You Know What You've Been Missing

Today is a Wednesday, and what that means is another edition of our weekly event "That's What's Up Wednesday's" at Grumpy's Ale House... As you've learned from our previous posts: North House Music is trend and Möet, we play all sorts of music with massive amounts of bass from
Hip Hop, Glitch Hop, Electro House, Breaks, Bassline, and Dubstep to anything else that sounds amazing, drops serious bass, and makes your booty shake!
A large part of our mission at North House Music is to seek out up and coming producers and musicians and expose them to the masses, and in keeping with that spirit, here is a selection of some of our current favorites nicely blended together... Scroll down through the entire post for some gratuitous individual promotional plugs...

The PLUGS...

"The Weeknd is a Toronto-based R&B singer named Abel Tesfaye (born , 1990).[1][2] Songs recorded under The Weeknd name first leaked in late 2010, though the identity of the individual behind the project was initially unknown.[3][4] The Weeknd released a nine-song album, House of Balloons, on 21 March 2011. His style has been classified as "Prog RnB" and "Hipster RnB" based on sub-mainstream status and "hipster" followers. The album is a part of a trilogy which includes Thursday and Echoes of Silence, to be released in the summer and autumn respectively.[citation needed] The song "High for This" is currently featured in the promo for the final season of the HBO show "Entourage." On June 16, 2011, the album was named as a longlisted nominee for the 2011 Polaris Music Prize.[5] On July 6, the album was named as a short listed (one of ten) nominee for the 2011 award." Not bad for a 21 year old!

Crizzly

In his own words: "WHATS UP WORLD??? My name is Crizzly. I'm just some kid from the dirty south making beats."

Haydn Hoffman 
"Southern California’s saturated dance music scene is home to countless DJ’s and producers, but in a short time, Haydn Hoffman has managed to differentiate himself from the crowd and establish himself globally as one of the hottest rising producers/remixers in the electro-house scene. Following 3 years of touring and recording as a guitarist, Hoffman began producing, drawing inspiration from the sounds of electro veterans such as Designer Drugs and Le Castle Vania. After a little over a year in the scene, Hoffman has already been compared to both of them as well as other major artists such as The Bloody Beetroots and Afrojack, and he has managed to gain a loyal fan base by being featured on a multitude of major music blogs. He was recently listed on Salacious Sound’s “30 hottest songs of the blogosphere” and his tracks on the blog aggregator Hype Machine have been favorited over 5000 times, often peaking near the top of its popular list. His accomplishments don’t stop there; Hoffman’s tracks have received airplay on BBC Radio One, have elicited praise from major producers/DJ’s such as Monarch Productions (Chris Brown, Justin Bieber), Kissy Sell Out, and Dani Deahl, and have racked up tens of thousands of plays on his Soundcloud account alone.
Haydn Hoffman recently released the single “Out of Time” on Ventuno Recordings with remixes by Barletta and Mr. Vega .  Hoffman is continuing to produce remixes and original tracks, and as asserted by several in the blogosphere, is proving himself to be one of Southern California’s most promising electro-house producers/DJ’s."

Naples Summer Bar Series: Grumpy's Ale House

We have decided that in order to better attest to why we don't move to another city and join a music scenes there, that we would just do a few quips on our local scene and why we feel that we live in a great area; a great area that deserves an amazing music scene.



Where is Naples, Florida? Naples is three hours southwest of Orlando, two hours south of Tampa, and about an hour and a half north west of Miami. As far as location Naples is pretty equal driving distance from some major players as far as music scenes go. Collier county in which Naples is located is also one of the wealthiest counties per capita in the United States and an annual location for the rich, famous, and successful to vacation during the gorgeous months of January thru May. With pristine beaches and some of the best restaurants in the nation it isn't hard to figure out why people come to Naples and why Naples ranks seventh (7th) in the nation among alcohol consumption markets.

So enough rambling...I moved to Naples Park which is a working class community that is literally less than a mile distance parallel to the Gulf of Mexico. Naturally I went to the beach almost everyday and began to socialize and make local friends (I am now a local). It didn't take long to find a bar within two football fields from my house with cheap drinks, a good jukebox, some cute bartenders, pool tables, and so on. After several visits I met the owner, not but 8 years my senior and seemingly a well known, energetic, and outgoing person. I was quickly inducted into the family of friends and so my social life begins.

Grumpy's Ale House can't be more than 2000 square feet, but boasts four pool tables, two beer pong tables, three gaming machines (two video poker machines, and a punching bag), two dart boards, a shuffle board simulator, three HD televisions, another 12 or so regular televisions, a stage for live music, one of the BEST jukeboxes I have ever seen (I'm just saying this JB has every song known to man on it), 25 bar stools, several tables, and front and back entrances. Even with so much to do and look at inside it never feels crowded, everyone there seems to know everyone, and there is rarely any type of skirmish.

As if that isn't enough to impress anyone looking for a drink and a pool table Grumpy's has live music of some sort every night of the week. Mostly hosting live bands Grumpy's has recently decided to be the host of a quickly growing underground music scene hosting Trend & Möet's "That's What's Up" Wednesdays sponsored by Pinnacle Vodka.

Grumpy's has over 15 beers on draft (Smithwicks, Two-Hearted Ale, and Blue Point Blueberry Ale to name a few), as well as, over 30 bottled labels of beer. Not a beer drinker? Not a problem! Grumpy's also offers a full service liquor bar and wine.
