The Citizens Band make their SXSW debut at the Citizens Circus!– 3/12/

New York City's entertainment bible Paper magazine called them "the most exciting act in New York nightlife", and claimed that "their combination of Broadway showmanship and arty charisma make them the most appealing nightlife act to hit downtown in a long, long time." Now, NYC's most thrilling musical act The Citizens Band announce their SXSW debut at the Warby Parker Citizen's Circus in the grounds of the French Legation Museum at sundown on Monday 12, Tuesday 13 and Wednesday 14 of March. The free all-ages show features some of the Citizens Band's most glorious talents and promises to turn a little corner of Austin into the most glamorous place in Texas, the likes of which have never been seen before!

The Citizens Band are a musical troupe in the old fashioned sense of the word, a like-minded group of artists with an ever-changing line-up and boundless creativity. Hailing from a fantastic neverland that lies somewhere between a carnival sideshow and Weimar Berlin, The Citizens Band is a sexy, raucous, collaborative cabaret. Offering a unique blend of melodious song, dance and ariel ballet The Citizens Band’s primary goal is to entertain, but always with a sharp jab of the elbow to remind their audience of the state of the world and their place in it. A social conscience is at the core of their being and The Citizens Band likes to remind us that we’re all citizens of the same world.

Please let me know if you'd like to attend and/ or speak with members of The Citizens Band prior to or during SXSW. More information on the troupe and video clips of previous shows available here: www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar

Maroon 5s James Valentine to Run Los Angeles Marathon to Benefit The Pablove Foundation– 9/21/

Maroon 5 guitarist James Valentine has announced he will run the Los Angeles Marathon to help benefit The Pablove Foundation (www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar). The national organization’s mission is to fund pediatric cancer research and advances in treatment, to educate and empower cancer families and to improve the quality of life for children living with cancer through hospital play, music and arts programs.

Already an avid jogger, James Valentine was inspired by Maroon 5’s work with the Teen Impact Program at the Children’s Hospital in Los Angeles, which provides activities and support for young people facing cancer, where Valentine met amazing kids who faced incredible challenges. He was particularly touched by Carlo, a young guitarist in the Teen Impact Program, with whom he shared a passion for guitar. Tragically, Carlo passed earlier this year but his death impacted Valentine, encouraging his desire to no raise money for cancer research.

Melissa Ferrick’s “Still Right Here” Tour Set To Kick Off This Weekend!

“Headphones On” Widget & Download Available Now!

The incredible Melissa Ferrick is set to zigzag across the country in the coming months to support her highly anticipated upcoming release Still Right Here, set to hit on September 13 via MPress Records. Melissa’s first studio recording in five years, Still Right Here boasts guest spots from the likes of Ani DiFranco and Kaki King and is a testament to the sound that this talented songstress has honed and perfected over her impressive two decade career. The tour kicks off in Provincetown, MA at the Art House Theatre for a double bill on September 3rd and 4th and winds its way across the country hitting all the major markets before wrapping in Dallas, TX at Poor David’s Pub on October 29th. November will see Melissa touring with Ani DiFranco across the East Coast.

Melissa Ferrick’s extraordinary career longevity as a predominantly independent artist is virtually unheard of in today’s industry and speaks to her talent and the world she has built for herself. There is her expansive body of work, mapped out over the sixteen albums that comprise her career to date, nearly all of which she distributed herself. There is the inspiration she’s taken from the amazing artists she’s shared the stage with, including Morrissey, Bob Dylan, Paul Westerberg, Weezer, amongst others. There are the stories of the crisscrossed world and the things she has both gained and lost in her wake. There is the fervent fan-base that has grown with Ferrick but above all there is the sound, a voice burnished by breakdowns and breakthroughs, refined over the twenty years she has been doing this. And now, there is Still Right Here, the sum of these hard-earned parts set to music, Ferrick’s gorgeous purpose unspooling over the ten astounding tracks that comprise the album.

LOS CAMPESINOS! Announce New Album Hello Sadness!– 8/31/

LOS CAMPESINOS! Hello Sadness (Arts & Crafts; November 15th, ) (Credit: Jon Bergman)

Arts & Crafts is proud to announce the release of the newest album by Cardiff, Wales’ Los Campesinos! entitled Hello Sadness on November 15th, Recorded earlier this year in Girona, Spain by producer John Goodmanson – responsible for the septet’s previous two albums, ’s We Are Beautiful, We Are Doomed and ’s Romance is Boring – Hello Sadness is Los Campesinos! at their most melodic, direct and exhilarating, featuring ten songs of love, loss and heartbreak. It is an honest, bare-bones documentation of two people breaking up and trying not to break up in the process, and is simultaneously the most focused collection by Los Campesinos! to date.

