Need New Music?


So I'm in this amazing class at The New School called "The Practical Side of Performance". The class is taught by Rebecca Stenn and is AMAZING! The class is full of musicians, writers, actors, dancers, singers, directors, you name it! Each week a different guest from our various fields come in and give a talk about their successes and failures as an artist and gives us invaluable advice! I've learned so much from all the speakers and my classmates regardless if they're interested in the same kind of work as I am. I am just so proud of my class mates because they are all so brilliant and talented. We def. are trying to promote supporting one another... So...

Today I went to Webster Hall to go hear my friends sound, "Technicolor Lenses" and they were awesome!!! It's a combination of electronic rapp with various beats, electric guitar, drums, with undertones of rock, metal, R&B and even Pop. His musicality was unreal, and stage presence was natural and authentic; he just completely took over the stage. I was so impressed! It was the kind of music I could dance to all night long but simultaneously be inspired by it for all his messages were so smart and uplifting. The amount of text he was able to trickle off his tongue was massive and powerful! I fully recommend checking "Technicolor Lenses" out even if it doesn't sound like your normal cup-of-tea. Check their myspace, youtube, facebook, or soundcloud but overall I would go see them live. It was quite an experience!!!
