Well ladies and gents, it’s time for the second installment of our lovely sit down with The guys from The Other Side of Morning. The more I listen the more I enjoy them. Getting to know them while making this video was just an added bonus in my book.
Check out this segment for the best “Rock Star Moment” and how the band got their name.
And don’t forget to come to the show tomorrow at the House of Blues on Sunset! It will rock!
I discovered The Other Side of Morning via friend recommendation. I’ve seen them several times now in various locations around LA. At their last show at The Loft (a space that serves as practice space/recording studio/art gallery/occasional bar and party space), I was accused of being addicted and…well…that’s not a difficult thing to become. Every time I see them play, I see something new. I discover a new favorite song or sound. When we were asked to do this interview I was overjoyed at the prospect of discovering even more about this new favorite band of mine.
And, in getting to know a little more about the guys, I think I fell a little more in love with the band.
So if you’re interested in how the band got its start, want to know what Beatles cover they would do, or just want to hear a bit of their music, click on the video below!
And don’t forget to come to the big show this Thursday 9pm at The House of Blues!
This week will mark the debut of LMN’s first video interview series!! Amanda came up to LA and we interviewed one of my picks for best of SXSW ’10, The Other Side of Morning! It’s been a blast getting back into the video shooting/editing/etc. game. The band has a big show coming up this Thursday at The House of Blues. They hit the stage at 9pm and I’d highly recommend being there. If you’re not yet convinced keep coming back to the site this week to check out our promos as well as interview and behind the scenes footage…I am seriously excited about this so I hope you can check it out!
IMPORTANT: if you’d like to get tickets to this show, you can get them for $10 directly from the band. Just email theothersideofmorningband@yahoo.com and ask about House of Blues tickets.

This week I write to you from San Diego. Tonight I have a ticket to go see The Silent Comedy open for Mumford & Sons. Needless to say, there is a great deal of excitement involved. Friday night The Silent Comedy played at The Royal Dive in Oceanside so I decided to make a weekend of it in San Diego. Not that it’s been all fun and games…actually it’s mostly been paper-writing, but the change of location was good I suppose. And I get to see one of my favorite bands twice! And speaking of the marvelous The Silent Comedy, they are coming back up to LA June 17th. Playing a NEW VENUE called Speakeasy over in the Silverlake area. Also playing that night: Queen Caveat! It’s gonna be a good one, so mark your calendar!

Listening to all the SXSW ’10 bands, Jonathan Tyler & the Northern Lights definitely caught my ear. I loved their song “Gypsy Woman” but was frustrated when I couldn’t find it anywhere online (so I could add it to my mix). Fortunately, they played LA Thursday night…The Viper Room. It was a typical Viper Room experience. I went by myself and since there are no walls to really melt into, it felt a bit like being the weak link in a Red Rover game most of the evening. But Jonathan et al. made it worthwhile. They play my favorite type of rock ‘n roll- with a southern flare (the band is from Texas, but its members originate from all over the southern portion of the country). Their inspiring music and invigorating live performance will definitely qualify them for a spot on my watch list. They have a CD coming out at the end of the month (April 27th) and are touring all over CA and then the south…making a stop at Bonnaroo (yay!!).
Tonight (Saturday) they will be in San Diego at The House of Blues.
If you can’t catch them live, be sure to check out their videos and live recordings on their website. I’ve been told the Viper Room show will get put up there so I’m excited to have something to listen to while I patiently wait for April 27th.
