Download :: Thunderball – “12 Mile High” (URB Exclusive) (MP3)

Smooth tempos, sitars, retro-future samples? It must be the return of Thunderball, the stylish kids from DC all grown up after half a decade spent tuning their forks as members of Fort Knox Five.

Live Review: Nite Jewel @ The Echo in LA (03.19.10)

While most were away at play in Austin over the weekend, a few of us L.A. dwellers stayed local capping the toasty week with a cozy, “liquid cool” Nite Jewel set at the Echo Friday night.
