From the very first moments of their latest album, Stardust Galaxies , Parlotones show why they are being hailed as South Africa's answer to some of the UK's biggest rock groups. The take away message from the album? Arena ready. The slow-burner ballads are big, polished and infections, all terrific attributes for an outfit poised for a meteoric rise. Opener, "Push Me To The Floor," is an epic rock-opera piece, in the mold of UK powerhouse, Muse. Lead singer Kahn Morbee has got a glam-rock dynamicism reminiscent of Antony Hegarty (Antony and [...]

Frank Yang Is it possible for a band to steal their own show? It is when you're far more interested in the support act than the headliner, as I was Wednesday night at The Horseshoe. I had already planned to attend even when it was just Brighton, UK's Blood Red Shoes on the bill - I liked their two albums, including their latest and first North American release Fire Like This , well enough - but when Sky Larkin were announced as support, well it [...]

:: If you live in NYC and your New Year's Eve plans don't involve attending the recently-announced Guided By Voices show at Irving Plaza , then you are lame. Unless you're planning to do that thing where you climb the exterior of a huge building because the cops are all busy at Times Square. Then you're alright. :: Rolling Stone has a big spread on Conan O'Brien in their upcoming issue, and they've posted an excerpt online. It's one of those things that fools you into think Rolling Stone doesn't suck. But [...]
Bob Dylan is no easy cover. His distinctive voice, both vocally and lyrically, make it nearly impossible for many artists to capture the proper temperament. There are even some Dylan lyrics that just sound, well, wrong coming from the throats of anyone but him. Antony Hegarty's gift for interpreting the music of others, however, has [...]

Antony Hegarty has the voice of an angel. His new release finds the singer exploring an array of emotions, as we'll hear on Today's Top Tune. An earnest sense of gratitude turns into an urgent plea on "Thank You for Your Love."
Antony Hegarty es conocido dentro del mundo de la música y por todos sus seguidores por ser uno de los artistas con la voz más particular que hay dando vueltas. Al escuchar sus canciones nos damos cuenta que no estamos escuchando a un músico convencional sino uno que es completamente diferente a ello ya por el tono de voz que posee que es, al menos en mi opinión, completamente excepcional . El hombre, en nada menos que 12 años de carrera, no tuvo una gran presentación de obras sino todo lo contrario. Lanzó solamente 4 LPs [...]
Thank You For Your Love - Antony and the Johnsons Thank You For Your Love - Antony and the Johnsons ( Buy ) Antony Hegarty's Antony and the Johnsons know how to convey big messages with very few words. With beautiful orchestration and high-pitched vocals, Hegarty's latest work, Swanlights , has all the innate calm and Feng Shui of his past work, but is slightly more adventurous. After winning a Mercury Prize and becoming a permanent fixture in the cabaret scene, Antony and the Johnsons have proven they make consistent, high-quality music. [...]
Over the past 25 years the collaboration between David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti has yielded many a monster-producing some of cinemas most gothic, memorable and atmospheric scores. A relationship that began with Lynch's 1986 dark masterpiece Blue Velvet, in which Badalamenti was brought on board to flesh out the aural landscape, the film also marked [...]
Just like great athletes have career defining moments, so, too, do musicians. For Pulp, it was their last minute fill-in for an imploding Stone Roses on the main stage at the Glastonbury Festival in 1995, still regarded as one of the festival's finest performances. For Nirvana, it was their seminal performance on MTV's Unplugged that [...]
