An OYGF Introduction: GRANT

playing on: Sunday

Grant Peyton is a 16 year old producer grinding around Orlando. 16 years old, when you were busy trying to get your parents to drop you off at the mall after your orthodontist appointment, Grant here, is beginning to implant himself into the beat scene. Discovering the genre only after being roped into making some beats for a friend to rap off of, he’s already given us a 6 song album ‘reMIXTAPE’ and now a spot on the OYGF bill. Be sure to catch him, and say hi! because we’ll be there!

Start you migrations! Orange You Glad Music Fest is back in Orlando on March 8-11, preshow on the 7th. The city will be alive with music makers and lovers alike, where will you be? The festival is reigning in acts such as The Cults, Tennis, Everything Is Terrible, Grimes, Born Gold and a million other acts (maybe a little less than a million) you wish you could see in person. Who else will be there in person? Coquette Waves! We will be converging upon that city to celebrate these days of auditory bliss with you! 

OYGF is intent on sampling you to the culture that is Orlando. With artists yielded from their very backyards that wont stay there for long, to acts you’ve heard your little sister singing along to on the radio. OYGF is also highlighting the facets of this budding community (centered on one portion of the city per night) with showcases being held in local venues, coffeehouses, record stores,pubs and probably anywhere in between. The spaces in between such locations will be filled with local vendors, caterers, and artists. 

CW is simply in love with the gameplan for this event, and we want you to feel it too! We’ll be highlighting the many acts and attractions that you can catch that week/weekend right here! If you’re not already dying to go, that means you probably have the personality of my rug (which is cold and soaked in puppy urine) and if that’s the case, you’re more than welcome to stay home. But if you’re reading Coquette Waves, its a given that you’re probably pretty rad. So you’ve still got time to clear your calendar for those days (sick days?) and spend these days with real good music and real good people. And when you finally realize you can come, hey, let us know at coquettewaves@gmail.com! We don’t want to be lonely out-of-towners either!

A weekend pass is $30, c’mon, you can practically pay that in quarters.

Get started with OYGF’s very own festival playlist!

@kamkamaband

Indiana has brought us many things. The first goldfish farm, bearberry (not burberry), David Letterman, and now this; Kam Kama. This jumpy little five-piece is swell, when they take their post-punk songs and chill them down into a whining guitar string its smile-inducing. And all with a voice so suave I wish he’d call and leave me voicemails. Enjoy their album ‘The Tilted House’ like I know you will. and download two of their songs for free right here!

@magneticband Before actually listening to Magnetic Island’s music, I went on their Facebook and saw Alyse from EULA had already liked the page. That was an instant seller. Let’s face it, who doesn’t like making little connections?

Magnetic Island is a Brooklyn rock experimental band. They’re fuzzy and weird, kind of like a vintage stuffed animal from you’re neighbor’s garage sale. You know, that crazy old but extremely handsome man next door. From their self titled debut album, “The Space” is a dissonant banger with amped guitars and a steady chant. The albums reminds us of something your neighbor listened to during his confused teenage years. We love it. Take a visit to their bandcamp for more garage jams.

@madamtrashy Beautiful girls, handsome men, dirty dancing and trashy makeup, these are the visual elements in “Book of Dead”. As if their band name doesn’t already stimulate inappropriate thoughts, Brooklyn’s Madam Trashy is everything you don’t want your mothers listening to. They are rock and roll to the filthiest degree.

Madam Trashy has a weekly residency at Spike Hill and you can catch them this Friday!

Seductive.

Okay, now I like you. 

“Shiny Things” (Yeasayer Remix)

Fanfarlo

Good Evening! Are you looking for something to enlighten your ears with? Tonight’s offering is from an indie rock/punk/alternative band, The Active Set. Their music is a demonstration of 4 assembled men, exploring the highs and lows of captivating soundscapes. These LA boys just released an album titled 11. At times, they sound like The Cribs and at times, they sound like a bizarre punk meets chillwave combination. Needless to say, we have no complaints. You can get the album from their bandcamp. I chose to post “Bedtime Stories” because, well, it’s kind of that time of the night. Enjoy!

Don’t forget, we love submissions. This is a much delayed response but thanks Steve!

Who’s ready for some sloppy american rock? Something your dad would nod in approval too. Welcome The Woolly Bushmen with Look What You’re Doing To Me.

They channel 50s 60s rock with such ease its almost time traveling. The song in itself is a joy. Every girl wants a song like this to be about them. I for one know a few people I would like to email this to reading, “this song is dedicated to you dedicating this song to me” haha. And now I have to wait 4 weeks to see them at Orlando’s Orange You Glad Festival. Will I see you there too? If you mention Coquette Waves i’ll let you buy me a drink.

Miami- based DJs, Bats and Juan Basshead come together on Let The Music Play

Knowing both of them as previously separate entities its easy to identify their different sounds, and even more impressive to see them fuse together on this track. If you get to know them you’ll know what I mean. Check out Bats and Juan Basshead

This boy is amazing. I wish i held his hand while in interviewed him. 

ahhhh #ForeverRegret

The full EP drops Feb 14th from Skrillex’s label OWSLA. Until then, keep youtubing cats

Bad Kids by Black Lips

As a writer I can get a little diva-y when bands get fickle about press, but its all trivial since i’m rendered useless as soon as I hear one of their songs. Case and point; Black Lips. God, as soon as I hear this song I forget everything. Thank goodness it’s a sing-a-long video! If your feet aren’t tapping along, well, then you don’t deserve feet! saw them off!
