Countdown to Life is Beautiful 2014: M4SONIC

2 Oct

22 days until the second Life is Beautiful festival in Downtown Las Vegas, October 24-26. In anticipation, at DoYouHearTheMusic.com I’ll be running down an artist or two on the lineup! If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so at www.lifeisbeautiful.com and if you have, awesome and I can’t wait to see you!

It’s time to introduce you to a DJ you must see at Life is Beautiful, M4SONIC.  Hailing from Australia, M4SONIC, is a classically trained pianist, producer turned DJ who has mastered Launchpad/Ableton.  With a crazy knack for beautiful mash-ups, his YouTube videos rack up ridiculous numbers (in the millions) and now he’s taking his show on the road.  Beyond being excited for M4SONIC to drop a massive set in Vegas and thanks to the great team at Sol Republic, we thought we’d help give you a sample of what you can expect; check out this mash-up video M4SONIC made for Life is Beautiful in anticipation of his performance.

If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so at www.lifeisbeautiful.com and if you have, awesome and I can’t wait to see you!

It’s exciting to know that a handful of artists are making their first play in Las Vegas at Life is Beautiful and here’s another one, Tycho.  I’ve spoken to several people who are all amped up about finally get a chance to see Tycho live let alone in their hometown.  Currently touring as a four-piece, the brainchild of Scott Hansen has never sounded so good!  I’ve had the lucky opportunity to see Tycho a couple times this year and cannot wait for them descend upon the neon desert for what is sure to be an amazing performance.  Get ready for an instrumental electronic experience and make sure you carve out time to see them perform on Saturday, October 25.

And if you want an excellent read, check out THIS feature from PandoDaily.com titled, “How to make it in the new music industry: The long slow ascent of electronic star Tycho.”

Countdown to Life is Beautiful 2014: St. Paul & The Broken Bones

27 Sep

The home stretch towards the second Life is Beautiful festival in Downtown Las Vegas, October 24-26. In anticipation, at DoYouHearTheMusic.com I’ll be running down an artist or two on the lineup! If you haven’t gotten your tickets, do so at www.lifeisbeautiful.com and if you have, awesome and I can’t wait to see you!

Let me lay it down like this.  If you are coming to Life is Beautiful, this is one of your can’t miss performances of the festival, St. Paul & The Broken Bones.  These guys have absolutely blown up in less than two years and 2015 is primed to be massive for this Birmingham, Alabama outfit.  Not only is their album, Half The City, something you should have on repeat but St. Paul & The Broken Bones have delivered one of the best shows I’ve seen in 2014.   They ooze soul and when you hear Paul Janeway’s voice, you may just have a religious experience.

Oh baby!

So pumped to have Broken Bells play their first Vegas show at Life is Beautiful.  Sure James Mercer (The Shins) and Brian Burton aka Danger Mouse (Gnarles Barkley) have performed in Vegas before but to finally have them performing together in Vegas will be awesome.  Plus having seen them a couple times this year, I know you are in for a treat when they hit the stage. Catch them on Sunday, October 26!

Welcome back, Alt-J!  This Is All Yours, the sophomore release from the UK trio drops on September 23 and just in time for Life is Beautiful!  Over the past couple of months the band has been quick to push out singles, “Hunger of the Pine,” “Left Hand Free” and “Every Other Freckle” and all it has done is make me even more excited for this release.  Plus the guys are finally going to play a real show in Vegas (they have played once, about 4 years ago opening for Grouplove, way before they were a household name).  Hope you can make it out to see these guys put on a heck of a show on Saturday, October 25.  Set time and stage information coming soon!