Ever present are the wry observations, the razor-sharp wordplay and the band’s varied instrumentation, combined with some of the saddest, world-weary confessionals Los Campesinos! have ever recorded. Indeed, Hello Sadness is wise beyond its years, exhibited not only in the sincerity, poetry and honesty of its lyrical content, but by the instrumental dynamics of its songs: a band that previously all put their foot on the accelerator pedal at once, a key element of their high octane sound, have learned how to take turns and let each other drive. Yes, things are still loud and upbeat. Yes, lead vocalist Gareth Campesinos! still tells it like it is. Yes, theirs is still the perfect middle ground between punk rock, indie pop, Morrissey and The Fall’s Mark E. Smith. But each instrument has a settled place; each song sounds incredibly confident in its aim and abilities. The result is a band that has never sounded more together while detailing the impact of a relationship falling apart.

At just ten songs and forty minutes, Hello Sadness is perhaps the first Los Campesinos! album that sounds lean and pruned, indulgence shorn away and filler ruthlessly excised. Opener “By Your Hand” envisions death at the hand of a lover – a perfect tune for setting the album’s tone and theme into place – while songs like “Baby I Got The Death Rattle” and “Light Leaves, Dark Sees Pt. II” come from a raw, uncertain place that, in their confusion of emotions, feels more authentic than previous Los Campesinos! recordings. This is bolstered by the band’s own voices – singing together at least once one every song – as a unified message of hope, dismay and need. It’s a confessional feel that’s intensified in places by whispers of incidental sound – the rattle of rain, distant radio, the hiss of room microphones – and snatches of Dictaphone, captured by Gareth in a lonely or introspective moment. It’s an album whose very purpose and complexion changed dramatically when, on the eve of recording, the end of a relationship meant every word that had been penned before had to be rewritten. More heart-on-sleeve than ever before, Hello Sadness is Los Campesinos! at their very best.

Los Campesinos! are: Gareth Campesinos! (vocals), Tom Campesinos! (guitar), Neil Campesinos! (guitar), Kim Campesinos! (keyboard/vocals), Jason Campesinos! (drums), Rob Campesinos! (keyboard/guitar) and Ellen Campesinos! (bass).

Hello Sadness track listing: 1. By Your Hand 2. Songs About Your Girlfriend 3. Hello Sadness 4. Life Is A Long Time 5. Every Defeat A Divorce (Three Lions) 6. Hate For The Island 7. The Black Bird, The Dark Slope 8. To Tundra 9. Baby I Got The Death Rattle Light Leaves, Dark Sees Pt. II

Rosi Golan and Family Records Team Up To Release Lead Balloon on Sept 27– 8/24/

Rosi Golan and Family Records are extremely excited to announce their partnership for the upcoming release of the gorgeous full length, Lead Balloon set to hit September Family Records is a small but tenacious music company based in NYC, run by artists infected with the moon-headed notion that songs can improve the world. We agree wholeheartedly, the 12 stunning tracks that make up Lead Balloon have definitely brightened our world. Catch Rosi on tour now with Jason Reeves before she heads overseas to play select shows with Joshua Radin as well as Family Records band, Wakey!Wakey!.

Over the years Rosi Golan has worked to refine and hone her sound, collecting new elements and crafting her art in the places she finds herself. The Israeli-born songstress has made many stops in her travels and Lead Balloon perfectly captures the environment where Rosi brought each song to fruition – there is the bone-damp chill of London, the constant buzz of Brooklyn and the arid wind of Los Angeles. Produced by Tony Berg (Phantom Planet, Aimee Mann), the album moves fluidly between genres, containing songs steeped in Americana, clever pop currents running throughout, and thoughtful folk. Her unique talent for rich, dark melodies showcases a voice that not only draws you in, but still haunts you the next day.

Family Records President Wesley Verhoeve states “We're beyond thrilled to welcome Rosi to the Family. She has been a friend of the Family for years, a like-minded soul and a tremendously talented song writer with a golden voice. Her new album "Lead Balloon" is one of those rare records that undulates perfectly between all those thoughts and emotions that every person experiences as part of a relationship, and we can't wait to share it with our fans and the world at large. We're also excited to welcome Rosi's fan base into our Family of passionate music fans, and to be working with Rosi's manager David Margolis who has been a friend for years as well.”

The Drifter & The Gypsy, Rosi’s debut, generated several songs that were prominently featured on numerous television shows (including One Tree Hill and Private Practice) and in film (Dear John). On the strength of Drifter, Rosi embarked on a series of tours that saw her traipsing the globe before finally laying new roots down on the west coast where she began recording Lead Balloon.

