The show takes place at the Glass Academy, www. For example, we have a whole range of items in pink that are perfect gifts for Breast Cancer awareness. It is also the working studio of Furnace Design Studio. It was an introduction to their sound which is full of layered guitar work and pensive melodies ranging in influence from Fleet Foxes, Beach House, Washed Out and The Smiths. Confirmed tour dates are below and there are a slew more on the horizon, so be sure to visit www.
Maria Brink was steamy hot and Elias Soriano danced with his tresses. Nuff said. Posted up by Shane on I talked to lead singer Matthew Molarius this morning who was starting to sound pumped up about the show tonight at the Royal Oak Music Theatre where they are opening up for Killers frontman Brandon Flowers. From that connection, Brandon heard about Transfer and invited them to tour with him through Europe and the US.
The best part he states is the building anticipation of the audiences in Europe. These kids waiting would be for hours for the show to start and just flip out when the show starts. Now that Europe is done, they are here in the US.
He formed a friendship with fellow band mate Jason Cardenas and talked about swapping music. Both groups of parents were rock fans and they followed similar paths as seen by Jason trading Led Zeppelin albums to Matt who would give him Pink Floyd in return.
In 7th grade, these kids had good taste in music which is something that they seem to emulate. However, songwriters need to learn a few things, esp that when you record something it is forever.
When he learned that, he also learned to take a little more time respecting the craft and take your time. He feels that this has come together after meeting up Shaun who besides playing bass, also does piano and produces which helps get there sound together.
Transfer is the first really serious attempt and putting out music and Matt admits, so far it has been a good run with the new songs and the tour of Europe with Brandon. The band has a single out which can be found online.
He says it is just an introduction and their plan is to just work it and hopefully either release more singles or a full album. They are also planning on going back to England in Feb. If that works out, they will be opening for the Bravery.
In the meantime, he is just focused on the show tonight and meeting the audiences in this part of the country. This is his first time out this way, so you can see him before your friends do. Elysium Nightclub, Detroit.
Touring together with Gaiser, the Team will pass through 9 cities in Canada and North America, for this two week event. Elysium Lounge. Turner Hall Ballroom. Mansion Miami. We made our pals at Vagrant Records feel so bad about School of Seven Bells skipping Detroit on tour with Interpol that we made them offer up some free white vinyl records to giveaway.
Pick up a copy of the latest record here. Trance legend Paul Oakenfold rocked the house at the Fillmore this weekend. I was looking at the concert schedule and with the exception of Friday, it gets pretty sparse this time of year. Good luck versus New England this week though they are looking tough. At least you will have Kid Rock for your halftime entertainment. Did you know that Kid Rock and I share the same birthday?
It is nice seeing familiar Detroit settings and trying to figure out where certain episodes are shot. It was even cool seeing a guy that worked with me on the Census appearing as a cop on one episode I think it was episode 5 and he even had one line of dialogue!
Lastly, here are a couple more photos to share from the Concours. I hope everyone has a great Thansgiving! Go Lions! Ultimately we hope that pop up Detroit will enhance the arts and culture of the city. During Noel Night December 4th Grand Rapids Prog band Dendura will be opening for Epica, Scar Symmetry and 3 other national touring acts the day after thanksgiving at Blondies Detroit.
Sam Adams just released is his latest mixtape, Party Records, and is now available for free download. Trekking through the Midwest, The Cult finally arrived in Detroit. Ian and fellow Cultists delivered their ass kicking rock and the fans put it in their pipes and smoked it. Oh, and they smoked Cannabis too. I had an hour to spare before The Cult show tonight, so I trucked down to Campus Martius for the tree lighting ceremony.

The Pin Up's return for a reunion show. They bring a dynamic and innovative approach to music that makes them stand out and thrill an eager audience. In mid-July , they captured and controlled a crowd of at a sold-out Boston House of Blues, supporting their friend rapper Sam Adams. Then they joined Sam's tour two months later for 6 dates. Their music has also made is second appearance on the the Boston airwaves, with their song being spun numerous times on the famous HOT97 Boston. Woodz' vocals were also used on a French electro album by artist Paral-lal.

Case in point, Lupe being on track to sell over k in the first week , which will surpass both his previous debuts, which were presumably much more coherent and quality releases.
Selfishly, I was hoping Lasers would go double glass so that Lupe could be released from Atlantic and get back to guiding his own spaceship and making his brand of original music. Unfortunately, barring some unforeseen event that would cause his contract with Atlantic to terminate, Lupe is now probably going to continue to be used as a cash cow for a record company he hates and subsequently forced into making more music that he doesn't personally like, but will sell.
