Today I've got another amazing new video, this time showcasing the epic new light setup from Big Gigantic. This video done by Cinesthetics, caught their soldout Boulder Theater and Denver Ogden Theater shows. We already showcased the new lights from their Chicago NYE show, but this really lets you see how epic the setup is. You can see the unique light hive that surrounds both Dom and Jeremy as the play live Sax and drums in middle. I can tell this is going to blow peoples minds all over the country throughout this next year. For [...]

Our Ohio fam is back with the Ohio Takeover tour 2012. Look for them in a city near you. The jump off will be Feb. 18th at Ohio University along side Big Krit and Dom Kennedy.

Our man Flater may have left the Chippewa Valley for the 24/7 combination rave/orgy that is Chicago, but his bread-making, rubberband-headband and basketball shorts-wearing spirit is still here, persisting in the hearts and retinas of all who knew him and suffered the chronic snow-blindness that came from looking in the general direction of his immodestly exposed and highly reflective (bright, bright white) legs. God protect his soul navigating the dingy corridors of that non-stop feast of Saturnalia that is the windy city, that suppurating gas bladder of festering urbania, where the pizza sauce scandalously rests ON TOP of the cheese. [...]

The line-up for this years Sasquatch Festival came out on Thursday night and it is a pretty decent looking list. Even though there is roughly a -12% chance that I will be able to attend this year, I thought it would be kind to preview some songs from artists that I would be excited to go see. This is just a small sampling so head over to The Official Site for more info about bands playing and how to get tickets. Enjoy! Free mp3: Active Child - Hanging [...]

The time has come upon us New York City, ten glorious days of Björk 's Biophilia live show. The sold out New York Hall of Science residency kicks off tonight for six nights before moving to Roseland Ballroom for four nights. I will be attending Monday night and look forward to sharing my experience. Until then, check out Björk's hilarious interview with The Colbert Report from earlier this week along with a performance of Cosmogony . Have a great weekend!
When we heard about the celestial lineup that The Electric Pickle had in store for Miami the last weekend of January we knew right away that we'd be ending every night of the weekend there, or beginning every morning. What we did not realize was that we were in for a early and heavy dose of Winter Music Conference . One thing that was definitely confirmed Monday afternoon by just about everyone we interacted with, was that we looked like we had a lost weekend! [...]

Woiii!!! Were all in for a treat tonight folks!! We are joined in studio tonight by Bassdrop.ca crew member Mugz ! Incase you don't know about this man, he mixes anything from Dubstep to Electro to Drum N Bass. As long as it is bass-heavy, he's on it. A perfect fit for our show, as that is how we roll each and every week!! The whole crew will be in studio tonight hosting the show and just having a good ol' fashioned shin-dig to help celebrate Mugz ' birthday on [...]

Alright my friends, you're gonna want to mark your calendars for Friday, March 2nd. We teamed up with Neon Gold Records to co-present the Boston leg of their inaugural Neon Gold Tour, which is bound to be something special. Like last October's show, we're bringing The Knocks back to town as the headlining act. On top of that, we have three dynamite opening bands to support them. St. Lucia has been a personal favorite of mine for months now, and they're fresh off signing their multi-album deal with Columbia Records and Neon Gold. Savoir Adore took the internet machine by [...]

Nada Surf played their album release party last at NYC's Bowery Ballroom. "The Stars Are Indifferent To Astronomy" was released yesterday (stream it here ) and if you haven't had a chance to listen, the album feels like their most personal affair to date. Last night's show captures the staying power from a band that had been all but written off in the mid 902s with a song that could have landed the quartet on one of those compilation albums of one hit wonders. Nada Surf-Waiting for Something [mp3] [...]
First live show of the year I shall attend is for these find fellas. Halifax shoegazers Kestrels coming to town for the first time Saturday night @ Le Cagibi. They've got a fine debut album in 2009's "Primary Colours" and early last year with a 73 titled "The Solipsist" and last month with a free single titled [...]

Yeah, I may be getting old but I can still rock out the hell out. I certainly don't feel 42 most of the time and I still get excited when a band I love comes to town. I saw that doom masters YOB were gonna be here before hitting the road with Tool, and knew it was maybe my only good chance to see the band that made my number-one album last year. It was on a Monday, so that sucked, but I still couldn't pass it up. After all, this was gonna be up-close and [...]

There just isn't enough time in my days right now. Here's the new formula around here while I am finishing up my training at the restaurant...instead of trying to do a small posting here and there, my new goal will be to put out a playlist every week. Hopefully that works for you over the next few months until life settles down a bit. I was pretty excited about some of the live shows that have been announced in Vancouver over the next while. Here are some songs from must-see shows coming to town. Enjoy. [...]
Last night, a junior in college by the name of Justin Blau (3LAU), sold out Royale in downtown Boston. No big deal, just a random kid from Vegas casually selling out a huge 1,000+ capacity nightclub in Boston. Not only that, but the dude was kind enough to drop a few tickets and media passes our way. We naturally took him up on the offer, and masked ourselves as 19 year-olds for the night. A couple things to note: First off, the neon levels in the building were off the charts. Neon beanies, neon tank tops, neon booty shorts, neon [...]