SO and SO Announce Full Length ASAP and Premiere a Track With Us Weekly – 8/23/

Whether they’re conjuring dreamy pop harmonies or turning out soulful beats, Los Angeles based SO & SO is not your average troupe of ordinary indie pop musicians. With their debut album ASAP set to hit November 15th, SO & SO transcend traditional pop and undulate gracefully from trip-hop to rock and indie pop to electro-fusion. With the incredible award winning multi-platinum producers Rob Wells, Damon Sharpe and newcomer Justin Glasco on board, the California quintet comes together to exude propulsive energy that’s innovative, fresh and sonically all-their-own on this incredibly exciting upcoming release. The band has teamed up with Us Weekly & Ian in Your Ear to exclusively premiere a first listen of the incredibly catchy track, “What’s The Use”, listen to it here: www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar

SO & SO came to fruition when singer Amie Miriello (Dirtie Blonde) and guitarist Jay “Raisin” Dmuchowski (Dirtie Blonde) joined forces with producer Rob Wells at ATV in Canada to compose a songwriting trio and sell the tracks to other artists. However, after the first few tracks were cut they realized that they had stumbled onto something very special, a novel sound Amie describes as “sexy indie pop with real soul,” a sound they wanted to take on themselves. That batch of tunes would eventually become the inspiration for their upcoming full length, ASAP, but SO & SO weren’t quite complete just yet…

While playing a gig at LA’s Molly Malone’s, Amie stumbled upon Brandon Rogers a top 12 finalist on Season 6 of American Idol, and was immediately smitten by his effortless vocals. While Brandon was wholly focused on his solo career, he quickly recognized their special and electric vocal chemistry, accepting Amie’s offer to join SO & SO without hesitation. Drummer Adam Hanson and bassist Bana Haffar round out the band and fully connect the dots between pop palatability and dirty soul, a unique, one-of-a-kind dynamic heard throughout ASAP.

Their brilliant upcoming debut showcases a whirlwind of emotion juxtaposed with poignant poetic rumination. On “Heart Beats Slow” acoustic guitars growl into a powerful chorus, while “What’s the Use?” meanders from tripped-out electronic textures to a hand-clap fueled hook. At the heart of the music lies Amie’s entrancing croon, flares of Jay’s evocative guitar, and a dual backdrop of undeniable soul by drummer Adam and bassist Bana. Like icing on a cake, Brandon provides a decadent layer of rich, organic vocals.

Baaba Maal Announces Fall US Speaking Engagements Tales From The Sahel– 8/22/

This October, Baaba Maal will be coming to the US to headline a series of speaking dates moderated by renowned music journalist and author Chris Salewicz (The Sunday Times, the Independent, Bob Marley: The Untold Story). Baaba will discuss his personal experiences growing up in Africa and traveling the world, his views on issues facing Africa and the African diaspora, as well as other assorted issues of the day. During the course of the evening, Baaba will be playing some songs alongside multi-instrumentalist Jim Palmer and his longstanding percussionist Mamadou Sarr. This will be a unique and intimate event- an evening full of surprises.

One of the true stars to rise from the African continent, Senegalese master musician Baaba Maal has been making music for the world to enjoy for nearly two decades. Renowned for his fiery vocal performances and his musical fusion of western sounds with the traditional beats and melodies of West Africa, Baaba Maal has earned immense critical acclaim and has continually reinforced his role as a seminal artist in the world music arena. His work has also extended beyond music and into the realms of humanitarian spokesperson through his role as youth emissary for the United Nation's Development Program and his outspoken stances on HIV/AIDS in Africa, the growing role of women on the continent and his support of youth-based initiatives to help Africa move into the new millennium.

It’s been roughly one year since Baaba Maal toured the US in support of his latest album, Television, which CNN called “fearless and all-encompassing…fresh yet timeless.” This upcoming series of dates will give US audiences a different experience- the chance to hear Baaba's worldly insight and knowledge.

SIGUR ROS announces the release of INNI– 8/17/

Sigur Rós will release Inni – the definitive Sigur Rós live experience – this November on XL Recordings. Inni is comprised of a double live album and seventy-five minute film of Sigur Rós’ last show before their well-documented “indefinite hiatus” at the end of Recorded and shot over two nights at London’s Alexandra Palace at the close of the world tour around their fifth full length album, Með suð í eyrum við spilum endalaust, Inni sees the band at the peak of their powers, captured on film for the first time as a core four-piece since they were joined by string section amiina at the start of the century. Directed by Vincent Morisset (Arcade Fire’s Miroir Noir), the film is set to debut at this year’s Venice Film Festival on September 3rd,

Inni is Sigur Rós' second live film following 's hugely-celebrated tour documentary Heima. Whereas that film positioned the enigmatic group in the context of their Icelandic homeland, providing geographical, social and historical perspectives on their otherworldly music, Inni focuses purely on the band's performance, and stands as a stark counterpoint to Heima’s kaleidoscopic richness. Where Heima was lush and colorfully expansive, Inni is spare and near-monochromatic in its tunnel vision. Filmed in a manner that invites both intimacy and claustrophobia, Inni cocoons the viewer in a one-on-one relationship with the band, eschewing the audience for closeness, depicting how it feels for both band and fan to experience Sigur Rós live.

