A bit of fun
The Orpheum turned into a sweatbox a week ago Wednesday.
Brit flops?
Bloc Party have gotta be one of the more misunderstood — or at least mislabeled — Brit exports of the past couple of years. Lily Allen, "Smile" (mp3)
Dancing fools
Here are a few dance tracks that you otherwise normal, dance-music-hating people should give a chance — in the ear, the club, the car, wherever, as long as it’s air-conditioned.
This ain't no tea party
What unites the three acts is the bold rock sound that elevates the music to, well, epic proportions. Slideshow: Bloc Party and the Secret Machines at Bank of America Pavilion
Remix revolutions
For decades now, remixes have been a tool to get pop songs into dance clubs.
Slideshow: Bloc Party at House of Blues
Bloc Party, live at the House of Blues on March 19, 2009.
Harmonic convergences
Beyond their artful, crackling, dueling-guitar geometrics and layers of cunning rhythms, the Futureheads' most distinguishing and potent weapon is their four-part vocals.
Harmonic convergence
“I don’t know what to do with myself,” Ross Millard mutters, shrugging at his mates as he sets his guitar down at the rear of the small stage at the back of Seattle’s East Street Records and ambles toward his mic stand.
Young guns
The first Blanks show was at an after-school program for 35 children suffering from ADD.
Nervous energy
“If I actually stopped to think about what’s going on, I’d probably shit myself,” says James Rushent, singer/bassist for UK electro-rock quartet Does It Offend You, Yeah?
Music mismatch
Coming off break-up life support has rendered me incapable of common sense, which is why I volunteer to participate in foolish “single girl” activities that I will likely look back on for a chuckle when I’m craggier than Mick Jagger and sporting orthopedic Chuck Taylors.
