Launch 2012 Festival : Official | Event Info | Tickets
For all of our Northern California readers/supporters who have expressed the need for bigger musical festival type events we have something coming up at the end of this month that may float your boat. Launch 2012 is a Music + Design + Fashion Festival slated to happen at Cesar Chavez Park in Sacramento CA on July 23 - 28. All throughout the week they will be showcasing different designers and artists throughout town and at the end of the week on the 28th they'll be closing things out with the likes of Chromeo + DJ Shadow + Grouplove + !!! + More. If this were a lot closer I'd definitely make it out to the event. Visual promotional aids are available down below...

Slow Magic - Sorry Safari [Music Video]

Slow Magic : Facebook | Bandcamp
I guess I'm on a roll today. I don't know how and why I always seem to stumble upon really really good music late at night/early in the morning. Maybe it's because my mind is at it's clearest point in the night. Maybe it's because day time activity and thought process is overrated. Maybe that's just how sh)(t happens. Any hoo, I clicked here and there and now we're at Slow Magic's track Sorry Safari. If you trip out to the video and want to be reminded of that visual trip each time through auditory means, you can purchase the track off of their bandcamp page here. If you like the music, but you can barely afford gas right now let alone a track, help the artist by passing the video along to someone who may enjoy it.

Rubblebucket Live in Chicago [Live Video + Tour Dates]

Rubblebucket: Official | Live in Chicago DVD/CD: Pre-Order

I'm used to hearing blaring horns over fast paced upbeat Ska music. The folks in Rubblebucket seem to incorporate them so well in their style of music. I'm not entirely sure what exactly is their style but I do know it is fun and it is catchy. Their colorful sound makes me imagine nothing short of a great time at one of their shows and the video goes to show that Rubblebucket live is exactly that, a fun great time! I've got to get to the bottom of what their musical influences are sooner or later. I've been meaning to catch them our here in LA the last few times now but haven't made it so i'm excited to hear that they will be back on tour this spring. If your'e at SXSW this weekend make sure the check them out! If not, check out the tour dates below to see when they're coming to a city near you.
