Top 3 Indies Videos 6/4/17! Bobby’s Bar (Japan), Trash Templars, Peeling, Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown. The Top 3 best Indies and Alternative Music artists for the week of June 4, 2017!

First up are some lovable nutcases from Failchester / Bielefeld, Nordrhein-Westfalen in Germany…. (Failchester!?) When I saw their photo, I knew that I didn’t even have to listen to these guys to know I’d like it. I love bands with a sense of humor! Their Facebook page says their interests are “Crusading.” Bwa! Ha! Ha! That’s hilarious! But seriously, they say they are a “Teenage sixties Garage Punk Band.” 

Their bio says: “After some very long Crusades the Templars are back Home with fully loaded Bags to bring the Holy Grail of Fuzz to the cheerin´ audience. They found it in the Backyard of a an ugly Beat-Garage where it was laying over decades and now the Templars hand the Grail around for all the thirsty disbelievers. Drink from our stomping Teenage Shutdown Nectar and have a refreshing taste from the holy Beat-Punk-Water to reach the Fuzz-Paradise.”

The Trash Templars

Look at their helmets! They mimic the days of King Arthur by cutting metal buckets and putting them upon their heads! Shockingly Chivalrous Genius! Go “Like” their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/TrashTemplars/

#3) The Trash Templars – Dancing with the Bull https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tTjnaM-p1VM

At #2 is a 4-piece psychedelic punk / noise pop band from Ontario named Peeling. Their newest EP “7 Years of Blood” just came out on May 26, 2017. Today’s track, “Wandering Womb” is taken from that EP. That’s about all I now about Peeling excepting this is way cool. Go Like their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/peelingband/

#2) Peeling – Wandering Womb  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2dyoPPZsLo

At #1 this week is Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas. This is their second time to hit our countdown. The first time was on May 20, 2017! Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas hail from Detroit, Michigan. Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas have performed countless headline gigs and as support for such like-minded acts as Gogol Bordello, Social Distortion and St. Paul & The Broken Bones, and well-received sets at festivals like Lollapalooza, ACL Music Festival, Osheaga, and Bonnaroo. Long hailed as an explosive and theatrical live outfit, Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas will celebrate the release of they new album, “Telephone // Telefono” (On Sale June 23, 2017) with a non-stop North American tour.

#1) Jessica Hernandez & the Deltas – Run Too Far https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGYUb6ITMus

Spotlight Artist! Today’s spotlight goes to a trio from Tokyo named Bobby’s Bar. Bobby’s Bar claims to be making music that is: “Voodoo Spook-a-Billy.” To get an idea of what these monsters are like, check out their influences: “Horror movie / Jungle Exotica vol 1 &2/ Lavender’s Jungle/ Las Vegas Grind / Reverend Horton Heat / Halloween music / Screamin’ Jay Hawkins / Bo Diddley / Surf music / Tiki culture / Swing music / Django Reinhart / William Bolcom / Tim Burton.” That pretty much sums it up!

Garage Rockin’ Craze

They are in our Spotlight this week because the feature prominently in the cool Tokyo Garage scene documentary: “Garage Rockin’ Craze.” (You can check out that awesome flick’s trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNukfLBvALc)

Top 3 Indies Videos 5/21/17! Moja (Japan), Baby Shakes, Sloan Peterson, Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas!

It’s time once again for the Top 3 Indies Artist Video Countdown. The Top 3 best Indies and Alternative Music artists for the week of May 21, 2017!

Once again, today’s line up is awesome (if I must say so myself!) First up is a new artist from Brisbane, Australia named Sloan Peterson. Her bio says, “Sloan Peterson; a love child of 50’s guitar pop and modern garage rock, bursting with a warmth that’s inseparable from her private identity. Influenced by everything from Elvis, to Latin legend Xavier Cugat or the fashion statements of Nancy Sinatra and Bowie – Sloan Peterson is the sum of these influences that adds up to so much more.
Her debut EP is in progress.” Today’s number is her debut single.

Of course she has a Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sloanpetersonmusic

#3) Sloan Peterson – 105 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbP2PUKDDj0

At #2 is Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas who hail from Detroit, Michigan. In 2014, Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas released their debut “Secret Evil” and spent two years on the road; countless headline gigs, supports with such like-minded acts as Gogol Bordello, Social Distortion and St. Paul & The Broken Bones, and well-received sets at festivals like Lollapalooza, ACL Music Festival, Osheaga, and Bonnaroo. Long hailed as an explosive and theatrical live outfit, Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas will celebrate the release of they new album, “Telephone // Telefono” (On Sale June 23, 2017) with a non-stop North American tour. They’ll debut in Japan on my nationally broadcast FM radio show, “WTF?” on InterFM897 tomorrow, Sunday, May 21, 2017.

Here’s their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/pg/JessicaHernandezandTheDeltas

#2) Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas – Sorry I Stole Your Man  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j-v76IVtV-Y

At #1 this week are no strangers to the countdown, New York’s own, The Baby Shakes! Their Bio says, “Baby Shakes are a rock n’ roll-punk band from New York City. Mary on lead vocals and guitar, Judy on lead guitar and vocals, Claudia on bass and vocals, and Ryan on drums. With catchy melodic vocals over dirty guitars and a killer rhythm section, their influences range from The Ramones and Slade to Chuck Berry and 60’s Motown girl groups.

I love this band! AND their newest album “Turn it Up” goes on sale today (May 19, 2017)!

#1) Baby Shakes – Do What You Want https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5xF6Yl8RAqc

TODAY’S SPOTLIGHT ARTIST! Today’s feature are a kickass duo from Tokyo named Moja who are going to appear at the Chester Live 2017 festival in the UK this year! Wow! Moja’s bio says, “What’s Moja sound like??? It’s thundering, passionate, high-speed Dance Music of the kind you’ve which never experienced before. Everyone dances like mad at our shows. And we love to share that space and experience with the audience. We’ve performed in many places such as Tokyo, Toronto, Quebec, New York, London, Liverpool, Hong Kong, Italy, and more…” I’ve seen Moja live several times before. It is difficult to describe their live shows… I haven’t seen anything like it since Iggy Pop. This video captures the live atmosphere of the band about as best as I think possible – which is impossible. This video was given rave reviews by the drummer of the Libertines.

Here’s Moja’s Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/MOJA-203061873063258/
