Last night legendary rockers Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers kicked off a five-show run at the intimate Beacon Theatre in New York City, with plenty of rarities, covers and even a few greatest hits thrown in.  The show marked the band's first at the historic venue. Looking for surprises? Towards the end of the main set, Petty and his longtime band lit into a cover of Little Feat's Willin'. The Heartbreakers also played Tweeter and the Monkey Man from Petty's days with The Traveling Wilburys. Before [...]

Photos by G. Laura Mvula Here's a name you need to know:  Laura Mvula .  The British singer played her first headlining show in New York on May 20, 2013 at Bowery Ballroom and obviously, it was sold out.  She had to move the show from the originally scheduled Mercury Lounge date to accommodate overwhelming demand for tickets.  Makes perfect sense to me.  After a great set by Irish singer Foy Vance, whose voice has an a quality not unlike the voice of Ray LaMontagne, [...]

Photos by G. Tom Jones The legendary Tom Jones dropped by legendary New York venue Bowery Ballroom on May 18, 2013 to showcase his latest album "Spirit In The Room."  Here are 10 observations from the show. 1. I am over 30 years of age and I was the youngest person in the room.   By far.  Possibly by 30 years. 2. Tom Jones is an amazing performer who deserves the praise he gets as he had the 500 person venue eating out [...]

Remember the year 2007?  It was the year that gave us Lily Allen, a bratty pop singer that was going to change the world. From the same city we also got to meet Kate Nash, a timid 20 year old singer / songwriter that played piano and wrote catchy songs primed for radio and play [...] The post Show Review: Kate Nash with Peach Kelli Pop at The Chapel, 5/11/13 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Una de las noticias más interesantes para los seguidores del metal alternativo fue el regreso de Brian "Head" Welch a Korn , anunciado en enero. En un principio, la idea era que el guitarrista tocase en algunos conciertos con la banda, pero poco después supimos que Head había vuelto para quedarse. De hecho, está participando en el nuevo disco de Korn, cuyo lanzamiento está previsto para finales de verano (septiembre/octubre). Sin embargo, antes de escuchar el nuevo material de los californianos, toca verles en directo de nuevo, ya que tienen por delante una [...]

It's been a rough three years for Paramore. In that time, they've gone through almost as many drummers as Spinal Tap, and had to deal with one of the most public and bitter band break ups in recent memory. However, they have returned with a self titled album that is a collection of tracks that [...] The post Show Review: Paramore with Kitten at The Warfield, 5/4/13 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Although Berlin’s ever hyped districted Kreuzberg is used to plenty of hip people running through the streets this view must have been quite bizarre anyway. Hundreds of people standing in the line for the Lido on this warm spring evening, waiting to get into the sacred halls of the Lido for the May installment of The post Introducing w/ CHVRCHES and more – Lido, Berlin – May 15 appeared first on Nothing But Hope And Passion - NBHAP - Music Magazine & more .

It's been two and a half years since Sara Bareilles released her last fantastic record, Kaleidoscope Heart. Now she's got a great new single, "Brave," and is challenging herself to be just that by touring solo. The "Brave Enough Tour" challenges Sara to play not only alone on stage, but without the support of an [...] The post Show Review: Sara Bareilles at Slim's, 05/13/2013 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Las Vegas rockers The Killers have been touring around ten years now and their live show has grown to perfection. It is more than just a performance for their fans; it's a love letter. Their current tour opens with the house lights still on as the band launches into one of its biggest hits and first ever songs: "Mr. Brightside." No, the lights aren't an accident. They're on because this song is just as much about the audience as the band. Instead of just watching them on stage, you're a part of this number, which is why the [...]

After Groovin The Moo in Townsville wrapped up, it was time to head down to Flinders Social for an intimate club experience with ALISON WONDERLAND and DZ DEATHRAYS . This was an amazing evening and the audience consisted of a lot of other big names who played at the festival. Probably the nicest guy in the Australian music industry, Vincent from MIDNIGHT JUGGERNAUTS was seen up the front of the dance floor busting a move, FLUME was happily chatting to excited punters, while [...]

"Is it Cork, or Cark..?" Having previously visited the building as part of Bonnie "Prince" Billy 's touring band, Angel Olsen announced herself to Ireland's most southern city with a stirring performance in the Half Moon Theatre on Friday past.

Photos by G. Johnny Marr Johnny Fuckin' Marr!  The guitar god from The Smiths and Electronic has a solo album out called "The Messenger" and he performed a sold out show at Music Hall of Williamsburg in Brooklyn on March 3, 2013 to promote it.  Johnny Marr didn't sing when he was with The Smiths, so many people may not know that he is both great on guitar and vocals.  The show was epic on so many levels.  Of course, the final song featured former Smiths [...]

Such is the curse of the esoteric, Cargo is pretty sparsely populated upon entry into the perfectly irrational world of Nashville lo-fi godfather R Stevie Moore . The deactivated confetti cannon shan't go spurting its load tonight although explosive onstage antics are seemingly sure to ensue, guitarist J.R. Thomason swigging liberally from Moore's bottle of red as he fiddles about with bits and pieces of obstreperous machinery. Naturally, this necessarily wacko scene is set to the soundtrack of James Chance's unapologetically demented Contort Yourself. And it's as its squiggly improv abates that Moore emerges in fairly unflattering [...]

Photos and Video by G. Tom Odell Several months ago, I saw British singer Tom Odell's first US show .  I was blown away watching the 21 year old singer who at times channels Thom Yorke, Chris Martin and Tom Waits.  Needless to say, I was very excited to see Tom Odell on his second trip to New York where he performed at Bowery Ballroom on May 2, 2013.  The show opened with folk/rock singer Jeremy Messersmith who got the crowd in good mood with [...]

Incendiary guitar goddess Marnie Stern returned to San Francisco last night in support of her fourth and most accessible LP, the wondrously titled The Chronicles of Marnia. The show, which transpired at the Rickshaw Stop, drew a full house of giddily enthusiastic fans, or at least what passes for "giddily enthusiastic" on a Sunday night [...] The post Show Review: Marnie Stern with SISU and E V Kain at the Rickshaw Stop, 4/28/2013 appeared first on Spinning Platters .

Fauxchella is a brutal time for music fans. The night Metric played at The Fox, we also had to contend with like minded bands How To Destroy Angels and Savages playing across the bridge. It was a tough night of you enjoy powerful women fronting danceable rock bands. And, as much as I truly love [...] The post Fauxchella Review: Metric with Mona at The Fox Theater - Oakland, 4/18/13 appeared first on Spinning Platters .
