Whether it's Radiohead, Justice or Kanye West, lots of artists have used children's choirs in their music and it can have the effect of sounding uplifting, cute, anthemic or just plain creepy. The Langley Schools Music Project album, Innocence & Despair showed that's even possible to maintain the concept for an entire album and still be fascinating. Sigur Rós are the latest to use a children's choir in their gorgeous track "Varúð" (translation: "Caution") from their upcoming sixth LP, Valtari , and it inspired me to make a mix of some of my [...]

But you'd never know it from the energy Tuesday night at the El Rey Theatre, where the Liverpool trio gave a show that was all about exuberance. The tunes from the band's sophomore album "This Modern Glitch" might as well have been caffeine for the young crowd, which warmed up with sets from New jersey's the Static Jacks and SoCal quintet the Neighbourhood , the latter of whom were playing their first proper L.A. show to an audience peppered with [...]
Brit pop, sweaty hair flying, and dancing filled The El Rey Theatre Tuesday evening. Everyone seems to be buzzing about the first opener The Neighbourhood with record executives in the house ready to sign. Static Jacks have been touring with its girlfriend The Wombats for many months and frontman Ian Devaney owns the stage.

By Emilia D'Albero When The Wombats' last show at Webster Hall in October ended in thunderous applause and shrill cheers, it was clear that they would definitely be back again soon to shake the venue with bouncing bass riffs and catchy synth melodies. Last Thursday, The Wombats did indeed return to New York City- to Webster Hall again, in fact- and elicited perhaps even more excited and intense reactions from the audience than they had in October. Even before doors ...
Washington DC - No matter how good a concert, there is always a little hole in my heart when my other half (aka Celeste) is not with me. The size of the hole grows larger the more danceable (or, in our case of limited dance skillz, wiggle-inducing) the music. Last night's concert, featuring The Static Jacks and The Wombats ripped my heart in two. These bands were sooooo good live and their music is irresistibly catchy. First up were The Static Jacks who did what any good band does: gets on-stage and rocks out hard with [...]
