The pictures above are the ones I took when I saw them at Coachella 2011. Before I even start I just want to say during their set at Coachella it was one of those perfect moments, the sun was setting and they were performing and the temperature was starting to get cooler. One of my favorite sets this year at Coachella. Foster the People are a indie/pop style of music. Originally form Los Angeles, California they formed when the members were all in their mid-twenties. Their new album Torches is going to be the soundtrack to my summer. Songs like "Pumped Up Kicks", "Helena Beat", and "Waste" will be the soundtrack to those long days at the beach and the BBQ parties at night.

Here is another great song "Houdini"

Talk about rock. Wolfmother is my modern day rock vibe music. Originally from Australia, they were formed in 2000. However the band debuted self-titled album in 2005 that caught attention. I discovered them out for myself back in 2009 with their song "Women" which ended up winning a Grammy Award, for Best Hard rock Performance, in 2007. I had a chance to see them at the HOB in Anaheim earlier this year but didn't have the money to get a ticket unfortunately. The next time they come in the L.A. area I will not hesitate to buy tickets, I am obsessed with their music.

Kings of Leon Headlining Slane Castle

Kings of Leon are going to perform at Slane Castle in Ireland; May 28, 2011. Anyone that is going or has been knows of what an epic concert this will be. The concert held most years since 1981 at the Slane Castle in Slane Village. (Hence the name of the concert). This location is so perfect because with the hills of Ireland & the Stage at the bottom this creates a natural amphitheatre. This concert has the perfect surrounding with the rolling hills and the River Boyne it creates a perfect setting for an amazing concert. Although amazing it can be dangerous, some have died while trying to swim across the river to get free entrance to the concert. I recommend to just buy your ticket.

Bands that have played past shows:

1980's - The Rolling Stones, U2, Bob Dylan, Bruce Springsteen, Queen, David Bowie, Eurythmics, Thin Lizzy, and Van Morrison.

The Seven - MTV Shows

Bloody Beetroots - Death Crew 77

BLOODY BEETROOTS ||  TWITTER ||  FACEBOOK

Bloody Beetroots - Death Crew 77 are probably one of my favorite electronic tunes! I took these pictures from when they performed at Coachella 2011. They were formed back in 2006 by producer Sir Bob Cornelius, sound familiar? They have a song called Cornelius which was in the Top 100 International iTunes downloads. What makes them so unique is their mystery of identity, during their performances they wear black Venom masks that cover their face. In 2009 I also saw them perform with Steve Aoki at Coachella Valley Music & Arts Festival. I would definitely go see them again, with out a doubt. I feel that I would want to see them at a smaller venue, I think that would give an even better show.

Check out this made by imetrages and directed by Etienne Perrin. This video makes me want to go to another Bloody Beetroots show !!

Dr. Dog

DR. DOG ||  FACEBOOK ||  TWITTER || MYSPACE

Another band I have yet to see live, although it is on my to-do! Dr. Dog is a indie/psychedelic rock band from Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I think why I am so attracted to their music is all the different instruments they corporate in their songs. The members use bass, guitar, rhythm guitar, keyboard, drums, and a singer. Some other songs they have more of variety of instruments as well. My favorite song is Heart It Races (which is actually a cover from Architecture in Helsinki), it catches my attention every time it plays in my car. I will be keeping my eyes open for a gig this summer! Jazzy

Listen to Heart it Races!

Bombay Bicycle Club

Great sounding folk/indie band from London. Back in 2006 they were entered in "Road to V" a competition by Channel 4. BBC won the competition and were asked to play the opening performance in V Festival. I have yet to hear any tours in the US for the past couple of years so I am keeping my hopes up and fingers crossed that they jump the pound and tour in the US. Some great songs by BBC are "Always Like This", "Cancel on Me", and "Sixteen". I think all their songs are great but those three are my absolute favorite.

Paolo Nutini

PAOLO NUTINI ||  FACEBOOK ||  TWITTER ||  YOUTUBE ||  MYSPACE

24 year old Scottish Singer, songwriter. Paolo Nutini sounds to good to be true, when ever his songs come on my ipod I lose train of thought. He released These Streets back in 2006 and the one song that I think EVERYONE knows (if you don't then your living under a rock) is "New Shoes". His other famous songs include "Last Request", "Jenny Don't Be Hasty", personally I think all of his songs are amazing. Since then he has released another album Sunny Side Up, and he has been touring and performing at a handful of festivals. My idea is to listen to his tunes when looking at a great view (I know it sounds odd) but his music is easy going and grand at the same time. I hope he has a tour in the US soon, I would love to go to a gig. He is one of my favorite artists.
