Now Playing: The Knocks – Brightside (’96 Bulls Remix)

22 Dec

First of all, I love the name, ’96 Bulls. Secondly, that team was insanely amazing and third but most important, this remix from the Australian duo is dope and if it were summer in the States like it is down under, I’d be listening to this nonstop as well.

New Music: The Cinema – “Kill It”

20 Sep

New discovery for me, The Cinema and their debut disc My Blood Is Full Of Airplanes which dropped last week.  Still getting into the album but so far so good.  Give a listen to “Kill It” and decide for yourself.

Now Playing: The Joy Formidable and Catch Them Tonight, Vegas!

15 Sep

While it still kills me to not be heading to ACL this weekend, back here in Vegas I’ll still be doing my fair share of celebrating and it all kicks off tonight with The Joy Formidable.   Stoked about this show and now that the temps are cooling, should be an awesome night for an outdoor show at The Cosmopolitan.

Check out this video from Lollapalooza and I’ll see you at the show!

DoYouHearTheMusic.com Turns One Today

2 Aug

I seriously can’t believe it has been one whole year since I started this blog.  The past year has flown by and hopefully you’ve all enjoyed the music, concert recaps/reviews, news and more that I’ve been posting.  A ton of great new music has been discovered over the past year and I’d like to think some of these bands have some new fans because of your support of DoYouHearTheMusic.com and I thank you for clicking, reading and listening to what I have to share.

To celebrate our birthday at DoYouHearTheMusic.com we’ll take it back a little with Kool & The Gang.

 

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 4 Days – Ween

1 Aug

Saturday, Aug. 6 – Bud Light Stage, 6:00 p.m.

There are so many great bands to choose from and while ultimately scheduling is going to shatter my dreams of seeing every band I’ve marked on my line-up, Ween has to be one of the top priorities. They’ve been around a while and I still have not ever seen Ween live. Time to change this.
