I set out to make a more folky mix, but couldn’t help stumbling across tons of great female vocalists who aren’t exactly Edie Brickell, but that I’m just as stoked on. Maybe Naser-Hall’s rubbing off on me. Enjoy. 01. HALF MOON RUN – “Call Me In The Afternoon” :: I know we posted about these […]

Seattle’s Ivan & Alyosha have been on quite the journey since they played our 2011 Holiday Benefit Show. They’ve received international press for their first EP Fathers Be Kind, and their debut full-length record All The Times We Had on the legendary Dualtone Records has taken over with serious promoting from KCRW and NPR. When […]

Honestly, we’re still kind of reeling from this year’s SXSW – both our day concert with Whispertown, Ivan & Alyosha, Lucuius, The Polyphonic Spree, Wild Cub, and the Very Best and our SXSW Almost Live Sessions with Noah Gundersen, The Trouble With Templeton, The Last Bison, Heartless Bastards, and Night Panther. We have many more […]

Our friend Amy who works for CMJ insisted that we hang […]

The headquarters of our office were a friend’s living room and a TGI Fridays. As that would indicate, it’s been quite enjoyable and busy. The team from […]

As you are reading this post, the Invisible Children Music team are en route to Austin, Texas, for SXSW. We’re mainly preparing for our Welcome Home SXSW Showcase – which you can find details for [HERE] – but also we’re just generally very excited for a week in Texas with some of the most promising […]

This past week, we’ve been premiering the exclusive videos taken from our 2012 Holiday Benefit Show featuring Whispertown, The Colourist, White Arrows, and DeVotchKa. The team behind the video capture – SerialBox Presents – also happen to be geniuses at live audio, and are sharing the files with us. Listen to the four live cuts […]

This marks the end of our exclusive video releases with SerialBox Presents. We could lament that it’s over, but let’s instead rejoice in what was – four incredible videos from generous, worldly artists who donated their time to play our 2012 Holiday Benefit Show. Today’s offering is of the headlining act – DeVotchKa. They are […]
