VIDEO: Hey Ya by Casey Shea, Kyle Ervin & Ryan

Last Tuesday (8/21) Engine Room Recordings threw a launch party for the soon to be released Guilt By Association compilation album (09/04). The party was part of the weekly concert series Cross-Pollination at Pianos in the Lower East Side of NYC. Casey Shea and Kyle Ervin picked the ever loved 'Hey Ya' (Outkast) as their cover of choice and recruited Ryan Vaughn on percussion. Stick around til after the first verse when the girl in front of the camera moves out of the way and crowd tunes in and erupted in a rapture sing-a-long and fascination with Casey's dancemoves and exclamation: "Shake it little bitch".

Balloons + Jukebox + Ghosts = Yay!

LISTEN Jukebox The Ghost - Good Day (MySpace)

This weekend I went to Washington DC for Jukebox The Ghost's EP Release party at the Black Cat. The EP is the latest Family Records release, this one in tandem with This Side Up Sounds. The show was phenomenal, the EP is great. You will hear more about them soon. Much more.

This is the band with some balloons.


This is me with the balloons we found at a car dealership and then were allowed to drag into the venue for the show.
