Hope you all survived your celebrating on the 4th and the ensuing weekend. We’re glad to be back with you again this week for another edition of Monday Mashup. Let’s see what’s new this week.
RECENT UM GRADUATE NATASHA CONTI DIRECTS PLAY
The newly-formed Cadmium Company, composed of University of Montana students and alumni, will present a new play by local playwright and University of Wisconsin-Madison PhD student Joshua Kelly, The Book of Us, to audiences this month. It is directed by recent UM MFA graduate Natasha Conti, and will be performed at 8 p.m. on July 12, 13 and 14 at a private residence (disclosed upon ticket reservation).
Tickets are a suggested $5 donation at the door. Reservations are available by emailing cadmiumcompany@gmail.com. Audience discretion is advised as the performance includes adult themes, language, and nudity. Seating is limited so audience members are encouraged to reserve seats early.
NEW SINGLES
Our first single this week should get you up and ready for the new week. Here’s Ethan Lumus and “Sex.” As you can imagine, it is NSFW.
Next is the latest from Brooklyn-based dream pop singer Kirsten Knick aka Völuspa with the absolutely beautiful and ethereal “Feel You.”
Our third single this week comes from LA Music Critic Award winning Best International Artist Dom Fricot. He has just released this third single from his amazing album Deserts, and we think you will enjoy “Time Flies.”
Our next single is a remix of Crayon‘s tune “After the Tone” by Duñe. It has an upbeat soulful sound and we think you will really like it.
Our final single this week is “Malas Amistades” from internationally acclaimed vocalist Vanessa Zamora. We love the vibe of this song, even if we don’t know what she’s saying. Let us know what you think.

NEW MUSIC VIDEOS
First up this week is a lyric video from Toronto duo The Darcys (ft. Leah Fay). It is an upbeat tune that will have your toes tapping in no time at all. Check out “Just Here With my Friends.”
Our next lyric video is from LA powerhouse duo Smoke Season, who are preparing to take the UK by storm. Here is their awesome single, “Sweetest Thing.”
Our third video is from indie rockers Summerteeth. It reminds us of the Gin Blossoms, and we think you will love “Stay Warm.”
Next is another lyric video, this time from one of our favorite male artists Stephen Michael Murphy. Here is “Why,” and our response is “Why Not?”
Our final video this week is “Half Dreams” from futuristic pop band CROATIA. We think this one is the perfect video to launch your week. We’ll be back next week with more Monday Mashup.
