Music To Smile About At The Smiling Buddha Bar

I remember there once was a time when I wanted nothing more than to spend all my days at home, cuddling with my dog, watching The Mary Tyler Moore Show, dressed in comfy hermit attire. I’d blame this on the winter blahs but I’ve been hibernating in my red messy bedroom since last summer. Luckily, just in time, I’ve snapped out of this funky coma. I think I happened to wake up in Narnia, though, because of all this mystical music I’ve been discovering lately. This Friday, I’m in for quite the fantasy ride.

The Smiling Buddha Bar presents: Cloud Nothings, Free Kisses and Mathemagic at 9:30 p.m. Friday, March 5th.



A friend recommended Cloud Nothings and I’ve been frequenting their Myspace page listening to tracks ever since. Started by the very young (19 years old to be exact) Dylan Baldi in Ohio, Cloud Nothings is planning on sharing their stellar, lo-fi music magic with the rest of the continent – for now. What makes this band’s album Turning On worth the listen is the hyperactive guitar riffs and pulsing drums just slightly overlapping on top of Baldi’s at times forgettable voice. With this band, you can’t stop singing along but you don’t know what you’re singing along to; however, it doesn’t make the band any less fun.

By going on tour with Cloud Nothings, Free Kisses is sure to make her voice heard to those listeners that crave fresh yet delicate and airy sound. Those few, short songs uploaded on her Myspace don’t do her justice. Hopefully, it’s during her live performances when she truly shines and makes a name for herself.



After a long, hard week you just want to unwind in the sun, maybe smoke something that’s not exactly a cigarette....Mathemagic is the perfect soundtrack! Hailing from Guelph and Toronto, the unsigned brothers that are Evan and Dylan Euteneier are sure to be more recognized this year. Hopefully, they can exceed everyone’s expectations that they’re just another wannabe version of MGMT. I can’t wait for their album to come out.

    Love this! When I lost my job, I too was in a cozy coma, lying on my couch watching tv. It didn't stay very comfy though and I realized I need to get up and do something, thus my blog, lol. Thanks for the lovely comments :)
