Summerfest's little brother (ostensibly) is shaping up pretty nicely. They just announced a wild lineup to close out Summer with, and I tip my hat off to the organizers for including a respectable mix of established artists (Big Boi, Diplo, Passion Pit) in addition to regional heroes like Lucy Michelle & The Velvet Lapelles along with our favorite DJ and multi-instrumentalist, Big Cats! The fest takes place 8/9-8/11 in sprawling Somerset, Sconny. While you'd likely NEVER need to go to Somerset, WI otherwise, it's a gorgeous spot to camp and drunkenly float down [...]
![[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 [...]

Before there was indie music, there was underground music, which was essentially the same thing as what we now call indie, except, as the name implies, no one knew about it. In the '70s and '80s, there were reasons for why music was relegated to pop-up venues and warehouses and basements. Music of the underground could be abrasive or it could be druggy, but regardless of the particulars, it didn’t mix with the mainstream because it deliberately did not appeal to the traditional societal standards.

O amor pelo R&B e o rap levaram Truls Heggero, frontman da banda de indie rock Luckestar , a criar o seu projeto paralelo, o Truls . Em busca de algo diferente do costumeiro e jogando o indie rock para o alto, o norueguês já enche os olhos dos críticos com o seu primeiro single, "Out Of Yourself". Na Noruega, Truls está na lista dos "artistas para ficar de olho" em 2013, atenção conquistada principalmente devido ao elevado número de vendas alcançado. Mas o sucesso inicial do single vai além da sua terra natal e deve render shows [...]

Dillon Francis , Taco Bell-enthusiast and alleged Tiësto doppelgänger, has released his delightful moombahton remix to "Carried Away" as a free download, just as he did with his recent trap remix to Justin Timberlake's " Suit & Tie. " Reworking Passion Pit's summer anthem, Francis splices and transposes the vocals, accentuating the carefree vibe of the original with charismatic chords. The ensuing drop employs a feisty torrent of barking acid synths, and might just be one of the first (and best) well-known cases of acid moombahton. In regards to the tune, Francis remarked: "this and my suit and tie remix might be [...]

O Buchanan vai lançar o debut dia 10 de maio e já avisou que não veio pra brincadeira. Produzido por Catherine Marks (que trabalhou com Foals e Interpol ) e masterizado no lendário Abbey Road, o primeiro registro dos australianos de Melbourne já mira alto antes mesmo de ser oficialmente lançado, e mesmo quem ainda não conhece a banda já está com o disco no radar. Formado no fim de 2009 e liderado pelo vocalista Josh Simons, o Buchanan promete trazer um registro repleto de canções indie pop eletrizantes, ou pelo menos é isso que [...]
