Capital Cities, the virtually unknown indie pop duo act from Los Angeles who we featured in July 2011 are now everywhere. The track we featured Safe & Sound has rose to the top 8 spot on the iTunes single chart. In May 2013, “Safe and Sound” reached number one on the German Singles Chart. Upcoming tour dates can be viewed here.
19 year old singer-songwriter Raveena Aurora, a Kings favorite will perform July 28th 9 PM at Culturefix (Lower East Side), NYC. Recap: The sound of Raveena’s voice is primed for synch opportunities in film/TV. She has an upcoming collaboration with Ministry of Sound French DJ/producer Bob Sinclair (of hit “World Hold On” fame). She was recently been feted by Bill Werde of Billboard as a top 5 new artist to look out for, and iTunes featured her on its front page as a new artist to watch. She will appear and perform in the new Myspace launch this summer as a featured artist. Check out the track Grey Eyes.
