TV on the Radio

I can guarantee one thing: Sasquatch will not pull a Langerado. A handful of big names overlap with Bonnaroo, but that’s not a bad thing considering how far apart they are from each other: Sasquatch is in Washington state and Bonnaroo (lineup) is in Tennessee. Both still have more artists to add, but already it [...]

The king of summer festivals is back on the beautiful 700-acre Manchester farm in June (11th-14th), and the announcement of (some of) the performers came this morning. The lineup is packed full of big names and great accompanying artists. Metallica and Kanye are gone this year (YES!), and Phish is bringing back Bonnaroo as a [...]

After some delay, the lineup for the huge spring Cali festival is up. Tickets are on sale at coachella.com: 3-day passes are $270, 1-day passes are $100.

None of these picks are mind-blowing if you’ve been keeping up with their record reviews over the past year, so as far as consistency goes, and as a whole, they do a decent job. But a handful of picks seem kinda crazy to me: New Age at #3 (it’s good but not that good), Cut [...]

TV On The Radio frontman Tunde Adebimpe has more coming amidst his band’s Dear Science tour and those surprising supergroup plans. Fake Male Voice, Tunde’s just-announced solo project is coming your way December 23 in the form of a 7″/DVD combo. The 7″ picture disc has two tracks, “Cou Cou Sous Les Nuages” and “OMG!!!FMV!!!”, [...]

Prefuse 73 takes on of the most promoted tracks on Dear Science, and definitely gets away with it, despite completely revamping it’s pace. The track comes on the deluxe edition of the CD, but, as always, you can get it for free! on the intrawebz.

Tunde Adebimpe of TV On The Radio, Adam “Doseone” Drucker of Subtle, and Mike Patton of Faith No More/Peeping Tom/Tomahawk have some crazy news to deliver: they are all making music together! We have no idea where this project will go, considering the unique vocal styles of all three, but we do know “[the] project…will [...]

We just showed you the video for “Golden Age” earlier this week, and yes, so soon, the video for “Dancing Choose” is here. Kyp and Tunde hop into the main character’s monochrome world, helping him go from “drowning butterflies” to “breeding” them. UPDATE (1:15pm): TVOTR played “Dancing Choose” last night on David Letterman, here’s the [...]

Dear Science comes out tomorrow, but here’s an early treat. “Golden Age” has been out for a couple weeks now, but the video is interesting and worth a watch for TVOTR fans.  The band is set atop one of many cloud-reaching plateaus, along with 5 cops on another. After a few gifts from the heavens and [...]

Building up some momentum for their September 23 release of Dear Science, TVOTR now has “Dancing Choose” streaming at MOG.com (notice the pun). The song has a good steady build up with saxophones, horns, all the bells & whistles you’re used to, but it ends on a really.. weird note. It just stops. But don’t [...]
