What a glorious new music Tuesday it is with O.A.R. dropping their new album King.  You can grab it on iTunes HERE.

 

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 3 Days – Muse

2 Aug

Friday, Aug. 5 – Music Unlimited Stage, 8:15 p.m.

So Muse plays at the same time as Coldplay which should split the festival goers 50/50 if I was to guess but for me the decision is easy, Muse all the way. While it would be great to see Coldplay, I just can’t pass up the opportunity to see Muse let alone perform at a massive festival. I have also heard their live shows are intense. Guess we’ll find out in a few short days!

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.

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 5 Days – Boy & Bear

31 Jul

Sunday, Aug. 7 – BMI Stage, 5:00 p.m.

Boy & Bear, I can’t get enough of this band.  Beyond stoked to see the kids from Down Under bring it in front of a huge crowd in Chicago.  I wrote about them a couple weeks ago and featured their single “Feeding Line” off their upcoming debut album Moon Fire which get this, drops August 5 (August 9 in the states) when Lollapalooza begins.  How’s that for a way to celebrate!

 

 

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 6 Days – Two Door Cinema Club

30 Jul

Friday, Aug. 5, Sony Stage, 5:00 p.m.

Another band I’ve been dying to see live, Two Door Cinema Club.  I love their indie-pop/electro/rock combination.  From their thieving guitar sound and Alex Trimble’s vocals, you just have to say to yourself, ‘wow.’

Not that this should be what you base it on but TDCC are part of the incredible growing line-up on Glassnote Records (Phoenix, Mumford & Sons, GIVERS, Temper Trap, etc.), not bad company for the Irish Trio to be associated with.

 

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 7 Days – Walk The Moon

29 Jul

Saturday, Aug. 6, Music Unlimited Stage, 12:45 p.m.

This is one show you’ll want to get to the festival early for.  Hands down one of the top performances at Bonnaroo earlier this summer, Walk The Moon, put on an energetic, electric set from start to finish. Riding high on the release of i want! i want! and the lead single “Anna Sun,” the quartet from Ohio are primed and ready to break it big.

And get the face paint ready (you’ll figure it out!).

Revisited: G. Love & Special Sauce (Vegas SEVEN – July 28 Issue)

29 Jul

Check it out, I had the opportunity to review G. Love & Special Sauce last week at the Silverton.  My review appears in the July28 issue of Vegas SEVEN. Hope you enjoy it!

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 8 Days – The Joy Formidable

28 Jul

Sunday, Aug. 7, Bud Light Stage, 1:00 p.m.

Another rising act in the States that I’m excited to see, The Joy Formidable. The Welsh trio tore up SXSW earlier this year and if all the hype I’ve heard surrounding their live shows is true, they should do the same at Lollapalooza.

 

Countdown to Lollapalooza: 9 Days – Portugal. The Man

27 Jul

Now that we are single digit days away from the 20th Anniversary of Lollapalooza I’m going to highlight some artists I’m excited to see and try to keep it different from artists who were on the Bonnaroo countdown but that may be a little too hard with a few of them.

Here’s “Got It All (This Can’t Be Living Now)” by Portugal. The Man off the new record In the Mountain in the Cloud.
