New Tune Tuesday (11/18/14)
–Written by Kevin Madert
In case you weren’t aware, Tuesdays are a music lover’s best friend. Although some of these came out a little less recently than today, they’re all essentially new and they’re all definitely worth a listen. If you think we’ve missed something (and with the sheer amount of music released daily, we probably have) drop me a line at kevin@thealternatefrequency.com. Sharing is caring, after all.

1. It’s never too early to start planning for next year’s festival season, and if you plan on starting early Aura Music Festival has you covered. Taking place at the picturesque Spirit of the Suwanee Music Park in Live Oak Florida March 6-8, the final lineup for the festival is in. The most noteworthy act joining already announced artists like The Disco Biscuits, Papadosio, and Moe is the Break Science Live Band – a first time collaboration featuring the electro-hip-hop duo joined by Lettuce bassist Jesus Coomes and several other very talented performers.

Here’s the first in a series of playlists we’ll be running weekly via Spotify: our Weekend Warm-Ups. Averaging ten songs, clocking in at around an hour in length, we’re envisioning these collections finding your ears as you zoom home from work, or as your early evening pregame escalates towards whatever may be the main event. It’s not like you need help getting stoked for the 48 hours you wish lasted all week, but we figure a kick-ass soundtrack can’t hurt.
