Here it is my latest musical fascination, Kassidy. This Scottish folk rock band has been tabbed across the pond by some media outlets as “Britain’s Kings of Leon” and fall into line with the rabid folk obsession of Mumford & Sons, Fleet Foxes and the likes but they have their own distinct sound and that to me is refreshing. Their debut album Hope St. dropped earlier this year and I don’t think it will take too much longer for this quartet to wind up here in the states.
Been digging these guys from Asheville, NC since I stumbled upon their music last month. Give a listen and if you like, pick up the new album Miles of Skyline.
Hands down my favorite show at Lollapalooza, GROUPLOVE gets set to drop Never Trust A Happy Song next week and thanks to SPIN Magazine, you can stream the album live right now. Click HERE to start streaming.
It’s always a great day when you can see Ben Harper live and to catch a true rock ‘n’ roll show. Here are some photographs from the show over Labor Day Weekend at The Cosmopolitan of Las Vegas courtesy of Erik Kabik (www.erikkabik.com).
Thanks to the fine folks at Paste Magazine for bringing this to my attention, BlakRoc2. Click HERE to read the story and just who The Black Keys have lined up for the record and watch the video below.
And please if you don’t have the original BlakRoc record, go buy it NOW because you’ve been missing out for quite some time.
One day closer to pandemonium in Las Vegas and two nights of Deadmau5 concerts at The Cosmopolitan. Check out this video I shot at Lollapalooza last month to see what you can expect from his new stage setup (apologies it has taken me so long to upload and share this). Fair warning the audio is terrible but the visuals are worth it. Also about two minutes in Sofi comes out.
Enjoy!
