Bad Boy Presents: Los King & Hi-Rez
June 7, 2013 - 7pm
It is funny how things come full circle. After parting ways with Bad Boy in 2008, then spending the last few years building his brand on the Internet, Baltimore freestyle king Los is back on the Bad Boy roster. Diddy also recently signed young talent in French Montana and Machine Gun Kelly. The Bad Boy Records CEO said he is looking to stay with the youth movement, announcing the signing in a recent interview with MTV News. “It's time for a whole new generation; it's time for a whole new movement. So we got [Machine Gun Kelly], French Montana, Red Café; we got Cassie. We also have a new artist named Los that we signed. It's official," Diddy told MTV's Sway Calloway.

Boondock Brothers Review
February 11, 2013 - 5pm
On Sunday, February 13, I had the privilege to sit down and listen to a few artists at Porter's Pub on our glorious UCSD campus. If you have never been, shame on you. It's a cool place, with some good beer and a nice stage. This show was far from packed, but it was free. It was definitely worth it. How can I complain to a free show? I really can't. I went for the music, had a beer, and left with a smile on my face. The opening singer, Raquel Frischmann, opened up with some relaxing but powerful tunes. She really does have a beautiful voice. Powerful, but not perfect, and that's exactly how it should be. Sang a few covers and some songs of her own, and looked good doing it. The headliner, I suppose, came on and proceeded to rock a lot harder than I thought was going to happen. The Boondock Brothers just dropped a new album, and were ready to show it off. A local San Diego band you may or may not of heard of, just one guitarist/vocalist named Michael Schenk, a basist Shawn Peters, and their drummer, Alberto Sandoval. Fairly young, yet skilled musicians. I sure didn't mind hearing them play their tunes, while mixing some Jack White covers in there. I talked to all the artists after the show, and was pretty impressed. Raquel, at 19, definitely reflected her age. She seemed like a sweetheart, but a little nervous. And that voice she has is pretty haunting. If she could get some musicians backing her up, I could see a more Paramore-esque tracks being made by her. The Boondock Brothers formed a year ago, and their bassist picked up the bass 6 months ago just for this project. That was not reflected in their performance. A young sound, maybe, but overall enjoyable. Bluesy-rock for days, which is right up my alley. Give them a few more years and I'm sure the sound will evolve into something you should check out. Anyway, the show at Porter's was nice for a relaxing Sunday. To anyone reading this, you should check out our website more often. Why miss out on a free show?
