The Daily Swarm : “Don’t think – just let it flow.” That’s the sampled vocal hook from The Chemical Brothers’ song “Don’t Think” that provides the title for the legendary U.K. dance-music duo’s first-ever concert documentary. It also provides the overall narrative and visual modus operandi for the film – an effective choice indeed that complements the dizzying blur of grooves, rhythms, atmospheres, and sophisticated stage production sonic siblings Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons famously deploy during their live shows… Read and comment.

Hawthorne Heights are out on their first tour of 2012 with Me Talk Pretty and The Young Electric. JT Woodruff from the band will be sending in Road Blogs to PropertyOfZack throughout the tour, so make sure to keep checking back for more!  From JT Woodruff: Confessions of a DIY Band…Part 1 I’m gonna write this blog in random spurts.  I don’t want it to seem like I am just reciting information.  I hope the reader will understand our point of view while touring.  So instead of going day by day, I will be picking random good ...

Albarn will bring his opera 'Doctor Dee' to the Wiltshire festival

Big Head Todd and the Monsters may not be one of the names that leap to mind when discussing the early history of the modern jamband festival scene. Yet, when you look back on the old, grainy, Zapruder footage of the mid-90s H.O.R.D.E. festivals, Todd Park Mohr’s Colorado-based trio (now a quartet) doesn’t come across as a fuzzy blur in an off-center grassy knoll. Alongside Blues Traveler, Widespread Panic and a pre-Derek Trucks Allman Brothers Band, Big Head Todd & The Monsters were among one of the main draws of the 1993 and 1994 versions of the jamband world’s influential answer to Lollapalooza. At New York City’s Irving Plaza (mercifully nee Fillmore), BHT revisited their early days offering the fans that grew with them a real treat: Midnight Radio , their finest album, in its entirety. [Photo by C. Taylor Crothers] The only thing keeping the full album gimmick from having a renaissance is the fact that it may never have had a heyday. As it stands now, the results are mixed. When Bruce Springsteen breaks out The Wild, The Innocent & The E Street Shuffle at Madison Square Garden, the event can become awash in the warm glow of revisionist nostalgia where everyone remembers the album being successful upon its release. When Peter Frampton takes Frampton Comes Alive out on the road, it makes fine business sense. When The Spin Doctors resurrect Pocket Full of Kryptonite  (and themselves) at the Bowery Ballroom, it becomes kitschy fun for a finely-hewed target audience. When Evan Dando decides to perform The Lemonheads’ It’s A Shame About Ray at the Knitting Factory, it reeks of desperation and begs intervention. (In all fairness, you could interchange The Spin Doctors and Evan Dando in those last two sentences and still maintain an acceptable semblance of journalistic accuracy). An interesting marriage of the home listening and live concert experiences, it has to be bittersweet for an artist to use an album from their distant past as a successful selling point for a show. On one hand, reconnecting with a collection of songs that presumably found an audience and helped launch or sustain a career can be pretty special for both an artist and their audience. On the other, artists grow; devoting a night to putting an album on a pedestal that an artist may very ...

From the historic hardcore haven of New York City come yet another fresh face to the scene in Vise Massacre . The trio have been honing their craft in the age-old method of stepping in front of an audience and leaving it all on the stage, throughout their native New York and having a rare opportunity to take their assault overseas to Japan. Expendable Humans marks their official debut full-length and is almost entirely produced by the band themselves. The results are well above par for the course, enthralling and heavy in a way that satisfies and stands on it's ...

Geoff Barrow, man. First, he creates Portishead, arguably the best band Britain has produced over the last 15 years (sorry Blur and Oasis fans). Then instead of buying ivory turntable needles from the king ransom’s raised off sold-out Portishead tours, he funnels his time and energy into that most dead-end of economic propositions: a label.… Continue reading »
