />
I close with a statement by the artist himself:<br />
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: normal; margin-bottom: .0001pt; margin-bottom: 0in;">

<b><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I was always intrigued by language, storytelling and poetry since an early age, and I attribute it mainly to French schooling which presented me with a lot of the classics in their tradition. </span></span></b><b><span style="color: #999999;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">I was lucky in that I had many enthusiastic and good teachers
who saw my curiosity and really did 'beat' this interest into me, which I am
deeply thankful for today. English isn´t my mother tongue but it's actually
been a constant in my life since I met the language through music early on and
it did not leave me when I relocated. This is why I've turned to English
in my writing so far. Early memories of school were encounters with imagery and
stories that really caught my attention. I loved many styles but my writing is
probably quite influenced by French Symbolists like Rimbaud, Baudelaire,
Verlaine but also by English poets like Blake, Elliott, Poe or even Joyce, who
I believe all share a common fascination for darkness, life and death, love,
absurdity and humor.</span></span></b></div>

<br />
L.A. based trio <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">LANY</span></b> is one of the hardest working bands in the business, having done 229 shows in the past 30 months. The rest of 2017 is shaping up to be just as busy: <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Currently doing the festival circuit</span></b>, they have a tight<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> fall tour schedule </span></b>with a string of North American dates September 25 - November 12, a single festival appearance in Mexico City the weekend after, followed by seventeen gigs in continental Europe and the UK between November 27 and December 20.<br />
<br />
Their latest <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">video</span></b> accompanies the outstanding<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> track</span></b> <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">"Good Girls"</span></b> off their <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">self-titled sixteen-track debut full-length</span></b>, released June 30 on Polydor. The simple yet highly effective clip was<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> directed by L.A. film maker Joel Knoernschild</span></b> and seamlessly continues the obsessive love narrative from the January 2017 video created for the superb 2016 hit single "ILYSB" (Note: That video was not directed by Knoernschild; unfortunately I haven't yet been able to find info out who did.)<br />
<br />
LANY members <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Paul Jason Klein </span></b>(a former model from Tulsa, Oklahoma) <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Jake Goss</span></b> and <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Leslie Priest</span></b> (both from Nashville) may not have grown up in Los Angeles like the Beach Boys, but they may as well have. And like the BB, they have expertly crafted a gorgeous signature sound, sunny but with hints of dark skies. I will even go as far as saying that LANY's debut album is <i>Pet Sounds</i> for the 21st century. Like that seminal 1966 collection of brilliant pop songs, its 2017 counterpart perfectly captures the essence of the both eternally seductive and maddening Southern California.<br />

<br />
22-year-old Australian artist<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> Callum Baker aka elkkle</span></b> grew up on Phillip Island of Hemsworth brothers and penguin fame. Picking up the guitar at 13, his true moment of inspiration arrived in 2011 when hearing beat maker friend Jack Vanzet aka producer Thrupence, now signed to Future Classic. Relocating to Melbourne in 2012, he became a music composition major at the Victorian College of the Arts after impressing with tracks made at home using Ableton Live production software.<br />
<br />
In August 2015 an excellent four-track EP was released with fellow Melbourne producer/singer-songwriter Elle Graham aka Woodes. His<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> solo debut came last fall with the stellar singles "Soft Erasure" and "Don't Look Down".</span></b><br />
<br />
This month he dropped the superb<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;"> single "Diderot".</span></b> Inspired by the concept 'the Diderot Effect', elkkle himself describes it as being essentially a heart break song, but one which seeks to "step away from stories that overromantise or use hyperbole to make them engaging, in favor of a more documented form."<br />
<br />
The <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">video by director Rex Kane-Hart</span></b>, a longtime friend and frequent collaborator, is exceptional, perfectly matching the refreshingly playful, constantly surprising, and utterly hypnotic soundscape created by elkkle.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Three shows supporting Max Byrne aka acclaimed Brisbane producer Golden Vessel are coming up this week and next week</span></b>.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">NOTE:</span></b> Golden Vessel's single "Shoulders" featuring elkkle and 18-year-old Brisbane female singer-rapper Mallrat was released June 9.<br />
<br />
Melbourne: June 29, Workers Club<br />
Brisbane: June 30, The Foundry<br />
Sydney: July 6, Brighton Up Bar<br />

<br />
Brooklyn based singer-songwriter <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">Melissa McMillan</span></b> graduated from the University of North Texas with a music degree before moving to NYC and picking up composing. An in-demand session<br />
singer, she eventually formed her own band and <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">released a stellar six-track self-titled debut EP in 2015. </span></b><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><b>On March 16 she performed a new and stunning song of hers entitled "Frail Ground" at the Chord Club on the Upper East Side as part of the ongoing Sofar concert series</b></span>; the clip was uploaded to the Sofar YouTube channel June 14. Note: The stellar guitarist is Brad Allen Williams.<br />
<br />
McMillan's flawless live vocals are as mesmerizing as the ones she delivers in the recording studio: the most recent example is <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">the dreamlike video accompanying the beautiful track "Shade" uploaded to Vimeo in October of last year by the director Aaron Vazquez. </span></b><br />
<br />
No <b><span style="color: #6fa8dc;">gigs</span></b> are scheduled at this point, but check her website and FB now and then for announcements.<br />
