About Purple Melon:
Influenced by quintessential Brit Rock, this young band’s melodies have pushed them to the forefront of up and coming bands and were recently named No.2 in Billboards hot new sounds.

Purple Melon first made a name for themselves playing at London’s legendary Troubadour Club and the 100 club before relocating to America.

The band has evolved through their extensive performances from London to the west coast of USA, selling out venues like the Roxy theatre and the infamous Viper Room.

British with attitude they took their bohemian style and added grit from the clubs they have played and have a developed a unique Brit rock sound.

The band has been featured on AOL Sessions, MTV, KTLA, Hit Music Central, played at SXSW and are headlining the Viper Room for the Sunset Music Festival in Los Angeles. Purple Melon are busy in the studio, finishing their much anticipated album and getting ready to hit the road.

 

About Lady Sinatra:

“Welcome to the most exciting 28 minutes of your pathetic little lives!”

Most Lady Sinatra shows begin this way, with frontman Joseph “Bunny” Holiday giving only a subtle warning what’s to come during their always short but not-so-sweet set. What follows is usually a display of loud, obnoxious face melting, no bullshit rock music, and you just can’t look away. Maybe they look familiar to you, maybe you have seen them play with Juliette and The Licks, Veruca Salt, The Riverboat Gamblers, The Chelsea Smiles or Semi Precious Weapons. Maybe you caught them on one of their nationwide tours. Or maybe you saw them tear up The Sunset Strip Music Festival last year.

You may get lucky and leave with a bruise or a broken heart, but nothing lasts forever baby…so head on over to that merch booth and pick up their last record “Hisses and Kisses” or the debut “Couture Baby!”. Or maybe you can convince them to slip you some new songs from their forthcoming record “We’re Not Happy Til Yr Not Happy”, due in November. On vinyl.

This all sounds obnoxious, cuz it pretty much is. Go ahead, exhale. But congrats to you champ, cuz you just found yr favorite new band.

 

About eli james:

eli james is breaking boundaries as the modern one man band. He drums, he sings, he spins the tunes we all want to hear and all while providing a visual treat via a custom light show that includes his drum kit!

eli grew up in the Pacific North West moving from place to place with his brothers and father. eli would spend countless hours going to his fathers practices and rehearsals whenever he could, falling asleep in front of his fathers band rehearsals like a rock n roll lullaby. And after years of growing up in the 80s hair metal lifestyle with his father, eli realized his own destiny was in music.

In 2005, eli put himself in a position to travel all over the U.S. and Canada to write music. After a few years of traveling and creating his studio eli had the opportunity to work with Producer John Ryan (STYX, Santana, Lynard Skynard, Doobie Brothers, Seal etc), so he packed up and moved to Los Angeles where he’d meet Adam Williams (of Adam Williams Presents). In collaboration with Adam, the “Remix Drum Show” was born with eli’s custom LED Drum Kit (aka the GLO Kit) and the hottest tracks by today’s top artists. Eventually evolving this into his own solo show mixing his favorite tracks with his own original tunes, while drumming (and singing)! The DJ will never be the same again.
