S/O to all our family "South Coasting" it right now. Tout route. Skylab ( Facebook ) Rating 8.3

On en sait toujours pas plus de qui est Skylab, à part qu'ils sont au moins deux. (puisqu'ils utilisent « we » dans leurs textes de présentation) Après leur track Everything qui nous avait fait s'intéresser à eux, ils sont de retour avec Riviera, toujours via leur chaîne Youtube, et accompagné d'une vidéo représentant bien leur univers, les années 70 et le sud de la France. On décolle avec un sample d'Alan Braxe, et on atterit après un voyage groovy fait d'une basse lente et sourde. Pari réussi pour Skylab, qui nous emmènent loin encore une fois, et [...]

Après un premier EP remarqué chez les Lyonnais de Shiny Disco Club , Kartell sort un nouvel opus mais cette fois-ci ça se passe chez Roche Musique . Efficace à souhait, cette house qui sent la fraicheur de l'été, est ce qui caractérise le mieux le producteur. « Riviera » est composé de 5 titres house qui ont une influence certaine puisée dans la French Touch, et sortira le 21 mai. Le clip du très bon « Pantera » arrive quant à lui le 14 mai. Si vous voulez avoir [...]

You might remember a band called Riviera. Back in the day when we were flush with ad revenue, we started a little record label to release music by bands we loved. One of those bands was Riviera. It doesn't hurt when the founder of the band is one of the founders of the record label (just ask Superchunk). Anyway, Glorious Noise Records ran out of money and went on hiatus, and Riviera relocated to Portland. The label's still on hold but Riviera is back in action with a new EP called Watching [...]

there are a lot of bands that break, that shouldnt. i could rattle off at least 100+ just within the past 2 years, that were not worthy of your attention, no matter small it may be. then again, i can rattle off even more bands that are worthy of your attention, and thats the whole point of this little site. granted, music is all personal/subjective but ive been around long enough to see right through most of what is purely hype, and what is genuine. call it a gift, or call me a dick. whatever.

So happy to have so much new material from Riviera as of late.. and this one in particular is hitting my brain in all the right places.

Leslie Feist gave Chicago concertgoers a night of peaceful indie rock on Friday. Playing to a sold-out crowd at the Riv (including Mayor Rahm Emanuel in a box seat), Feist came on after what might be described charitably as a "weird" set from The Happiness Project. The crowd was polite towards the rangy six-member collective, with their wandering mix of spoken word and emphatic saxophone, but they were really there, of course, for Feist. Feist seems smaller in person than one might expect, a strangely compact vessel to carry such a voice. She brings lots of [...]

well, well, well, this is really a surprise! a great one, mind you. one of chicago's best local bands, well they were at one time at least, cause now they're in portland, but riviera is releasing a new five song ep in decemeber/january entitled watching western skies . most likely unless youre a fan of glorious noise , derek phillips is one of, or is the founder of said site, or lived in chicago, you probably havent heard of these gents, but now's your chance to hop on the train. i was and still am a [...]
Toward the end of a two-plus-hour set Friday night, Smashing Pumpkins frontman Billy Corgan pointed up to a side balcony and proudly announced, "There's my brother, Jesse." Cheers went up from the crowd, big waves from Jesse. Then Corgan jokingly demanded, "Where's your father? He's drinking? He's smoking weed?" Genuine enjoyment pulsed through this tireless homecoming show for Corgan, who grew up in a suburb by O'Hare and was clearly feeling in his element. He teased. He improvised. He wailed, "Oh, Chicago, I'm coming home to you!" "In [...]
Os Metronomy, depois do seu último álbum 'Nights Out', parece que abandonaram em definitivo o cenário muito em moda há cerca de 3/4 anos, quando muita coisa que mexia pelo Reino Unido era propor uma nu-rave diferente da estabelecida pelos Klaxons. 'The English Riviera', o seu mais recente álbum, invoca efectivamente esta distância, encontrando agora a banda uma espécie de encruzilhada

La regina assoluta delle vendite dell'ultimo anno e mezzo prosegue la sua scalata all'Europa. Caro Emerald, la 31 enne cantante jazz olandese ha ormai portato il suo album "Deleted scenes from the cutting room floor" su livelli incredibili per un artista non di lingua madre inglese.
