Artist: Alex Winston

Walking past the load-in station of Milk Studios last night (April 10), the scene was calm. Post work hours, the streets were bare, aside from a small group of people smoking out front Milk's back entrance - the only indicator that the night was not over, but just beginning. Little did passersby know, a frenzy was brewing below their feet. Alex Winston was performing a special album release show in the studios basement. Two flights down, the scene quickly changed from cool and calm, to stifling and chaotic. The small room [...]

Despues de algunos pequeños retrazos con el lanzamiento del album debut de Alex Winston , "King Con" ya ha salido a la venta de manera oficial en cada uno de los formatos en los que estaba contemplado y aunque ya les he llegado a hablar un poco mas sobre este material en cuanto a que podria resultar mas como una coleccion de sencillos, sin tomar en cuenta que la mayoria de las canciones que componen este material ya las habiamos estado escuchando desde hace poco mas de 2 años, es uno de los mas grandes debuts que han aparecido [...]

Florence & The Machine - MTV Unplugged Florence's entry into the storied MTV Unplugged series is full of lung bursting choruses and has some pretty intense, spine-tingling moments. Recorded in a converted synagogue, this performance, which can be watched in full over at MTV , is undoubtedly an impressive vocal workout. Check out Florence covering her favourite song - Otis Redding's "Try A Little Tenderness" - below.

It's no secret we here at KKS are fans of the very beautiful and even more talented Alex Winston . As big fans it is a huge oversight that we have not mentioned the video for her track 'Fire Ants' or that her debute LP dropped in March AND she will be hitting the road in the coming weeks. So we are aiming to remedy all of this one quick swoop. The video for 'Fire Ants' is a beautiful stop motion, hand crafted artist display, which creates a unique visual interpretation of the song's lyrics. [...]
