I'm a huge fan of live music. I think an artist really drifts into the song in live performance that they can't while in a recording studio. Couple of tools I used to find new bands are the ever amazing:
Since I'm late on starting the blog, I'm just going to give you the highlights for now.

Follow all of those if you're a fan of the new music. Seriously.
Couple of highlights from the month:
The beautiful and talented Kimbra performs an amazing acoustic rendition of "Wandering Limbs".
She Keeps Bees is one of my favorites out of the month. Seriously killer. Imagine Mazzy Starr having written all of Cat Power's songs.
Typhoon is a huge band with a huge sound. This video starts a bit slow, but stick with it. You won't regret it.
Lemolo has a dreamy sound that relaxes me better than Xanax. This song is great.
Pokey LaFarge is the embodiment of commitment to his front-man character. The Dixieland style guitar jazz and performance makes me think of 1920's Django on cocaine. Well, more cocaine.
