La versión escandinava del Mercury Prize británico reveló su lista de 12 nominados, que incluye a varios favoritos/conocidos de indiHearts y algunos artistas prácticamente ignotos para estas latitudes. El proyecto busca premiar anualmente al mejor disco de los países región nórdica europea, es decir Suecia, Noruega, Dinamarca, Finlandia e Islandia. El ganador, que será dado a conocer el 19 de febrero próximo en una ceremonia en la ciudad de Oslo, se llevará la nada despreciable suma de 20.000 euros. El jurado estará [...]
Quase a finalizar o ano, fica por cá a lista de alguns álbuns/EPs que sinceramente... mais valia não terem cumprido o contrato com as respectivas editoras. Alguns são mesmo *maus*. Ponto. Outros, que são a maioria, revelaram-se uma decepção, sobretudo porque são de bandas com muito bom nome na praça musical e, para espanto meu, (!!) não imaginaria que tal pudesse ocorrer. Atenção que esta lista
( email | facebook | linkedin ) Fifty tracks would have been more like it. So much great material has wound up on the editing room floor that it's downright painful to send this to press. But we've talked enough this year, so we'll send it to press anyway. Here they are, the top 25 songs of 2010. The list comes straight from the iPod, with no other modus or operandi. What an unbelievable year: [...]
What's even more interesting than Danielson's pop-gospel music is the story behind frontman, Daniel Smith. The original Smith band, Danielson Family, could have been a reincarnation of the Partridge family. At very young ages, the family children would play musical instruments and put on performances for family and friends. In Daniel Smith's teens, he had a spiritual epiphany and started to write songs. The family band were known for Smith's screechy vocals, inthralling synchronizations, and theatrical costumes. At some of their unforgettable live shows, they would dress in nurse uniforms or Smith would perform in a nine-foot tall tree that [...]

Frank Yang One might think that after last weekend's three-day salute to the '90s I'd be ready to get back to the 21st century, musically-speaking, but instead last Wednesday night turned the dial on the wayback-machine even further - Chapterhouse was in town. The North American leg of their reunion tour, which began in late 2009, was delayed from May until this Fall due to volcanic ash though the Toronto show was cancelled earlier for reasons unknown. Hogtown was back on for the new dates, however, and at a larger venue no [...]

Zullen we het weer eens over Deer Tick hebben? Al sinds 2007 loop ik te gillen dat dit zo'n geweldige band is. Dat ze dan een aantal jaar later, afgelopen vrijdag, gewoon voor mijn neus staan te spelen in Middelburg, dat mag een klein wonder heten. Als fanboy van het eerste uur moet dat een onvergetelijke ervaring zijn geweest, niet? Viel dus wel mee, wel was het optreden erg "vermakelijk". Dat woord "vermakelijk" zie ik mezelf steeds vaker gebruiken voor het weergeven van mijn subtiele afkeer of teleurstelling. Het voorprogramma Caitlin Rose verdiende dat woord niet [...]
For some reason I haven't got round to listening to the new Serena Maneesh 'S-M 2: Abyss in B Minor' album in full, bit silly because I liked what I'd heard (was a wee bit 'Vanishing Point' era Primal Scream) and I enjoyed their debut. Even though this Stereolab remix has essentially been turned into a Stereolab song, I'm most deff gonna be turning my ears towards S-M 2: Abyss in B Minor this weekend.

Serena-Maneesh and Efterklang don't have all that much in common. Both bands hail from Scandanavia and both are coming to the U.S., which seems to be where any comparisons would cease. Still, they are both awesome bands and we're thrilled to be giving one lucky reader the chance to see both bands when they hit... Read More
