BAMM.tv presents: Miho Wada

We’ve all been stuck. More specifically--more interestingly--we’ve all been stuck musically. We resort back to the same artists. The same songs. The same five minute guitar solo. We hear the same ideas, and they are comforting. An old t-shirt. We crap on radio stations for playing their same 100 songs, then we do the same thing with our iPod.

I’ve yet to meet Miho Wada, BAMM.tv’s artist featured on our live stream today at 3 PM (Pacific Time), but I am impressed with her for the simple fact that she’s not a stuck musician. She’s a severely talented, classically trained flutist. She’s traveled the world--Cuba, New Zealand, London, Japan--incorporating different theory into her playing and composition. She is what I want to think of when I hear the term “World Music” instead of Timothy Robbins’ character in the film High Fidelity.

Whether her music feels like an old t-shirt or not, I encourage you to try it on today. Your old music has pit stains anyway.

Allofasudden in studio

Allofasudden (San Francisco, CA) serves as a great reminder of the versatile power of the almighty guitar. There are a lot of elements to like in this slightly psychedelic band, but it's their refusal to be content with one sound that makes them a band to come back to. Although "Appear," their 2008 album, succeeds in capturing the signature of the band, they are indeed a band that must be seen live to fully appreciate their jam and improvisational prowess. BAMM.tv is excited to have them performing a live stream on Wednesday. Details below.

Ash Reiter to Perform on BAMM.tv

Ash Reiter (San Francisco, CA) has been roundly praised for many elements of her songwriting and performing. Whether it's her crooning voice, her lyrics, or her vintage pop sensibility—the point is you want to hear more from her. Her songs have a wit and ease about them that can't be faked.

Reiter and her band will come by the Bricks and Mortar studio tomorrow (Wednesday, May 26) to perform for a live stream starting at 8 PM. Tune in here and be sure to check out tracks from her new album. You can see her live Thursday night (May 27) at Milk Bar.