The film’s elegance and atmosphere are enhanced by Morisset’s re-filming of the original digital footage on 16mm, which was then re-filmed again, sometimes through prisms and other found objects, allowing Inni to look and feel like something recovered from the past. Interspersed with this is archival footage drawn from the band’s previous decade, dating back as far as This juxtaposition gives viewers the full scope of Sigur Rós’ origins, evolution, originality and influence.

The live album Inni – a first for the band – is comprised of the full set from Alexandra Palace, played in order with just one omission, and clocks in at one-and-three-quarter hours. Recorded by Sigur Rós’ in-house studio engineer Birgir Jón Birgisson, Inni’s live audio recording is far and away the best way of replicating the full-force effect of standing in front of one of the world’s most extraordinary bands for an evening.

When taken in together, Inni’s film and live album give us an incredible account of one of the most celebrated and influential rock bands of recent years, showing where they’ve come from, where they’ve been, and like all things Sigur Rós, where it is they will be going next.

More details of how, when and where Inni will enter the world will be made available shortly. In the meantime, the trailer is available to watch now at www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar-Rówww.cronistalascolonias.com.ar

MIDDLE CLASS RUT Announce Headlining Fall Tour– 8/17/

Sacramento-based rock duo, Middle Class Rut, have announced the dates of their fall headlining tour! Fresh off the heels of a month long run with the Vans Warped Tour, MC Rut will be joined by Lite Brite and Ume as they make their way across the country. They will be hitting Indianapolis, Minneapolis, Tucson and bouncing around Texas along their routing wrapping their tour at the famed Emo’s in Austin, so be sure to mark your calendars – full list of dates is below! Before kicking off their headlining run, you can catch Middle Class Rut at such festivals as the Buzz Beach Ball and Sonic Boom on August 19 and September 4, respectively, as well as at Pointfest on September With a busy fall season ahead of them, MC Rut will also be playing as part of the heavy-hitting lineup at KROQ’s Epicenter on September

Middle Class Rut are touring in support of their debut album, No Name No Color, which spawned the smash radio hit “New Low” reaching No. 5 at Alternative Radio. Having being named “ Artist to Watch” by MTV and scoring a coveted spot in USA Today’s “On the Verge” feature, Middle Class Rut are one of the most promising acts of the year. They recently wrapped up a European arena tour with Linkin Park and just completed their month long trek with the Vans Warped Tour.

MC Rut has been eagerly embraced by rock fans and the press for their stunning debut, which artfully blurs the line between heavy and melodic with raw, energized rock and roll. This band is no overnight sensation. The duo, Zack Lopez (vocals, guitar) and Sean Stockham (drums), have been playing together since they were teenagers. The pair records every song they write together almost immediately upon coming up with the idea in their rehearsal space, capturing the instantaneous spirit of a track while still in the moment. They've toured with a range of artists, including Linkin Park, Social Distortion, Alice in Chains, Them Crooked Vultures, The Bronx and Trail Of Dead and their track “Lifelong Dayshift” is featured on the exclusive GameStop release of the Transformers: Dark of the Moon soundtrack.

DONORA Announce New Album Video Premiere Today on AOL Spinner– 8/16/

Jake Hanner met the future lead singer of the band Donora a few hours after she was born. He was disappointed she was a girl and cried. Eighteen years later, Jake got over it, and he and his sister Casey had their first practice as a band. Now the brother/sister team, alongside band mate Jake Churton, are releasing Boyfriends, Girlfriends, their infectious sophomore album that is poised to put the Pittsburgh trio on the musical map. Today the band has unveiled the video for first single, “The World Is Ours,” on AOL Spinner. Check out the clip here (www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar). Boyfriends, Girlfriends is set for release on September 27th on Rostrum Records.

You may recognize Casey Hanner’s soaring vocals from sync spots pulled from their self-titled debut album for multiple MTV shows or as the soundtrack to PostSecret’s Valentine’s Day viral video. With a buzzy debut album and a viral video of their own under their belts (see the awe-inspiring hoola-hoop clip for track “I Think I Like You” here) www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar?v=BKaFX_mQBhU, Donora returned to the family studio to write and record Boyfriends, Girlfriends. The Hanner siblings grew up in a music household, living over the recording studio that their father runs. Casey’s bedroom was directly above the control room, and she attributes her ability to sleep through anything to this fact. Jake grew up watching his father in the studio and happened to pick up a thing or two, which he lends brilliantly to the production of their sophomore album.

The band blends ‘80s slick-pop with ‘50s girl group bop, an alchemy that when layered under the band’s upbeat lyrics leads to an assured exuberance, a whimsy contained on the record that Casey likens to having a “Disney” effect. Jake Hanner plays drums, triggers samples from his octapad, and sings backup, and Casey sings and plays bar chords on an old black and white Silvertone.

