About 11,000 people flocked to the Memorial Coliseum on Saturday to soak up wisdom from the Dalai Lama during his visit in Portland. After His Holiness gave a final farewell, and received thunderous applause like a rockstar himself, the Red Hot Chili Peppers presented to the enlightened audience a one hour set which showcased their dizzying collection of hit songs. "The Dalai Lama was supposed to sing background on that one," joked bassist Michael "Flea" Balzary after playing "Can't Stop" from their 2002 album By The Way . At 50 years of age, Balzary and frontman Anthony [...]

Antes de formar parte de How to Destroy Angels, Rob Sheridan siempre fue fanático de Nine Inch Nails y de Trent Reznor. Por: @ christianxrojas ¿Quién de ustedes nunca ha soñado por lo menos echarse un palomazo con su banda o artista favorito? ¿Qué sentirían de tener la oportunidad de componer música junto con sus ídolos? O mejor aún, ¿Se imaginan llegar a compartir toda una carrera con aquellos a quienes han admirado durante años? En este mundo, todo es posible y en la música han ocurrido historias fascinantes de [...]

John Frusciante has released a lengthy, darkly emotional rumination, written for a friend that went back to the guitarist's days in the Red Hot Chili Peppers. Wayne Forman, tragically, died before he could hear this tribute. It's of particular interest, of course, because Frusciante's most recent release - 20122s progressive synth-pop stunner Letur-Lefr - contained so little, well, guitar. This [...]

Por: @rulobn Actualmente no existe una fórmula para que un disco debut sea exitoso y trascendental. Tampoco existen razones en común que conecten a los 10 álbumes que menciono en este artículo; sin embargo, siempre hay una historia sencilla o compleja que detrás de un primer disco, hace de éste un momento poco trascendental y que únicamente sirve de referencia tras un camino de esfuerzos y nuevos álbumes. Con el paso de los años, algunos de estos debuts se vuelven de culto, otros gozan de una nostalgia que vive del recuerdo y mucho más, simplemente son [...]

En este "Mes Internacional de la Foto de Morro Pa'l Face" traemos lo que algunos de los más grandes rockstars habrían puesto en sus perfiles si fueran personas comunes y corrientes.

Oh Coachella the stuff of myth and whimsy...breaking ground, artists and all that jazz. Maybe you've read a Coachella recap or two already... but I'm sorry... I've been recovering. After sitting a few years out, I flew deliriously into the desert full of myth and whimsy after a late night of DJing in New York. After soaking up a bit of sun and putting back a few beers, I was feeling the vibes and off to the festival I went. First stop was for my personal Jesus of DJing, DJ Harvey... Spent [...]

Atardecer en Coachella 2013. / Foto: Facebook de Coachella Texto: @christianxrojas La última edición de Coachella concluyó el pasado 21 de abril. Decenas de miles de personas se llevaron a casa recuerdos para atesorar eternamente, además de poder pasarla como nunca en el desierto de California a 35 ºC , al mismo tiempo que escuchaban cientos de bandas repartidas en seis escenarios. Después de tantas emociones vividas en los Empire Polo Fields , es momento de poner sobre la mesa uno de los [...]

Because Coachella's line-up this year hearkens back so very, very much to the days of my childhood, particularly high school, I've spent all weekend doing coverage in the formats I knew best from Freshman English. That means poems, particularly haikus and limericks ! But the concluding day of the festival called for a little somber reflection, and therefore I turned to sonnets, specifically Spenserian sonnets. That means ABAB, BCBC, CDCD, EE, for those rhyming at home, and the whole thing has to be [...]

• The Black Clouds - Fray

The common refrain about Coachella dictates: "It's not about the music, man, it's about the festival experience." With the dance/sex tents in full swing, dozens of corporate-sponsored hideaways at every corner offering shade and mild distraction in exchange for a few minutes of direct advertising access to your brain, and the untamed wilderness of the campground, where god knows what happens all day and night but it certainly ain't music - it's hard to argue.

Two Door Cinema Club This indie rock band from Northern Ireland has enjoyed enormous success in recent years, but the best part is you can still see how hungry and grateful they still are. I first saw them in 2011 when they were playing early in the day to an empty crowd at the Virgin Freefest in D.C. Compare that to the sea of people before them in Indio as they took a minute to thank their fans and appreciate how far they have come. My hat goes off to TDCC; it was special to be a [...]

On le sait, Coachella est l'un des plus gros rendez-vous musical de l'année en terme de festival, le paradoxe étant qu'il est aussi l'un des plus critiqué. Peu importe, ils pensent aux personnes frustrés ne pouvant pas se rendre sur place en filmant la quasi intégralité des shows sur les deux weekends, le premier ayant eu lieu les 12, 13 et 14 avril dernier. Les deux lives faisant le plus de plaisir étant ceux de Jurassic 5 et The Postal Service (qui a malheureusement été supprimé), typiquement le genre de groupe que l'on a très rarement l'occasion de [...]

Who: Red Hot Chili Peppers on the main stage In 3 or Fewer Words: Breathe in, out. Memorable Because: Question for the two bros with whom I entered the festival grounds at noon Sunday, the shirtless guys who were toting two 12-packs and chanting "Red Hot Chili Peppers!" on what was, at that point, a sunny, breezy Sunday: Did you enjoy the show? Did you even see the show? Because if you did, guys, you deserve some kind of prize. And so does the legendary L.A. band, for that [...]

Red Hot Chili Peppers have been touring pretty much non-stop for the last year and a half, and have headlined (or are about to headline) every major music festival. Even if you didn't want to, you probably saw the band perform at some point within the last 18 months. In fact, not even the Dalai Lama will go without seeing the Peppers live. As Spinner points out, the band will perform a special concert for His Holiness during his visit to Maitripa College in Portland, Oregon on May 11th. According to [...]

The best part about festie announcements for us is the back and forth dialogue that fills our inboxes.

Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Holy Hell Getty | AFP They've worn giant light bulbs on their heads at Woodstock and sometimes only socks on their penises, but hopefully the Red Hot Chili Peppers will wear something next month for their audience in Oregon -- the Dalai Lama, who'll be there as part of the Dalai Lama Environmental Summit . According to the summit's site the [...]

The previous year's sold-out Outside Lands was a genre-defying bash with dudes like Metallica, Neil Young, Foo Fighters, Skrillex, Jack White, Beck, and Sigur Ros all sharing the stage. Needless to say our boys over at Superfly Presents had a feat in front of them if they hoped to reach any new milestones in 2013. Can they deliver? Well, it sure looks that way ... while Metallica are true legends in their genre, it's tough to compete with the scale and catalogue of Sir Paul McCartney. Paul just confirmed that in addition to his already-hectic [...]

The official lineup for Outside Lands Festival 2013 is here, and it looks to be pretty good. Topping off the bill are Paul McCartney, Nine Inch Nails, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Phoenix, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The National, Vampire Weekend, D'Angelo, Kaskade, Pretty Lights, Jurassic 5, Willie Nelson, Hall and Oates, and Grizzly Bear. Rounding out the eclectic lineup are Wavves, Young The Giant, Band of Horses, A-Trak, Yeasayer, Matt & Kim, The Tallest Man on Earth, Foals, Youth Lagoon, Gary Clark Jr., Jessie Ware, Dillon Francis, Kurt Vile and the Violators, Surfer Blood, [...]
