Today, we continue our Lollapalooza 2011 countdown with part three. #6: Black Lips The Atlanta punk band makes their second return to the festival this year, but a bit different from last time around. Back in 2008, the somewhat lesser-known Black Lips bounced onto a major label the year prior, performing most of 2007's Good Bad Not Evil in a very early afternoon show. Four years later (although with a few different members), the group is a little more refined [...]

Listen to this new track from mashup artist Wait What . It's got Willow Smith's breakout hit "Whip My Hair" pitted against dubstep musician Skrillex's "Scary Monsters and Nice Sprites." Pretty sick mix if you ask me.

Acaba de ser confirmado no facebook a vinda dos Beirut ao SBSR . Zack Condon regressa assim a Portugal no dia 14 de Julho, juntando-se então a The Strokes e Portishead.

In dieser Reihe werden Bands eingeladen ihre Songs live zu performen. Das besondere daran ist aber, dass als Location meist eine Kneipe, Straße, Platz, Brücke, etc... gewählt [...]

Here are two more reasons Pitchfork fest is more fun than Lollapalooza : Beirut and M83 . One sounds like music from the old country, while the other could fill the soundtrack to a John Hughes movie. Both gigs are highly recommended. Nantes - Beirut Couleurs - M83

Released under Pompeii records, this new double ep March Of the Zapotec / Realpeople Holland solidifies 22 year old Zach Condon's reputation as one of the most talented songwriters of this decade. Influenced by a love of Balkan Folk music and trips abroad where he "found a band of kids who'd walk around with thrift-store instruments. They weren't Gypsies- they were just so in love with that music".  Beirut's debut Lp Gulag [...]

Französischer Balkan und Schweizer Begeisterung.

Puros y suaves son los sonidos de Beirut, los que ya tienen disco nuevo: The Flying Club Cup. Con nostalgias francesas captadas muy probablemente de Edith Piaf, Tino Rossi, Charles Aznavour y todos los clásicos de ese país. Tienen novedad también, saben divertirse y puede recordar a Bregovic con los vientos. Una canción que tiene varios cambios intrépidos es “Nantes”, para recordar la ciudad que

If you haven't spent hours poring over all the Take Away Shows on La Blogotheque then you've been missing out. These short videos are raw and impromptu and represent the purest and most beautiful way of appreciating music as art and emotion.
