Countdown to Life is Beautiful: Broken Bells

25 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!

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-JThis 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!

 

Countdown to Life is Beautiful: The Head and The Heart

The Head and The Heart head back to Vegas only for the second time and I couldn’t be more excited to have this band on my lineup. Their first time was back in December 2010 opening for Dave Matthews & Tim Reynolds and well before they had released their debut album. It should be quite the show and if you’ve been lucky enough to catch them on tour or at a festival this summer you know they are sounding ridiculously amazing right now.

Fun fact, “These Days Are Numbered” off the album Let’s Be Still was used in the 2014 Life is Beautiful lineup announcement video.

You can catch The Head and The Heart on Friday, October 24 at Life is Beautiful.

Pussy Riot is Coming to Life is Beautiful 2014!

16 Sep

Pussy Riot received international attention after being imprisoned for two years in their home country of Russia, following a performance in 2012. After their release in December of last year, both Nadya Tolokonnikova and Masha Alekhina have been on a mission to raise awareness for those who have been deprived of liberty in camps and prisons around the world. Joining the speaker lineup on Friday, October 24th the feminist punk art collective will discuss their experiences and efforts related to their incarceration, their music, feminism, LGBT rights, anti-authoritarianism and their foundation Zona Prova (Zone of Rights).

We’ll kick things off with Vegas’ own PANIC! AT THE DISCO. Not only have these kids been kicking ass on tour this summer, they’re returning home to play their biggest Vegas gig ever.
