Many of these countries have cottages where the groups meet and carry out the objectives of the organization. The cottages are arranged in a ring that encloses a courtyard and stage where the performances are held. [...]

Tonight’s set was delivered at ear-ringing volume, particularly ‘Beezledub’ & ‘Lush 3’, and the crowd couldn’t get enough of it. Called back at the end of the show for two encores the Hartnoll brothers were clearly moved by the rapturous appreciation and having as good a time as the heaving mass they were leading along. Add to this mix a [...]

Amongst the fjords of Norway a producer by the name of VON B is churning out some damn fine Scandinavian progressive house. Perhaps the Swedes get all the media glory, as the Norweigan portion of the Scandinavian peninsula hasn't made quite as big of a splash of yet in the house music realm, but producers like VON B, Orjan Nilsen and recently signed Pryda Friends producer Fehrplay are looking to change the game. VON B is gaining support all over Norway for bringing the likable progressive commercial sound to house music and [...]

In 2008 I became the first female Swedish artist to play at the Lollapalooza festival. It was also my first US tour and now, four years later I've done a lot of tours and am on my biggest one ever.

Danish indie folk band The White Album make it difficult to do two things. One is to stop humming their catchy melodies, and the other is to google them. Seriously, you'll wade through ten feet of Beatles references before you find them... But, like sifting for gold, it's worth it when you find the treasure you're looking for. The Album has been getting the band a lot of attention, championing them over twenty thousand plays on their bandcamp in only seven months and earning them play on the UK's Amazing Radio. In fact, [...]

• TheWhiteAlbum - The Album

Words by Jim Oh man. I really hope that the name of this post hasn't confused you. Yes. You read that correctly. The name of this band is The White Album . And get this, the name of their release is called The Album and it's more the length of an EP. Wait, what? Yes. Well, now that we've gotten past that little hiccup, let's get down to business: this band is tremendous (and Danish). The Album by The White Album [...]

Playing live at Stardust Video and Coffee in Orlando, FL Happy New Year! This has been a great year with lots of stuff happening. I made 4 EP albums with 4 different producers, the wonderful guys in my backing band. And all of you chipped in and funded the releases so that we were able to finish the project. 4 ass-kicking metal bands did 4 ass-kicking cover albums of my EPs and one of them actually released a video too (or rather will release in a few days so I'm cheating by [...]
