all photos by Dave Lichterman What a bill! If you were at Crocodile Tuesday night, you sure got your 15 dollars worth. Swedish electro-pop duo Niki & The Dove blew our minds (as usual) with their soundscape of 80s pop glory, but luckily for those that arrived early, both openers played strong sets that were met with much acclaim from the crowd. Local act Nightmare Fortress owned the night in terms of bells and whistles and leather, while Vacationer mixed dance music with laid back beach jams to give everyone [...]

New York duo The Chainsmokers (half of which is D'Anconia , who's already a Caveman Sound favorite) have been making some serious noise lately. Their latest conquest is a remix of a track by the uniquely voiced Jónsi , lead singer of Sigur Ros, with which they've capitalized on the magical vocals, added some huge synths, and transformed the track into an epic, high energy, progressive house anthem. If this embodiment of pure bliss doesn't make you yearn for the summertime, we're not sure what will. We expect nothing but greatness coming from these guys going [...]

Listen to the Niki & The Dove remix of 'The First' by Body Language.
Best of 2012: #31-40 When you go about listening to your favorite song of the year, one quickly starts to see the pattern that most of these songs sound like they belong in a post john hughes outsider coming of age/first heartbreak soundtrack for the new decade. Just playing all the songs within this grouping makes me realize that if anyone is looking for a music supervisor of something similar, please look me up! Besides the cinematic pop epicness of clock opera, niki and the dove, kindness, paloma faith (drama ballad of the year yo!) [...]
This rich, dark electropop group is taking SF. Score some free tickets to see them live.
Facebook I don't know what you've got planned this weekend - me, I'm going to go buy a curtain rod - but if you think you'll require a ray of musical sunshine to brighten up the proceedings or, conversely, need a soundtrack to an itinerary full up to the gills with fun, you could do far worse than to fire up the advance stream of Shugo Tokumaru's new record In Focus? , available to stream now at Under The Radar . It's the Japanese [...]
For a self-professed Ghetto Bass advocate more commonly associated with Affie Yusuf than Austra ; his longstanding counterpart Sinden than moody Bristolians Seasfire, Save Me is quite something. Joshua Harvey, aka The Count , aka Hervé releases his latest full-length, The Art Of Disappearing , this coming spring and whilst house has been his bread and club his butter since the later naughties, if Save Me is anything to go by then he is to sheath the breakfast knives and instead pick up a directly incisive proclivity for those more intensely affecting strands of electronica. A [...]
Niki and the Dove are back in New York. Instead of playing support, Niki and the Dove headlined a sold out Bowery Ballroom. The duo hailing from Stockholm, Sweden did not disappoint nor were there any jitters from such a big show. There is something instantly engaging with Niki and the Dove. Be it the more
Live music picks for TUESDAY JANUARY 15 through SATURDAY JANUARY 19, 2013. TUESDAY JANUARY 15 / WILLY MASON / THE GREAT HALL / 332-334 QUEEN W / $12 / ALL AGES 28-year-old folk singer/songwriter Willy Mason has accomplished quite a bit since he burst onto the scene in 2005. He's released three albums, including Carry On , which came out just over a month ago. And perhaps most impressive, he's toured with such artists as Mumford & Sons , [...]
Diane Sagnier Tame Impala's second album Lonerism topped more than a few 2012 year-end lists, and while it doesn't do much for me - despite on paper being exactly the sort of thing I should like - if you were to say that Kevin Parker was behind one of the year's finest psychedelic pop records, I would be inclined to agree with you. Except that I would be talking about Melody's Echo Chamber . Describing Melody's Echo Chamber as the [...]
Niki and the Dove kick off a US tour today in Philly. We last caught the Swedish duo at the Music Hall of Williamsburg last fall when they were opening for Twin Shadow. This time they're headlining, and we're psyched. Here are the dates: 01/10 - Union Transfer - Philadeplphia, PA 01/11 - Rock N more
