New Music Monday

KTop aka Kountertop is in the White Noise player. Check it out and then head over to their site to catch one of their upcoming gigs. These guys are busy. But that is awesome because they’re also good. Busy and good go together. And much better than lazy and distracted, which is more descriptive of those who aren’t playing a lot of upcoming gigs.

Brand New Local Music! David Haack Trio on White Noise

IMG_2457

The David Haack Trio’s latest CD, “Who Am I” came out April 25. All the tracks on it hit iTunes later this month. But because we love you, we’ll let you listen to it here first. Click on the White Noise music player to your right.

The CD plays like a musical diary. David clearly put a lot of thought into the CD as a whole, not just individual songs, so listen to it from start to finish. Pay close attention to Haack’s guitar work. It really shines on this album. Colin Peterson’s bass gives a solid, almost retro feel, especially to the rock tracks. Master of rhythm Patrick Baker’s drums rumble and his high hat pitter patters all the way through. Catchy originals come straight from the heart and David’s vocals reveal his vulnerable side.

Monday Morning Survival Music

It’s Monday. It’s 40 degrees outside and the sky is spitting unflavored Icee mix down on your head. You’ve drug yourself in to work fueled by a sad cup of coffee and a Pop Tart. Face it, you need help to get through the rest of your work day. White Poison delivers! We’ve got new music up on the White Noise Player. Please direct your attention to the player on the right hand side of the page, plug in your headphones (unless you work from home, then stick it on the stereo,) and get your local music fix.

This week’s featured artist is Calous.

If I had to sum up Calous in one word it would be STRONG. Their rhythms are driving, their vocals are full of adrenaline. They’ll send that shock down your spine that you need to kick it in to high gear at work and battle your way to the top of the office typing pool.
