TOUR
Above & Beyond start their 20 gig tour in January, kicking off at LAVO Las Vegas on January 17th. This will be the first of two for their 2012 Group Therapy North America Tour.
Tickets are available now, but act quick because they sold out two Hollywood Palladium shows in a record 24 hours earlier this year! The second part of the Group Therapy North America Tour will take place in May & June 2012.
While the songs of legendary classic rockers Led Zeppelin have been tucked away in the tombs of musical history, they'll soon get a new life on the stage. Jason Bonham, son of Zeppelin's late drummer John Bonham, will be taking his "Led Zeppelin Experience" on a special east coast run, reconnecting fans with the music that his father helped create for decades.
The "Led Zeppelin Experience" is far from a cash-in on the seminal rockers' household name. Part tribute, part history lesson, Bonham combines a mesmerizing light show with some of his personal archived video footage of the band, turning the "Experience" into more than just one of rock's best cover sets. One of the concert's poignant moments is a duet of "Moby Dick" that Jason performs with his late father via video screens. Bonham revives "In The Light," which Zeppelin never played live, in addition to big hits such as "Rock n' Roll" and "Lemon Song."
With 10 sold-out concerts on her agenda, Adele has been forced to cancel her upcoming US tour. This marks the second time this year that vocal issues have put a stop to her soulful singing in the States. She was preparing to perform in Atlantic City, New Jersey when she suffered a hemorrhage into her vocal chord and posted an apologetic message on her website.
"Guys, im heartbroken and worried to tell you that yet again im experiencing problems with my voice. its ridiculous i know! i cant believe it myself. i follow all the advice im given and stick to regimes, rules and practices to the best of my ability but it seems to simply not be enough...i apologise from the bottom of my heart, sincerely i do. i know its not only disappointing because of the show, but its plane tickets, hotel bookings, birthdays, anniversaries and time wasted. but please have faith in me that this is the only thing i can do to make sure i can always sing and always make music for you to the best of my ability. truly yours and yours only forever, adele xx" (Read the full post here.)
The night's forecast was awesomeness with a chance of stage fog and scattered showers.
Bathed in blue and red light, Young The Giant started the show with an energetic performance, to say the least. Lead vocalist Sameer Gadhia appeared to be having seizures in between fits of banging his tambourine on one of his drummer's cymbals. Their set seemed to be in-sync with the weather as it started raining in the midst of their track "St. Walker," featuring lyrics like "If there is water, you’ll drown/ Drown down in it." If you like The Killers, Modest Mouse and Franz Ferdinand, you'll favor this indie rock band from Irvine, California. Check out their self-titled debut album on purevolume.com.
P-Thugg and Dave 1 are on the road after the release of their third album Business Casual. The Canadian Electrofunk duo will be performing at The Fillmore Miami Beach/Jackie Gleason Theater as part of their nationwide Night Falls Tour
Eclectic opening acts include the smooth, retro sounds of Mayer Hawthorne, funky French DJ Breakbot and Brooklyn-based music mixer Sammy Bananas.
Chromeo's career took off in 2004 with the release of their debut album She's In Control. Three years later they released Fancy Footwork to positive reviews and had three hit singles. Their latest album Business Casua was released last year. Their synthesized sound is often reminiscent of the 80's and can be heard at dance clubs around the world.
Don't miss this show that is sure to be as electric as their sound. Showtime is 9 PM and tickets can be purchased from Live Nation.
Rapper Wale has a lot to look forward to in the next few months.
His sexified first single titled "That Way" features Rick Ross and Jeremih. The music video debuted last week on BET's 106 and Park and is currently playing on MTA@ and MTVU.
In addition to new music, Wale fans can look forward to the opportunity to design an official commemorative tour poster for the final performance of the "Ambition Tour" in Atlanta on December 8th. The winner will receive $500 and two tickets to the concert and the poster design will be honored at the show. The contest ends October 18th.
Ready to jam? Perhaps you have already heard about Dispatch’s sold out reunion tour, but have you heard there’s a new EP release in the works as well?
At last, Dispatch has returned to the recording studio after ten full years of absence.

Yesterday, Dispatch released the EP’s lead single “Melon Bend” online (free download available below in exchange for an e-mail address), and on iTunes today via Bomber Records.
Continuing their success from their first e.p Dr. Ponie Medicine Ponie, the Dangerous Ponies released their self titled debut two weeks ago on indie Philadelphian label Punk Rock Payroll.
The Dangerous Ponies' is comprised of seven members and their sound is dance pop with a focus on harmonies and guitar arrangements.
They are known as great performers, who often interact with their audience while they shake their tambourines.
In support their first album, the Dangerous Ponies also plan on touring this spring. You can listen to their music here and buy their album here.
