SHEL
SHEL, a band of four sisters named Sarah, Hannah, Eva and Liza, is one of my absolute favorite rising bands out there. If you are in New York tonight, Monday April 2, 2012, please go see a free SHEL concert at Rockwood Music Hall at 7:30PM. It's sure to be a lovely show for all! And, if you want to get backstage, you can probably get there if you bring Sarah some ginger chews.
If you don't know about SHEL, here is a little bit about them. Enjoy!
This is SHEL (They have grown a lot since this video was made, but you'll get the idea)
SHEL - Toyland
I first learned about SHEL via Eva Holbrook after I had already fallen deeply in love with her music. She is a gifted songwriter, arranger, instrumentalist, and angelic vocalist. Eventually I learned of the group with her sisters who all share the same giftedness. Once I heard their whole band together, I knew I had landed in music heaven.

MusicLoad fave, Gaby Moreno, signs label deal with Metamorfosis
Happy to report that Gaby Moreno (featured on MusicLoad.Com dozens of times since 2006) just signed a record contract with the independent label of Guatemalan recording artist Ricardo Arjona. The label is known as Metamorfosis. Ricardo Arjona is one of Latin America's top selling acts and he broke from the major labels to pave his own international path.
Gaby became one of my most favorite indie artists out there, since the moment I noticed her in 2006. Have come to admire her greatly since then. She has the right attitude in how she has worked to get her music out there, play lots of shows... she has a consistent vibe, very relaxed, kind and sweet. She has integrity. Always making something, working on new songs, playing with new people, traveling to far away places to perform and tour.
Have always thought she was destined for superstardom on this path she is on, but superstardom isn't her trip. She lives in the moment like few others. She is a lover of blues/jazz/rock music and maintains a tranquility style life with a solid work to live rather than a live to work ethic. Such observations are not always what they appear to be, but that's the feeling I get from Gaby Moreno. Her Peace of Mind radiates. That's the most important thing one can have, in my humble opinion. That's why I think Gaby Moreno is destined for so much more success than she has already achieved in creating a self-sustaining working band and music career as a recording artist, songwriter other artists, with several film & TV on the music side, collaborator with many and touring artist. No doubt, Moreno will be Metamorfosis most valuable asset in due time. Keep your eyes and ears on Gaby Moreno via Gaby-Moreno.Com
Here is a recent collaboration of Gaby with Metamorfosis founder Ricardo Arjona.

"Whole Lotta Helter Skelter"
This pretty darned cool mashup below is via guitar guru Brian Ray, well known as Paul McCartney's guitarist. Brian posted this clip below to his Facebook page this morning (March 28, 2012). Brian wrote: "BEST mashup track I've ever heard! "Whole Lotta Helter Skelter".. [And I don't even like mashups]".
The mashup was put together by a guy out of North Wales who goes by the moniker "soundhog" who writes he is in "musical composition, reappropriation and reproduction." I like how he uses the word "reappropriation" to describe his craft. Always thinking of Henry Rollin's rant about DJ's when listening to DJ's and mashups. With so many DJ's and mix masters who often sound the same vying for star status, it's cool to hear a DJ use "reappropriation" to describe their work. Kudos to Soundhog!

Fly My Pretties
Back in January 2012, I first consciously heard the music of Fly My Pretties and featured several earlier live music video performances from this fantastic musical collaboration of musicians from Wellington, New Zealand that only records live albums, in various locations around New Zealand. The different musical backgrounds of the members make for an eclectic mix of songs on their releases. Fly My Pretties was the brainchild of Barnaby Weir, front man of the Black Seeds and Mikee Tucker of Loop Recordings.
The latest Fly My Pretties IV CD/DVD set came out March 19, 2012. The 16 new songs on this 4th CD and DVD effort represent the best takes from the collective's November 2011 tour. These new songs were performed, filmed and recorded live across nine sold out shows. The tour also marked the collective's first international gig, playing an impressive sell out Melbourne date.
Via a unique collaboration, renowned visual/street artist Flox found inspiration in each song to create 16 original and dedicated pieces of art. A unifying thread throughout the show, the artworks were brought to life through projection, animation and visual trickery. Following the tour, these visuals were expertly mixed with the live video footage to create a seamless visual representation of the performances on DVD.
Here are 8 of the 16 tracks from Fly My Pretties IV CD/DVD set.
Enjoy! GC
