8. “It’s Time” – Imagine Dragons

Probably the most exciting thing to happen this year is my involvement with High Voltage Magazine which began publishing print issues again in the Fall. This marks the first time my writing has been published in the music world! Getting advanced copies of albums, being put on the list for shows, writing album and show reviews that actually get looked at, throwing AWESOME parties, and working with and meeting truly amazing people…these are all things that have now become a regular part of my life and I love it…SO MUCH.  I’m currently writing a feature on Imagine Dragons for the next issue. I asked singer, Dan Reynolds, which one Imagine Dragons song he’d share with the uninitiated. He said “It’s Time,” so here it is!

Kristen’s ’10 Mix – Track 15 – Egyptian

15. “Colorblind” – Egyptian

check out the song (and others) here…

Lots of exciting things happened in the Nico Vega universe this year. I had the crazy amazing opportunity to be an extra in Nico Vega’s  music video for “Gravity”, their Halloween show “Witch Hunt” included the most dramatic opening for “Beast” ever seen, and they started releasing new music (well, covers of old music, but still). The lead singer of Nico Vega, Aja Volkman, started a side project this year with the singer of Imagine Dragons, Dan Reynolds. They call themselves Egyptian. They are also fantastic. I immediately fell in love with them and especially their song “Colorblind”

Instead of burdening you with my hundreds of Nico Vega pictures, I’ll just entertain you with some Egyptian videos…let the extreme cuteness unfold…

New Band Alert! Egyptian

Posted on by Kristen

What happens when two of the sexiest, most captivating singers I know get together to make music? That would be Egyptian, a musical endeavor featuring Aja Volkman (Nico Vega) and Dan Reynolds (Imagine Dragons).

Egyptian doesn’t really sound like either Nico Vega or Imagine Dragons…it’s not so much a band as it is two brilliant vocalists having fun with a keyboard. For those of you who have discovered Aja’s “Stick of Wax” video(as we did), I’d think more in that direction.

I’m not sure what the intentions are here with this side project, but they have quite a few songs up on their myspace. I’ve been listening all day and now consider myself a fan…definately putting this duo on my “watch” list. I just needed to share!
