The hipster-approved, Berlin-based thumping house producer Jesse Rose plays an event sponsored by — who else? — Scion. The real star, here, though is Rose’s label, Made to Play. Each of the artists playing tonight (with the exception of local hero Induce) have put out tracks with the imprint, and…

Still, Bluetech is fiercely experimental, citing the likes of Brian Eno, the Orb, and even Erik Satie as influences. He performs…
Brooklyn’s Telepathe has been creating a stir for a little over a year now. Made up of Melissa Livaudais and Busy Gangnes, the duo’s synth-heavy, atmospheric pop is reminiscent of TV on the Radio, just really girly and not as full-sounding. (TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek produced Dance Mother,…
Art Basel week is the time of surreal collaborations and appearances, so when New York mag reported a supposed “Sex Pistols concert on the beach,” it seemed plausible. Still, they only got it 25 percent right. One Pistol will, indeed, be performing, at the very swish new Opium Group poolside…

You can’t buy it anymore, so don’t even bother trying. Not only has EMI Records prevented it from being officially released to the public, but a site-specific offering of book and (blank) CD-R sold out before the grouchy label heads could even sic their mouthpieces on the culprits. And while…
Is it a documentary? A mockumentary? Or propaganda sent out by John Tesh? (He’s an alien, you know.) Buzz has been swirling around “I’m Gonna Do It Until the Day I Die,” (made by West Palm Beach’s Majic Robot Films), which details the tragic disappearance of the Detroit band MOG…

More often than not, Apple catches lightning in a bottle with the songs and they become fantastic vehicles for Apple’s newest technology. Brooklyn-by-way-of-Boulder electronic pop trio Chairlift is the outright epitome of iPod fame. The band’s song “Bruises” landed in the aforementioned commercials, and the rest was history. Tonight, they…

Love” Dutton — hitting the national music scene like a fourth Beastie Boy crossed with splashes of Beck and Bob Dylan — created the song “Cold Beverage” with his two-man backing band, Special Sauce. The year was 1994, the shambling song came…

The Rolling StonesGet Yer Ya-Ya’s Out! 40th Anniversary Edition (ABKCO)In rock and roll, 1969 was perhaps the most historic year of the 20th Century. Of course both The Isle of Wight and Woodstock went down that year. Black Sabbath and The Doobie Brothers were formed. And, yes, the Beatles broke…
Yes, that’s “Stewie” as in the misanthropic infant star of The Family Guy. And while this event’s connection to “art” is rather tenuous, who among our very coveted young demographic doesn’t like The Family Guy? So stay with me here while I explain the concept of this Wednesday night party…
