Sleeptalk release new music video for their song, Black Hole

August 25, 2015

Space rock quintet Sleeptalk have just released a new music video for their song “Black Hole”. The video was directed by Strange Productionsand shot by Wolford Media. Vocalist Anthony Fitzpatrick comments, ‘”Black Hole is about being so far from reality that you have to leave, but there is that someone you love and care about that you don’t want to leave behind. Throughout the song I am constantly using the metaphor of being lost in space which is where the title ‘Black Hole’ came from. Myself, as well as the rest of the band, have a huge fascination for space, so there was no hesitation in using that name/metaphor. The video is highly inspired from a movie called Enter The Void which I felt was the most honest fit to inspire this song/video around.” Check out the new video here: The song takes on a cosmic ride as you find yourself swirling in that Black Hole, grasping for bits of reality in a flood of escapism. It is a great new track and you can pick up the [Read More]

August 25, 2015

Sky White of Foxy Shazam developed his love for tasting and experiencing premium quality tea while he was busy touring the world with Foxy Shazam. His love of the tea led him to his new creative project as he sets out to share his passion for fine teas for enthusiasts and novices alike. Since launch of his independent small company, Wendigo Tea Co. it has grown immensely through a thriving online storefront, selective retail positioning and inclusion on the menus of several fine dining establishments. Sky White comments, “I started with tea just like everybody else. I drank whatever came in tea bags and bought something that looked cute on the shelf. Once I started traveling all the time and going into tea shops, I started having an appreciation for the actual flavors of good tea, instead of the flavors that people add into tea.”  I love learning about musician’s other projects and Wendigo Tea immediately captured my interest, having been a long time tea drinker. After experiencing first hand the high grade craft teas, it [Read More]

Billy explains about the album, “Initially the plan was simply to record an EP of covers, but as with everything, the plan grew.  I had a song I had written with Steve Stevens that I wanted to sing on, so that got thrown into the pot.  Erik (Eldenius) threw some ideas at me, and we started to record originals as well. My two best guitar mates from the two bands I’m in, Dave Navarro (Royal Machines and previously with Camp Freddy) [Read More]
