Super pumped for our next installment of the Life Is Beautiful Downtown Las Vegas Music Showcase as we bring the party to Insert Coin(s). For May it’s all about the DJs and we’ve got a great lineup including Totescity, DJ Zo, Crykit, Byra Tanks, Personal Touch and Phoreyz. Plus we’ve got free video games from 7-10, a wicked cool video art installation by Space Cadets AV and $5 Red Bull drink specials.
If you’ve never been to Insert Coin(s), you must stop by. The gaming meets nightlife palace is one of my favorite places in Las Vegas and I’ll take you on in Frogger!
Not familiar with the Downtown Las Vegas Music Showcase? It’s a monthly event we hold at a Downtown Las Vegas venue that features homegrown talent right here in Nevada. All talent being showcased are vying for opportunities to perform at the inaugural Life Is Beautiful Festival taking place in Downtown Las Vegas October 26-27. Even more so, it’s an opportunity for locals to discover the talented musicians we have in town as well as the chance for the musicians to introduce their sound to the community all while spending time in some of the amazing venues we have Downtown.
I hope you can make it out tomorrow night, it’s going to be a fun one!
Come one, come all! Tonight we are filming our announcement video for Life Is Beautiful and need all your beautiful and smiling faces to be a part of the action! Details below but come make some history with us and don’t forget, the Festival takes place October 26-27 in Downtown Las Vegas!.
After a series of teasers, interviews, the biggest hype in a long time, now you can hear the full version of Daft Punk’s “Get Lucky” ft. Pharrell Williams. Also I highly encourage you to pay attention to the static image in the video below and wait for the 2:21 mark. A little disco dancing here we go……
Yes I know, we all can’t wait for Random Access Memories to drop next month. The anticipation is still here, it keeps building and if you really do love Daft Punk, you must watch this interview with Pharrell. If this doesn’t get you even more excited you may as well just go listen to something else.
Ever since seeing the final Pyramid Show, I’ve been waiting for the opportunity to bring me back to that moment. 2013 has been an amazing year so far for me and why not let it continue with some of my favorite musicians. Viva Daft Punk!
Time to get back into the swing of things and pump some new music back onto DoYouHearTheMusic.com so with that said, give a listen to Summer Twins and their track “I Will Love You.” If you’re into daydreaming and wishing you had your feet in the sand staring out to the bright blue ocean, these sisters are for you. Some Cali dreampop at its finest. Think of Little Joy x Tennis x Best Coast.
If you read the blog last week you’ve already seen who’s playing at Lollapalooza this August but if not, below is the lineup poster. Should be another solid three days/nights in the Windy City and I have to say, nice to see The Dunwells on here again as their set was washed out in 2012.

This is what happens when artists I love get together and throw it down. Check out this video of Winston Marshall of Mumford & Sons joining Deap Vally (who’s opening for Mumford & Sons on the current European leg of the tour) to perform “Walk of Shame” in Florence.
I love this. Click here to read the story on NPR but check out the video below of Vanderbilt student, Michael Pollack performing “New York State Of Mind” with his idol, Billy Joel. A chance Q&A opportunity made this happen and instantly became the greatest moment of Michael’s life.
Check it out, brand new official video from Allen Stone for “Celebrate Tonight.” If you’ve never seen Allen Stone live, you need to get on it like yesterday. If you haven’t watched Live From Daryl’s House , you need to do that (start with the episode with Allen Stone). Also be sure to check him out on tour this summer with O.A.R.!
