I wouldn’t normally give a viral video star a second thought. If I’ve learned anything in this post-Web 2.0 world of ours, it’s that very few viral stars are worth a damn beyond the one impressively novel act that held the world’s attention for maybe three minutes (cough, Gotye, cough). Throw in a successful crowd-fund attempt and I’m liable to dismiss the entire thing on principle alone. (I blame the damned potato salad. You remember the potato salad. Fuck that potato salad.)
So it’s best that I didn’t know that Kawehi was a crowd-funded viral video star until after I had fallen in love with her super-smart, sorta-weird self-produced pop. This one-woman band with a gorgeous voice that complements her charm makes the kind of music that hints at a mind-blowing, game-changing future.
Show's at 8 p.m., costs $10 and Zeke Duhon and Maddy Newton open

HAPPY MONDAY MOFOS!!!! As promised, here is a new music video for ANTHEM, the first single off of my latest release, Robot Heart. Every sound you hear on ANTHEM was created solely with my vocals - hence Paul's idea behind the video:)
I realized after we finished recording the EP that all of the songs were about a Robot stealing peoples hearts and about questioning the worth of the human race as a whole. It was fucking depressing...which doesn't usually bother me, but this time, I was thirsty for something positive. And thus came the idea of ANTHEM - as a reminder that yeah, we can be assholes at times – but as a race, we are in charge of our own lives – and ultimately we can make a difference in the lives of others through generosity and compassion.
I believe in you – you are the answer, you are the truth – so whatcha gonna do?
