Tibi PuiuKaki King is one of my favorite contemporary guitarists, she just has style beautiful weary way of playing the guitar, that just makes me feel all warm inside. She’s also got a pretty decent voice and she’s a girl, what are the odds? Anyway here new album “Dreaming of Revenge” just came out this week via Velour Records and as I expected the first video is for the album’s highlight “Pull Me Out.” The video…

Radiohead set to play free gig on April 1st
April’s fool day prank or not, the lands from Radiohead have just announced that they’ll perform a another free entrance live setlist on April 1st, this time within the more spacious confines of London’s BBC Radio Theatre. The band made a similar attempt, back in mid January, when they announced and played a live concert, in a cramp location in downtown London, all in one day. The BBC will give out tickets either by applying…

Artist name: The OaKs Album name: Songs For Waiting Label: Self-Released Gender: Indie/Folk Release date: March 3, 2008 ZMErating: 8/10 Website: www.theoaksband.com Passion and meaning have somewhat started to fade away in today’s music, particularly in the more lyrically prominent scenes like folk and indie.

Irish soul master, Van Morrison,…
Kasabian Reveal More About New LP
I’ve never been a fan of their attitude, nor of the way they promote themselves, but you have to give them credit for making great music. But they’re nowhere near as good as Oasis as they claim to be, and they still have a lot to work to gain the recognition they claim to deserve. About the following album, band members have (as expected) only great words: at first, Tom Meighan described it as “psychedelic”,…