Aptly named, Boyfriends, Girlfriends is threaded through with a welcome honesty, a hard stare at love and the mythology that surrounds it. First single “The World Is Ours” is a jangle-pop anthem, a point-counterpoint tune that chugs through the elation of love with Casey’s gauzy vocals, as Jake’s provide a shot of realism. “And Then The Girls” is the best song the ‘80s never produced, equal parts synth chilliness and dance-pop warmth, chronicling the predisposition that most have to wait on an idealized version of love. “Mancini’s Dance Hall” – based on the tales a local plumber has spun about his youth -- whirls open in sepia tones before turning into a full-on dance floor strut. Central to the album, and to the band’s sound, is the notion that things can be both serious and fun, upbeat and important.

1. The Story

2. Champion

3. The World Is Ours

4. Mancini’s Dance Hall

Vanessa Carlton Joins Matt Nathanson on Fall Tour Appearances on Conan and CBS Saturday Morning This Week– 8/16/

Vanessa Carlton has announced that she will be joining Matt Nathanson on a coast-to-coast U.S. tour this fall. Kicking off on September 25th in New Orleans, LA, the tour comes on the heels of the release of Vanessa’s acclaimed new album, Rabbits on the Run, out now on Razor & Tie.

Tune in this week to get a preview of Vanessa’s live show with two television performances. On Wednesday, August 17th Vanessa will perform on Conan and on Saturday, August 20th she will take the stage on CBS Saturday Morning. Vanessa recently played her first single “Carousel” on The Today Show as well as The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Praise for Rabbits on the Run:

“A lovely sort of melancholy magic.” - Entertainment Weekly

“Rabbits on the Run is Vanessa Carlton's career high water mark thus far, especially on the stunning "Hear the Bells" and "Dear California", a disarming love letter to the Golden State.” KCRW’s Chris Douridas

“Vanessa Carlton again demonstrates her knack for pensive, piano-driven pop on ‘Carousel’ from Rabbits on the Run.” –People

“Singer and pianist Ms. Carlton has long aspired to a different brand of pop stardom: less navel-baring ….and more melodramatic, heavily arranged pop symphonies.” -The New York Times

“Wistful, piano-led balladry, but there's a touch of darkness and complexity on display here that wasn't as apparent on her earlier hits…. she's certainly not just another sensitive girl with a piano….” - www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar

Rabbits on the Run is the most honest and uncompromised album Vanessa Carlton has recorded to date, revealing a striking departure and an exciting snapshot in the evolution of this exquisite storyteller and inventive musician. The album was recorded in the UK at Peter Gabriel’s world-renowned Real World Studios with producer Steve Osborne (U2, B’s, KT Tunstall, Doves). The album finds Vanessa returning to music-making its most organic form to create ten intimate, evocative songs, recorded directly to tape with her close-knit team of collaborators including Steve Osborne, Patrick Hallahan of My Morning Jacket, and Ari Ingber of The Upwelling (all playing on the album). Partly inspired by two books, Richard Adams' Watership Down and Stephen Hawking's A Brief History of Time, Rabbits on the Run is song set of gorgeous, haunting melodies and finely-crafted stories, including the lush first single "Carousel,” the ambient and eerie “Hear the Bells” and the propulsive “London.”

OMD Announces North American Tour Dates– 8/2/

Orchestral Manoeuvres In The Dark, one of the UK’s most iconic bands, are returning to the U.S. and Canada for an extensive North American tour this fall. The stop tour marks OMD’s highly anticipated return to the U.S. following their sold-out and highly praised spring run earlier this year. The Boston Globe declared “It may have been their first tour of the U.S. in 23 years, but OMD still sounded as remarkably fresh as they did at their mids peak,” and Newsday proclaimed “brilliance was on display.” Similarly, Yahoo affirms that their much-talked about SXSW performance “was truly the feel good show of the day.” In many cities, the excitement was so high that the concert had to be relocated to a larger venue to accommodate all the demand. The tour will feature the original OMD line up of Andy McCluskey, Paul Humphreys, Martin Cooper (keyboards) and Malcolm Holmes (drums).

Kicking off September 16 in Miami, the outing brings the band to New York, Philadelphia, Minneapolis, Seattle, Portland, Los Angeles, Dallas, San Francisco and many more. In cities where they performed this spring, OMD will be playing a slightly different set of songs to keep the show fresh, but will still include all the hits and classic fan favorites.

OMD is touring in support of History of Modern, their first new album in 14 years. Released last fall via Bright Antenna/ILG, the album has sold over , copies worldwide and continues to receive overwhelming praise. Interview Magazine calls it “a forward-thinking but nostalgic visit to OMD's synth-y past….they are as influential as the band's contemporaries—Numan, Depeche Mode, even Joy Division,” and the Los Angeles Times states “their updates of Kraftwerk's and Can's analog wrangling still sound like tomorrow.” OMD frontman Andy McCluskey has called it “our best album since Architecture and Morality” – and few would disagree. The album was self-produced by OMD and mixed by one of the UK’s most in demand producers Mike Crossey (Artic Monkeys/Blood Red Shoes/Razorlight).

