The initial lineup for the 2012 Electric Forest Festival is out. Resident headliners, the String Cheese Incident, lead the lineup alongside Bassnectar, STS9, Thievery Corporation, Girl Talk, and a bunch of other big names in the jam and electronic space (and just about everything else in between). Check it out... Electric Forest Festival - Initial [...]

In case you missed it, the lineup for this year's Snowball Music Festival was announced recently and it's totally nuts. Any festival set in Vail, Colorado would be something to pay attention to regardless, and this year the promoters went all-out on the talent by snagging Snoop Dogg, Bassnectar, Rusko, TV on the Radio, Big [...]

In case you missed it, the lineup for this year's Wakarusa Music Festival was finalized late last week. Topping the bill is a solid eclectic mix with Pretty Lights, The Avett Brothers and Primus all set to headline the festival, with LMB favorites Umphrey's Mcgee, Girl Talk, Ghostland Observatory, Big Gigantic, EOTO, Orgone, Blitzen Trapper [...]

La primera edición del Festival 5punto5 está confirmada. Probablemente lo que más llama la atención en su cartel es que, antes de The Ting Tings, Little Dragon, y compañía, podemos ver un lugar marcado con varias "X" que podría estar destinado a un headliner todavía por anunciar. La fecha programada para el evento es el 5 de mayo en el Centro Dinámico Pegaso (sí, donde fue el MX Beat), ubicado en el kilómetro 52.5 de la carretera Toluca-Naucalpan. El precio de los boletos es de $450 más cargos y estarán disponibles a partir de hoy, 20 de enero [...]

El pasado 25 de marzo de 2011, pudimos disfrutar de la presencia de bandas de la talla de Yeasayer, Ok Go, Local Natives y Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros en el Spring Quesadilla Tour, un festival organizado por nuestros amigos de onc1e1, que al parecer cada año quieren apostar por más y esta vez [...]

When we heard Ghostland Observatory was playing Austin City Limits live, we realized how very little coverage we've given one of indie music's largest success stories. Yep, it was time to get inside and find out why this duo has one of the most loyal fan bases in music. What are your thoughts about the death of the CD?

Ghostland Observatory made their return to hometown Austin, Texas at the Moody Theater.

Reviews and highlights from this year's Moogfest...

There's a lot of pork in Asheville, NC. Like, tons. Everywhere you go, they're advertising beef, BBQ, and, well, pork. It's sort of funny because there's also a lot of tofu. (Hey, vegans gotta eat something.) And yet it's this polarizing, yet mutual, relationship that exemplifies the town's unique persona. Oh, delightful food. But food bonds us. It's the one thing that anyone can agree upon (anorexics, religious fanatics excluded): We gotta eat. And with a weekend party like Moogfest , which essentially strangles the town for three long nights, the overall community of food is an [...]

​Halloween is on Monday, so there should be a good handful people in costume out and about this weekend -- kind of like the zombies at the Dallas Observer Music Award Showcase. And there will be...

Are you surprised that the Flaming Lips would already have plans set for next year's Record Store Day? It really shouldn't be all that shocking. Especially since this is the band that released a six-hour song and is planning on releasing a 24-hour song. Billboard spoke to Wayne Coyne who said that the band is creating a compilation featuring collaborations with artists they've already worked with including Neon Indian, Lightning Bolt and Prefuse 73. But what's more interesting are the upcoming collabs the band is readying. [...]

Photo by Heather Kaplan In between marijuana flavored gummy brains , gummy fetuses , real skulls , and 6-hour and 24-hour songs, The Flaming Lips' weird-as-fuck 2011 output has also included high profile collaborations with the likes of Neon Indian , Lightning Bolt , and Prefuse 73 . All of these collaborative tracks have made their way online (just click those links), but physical copies of the releases were limited to select record stores across the country. Now, though, Billboard reports [...]

"There's a term called 'Echotone'...where nature and civilization meet." The meeting of nature and civilization is more like a collision and it is loud . The collision of condos and night clubs is loud. The collision of SXSW and Austin is loud. The collision of artist and businessman is loud. The collision of art and commerce is loud. Echotone is loud, and is another music documentary that should be played loud. Directed by Nathan Christ and photographed by Robert Garza, Echotone is a multifaceted and pragmatic look at [...]

This is it folks, the final spotlight before ACL! This time around I've got Chromeo , your dance party for the festival this year. Chromeo is a Canadian duo, and they've been blasting out their electronic dance beats for some time. For years they burned up the dance floors in cool cities all across the globe, and just recently they've started making more of a national name for themselves. Just one listen, and you're bound to have one of their hooks banging around in your [...]

the dodos | photo by whitperson This is another one of those week's of live music in NYC that requires some serious skills with scheduling and logistics. There are a ton of great shows and there's just not enough time, energy, and cash flow to take them all in. Since I'm still out of pocket, and there's so much to choose from, I'm foregoing my normal highlight reel and just going with the entire list. Call me a slacker if you will, but given all these options, I think I'm mainly just indecisive... [...]

America's economy limps along and our leaders bicker on, so how refreshing that Sir Richard Branson for the third consecutive year offered recession-battered music lovers another world-class music festival for free, only requesting the good karma be paid forward with a small donation to benefit homeless youth. Deadmau5 made history as the first electronic dance music act to close the festival on a stage previously played only by bands and hip-hop acts. Anyone new to deadmau5 definitely left schooled as the multi-genre Canadian producer, with a spectacular full-stage theatrical LED lighting extravaganza, struck a [...]
