Hope you can join me this evening for the second installment of the Downtown Las Vegas Music Showcase curated by Life Is Beautiful. The festivities will be getting going at 6 p.m. at Downtown Cocktail Room with sounds by Carlos Sanchez and DJ 88 and we have a sweet lineup of Las Vegas talent you must see!
Well the wait is over and after nearly an hour of Weird Al’s telethon style releasing on Bonnroo365, here is the first portion of the Bonnaroo 2013 lineup. Get ready for the Farm, June 13-16. and a word to the wise, head in as early as you can because you don’t want to miss a full Thursday.
That Festival in Delaware, yeah Firefly has done it again with another solid lineup. From top to bottom fans should be jacked up about this one. Lots and lots of great up and coming bands. This is the week after Bonnaroo (which drops its lineup today too) so expect to see many similar artists.
If you want to watch the video, check it out below but just a warning, it is looooong.
Just released today, the lineup for the Hangout Music Festival in Gulf Shoes, Alabama taking place May 17-19. Take a look (and one headliner still to be announced).
Here we go, Coachella released the 2013 lineup tonight! Give a look and see who made it this year. Will be dropping some more thoughts later but take a look at the smaller acts, some real gems set to perform. And can we just say J U R A capital S another S I C Five MCs in the flesh…… Jurassic 5 on the lineup!
Today couldn’t be more of an exciting day at DoYouHearTheMusic.com as I can finally talk about Life Is Beautiful, a two-day music, food and art festival coming to Downtown Las Vegas in Fall of 2013! I have signed on as Head of Music & Live Performances and am working with an incredible team at Aurelian Marketing Group, Another Planet Entertainment, MAKTUB Marketing and the Downtown Project. This is just the beginning so hop on board, it’s going to be one amazing ride!

Here is the official press release.
Life Is Beautiful!
This weekend up in San Francisco marks the sixth installment of the Treasure Island Music Festival. The festival which not only is in a kick ass city, also has a knack for grabbing top talent and acting as a springboard for younger bands before they break it big (I urge you to take a look at past lineups). This year features headliners Girl Talk and The xx. As for the complete line-up:
Saturday: Girl Talk, The Presets, Porter Robinson, Public Enemy, SBTRKT, Tycho, AraabMuzik, Matthew Dear, Toro y Moi, Grimes, The Coup, K.Flay, Dirty Ghosts.
Sunday: The xx, M83, Gossip, Best Coast, Joanna Newsom, Divine Fits, Youth Lagoon, Los Campesinos!, The War On Drugs, Ty Segall, Hospitality, Imperial Teen, The Neighbourhood.
In preparation here is a little playlist for you to enjoy this weekend!
I may as well start my weekend officially on Thursday with the amount of live music in Las Vegas.
Tonight it is straight over to The Cosmopolitan to check out The Hives. I’ve been waiting YEARS to see these guys live and finally I get the chance! Plus it’s the anniversary party for Vegas Rated, the magazine that I contribute music stories to. Fiesta Fiesta!
While I’m super stoked for The Hives show, I’m beyond excited about Friday night where Mariachi El Bronx, takes to Book & Stage at 10:30 p.m. for an amazing kickoff to Mexican Independence Day Weekend in Las Vegas. If you have never heard of Mariachi El Bronx, trust me when I say you don’t want to miss this show. If you have heard of Mariachi El Bronx but never seen them live, this is a show you don’t want to miss. If you know their story and the original band, The Bronx, you definitely want to see this show. I had the pleasure of finally getting to see them this past June at Bonnaroo and it was easily one of my favorite shows of the festival. I’m expecting this to be the highlight of my weekend.
I know, I know I just proclaimed my weekend to be taken over by Mariachi El Bronx but on Saturday my friends Sonny and Chris of Rock n’ Roll Wine host their 7th Wine Amplified event over at Mandalay Bay Beach with music by Young The Giant and Vintage Trouble. Even cooler, my brother will be pouring his Labor Wines at the event! So I’ve got family, two great wines from my brother, my friends events and two bands I love performing – yeah you could say this is going to be a fun evening.
And that is why my weekend is starting tonight!
