I sit down with one-half of Modern Mimes

Notes:

Modern Mimes is an American music artist duo from Fort Lauderdale, FL. The duo consists of Adi Elcida Hernandez on vocals/guitar/sampling and Ernesto Paez on the double neck guitar bass. Their music can be best described as "Future Goth," a term they coined in order to explain the fusion of alternative heavy guitar riffs, powerfully haunting vocals, subconscious provoking lyrics, electronic drums, and catchy pop melodies. 

After almost 3 years of quietly creating and crafting their sound, Modern Mimes released their debut album "Wake Up" in early 2017. Their single "Love Hate," premiered on Blank TV and their video, directed by Carla Forte, was selected at various film festivals. They followed up their debut album with a cover of Type O Negative's "I don't Wanna Be Me." The Goth Metal Legends not only approved of the cover but quickly promoted the single and video before it's release. " I Don't Wanna Be Me" has resulted in a successful 30k+ views on Youtube and was featured on Loudwire.com amongst other media outlets. 

The duo has performed 2 years in a row at Riptide Music Festival, the biggest two day Alternative and Classic Hits music festival in Fort Lauderdale and WJJR's Earthday Birthday music fest. They also toured the Southeastern United States, SXSW, and have a session on Balcony TV. 

 Modern Mimes is a perfectly chaotic reflection of the inner workings of Adi & Ernesto who create music in hopes of inspiring listeners to journey through their subconscious and look within. Their sophomore album "The Gray" was produced by Rick Lander (Flaw & Dead Horse Trauma) and Anthony Santonocito ( John Hampson(Nine Days) & Brianna Taylor) and is available now on most digital platforms.

I sit down with Ryan from Modern Sons

Notes:

Rooted in garage rock the four piece brings a ubiquitously sonic ambience with crunchy guitars and sophisticated bass lines. Organic structures are not based in a particular style of music, but rooted in the expression of experience and the song itself. The Modern Sons effectively and skillfully uses textural changes of dynamic to step into another sub genre of rock they coin as psychedelic post-punk.

I sit down with Carrot Topp from Radioactive Chicken Heads

Notes:

Not your average band of poultry punks fronted by a giant mutant vegetable, the Radioactive Chicken Heads are rapidly spreading their genetically modified rock 'n' roll across the planet...Beware, if you are reading this, you may have already been contaminated. 

This motley group of mutants first emerged from the laboratory of Dr. Baron Von Kluckinstein, a product of the infamous mad scientist's experiments to create super-sized frankenfoods. 

Tired of being cooped up in the dreary lab all day, the Radioactive Chicken Heads escaped to freedom and have since dedicated their lives to rockin' out. 

Since making their national television debut on the Tyra Banks show in 2006, the Radioactive Chicken Heads toured the US, Canada, Mexico and Peru, released 4 full length albums, filmed numerous music videos, and produced their own video game. 
In October 2017 the Chicken Heads premiered a new album, "Tales From the Coop," as well as a 3 part television pilot. 

By exposing the masses to their musical mayhem, the band hopes to bridge the gap between all humans, chickens, and vegetables on earth and beyond...

I sit down with Jesse from Sloppy Joe's

Notes:

Sloppy Joe's is a heavy rock band from Hamburg, Germany. Inspired by true legends such as KISS, Volbeat, Black Sabbath or AC/DC the three rockaholics unleash their own unique style of musical impact. Jesse Garon, Johnny Angel and Pätzy Dävey are providing blistering guitarriffs, cutting ass bass and heavy drums. That’s how the band imposingly shows what rock’n’roll is about. It’s out there, right here, just in front of you – so take the powerful rock-infusion of Sloppy Joe's. Since the release of their first EP in 2013 the band has performed more than 100 concerts in Europe (club gigs, festival shows, open-airs) and the fanbase is still growing. The new album DEVIL’S MUSIC (2019) has been highly rated by the international music press.

I sit down with Nic Earley

Notes:

Nic Earley is an artist that is embarking on a journey to help us feel and understand music the way he does. He has something new to offer the music world, coupled with an old flavor he has gained over his lifetime. While some may describe themselves as having an ‘old school’ sound, Earley truly allows this sound to become a part of his brand and the essence of his style. Originally from Covina, CA and now residing in Harlem, Earley has been exposed to music since he came home from the hospital in 1995. As a child born in the 90s, there is a multitude of obvious influences on him, yet his sound remains present in what is going on in this day and age. His sound is the perfect intersection between someone who is reverent of how his upbringing has shaped his musical ear and perspective, but someone who still enjoys a great 808 and pop synth.

The multi-instrumentalist started piano at the age of four and has performed on a variety of stages including radio appearances, theater stages, and jazz festivals. His music is fervently driven upon elements of jazz, soul, and R&B. He is someone that you will hear a lot of live instrumentation, vocal stacked harmonies, and jazzy, soul-influenced melodies.

I sit down with Ellee Ven

Notes:

ellee ven, is a singer, songwriter and creator. In the midst of a quarter life
crisis she moved into apartment “1111” and her entire life changed. On the tip of a
stranger, she took a trip to Minneapolis and returned home with 3 original songs and
her own genre of music, Groovetonics, was born. A fusion of rock and electronica
influenced by Prince, Bowie and Berlin, ellee ven's groovetonics is music made to lift
your mood and make you move.

The self proclaimed groovalutionary's single Under My Skin was a DJ favorite and her song You Can Buy Me won Video of the Year at The South Bay Music Awards. Soon after, she took home the award for
Electro Pop Artist of the Year at the Los Angeles Music Awards. These events inspired
PROJECT 11, an 8 part series of singles remixed by DJs around the world and
released on vinyl and on CD.

ellee ven has been giving back to her community as a passionate philanthropist. She hosts an annual event called “Give into the Groove” which has benefitted dozens of charities since 2001. All of her philanthropic efforts are driven by her mission to put people in touch with the creativity and kindness that exists within us all.

In 2016, LexArts, one of the artistic influencers in Lexington, honored ellee ven with the “Change the World with a Giving Heart” Award on National Philanthropy Day in Lexington, Kentucky.

Her super loyal trio is made up of drummer Jody Giachello, guitarist Antony Lee and
rapper Prodéje. She says “The thing I’m most proud of is that each of my collaborators
are superstars in their own right. We choose to collaborate and it’s been magical.” Bassist Sam Sims and keyboardist Jeff Motley are recent and bombastic additions.

At the moment, she’s back at work with two industry veterans to release a series of new singles. Engineer Reggie Dozier and percussion superstar Terry Santiel, whose partial list of credits include Justin Timberlake, Outkast, Kenny Rogers, Rose Royce, Janet Jackson, Joe Cocker, Sheila E and Marvin Gaye.
