Blue October performs in the streets after being booted from venue!

We have a lot of respect for Blue October...not only have they been able to turn their personal distresses into a successful career and help thousands also suffering from depression and other mental illnesses, but they continually put their fans first. The band, currently on tour in support of their newly released hit album Approaching Normal, left thousands of their Pittsburgh fans disappointed last night when the Fire Marshall shut their show down due to overcrowding and "unsafe conditions". Unsatisfied with this resolve, Blue October removed their gear from the venue...and set it back up outside where they proceed to play their set from a nearby street corner. Needless to say Blue October left their faithful fans happy and fulfilled. Now that's rock and roll. [read more]

Music Unites has teamed up with Universal Motown to create an intimate evening of music and culture

Music Unites sees music as a common medium that helps to unite diverse cultures in our own neighborhoods and transcend boundaries in the global community . Adding Universal Motown to the mix is a pretty perfect pairing as the label once famous for a specific and niche form of music has trancended their own boundaries to now offer up A-class artists from every genre imaginable. Taking their name from little known Australian beach in which they spent their childhood , Tamarama's Jay Lyon and Nicolas "Pottsy" Potts have nurtured a sound reflecting life on the shores of OZ. With a mix of folk, rock, and reggae rhythms, breezy melodies and easy going lyrics this new collection of songs will surely catch your attention. http://www.myspace.com/tamarama On the new Blue October album, Approaching Normal, Justin Furstenfeld, moves his band forward into confident new territory as a songwriter and as a storyteller. Steve Lillywhite, the producer synonymous with U2 and five-time Grammy Award winner guided the way and the result is an album that breaks the mold of whatever anyone may think Blue October is. http://www.myspace.com/blueoctober [read more]

AFTER MIDNIGHT PROJECT ROCKS 4000 KIDS!!!

One of the best new live bands on the circuit, After Midnight Project SLAYS it opening for Red Jumpsuit Apparatus on their stop in Kearney, NE. Luckily, someone was smart enough to catch the show on film so we could provide it to our loyal fans here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oDrmwhG0zEo This alterna-rock quintet have been credibly compared to the likes of Incubus, NIN and Smashing Pumpkins. Their songs drip with the pain and emotion of a continuously evolving 20 something, who admits he doesn't have all of the answers. The band credits failed relationships, and growing up in Hollywood as inspiration for their lyrics. http://www.myspace.com/aftermidnightproject today!
