Shoreline Is = Off The World These sunny songs are birthed not in the sand of warm beaches or the light of the summer sun, but rather in the antithesis. Dortmund, Germany is where these dream-pop tunes were crafted, " driven by what you've always been longing for, but can't have: Everything fleeting, floating and out of reach ". Go grab three pleasing, season inducing tracks at bandcamp .
System of a Down have recently announced a few of their shows scheduled for the West Coast. The closest two at this time will be at Shoreline Amphitheatre Sunday, May 15 and The Pearl in Las Vegas for those readers...

Today I got to check out Temper Trap and catch Sweet Disposition" ". Love that damn song. Shout out to Whiz for putting me up on game waaaaaay back. I also had a chance to get down with Amp Live in promotion for his upcoming album "Murder at the Discotech" out June 15th. If you forgot, I'm featured on the lead off single, "Gary Is A Robot" . Get That.
Most people assume that using drugs you've found lying on a city sidewalk is a perfectly reasonable and safe thing to do. Thus, they're often surprised when I tell them a story which reveals that perhaps, in some rare cases, found drugs are better left alone. It was the summer of 2003, the war in Iraq had just been won, Gary Coleman was running for governor and Uncle Kracker was beginning to Drift Away (so sad). In the few years prior, I had developed an angst-fueled obsession with Radiohead and was excited when they announced two [...]
![[Photos] Willkommen Collective – Corn Exchange, Brighton 03/04/10](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/2459944_lg.jpg)
A homecoming show of sorts, Brighton's own Willkommen collective took over the Corn Exchange to showcase their multi instrumental talents, and offer the audience their malteasers. Well it was easter after all. TLOBF was there to record it in pictures. Shoreline Sons Of Noel And Adrian [...]
Kings Cross hasn't quite shaken off its seedy air entirely but Kings Place on York Way is a good example of just how much times have changed. Certainly different to 14/15 years ago when I did a nights work as a cross between security guard and Satellite truck technician. That evening outside an Antipodean pick up joint, not unlike the Walkabout but without its air of sophistication was beyond grim. LiveTV! were broadcasting a dating show from within the sawdust floored cesspit, while I did my best to fend off aggressively beered up rugby types. The trip to [...]
neil mcsweeney plies his trade in territory that's been radio blighted by every guitar wielding blubbering hormonal sac with a plastic soul to bare, with blanditudes proffered to soft-faced men in shiny cars and bleary-eyed women drinking wine alone in over-decorated apartments. territory that once encompassed a buncha folks from sam cooke to hank williams to bob dylan to tom waits - fella's (and fellettes) that strap on a six string or piano and bash out an honest to god song – now reduced to the sad bit in hollyoaks or the credits montage at the end of some sporting [...]
Mumford & Sons have definitively come to an end of their packed out 2009 tour schedule, finishing up with their second to last date at the Talking Heads pub Southampton on Thursday night. They topped a mixed bill, consisting of regular fixture Pete Roe, and the not quite so well received Shoreline , whose ten member assembly of progressive folk packed out both the stage and, unfortunately, the unusually well-populated smokers area. Pete Roe and his distinctly British storytelling opened the show. Topped in a black hat and beard, [...]
Here at The Blue Walrus, we've all been massive fans of Mumford & Sons since the boys first hit the road a couple of years back, so much so that there was almost a punch up when I beat Tim to it and featured the band here not so long ago. Seeing them at the Cambridge Junction on Sunday marked the fifth time I've gone out to see the band play, and the boys are still absolutely magnificent. Made up of four multi-instrumentalists who are talent-soaked up to their very pretty ears, Mumford & Sons aren't [...]
Hot off a spectacular four night stand at Red Rocks, Phish heads west for their first Bay Area concert in six years. Our own DaveO will be tweeting live from Shoreline @YEMblog . Be sure to follow him and check out YEMblog.com for the latest and greatest Phish-related content. Anyone have any predictions for what to expect tonight? I'm thinkin' Sand.
was auch immer so mancher kritiker unter laptopfolk verstehen mag, mich wird er nicht auf seine seite ziehen. dabei bin ich schon zu haben für genrezuordnungen, stilhinterfragungen und gewisse szeneabhängigkeiten. wenn ich aber ein neunköpfiges ensemble, das auch auf der bühne mit fidel und standup bass, mit gitarren und trommeln agiert, auf elektronisches werkzeug reduzieren will, stimmen die verhältnisse ganz und gar nicht. shoreline aus brighton bretzelte mir den sonntag gewaltig auf, indem sie herzerfrischenden folk zaubern, der organischer klingt, als man es sich träumen mag. die wurzeln sind deutlich, doch ein verhangen [...]
So here we are. Best albums of 2008. Good year I have to say, I may have contenders for best of decade that come from this very year - good sign, no? Disclaimer - While I tend to convince myself that I know music, I only know what I hear and actually take the time to really dig my teeth into. That being said, I am always correct and I take criticism terribly. There is always something I discover too late to move up the list or something I forget all [...]
Alright, which one of you pulled the fire alarm? Bender!?!? With high expectations, a few drinks already imbibed, and tickets procured several weeks ago, two cars full of potential Health Ledger For Oscar fanclub members left their cushy Echo Park hobo homes and drove to the Arclight Cinema in Hollywood for a midnight screening of The Dark Knight . That is the name of the new Batman movie, in case you've bee locked up in a closet getting fisted by your pedophile uncle for the past six or seven months. After a short [...]
Tom Cowan, guitarist, and Beatrice Sanjust, vocalist, are the two members of the folk and slowcore duet Shoreline. Tom is from UK and Beatrice from Italy. They both have the same taste for warm and poetic music. Somewhere between the sweetness of Low and the authenticity of Joanna Newsom, Shoreline ...
