At Indielaundry we are waiting with excitement to see the playdates and times for the Roskilde12 acts. There is a lot to see, and many personal main-acts haven´t released a date yet. Still missing Jack White, Dr. John, Django Django, Perfume Genius and others which we very much hope to see! But so far:   Thursday July 5th The Cure Janelle Monáe The Shins Friday July 6th Cold Specks Daughter

Også Africa Hitech og Giraffage er blevet føjet til det næsten komplette musikprogram

It's summer, and school's out, so that means we'll be hearing from Dr. John Maus again, as he gets ready to play some dates across the country. He's also releasing, on Ribbon, a collection of tracks he released before he was signed, titled A Collection of Rarities and Previously Unreleased Material. As you may know, John was recording for years extremely independently, forging tapes on a crucible in his basement and sending them only to selected consumers, as well as posting up t...

Dear Dr. John, Our 9-year-old cocker spaniel has started to develop cataracts and our vet has talked to us about...

Dr. John is an institution.  With his characteristic mystical groovy-gumbo-voodoo schtick and funky keyboard playing, he has been a force in American music since his groundbreaking Gris-Gris in 1968.  His early 1970s work, including Dr. John’s Gumbo and In the Right Place were instant classics.   A gifted piano (and occasional guitar) player, Mac Rebennack, or Dr. John, [...]

It certainly was a great night in Harlem on Thursday as producer Quincy Jones and a cast of blues jazz and R&B; greats gathered to raise funds and awareness for artists who have fallen into financial despair "We don't just dedicate this song to the ones who've passed on" Bono...

Photos by  Ebru Yildiz . Above: Ty Segall. (Check out more photos at  our Facebook page .) Brooklyn's the Men , Austin's Strange Boys , and San Francisco's White Fence  and Ty Segall all approach loud, blues-slicked rock from distinct corners. And they all have reputations as shit-hot live acts. This stacked quadruple-bill-- complete with  a miraculously recovered Jonathan Toubin , the celebrated rock-and-soul DJ who endured a freak accident earlier this year, spinning records-- was impressive enough to sell out the 1,500-capacity Webster Hall. One the one hand, this was great news for the bands: none of them could have ...

Jon Cleary will be returning to the road where he will join Dr. John's Locked Down tour

Hace unas horas saltaba la noticia de que Dr. John se había visto obligado a cancelar su actuación en el festival Cruïlla de Barcelona, debido a temas de salud. La organización, en un acto que les honra y que deberían hacer todos los organizadores de eventos musicales, prometía que cualquiera que quisiera devolver la entrada estaba en su derecho, aunque seguramente sea una mala idea, ya que se ha anunciado que la sustituta de Dr. John no es otra que la rapera M.I.A., que pasará en exclusiva por España con...

In late March and early April, Dr. John was handed over the keys to the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Howard Gilman Opera House, where he presented three consecutive weekends of curated performances entitled Dr. John Insides Out . The middle weekend of the residency, which also included a tribute to Louis Armstrong and a night honoring the music of New Orleans, featured Mac performing songs from his latest and highly recommended studio release Locked Down . Joining the good Doctor for the run was the album’s producer The Black Keys’ Dan Auerbach, as well as a top-notch backing band that ...

By the time I hit day three, one thing had become perfectly clear: people who loved New Orleans Jazz Festival LOVED New Orleans Jazz Festival. Pretty much everyone we had met over the last few days has had a million stories to tell, with their visits to the festival well into the double digits. Not only am I starting to feel like I'm this only one popping their proverbial cherry here but by now also just as clear why people cheep coming back for more. Great food, good vibes, incredible music and though the massive crowds of today’s ...
