'80s music nostalgia is in the air! Never Gonna Give You Up! Red Red Wine! Back to Life, Back to Reality, and I'm Too Sexy! It's a Glastonbury for the middle-classed, 2 kids-and-a-flat set that bit their lips quaveringly in the 1980s while dancing at the local discotheque. The Rewind Festival m, now in its fourth year, will be held in two locations this coming summer - in Perthshire, Scotland on July 21-22 and in Thames on Henley, England on August 18-19. And the NEW news is that the Rewind [...]

Toronto - 2011 was the beginning of the end for me. At Primavera this May, I saw Pulp one of my two favorite bands. Last December, I saw Suede, my other favorite band. In a span of six months, I saw both my favorite bands, after waiting my entire life to see them. It will never be topped. Every show I've seen since has been diminished in some regard because I will always compare it to the apex of my concert going experience, and it will ultimately fail in comparison. Still, this year, like every [...]

Gli Handsome Furs si ripropongono on stage nel nostro Paese dove presenteranno il loro terzo album in studio, 'Sound Kapital '. A poco più di due anni di distanza da 'Face Control' e tre dall'esordio 'Plague Park'ecco il duo presentarsi di fronte alla prova della conferma pubblicata dalla Sub Pop come i due lavori precedenti. Il duo propone un sound tipicamente anni '80 fra synth e tastiere ma con una sensibilità da terzo millennio. Continua a leggere Handsome Furs a Roma: unico set italiano al Circolo [...]
For me, it's been a great week, seeing the triumphant return of probably the best small label out there. Matinee Recordings had a silent summer, but they're back, and their roster now includes Azure Blue . The group is primarily the project of Tobias Isakkson, who played prominent roles with Irene and Laurel Music . Matinee will be releasing Rule of Thirds this December, and the band is already getting comparisons to groups such as OMD and [...]
The xx's music is fertile ground for imaginative covers, thanks to the space that the band creates and maintains within its own songs. Inspired by yesterday's Everything But The Girl cover of " Night Time ," we've collected nine more of the best xx tributes. Including a bonus Taylor Momsen cover! Score!

OMD It's no surprise that a slew of 80s bands are coming through L.A. and selling out show after show. If you are under 30, you may not have heard of them, or your parents ramble on about them. But the fact is, it's almost impossible for bands today to have hit after hit with the changes to the music industry. So when these bands roll into town, their catalog is vast and very familiar to most. Their music has influenced many bands today, so it's no surprise you find quite a few of today's bands [...]
Friday fun: ► Filter's Culture Collide festival continues its multinational merriment at various venues in Echo Park, highlighted by some some folks you probably already know (Yacht, Avi Buffalo, Ximena Sarinana, the Postelles) and some you might want to investigate — including Australia's WIM (that's their video for "See You Hurry," above), Demark's the Asteroids Galaxy Tour, Belgium's the Black Box Revelation and Australia's the Morning After Girls (whose late set Thursday was great). Plenty of SoCal artists too, including Jason Falkner, the Henry Clay People, Hands and Writer. Full venue, set time info [...]

Story time: At the beginning of the '80s, synthesizer technology advanced in such a way that small, monophonic synthesizers suddenly became affordable for the general public, and the synth went from an elite tool only rock stars could afford to an everyman's axe. Legions of young bands, like Depeche Mode , The Human League , OMD , et al, who might otherwise have gone down the punk-rock road, picked up on the electronic revolution and became synth-poppers instead, and the rest is history. Now it looks like Pioneer may have done something similar for the DJ world [...]
Very few bands are capable of putting out quality content years into their careers. For many artists, a new release can leave the fan base longing for past glories. From 1978 to 1989, the duo of Paul
OMD @ Terminal 5 in March ( more by Dana (Distortion) Yavin ) As Tune-Yards starts her second of two NYC shows at LPR tonight (9/20), OMD will be beginning their first of two shows at Irving Plaza .

We have no clue what Aabenbaringen over aaskammen means... ALBUM REVIEW: Ok we lie, it's Norwegian for roughly the " revelation over the mountain " but after a whole slew of singles this is technically their first end to end record after releasing piles of singles. I of course because I technically live in a cave on the weekend and during the week untangle a mountain of real work related riddles & sniglets it's no surprise i never heard of them but thankfully I'm on Polyvinyl's distro list so some sort of culture [...]

I first experienced the song If You Leave while watching the early 2000s prime time television drama The OC . In the scene, supposed uber nerdy but secretly cool Seth Cohen had just chosen the uber attractive valley girl Summer Roberts over uniquely hip but slightly less attractive but really only by tv standards Anna. In response, Anna decides (as you do, when rejected in grade 10 by a high school crush) to move back to whence she came from, Pittsburgh (where she is no doubt a 10 whereas she's probably a 6 or 7 in la). [...]
Decades-old synth-pop group OMD is set to tour the U.S. once again this fall, with dates in 21 cities across North America. The stint kicks off September 16 in support of last year's History Of Modern (Bright Antenna/ILG). To get a taste of what OMD might be like after 30-plus years in the music business, [...]
I Am Kloot, Crawdaddy Stage Quite an early start for the notoriously heavy-drinking I Am Kloot and John Bramwell does confirm to us that he did have a big night. We get a long, orchestral introduction and then sweep into the most recent album's opener, 'Northern Skies', just tender enough for the aching heads and lively enough to stop us falling asleep. The three-piece have been upped to six for the show and this means we get some live brass and a big sound, which is just as well as the thumping sound from the Electric [...]
