Taking place from August 2nd through 4th in Chicago's centric Grant Park, the festival, which has been held in Chicago since 2005 has booked what can probably be considered its best lineup in years. Headlining the festival this year are The Cure (!!), Mumford & Sons , The Killers , Nine Inch Nails [...]

Michael Roffman and I first met on the Lollapalooza message board back in 2007 and came up with the idea to launch a website that catered to music festival news and rumors. At the time, the music festival boom was just beginning, inspired by a jam festival's decision to book Radiohead. 80,000 people went to Bonnaroo that year - a defining moment for an industry ravaged by Napster and Limewire. People were still willing to pay good money for music, just as long as there were a few potent headliners, a reunion or two, and some of those "indie bands." [...]

You know you’re an amazing musician when you’ve been a part of two influential bands that no one can possibly ever forget. Dave Grohl will forever be remembered as being the drummer of NIRVANA and the full caboose of FOO FIGHTERS , NICK CAVE for the BAD SEEDS and GRINDERMAN , but of course today, it’s all about PETER HOOK . HOOK was a member of one of the most seminal acts of the UK, JOY DIVISION in the [...]

CoS a su vez, informó que The Chicago Tribune publicó una nota donde aparecen los nombres de The Cure , NIN , Queens of the Stone Age , Phoenix , The Postal Service , Mumford and Sons , The Killers y muchos [...]

So what do you get when you take an ex-The Fall guitarist, a current bass player with New Order and a top electronic producer? Rubberbear of course...it's the current side-project by Steve Trafford , Tom Chapman and Phil Birchenall . Now given that Ralph only has a 20 second attention span let's not dwell overly on past and current careers [...]

Ayer se cumplieron 30 años desde que New Order editaran el single 123 Blue monday /The beach (Factory), cerrando así la etapa de transición entre la descarnada intensidad de Joy Division y el pop electrónico que les granjearía tantos adeptos como detractores. Inolvidable desde su portada (el clásico diseño de Peter Saville imitando a un disco flexible), Blue monday nos envuelve por casi ocho minutos en una deliciosa textura formada por baterías programadas, líneas de bajo superpuestas – tanto orgánicas como maquinales- y ritmos secuenciados junto a la inexpresiva voz de Bernard Sumner. La [...]

fDeluxe: “Gaslight”/”Re-Lit” fDeluxe is The Family, the Prince-assembled collective that featured St. Paul (The Time) on bass, keys and lead vocals, Jellybean Johnson (The Time) on drums, Eric Leeds on sax and the sultry Susannah Melvoin (Sister of Wendy or Wendy & Lisa) on Lead Vocals. Their mid-1980s debut CD spawned the hits “Scream Of Passion” and the original version of “Nothing Compares 2 U,” a song Prince wrote for them, not (as it is popularly belived) Sinead O'Connor. Sadly, after the release of that disc (which has yet to be available on CD domestically) [...]

Zoo Story is an editorial column running bi-weekly on Aux.Out., Consequence of Sound’s space for longer and alternative writing. The column is based ever-so slightly on a 1959 play by Edward Albee, ever-so-slightly on topical events, and is mostly the thoughts of managing editor Jeremy D. Larson. - If Pink Floyd and Led Zeppelin can do 10-minute songs and Queen can do 10-minute songs then why can’t we? We’ll figure out the radio edits later. - Justin Timberlake [...]

We had the radio mix of the track the other day . Here's the whole package with the remixes. And, yes, it is THAT Peter Hook. Since we had the original mix previously, let's focus on the remixes. These come from Slabb and Thierry Criscione. Parisian, Slabb (a Malcolm McLaren protoge) takes the lush French house of the original and adds some lovely extra synth bass to go with that from Peter Hook to give a dreamy 80s disco feel. This is rooted on the dance floor, not in cocktail bars. Thierry Criscione goes for indie disco with [...]

Filed under: 47 Second Review Amazon The Smiths are never reuniting. Deal with it. Morrissey plays a half-dozen Smiths songs at every show, so really, what difference does it make what the name on the marquee says anyway? And besides, Johnny Marr , the musical mastermind of that band, clearly moved on 25 years ago and has the resume to prove it ( Paul McCartney , Pretenders , The The, [...]
This is the week you can finally see one of our favorite upcoming "Localchella" shows! New Order will be headlining a show in between their Coachella set dates with opener, Johnny Marr, at the Santa Barbara Bowl on Thursday, April...
![[Audio] Nova Nova & Peter Hook](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4798744_lg.jpg)
French electronica act Nova Nova are gearing up for the release of their new single, Low Ends . Released in April, the track is a collaboration with legendary bassist Peter Hook from New Order . That’s right, I said “from New Order”, because no matter what beef Sumner has, or Hook has, New Order without Hooky really isn’t New Order. Believe me, I saw them last summer, they were good, but not New Order. Also, Sumner’s a hypocrite…but whatever. Anyway, this new track from Nova Nova & Peter Hook has a long and strangely [...]
