![[SHOW REVIEW] Youngblood Hawke with guests The Colourist and Future Feats at The Triple Rock Social Club](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4941452_lg.jpg)
Often times I find myself skipping over the opening acts when I write a show review. This time, there's no skipping over the opening performances that Future Feats and The Colourist put on Monday at The Triple Rock. In my opinion, opening acts have one job to do: get the audience pumped and ready to see the headliner. Chicago natives, Future Feats, did just that. Every shred of energy in the lead singer's body was left on the stage. Midway through the second song, I [...]
It's not exactly La Grande Jatte, but I love Plaza San Martin anyway. I'll never forget about all the great friends I have in Buenos Aires, the delicious ensalada de fruta , the tree-saving bidets (How did I go so long without them?), or those ridiculously cheap Pilates classes -- which are included in the 380 pesos (or roughly US$45 at the black-market exchange rate) I just paid for a one-month membership at my old gym. But the joy of six other great things about BA had almost slipped my [...]
Not long ago, I featured the video for Sheare's single, " Somebody Else ". Yesterday, the debut EP released, and on top of the title track, there's three other great songs to enjoy. Each track contains that grand, arena pop sound. You know, the type of epic, polished anthems that grab your ears and sweep you up within their sing-a-long choruses. It's been a staple of bands like Keane, Coldplay, and Muse for years. To put their music on the same level of those chart toppers, Sheare brought the producer Spike Stent, who has worked with the previously mentioned [...]
Por Judith Gómez Machado El agotamiento, aunque levemente presente, no se dejó percibir entre quienes regresaron, o llegaron por primera vez, a la segunda y más acalorada jornada de la edición 2013 del Lollapalooza Chile en el O’Higgins. Toro Y Moi Quizás la mejor opción para comenzar el recorrido del día fuera el estadounidense Toro Y Moi , quien en el escenario Playstation (uno de los pocos con sombra y brisa gracias a los árboles de la zona) desde las [...]

Arriva un nuovo, importante riconoscimento per Chris Martin e i suoi Coldplay : gli ascoltatori di BBC Radio2 hanno indicato A Rush Of Blood To The Head come miglior album tra quelli -di ogni epoca, genere, e nazionalità- suonati dall'emittente. Il sondaggio era partito nel mese di febbraio e si è concluso ieri durante uno speciale 'pasquale' con tanto di proclamazionein diretta radiofonica, con immancabile countdown . I titoli in lizza erano 100, i requisiti d'ammissione parlavano chiaro: unico titolo per artista o gruppo, essere uno 'studio album' quindi non un live, una colonna [...]

A SKY está patrocinando o show e gentilmente liberou 2 PARES de ingressos para sortearmos entre os leitores do Rock' n' Beats . E para participar é superfácil: basta preencher o formulário abaixo e postar a seguinte frase no Twitter ou no Facebook: [...]
Rayos Laser es una agrupación que nació en Córdoba y, poco a poco, se logró hacer un lugar en la escena de Argentina. Hoy se trata de una de las agrupaciones que más prometen y posee un disco homónimo volador, tranquilo, con momentos increíbles y un sonido popero con sintetizadores y un tanto psicodélico con letras pacíficas. Tanto creció y tanto se estableció que ahora Rayos Laser toca con Keane . El 11 y 12 de abril la banda británica se presentará en el Luna Park bajo el marco de su gira internacional que [...]
Guess what. If your submission mentions the producer Mike "Spike" Stent, it's going to grab my attention. Never heard of the guy, you say? You may not know the name, but I guarantee that you've heard some of his work: Keane, Muse, Coldplay, and Arcade Fire... do I need to go on? Sheare's upcoming EP has been executive produced and mixed by Spike Stent, and no surprise really, it's filled with grandiose, soul tugging songs. The video for Sheare's single, "Somebody Else", is a great starting point to get yourself acquainted with the musician's sound. The visuals take you on [...]
As it's International Women's Day , we thought we'd do something to celebrate. Rather than do some regressive piece about tits, we did a top 6 of the ways heavy metal is rubbish towards women. Can we stop these, please? Top 6 ways heavy metal treats women really fucking badly 1) The term "female-fronted metal" Yes, because all bands with women singers sound exactly the fucking same. Cerebral [...]

Os ingleses se apresentam no Credicard Hall, no dia 03 de abril, em São Paulo. Os ingressos vão de R$ 90,00 a R$ 400,00, com direito à meia-entrada.

![[Mega Playlist] Ultra 2013 Preview](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4753330_lg.jpg)
At the turn of the year, there's always a few things we get excited for. There's always the excitement of new Music Ninja programs we're launching, plans of grandeur for the upcoming year, new album releases, and of course, music festivals. We're just out of the gate for 2013, and we have to say, we're really stoked for what lies ahead. First up on our list of festivals is the largest electronica festival in North America. The setting is perfect, as Miami is already a hub for the scene. But when you take the party outside, onto Bayfront [...]
On the fourth song into their set in the Main Room, at First Avenue last night, Tom Chapman, lead singer of Battle, East Sussex's Keane , realized he was going to have a personally transformative evening. It was during the devastating and tender track from their 2004 debut, Hopes and Fears , entitled "We Might As Well Be Strangers." I saw him look out into the audience during the peak of the song and his face visibly changed. The mystique that is the club First Avenue wrote its fire in the sky long ago, [...]
After weeks of filtering out the thousands of tracks released, leaked, given away for free and played live this past year, we finally are able to bring to you the first of five parts of our Top 100 Progressive House tracks of 2012. This list contains only the biggest and most memorable releases of 2012 making the list due to their lifespan, recognition by artists and the "EDM" community along with well, our personal preference. Keep in mind that this list is in the end, a personally rated list of favorites and not one to reference professionally. If you made [...]
Few shows have ever brought me to a venue like the magnificent Pantages Theater in Los Angeles. It was a chilly night this past Saturday that I got my chance as I caught Keane and Youngblood Hawke performed there, just down the street from the iconic Capitol Records building in Hollywood. The scene that night was nothing short of noteworthy. The show's audience of all ages (literally toddlers to elderly) stood patiently to get in to the Pantages and find their seats as the usual Saturday bar and nightclub night crowd hustled by outside, looking on with interest at the [...]
Have you ever seen something advertising a band playing in your city, and thought, "I'd really like to see them, even though I only know one or two of their songs"? That was the extent of my relationship with Keane until recently. I've certainly heard several of their songs on the radio over the years, [...]
![[EVENT] Keane and Youngblood Hawke @ First Avenue (01/21)](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4717239_lg.jpg)
The first time I saw Youngblood Hawke , there were zero expectations. An unknown band (to me anyways) who had an intriguing name and one big hit, "We Come Running". After being blown away by there performance I have raised the bar and am hoping for a repeat performance when they come back to the great city of Minneapolis at the end of the month. They'll be opening for Keane at the legendary First Avenue on January 21st. Tickets are $34 and you can purchase them by following the link here . Check out [...]
