New Jersey punk band, The Gaslight Anthem, has shared the music video for their song “1,000 Years” off of their latest album, “Get Hurt”, which you can check out below. The video captures the band live in concert at Minneapolis’ legendary First Avenue music club (you know, the one where Purple Rain took place) and features plenty of close-up shots of their enraptured audience. It’s nothing remarkable, but it fits in well with the band’s unflashy, grounded aesthetic.1,000 Years” is the third music video to be released from Get Hurt, following “Rollin’ and Tumblin’” and the album’s title track. Get Hurt was released in Aug. and was the Gaslight Anthem’s fifth studio album overall, their first since 2012’s “Handwritten“. A B-sides compilation, appropriately titled “The B-Sides“, was also released earlier this year.

“I was trying to do something very different with the record,” frontman Brian Fallon said about Get Hurt in an interview with Red Bull, “So I was trying to see what was out there as far as what we hadn’t done before. It wasn’t really like a specific direction I was looking for, the only real direction was what kinds of directions were untraveled by us: humanity, life, daily life…We don’t really think, we just write and it is what it is.”Get Hurt was The Gaslight Anthem’s first album with British producer Mike Crossey, who’s most famous for working with the Arctic Monkeys. “He is open to sound and experimenting and no idea is off the table,” drummer Benny Horowitz said about Crossey. “If you have an idea, he’ll try it, see how it sounds, and maybe even put it in…He uses technology in a very organic way

Death in Texas From post-rock to trip-hop and everything in between, the duo manage to combine their eclectic influences to create a compelling album. Atmospheric and adventurous, the record explores disenchantment, apathy and ambition
this London based Kiwi expats released their first prog-heavy. After relentless gigging in London and the UK, a string of singles were released eventuating into the EP “PLUCK” in 2013. Exhausted with the live scene they retreated into their home studio for a year, writing and producing the music that would become their first album. “Pause Between Breaths” is a clear graduation from their former sound and approach.
Death in Texas say:
“We wanted to create something that was honest, that we could be proud of in a few years time. This album is intended to be experienced as a whole: to sit down, read the lyrics, look at the artwork, be fully immersed as we all used to with albums when we were young. Pause Between Breaths is about stopping the constant buzz and finding a space to be still.”

Nordic Giants  debut album release “Build Seas Dismantle Walls” double album and Cd on Kscope Records  Gloam : Wandering a dark forest, a solitary creature encounters something unknown.

Nordic Giants have spent the last couple of years bringing their bespoke formula of claustrophobic post-rock cinematic sound to audiences across the UK. They have recently toured with Public Service Broadcasting, God Is An Astronaut & 65daysofstatic, this Summer playing festivals including 2000 Trees, Kendal Calling & Y-Not as well as their own headline shows. They have performed in churches, disused Victorian music halls and converted seaside bandstands to enhance the audience experience of their atmospheric soundscapes.
Seeing Nordic Giants has been described as akin to a religious experience. Multi-screen visuals, powerful strobes and exquisitely timed accompaniment create a whole that appears far greater than the sum of its parts. Each performance is accompanied by award-winning short films which coupled with haunting piano, bowed guitar, climactic drums and array of guest vocalists gives the audience a mind-blowing and visceral experience that goes beyond the normal descriptors.

Tail Feather Born pulsing rhythms, and channeling the organic sounds of seventies rock. Tail Feather demonstrate the ability to feed the heart’s primal instinct. Their five part vocal harmonies and addictive hooks have drawn an audience that has been longing for an honest alternative to the anodyne circus of 21st Century pop.
Formed in 2013, the quintet earned universal acclaim for their first releases ‘Spellbinder’ and ‘Knocked Down’, culminating in their support of Texas’ White Denim in May 2014.
Having worked with producer Graham Dominy (Imelda May, Robert Plant, Ray Davies) the band is honing their unique craft; five song writers in collaboration, creating authentic music that draws on the human impulses of love, loss, hope, joy and dying desperation.
Tail Feather take things into altogether more sultry territory, with their bourbon-soaked blues rock bringing to mind the likes of Fleetwood Mac and Lynyrd Skynyrd. As the long-haired lotharios’ stunning five-way harmonies and grooves pulse and smoulder

BRUCE SPRINGSTEEN and the E.STREET BAND – ” Jungleland ” Live Uncasville 18th May 2014

“Jungleland” is an almost ten-minute long closing song on Bruce Springsteen‘s 1975 album Born to Run, and tells a tale of love amid a backdrop of gang violence. It contains one of E Street Band saxophonist Clarence Clemons‘ most recognizable solos. It also features short-time E Streeter Suki Lahav, who performs the delicate 23-note violin introduction to the song, accompanied Roy Bittan on piano in the opening.The song in its lyrics mirrors the pattern of the entire Born to Run album, beginning with a sense of desperate hope that slides slowly into despair and defeat. The song opens with the “Rat” “driving his sleek machine/over the Jersey state line” and meeting up with the “Barefoot Girl,” with whom he “takes a stab at romance and disappears down Flamingo Lane.” The song then begins to portray some of the scenes of the city and gang life in which the “Rat” is involved, with occasional references to the gang’s conflict with the police. The last two stanzas, coming after Clemons’ extended solo, describe the final fall of the “Rat” and the death of both his dreams, which “gun him down” in the “tunnels uptown,” and the love between him and the “Barefoot Girl.” The song ends with a description of the apathy towards the semi-tragic fall of the “Rat” and the lack of impact his death had- “No one watches as the ambulance pulls away/Or as the girl shuts out the bedroom light,” “Man the poets down here don’t write nothin’ at all/They just stand back and let it all be.”

JANIS JOPLIN with the KOZMIC BLUES BAND – ” Work Me Lord ” from Woodstock Festival

On Nov. 16, 1969, Janis Joplin played a concert Tampa, FL. Now some of you may remember the way Rock and Roll stars and their fans were treated by some police in the South (of the U.S.). During Janis’ show, a policemen tried to use a bullhorn to control a crowd that had left its seats and begun to move around. When she saw this see said to the policeman, from the stage, “Don’t fuck with those people! Hey, mister, what’re you so uptight about? Did you buy a $5 ticket?” The policeman then told Janis to tell the crowd that they need to be seated. Of course, Janis told him, “I’m not telling them shit”.

After the show was over, as Janis was leaving the stage, she called the cop a “son of a bitch” and threatening to kick his face in. Of course, the policeman didn’t see any humor in this and arrested in her dressing room on a charge of publicly using “vulgar and indecent language.”

The picture above is Janis’ mug shot from that event. As you can see the time is about 12:15 on Nov. 17. Janis posted a $504 bail and was released. The charges were later dropped.
