Keeping the focus squarely on the live performance, we feature two artists who made such an impact during their studio sessions we asked them to play our Masquerade Ball and Official SXSW Showcase.

On this episode of the MBE podcast we'll start off with U.K. artist Tom Vek. Vek recently released his third studio album titled Luck and it became a station favorite almost immediately. Combining his narrative style of lyricism with post-punk electronic rhythms, Vek's live show is a loud and energetic affair.

Next up we feature long-time KCRW favorite Delta Spirit. Their live show is notoriously full of energy that seems to build and build after each song. We were so impressed with their session in support of their 6th studio release Into The Wide that we booked them for our SXSW showcase almost immediately after.
