i love laetitia and we all should love on her

 

lætitia is the best and there's a new album in the works rn i believe, get amped ! also just announced a bunch of tour dates with 100% (elaiza from crying) and real life buildings

also recent discoveries:

Relatable Web Content, by coping skills

 

coping skills is such a fun band, especially live

 

yeah think it's really encouraging to see some more & more queer bands having fun. i definitely love a lot of the darker, more serious stuff but its nice to start seeing the other side too

 

lol it was a show full of high schoolers and they played "i should have dropped out of college" and it was hilarious

 

If you like, check out the album Secretly Susan !

Also fantastic video:

I was really close to making an Asian American Musicians thread, had no idea this one existed.

bump.

I just came across Run River North and noticed I went to school with their pianist haha

Thao Nguyen and Mitski were mentioned already.
I don't think Meg and Dia was mentioned yet.

Also:
Priscilla Ahn
Norah Jones
Rachael Yamagata
Jhene Aiko
Kina Grannis
a bunch of other YouTube people...

Just realized most of my list so far are Hapa and/or female. Maybe it's a genre thing. There's hip hop artists like Far East Movement, Dumbfounded, and Timothy Delaghetto, but I never really listened to them.

Grace Kelly was performing with Jon Batiste and Stay Human on the Late Show for a while.

 

Owel too!!!

 

some others
Amerie
Karen O
Deerhoof
Shonen Knife

 

Checking them out now

Which reminds me, Kenny Choi from Daphne Loves Derby is Asian as well.
