Video: Sonny & the Sunsets on Chasing the Moon
April 1, 2011
Best Chasing the Moon video to date? That’s my take. In the warm, intimate confines of the CtM studio, Sonny and his band offer up a sneak peak of Hit After Hit, out 4/12. If you weren’t sufficiently geeked about this album, you will be after seeing this video.
See the band at Amnesia this Saturday night.

Video: Ever Isles @ Chasing the Moon
February 24, 2011
Ever Isles @ Chasing The Moon from Scott McDowell on Vimeo.
It’s hard to stump music bloggers with new bands on their own turf, but Chasing the Moon’s latest podcast guest Ever Isles is one that none of us over at The Bay Bridged was familiar with (though we spotted the lovely vocalist Kacey Johansing sitting on the studio floor). With no pretense, the session is full of gorgeous vocal harmony and set in an indoor forest that seems to capture the magic of this live performance perfectly. Hear more Ever Isles recordings from fall of last year on their Bandcamp site.
Produced by Elijiah Pahati and Scott McDowell.

Video: Sea of Bees @ Chasing the Moon
January 28, 2011
Sea Of Bees @ Chasing The Moon from Scott McDowell on Vimeo.
Chasing the Moon is a video podcast series best known for capturing delicately precious moments between musicians, and the latest CTM session features Sacramento’s quickly rising Sea of Bees. Finding lead lady Jules cross-legged on the floor with a keyboard definitely sets this apart from most Sea of Bees performances; in addition, the set brings out the enchanting melodrama of the band’s remarkable 2010 debut, Songs for the Ravens (Crossbill Records).
Setlist:
1. “Gnomes”
2. “Strikefoot”
3. “It Won’t Be Long”

Tartufi is a very busy band. They co-organize awesome music festivals. They teach kids how to rock. They go on national tours. Still, they somehow find time to come into our studio and perform amazing jams like this. We hope you love it as much as we do.

Bart Davenport @ Chasing the Moon 07.25.10

[media id=37 width=530 height=300]
Many of you already know how special a solo performance from Bart Davenport feels. When Bart told us he was bringing his band into the studio, we had no idea how lucky we were. Turns out – they’re amazing! Bart already has tons of style, and with the band, he steps it up so much more while still maintaining his intimate signature sound.

The California Honeydrops @ Chasing the Moon 06.26.10
July 2, 2010
[media id=36 width=530 height=300]
This band is world class fresh! The California Honeydrops are the real deal: transforming any dull scene into a world class dance party. Lech Wierzynski leads a killer band that includes pianist Chris Burns, drummer Ben Malament, bass player Seth Ford-Young, and saxophonist Johnny Bones. Working on this episode was especially tough because none of us could stay seated during the editing/mixing.
