This week's Tuesday Double Feature is just unique enough to catch your interest, so take a second and enjoy.
Mr. Little Jeans - "Good Mistake"
Monica Birkenes, aka Mr. Little Jeans is celebrating the fresh release of her debut album Pocketknife on Harvest Records just this last month. The Norwegian singer creates a tangled syth-pop that's rich with hypnotically danceable groove-beats. Like an 80's inspired new wave dream this artist is sure to be quick to make a name for herself.
Kongos - "Come With Me Now"
The energetic rock of the Kongos is powerfully aggressive and ripe with the unique accents of according and slide guitar. Quickly becoming a force to be reckoned with, the band has seen recent wide spread exposure with radio attention, spots on network and cable TV, highlight in the Rolling Stones February feature "10 New Artists You Need to Know About" and with a song in the coveted slot of ITunes 'Single of the Week'. Spring and summer will see them continuing to support their Epic Records release Lunatic with a supporting slot with Alice and Chains and several festival dates including our own Sasquatch Festival.

Living Room Performance: Best Coast - "Baby I'm Crying"
Best Coast - "Baby I'm Crying"
Southern California based Best Coast offers up this soulful ballad from their latest Fade Away EP. A wonderful contrast to their more guitar pop tunes, this track reveals a sweet vulnerability and further fleshes out this band.
A LiveAudio recording, this session was captured with a binauarl microphones set up for an immersive 360 degree field of sound. Developed to provide listeners with a more authentic live sound experience, the microphones are built into the heads of human dummies and factor in the way sound travels at different rates of speed to each ear. The result is a three-dementional sound best experienced through head phones of a Jambox speaker and offers the audience a true audio picture.

Cure for the Mondays: Jessica Childress - "I Quit"
Jessica Childress - "I Quit"
It's Monday, I know we're all thinking it.
LA soulstress Jessica Childress has a voice like the soul queens of old. Combining rock 'n' roll pinaz with traditional R&B into her own sassy style Childress is taking the industry by force with her awesome talent. Riding the wave of exposure from her time on the show The Voice, she has recently released her debut EP Don't Forget My Name and is playing sold out show in her native California. With any luck this will all translate into a full-lengthed album and more extensive touring.

Living Room Performance: Slash & Myles Kennedy "Sweet Child O' Mine"(Acoustic)
Slash & Myles Kennedy - "Sweet Child O' Mine"(Acoustic)
Foxtel's Max Sessions
Seymour Center
Sydney, Australia
2010
I doubt that he needs any introduction, having slung his six strings in some of the most iconic bands to ever play rock 'n' roll, Slash, guitar god extraordinaire, has had more effect on the instrument and style of the guitar in the last 4 decades then any other artist in the last century. How many of use have found ourselves in the basement adorned in a top hat and strumming an air guitar. If anything this performance demonstrates the immeasurable skill Slash has with his insturment.
Sharing the stage with him is Myles Kennedy, Lead singer of the band Alter Bridge and long time Slash collaborator. Kennedy also held the vocal lead for Slash's 2012's Apocolyptic Love. Enjoy this rare rendition of a true classic.

Quick Pick :Vikesh Kapoor @ Mississippi Studios 02/19
Wednesday, February 19th
Vikesh Kapoor (Supporting)
Eleni Mandell
Mississippi Studios
3939 N. Mississippi
Doors:8PM /Show:9PM
Adv.:$10/Day Of:$12
21 & Over
Possessed by a folk spirit, Vikesh Kapoor creates music that allows his organically rustic voice to swim freely through beautifully simplistic instrumentation. Like Guthrie and Dylon before him Kapoor sings of the human condition that exists beyond chronological boundaries. This is the ache and struggle of every human heart. Touring in support of his album The Ballad of Willy Robins which tells the story of one of the many hardworking blue collared souls over looked in our digital age. Supporting the beautiful melody of Eleni Mandell's country-folk this show should sound like heaven off the wood paneled walls of the lovely Mississippi Studios. Nothing gets you over the hump of the week like getting your folk on.
