SomeKindaWonderful are currently entertaining crowds across the country with their genre-bending music that injects energy into every listener and brings them to life.  They are currently out on the 34 date US Fall tour opening for New Politics and Bad Suns.  This past weekend, they made a stop in San Francisco and performed at the legendary Fillmore.  It was amazing to see finally catch this band live. SomeKindaWonderful is:

  • Jordy Towers – Vocals/lyrics
  • Matt Gibson – Guitar
  • Ben Schigel – Drums
  • Justin Andres – Bass/Keys
  • Sarah Dryer – Vocals/Percussion

These five are pure entertainment when they hit the stage. You cannot categorize them simply by placing them in a genre checkbox, they bring so many great elements of alternative, rock, hip hop, soul, grunge and so much more. Their refreshing sound will become true music to your ears as they jump start your love of all music. The crowd went wild at the Fillmore and even more so when they performed their hit, Reverse which is a love story gone wrong – written chronologically backwards.  “I don’t think anyone’s ever written a song backwards before,” Jordy explains about writing Reverse. “It was the first song we wrote together as a band, the night we met; that was the song we wrote and we didn’t even know each other. We met in the bar writing that song. It kind of set the tone for us. Before we even thought of putting out a single or doing anything…that was our song.” Each member stands out on the stage with their magnetic personalities exhibiting captivating stage presence. For an opening band, you could not have asked for anything more as they really pumped up the crowd and started the night off right.  We had the chance to interview them before their set and are going to be bringing that to you later this week. Check out the photos from our Rockin Ryan of their set:

Let me introduce you to  Traedonya. Traedonya was raised in New York City and she surrounded herself with all kinds of music from Hip Hop, Funk and Rock. She truly is a lover of a variety of music and with those influences has created her own unique sound.   Traedonya has been dubbed the ‘The Bride of New Funk Hipopera” and she surely lives up to that title with her fusion of  hip hop, jazz, and her vocal range.

Traedonya has launched her pre-orders for her new EP, “High Fructose Corn Syrup” through a PledgeMusic campaign. Traedonya says, “I don’t believe in genres, I believe in the song married with the music. As I am in life, I wish not to be placed in a box with my music. I am excited to be working with Pledge Music on my solo debut project. After having the meeting with them, I felt this was a perfect marriage. This is the 2014 music industry!  

 

As part of the campaign there will be various merchandise and perks for fans to get involved. Pledge Music gives her fans and those who are interested in the artist to go thru the whole journey with TRAEDONYA!  This will allow all pledgers to become patrons of the arts in modern society. In ancient Rome, this was how artists were allowed to bring their passion and vision to life.

As part of the campaign TRAEDONYA! will launch her personal brand with her own line of Hip Opera Gloves featuring her new logo. We were seeking a product that would be a fit for TRAEDONYA! and felt that gloves were a perfect because over the years  she always wore them. It was a natural extension who she truly is. The gloves are tasteful yet current in fashion Prohibition’s Ambassador At Large A.K Smith-Ford.  Prohibition has partnered with http://thefuturehasnomemory.com to assist in the roll out of the Gloves.

The Campaign just isn’t about TRAEDONYA!. An integral part of this campaign will be the St. Judes Childrens Hospital. The mission of St Judes research is to advance cures and means of prevention, for pediatric catastrophic diseases through research and treatment. Consistent with the vision of founder Danny Thomas, no child is denied treatment based on race, religion or a family’s ability to pay for care.  This has made me very happy to be able to assist this great institution says TRAEDONYA!.

FORREST DAY

Not many bands today can boast of an audience that has interests ranging from ska, funk, jazz, punk, hip hop, rap and so much more. One band that is certain to draw an eclectic crowd who are pure music lovers of all styles of genres is Forrest Day. Forrest Day is our Bay Area treasure of a band but their fanbase has rapidly grown and they have fans from all over the country and even internationally.  One thing is for sure, when you see them perform live, you are instantly hooked. When you listen to their album or hear their songs, you love them but when you see them live, the love affair intensifies, the heat is raised and you are just head over heels in lusty love with their sound. It is truly indescribable.

Forrest Day is going to be heading down to perform at The Viper Room in Hollywood, May 15th at 8 pm. Do whatever you can to get yourself there, because it will definitely be a night to remember. We had the chance to chat with lead singer and the band’s namesake Forrest and are pleased to bring you that interview here:

 

FORREST DAY recently signed with Breaking Bands LLC, the new management firm directed and founded by the powerhouse team of Testament vocalist and co-manager Chuck Billy, Adrenaline PR CEO Maria Ferrero, and former MegaForce Records and Crazed Management owners Jon and Marsha Zazula. Chuck Billy states, “The first time I saw FORREST DAY play live, they were just such a fresh sound to my ears and I thought the frontman Forrest was such a great vocalist with an original style. Coincidentally, I ran into them at Soundwave Studio where Testament rehearses (they happen to rehearse there, too), and it turned out that they were looking for management. The rest is history.”  

Maria Ferrero adds, “Working with FORREST DAY is very rewarding for me because FORREST DAY’s music is the epitome of outside the box: unique and inspiring.”  “We love working with FORREST DAY because we’re gluttons for punishment and we’re absolutely in love with Forrest’s mind,” adds Jonny and Marsha Zazula.

Make sure to visit their social media sites so you can stay up to date on their latest news. Also head over to iTunes and be sure to pick up their latest release, The Second.  Check out their upcoming show dates on their website and see if they are coming to a venue near you.

She truly is a lover of a variety of music and with those influences has created her own unique sound.   Traedonya has been dubbed the ‘The Bride of New Funk Hipopera” and she surely lives up to that title with her fusion of  hip hop, jazz, and her vocal range.

“Another Lie” was produced by Large Professor and has been described as an anthem song for females. The story of the song is something that I am sure lots of ladies have experienced. The song not only features Traedonya‘s lyrical acumen but the jazzy vibe and instrumentals will have you reminiscing of classic R&B/Jazz. It is refreshing to see a new generation add their own influences and create an entire new subgenre. That is what Traedonya has done and I look forward to hearing more.

“Another Lie” is the first song of her new EP, “High Fructose Corn Syrup” which is set to release in July. You can take a listen right here and you will be singing it in no time:

 

We will keep you updated as to the release date of the EP and will also try and get an interview with Traedonya so we can all get to know more about this sensational new artist!
