Say it ain't so...

Reports from Bonaroo this weekend claim that M.I.A. has preformed her last concert. I can't believe this for two reasons. 1) She he had a great year but not enough to retire on. I know that she is trying to get into fashion and all but still... 2) Why would you play your last gig in the woods of Tennessee. Why not go out like Jay-z at Madison Square Gardens or a venue back in England/Shirlanka? Just doesn't make sense. Why would you give this up....

It's been almost 3 weeks and...

Hot Chip ticket are still on sale for their upcomming show at the Variety Playhouse in Atlanta. We are lucky enough for them to come back on October 9th. I still can't believe that the show isn't sold out. This interview got me thinking last night about how great they are as musicians.



Here's some clips from last years show if you aren't convinced yet.

Next Friday (JUNE 13th) before Ladytron hits the stage you will be puzzled. I didn't know what to think the first time I heard them. If you are fortunate to go, there will be an act that will blend rock, punk, funk, soul, house, and elctro. No one I have heard makes every genra their own in such a creative, carefree, and fun manner. DataRock will be touring this year with Ladytron all the way from Bergen, Norway.



I am going to rely on their Bio from myspace to help explain:
DIY punk rockers by nature, but heavily influenced by the distinctive style and stage presence of groups like Talking Heads and Devo, the boys decided to ditch the thrash guitars in favor of the simple yet versatile Casio MT-64 keyboard and a Roland Groovebox. Toss in matching red track suits, a penchant for Transformers and John Hughes flicks, and two pairs of vintage Porsche wraparound sunglasses and you've got a little something called DATAROCK.



Check out a video or two and show up to the Variety Playhouse on the Friday. Not only is it a cheap show ($25 with Service Charge if bought directly from Variety Playhouse) and a rare chance to witness two unbelievable european acts. I haven't even mention Ladytron but just a sentence or two. I have been captivated by them since early 2000. They definatly be the shining main course but Datarock wil be the desert topping...
