I know I just did a post about my current spring playlist but I got to also share my love for the DIY scene. My current favorite underdogs of the year are...
Dead Poet Society
The first time I heard these guys was last month, they did a show with Andres to kick off his tour. From the first time I heard them I knew they had that "IT" factor about them. I can totally hear their songs on the radio, like KROQ. These guys are so talented and just catch everyone's attention in the room. These guys will totally make it big.
They're heading out on tour next month to Mexico but they are always performing around the Los Angeles area. Just check out their Facebook for more show details, trust me you won't be disappointed. New song "One Month" on Spotify now.
All their social is linked below, so give them a follow.

Andres
Not only is Andres a friend but he is hardworking and a passionate musician. If your looking for something you can dance too, he is the perfect combination of edgy pop, yet a style that's all his own, it will get your body moving.
He just released his album Strange Memories on this Nervous Night featuring "Salty" and "Darth Binks" which are my favorites. I also had the pleasure of working with him on his music video for "Salty" which was released in February. Check it out below.
Upcoming Shows:
April 14th - Placerville @ PJ Roadhouse
April 15th - Chico
April 28th - Sacramento @ Colonial Cafe
Don't forget to give him a follow on Facebook, Bandcamp, Twitter and Spotify

This artist I came across online and for some reason I decided to give him a listen and I'm happy I did. He's music is a combination of John Mayer and Imagine Dragons. It's a soulful pop that is easy to listen too.
Last month I saw him live at Hotel Cafe in Los Angeles, which he sold out, and I was pleasantly surprised. Live he is just as good as the recordings and everyone in the audience was totally into it.
He has a few shows coming up, one at the end of the month in Los Angeles again at Hotel Cafe and May in San Luis Obispo.
Go check him out on Instagram, Youtube, Bandcamp and Spotify
