I recently was cruising through some of the artists on our “you need to check out” section (to the right). There’s a lot of great music on there, and today we’re going to highlight 3 degrees of Kevin Bacon collaboration on 3 great artists you need to check out. Sliggitay (Bay Area) to Grizzly Bear (Brooklyn) to The Soundmen (NYC).
I was pumped to hit up Sliggitay’s Myspace page and find a remix of Grizzly Bear – Two Weeks. DA from Chester French put me on to Sliggitay. As you’ll see very soon, DA shouts him out in his interview with thebandaidz.com. Sliggitay has an extremely original sound. Combine that with complex rhyme schemes, and unique patterns. He’s exactly the fresh Left Coast sound that Hip Hop needs right now. Sliggitay’s written’s are bound to catch America’s ears in the next 365 days.
Grizzly Bear was just featured in our post from yesterday on awesome new artists from Brooklyn. If you haven’t heard of them, you will. They have also been featured on our “you need to check out” section for quite some time now.
If you look back to our September Archives, you’ll see our post on The Soundmen’s mash-up of Two Weeks and Lil Wayne. We also just featured their new Britney Remix, and had one half of the production duo that is The Soundmen, DJ Scott Durday, spinning at our show at The Canteen. We can’t say enough out about these guys, and the music they put out, be sure to check out their blog for new and old tracks.
So there is a slice of Kevin Bacon for you. All three of these artist are Bandaidz favorites. Check in often for updates on these and other talented musicians on their way up. If you liked them, then you’ll like more artists on our “you need to check out” section, so show them some love too.
