by Tiana Feng Last night, Bravestation celebrated the release of their new EP IV at The Drake Hotel. If you haven't heard it yet, it is available for free on Bandcamp . Opening up the night was rapper TFHOUSE. Their recorded stuff (available on Bandcamp ) is alright, but I thought the live performance was a bit of a joke and kind of unprofessional. There was [...]

Lovelife live at Irving Plaza, 5.9.13. Photo Courtesy of Justin Bettman. I have a well documented love for Lovelife . My flirtation with their music started when I saw them open for The Neighbourhood at the Studio at Webster Hall last year. With every new release, I fell more in love with their anthemic pop songs mixed with R&B tinged pops of percussion. Emotive lyrics about exes, betrayal, realizations and renewal set to throbbing beats and lead singer Lee Newell' unfaltering falsetto pierce the ears with such effervescent ease, [...]

14 Reasons I Love Dave Malloy's Opera based on War and Peace. Phillipa Soo as Natasha in NATASHA PIERRE AND THE GREAT COMET OF 1812, Photo By Chad Batka You get perogies and vodka. Dave uses bass clarinet, english horn, and gut rumbling club music all in the same piece. One scene inside of the opera is a hilarious parody of an opera. A bunch of the actors, and almost all of the
By Ani Hajderaj Toronto’s Toika Lounge is usually known for bringing in ASOT trancers and the freshest progressive house talent however what about the locals? Impact Productions threw their first party at Toika Lounge, called “Ascension”. The line up featured Henry Yoong (Kid Zero), Saad Ayub and Gary Sagoo (Gary Flux Muzik). Each one of them spun a different vibe. The night began with Kid Zero spinning a very progressive set warming up the crowd. Saad Ayub played [...]
![[LIVE] Vampire Weekend – Apogee’s Berkeley Street Studio for KCRW](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4950034_lg.jpg)
Photo by Brenda Janair Vampire Weekend are an institution. Or at least they feel that way to me. Looking at their name on my invitation to see them live at KCRW's Apogee Berkeley Street Sessions brought back so many memories. The 2008 Los Angeles live show that left few concrete memories in it's wake of dancing and fun. Two months later in Berlin they showed up to play ping pong at my all time favorite bar . (Ezra is pretty ace). There was the time a year an a half later when I pecked out my disappointed Contra [...]
Phoenix may have been one of this year's Coachella headliners, but they've also been treating fans to more intimate performances by playing shows in smaller venues. Last night, they took to Harlem's iconic, deceptively tiny Apollo Theater. We sent Robert Altman to check out the action.
NOAH AND THE WHALE definitely wanted to make the release of their fourth longplayer Heart Of Nowhere special. They filmed a short movie, hid six cassette copies of the album in six UK record which had to be found by the fans to unlock an album stream and since the last Sunday in April they’ve The post Noah And The Whale - Heart Of Nowhere appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .
Portland venue Roseland played host to Atlanta rap kingpins Big Boi and Killer Mike. Big Boi performed a hits-filled set, replete with his own solo material and a significant part of his contribution to OutKat's catalogue, while Mike did tracks from both R.A.P. Music and Pledge Allegiance . Check out our pictures of the show, shot by Colin McLaughlin .
Oxford band Foal 's show at the Kool Haus on Saturday was as expected, a wild and energetic affair that left the packed crowd abuzzed and rocking. In town to promote their third album - Holy Fire , Foal's tight set had many highlights but lets just take a look at one for now. Yannis Philippakis is the lead vocalist of Foals. Ask any girl who is a fan of the band and they will instantly swoon at the mention of this bearded man, who always seem to be on the verge of chaos during a show. He [...]
A sold out Fonda Theatre soaked up every soulful music note and epic hair-whip from Jim James, touring in support of his solo album, Regions Of Light And Sounds Of God . During the encore, Monsters Of Folk bandmate Conor Oberst dropped by to lend a hand for "Dear God (Sincerely M.O.F.)." Cold Specks kicked off the evening with her silky smooth vocals. Check out the photos in the gallery above and the setlist below. Read More...
Poster for GOAT's First US Tour BY PETER LILLIS Korpilombolo, Sweden is a remote "locality" in northern Sweden. With approximately 530 residents, Korpilombolo recently gained notoriety for being home to the mysterious GOAT, a fast rising and fantastic psychedelic rock band with a penchant for tribal drums, blues-drone freakouts and voodoo-like masks. Wrapping up their first US tour, GOAT played sold-out shows at some of our top venues, including The Music Hall of Williamsburg, Austin Psych Fest and the Empty Bottle. We were fortunate enough to catch their Chicago date, [...]
We forgot to ask Gary Wolstenholme if there were as many annoying pricks wearing backpacks at Hatebreed's Manchester Academy 2 show as there were when the band played London , mainly because Jamey Jasta's face just brings out the urge to M0SH in us. Yep. -- Hatebreed @ Manchester Academy 2 - 30 April 2013 c/o Gary Wolstenholme [...]

Pete Seeger bluntly refutes the oft-told notion that he tried to pull the plug on Bob Dylan's first electric performance at the Newport Folk Festival in 1965. In fact, Seeger says he was upset over the primitive sound system. "I was furious that the sound was so distorted, you could not understand a word he was singing," Seeger says, in [...]
Après le #1 Festival (bundy), après le #1 Festival (bundy 2), point à l'horizon le #1 Festival (bundy 3)... Comme les précédentes éditions, le festival (organisé par WeWant2Spectacle) est marqué par ce qui faisait le sel des couples d'antan: la fidélité. Fidélité à son antique rideau ignifugé , qui garnit le fond scène depuis la création du festival et qui a déjà vu se produire devant lui Gomina , Shit Browne , Tahiti 80 ou Mehdi [...]
Les Savages, le groupe post-punk féminin le plus hype du moment (il n'y en a pas 50 en même temps) a donné hier soir un concert au Ministry of Sound de Londres, un lieu plus connu pour ses soirées techno/house/mojito que pour des concerts de rock. Il était diffusé en direct dans le cadre du « Creators Project » de Vice/Intel et le replay a été rendu disponible il y a quelques heures sur Youtube. L'occasion de découvrir leur énergie live autrement qu'avec des vidéos enregistrées avec un téléphone portable. Bon, quelques morceaux sont un peu plus faiblards [...]
