The Indies is very pleased to present Twinnie, a true indie artist from the UK. She was influenced by the Romani gypsy side of her family who had eclectic music tastes, and the country music she grew up with through them, that led her to unthinkingly adopt a country twang in her voice, at least by UK standards. Contrast that with the instrumental side of her songs which are laying out a disco pop vibe.
She had previously been signed by a major label, was dropped, and got back on track in a more self contained sort of way. The music video for her song titled Don't Need A Cowboy, was shot in Joshua Tree National Park in California. Her independent perseverance, and unique infectious sound, prove Twinnie is an indie to be reckoned with.

The Indies is very pleased to once again present the wonderful music by four sisters from Colorado known as SHEL, an acronym for Sarah (violin), Hannah (keys), Eva (lead vox) and Liza (percussion).
Below is the music video to their song titled Rainbow, which was directed by Directed by Kyle Rasmussen. Eva traveled to India to make the music video for Rainbow with a focus on raising much-needed funds and awareness for some of the world’s most vulnerable women. The sisters hope their partnership with locally run craft center Hope Springz will make a lasting impact. SHEL stated the following about the song:
"When an Indian woman becomes a widow, she faces abandonment by her family & rejection from larger society. Told that her existence represents death, she dons a white sari, & the bangles around her wrist are smashed. With your help, the women of Hope Springz are telling a new story. Join SHEL in restoring color and dignity to widows in Vrindavan, India by purchasing a handmade Rainbow bracelet at this link: ShelMusic.com/rainbow"

Private Party is a rap act that consists of two guys who have known each other since the fourth grade. They figured out, when they were young, that music was everything that mattered. They finally packed their bags for Los Angeles, California, to pursue their desire to make records. Their rap in the track below is about the difficulties of pursuing such dreams, the harshness things like fake friends who talk badly behind one's back and takers who don't want to give back. Those are human traits that are all too common in the world, but the idea is to leave the negative forces behind and stick to the plan.
The video was directed by Shoots Blayr, shot by Chyeahhh and produced by Goldy.
Here is another unique act who has done a tasty cover of a song by Little Dragon, just like Lianne La Havas did and many other great acts worth noticing...

Nao - Ritual Union (a Little Dragon cover)
The next music video below is another filmed live studio performance of Nao and her own original song titled In The Morning.
Nao has two other songs featured on our network at the two links below. At the first link is the official music video to Nao's song titled Fool To Love.
The first time we covered this act from Gothenburg, Sweden, goes back to 2007, when they were truly indie on a label known as Peacefrog. Since then, numerous emerging and well established acts now cover Little Dragon's songs, such as the stellar version of Twice covered by Lianne La Havas.
Fast forward to today, the group is a major indie force, playing all over the world (click here for dates) and is currently signed to the newish label that former Warner Bros. Records CEO Tom Whalley started known as Loma Vista Recordings. Loma Vista has a roster of acts that are very independent in spirit.
