Knock, knock. Who's there? Sleep. Sleep who? That's exactly how I feel because I haven't seen sleep in I don't know how long. But it's cool, my insomniac tendencies are all for the greater good, as I stayed up late enough to bring you sleepy heads this week's line-up of late night performances. As always, a diverse group of performances make up this week's set. But don't take my word for it, make yourself a believer. Justin Bieber - The Late Show with David Letterman (March 23, 2010) [...]
Audio & video from Rodrigo y Gabriela's appearance on the March 23 appearance on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
Rodrigo y Gabriela perfrom one of the tracks from 11:11 their latest release (9/09) and do so in their signature fast rythmic style. The pair have been selling out venues across the world with a simple yet effective recipe . Just the two acoustic guitars playing open-hearted, passionate, and very good music without a solitary word. Rodrigo y Gabriela 11:11 by rubyworks
Rodrigo y Gabriela played to a packed house at Louisville's Brown Theatre last week and put on one the of best shows I've seen in the past three years (and I've been to about 200). I knew they were good after seeing them at Bonnaroo last year, but that set was in broad daylight, on the big stage and they both were seated the entire time. Even so, it was one of the most memorable performances of the festival. Flash forward to last week and they took their show to a whole new level. Their talent [...]
Rodrigo y Gabriela are two Dublin-based Mexicans that make magic with acoustic guitars. Blending Spanish guitar with metal, their fast-fingered music is nothing short of awe-inspiring. Do yourself a favor and YouTube these chaps! It's not new, but this song never gets old: Rodrigo y Gabriela - "Tamacun" — Basil

Toronto - Flamenco rockers Rodrigo Y Gabriela made their Canadian debut at the Phoenix last Friday and delivered an exhilarating performance that left the crowd positively energized. The fans who were familiar with their work got exactly what they were looking for, and the newbies were about to learn how just how frenzied a show can be with only two acoustic nylon-string guitars. This is the type of show that you want to bring all of your friends to, because you know just how infectious the energy will be. Rod & Gab did not disappoint. [...]
Filed under: Concerts and Tours , News , Exclusive Pop quiz: What do Metallica and Mexican acoustic duo Rodrigo y Gabriela have in common? The answer is simpler than you might think -- both acts are heavily rooted in thrash metal. "The first riff on the new album is totally a metal riff," Rodrigo Sánchez tells Spinner of the lightning-fast lead-off guitar attack of last fall's '11:11.' "Metalheads would pick that up straight away, but since it's acoustic, it just doesn't make sense [...]
Rodrigo Sanchez is one-half of the Mexican instrumental guitar ensemble Rodrigo y Gabriela , with partner Gabriela Quintera. After five albums and endless critical acclaim the duo released their sixth album, 11:11 , in September of last year. This album has the two as musically mind boggling as ever, with each track on the album dedicated to one of the artists that influenced them. MOKB sat down to talk with Rodrigo, over the phone, about the new record and a few other things... MOKB : You [...]
Toronto - Flamenco rock guitar virtuoso's Rodrigo Y Gabriela will be playing the Phoenix this Friday March 5th. It's been a while since I've been this psyched about a live show. The day these tickets went on sale, I high-tailed it over to Rotate This and bought 10 tickets so I could take myself and 9 friends. That's how much I like this band. Rodrigo and Gabriela are two Mexican born guitarists that moved to Ireland to make it as musicians. They grew up on a steady diet of rock, but blend this [...]
As far as I know, tickets are still available for this show tonight, which should be phenomenal. Her flamenco rhythms against his latin-metal solo lines offer a pulsing melodic blend that's just plain sweet to listen to. Particularly if you're a guitar player or an acoustic music lover, it's pretty much a must-see (with the understanding that there are no real consequences of not seeing it other than not seeing it). Rumor is they should be stopping by WYEP in the next hour, so you may want to tune in for a [...]
After a couple of months of relatively casual concert going action, it looks like the month of March is going to be a busy one for me, concert-wise. If you couple that with the fact that life is also going to be quite busy life-wise, than you're going to be looking at a fairly exhausted guy come months end. For the most part however, it'll be worth it, since the month promises not to leave me wanting in terms of high quality shows, so here are a few picks if you're looking for something to do. For more [...]

Yo no sé si soy la única, pero supongo que sí soy de las pocas personas que nunca ha asistido a un Festival Vive Latino . Francamente, cada vez que veo el nuevo cártel me pongo a pensar cuántas de esas bandas ya estuvieron el año pasado, o el anterior, y el anterior a ese. Además, muchos de esos grupos aparecerán también en otros conciertos, como abridores, etc. Total, que si de verdad quisiera verlos, tengo muchísimas más oportunidades. De hecho lo más atractivo del Festival desde hace unos años han sido las bandas extranjeras, [...]

Well, it took a little long than expected, but Mr. Zislin has returned to announce which of these stars will hanging out on from May 14-16. Among them include the now Grammy Award winning outfit the Zac Brown [...]
Guitar virtuoso duo Rodrigo y Gabriela are the focus of this week's Live Friday. This past fall they were out on tour supporting their sophmore album "11:11", and were kind enough to play a live session in front of a small crowd for WXPN. If you've heard these two on their album, you realize how incredible and complicated their instrumental compositions get. If you've seen them live, you're aware how it gets even more mindblowing to see them recreate it in front of your eyes. Sure, you can't actually SEE this session, but just the audio to hear how well [...]
