The Re:Generation Music Festival will be returning to Horning's Hideout in Oregon the weekend of June 21-24, 2012 and will feature the music of STS9. More on this to come...

In case you missed it, we definitively heard from the Superfly team regarding this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival lineup and how it will be released sometime "tomorrow" via Spotify. They're going to create a playlist of the artists from the festival and I've now heard that it could actually be released closer to midnight tonight, [...]

In case you missed it, the Grammys brought out some serious untz last night with a David Guetta led jam with Chris Brown and Lil Weezy which moved quickly across the room to the Foo Fighters / Deadmau5 collaboration which was a little too rocking for me at first. The dubstep drop was so hilariously [...]

This week in NYC live music brings another interesting and eclectic mix of shows, including a week-long run by Richard Thompson, an all-star cast at the Tibet House Benefit Concert, lots of New Orleans-style funk/soul/jazz, plus shows by Big Gigantic, Mates of State, Yellowbirds, and Zola Jesus, among others. Read on for the weekly highlight reel and show listings...

New Orleans Bingo! Show is currently hosting a three-night residency at 715 St. Charles Avenue (the venue formerly known as Le Chat Noir) and Marc Pagani was there on Friday night to capture some of the rock-n-cabaret magic. Continue on below for a gallery of shots from Friday night. Tonight's show starts at 8 p.m. [...]

Our buddy Nick Irving sent us some shots from the Die Antwoord show this past Saturday night at Irving Plaza in NYC. Looks raucous.

The term "Superjam" can get thrown around a bit around here, but the minute I glanced at the listing of local players gathering around Luther Dickinson's 3-Night residency at the Maple Leaf Bar, it was apparent that some Jazz Fest After Dark-quality improvisational jam sessions were going to transpire in the familiar and friendly confines [...]

The Marigny/Bywater South-by-Southwest stop-through indie fest known as Foburg Fest, now in it's third year after the New Orleans Indie Rock Collective launched in 2010, has rolled out the lineup for this year's event, and will take place March 9-11, this year a safer distance from Mardi Gras fallout than last year's (which came the [...]

Anticipation has been high for Lotus to return to Colorado since their memorable Fourth of July show at Red Rocks. The band came back with a bang, bringing a stellar performance to one of downtown Denver's largest indoor venues, The Fillmore. With a big crowd came a lot of energy that the five part ensemble [...]

Primus dropped into Late Night w/ Jimmy Fallon last night and tore through their classic "Jerry was a Race Car Driver" off 1991's Sailing the Seas of Cheese . They also played "Lee Van Cleef" off of their new album, Green Naugahyde ...

While Phish fans are eagerly awaiting the news of new summer tour dates (including a very likely slot at this year's Bonnaroo Music Festival), frontman Trey Anastasio is busy performing with symphonies on his first ever orchestral tour. The intrepid team at Phish.net followed along with the setlist and photos quickly popped up via the [...]

Thrillcall has been in the concert listings game for a few years now with a site that's similar to the likes of Songkick, Bandsintown, and JamBase. But today, they've announced a new mobile app that will offer a twist on the concert listings game - exclusive ticket offers via mobile to live music fans in [...]

Anyone check out this lineup at the Rock'n'Roll Resort this spring? They're calling it the Rock'n'Roll Resort: A Psybient Soiree. I'm not so sure I dig the name, bu if you're into EDM and live electro, this one looks pretty interesting, with headliners like Shpongle, Conspirator (two sets), Hallucinogen LIVE, and OTT, along with one of my personal favs, Brothers Past (also doing two sets)...

The powerhouse duo of Jay-Z and Kanye West came out so huge in 2011 with the release of the Watch The Throne, an arena rap epic album with Kanye's production value and Jay-Z's smooth flow (along with a rad Beyonce cameo on the second track). Then they did a huge tour, and the live videos [...]

Because they love their fans so much (heh), Umphrey's McGee put up their Super Bowl Village set as a free download on their blog. I'm downloading this right away; I haven't dove into any live UM in a while. It looks like Sigur Rós will be returning to the stage with a new album and [...]

House of Blues just unveiled their annual late night Jazz Fest schedule and once again it is slam-packed with familiar festival favorites, a few newcomers, and a couple of spectacular second weekend Superjams up in the friendlier, darker and tinier confines of the Parish Room. Last year's George Porter Jr./Marco Benevento/Brian Stoltz/Adam Deitch 2 a.m. [...]

February is always an exciting time of year to plan ahead for music festival season and this week has been a busy one around these parts. Everyone else is getting busy, too; it looks like the Bonnaroo website was just relaunched with a new set of 2012 graphics and a promise of an artist announcement [...]

"As long as we stay positive and stick together, we'll probably be doing some more shows, I don't think The Meters will ever stop playing together. The response to that show at The Howlin' Wolf says it all about what people think about The Meters in New Orleans." Yesterday, LMB NOLA got the opportunity to [...]

Safe to say that February 2012 is quite a big month for New Orleans' finest overgrown rhythm section, as Galactic is set to release their latest LP Carnivale Electros on Mardi Gras Day (February 21) on Anti- Records. Their rework of the Al "Carnival Time" Johnson's iconic Mardi Gras tune can be heard below and [...]

The Beach Boys will be showing off their newly reunited selves at this year's Grammy Awards this Sunday night. Joining them for the performance will be Foster The People and Maroon 5. Sigh. The surviving members of The Beach Boys will perform together for the first time in more than 20 years at Sunday's Grammy [...]
