TOO MANY ZOOZ
After jamming out to the sensational Grateful Dead splendor that IS Darkstar Orchestra at the first King Street LIve event of the summer, be aware that your evening is far from over! After Darkstar has emitted their last ode to Jerrry, cruise into the Majestic Theater and groove out to the zany saxophone fronted explosion known as Too Many Zooz adn threi self-defined genre known as brass house. You can thank me later! 6/23 at Majestic Theater in Madison, WI. toomanyzooz.com

What could be more fulfilling than watching Harry Potter movies on a big screen? Having a full symphony orchestra perform the music to the movie as you watch it you say? You’re in luck!

His sound is called Acid Crunk. With genre defining tenacity, An-Ten-Nae has released several Top 10 charting “Acid Crunk compilations”, garnering over 1,000,000 downloads to date.

Sunsquabi - Deluxe Ep
Sunsquabi
Album title: Deluxe Ep
Record Label: All Good Records
Rating: 10
A Colorado trio that caught my attention with their debut album last year on GRIZ’s All Good Record label. This critically acclaimed follow up EP throws down some serious future funk beats mixed with gigantic jammy rhythmic retention. Certain to take you to your happy place and make you want more! Catch em at Shangri La Festival Sept 8-10 at Harmony Park in Minnesota.

Yak Attack - The Radiant Kind
Yak Attack
Album title: The Radiant Kind
Record Label: Yak Attack
Rating: 9
Livetronica trios that pump out handsomely fresh bumps, funk and jazzy downtempo flips and slips are one of my fave things. Fling yourself onto the dance floor when this Portland crew swings through your town and their motivational beats spring from the speakers and into your hearts.