It's nearly thirty years since OMD first harnessed their creative and commercial powers, and ’s return with History of Modern proves they still have a way with a warm melody and interesting lyric. For all their love of experimental German music, the Wirral duo remains at heart, slaves to the pop song. History of Modern is a powerful, pulsating, vibrant testament to their shared pop sensibility. The song collection contains classic OMD songs that invoke their pioneering and influential electronic roots. Many of today’s electro artists such as LCD Soundsystem’s James Murphy, Mark Ronson, The XX, MGMT and The Killers have repeatedly cited OMD as a massive inspiration.

DURAN DURAN Return To North America This Fall for Headlining Tour– 8/2/

Duran Duran are thrilled to announce their North American Fall tour, set to kick off September 23rd in Everett, WA at the Comcast Arena. After a brief run of intimate album release shows this past Spring, the band will return to this side of the pond for eagerly anticipated live dates behind their critically acclaimed 13th studio album ALL YOU NEED IS NOW, produced by Mark Ronson and out on S-Curve Records. With performances from coast to coast that will include the Nokia Theater in LA and Tower Theatre in Philadelphia, the band will play their biggest hits and the incredible new songs that have inspired many to declare that Duran Duran are truly having a big moment in

With a brand new production that the band members have designed specifically for the North American run, these shows follow Duran Duran’s brilliantly reviewed live shows earlier in the year. American alternative pop-rockers Neon Trees will join the band as special guests on select dates.

Back in the UK, the Duran Duran rumor mill was recently running on high until the band confirmed that indeed they had reunited supermodels Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford, Eva Herzigova, Helena Christensen, and Yasmin Le Bon for their “Girl Panic !” video, which superstar director JonasAkerlund recently shot in London in collaboration with Harper’s Bazaar and Swarovski Elements. Look out for the video coming this Fall.

One of the most celebrated albums of the band’s storied three-decade career, the nine-track digital-only version of ALL YOU NEED IS NOW hit #1 on the iTunes Albums Charts in 15 countries before the release of the track LP earlier this year. Around the album’s release, Duran Duran – who have sold more than 80 million albums throughout their career – graced the cover of Paper Magazine and were all over America’s television screens with performances on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The Ellen DeGeneres Show(twice!), Jimmy Kimmel Live and Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. They also played a very special one-night-only show for the American Express: Unstaged series, streamed live and directed by iconic filmmakerDavid Lynch. But there’s nothing quite like experiencing a Duran Duran show for yourself, so now’s the time to grab your tickets and enjoy!

Time for Atlanta, GA’s fresh-faced four-piece the Balkans to get in-your-face on www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar. After lighting up the blogosphere with their scruffy high-energy garage punk, Noisey followed the band to Athens, GA and scored an exclusive interview that details the wild, occasionally bloody, life of underground music in the deep South.

The self-taught composer produced and arranged Handmade in its entirety. Music is the story of her life- a family affair. The story of a Berber girl born in Morocco, Hindi’s father was in the army and her mother a housewife, occasional actress and singer of village repute. Her uncles were musicians in the post-psychedelic Moroccan scene of the 60’s and 70’s. She grew up to the sounds of traditional Berber music, the blues of the great Malian Ali Farka Touré and desert rock’n’roll. All of this occurred before she set out across the Mediterranean to join her father in Paris, taking her first job at the Louvre.

While the art was influencing her imagination, she started to hone her musical chops doing backing vocals on hip-hop-flavored soul albums before embarking on her solo career. “I soon got fed up with the machines and loops, but what I took away from that experience was the understanding of what I really wanted to do.”

The album’s first single “Beautiful Tango” is a smoky ballad; a whistle-along melodic tribute to love. This transfixing album pays homage to her heritage with ballads like “Imik Si Mik” (Little by Little) and “Oursoul” (Bygones) in her native Berber tongue.

A chanteuse with a vibrant flare, Hindi’s sound is stripped down and warm, revealing her authenticity. “Set Me Free” sings like a hymn with an impromptu performance by Hindi’s mother using plastic bags as percussion. Hindi effortlessly channels elements of contemporaries such as Keren Ann and Nouvelle Vague, and established women before her such as Suzanne Vega and Madeline Peyroux, while staking her claim in today’s landscape with her thoroughly original touch.

Exhibiting the patina of maturity, this formidable new talent’s storytelling will appeal to a wide array of music fans. The album is a melding of soul and folk similar to the feel of when Les Nubians or Sade burst onto the scene. This time, Hindi carves out her own path as she shifts seamlessly from American folk, to Paris tradition to Moroccan soul. A versatile multi-instrumentalist, Hindi has crafted her own soundtrack of soul-folk-jazz ballads with south Moroccan roots, on the cusp of African culture.

Hindi will be touring the US for the first time this Fall in support of Handmade, with stops in cities across the country including Los Angeles, Portland, Seattle, and Chicago, culminating in performances at CMJ in NYC.

