Even though we're in the traditional post-NXNE lull, there are a ton of notable shows going on. UK neo- The Heavy , the much-buzzed about Alabama Shakes , and the legendary Willie Nelson are all worth checking out. The Jazz Fest kicks off on the weekend as well, with Mavis Staples and Sharon Jones among the notables. soul outfit Some folks (not me) will also be excited about a couple of shows from Rufus Wainwright . ...also this week: [...]

R. Kelly is starting to make a habit out of these bizarrely awesome, surprise guest performances: first was his duet with Phoenix at Coachella, and now we get him joining Jim James and Billy Idol during James' Superjam at Bonnaroo. After he finished headlining his own set, R. Kelly headed directly over to the Superjam, [...]
Al revelarse el cartel de Bonnaroo se anunció que habría un acto llamado 'Superjam' el cual estaría encabezado por Jim James y John Oates . Sabíamos que sería algo especial, pero no teníamos idea de que sería una gigantesca fiesta en la que habría covers, mucha música y una importante cantidad de invitados especiales. Todavía no se han revelado los detalles exactos de lo sucedido, pero los primeros videos del evento muestran a invitados como Billy Idol , R. Kelly y Brittany Howard de Alabama Shakes haciendo covers [...]
I know most bands play a number of times over the weekend across the hundred stages but some bands are so in demand that they get to play the main stages twice. Jake Bugg, Haim and Stornaway are three such bands. Another is 'The Staves' who are playing on Friday, Saturday and Sunday over three stages: Crossiant Neuf Stage Friday SMERINS ANTI [...]

"Dad Rock" started as a snarky label that music snobs & critics lobbed at aging classic rock-influenced bands like Wilco and The National . Maybe because it's Fathers' Day weekend or because I will be a new dad next month (if due dates hold true), but I'm joining Jeff Tweedy in embracing the once-derogatory term. So here's a mix of some modern dad rock, all from the last three years and all of which I happen to love. Download the entire mix here . [...]

Among the spontaneous, opinionated chatter that records induce in those charged to write about them, it's nice to think that, once in a while, we might give the odd music buyer an objective heads-up as to what they're getting with an album. Never has that felt easier than it is with Houndmouth 's debut, From The Hills Below The City . It's as simple as this: if you're a fan of country-rock, Americana or even a bit of folk now and again, give it a try. If you're not, it's likely that you're going to [...]

While I have never really been able to get into the HBO show True Blood , their latest soundtrack for the series is something to get behind. Scheduled for release on May 28th via ATO Records , it features the likes of My Morning Jacket, Deep Valley, The Flaming Lips, and Warpaint to name a few. Additionally, everyone's favorite down home mamajamas Alabama Shakes are contributing a new one titled "Pocket Change." It is a simple little throwback ditty that would be perfect to throw on for your next [...]

We've not heard from Alabama Shakes for quite some time. Just last month I was talking about them with someone and for the life of me could not remember their name. I could however recall their album title, Boys & Girls , and the fact it came out in April last year. I'm full of useless facts about release dates and album titles, but forget the important stuff like band names apparently. Useless in a pub quiz. Anyway that was over a year ago, and now the band are set to appear on True [...]

Estes naturais de Athens, no Alabama, juntam-se assim a vampiros, lobisomens e fadas, tendo como já anunciados os My Morning Jacket e os The Flaming Lips. Para já, ouçam esta música cheia de boa onda: Os Alabama Shakes são um dos nomes já anunciados do cartaz do Vodafone Paredes de Coura , [...]

After the positive reaction Alabama Shakes got for their contribution to the Silver Linings Playbook soundtrack, it's no wonder they've been tapped to work on the latest True Blood soundtrack. I don't know what it is about vampire melodramas but they seem to inspire indie rock musicians left and right – in the past Iggy Pop, Nick Cave, Neko Case and Best Coast have contributed to True Blood's credits roll. Not that we're complaining. As fans of their debut, Boys & Girls , we'll take more [...]

Fitting that Alabama Shakes would appear on the forthcoming True Blood soundtrack, considering how True Blood is set in Louisiana. Brittany Howard and the gang provide a jangly, upbeat tune titled "Pocket Change" for True Blood's fourth OST, channeling their inner Bob Dylans and displaying their versatility while staying faithful to their style. Head over [...]

Desde 2010, el festival Corona Capital se ha encargado de ofrecernos un cartel de primera clase que ha ido mejorando año con año.

When rumors about the first ever BottleRock Napa festival began to circulate, they were impressive: early flyers listed Dave Matthews Band and Pearl Jam as headliners (neither was ever confirmed). Still, the festival had the attention of the Napa Valley and surrounding music lovers long ago. Once the final lineup had been released and tickets [...] The post BottleRock 2013 Review: Napa's Inaugural Music, Wine, and Food Festival appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Real estate developer-turned-lawyer Bob Vogt has done a cool thing. He finally took all that dough he made flipping houses and lawyering, and put it into something sexy: Music. BottleRock is the biggest festival to ever happen in Napa Valley, attracting headliners like Kings of Leon, The Black Keys, and Jane's Addiction. With a projected crowd of 35,000 capacity, this is the kind of cash cow that could save a local economy-in-peril. Impressively, when Vogt made the initial announcement for the festival, tickets sold so quickly he became worried he may run out [...]
