FREE SONG(s) ALERT Hospitality - 'Friends of Friends'/'Betty Wang'

Song #9 on my quest to share free music once a day until I run out of sources. Today's band is Hospitality

Today's post includes three songs I obtained, fortunately 2 of the 3 are still readily available FREE!

Hospitality is a guilty pleasure kind of a band. Kinda like Kimya Dawson or The Breeders; bands who aren't by far the best but just a load of fun to listen to. Ones that you keep to yourself, only to find that your friends also secretly enjoy them too!


February 1st was my quick introduction to the Brooklyn trio. Dueling downloads both included 'Friends of Friends' was my first download via an iTunes Indie Spotlight Free Download. The song is a load of fun.. I dare you to download it and not like it!

Minutes later I was downloading 'Eighth Avenue' which Amazon included amongst the February Artists on the Rise free compilation.

Hospitality - "8th Avenue" (Live at WFUV)



After checking these songs out for a few days, I dug in and went searching for more. As always, I hit up Daytrotter.com and found a brand new session.

But it was a Spin download that gave me the quirkiest of the Hospitality songs 'Betty Wang' I must warn you: 32 free songs does not equate to an overload of awesomeness. Outside of Sharon Van Etten 'Serpents' which you should have by now (Come on.. it's been free EVERYWHERE) only Hospitality stood out!

Hospitality Live - Betty Wang



If you look on Soundcloud you can find most anything, but as written previously, download only from safe sources! Instead head over to Amazon where the album is currently just $5.

New Release Q&A - Sonja Sofya answers some questions for "Patterns We Know"

The buzz has been all about Sonja Sofya and her new album The Patterns We Know .  Tonight Sonja Sofya and band take to the stage at Boot & Saddle in South Philly along with a great line-up featuring Arc Divers and the dove and the wolf. Right off the top we have some great reasons to expect great things from this album, such as produced by Ross Bellenoit at Turtle Studios and excellent musicianship by guitarist/producer Ross Bellenoit, bassist Jonathan Colman , and drummers Matt Scarano and Jonas Oesterle . But we at Root Down In The Shadow wanted to dig further and see what Sonja had to say about the album. Here's 3 questions we had for the songstress Sonja Sofya: RDITS: What was the impetus to make a full length record and why did you pick the people you worked with? At a certain point, playing and writing as much as I was, it felt like the logical next step, but I waited for a while, trying to find the "perfect" time to go into the stud...

Bands Pick The Bands - 2016 XPoNential Music Festival Presented by Subaru - Artists Preview

Wooo Hooooo It's XPoNential Fest Time!!!!  Every year WXPN brings a ton of great bands and artists to the Wiggins Park shore in Camden, NJ.  With so many bands on the line-up it's daunting to figure out which bands to see.  Fortunately, the way WXPN does the line-ups you CAN make it to every band should you choose.  However, we all know it's going to be hot as hell.  Not quite as hot as 2011 with the 100 degree days, but still super hot.   Luckily for us, some of the festival performers have put in their two cents for which bands they are excited about. Rosemary Fiki   starts the fest at 4pm today on the JerseyArts.Com Marina Stage. Let's see what she's recommending: Band Most Excited to Share the Festival Stage with : This is our first time time performing at XPoNential so to be completely honest, I'm super stoked to share the Festival stage with everyone! If I absolutely had to choose, I would say The Districts. We actually share...

New Chris Kasper single - City By the Sea

Here's a wonderfully bluesy tease to the upcoming Chris Kasper album.   New single "City By The Sea", is just enough to keep fans from getting restless, while he tours with Carsie Blanton along the West Coast.  Hopefully there will be some local dates soon, as 2017 seems so far off right now.
