Lollapalooza announces strange, diverse lineup

Now when I say that Lollapalooza announced a diverse lineup, I don’t mean they have old jazz musicians with blues guitarists, pop stars and country singers. No, that would be truly diverse and also maybe less confusing than the lineup Lollapalooza actually announced. Headlining this year’s three-day festival in Chicago’s Grant Park are pop music… Continue reading Lollapalooza announces strange, diverse lineup

Neon Indian joins the club, announces summer tour dates

Ok musicians, I get it. You all want to play some great shows this summer. I understand! It’s a great time to tour! But do you have to all announce the tour dates at once? This is absurd. On the heels of this morning’s news that Crystal Castles and LCD Soundsystem will be touring this… Continue reading Neon Indian joins the club, announces summer tour dates

Crystal Castles, LCD Soundsystem announce tour dates (separately, of course)

Well isn’t this just exciting? Two great acts, Crystal Castles and LCD Soundsystem have announced a slew of tour dates in what is probably the best tour-date-announcement morning in recent memory. No, they’re not touring together (unfortunately??), but they are touring simultaneously which can lead to a pretty awesome live music summer. Crystal Castles are… Continue reading Crystal Castles, LCD Soundsystem announce tour dates (separately, of course)

Sea Wolf and The Album Leaf announce new tour dates

Two of my favorite bands of the moment, Sea Wolf (see our interview!) and The Album Leaf, are joining forces again for an extensive spring tour after a successful winter tour. The bands (well, artists – Alex Brown Church and Jimmy LaValle of Sea Wolf and The Album respectively) are masters of lush instrumentation, and the… Continue reading Sea Wolf and The Album Leaf announce new tour dates

Balmorhea announces new U.S. tour dates

KR favorites Balmorhea announced a few U.S. tour dates earlier today to follow their HUGE European tour, which kicked off…today. They’ve been receiving major praise for their intimately dazzling live appeal, so this should only come as excellent news…for those of you in the Southwest. Get ready for some string action, y’all; they know how to… Continue reading Balmorhea announces new U.S. tour dates

Jim Kroft prepares release of new album, offers “Let Go” as free mp3

Got some news and a great new mp3 coming your way; couldn’t be a better day! The weather is ridiculous(ly nice), so it’s fitting we have some information regarding Jim Kroft’s predominantly sunny (sounding) forthcoming effort, Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. The album (note the slight change from a previous post) will drop May 3,… Continue reading Jim Kroft prepares release of new album, offers “Let Go” as free mp3

Broken Bells announce tour with Morning Benders

Mega-hyped but kind of let-down super duo Broken Bells (Danger Mouse and The Shins’ James Mercer) just announced a tour with mega-hyped but amazing band the Morning Benders across the U.S. and oh, a couple dates in Canada. I’m almost 100 percent sure that the Morning Benders will be amazing live and Broken Bells, well,… Continue reading Broken Bells announce tour with Morning Benders

Stars announce US tour dates

With the recent news that Stars are set to release their fifth studio album, The Five Ghosts, on June 22, comes a slew of US tour dates, along with this little nugget of coolness: Playing the new record in its entirety from start to finish, Stars are also letting fans select additional set list and encore… Continue reading Stars announce US tour dates

Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros announce new North American tour dates

It seems like just yesterday (it was actually September…) when Jamie posted about Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros touring all over the country and “driving around in a converted school bus and playing music like it’s 1969 all over again”. Well, these ladies and gents move quickly with their shows, and they’re on to… Continue reading Edward Sharpe & The Magnetic Zeros announce new North American tour dates
