Oh Land - Son of a Gun
---------------I don't watch Kimmel, but from what I've heard he brings some decent performers to wrap up his late show. This girl in particular, Oh Land, just released her self-titled album in the U.S. and did a great job performing "Son of a Gun" on the show. Oh Land hits the mark on their electro-dance worthy beats but what makes it sound so good is an unexplainable dark quality that the music holds.

  After a successful debut at SXSW in 2009, Oh Land have slowly but surely crept her way into the limelight with the help of bloggers Perez Hilton and critics from the LA Times and Billboard. Check out her live performance (and the killer Versace dress) on Kimmel.

Major Lazer - Pon de Floor

---------------Just watch the video taken at SXSW of Major Lazer, and tell me that the crowd isn't having an amazing time. Major Lazer is as electro-dance as you could probably get, and even if your favorite musical instruments don't include mixers and turntables, this beat might change that. Hailing from Lazerville, as told by the myspace page, the digital-reggae collaboration of DJ and producers Diplo and Switch bring beats to the party that are as infectious as swine flu on a college campus. Get "Pon de Floor" from the 2009 Major Lazer album, Guns Don't Kill People...Lazers Do!

Annuals - Confessor

-----------The prog-rock band Annuals hails from Raleigh, North Carolina, and while it's not the music hot-spot of the south like Atlanta, it doesn't mean an intriguing and refreshing band can't come from it. Annuals channel an animated storybook tale from their whimsical "Confessor," retelling the hero's quest for truth, love, and sometimes true love. The band plans to take their sound to Austin Texas for the legendary SXSW festival beginning tomorrow. Wish them luck and give them a listen off their album, Such Fun.
