On Friday, fans gathered at Chicago's Vic Theatre to see Black Rebel Motorcycle Club hit the city for an epic 22 song set as they promoted their seventh album, Specter At The Feast released on March 18th. Thenewno2 (pronounced “the new number two”) opened with a performance worthy of their Rolling Stone endorsement as one of The 10 Must-See Acts at Lollapalooza in 2012. The band, best known as the brainchild of Dhani Harrison (son of the late George Harrison), opened the night promptly at 8 pm. Their music is a multi-layered amalgamation of [...]
The buzz has slowly been building for UK band Daughter, who’s devoted fans gathered in Chicago’s Lincoln Hall on Friday night to hear the trio play new material from their debut album If You Leave , released on April 30th. New York based WILSEN opened the evening charming the usually chatty crowd with their epic scope, creative instrumentation and dream-like melodies. Using everything from nail files to empty coffee cans to create the perfect sounds, WILSEN showed the utmost skill, giving beautiful layers to music that touches the sublime. This was their last show on tour [...]

And just like the band's single "Flamingo Starr" suggests, their live show is gonna 'take you over for a supernova.' Rainbow Jackson will joined that night by a stellar bill of buzzing talent that includes LEVELS, Burning Jet Black, Act As If and DJ sets by Immigre! Entry for the residency night is FREE (21+) and you can get additional details on the show [...]
It's probably safe to say that Tom Odell's recent trip to the States has been nothing short of successful. A bit of a recap, there was Tom's US television debut on David Letterman last week (so good Letterman basically mentions he'd manage him), there was the filming of a new music video, and a stint of sold out shows including this one at the world famous Troubadour in West Hollywood. The young Odell is definitely doing all of the things that you want to make it right on this side of the pond. Along with his three-piece band, [...]
What a way to kick off Lure's Private Label concert series. The combination of Lure being one of the hottest nightclubs in LA and having some of the hottest DJs perform is pure gold. During a Bondax and Breakbot concert that I reviewed back in late March, I noticed how the DJ stage was on the side of the venue rather than the center, making the feng shui a bit odd. On Friday night May 3rd, Lure had a nice setup with lighting rigs, an open roof and the DJs directing the crowd from a riser in the [...]
We divided and we conquered. Team B3SCI took to the streets of Austin, TX this past March for the annual SXSW Music Conference. Among the seemingly infinite shows we caught by bands from all over the planet, was non-stop coverage including exclusive interviews, take-away performance sessions, and even B3SCI Presents first ever SX-party! So check out some of what you missed, remember, and what you strait up forgot about, from SXSW 2013 with this firsthand look back: ___________________ Sunday, March 10th ___________________ Seryn @ Holy Mountain [...]
Humble. Exuberant. Virtuoso. Eclectic. Gary Clark Jr. is real southern blues and rock legend in the making. For the second time in just over two months, Jr. has sold out the legendary Roxy Theatre on Sunset Strip in Hollywood. His performance on Tuesday night, April 16th was of the most pure. GCJ kicked the night off with “When My Train Rolls In” from his most recent album, Blak and Blu . This set the tone for what would come to be a very gratifying musical evening. Nearly two hours deep, Clark [...]
Join us in LA this Monday night as B3SCI teams up with the Bootleg Bar for this month's artist in residence, Gavin Turek. If you live in LA and haven't caught Gavin perform yet, we gotta ask - why not? She can dance; like dance so much that, by the end of the show, you're exhausted from just watching her perform. Only other artist we saw accomplish this before was Lady Gaga in DC, 2011 (just saying). Plus the tunes are really really good, and also it's Gavin's birthday! So this Monday Night at the Bootleg: Gavin [...]
Post by our very own Gilles LeBlanc (@ ROCKthusiast ) I’ve never been to California, let alone the Coachella Festival, but it’s been destination viewing for me since 2008. They produce the best webcast in my opinion. I know pretty much every major music festival can be viewed from the comfort of one’s home these days, but for whatever reason, Coachella consistently keeps me glued in front of my computer screen all weekend. Maybe it has to do with the weather we usually have here in Toronto or the always-stellar lineups being beamed from the desert year [...]
Join us in Santa Monica this Tuesday night as B3SCI Presents team up with the Central S.A.P.C. for a not-to-be-missed night of local music with this month's artist in residence, L.A. based synth-pop-rockers DWNTWN. Fresh off their noise making trek through SXSW and new single "Stood Me Up," the Jamie Leffler fronted collective has topped music radars as of late. To add to the excitement, French label Kitsuné has just announced that their new Kitsuné America 2 compilation, due April 29th, will feature the track "Move Me," a collaboration between DWNTWN, Jhameel, and Giraffage. And speaking of DWNTWN [...]
Almost every college has a fund to bring music talent to their school and to entertain the student body at large. USC's student run radio station put on it's annual KXSC Fest this past weekend, boasting some serious names from the indiesphere. Last year's festival included Starfucker and Nosaj Thing (pretty awesome), and this year, Chelsea Wolfe and Dan Deacon were mashed together, making this one of the oddest/greatest bill pairings I have ever experienced. If there was a consistent theme of any sort that Saturday night, it was that both Chelcea Wolfe and Dan Deacon are not [...]
The nightclub scene can be a tricky beast. Clubs open and close, what's trendy now won't be in a year and the turn over rate is pretty high for a "sustainable business". However, Lure (where The Cabana Club once stood) in Hollywood seems to have a something good brewing. Being opened in May 2012, Lure is not only one of the hottest nightclubs in LA right now, but seem to be on a consistent track with booking the best of new and old talents of EDM. This was ever so apparent, with the bottle service crowd in full swing, [...]
Debating whether I’d attend the Paid Dues music festival on March 30th, the line-up proved too much of a draw to stay away. The idea of getting to hear new artists and those I knew and loved outweighed the con of venue choice. Changing venues a few weeks before the show filled me with naïve hope that this con would disappear altogether. With an overwhelming schedule of artists playing at overlapping times on three stages, I needed to map the day out as efficiently as possible which was aided by the Paid Dues app which allowed users to customize a [...]

