Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 10 Days – @VampireWeekend

15 Oct

You can count them on two hands finally, 10 days until Life is Beautiful! I can promise you that if you’ve ever visited downtown Las Vegas, it’s going to look massively different in the next 10 days. I hope you’re as excited as I am. Today we dropped the festival map and schedule, let the planning begin! Also the perfect day to feature one of the bands who’ve put on a couple of the best concerts I’ve seen in 2013, Vampire Weekend.

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 11 Days – @XDannyXBrownX

14 Oct

Here we go, the home stretch. I totally spaced on Day 12 of the countdown so we’ll just fast forward to Day 11 and an artist on the rise, Detroit MC, Danny Brown. I really hope you all take the time to see him perform, I promise it will be worth it. And if you dig a little deeper you’ll see he’s collaborated with a few Life is Beautiful artists, including Portugal. The Man and Purity Ring.

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 13 Days – @AndrewMcMahon

12 Oct

Lucky 13! Fans of Jack’s Mannequin and Something Corporate are not going to want to miss their chance to see the man behind both bands, Andrew McMahon, as he jams out tunes from his previous bands as well as some great new material too. Tickets are still on sale, get them at http://www.lifeisbeautifulfestival.com.

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 14 Days – @dawestheband

11 Oct

Since we are exactly two weeks away from the kick-off party for Life is Beautiful on Friday, October 25 I thought it’d be fitting to play a little Dawes in their honor since they’ll be rocking the stage that evening and prepping everyone for two days of excitement at the inaugural Life is Beautiful Festival!

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 16 Days – Childish Gambino

9 Oct

Taking a break from acting, focusing back on music and just posted that the new album is wrapped, this should make for an epic performance from Childish Gambino. I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him perform a handful of times and he’s never disappointed and a suspect Life is Beautiful will be a wild one!

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 19 Days – @AlabamaShakes

6 Oct

“Don’t worry sweet baby! Don’t you ever worry ’bout a thing. Put them worries on the shelf ‘n’ learn to love yourself Don’t be your own worst enemy.”

If you’re like me, you’re counting down the days until Brittany Howard and her crew hop up on stage at Life is Beautiful and do their thing. If you’ve never seen the Alabama Shakes live in concert, you’re in for a treat.  Every time I’ve seen them in concert, they haven’t disappointed.  From a small sized tent to a massive festival field and an indoor concert hall, they’ve just crushed it and I can’t wait for them to bring their sweet sound to Life is Beautiful.  Gonna be a rock and roll good time!

 

Countdown to @LifeIsBeautiful: 21 Days – twenty one pilots

4 Oct

Figure now is as best a time as any to start a little countdown to Life is Beautiful. I can’t believe how fast the last year has gone and here we are just three weeks away from the festival kicking off with our Grills & Guitars party with music by Dawes and Todd Rundgren. But in honor of 21 days from the festival, here’s a little music from twenty one pilots who will be performing on October 27. Hope to see you in Downtown Las Vegas and join me for what’s going to be an epic weekend.

Peace + Love + Music

Now Playing: The Killers – “Shot At The Night”

16 Sep

How about some new music from The Killers on this Music Monday?! Give a listen to “Shot At The Night,” a collaboration between The Killers and M83′s Anthony Gonzalez. You can read more from Consequence of Sound HERE but this single is part of Direct Hits, a greatest hits album from The Killers as they celebrate their 10th anniversary.  The album is due out November 11. 

Here’s hoping they perform this during their headlining set at Life is Beautiful October 26-27 in Downtown Las Vegas!
