Grooveshark Artists

Grooveshark’s got a whole slew of new artist themes, including the recently launched Grooveshark Sessions from Hangout Festival! The non-profit organization, the John Lennon Educational Tour Bus, recently joined forces with Grooveshark to help sculpt the third installment of Grooveshark Sessions. Together with our audience (you!) and their resources (a top-of-the-line HD recording studio equipped with full-time sound and video engineers), we launched some pretty amazing videos featuring Dead Confederate, Matisyahu, and Katawompus.

Check out Dead Confederate’s resulting video below:

This is something we’re really excited about. As you may have seen yesterday, Grooveshark and the Black Lips have teamed up to give you a pre-release stream of the awesome new Black Lips album, Arabia Mountain. This is the 6th full-length album by the Black Lips (one of our favorites).  

Check it out before the album’s release on June 7!  Also be sure to pre-order the album, or the deluxe edition, while you’re listening.  And while you’re enjoying, check out the tour coming up (hopefully) to a venue near you.

In fun Tuesday announcements, we wanted to showcase one of our most recent partners you might run into while playing tunes on Grooveshark. Tunipop is a new way for bands to get their merch into all the different digital music services out there—just like Grooveshark.

They even put together a little video to give you an idea of how it works.

We love the idea of fans of bands seeing merch wherever they find music online, and it’s exactly the kind of cool offering to artists that we at Grooveshark love.  Check ‘em out!

Last Halloween, we had the opportunity to meet & mingle with several artists during the Fest 9 and our first annual “Grooveshark Sessions”. Around 17 artists met up with us at Medusa Studios to record one live, acoustic track and an interview to be exclusively released via Grooveshark. After months of unwinding, editing, mixing, mastering, etc. - the tracks and interviews are here!

Next is Greenland is Melting, a folk/bluegrass/punk group are similar to ours here in Gainesville, FL. I’ve been going to their shows for years now, and was lucky enough to have a first-hand peak at the outstanding growth they’ve achieved over the years through pure hard work and dedication. It was truly a pleasure inviting them to participate in this opportunity, and not just from a mom-watching-your-kid-grow-up perspective. Check out my interview below with Shaun, Karl and Will:

Next on our list is the Riot Before, a band that’s generally considered a staple at The Fest. Appropriately so, the stories they shared in this interview, their infection with the “treacherous rhythms of rock and roll”, and their we’ll-show-you-how-to-party attitude affirms their presence. And on top of all that, they’re insanely nice dudes with a thoughtful, eloquent, and carefully constructed message to share. Check out their interview below:

Up next is Big Eyes, a female-fronted garage group from Brooklyn or New Brunswick - depending on where there’s space for them to practice (in true garage fashion). Since many of us here at Groovesark are huge garage fans, it only felt appropriate to rope in the talented Big Eyes for a session. Check out the resulting interview and track recorded below:

Next is Carpenter, an indie/punk/rock foursome from Vancouver. The following interview was conducted with Daniel Sioui, who sings vocals and plays “out of tune guitar” (his words, not mine). Carpenter’s interview and sessions was especially amusing considering how hungover the group was from the night before. Luckily, we had plenty of PBR and whiskey in stock to liven the group up!
