That's the buzz!

Cover of the Week

This week's cover was suggested by my friend, Spencer. It's The Fray doing "Heartless" by Kayne West. It's pretty rad.

FALL OUT BOY THIS SATURDAY IN DC!!

Fall Out Boy is returning to the DC/Md/Va area THIS Saturday. They're bringing along female led pop-punk up and comers, Hey Monday. Oh... AND 50 Cent has been added to this tour top as well. This is a show NOT TO BE MISSED! Get your tickets NOW @ http://www.930.com

Short Film

OK. So films are not something we usually cover... but this short film I found via NotCot really impressed me... mostly because it's comprised of 3 things I love 1. music 2. photography 3. Rome.

It's called Notte Sento. It was funded by the Seagate Creative Fund and is a short film shot in Rome, Italy with a Canon EOS 30D. Wait, Amy, isn't a 30D a DSLR camera? Yes, yes it is. The whole video is made up of over 4,500 photographs. That's right, still photos. I think it's not only a brilliant story, but a creative piece in general.

Enjoy.

Where Were We Last Night?

Barricade Buzz was at Katy Perry @ the 9:30 Club. Duh.
There was a large pussy.. cat involved in the evening, which we really don't want to discuss at the moment.

BUT who we do want to discuss is the opener, The Daylights. We were shockingly impressed. They feature the delightful vocals of Ran and Ricky Jackson (they're twins!) and Svend Lerche.

They remind us of one of our personal favorite bands, Travis, so fans of them are definitely going to want to check out these guys with their refreshingly clean indie-rock sound. Alright, enough reading this, check out their stuff on MySpace.

"Rogue Machine" and "Slow Down" are two of our favorites.

Yo!

Come As You Are

15 years ago today, music lost one of its legends. On April 8, 1994, lead singer of Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, was found dead. A memorial show will be held Friday in Seattle, WA featuring Nirvana cover band, Nevermind. Proceeds from the event will go to the Kurt Cobain Memorial Fund to help build a youth center and memorial park in Cobain's hometown of Aberdeen.

Rome From Home

As you may have heard by now, L'Aquila, Italy recently suffered a devastating earthquake. Over 200 people are reported dead and more than 10,000 are now without homes. Rome From Home, a music charity project originating from Rome, Italy, is working to put together a show to raise money for the displaced families. The details of this event are soon to come.

For those of you who will not be able to attend the show in Rome, we encourage you to do your part and donate to the American Red Cross International Response Fund in support of their relief efforts in Italy.
