\"Leftover<\/a>

Leftover Cuties, New Numbers, Sore Eros, Withered Hand, and The Morgansterns<\/p><\/div>\n

In part two of my band roundups, there’s Leftover Cuties, straight from the Cotton Club, with their charming song & video, “Game Of Live”. Sore Eros lays on some cool vibes (literally), and Scottish lo-fi folk artist Withered Hand makes his U.S. debut. New Numbers harkens back to late 70s Bowie and Iggy – always a sound near and dear to my heart – and rootsy Los Angeles band The Morgansterns releases a warmly inviting debut on Microhits Music Corp. <\/p>\n

Inspired by the jazz clubs of the 1930s, Leftover Cuties<\/a> have a great sound harkening back to those times, with the focus on sultry vocals (and sad lyrics), ukulele, upright bass, and smooth percussion. They have two EPs out (Game Called Life<\/a> and their Christmas EP<\/a>), although their full-length debut is imminent. The first EP’s title track, “Game Called Life,” was used as the theme song for the Showtime series “The Big C,” and they’ve performed in and around the L.A. area. Coming up, they have some shows in California, plus an appearance at the UkeFest in Denver on Saturday (Feb. 5).<\/p>\n
