LA bluegrass punk band plays in the river

Image
 LA bluegrass punk band plays in the river. Water Tower used to be a Portland band, until they moved to Los Angeles. We have the debut of their LA River Bed performance! The first song in this two-song medley is "Town" which is about the need to leave a town. In this specific instance, the song is referring to leaving Portland Oregon.  The second song is a Spacemen 3 Cover song called "Come Down Easy."   What do you think about the weird affects on the video?  I think it kinda makes me dizzy at the start, but after that everything feels mellow again. 

Cowbody In A Gadda Da Vida

A Cowboy version of "In A Gadda Da Vida"   is what I think of when I first heard the Debut album from cowboy musicians Baxter Elkins. For those who are not familiar with Iron Butterfly and their 17 minute long psychedelic rock opus, click HERE.  The duo is made up of the surfing singer/songwriter Jordan Hook, and powerhouse musician  Bar Jay Bar  aka Joey "Juice" Berglund.  So who is Baxter Elkins?  Allow Jordan to explain: I love their creativity.   Have you ever seen a band like this?  (answer in comments below if you have/haven't) The boys both play in the west coast bluegrass/punk band Water Tower .  They have a knack for creating content that demands the attention of the viewer. Their newest commercial highlights the iconic scene in the movie "Office Space" except instead of beating up a printer, they are destroying copies of their brand new album. I love artists who do not take themselves TOO seriously.  A great son...