If you're a Lupe fan and are expecting storytelling tracks like The Cool below , then you're going to hate his new album and the he did with his new album's "manufactured" sound. I'm tellin' you, lower your expectations prior to listening to his album, it's best for all involved Alright now that you're in the right frame of mind with expectations back in the ballpark, below is my favorite track on the album. This track, All Black Everything and Letting You Go represent the only glimpses of the artistry that I really admired on his past two albums.
The sythesizer gives the track a dreamy feel, which meshes well with the harsh, somber lyrics Lupe bleeds on the track. Fitting for the struggle he went through in making the album Sadly, iTunes and SoundScan don't always reward quality and a few hot singles can salvage just about anything. I hate the trend, but it's the climate we live in now, so take what you want from Lasers, just make sure it's with a grain of salt I'm sure that's not the first time someone has made that obvious, skin deep comparison, but it is interesting how many white rappers are coming out of the woodwork these days.
To be fair though, Sam Adams has been on his grind a little longer at the ripe age of 22 and doesn't have the support of a label mate to carry the torch like the 19 year old MM. You may have heard when he blast onto the scene with his remix of AsherRoth's I Love College or when his debut album outsold Lil Wayne and Rick Ross on first week sales on iTunes amid rumors of the hype being manufactured.
To clear the air, below are a few facts you may not know about Sammy The track above was off his debut album Boston's Boy , which was the center of controversy and had everyone scratching their heads due to the sales it had without any label backing.
As a sidebar, who really cares if he did purchase albums to create a buzz for himself? I don't because if you don't put your mouth where your money is in Hip Hop, people aren't gonna listen anyways. It's called Summer Techno and it sounds exactly like the title says. The beat is marked by a fast paced, electro, Hip-House rhythm with a sugary hook that serves as the icing on the cake.
Easily a standout track as I made a note driving to go and cop it, which you should too since he's offering the album FREE! Consider this a warning shot, jury is still out on whether I'm a buyer, but I'm diggin' this track even though it dropped 6 months ago It seems like now more than ever, regardless of how hardcore or gangsta rappers may claim to be, none of them are above dropping a hot and seductive 16 over a slow jam. Oh yea, it helps that everyone is still infatuated with the sounds comin' out of iamjimjonsin's keys too.
Can't hate, I still have yet to hear a Jim Jonsin beat that hasn't eventually ended up in the hands of someone who could turn it into a hit. I'd say this puts a bow on a pretty damn impressive upcoming album from kellyrowland, although it's odd to see a artist release four singles before the albums hits shelves. Commander was a classic track though, and I really thought Grown Ass Woman shoulda gotten a little more love than it did, especially from women who it had the power to inspire.
By my count that's three rock solid singles if you count the track below, which is more than most albums nowadays. Does anybody else miss the Dungeon Family as a collective? I know I know, we've gotten glimpses of the soulful undertones from the likes Bubba Sparxxx, Knarles Barkley, Cee-Lo and Big Boi, who have represented the click to the fullest individually , but collectively I miss tracks like White Gutz below that were so cot damn chalked full of rhythmic drum and bass mixed with ATL soul that it was hard to fully appreciate at the time Why does all that matter, because we've got a newcomer to add to the family, aleoncraft.
Below, you'll find a new one off his newest mixtape Mothership Decatur, due out April 7th. Aleon fits right into the fam with his otherworldly lyrics and fast paced, enlightened flow.
Don't discount the beat either, which was orchestrated by smka and fits into the Dungeon Fam sound like a size 22 on Shaq. Heads up in a month when the tape drops, I gotta feelin' between Battlefield LA , Paul and Aleon, this next month is gonna be taken over by the extra terrestrials Well, only in the world of mash-up's is something like this possible, and the end result is flawless.
Thanks to fellow blogger The Friendly Giant , we can now imagine what it would have been like if jackjohnson was in the studio when those great dudes put together the monster collaboration, Forever. Honestly, it's a no brainer chemistry wise since all five lyricists consistently try to raise the bar lyrically on every verse with lines that make witty sound like an underwhelming description. That leaves one question, will Catfish Billy 's unique delivery and zoned out content blend?
On the first effort below, he does stand out style wise as different from everyone else on the track, which doesn't help the continuity of the track, but I'm far from a point where I feel comfortable passing judgement. All I can say it I'm excited as hell that this track is the starting point and it's only gonna get better from here on out. Safe to say this is the best cut off that mixtape and a solid chance for top BMM playlist addition this month. Feel free to stream the mixtape below I eat bars, eat beasts for my appetite".
