Hey kiddies. For those of you who want to catch up on forensic anthropology and the latest story centered around human remains, tune into FOX tonight for a new episode from the season 7 of BONES. They’re featuring Lex’s song “What Happens Now?” in a critical scene of confession.
Lex and her gang skipped through Los Angeles earlier this year and headed down to Santa Monica on September 13th, 2011 to visit the folks at KCRW. It was Lex’s 2nd visit to the studios of “Morning Becomes Eclectic” with host Jason Bentley and producer Ariana Morgenstern. It was a captivating morning with Lex and her band which included compatriot singer/songwriter Gavin Castleton on keys, background vocals, and assorted instruments. The foursome performed songs from both of Lex’s albums, Orange Days on Lemon Street and the newly released Were My Sweetheart To Go…, and ended the set with a duet featuring Lex and Gavin singing one of Gavin’s songs, “Coffeelocks”. It was a memorable morning of music which is now being featured by our friends at KCRW through their podcast on iTunes and direct through their website – kcrw.com. Get it here
