Phoenix Video & Tour

Photobucket

We can count ourselves as a lucky few, at least on this first round. I remember catching them at ACL years ago and not liking their live show, but again, it was midday, hot as *&@! , and humid. I will take my chances again. Their newest album channels everything I love about music and is definitely one of my favorites of the very young year.

Gomez Adds Tour Dates

Photobucket

Gomez is out promoting their new album, A New Tide, and as I reported earlier, the UK band will be playing Denver @ the Mile High Music Festival, amongst other festivals and new tour dates! The album is a grower and as long as I have been a fan, nine years, I have never seen them, so I’m looking at this year to be the year.
