PARKLIFE will not be represented and presented by Fuzzy this year. In fact, there will NOT be a Parklife at all in 2013. Instead, the team over at Fuzzy have been working overtime at a brand new festival, and it's one that they feel is "desperately needed." Announced over on Triple J a very short time ago, Fuzzy have announced the beginning of Listen Out . It's a brand new touring festival, [...]

Last time we saw Atlas Genius at the Wiltern, they were opening for Imagine Dragons. Now Atlas Genius will take on the headliner role at the Wiltern on Wednesday, November 6. If you want to see Atlas Genius earlier, they...

Escapade Music Festival has been a mainstay of Canada Day weekend in Ottawa since 2010. It’s first year featured Deadmau5 and was set in the downtown core where nearly a million people gather every year to celebrate. It’s gotten bigger and bigger every year  and last year expanded to a two day festival at the Ottawa Baseball Stadium that featured heavyweights such as Avicii, Dada Life, Afrojack, Alesso, and Eric Prydz among many others. Escapade 2013 is set to be it’s bigger year yet. Expanding for the first time to three [...]

Right: so who wants to go camping... Hip-hop pioneers De La Soul , U.K. chart-toppers Bastille and El Paso art-punks Bosnian Rainbows are just three of the big names ready to dig up Deer Farm come the August bank holiday weekend when Mitchelstown music meet-up Indiependence erects her tents for three nights of musical mayhem. What could make the three day retreat all the sweeter I wonder? Well a pair [...]

Last month's three-day Jambalaya Fest in Texas featured an amazing lineup of Tyler, the Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, RL Grime, Zeds Dead, Big Boi, and G-Eazy. The promoters for the event, Score More , recently released a  small video recap of the shows. The festival sounded amazing for Tyler, the Creator and Earl Sweatshirt alone, but with big names like Big Boi and RL Grime attached, the shows must have been extremely memorable for everybody that attended. Hopefully the "traveling festival" will come to Chicago soon.

Spring Awakening was this past weekend. and what an experience it was.

Some of my photos from Spring Awakening Day 1 are below, while the full catalog of photos can be found here . Photos are © Geoff Henao.

Saturday afternoon at the Great Escape 2013 I was at a loss of who to see next and I basically just scoured the programme for a band I'd never heard of and took a chance with it. The band I ended up seeing at the Canada House showcase (yes, I saw bands other than British ones!) at the Blind Tiger was Winnipeg, Canada's Boats , who turned out to be the quirkiest band at the Great Escape this year I would have never had the [...]

We are back in Berlin, still exhausted from the Sonar Weekend in Barcelona with full with nice memories. Barcelona is a very beautiful city, but this time there was no time for sightseeing, as there were too many good parties... READ MORE

If you aren't familiar with  Submotion Orchestra before reading this post, then I am very upset with you, go and sit on the naughty step. Now come back, because these guys need to become firmly wedged in your cerebral cortex... Hailing from the English city of Leeds, the multi-instrumental collective formed in 2008, unleashing their unique blend of soul, electronica, dubstep  and  jazz on unsuspecting crowds - since then the seven-strong posse have developed a large and varied fan base - and rightly so. They really know music. The guys (and gal!) in the band [...]

Yesterday was one for the books! I headed to Williamsburg around 2pm or so to check out some of the Northside action. After grabbing a slice at Vinnie's Pizza on Bedford, where I overheard French tourists complaining that there wasn't any mayo to put on their pizza (WTF?), I went over to Muchmore's for The Teen Age. Bill from Gunfight is in the band and they signed to my buddies label, Papercup

We have still yet to hear back from Fred Durst as to the exact directions we need to take it to the Matthews Bridge.

When more than one member of your band has a really bad tattoo of your own band name on, it's never going to end well. You can take your nostaligia and shove it where the sun don't shine - Coal Chamber was a step too far at Download Festival 2013. -- Coal Chamber @ Download Festival - 16 June 2013 c/o Gary Wolstenholme [...]
