UK songstress Emeli Sande (born Adele Emeli Sande) launched her career as something of a family affair. In 2008, when she was just 21, her sister recorded a video of her playing the piano and singing “Naughty Little Girl,” which they submitted to a BBC Urban music competition. Sande won the competition, but the deal with the connected management company fell through. Her parents then sent BBC Radio 1Xtra a CD of her music,…

The name Icona Pop may not sound familiar, but there’s a pretty good chance you’ve heard their electro-pop hit “I Love It” either while out on a Friday night or sitting in front of the television (possibly on a Friday night, if your clubbing days have come and gone). With its driving beat and infectious hook, it immediately brings to mind all kinds of fist-pumping and drink spilling, but it’s just fun enough to make…

Kaskade's fan base and big beat sound are ideal components of an arena tour, which is something the San Francisco-based house DJ is no stranger to. However, his upcoming “It's You, It's Me Redux” tour is not about “the big feel of huge crowds, anthems and mayhem,” he explains. Details are sparse at the moment, but this will be something of a “boutique tour,” stopping in nine major US cities (including Chicago, New…

Prince fans on the West Coast will have a number of opportunities to see the pop/RB legend perform live this spring. While he will only be appearing in nine cities, each stop will be for two nights, with two performances an evening. Not too shabby for the 55-year-old Grammy award winner, who has been performing since the early '70s, reinventing not only himself numerous times, but the entire genre of pop music. He'll be accompanied…

Irish-American punk rockers the Dropkick Murphys recently announced dates for their 2013 Australian/North American tour, which is surely music to the ears of legions of dedicated fans, except of course the neo-Nazis. While one expects a bit of drunken aggression at a St. Patrick's Day season Dropkick Murphys concert, singer Ken Casey took matters into his own hands, literally, when he spotted a fan giving a Nazi salute on stage…

For a band so keen on the exclamation point, you'd expect a cheerier affair from Canadian post-rockers Godspeed You! Black Emperor. However, where the band is short on feel-good hits, it more than makes up for it with a dramatic, almost operatic feel to their slowly rising crescendos, their harsh found sound sampling and intriguing mix of rock and classical instrumentation. On the heels of their long-awaited 2012 reunion album…
