A few days ago, a Lollapalooza (a.k.a. Coachella of the East Coast) lineup leaked. We questioned the authenticity of it, but as it turns out, it was the real thing. Headliners consist of Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Black Keys, and Black Sabbath. It all takes place at the Chicago Grant Park on August 3 – 5. Check out the complete lineup below.
Well, live music fans, that time of year has come around again—the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival has announced its 2012 lineup. And for those who can’t recall, this is the first year in which the festival will be repeated for a second weekend. It all goes down on April 13-15 and April 20-22. Check out the complete lineup below and let us know: does this rock, or is the lineup a bit of a letdown?
Hopefully you’ve been eagerly awaiting the release of these albums as much as we have, as it’s a promising week for new releases. The new full-lengths from The Black Keys, Chevelle, and even Dia Frampton have been pretty intriguing, so regardless of the “bad” or “good” review, check out what we’ve collected in new releases this week: Continue Reading
Another year – another season, mind – another music festival. When it gets old, you’ll be the first to know.
It’s hard to believe that the Outside Lands Music and Arts Festival is only three years young, but maybe that’s why it’s looking so good. The official lineup was announced today and things are ready and rearing to go this August 12-14. Stadium heavyweights Muse and Phish leading the pack with two sets, and such movers-and-shakers from Arcade Fire, MGMT, The Black Keys, The Decemberists and Erykah Badu, to our favorites Foster the People and oft-on-our-radar Grouplove and The Vaccines, will take on the various stages at Golden Gate Park in San Francisco, CA.
With music festival season on its way we’ve been getting a lot of news lately about the lineups of the various shows, but what we heard regarding Bonnaroo had generally been little more than rumor and hearsay. Luckily the wait is over and the official lineup for this year has been announced. Read on to see who made the cut…
Bad news for Black Keys fans who live down under: the bluesy and blistering rock duo has canceled the Australia and New Zealand legs of their most recent tour due to exhaustion (and apparently it’s the real-real kind of exhaustion, and not the in-quotes kind of “exhaustion” that rhymes with “smosmaine”).
Cruising through a sea of concert-goers and a fog of pot smoke (don’t act surprised), The Black Keys were on target turning out a sun drenched crowd. Playing to all types, they employed a stable of women signing the music to the hearing impaired, proving that feeling the music is just as important as hearing it. If only all bands could be that considerate. Here’s what happened…
Time for our pick of our favorite music video of the week! There are a lot of music videos that come out each week so it’s a good thing we’re here to judge! This week’s pick was chosen for the following…
And the pick of the week is…
The Black Keys‘ brand new album, Brothers, was released today and if you don’t have it yet, we highly recommend picking it up because it’s pretty amazing. Although it sounds a bit different having veered toward more of a soul and R&B vibe rather than the straight up rock and roll we’ve become accustomed to with the duo, we definitely dig it.
Along with a brand new album comes a new single and what better way to celebrate the single than releasing a music video? Their video for “Tighten Up” isn’t just any video either. Not only do we get to see fictional sons of Dan Auerbach and Patrick Carney, but we get to see a nothing-less-than-completely rad throw down… between the respective “dads.” Check it out below!
