New Noise Music Conference runs November 4th-6th, 2010

New Noise Santa Barbara is a three-day music and digital media conference that will showcase emerging and established bands, host educational panels on the music industry’s hottest topics, present esteemed experts from all walks of the business, and serve as a place for players big and small to connect and plot the future of sound.

The line-up can be viewed here.

Every once in a while a left- of- center indie band creates a buzz and are surrounded by
New York/ Los Angeles music labels and managers.

As of now, the 6 piece Seattle folk/rock act The Head and the Heart have created the industry buzz.

They recently opened up for Vampire Weekend at Seattle’s Paramount Theatre and are still available for a recording deal, but will most likely secure a deal shortly due to the feeding frenzy.

Will The Head and the Heart live up to the hype and stake their position as the next
Arcade Fire?

Listen to the track Cats and Dogs.
