The Chemical Brothers US Tour
The Chemical Brothers are back with their last work “Further”. The amazing visuals are made by Adam Smith aka Flat Nose George and Marcus Lyall. You might know Adam for being the director of television drama Skins for Channel 4. Among his work you’ll also find a fictionalised documentary for Warp Films.
Given the visuals we’ve seen we can’t wait to the realease of their new album the upcoming 22nd of June. We haven’t heard it yet but in NPR says: “The album opens with dissonant radio feedback set against a candied voice that sings, “Your love keeps lifting me,” and then melds into the second track before giving way to an ominous house beat. This opening sequence lays the groundwork for a psychedelic foray into the crevices of Big Beat and dance. Tracks like “Another World” rely heavily on overarching sweeps of sound, whereas “Horse Power” employs pointed repetition and sinister samples for an entirely different effect”
Fortunately we’ll be enyoing them live as they’ll be playing this weekend at Sonar in Barcelona and you’ll find their announced dates at 5gig as well as the tickets. You’ll find their announced dates in Oakland, Chicago, or L.A. as well as tickets at 5gig. Their last date announced so far is the one the 4th of september at Electric Zoo Festival in New York.
The Go-Go’s to Say Goodbye
The 27th of April, via PR The Go-Go’s announced “Happily Ever After – The Farewell Tour”.
Indeed is a sad news, after 30 years together they will end their music career with Happily Ever After tour. It will kick off July 7, 2010 at Lilith Fair in San Diego, wraps up July 27 in Austin, and will include a live television performance on Good Morning America, July 16 in New York City.
It’s interesting because they made history as the first all woman band that both wrote their own songs and played their own instruments to top the Billboard album charts. At the same time they’ve have sold more than seven million albums.
In their final tour you’ll find as they say: “the Go-Go’s live show continues to deliver every bit of the raw energy of their now-legendary punk beginnings, tempered with the wisdom of three decades of pop perfection. Don’t miss them on this farewell tour as they celebrate with, and say goodbye to, their devoted fans, before the Go-Go’s head into the happily ever after”
You can check all their dates of their “Happily Ever After – The Farewell Tour” and tickets at 5gig.com

Youtube launches Musicians Wanted
This program, “Musicians wanted” see the light in a way to solve the problems with the labels that in the past remove most of the videos that infringe copyrights. “Musicians wanted” will allow bands and musicians to get paid when their videos are played, even when they’re embedded on other sites.
Nowadays is US only but we hope that goes global soon. Besides you have to be accepted in the program not everybody can get in. But at least, it only includes indie music makers because Youtube has already a premium program called Vevo which most of the videos are property of big labels such as EMI, Sony Music Entertainment and Universal Music Group among others. Unfortunately is not available in all countries yet.
For those interested in music, last january Youtube also launched a version of Musician Wanted but in this case focus in filmmakers, it’s called Filmmakers Wanted. But if you’re interested in the music program you better pay attention to Pomplamoose the band that will guide you through “Musicians wanted” as well ad the official blog of Youtube.
