Video: Pink Floyd Reunite at Roger Waters Show in London

12 May

I remember reading a recent article in Rolling Stone with Roger Waters and talking about the possibility of getting the band back together and well, it happened tonight in London (only the second time in 30 years!)!  Via Rolling Stone read THIS and watch below where David Gilmour  joined Roger Waters on stage to perform “Comfortably Numb.” Nick Mason and Gilmour joined Waters for the finale.

Countdown to @Bonnaroo: 28 Days – Artist of the Day: The Band of Heathens

12 May

Everything is bigger in Texas and the same should be said for The Band of Heathens as the Austin based group is continuing a rise to stardom.  They are not a new band by any means but I only wish more people would know these guys, a little slice of Americana if you please.

They’ll be playing one of the Café stages on Friday, June 10 and time is TBD right now.  See you at the show!

Countdown to Bonnaroo: 29 Days – Artist of the Day: GIVERS

11 May

Stoked that GIVERS has earned a slot at Bonnaroo this summer.  The rising band from Lafayette, Louisiana already rocked SXSW earlier this year and are set to drop their debut LP In Light just a few days before performing at Bonnaroo (June 10 is their date FYI).    Since hearing “Up Up Up” this has been one of my favorite songs for the sheer good vibes and energy you get from listening to it.

Playlist: May Music

5 May

The inspiration for this month’s playlist has to do 100% with the idea of hopping in the car, cranking up the volume and listening to these tracks with the windows down and wind blowing in your face.  There is some new music scattered in throughout the playlist and chances are good I’ve mentioned all the artists on the blog in some regard.

Hope you like May Music!

Cheers!

Leave it to Paste Magazine to come up with something like this and quite frankly, it’s awesome.  I’m sure everyone can figure out before reading what movie has the most included in this list and honestly you can’t argue that, especially number one (number two is pretty damn good too).  Follow THIS link to read the full piece.

New Music: The Belle Brigade

3 May

I have to thank Brett Dennen, for the introduction to this band, The Belle Brigade. From the first time I heard “Sweet Louise,” I was hooked.  Comprised of brother/sister duo Ethan and Barbara Gruska, their sibling relation allows for a seamless transition in vocals and harmonious sound on each track.  An easy, breezy tone throughout the self titled debut album also makes for a perfect soundtrack to listen to under the summer sun.  I believe Paste Magazine sums it up best in their review which you can read HERE.  Be on the lookout for the rise of The Belle Brigade.
