Tuesday, May 17th, 2011

I am a giant fan of Austin, TX especially after this year's phenomenal SXSW festival. The city breathes music and is the perfect place to catch a show. Which is why I'm this close to buying a plane ticket and heading back down there for Austin City Limits.
It runs from September 14-16 and the headliners include Arcade Fire, Coldplay, My Morning Jacket, Stevie Wonder and Kanye West. On top of that, artists like Fleet Foxes, TV on the Radio, Chromeo,… Read More

Foo Fighters announce tour with Rise Against

Monday, May 16th, 2011

Foo Fighters kick off a tour with Motorhead tomorrow in Tulsa, OK but I won't get to go to those shows since they're in places I'll never visit like Arkansas, Montana and Alabama.

The Foos, along with opening bands Rise Against and Mariachi El Bronx, will start the tour on September 14th in St. Paul, MN and will end on September 26th in East… Read More
