Bands to Watch 2011 :: Dodge, My Old Kentucky Blog

If you were a Sirius/XM blog radio show, which would you be? For me, most definitely My Old Kentucky Blog (as well as Aquarium Drunkard). Craig “Dodge” Lile is the founder of MOKB and Roaring Colonel Records, co-owner of Laundromatinee, and – as mentioned – is a DJ at SIRIUS XM Satellite Radio. His music sensibilities have always appealed to me and I’m happy to share his picks for the Bands to Watch in 2011.

Andy D – wild, party starter combining rap, rock, electro, and viking lore.  The latest signee to Roaring Colonel Records.

Dreamers Of The Ghetto – they’re recording now, but these guys make some amazing dream-rock and look like Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome.  I’d love to sign them as well, but I think I have some competition.  Check out their track “Phone Call”:
EMA – Erika Anderson, former one-half of The Gowns, will release her solo project debut through SOUTERRAIN TRANSMISSIONS this year. Another artist I would have loved to sign to Roaring Colonel.  I played her track “Marked” on MOKB SIRIUS XM Blog Radio for much of the year and it always elicited a great response.
Bobby a new project featuring Molly of the band Mountain Man.  Beautiful, atmospheric tunes.
Julianna Barwick will release The Magic Place through Asthmatic Kitty Records in 2011. Sure to be a beautiful album if the lead single was any indication.
