The Killers, umm, cover, umm, Bright Eyes…
Beware, the only redeeming quality of The Killers recently unveiled take on Bright Eyes‘ Cassadaga number “Four Winds” is the fact that it gets Bright Eyes back into headlines – something rare these days considering Mr. Oberst’s other ventures.

Check Out: Grouper/City Center 7″
Liz Harris’ work as Grouper has grown more and more majestic over the years, sometimes closer to traditional folk, sometimes relishing the layers and layers of blissful, reverb-drenched drones. 2005′s Way Their Crept was full of beautiful, sky-scraping moments, Harris’ angelic voice counterpoint to throbbing acoustic guitar. 2006′s Wide continued this sound, but moments of [...]

Art Brut is all about residencies
Either Art Brut really only likes a select few U.S. cities, or these tongue-in-cheek rockers aren’t fans of road trips – though the latter idea seems to be canceled out by the proceeding European tour. Whatever the case may be, when the English based outfit stops by America later this year in support of its [...]
The Prodigy takes world tour to U.S.
Question: When is The Prodigy going to return to the U.S. for a more proper tour? Answer: Come late May, following the electro rocker’s upcoming appearance Miami’s Ultra Music Festival and European extravaganza.
