Music from the Underground: Connie Lim

MUSIC FROM THE UNDERGROUND: Connie Lim Performs Live from KPCRadio on Vimeo.

On Music from the Underground, hosts Courtney Coles and Maurice McFarland had UC Berkeley alum, Connie Lim in the studio.

Lim started writing and playing the piano at 8 years old, with the help of her now 95-year-old piano teacher. After going through her “teenage emo angst drama,” Lim started writing full songs to music. Her motivation behind composing music is to not go crazy.

When it came to comparing the music scene in Berkeley to the music scene in Los Angeles, Lim said, “there’s a lot more dancing in the Bay area.”

Music from the Underground: Xyzyx

Yesterday on Music from the Underground, hosts Courtney Coles and Maurice McFarland, had an in-studio interview with David Daskal, the microphonist of  Xyzyx (pronounced “ziz-ix”).
When it came to describing Xyzyx’s sound, Daskal went on saying, “we’re like Weezer meets Foo Fighters with the vocals of Incubus and the stage presence of Spinal Tap.” We played their E.P, “Songs You Will Cherish for the Rest of Your Life” and ended the show with a homage to ’80s heartthrob, Kirk Cameron.
Xyzyx has a show tonight at Skinny’s in North Hollywood. The show is 21+ and $3 at the door.
If you’re unable to see them tonight, you can catch them next Tuesday, May 18, at Hollywood Billiards.
