OCTA 18th Anniversary – Hezekiah Jones

I hope everyone had a good night’s sleep and have enough energy for another festival day. We will begin day two of the celebration in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Raph Cutrufello’s folk collective Hezekiah Jones gathered together at Stargazer Château to deliver a spectacular live version of a song called Yeshe & Horus. The original studio version can be found from their 2016 EP Har! Har! Har! that’s available on their bandcamp just like their whole wonderful back catalogue of beautifully arranged alternative folk songs.

OCTA 18th Anniversary – The Burning Hell

The day 1 of our birthday festival ends with a live performance from an awesome Canadian band called The Burning Hell and one of my all-time biggest song obsessions Fuck The Government, I Love You. I’ve watched the music video of this song hundreds of times, I love the song with all my heart and I can never get tired of it. The studio versions can be found both from the 2016 The Burning Hell album Public Library and the duo album Don’t Believe The Hyperreal from Mathias Kom and Ariel Sharratt that came out a year before. These albums and the whole catalogue is full of other fabulous songs too. So hit that bandcamp link below to investigate further. Here’s The Burning Hell with the sweetest song called Fuck The Government, I Love You. That’s it for tonight. Tomorrow the festival continues 7pm (noon EST) at your place. Bring snacks.

OCTA 18th Anniversary – Hermina Jean

Our international anniversary festival continues and the next performance takes place in a mostly empty cabin at an apple orchard in the Bitterroot Valley of Western Montana. Artist is Hermina Jean who came to my attention when she released a wonderful EP Hot Grey about a year ago. Her song for this anniversary festival is a brand new song called Goddamnit. It’s a mighty good song and a mighty good video too from Tyler Quinn. If you want to hear more from Hermina Jean, follow that bandcamp link and listen to her marvellous EP.

OCTA 18th Anniversary – The New Magnetic North

Next we are heading back to the Finnish shores to hear some of finest Finnish folk rock and alternative country. The core group of The New Magnetic North used to have a band called Skip Zone, so they have been delivering great songs for several years. The excellent debut album of this new band saw the light of the day just a while ago on the 1st of August and it can be found by hitting that bandcamp link below the video. Their beautiful acoustic live song for this 18 year anniversary bash is a new one and it carries the same name as the band.
