Bliss N Eso Live In Vancouver

Bliss N Eso are not your average Hip-Hop group. From Sydney, Australia, Bliss N Eso have been crafting catchy hip hop songs for over 10 years. Their most recent album Flying Colors is a testament to the quality of hip hop coming out of Australia.
With three albums to their name and an array of singles and awards, Bliss N Eso are known most for their captivating live performances. After the Hilltop Hoods, Bliss N Eso are the second Australian Hip Hop group to grace the shores of Canada. This is an opportunity not to be missed as I am sure it will be a while before they are here again. But this won't be the last time you hear of the Bliss N Eso boys.

Muscles...Manhood

Melbourne artists Muscles has been on the radar ever since 'Ice Cream' became one of the hit tracks of ol' Summer '07. Since then he's garnered a large following on his home turf, performing with mash-up master Girl Talk, who told me he was amazed at how everybody in the crowd sang along to every song. This is largley due to Australian radio station, Triple J, who play a large role in promoting Aussie artists both at home and away. They continue to hype Muscles with some recordings of an acoustic set done this week in Sydney. This seems to coincide with the new Muscles Manhood website, which will provide teasers and previews of his new album which will be out in 2009.

For a good time right now, pick up his "Guns Babes Lemonade" Album.

New Music: The Racoons

We've seen plenty of quality indie rock bands come out of Victoria, BC in the last few years. Mother Mother, and Wolf Parade (though they'd like you to think their from Montreal) to name a few. The Racoons are the next of these West Coast bands to catch the attention of indie hipsters, and labels, across the nation. While playing shows consistently on their home turf over the past few years, 'The Racoons' drastically changed their sound for the better. Lets call it, honing their craft. Lately, they have quietly been writing and recording some of the catchiest stuff I've heard since 'Apologies to Queen Mary'. 'Be My Television' is my favorite of their early recordings with catchy hooks and some horns to top it off.

Keep your eyes on the upcoming shows to see when The Racoons hit Vancouver.

Bag Raiders

Bag Raiders have dropped some great remixes of some of their fellow Aussie mates in the past, as well as putting out their own breed of electro synth dance music. You may recognise their remix of K.I.M while channel surfing in GTA IV. Currently wrapping up a slew of tour dates around Australia and Japan, and backed by the Bang Gang crew, I'd expect to see some shows popping up in North America soon enough. Count me in. Bag Raiders continue to impress with their most recent tracks that are floating around the blogosphere.

Bag Raiders - Shooting Stars

Bag Raiders - Turbo Love

D-Sisive

D-Sisive, whose real name is Derek Christoff, was born in Toronto, Canada and first started performing at age 16 in 1996.
He cites everyone from Brian Wilson to Big Pun as influences. He disappeared from the scene in early 2002 only to return in early 2008 with his Ep "The Book". His LP "Let the Children Die" is set for release in February '09 on UrbNet Records.
His material is hauntingly personal and incredibly raw describing his mother's battle with cancer and his fathers struggle with alcohol.
Although he does maintain a dark sense of humor on tracks such as ThisIsWhatItSoundsLike WhenWhiteboysListenToHipHop, where he raps about his father telling him to pull his sagging pants up and asking "did Treach(Naughty By Nature) have to pull his pants up?" Definitely a conversation I can relate to.

D-Sisive plays the Modern in Vancouver on Nov. 17th with Moka Only.

The Jump Off - Welcome to Juice Music Online

Greetings to all you people on the interweb. Today marks the start of the Juice Media Blog. Now you are probably asking yourself, 'what's Juice media and why would it need a blog?'. These would be fair questions. The Juice Media Team is the coming together of music journalists, videographers, and industry professionals in the Vancouver area, who offer to promote new and upcoming musicians by means of creating custom press kits.

This can be used for websites, venue and press solicitations, the possibilities are endless! To get the full skinny on all of Juice Media's services, email us and we will send you more information.

Now, as for the blog. It serves as a forum to display the work we have done. To you the bands, as well as to the fans. In addition to this, we are fairly web savy bloggers who like to keep up on the current music scene in general, so you can expect to see posts and interviews of that nature in the future. So until next time kids!
