BEHIND THE SCENES WITH: Wild Belle

We were so taken by the brother/sister duo that is Wild Belle. As if their music, wonderfully mellow and sultry, wasn't enough, the siblings are also outrageously charming. We met up with Wild Belle on the porch of the Moonshine Cafe. The two musicians sat back in rocking chairs, perched perfectly in the sun. We talked about inspiration and how the two got their start singing in Church at a young age. Far from prim and proper church tunes, Wild Belle's reggae/soul fusion could make the most rigid audiences move their bodies. We also talked SXSW crushes, causing Natalie Bergman to blush as she told us about a certain drummer she had noticed...but don't worry Natalie, your secret is safe with us.

To watch the exclusive head over to the Arcade!

BEHIND THE SCENES WITH: Ramona Falls

Our shoot with Ramona Falls could not have been more fun. They showed up with their guitars and asked if they could do an impromptu live performance just for us, obviously, as you could imagine we said YES! Set on the amazing roof deck of the W Hotel, we settled in to listen to the sweet tunes of Ramona Falls. We kept on popping up in the mirror behind the two gentleman. When we stopped to re-shoot, Brent Knopf requested that we kept it the way it was. "I like the idea of you guys just randomly popping up there," he said laughing. So there you go Brent, there we are. Watch the live performance here. 

Stay tuned for the full interview to come!

Our very talented friend and director Taylor Toole put this UNBELIEVABLE video together following the first show at Union Hall. I'd like to believe we're as awesome as Taylor made us look in this video (HA!). You should probably just come to our next show (hint, hint) to find out...
