Rage Against the Machine celebrated their 20th anniversary last year with XX , which included their remastered self-titled 1992 debut and their 1991 demo tape. Now, thanks to YouTube user CowProd , we can enjoy more from that era with video of an in-store performance at Long Beach's ZeD Records from March 29th, 1992. The 40-minute set features the band cramped between aisles, furiously delivering tunes like "Take the Power Back", "Settle for Nothing", "Killing in the Name Of", "Freedom", and more. Relive the glory days of a shirtless Tom Morello by watching below.

By the time the Stones opened their tour in November, more than three years had passed since their last American concert. Because of a conviction on a drug charge, guitarist Brian Jones had been unable to get a U.S. visa, thereby preventing the band from coming to America. Jones' untimely death in July, 1969 paved the way for the arrival of a new band member, Mick Taylor, and the opportunity to tour once again. [...]

On October 7, Elfman will sing in public for the first time in 18 years, accompanied by the BBC Concert Orchestra, to perform some [...]

' Diamonds ' by Rihanna is quickly becoming the cover of choice. Soulstress Jessie Ware picked the song for her mystery cover for BBC Radio 12s Live Lounge. Check out her silky-smooth performance. We personally prefer Mutya Keisha Siobhan's harmonised version of the track, but let us know which interpretation you love best. The post Jessie Ware covers Rihanna's 'Diamonds' for Live Lounge appeared first on We Are Pop Slags .

Nerina Pallot brought her Lonely Valentine   Club tour to London this week, and WAPS was invited along to the intimate date (ooh-er) at Islington's Assembly Hall. Promoting a new EP of the same name, Pallot welcomed her audience to the Lonely Valentine's Club, pointing out that it was business as usual from the straight talking singer-songwriter. The show featured stripped back versions of her back catalogue, including 'Everyone's Gone to War', 'Put Your Hands Up' and 'All Bets Are Off', as well as new material from the 'Lonely Valentine' EP. She introduced ' Once ' as a metaphor [...]

Video of producer / DJ Holly Herndon performing at the Boiler Room. It's not the most accessible Boiler Room set you'll see; it actually takes Holly about twelve minutes to present some semblance of a steady beat. However, it's still pretty awesome to see her perform the mind-bending strangeness of her debut album live. Find a review for Herndon's perplexing Movement here . Listen to the audio of this set here .

Photos by G. Joey Arias As a person who experiences seeing hundreds of live shows a year, I can honestly say that one of the best performers I've ever seen is Joey Arias.  Joey Arias wrapped up a 3 week residency at Joe's Pub in New York on February 10, 2013 and not even the after effects of a blizzard could keep the sold out crowd away.  It's hard to describe Joey Arias other than to say he is otherworldly.  For those that have never had [...]

Ok, if you love Beyonce then you are in complete anticipation of her highly-awaited performance at the Superbowl. Beyonce will most probably throw Madonna's gig out of the ballpark (forgive the pun). We know that Destiny's Child are allegedly going to show up because of Michelle's facial expressions here , still what we are really looking forward to is her grand new song debut. We feel like it's going to be stellar! Because we live far away in Kuwait City, we have managed to figure out how we are going to watch it/ stream it live - and [...]

Here's a little clip of rehearsal footage, aptly titled 'Countdown to Touch Down'.

Cosmo Sheldrake 'Prefusify' from Bat On Ball Creations on Vimeo . I watched this video the other day of Cosmo Sheldrake performing his track Prefusify in a laundrette and it completely blew me away. Laundrette performances should probably become a common thing, I'd be completely down for that - imagine the business they'd get! Anyway, you should go watch this video now. Enjoy.