After releasing his stunning debut album Come Back To Us (Brushfire Records) under the moniker Release The Sunbird, Zach Rogue of Rogue Wave will be taking his new project out on tour this month. In addition to bringing the new songs to cities for the first time with Release The Sunbird, he will also be playing a very special set at this year’s Outside Lands Festival on August 12th. Release The Sunbird is a side project, but it’s not. Release The Sunbird a solo project, but it’s not. This musical departure showcases a whole new side of Rogue, and is a re-introduction to an artist you thought you already knew.

Praise for Come Back To Us:

“There's not a harsh note in the music of Release the Sunbird …Come Back to Us … never feels like wallpaper: For all its summery brightness, it remains as sweet as springtime, while still revealing subtle shades of autumnal melancholy. “ – NPR

“…delivering low-key and soulful tracks that weave pleasant acoustic guitar melodies with soft percussion. It’s an album that takes Rogue away from the familiar efforts with Rogue Wave as it harbors eloquent and delicate melodies that pioneer a soft-spoken and delightful album. “ – CMJ

“Come Back to Us is an ideal record for lazy mornings, midnight drives (especially the kind with no particular destination), and maybe even a back yard barbeque. That is to say, its easy and intimate harmonies, sweet melodies, warm guitar tones, and often gently driving pace make this the perfect record for all of the moments when we’re reminded just how good life can be.” – KCRW “…showcases a particular mastery of contemplative folk through a sepia sun-soaked lens.”- Spinner

Cerebral Ballzy and Vice Magazine Premiere Junky For Her Video– 8/1/

Cerebral Ballzy were born and raised in East New York’s grimy core but instead of crying about it, they scream their way through a sprawling mess of 80s-hardcore and punk rock on their self-titled release which hit July 26 via Adult Swim’s Williams Street Records. The band and director Vice Cooler (Peaches, Deerhoof) came together on July 4th weekend in Costa Mesa at the Volcom House to film the video for “Junky For Her” and the finished product is a gritty throwback to 70’s gore flicks complete with slumber parties, blood, vomit and some very, very, very angry girls.

Vice Cooler, excited about the video and the band said ““Cerebral Ballzy are the real deal. There isn’t much division between their music and real life. Whether they were showing up completely wasted or being distracted by everything around them—skateboards, girls, and even a gun that was in the house—they kept me on my toes the whole time. Needless to say me and the crew were not shocked when Honor actually blacked out during the last scenes of him. And those scenes were the most physical and violent.” Watch the video now at Vice Magazine!

Led by frontman Honor Titus and bassist Melvin Honore, Cerebral Ballzy works to restore something golden to New York’s punk rock history – balls. The bands self-titled debut features tracks like “Insufficient Fare” and “Don’t Tell Me What To Do,” telling the story of broken homes and broken bones while capturing the teenage punks’ experience growing up in the Big Apple’s rotten center. Already dubbed “New York’s next great band” by the NME, Cerebral Ballzy have toured the UK and Europe twice, performing with Anthrax, Fucked Up and OFF! and the band continues its never-ending tour, jumping headfirst off every monitor and vomiting into every pit.

Rosi Golan The Wild Honey Pie Team Up To Make Video Magic Offer Free Downloads– 7/28/

Rosi Golan and The Wild Honey Pie got together earlier this month to make video magic with two of the stunning new tracks for Rosi’s upcoming release, Lead Balloon (Aug 30). Rosi’s incredible songs and flawless vocals paired gorgeously with the umbrella tree created just-for-her in Williamsburg’s McCarren Park by The Wild Honey Pie to offer fans a first listen of two new tracks in dazzling live videos. As an added bonus for this Buzzsession, the live version of both of the tracks she performed, “Paper Tiger” and “Flicker” are available as downloads (www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar).

Rosi's stunning sophomore effort Lead Balloon perfectly showcases the Israeli singer’s penchant for incredibly rich melodies that not only draw you in, but haunt you the next day. Produced by Tony Berg (Phantom Planet, Aimee Mann), the album moves fluidly across genres, containing songs steeped in Americana, clever pop currents running throughout, and thoughtful folk. Written over the past two years during breaks from touring, Lead Balloon perfectly captures the environment where Rosi brought each song to fruition – from the bone-damp chill of London and the constant buzz of Brooklyn to the arid wind of Los Angeles.

Later this summer, Rosi will head out on the road with Jason Reeves to blow away audiences nationwide with her gorgeous live show in support of Lead Balloon.

