Artist: cirque du soleil

It's to his displeasure I don't doubt, though the likelihood of heinously ambidextrous Caribou drummer Brad Weber ever slipping the web of inexorable comparison he's albeit inadvertently weaved previously to this, his Pick a Piper project at this point seems only negligible at best. Parallels will always be scrawled between this and, say, Swim and that'd be to its inevitable discredit were this self-titled début itself not only a worthwhile accompaniment, but so too a worthy adversary. Of course it's grossly hypocritical for such a juxtaposition to be established in light of the above. [...]

It's now all but a daily occurrence that we set about drizzling lyrical wax over some fresh Canuck musical produce, and today is of course no exception as we turn to the keening ethereality of Montréal ensemble Forêt . They this month released an eponymous début via Simone Records , all of which can now be heard here though as is so often the way, the tenacious Jamie Milton of the resolutely excellent Music Fan's Mic has plucked its real cherry right out. It's entitled Corps maquillés, or  Body makeup , and immediately recalls the [...]

By Musician and Marketing Consultant Solveig Whittle ( @shadesofsolveig ). The craft of stage performance is a critical part of every performing artist’s success. This weekend, I watched three excellent performances: Cirque du Soleil’s Amaluna , the emerging Seattle female music duo Lemolo , and veteran Disney and boy band performer, Justin Timberlake, on Saturday Night Live . As an artist watching these three performances, it struck me that stage skills are more important, in some ways, than musical talent. An audience is [...]

Fans who never got to see Michael Jackson perform live will get another chance to at least experience hearing his music amongst a sell-out crowd at a big venue, thanks again to Cirque du Soleil. Canada's high-brow circus company has teamed up with the Jackson estate once again, this time for Michael Jackson ONE , a show at Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino on the Strip in Las Vegas. The production will celebrate the King of Pop's "multifaceted persona and changing musical styles." Previews start May 23 and the show officially premieres June 29. [...]

"Whassup Papa Dana? It's top mama, it's Blanco! It's hot and bothered – no drama, straight to yo door – no trauma." The newly crowned queen of queer rap Mykki Blanco returns with Feeling Special – a clammy first taste from his her forthcoming  Betty Rubble: The Initiation EP, expected that little bit later on in the year. Produced by San Fran deep house aficionado matrixxman , it's another acerbic hunk of urban paranoia and urbane lyrical articulation: "Follow... Follow... Follow... Follow me down that rabbit hole" Blanco [...]

A few months ago we spoke about the Cirque Du Soleil themed night club, Light at Mandalay Bay  - the one that aims to redefine the nightlife experience by incorporating live performance art and dance music into a completely immersive experience. The ground-breaking club has just released details on its roster - one that may surprise the average clubgoer. Dubstep-heavyweight Skrillex , electro wunderkind  Zedd , trap pioneer Baauer and Sebastian Ingrosso - for his American residency debut - all plan to call the new night club home when it opens in March.

If you thought the electronic dance movement was going to fizzle out anytime soon, think again. It looks as if Skrillex will be getting some assistance from none other than Cirque Du Soleil when he begins his new residency to Las Vegas nightclub, LIGHTS, at the Mandalay Bay hotel this coming April. The staged acrobats have performed to the music of the Beatles, Elvis, and Michael Jackson, and now Skrillex, making him the first to do so of the EDM genre. The newly opened venue will also feature several other big name [...]

Eels , el proyecto de Mark Oliver Everett, se prepara para lanzar su nueva producción el próximo febrero, sin embargo, esta no ha sido la única ocupación del músico, quien recientemente colaboró con el tema principal del film Worlds Away , la producción en 3D del Cirque Du Soleil dirigida por Andrew Adamson y producida por James Cameron.

Mark Oliver Everett, aka Eels , may be gearing up to release  Wonderful, Glorious early next year, but he's still found time to pursue another project: Cirque du Soleil. No, Everett isn't running away to start a career as a tumbler or juggler; rather, his song "Calling For Your Love" scores the main title sequence to the James Cameron-produced Worlds Away , a 3D adaptation chronicling the Canadian touring troupe's fantastical productions. The song itself is an emotive acoustic ballad, acting as a calming ode to yearning love, before immersing [...]

It seems that everyone has caught on, and the future of entertainment is intertwined with electronic music and club culture. It's past the point of everyone jumping on the bandwagon and now industry leaders are making moves. We have already seen Live Nation buy half of the production-side of EDM, whats next? Vegas it seems, as Cirque Du Soleil plans to take their brand into a permanent boutique nightclub on the strip. Teaming up with the iconic Mandalay Bay, the travelling show with put down some roots in the top tier Vegas Casino/Hotel. Vegas is definitely familiar with [...]

The Cirque du Soleil experience has always been about pushing boundaries and redefining entertainment - the world-renowned brand has been inspiring awe in audiences for over a decade. It seems only natural that the highly-esteemed production troupe would finally make its foray into the nightlife scene at none other than Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas. Already being touted as more than just a traditional nightclub, LIGHT will be unlike anything you have ever experienced. Incorporating elements from their live performances, Cirque du Soleil plans to make everyone in the club part of the show. Headlining DJs and performers, coupled [...]

First off, doesn't this picture of Cirque Du Soleil's Amaluna production remind you of Empire of the Sun ? Second of all, WHY HAVEN'T THESE TWO COLLABORATED? Is it not the perfect match? Anyways, last night was the opening night of Amaluna, the 32nd production from Montreal based circus troupe Cirque Du Soleil or as I like to call it, "The place where Olympic gymnasts/pole dancers go when they get older/want to make money". Following a loosely based Pocahontas meets Avatar storyline (indigenous woman finds love [...]

So, last night the Oscars happened . Not surprisingly, the silent French film, The Artist won best picture. It begs the question: if the Oscars happen and nothing interesting happens and there are no surprises among the winners, does anyone really care about the Oscars? Anyway, here's Cirque du Soleil performing a movie-themed tribute to the movies.

It was clear even before Friday night's performance of Michael Jackson's Cirque Du Soleil spectacular, The IMMORTAL World Tour (playing three nights at LA's Staples Center) began that this would be a night dedicated to celebrating the glory of Michael's legacy: we saw so many little kids in fedoras moonwalking in the lobby to even count. And Jackson's presence, whether seen on screen as a little boy or in footage from his legendary videos, consistently drew an ecstatic response from the crowd. As a memorial to the King Of Pop, the show totally worked; as a Cirque Du [...]
