Apart from the fact that you're in one of the greatest North American music festival settings with a superb lineup, you get a one-up from those attending Lollapalooza, Coachella, Pitchfork or Bonnaroo... You won't share what you're watching live with the rest of the world through the Internet. Ironic that I'm writing this here, isn't it? YouTube and Sasquatch! currently don't have a partnership set up. Obviously this is due to the remoteness of Quincy's Gorge location, but it's also a huge draw. What you experience and share with you're fellow Sasq-watchers will be considerably more unique, and [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-23T20:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4967512/skoa-presents-we-found-sasquatch-mixtape/
The drive to Sasquatch! is a lengthy trip for most of the attendees, and what better time to get familiar with the bands you'll be seeing at the festival? That's where we come in. We've plucked 36 artists from the festival lineup and chosen a song by each, resulting in two-and-a-half hours of fantastic music. This is SKOA's essential Sasquatch! mix. This is the We Found Sasquatch! Mixtape . The mixtape features plenty of amazing talent, including Vampire Weekend, Disclosure, Tame Impala, Alt-J, Surfer Blood, Dirty Projectors, Father John Misty, Edward Sharpe and The [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-23T17:54:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4967259/instagrammed-bloc-party-relearn-storm-and-stress/
Bloc Party are currently touring the US and as we open a new section called "Instagrammed" we thought it best to post Kele re-learning an old favourite of ours "Storm and Stress".

Only two days left until Sasquatch! begins. Tomorrow and the next day will see thousands of avid music fans journeying to The Gorge Amphitheatre in George, WA, prepping their campsites, stocking up on alcohol and drugs in anticipation of dozens of amazing performances. This year's lineup boasts some fantastic talent , such as The xx, Vampire Weekend, Sigur R ós, The Postal Service, Disclosure, Arctic Monkeys, Edward Sharpe and The Magnetic Zeros and many, many more. It's a lineup worth salivating over. As the festival quickly approaches, I've put together [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-20T16:32:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4960511/hangout-2013-sunday-stevie-wonder-yeah-yeah-yeahs-best-coast/
You don't throw a music festival on the beach and neglect to invite Best Coast . Gulf Shores isn't what Bethany Cosentino had in mind when she named her band, but even she saw the parallels: "This next song, it's about California, but all of the things I talk about in it you guys have here." They then commenced with "The Only Place," one of the nearly indistinguishable (but identically awesome) sunshine refractions they performed at the Chevrolet Stage just after noon Sunday. Cosentino is one of those pop savants whose every lazy melody seems like the product of [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-20T14:59:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4960180/live-around-town-this-week/

Truth, the most recent single by British indie rock institution BLOC PARTY now comes with a banging new remix by German dance duo DIGITALISM. A while ago we already got a colourful music video for Truth which is the third single from the group's comeback album Four which was released last summer. The new remix The post Digitalism with remix of "Truth" by Bloc Party appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .]]> text/html 2013-05-17T15:42:57+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4956500/bloc-party-nuovo-disco-in-uscita/
I paladini dell'indie rock inglese degli anni Duemila stanno tornando: i Bloc Party hanno confermato l'uscita di un EP per Giugno o Luglio, che segue ad un anno di distanza l'ultimo lavoro in studio, Four , pubblicato lo scorso anno e preceduto dal singolo Octopus . Del nuovo disco non si hanno altre notizie utili: non un titolo definitivo, n una data pi ufficiale, n una vera e propria tracklist .

Kjell B Persson Know what the worst thing about not going to SXSW this Spring was? Not missing SXSW, but not having my previously annual late-Winter vacation. In fact, save for a weekend jaunt to New York last November, the last time I got out of the 416 was Labour Day - that's well over eight months ago, and right mental. And while I'd like to say that the European theme of this post is a hint as to where I'm getting away to, it unfortunately is not. I still hope to make it across the Atlantic later [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-17T11:42:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4956153/introducing-bear-mountain-new-album-xo-tour-dates-with-bloc/

One of the worst kept secrets as far as I'm concerned. Bloc Party have announced that they'll be releasing new material this year. Russell Lissack spoke to the Miami New Times and has mentioned that they've recorded 6 songs, all thought to be as a part of an EP. He also revealed that new material could be out as early as June! But to wet your appetite you can check out some live versions of the new songs. Follow [...]]]> text/html 2013-05-16T22:15:00+01:00 http://elbo.ws/post/4955359/1-day-until-hangout-music-fest/
Have you ever been to Alabama? I didn't exactly stick around to get an intimate understanding of the atmosphere, but the 48 hours that I spent there in 2005, stranded outside of Alabama with a broken-down shortbus and 5 cranky band dudes didn't exactly make me want to revisit any time soon. But then those wily Southerners went and decided to throw an incredible festival in Gulf Shores -right on the damn beach (look at that freaking picture from last year^^)- with headliners like Stevie Wonder and Kings of freakin' Leon.

This summer, ABSOLUT VODKA is touring the country with ABSOLUT X, a series of experiential, full-sensory events incorporating three different disciplines: music, art and mixology, to create exceptional live experiences. The five-city tour will include stops in Miami, Seattle, New York, and Philadelphia, with performances by several CoS -approved artists (with a full lineup to be announced shortly). This Thursday, May 16th, ABSOLUT X takes over Soho Studios in Miami with Bloc Party , artist Agustina Woodgate, and mixologist John Lermayer.

Having read ALLEN GINSBERGs Howl maybe a hundred times, my inner guts still have convulsions when I read "Carl Solomon! Im with you in Rockland". Call me old-fashioned, but for me a singer/songwriter record should hurt too. It should make you almost cry and let you feel the burden of the weight of the world.

Was eine Breaking News! Bloc Party-Kopf Kele Okereke macht sich Donnerstag auf den Weg nach Berlin, um im Elektronik-Dach vom Weekend smtliche Tunes und Beats auszupacken. Wer sich also auf ein Wiedersehen mit Bloc Party freut, kann sich zumindest schonmal mit einem Viertel vergngen. Dass Kele auch solo die Leute zum Tanzen bringen kann, hat er schon mit seiner Solo-Platte und Hits wie "Tenderoni" bewiesen. Zudem bekommt er auch noch ruhmreiche Verstrkung in Form von DJ Housemeister , der von Boys Noize Records rbergeschickt wird. Klingt also nach einer deftigen Nacht im Weekend! [...]]]>
