Homophonic video blog (Ep. 7): Novice Theory

Alex joins transgender musician Geo Wyeth, aka Novice Theory, a one-man band that mixes piano, klezmer, accordian, and a melange of musical styles to create a thoroughly unique and utterly captivating experience. Geo talks about his music, about how being trans and biracial has informed his musical journey, and how he comes up with his one-of-a-kind compositions.

But the real treat is seeing Novice Theory in action in several clips from his recent performance at NYC's Zipper Theatre and an intimate performance in the studio. Definitely a must-watch.

Homophonic video blog (Ep. 6): Ron Morris

Join Alex and special guest Ron Morris with a look back at Ron's meteoric rise in music — an adventure that started on the road through the American West and soared with a music-video breakthrough thanks to a little megahit called "Boyfriend."

Ron gets a mite introspective while hanging with Alex and Lee, going all the way back to his musically influential grandmother and leaping forward to his much anticipated release, "Truth Stained Lies," premiering June 24th.

Your special Homophonic treat-of-the-week? A brand new track performed *live* in the Homo-studio called "Fear of Falling."

Enjoy Ron's (folk)story right after the jump!

Homophonic video blog (Ep. 5): Backstage at the NewNowNext Awards

Alex scored a backstage pass to the NewNowNext Awards, and despite a wicked hangover the next day, your fearless Homophone and his task-master producer Lee take you behind the scenes for exclusive clips, scandalous pics, and special interviews with Candis Cayne, Derek Nicoletto, Deepa Soul, Adam Barta, and more!

The day after thieving Michelle Williams' latest CD, harassing Janet Jackson via satellite, and catching the Dazzle Dancers in some truly compromising poses, Alex wakes up with Lady GaGa's stiletto in his bed, and the memories come flooding back.

See it all after the jump!

Homophonic video blog (Ep. 4): KIN

Alex gets comfy with quadruple-threats IQ and Nor in the middle of their shoot for a chat on all things KIN: starting with the herstory of their ten year collaboration and ending with a bright, blinged-out future for these break-out urban artistes.

Along the way, you'll learn how these two outstanding singer-rapper-writers keep their chins up and their heads straight despite adversity around every corner.

Homophonic video blog (Ep. 3): Telling on Trixie

This week on Homophonic, Alex is joined on his comfy couch by Derek Nicoletto, the out lead singer of the band Telling on Trixie.

Twelve short months after their first release, Trixie has amassed thousands of fans, two widely-screened videos (featuring two reality competition fan-faves), and dozens of spots on TV for their music. Just a scant few hours before hopping a plane to the band's next big gig, lead singer Derek takes time out to look back on an amazing year in music.

Derek also treats us to a Homophonic Exclusive: a behind-the-scenes commentary of the band's most recent video, "Orion's Light".

Homophonic video blog (Ep. 2): Get Naked!

This week on Homophonic, Alex takes a spa day with queer electro/rock group Naked Highway. Lead singer Sy dishes the good stuff with tales from their European tour, his strong belief in hardcore-burlesque, and the unusual bond he shares with his partners in crime.

But wait! There's more! Buckle your seat belts in that lowrider, 'cause we've got the world premiere of Naked Highway's newest video, "Shorty the Pimp". So put your headphones on, pop some bubbly, and get Naked!

New video blog! Homophonic (Ep. 1): Going deep with Deepa Soul

We're excited to be bringing you a new weekly video blog that focuses on the world of out gay musicians. The aptly-titled Homophonic series, brought to you by the Angry Puppy vlog's Lee and his Archy and Mehitabel bandmate Alex, will take you behind the scenes and into the recording studios of some of the freshest queer musicians out there. I'll let Lee tell you what's in store for the maiden voyage...

How awesome is this?! Fresh from her first live show in over 3 years, LGBT music goddess Deepa Soul sat down with Alex in our studio last week and dished deep. From her not-so-humble beginnings dancing go-go in San Fran to her epic collaborations with Junior Vasquez, Deepa kept our jaws hanging open with one legendary tale after another.

Oh yeah, and as if that weren't enough to keep Alex giggling with glee, Deepa even played a fresher-than-fresh track from her soon-to-drop 3-disc release in our very own studio! Tune in this and every week, all you homophones, for interviews, backstage to-do's, and live performances from the coolest out musicians out there.  

Check it all out after the break!
