New Groovebug Feature: Maluca
When we have karaoke night, most people leave the room to avoid another jarring rendition of Bohemian Rhapsody- hey, it’s all about having fun right?! Luckily this week’s featured artist, Maluca, had a little more luck in the karaoke department. Diplo happened to be in the bar where Maluca worked when she held an impromptu Karaoke session. Despite her previous stage fright, a little...

Groovebug Pick: A Take Away Show
Today we’re moving away from some of our favorite new music and highlighting one of our favorite series “A Take Away Show” from French blog La Blogotheque. Some of our favorite artists have performed these take away shows and they always sound and look so beautiful. One of our favorite parts about these videos is that you get to see the bands interact and as we’re all about...

Groovebug Pick: Gotye
It’s rare, but every once in a while one of those songs comes along that we just cannot stop listening to. Like play on repeat for a month before we start to think… oh, maybe we should see what other music has come out. Since we heard (or rather, saw the video for) Gotye “Somebody that I Used to Know” feat. Kimbra, the mood of our Groovebug Spotify playlist immediately...

New Groovebug Feature: Shad
Some hip-hop artists have limited subject range and a penchant for less than PG topics (we have never even heard some of the words OFWGKTA uses). Not that we have any problem with that… BUT, it is unbelievably refreshing when an artist comes along whose subject matter transcends shit talking to issues that are universally relatable.
Shad is the son of Rwandan immingrants, and his unique...

New Groovebug Update: Twitter and Facebook...
Music is such an integral part of our lives here at Groovebug, and whether we want to admit it or not, so is social media. While we wish we could go a day without checking twitter or facebook, we love to be in the know on new music and anything else cool going on. So, today we preside over a marriage of our two favorite things: Groovebug and Social Media! (They definitely said “I...

New Groovebug Feature: Dangerbird Records
We are excited to feature Dangerbird Records on the Groovebug App for Ipad. While Dangerbird may bring to mind images of Neil Young or killer falcons (did everyone not have a traumatizing bird attack experience as a kid?), a flourishing record label is closer to reality. Dangerbird Records is an independent record label based in the musically burgeoning Silver Lake area of Los Angeles. Since...

Historic Event Series: Woodstock
While we devoted a tile to Woodstock after the app first launched, we realized that just explaining Woodstock does not do the historic event justice. So for all of you music fans, we have revised the Woodstock feature to include videos of some of the festival’s iconic performances.
Here is a taste of some of the videos included in the updated Woodstock feature:

Groovebug Pick: Lana del Rey
As we mentioned over the weekend, we’ve been seriously crushing on Lana del Rey. Considering her EP Lana Del Rey dropped today, we thought we’d pay homage to this awesome songstress. While we may not be the first one to develop a crush on this self-described gangster nancy sinatra, it’s pretty serious. It’s basically one of those crushes where your friends...

New Groovebug Feature: Casual
While most of us may think of football or basketball when it comes to competitive sports, according to this week’s featured artist, Casual, rap should be considered a competitive sport too. Those out of the hip-hop scene may equate rap battles with 8 Mile (hey, it’s a good movie) but Casual emphasizes the importance of competitive MCing in continuing to hone one’s skills as an...
