Grayson Capps is classic troubadour, an acoustic country blues performer steeped in the Southern culture - you're never going to capture the true nature of a live performance on film but this DVD release from Hyena Records is up-close and personal and a excellent buy whether you're a fan already or have an appreciation for the raw troubadour experience this is a must have, treat yourself to the DVD at Amazon which comes with an [...]

B@ tv is in beta fase zoals dat heet, maar belooft een populaire community te worden. DJ sets om naar te luisteren zijn er al genoeg op het internet, maar meekijken in de club is iets wat je nog maar weinig of niet tegen komt. We hebben hier natuurlijk onze eigen Eclectro Directo met live video optredens vanuit de studio of zolder van de optredende artiest. Er was zoiets als Fabchannel voor concerten in Paradiso (check trouwens Moshcam voor een soortgelijk Australisch initiatief). Maar complete videoregistraties van clubnights is toch redelijk uniek te [...]

Aaah! Fast hätte ich's vergessen: Fabchannel macht dicht! Schuld sind Lizenzstreitigkeiten mit den Plattenfirmen und als Folge dessen fehlendes Geld. Es bleiben also nur noch drei Tage, um sich die vielen schönen Konzerte anzugucken. Ich empfehle besonders Shows von MGMT , The Presets , Cold War Kids und Buraka Som Sistema .
When we decided to attend the Animal Collective show on Wednesday, I wanted to have a foretaste so I surfed to Fabchannel: the source for live recordings in Paradiso and other Dutch venues. Much to my surprise, however, I discovered that not only Fabchannel had put an end to its activities, but it had also wiped its entire archive off the internet. For the exact reasons, read the goodbye letter by Justin Kniest. I'd like to thank Fabchannel for bringing us these countless shows with minute images and clear sound throughout the years. Hopefully we'll meet [...]

Die Musikindustrie gibt sich weiterhin alle Mühe, denen Mühe zu machen, die ihr helfen wollen. Jetzt hat es die beliebte Konzert-Website Fabchannel erwischt. Neun Jahre lang hat Fabchannel grosse und kleine Künstler und Bands unterstützt, indem Firma aus Amsterdam professionell gefilmte Konzertmitschnitte einem weltweiten Publikum im Netz zugänglich gemacht hat. Dabei hatten die Betreiber bis zuletzt mit mangelnder Unterstützung der Labels zu kämpfen, die sich gegen die Gratiswerbung für ihre Künstler gewehrt haben. Die Wirtschaftskrise hat nun die Werbeeinnahmen, von denen Fabchannel gelebt hat, so stark absinken lassen, dass Fabchannel [...]

Magari non ne conoscevate neanche l'esistenza ma credetemi se vi dico che non è comunque una bella notizia. Perché Fabchannel è, ance se sarebbe quasi meglio dire era, un sito davvero fenomenale dove si potevano vedere ogni settimana ottimi concerti dal vivo in streaming direttamente da due dei locali più belli in Olanda: il Paradiso e il Melkweg . Ora però per una serie di problemi che si legano alle problematiche dei diritti d'autore, e di come molte etichette discografiche pensano più o meno bene di poter tutelare, il sito dopo nove anni [...]
It was only yesterday I was reading someone predicting that there would probably be a cull of about 98% of the independent online video sites by the end of the year, as attempts to square a triangle of costs, revenues and user base result in calculator meltdown. Then comes this press release: FABCHANNEL STOPS ITS ACTIVITIES Online concert channel Fabchannel.com ceases its activities as of today, due to bad economic prospects within the music and online advertising market. During the last nine years, Fabchannel have been successfully promoting concert recordings of [...]
Big shock in the digital music world today as online concert channel Fabchannel.com announced it will close, as of today, due to bad economic prospects within the music and online advertising market. Fabchannel's concert archive will go offline on Friday 13 March. Read the full press release Here . Go visit the site as the archive will be available up until Friday 13 March. We're sad to see such a great service leaving the music industry. RIP Fabchannel.

Die beiden Live-Streaming-Portale Fabchannel und Life-Beats haben heute zwei interessante Schmankerl im Angebot. Eines kommt direkt aus dem Zürcher Abart in die gute Stube. "Sie kriegen jeden: Die Crystal Antlers sind gnadenlos lärmig und catchy zugleich". Uns selber zitieren wir am liebsten. Genau das stand vor vier Monaten nämlich auf 78s und das gilt heute natürlich noch immer. In einem Monat veröffentlichen die Kalifornier ihr Album "Tentacles". Einen Vorgeschmack darauf liefert das Live-Konzert aus dem Amsterdamer Paradiso heute Abend, live auf Fabchannel ab 20 Uhr. > Crystal Antlers live aus [...]

Another great freebie from the peeps at Fabchannel sees Cold War Kids perform live. Check out the whole set, in full streaming highquality for free below: SEE: Cold War Kids live November 2008 @ Paradiso, Amsterdam: <a href=" http://www.fabchannel.com/cold _war_kids_concert/2008-11-10"& amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;Liv e Concert Video - Cold War Kids&l t;/a&g t;
Two delights coming up on Fabchannel on Sunday (and then on demand, afterwards): Neko Case and Sky Larkin .

Got an email through last night from the people over at Fabchannel letting me know that tomorrow (Wednesday 11 Feb) they will be streaming a live performance by Buzzcocks for free. I thought this warranted further investigation, so went and had a look at their site. It houses an archive of performances from various bands, ranging from big international names (The B-52s, Calexico) to smaller Dutch acts - all in really good quality, and best of all completely free! The shows are all in Amsterdam and I spent a few idle hours yesterday trawling [...]

I meant to pop this up last night, but somehow didn't quite manage it, so here are some things that are tickling our fancy here at TGTF at the moment. We were sent two very special MP3s yesterday from Red Light Company (who we introduced here , and are off on tour shortly ). Their debut album is out shortly, so expect more coverage as that comes out - they're really rather great. Download and enjoy, as ever. MP3 : Red Light Company [...]

I know we're always gushing about FabChannel , but frankly I still find it a mystery why this site isn't more popular. Dr. Dog was one of my favorite bands of 2008 and this concert further showcases their talent. Being that their earlier stuff is not very well recorded, this gig also sheds more light on their earlier material. Watch it! And when you're done, head over to FabChannel to catch some other excellent concerts like MGMT and dEUS .
