For being a small country, Scotland has had an enormous impact on modern music. It never ceases to amaze me at the sheer number of talented, successful artists she has produced over the years. The rock music genre, in particular, has been the largest recipient of this talent. Kate Victoria Tunstall, or KT as the world now knows her, is a perfect example.

One of the many things that I absolutely love about working with Project Rhythm Seed is the free music. We receive new CD’s and album downloads quite regularly from the many PR/publicity firms that we work with. So many that quite honestly there are times when CD’s pile up for a bit before getting opened and listened to. In the same such manner I recently became aware of a new band from New York called The Dig. I received their new CD, Electric Toys, in a stack with about 10 others. It took me about a week to get down to listening to them, but oh what a pleasant surprise for me when I finally did.

It’s a Thursday night here in Southern California as a drive down the coast to the House of Blues in San Diego. I’m listening to the John Butler Trio’s new album April Uprising, which I’ve had for a couple of months now, but haven’t really gotten into yet. The songs are good. I sense a blending of styles, everything from blues to Celtic to bluegrass to a Hendrix influence that undeniably cuts through. John Butler is most definitely a guitar guy, but he can sing too. The band is tight. All in all it’s a good record, but maybe not one of my faves, yet anyway.
In continued support of Fantasies, Metric announces a short run of headlining dates this March on the west coast (see below for details). This summer, Metric will tour as part of the traveling Lilith Festival, which will make stops nationwide. Other participating acts include Mary J. Blige, Norah Jones, Tegan & Sara, Sheryl Crow, and many more. Lots to look forward to!