TREASURE ISLAND MUSIC FESTIVAL ANNOUNCES LINEUP– 7/27/

No one throws a birthday bash quite like the people behind the Treasure Island Music Festival: in honor of the festival’s fifth birthday, festival producers Noise Pop and Another Planet Entertainment are proud to announce the lineup for what is undoubtedly one of the most incredible, unique music experiences of the year. Saturday will be headlined by Empire of the Sun, while Sunday will be headlined by Death Cab For Cutie; the lineup will be rounded out by the likes of Cut Copy, Explosions in the Sky, Beach House (in one of their only live shows of !), Death From Above , Stephen Malkmus & the Jicks, Chromeo, The Hold Steady, Dizzee Rascal (making a very rare Stateside appearance!) Flying Lotus, St. Vincent and many more. (See full list below)

Two Day Early Bird tickets will go on-sale with limited availability at a very special price of $ on Wednesday, July 27th at 10am PST / 1pm EST via the Treasure Island website: www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar Once they are gone, Two Day Advance tickets ($) will be available, followed by Two Day Regular tickets ($) once the Advance tickets have sold out. Two Day VIP tickets ($) will also be available on this day, in addition to Two Day Parking Passes ($), which will be available a la carte for the first time.

Single Day VIP tickets ($) and Single Day General Admission tickets ($) will be made available on Friday, July 29th at 1pm EST / 10am PST. Single Day Parking Passes ($) will also go on-sale on this day.

Selected for its stunning, picturesque views, Treasure Island lays just off the coast of Yerba Buena Island in the San Francisco Bay. When the festival of the same name began in , it quickly became one of the premiere music events of the fall concert season thanks to its consistently fresh and exciting lineups – in its five years, Treasure Island Music Festival has never repeated an act, providing a completely new sonic experience each year. Last year, a sellout crowd (for the second year in a row!) descended on the decommissioned naval base to see headliners LCD Soundsystem and Belle & Sebastian; by splitting each day into genre-specific artists – the first day features dance/electronic artists, while the second features indie rock bands – the festival has previously hosted a wide range of acclaimed artists since its inception, including MGMT, The Flaming Lips, Vampire Weekend, M.I.A., Modest Mouse, The Raconteurs, Justice, Spoon, Thievery Corporation, Girl Talk, The Decemberists and many more.

In addition to providing music lovers with the coolest artists and an incredible setting, Treasure Island Music Festival ensures that attendees never miss a note of music. With two stages that alternate between bands, rather than having them play simultaneously, concert-goers have the chance to literally hear every note of every artist for the entire weekend.

For its fifth anniversary, Treasure Island Music Festival will be pulling out all the stops! Watch this space for more…

DARYL HALL Releases New Solo Album Laughing Down Crying Sept 27– 7/27/

Legendary singer-songwriter Daryl Hall is set to release his fifth solo studio album, Laughing Down Crying, on September 27th (Verve Forecast). With his iconic soulful vocals, Hall’s newest collection feels fresh and current while still maintaining his signature style and songwriting prowess. Hall was joined in the studio by co-producers Greg Bieck (Jennifer Lopez, Destiny’s Child, Ricky Martin) and Paul Pesco on the making of this album. Powerhouse producer, the late T-Bone Wolk (Billy Joel, Carly Simon, Elvis Costello), lent his expertise on stand-out tracks “Lifetime of Love”, “Wrong Side of History” and “Problem With You.” This album serves as the last project they worked on together after a prolific 30 year relationship.

While Daryl Hall is an adored staple in America’s music scene for his work in Daryl Hall and John Oates and his already illustrious solo career, he has recently been making waves as a “tastemaker” for up and coming talent as music host and Executive Producer of his smash hit web television series, Live From Daryl’s House. He has been giving artists like Fitz and the Tantrums and Company of Thieves a chance to perform to national audiences, often for the first time. On the program, which won the WEBBY Award in the Variety category, Hall seeks out new and breaking talent and invites them to his home in Millerton, NY. One of the most unlikely collaborations that stemmed from his show was his pairing up with electro-funk duo Chromeo for a standout performance at Bonnaroo in Since its inception in late , Live From Daryl’s House has since gained national distribution and will be airing in syndication beginning September 24th, www.cronistalascolonias.com.ar

Daryl Hall is the co-founder and lead singer of the “rock and soul” duo Daryl Hall and John Oates . The pair is recognized as the “Number One Selling Duo” in music history by the Recording Industry Association of America, a title they still hold today. Hall, an inductee to the Songwriters Hall of Fame, penned six songs that reached No. 1 on the Billboard charts including such classics as “Rich Girl” and “I Can’t Go For That (No Can Do)” and another five tunes that registered in the Top Hall’s solo career began in the ‘70s and he has released a handful of critically acclaimed albums in that time; Sacred Songs in , Three Hearts in the Happy Ending Machine in which spawned the No. 5 Billboard chart hit “Dreamtime”, Soul Alone in and Can’t Stop Dreaming in

With such an incredible legacy behind him and an exciting platform from which to move forward, the future is limitless for Daryl Hall. There are many new artists, some of whom he has championed on his show, who would attribute their work to the influence of the iconic songwriting and melodies that have solidified Hall as one of the most important artists in musical history. Laughing Down Crying will surely hit home with all of his loyal fans who have been waiting over a decade for his next solo effort.
