Now Playing: First Aid Kit cover Jack White’s – “Love Interruption”

1 Aug

I was a fan of the Swedish Sisters who make up First Aid Kit since the moment I heard their second album, The Lion’s Roar, became even a bigger fan when I saw them live for the first time and seeing them again this year at Bonnaroo, they were one of my favorite acts at the festival. Needless to say I’m hooked on these girls and after hearing this cover of Jack White’s “Love Interruption” which they performed on Australia’s triple j radio, I am even more in awe of thems. Listen below. Just WOW.

WOW! @AsgeirMusic covers @MilkyChance “Stolen Dance”

25 Jul

1. To me, Asgeir is a star in the making. This Icelandic singer-songwriter is absolutely brilliant. He has an incredible voice, beautiful songs and is flawless live.

2. Milky Chance’s song “Stolen Dance” is easily one of my favorite songs of 2014. Quite frankly I’ve fallen in love with the track and listen to it on repeat.

3. Asgeir just covered “Stolen Dance” for triple j and the segment “Like A Version.” Give a listen below and hear for yourself.

4. Come see Asgeir at Life is Beautiful, October 24-26 in Downtown Las Vegas.

Happy Friday!

Revisited: Dave Matthews Band – 7.15.14 – Jacksonville, FL (Video)

16 Jul

I sure hope if you weren’t there you were watching online. I have seen the Dave Matthews Band dozens of times live but this was the first time getting a chance to see the special summer two set tour, an evening of acoustic and electric. I for one loved it. Thanks to modern technology and Yahoo, fans had the chance to stream the entire concert live as part of the company’s initiative with Live Nation to broadcast 365 concerts in 365 days on Yahoo Screen. This show was numero uno! And as luck would have it, I somehow managed to get from Vegas to Jacksonville overnight to attend!

The acoustic set was ridiculous at least for my DMB taste. Unless you’ve been fortunate to catch a Dave & Tim show, chances are you’ve never heard these songs live or acoustic. With just Dave & Tim on stage, the show opened with Bartender (I swear more than half the shows I’ve been to have opened with this song) before the whole band joined for Two Step, Snow Outside, Satellite, Stolen Away On 55th and 3rd, #27, Sweet, Tripping Billies and What Would You Say. The guys sounded great, looked like they were having an absolute blast and the set was a great balance to get the crowd all warmed up and feeling good before breaking into the electric set.

After heading back into the arena following a set break, it felt like you were JUST heading into the show. I mean seriously, it was like two separate DMB concerts. Oddly enough I don’t think the venue knew what to prepare for as the great beer shortage of 2014 may have occurred at the arena last night! Haha. On to set two! Dave returned solo to open with Minarets before having the whole band return to break into One Sweet World. From the second set the highlights for me were the Seven > Belly Belly Nice > Crush (what a jam), Warehouse, the always amazing cover of Peter Gabriel’s Sledgehammer and the tour debut of Belly Full. All in another great DMB show with some old, some new, some fast, some slow.

Here’s a video of “Sledgehammer” I shot.  Hope you like it.