It’s been a long haul for alt-rock veterans Garbage in the nearly 12 months since the release of their comeback album Not Your Kind of People . After abruptly announcing an infinite hiatus during the promotion for Bleed Like Me way back in 2005, the band have done their best to make up for lost time. They’ve toured the world over, including two stops in Toronto, which is where Shirley Manson, Butch Vig and company found themselves the night before Good Friday. [...]
Django Django successfully ended their American tour at the Fonda on Saturday night, March 23. It's been a quick rise for this refreshingly unique band, who was a Mercury Prize finalist and who made many year-end lists for 2012. A year ago, they were earnestly playing smaller SXSW venues as relative unknowns the the US. They sold out The Echo last fall, with several hundred onlookers and fans packed in and vibing to a show that was relentlessly electric. Saturday night, the guys expressed several times, their delight in playing on the Fonda stage. The venue holds about 1200, and [...]
"Hype for an artist can be generated from different media outlets and will always have different outcomes for that said artist. Certain times, when the spotlight is seemingly on only one artist, that act will fall short and usually go by the way side. However, other times, that one highlighted act rises from the uncertainty and leaves those doubters in the dust. On Tuesday night at The Echoplex in Silverlake, the sold out crowd may have witnessed one of those special artists in Flume. Warming the audience up for Flume was Jean-Baptiste de Laubier aka Para One. The [...]
French electronic music titans Justice have announced a new live album, Access All Arenas , set for release via Ed Banger / Because Music / Vice / Elektra on May 7th.

Album art and tracklisting below. In 2012 the Audio, Video, Disco tour sold-out in a matter of days, comprising 105 shows that spanned from [...]
