09-May-2016 By Leave a Comment

Welcome back! Now that we’ve got the hotline to the youbloomDublin 2016 Music Festival artists themselves, I’m thinking we take it #tbt and dig a little deeper. You’ve already tuned in to the music of some of our artists  (like The Smoking Giants and Kidd Kidd), but what about where it all began? MY FIRST TIME isn’t afraid to […]

We’re back, music friends! That’s right, the youbloomDublin 2016 Music Festival & Conference is fast approaching and that, rock and rollers, can only mean one thing: it’s HEADROOM time!

facebook

Creating your online presence and growing your fan base is not as easy as some make it out to be. If you were creating your Facebook page for your music five years ago, this would have been a different story. Few artists had band pages, and it was less difficult to get lost in the […]

new music wednesday with dan m

Leftover Crack – Constructs Of The State (2015) Leftover Crack rose from the ashes of the mighty band Choking Victim, and mainly consists of ex-Choking Victim guitarist and vocalist Scott “Stza” Sturgeon and friends. Of the curious band name, Stza once said that, since they were leftover C.V. tunes, they were essentially, well, leftover crack. […]

The Three P’s of Recording

The Three P's of Recording

Last week, I went into White Room Studios in Austin, Texas to begin work on Of The Sun’s new EP, Before A Human Path. This marks possibly the 17th anniversary of the first time I’ve ever “laid down tracks”, as they say. While most of my experience in recording has been in either makeshift or […]

THE PLUNGE: youbloom | HEADROOM #13 with Featured Artists from the youbloomLA 2015 Music Festival

the plunge

Take the plunge: Learn that instrument. Take the plunge: Head for the city.  Take the plunge: Form a band. Record your songs. Go on tour.   All first steps are leaps into a vast, deep unknown. From the moment you hold out your hand to introduce yourself to someone new…to the first note you utter onstage […]

The last installment of HEADROOM for the youbloomLA 2015 Music Festival goes live tomorrow.

BEFORE I DIE: youbloom | HEADROOM # 10 with Featured Artists from the youbloomLA Music Festival

30-Nov-2015 By 1 Comment

“Before I die, I need to make sure I properly load the dishwasher, choose a stable career in something like insurance, and be in bed by 10pm every night.” SAID NO MUSICIAN EVER. Goals like these, while perhaps completely acceptable for Arnold Accountant over there, lack a certain…je ne sais rah! for the discerning musician. […]
