A classical music prodigy, Xia Xia has been traveling around the world with her violin performing for a wide variety of audiences. From a distinguished scholar at Royal Academy of Music in London, to Doctor of Musical Arts at age 27, she has been awarded numerous awards around the globe.

If You’re A Rock Or Fall Out Boy Fan, Get Some Free Music On Spotify Of Brian Mcshea And The Sidemen

BRIAN McSHEA AND THE SIDEMEN

A lot of songs you listen to, you may only play once, but with Brian McShea and The Sidemen you just can’t get enough of a good thing.  They just released 3 singles off their new album (which is coming out later this month).  The first one “We Don’t Wanna Hear About it” is one of those songs – it was recommended by Noisetrade so of course, grabbed a free download. 

Not since I wore out my Fall Out Boys download of the track, The Last of The Real Ones, have I played the crap out a song like this one.  Seems like everytime I listen I hear a new note from the trombone or sax or interpret something new about the lyrics.  Their next single “Stephanie” – again a great tune and the most recent release one “You’re Famous Mr. Davis” (this one has an interesting true story behind it – google it!) became available on Spotify.  I loved Stephanie – Mr. Davis I wasn’t so sure about but the more I listen, the more I like it!  It’s definitely a departure from the other 2 in terms of style.  You can get a free download of all 3 at Noisetrade or you can stream ‘em on Spotify .

So if you’re into big bands (7 pieces to be exact!) with a big sound or if you like bands like Fall Out Boy, Foo Fighters and the likes, you owe it to yourself to check out Brian McShea and The Sidemen at: www.BrianMcSheaAndTheSidemen .
