Now as for Filter...


You can here the radio show they did March 7: http://www.rocklineradio.com/replay/replay.php


I've got a few vids for ya from their recent performances in Arizona and Texas. Be sure to watch the Texas one till the end. Apparently there were massive technical difficulties so Filter only got to perform 4 songs and got a bit wild and crazy hehe.


AND some tour dates, a few are not confirmed yet, so be sure to verify and keep an eye on officialfilter.com


I am personally hoping for more east coast dates, but if not, I'm going to Jersey baby!


I got these from the wonderful ladies at Filter Fans Unite

SXSW Review with photos!








On St. Patty's Day, I had the pleasure of catching a rare performance by our semi-retired Fredericksburg legends, Elephant Boy. Here are a few vids I got of the show. The sound quality sucks but you can still get a feel for their famous funk.








Also, Mindless Faith has a few shows coming up! Check 'em out!

Donde esta la musica?! A compilation of updates...

My blog has been kind of dormant lately and one main reason is my computer has been having issues. Thanks to my brother, it is running much more efficiently right now. I'm hoping it stays that way now! So let me throw together a little bloggy blog here about some music stuff in my world recently...look, listen, love!


FILTER


First of all, a little reminder that Filter will be on http://www.rocklineradio.com/ tomorrow night! Filter will be the featured guests on the nationally syndicated radio show ROCKLINE with host Bob Coburn on Monday March 7th, 2011 at 8:30pm PT / 11:30pm ET. Fans are encouraged to call to speak with Filter toll free at 1-800-344-ROCK (7625).


There have been some tour dates for Filter announced in Europe. Check out the blog at Filter Fans Unite for details! http://filterfansunite.blogspot.com/2011/02/filter-tour-dates-2011.html

MUMFORD AND SONS

I was very excited that Mumford and Sons got nominated for a grammy. Unfortunately they did not win Best New Artist. But their performance hopefully gained them some new fans! 


MOBY

Moby has a new album coming out and you can download 3 new songs for free here: http://www.moby.com/
I've been a Moby fan for quite some time and saw him in concert around 2001. 




MINDLESS FAITH

I kind of randomly came across this band from Baltimore/DC about a week ago and was pretty blown away by them. They've been around for quite awhile and toured The Netherlands and such. I got to see them perform in Baltimore and they have another show coming up on March 31 in Richmond. They also played in LA this weekend and have an NYC date next weekend I believe. 

I bought their 3 CDs from their website and you can get more info about them here: http://mindlessfaith.com

Oh and a side note, the guys are really cool in person and I think the guitarist looks like Richard Patrick haha. 






ELEPHANT BOY

Last but not least, our local semi-retired best band from Fredericksburg is supposed to be performing live at Hackers N Duffers on St. Patrick's Day! It's on Rt. 3 near Sakura's.
