(Finished May 11th, 2018) Chicks That Rock 2015 to Now, Part 2

Hello,

This blog features the talents of Meg Myers, from her 2015 CD "Sorry". Myers also has a new CD, "Take Me To The Disco" which is out on July 20th, 2018.

"Sorry":

"Desire":

"Lemon Eyes":

"Feather":

The first single from Myers new CD, "Numb":

Another band being featured on this blog is Dead Sara, they released "Pleased To Meet You" on March 31st, 2015. Also in 2015 they released their cover of Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box". Now 3 years later they'll be releasing a new CD soon, it's titled "Temporary Things Taking Up Space". 

"Heaven's Got A Back Door":

"Unamerican":

"Heart Shaped Box":

"Suicidal":

"Mona Lisa":



"Radio One Two":

Deap Vally, which is an incredibly easy band name to misspell, is a band I hadn't heard of until I started working on these Chicks That Rock blogs. Their 2016 CD, "Femejism", was released on September 16th, 2016. Deap Vally is one of those bands I talk about a lot. They're a great band that I had never heard of before this. Now I'm a big fan and this band proves what I've said a lot. Even when you think the current music is terrible, there's always a good band out there. You just have to find it. That may not be easy, but it certainly is worth it. That's one of the reasons I write this blog, I hope to share the great music I've discovered. And please feel free to do the same with me. I think this band has a lot of potential, but yes they're very raw now.

"Smile More":



"Bubble Baby":



"Julian":

(Finished March 3rd, 2019) SLC P!nk Concert Preview

Hello,

Alecia Beth Moore, aka P!nk, was born on September 8th, 2017. P!nk broke out in 2002 with her second CD "Missundaztood". That CD was highlighted by "Get This Party Started", "Don't Let Me Get Me" and "Just Like A Pill". P!nk released a new CD, "Beautiful Trauma" on October 13th, 2017.

On May 9th, 2018 - it's 2018 already?- I'll be going to see P!nk in concert Wednesday night. I'm so excited to see her again. I saw her at the very start of her career, back when "Get This Party Started" was blowing up. She was amazing the first time I saw her and expect more of the same this time. This was her setlist at her last concert with a setlist at setlist.fm. That was her May 1st concert in Dallas.

The things you discover when you blog. This is the grand Bond dame, Shirley Bassey's cover of "Get This Party Started":

1) "Get The Party Started":

2) "Beautiful Trauma/ Just Like A Pill":

3) "Just Like A Pill":

4) "Who Knew":

I could live without this song in her set, I would much prefer "Missunderstood". 5) "Revenge":

This is the better sounding studio version:

6) "Funhouse/Just A Girl":

7) "Smells Like Teen Spirit":



8) "Try":



9) Featuring Nate Ruess "Just Give Me A Reason":



10) "I'm Not Dead":

(Finished May 7th, 2018) Chicks That Rock 2015 to Now, Part 1

Hello,

There's just something about a chick that rocks. The hard crunching song with a piercing women's voice riding over the music is amazing. Some of these bands you already know and love and some aren't as well known. Thanks to Google Play for giving me a heads up on some of these bands.

I wouldn't say that Dua Lipa is a natural rocker, but she does have some songs that rock. I've been wearing out this CD for my drive music lately. Her self-titled CD was released in 2017.

"IDGAF":

"Blow Your Mind (Mwah)":



"Hotter Than Hell":

Florence + The Machine's "High As Hope" will be released on June 29th, 2018.

"Hunger":

Pink released "Beautiful Trauma" in 2017.

"What About Us":



"Where We Go":

The Pretty Reckless "Who You Selling For" was released in 2016.
