The grim attempts to force us to have fun connected to the Olympics grind on. (I've checked, by the way, it really is the Olympics we're hosting and, sadly, not the Laffalympics - the hope that we might get to see Yogi Bear and Muttley racing each other to climb to the top of Big Ben was the one piece of hope to which I was clinging.) So, as part of the kick-off, there's going to be big concert with a band representing each of the home nations. The line-up has just been announced : [...]
I walked out to my car this morning, basking in the knowledge that it's Friday, and suddenly found myself basking in a 68 degree bright sunny morning.
I don't know whether I had heard Avalanche by Folks some time ago, clocked it as a great song, and subsequently completely forgotten about them, or whether the wave of familiarity and quality I was struck with was purely down to the brilliance of the track. I hope it was the latter, but really, it doesn't matter. What does matter is that Folks are yet another fearsomely talented act from Manchester. Yes, the same Manchester that gave us Wu Lyf, Secret Pilot etc etc etc. The one band that may be of note however is Oasis, specifically Noel [...]
Three dates smack in the middle of the Christmas festivities, an intimate venue and arguably one of the most popular mainstream Rock`N`Roll bands the UK has ever produced. Tickets sold out in minutes, it was a gloriously sweaty affair with the 2000 capacity crowd enjoying a massive two hour greatest hits set-list. The pure ease was evident at which Kelly Jones & Co adapted to there surroundings, i`ve seen this band command the most iconic venues this country has to offer. The Royal Albert Hall gig two years ago was like standing next to a Jumbo jet taking off while [...]
The band will be our house band during the live show on December 20…
Question EP from Lophanta Music, includes 4 Techno-Minimal Tracks with the remixes from: Massimo Girardi and Sean Random.
Kelly Jones has told Xfm the band are planning to go all Quadrophenia for album eight....
Since launching in 2009, Arthur's Day has done a great job of establishing itself on the Irish musical calendar, with affordable performances from well-known bands – especially those in intimate venues – difficult to turn down for the money-conscious music lover. For all its obvious merits – price, surprise factor at the pub gigs, exposure for local artists and affordable drinks to name just a few – there are still things that don't sit quite right. Heavily shortened sets, line ups that are perhaps a touch too eclectic to really meld and the idea that you're being asked [...]

Foster the People tourmates Gardens & Villa's self-titled debut drops TODAY on Secretly Canadian. The LP is jammed from pillar to post with hazy West Coast Brit-influenced heaters. "Cruise Ship" sounds somewhere between Oasis or Stereophonics (at their quieter more blues-ish moments) , Fleetwood Mac maybe, and 2011 indie rock. Get involved below.

Graeme, younger brother of Wayne Rooney, is heading to Worthy Farm : Graeme tweeted yesterday: "Cnt wait 4 glasto with @WayneRooney, boozeville yerrrrrrrrrrrrrr." But within minutes of the tweet going online it was mysteriously removed. I'm sure everyone who wanted to go and watch the bands or comedy or other acts and failed to get tickets will be delighted knowing that there's plenty of room for rich people to get drunk, something they clearly couldn't do anywhere else in the world. Still, Gordon doesn't see a problem: Wayne, who is in Barbados with [...]

We went to the world premiere of AC/DC's new DVD, Live At River Plate at London Hammersmith Apollo. Angus Young was sat 2 rows in front and there was free tequila.
July Days deliver a healthy dose of classic Anglo guitar pop (think a Kelly Jones fronted 00's Oasis) on "Electric Love". Big guitars, leather jackets, psychedelic harmonies, the Melbourne-based quartet have done their homework, "Electric Love" amounts to a great first offing.

There have been a number of legendary singer/songwriters that have covered Neil Young's Heart of Gold over the years such as Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson, but it's pretty safe to say we'll never see Bob Dylan taking a pass at it. In a 1985 interview with Spin Magazine Dylan explained his annoyance with Heart of Gold... The only time it bothered me that someone sounded like me was when I was living in Phoenix, Arizona, in about '72 and the big song at the time was "Heart of Gold." I used to hate [...]
