In case you hadn’t heard, our friends at Sanuk Australiaare dishin’ out good vibes by the truckload. Every now and then, their trademark, smile-worthy ways make their way above the equator for a visit.
This summer, we had the privilege of meeting, mingling and jamming with Sanuk Australia’s beloved soloist/singer/songwriter/producer, Nick Saxon. Nick hails from Newcastle, NSW and has a sound all his own.
His rootsy, euphoric beats provide the jog for the high-spirited and soothe the souls of all. You know? The kind of stuff you’d want soundtracking your sun-soaked daydreams of an adventure “down under”.
Wouldn’tcha know, it’s been 12 months since Nick released latest album, “Hide & Seek“. Since then, Nick has been around the globe (even stopping by Sanuk HQ), to discover firsthand the “highs ‘n lows” of life as an international touring artist.
From Aukland, NZ to New York, USA & back again, Nick’s last trek sold over 3,500 copies of his album worldwide, clocked 50,000kms in travel, 200+ live shows and countless amazing encounters.
With such an incredible journey under his belt, Nick recently announced that he’ll be heading back to the studio to record a brand new EP. (Insert massive, shiny smile). Quite frankly, we’re so excited we just had to share! Kindly enjoy this sneak peak:
So you’re having a backyard barbecue. The brats, brews, and buddies are all raring to go. Heck, even your unreasonably attractive neighbors said they would stop by! Score.
But somethings missing. You need one last ingredient to make everything really click (other than your Sanuks, duh). What you need is the perfect soundtrack! Some sort of musical mojo to kick get everyone feelin’ care free.
Make room on that playlist for our pal Seth Pettersen- A good ol’ boy from Ventura, California with a sound as soothing as that aloe vera you’ll be needing after all that drunken bocce-ball…
Yep, your shindig is now in full effect. Next thing you know, day turns to night with no end in sight. Your friends make that second beer run, someone lights the bonfire and – wait a minute - is someone’s naked in the pool?! It’s a good day.
That’s right. Three different shows. Three groovy nights. All not to be missed.
We’re so excited, we made this little video just for you:
Did we mention the Sanuk crew be there with a ‘STACHE of product giveaways?
Totally Awe-thumb Tip: If you’re planning on arriving “fashionably” late- Have fun in the parking lot kicking yourself. This 175-person venue is going to fill up at lightspeed.
We’re giddy like a school of jellyfish for Donavon Frankenreiter‘s upcoming album, Glow. It’s due out October 5th via his record label, Liquid Tambourine Records.
Can you believe this is his fourth album? Neither can we. So mark your calendar and smile because Donny’s always brings the good vibes. This little gem below is the music video featured onGrindTV.comfor the single, “Glow”. Enjoy!
