Auditory Oddyssey #1

SO over the weekend I decided to take a little auditory odyssey down the rabbit hole that is myspace music. I began with the intention of finding bands in St. Louis, MO that resembled the type of music made by Breakfast Mountain, White Fang, Bone Arrow, etc. I wanted to find the twenty something indie bands who rock the house parties every weekend. I didn't find quite what I was looking for, but I did find some good stuff. So take a moment and lend me your ears and eyes.

Gentleman Auction House


An orchestral band that reminds me of bands such as Arcade Fire and Architecture in Helsinki. (click image for link)




Throughout my few hours of searching, this was the most interesting band I was able to out of St. Louis. I'm sure there are more hidden in the cracks of myspace, but the trail led me on to Chicago, IL where I was introduced to this group:

YeaBig + KidStatic



A fresh MC/Producer combo relying on sweet electronic beats.



I was then sent across the country to LA:


THE MAE SHI

I've run out of steam on exposition, so just click the photos and take a listen.

Until next time, Enjoy!
