Aloha, Ahoy,
Travelling, adventures & exploration are among my favourite things to do in the entire world with my time.
When I can't physically travel, I ensure that my senses do; music in particular is a brilliant way to not only switch off from the world, but a fantastic way to launch yourself into it too.
During a time of adjustment, in a town I didn't know many people in, I turned to the internet for inspiration, I searched for music.
I found some brilliant songs by artists I'd never heard before, that's when I new I'd found something exciting, something I was passionate about & something I definitely wanted, no wait, needed to share.

Tonight i'm excited to share my round-up of the freshest beats & coolest tunes that I've witnessed.
You don't need a passport to check out these tunes, but join me won't you on an adventure stretching the farthest reaches of the globe...
I was introduced to my good brother Nahko by a musician friend who said 'dude if ever a thing was to be your jam, this would be it' I listened & never stopped since. My heart and spirit belong with Nahko & MFTP, they are my escape, my retreat, my family, my medicine.
NAHKO BEAR & MEDICINE FOR THE PEOPLE // WASH IT AWAY
Friends make friends, on my way out of one MFTP zone session, I found myself stumbling right into the tune haven of Xavier Rudd & I felt like my soul, my being & my dreams were set alight. It was like connecting to everything all at once, while being completely unconnected to everything & taken on a journey.
XAVIER RUDD // WARRIOR
These girls give me strength, they inspire me, they set my soul on fire. Their beats and melodies entwined with the harmonising vocals are simply righteous & take me under their spell every time...
RISING APPALACHIA // OH DEATH
Like a butterfly that simply appears from nowhere Aurora, my next sweet sound fluttered around my senses one night, the beat hooked me, the vocals ensnared me & I've found that magic in the music...
AURORA // RUNNING WITH THE WOLVES
A record payed through the speakers of an old laptop, led me to ask the music weavers in Oxen make their way across Europe to play in a dimly lit dusty venue & it was and remains one of my favourite memories, I'm excited to share the next chapter of the adventure and support Oxen in twenty-sixteen...
OXEN // ONLY FOREVER
While my senses are off exploring globally enticing tunes, I can't deny the treasure box of tunes in my native England... The guitar, the melody, the chorus, the beat - the perfect cocktail. Partisan are becoming a firm favourite of mine...
PARTISAN // TWO LOVERS
I met my next treasure at the least expected place, during Bowling For Soup's tour on the Southampton leg, keeping the crowd hyped; MC LARS was out proving that not all treasure is silver and gold, something I never really listened to before but flinging-flanging hell this guy such a treat!....
MC LARS // ZOMBIE T-REX
That same magical night, I witnessed The Dolly Rots & felt that pang of attitude & magic I felt when watching 10 Things I Hate About You & Buffy as a teen, that Californian cool rock chic - punk chic vibe that has pretty much been embedded in me since I was a kid #westcoastgirl and I think they might just by my favourite thing ever.
Kelly get's extra points for waving at me even when Jaret told her to stop waving (one of those you had to be there moments!)
THE DOLLYROTS // LITTLE MEDUSA
TTH & Jaz on a long hot summer evening a few years ago, stole my heart, pulling me down the rabbithole in to a cabaret - circus -London -victoriana-steampunk world that I couldn't decide whether I was terrified or completely incensed with.
TANKUS THE HENGE // WEATHER
Like before, friends of friends, skanking out of one party & into another I found none other than Mad Apple Circus who kept me dancing till those early hours. If music is the food of the soul, than Mad Apple Circus is a feast fit for a king.
MAD APPLE CIRCUS
Ahhh I don't even want to stop sharing, there's just so many epic bands and groovy songs! I will because it comes on the promise of more waiting for you on the horizon of the blogosphere...
Until next time my wolfies.
