OTHER COOL STUFF

 

Electric Soft Parade - Blue It Is

Electric Soft Parade - Blue It Is

It’s not all that often that a band does a live cover that makes you want to find out more about the original artist, but I have a feeling this version of “Blue It Is” originally recorded by the late Billy MacKenzie might have that effect on a lot of you. This performance is one of my favorite moments from the Live at LG sessions. Good stuff!

 

Live at LG: Locksley - Let Me Know

Live at LG: Locksley - Let Me Know

Locksley are from the NYC, but they channel Liverpool like few bands can nowadays. This session was probably the most fun we’ve had since we started the series, and it was all because the guys in the band were having as much fun as we were. This track is from their most recent record Don’t Make Me Wait in stores now.

 

Live at LG: Locksley - It Won't Be Long

Live at LG: Locksley - It Won't Be Long

It sure is nice to hear a band play Rock N’ Roll how it used to be…fun and upbeat. If you think you’ve heard this song before, it’s because you have. It’s a cover of the Beatles classic from their 1964 record Meet The Beatles!

 

Live at LG: Eastern Conference Champions - The Box

Live at LG: Eastern Conference Champions - The Box

This track is from the band’s forthcoming album titled Ameritown due out this June on Suretone records. We asked the band if they were talking about Basketball or Hockey when they named the band. It was hockey. Can you guess the team? Bring on the rock!

 

Live at LG: Mezzanine Owls - Moving Ground

Live at LG: Mezzanine Owls - Moving Ground

This track is an acoustic version of the first track off of the Mezzanine Owls debut album called Slingshot Echoes. We love it when a band comes in and does a version of a song that’s a lot different from the studio recording. After you listen to the Live at LG version head over to their site to hear the original.

 

Live at LG: The Exies - Once In a Lifetime

Live at LG: The Exies - Once In a Lifetime

According to frontman Scott Stevens, this song was kinda the catalyst for their new record. Sometimes inspiration comes from the least expected places, but when it works it works. It’s always cool when a band covers a song, but also put their own stamp on it.

 

Live at LG: The Exies - Different Than You

Live at LG: The Exies - Different Than You

This week in the LG Studios we have a band originally from Canton, Oh called Lovedrug. They played three songs for us from their sophomore record called Everything Starts Where IT Ends which will be in stores on March 6th. The band is currently on Militia Group and will be touring a ton for the new record. Go see them, you won’t be disappointed!
