Born Ruffians | Buy Birthmarks

Last week we had the humbling opportunity to interview the eclectic Born Ruffians at the beautiful Troubadour in LA. A show that will definitely hold a place close to not only our hearts, but those of the band as well. You could feel the excitement reverberate through both floors of the venue. After the thunderous set, we sat down with the pulsating energy of the band and bassist Mitch DeRosier.

Check the interview after the jump, and don’t forget the video of “Foxes Mate For Life” if you want to catch the vibes of the night.

Cayucas | Buy ‘Bigfoot’
Tickets to Observatory Santa Ana June 7

Cayucas screams summer. It’s a sound that takes me back to the months directly preceding college. The sort of carefree, borderline reckless transition into more hopeful horizons. A clean slate! Driving beach side. Windows down. Music up. It’s hard to compare to those moments of peace, yet Cayucas seems to take us there through their uplifting spirits. Being from San Luis Obispo, CA makes them no stranger to surfer culture, and it’s pleasantly apparent in their music.

With the recent release of Cayucas’ debut album ‘Bigfoot,’ it’s time they caught traction. And what better for music like this than the eve of Summer? Their single ‘High School Lover’ wraps up all my nostalgia in a sand soaked beach towel, and the video is a work of art(s and crafts)! Reminds me of the first time I saw Vampire Weekend’s ‘A-Punk’ video. They go on tour this month with two SoCal stops, so be ready to catch them before they blow up. Tracklist after the jump.

Cashmere Cat

Cashmere Cat (Magnus August Høiberg) is a 25 year old Norweigan DJ and producer. He represented Norway at the DMC DJ World Championships from 2006 through 2009 as DJ Final and was a finalist multiple years. Clearly this guy is no stranger to the tables or the electronic music scene. Under the Cashmere Cat moniker he has released the Mirror Maru EP and about a dozen remixes for artists including Lana Del Rey, Benzel and most recently Miguel. His sound is hard to really put into any specific genre. It’s definitely its own unique blend of R&B, Hip Hop, Bass Music and Pop. The end result is a glorious sound that is unmistakably Cashmere Cat.

$10 PRESALE TICKETS // RSVP

We’re excited to announce that we will be building around a much-needed music scene in the Downtown Santa Barbara area. This first of many events will be headlined by the unmistakable, disco-house demigod Treasure Fingers. In 2008, The Atlanta based DJ/Producer quickly fostered a reputation for his dancy remixes and was signed to A-Trak’s Fools Gold Records. Over the years, Treasure Finger’s name has become synonymous with eclectic, yet tasteful house music. He’s been very much a favorite of ours for years, so we’re excited to host him at the beginning of our SB future. Come out and support the good sound with even better people! Oh by the way, FREE GRILLED CHEESE SANDWICHES before 11pm.
