The Sasquatch Music Festival has released their 2012 lineup, and as usual, it’s a doozy. Headliners included Beck, Bon Iver, Jack White, Pretty Lights, Tenacious D and The Shins, all amongst a virtual who’s who of the best independent artists playing today. Sasquatch takes place over Memorial Day Weekend (May 25-28, 2012) at the Gorge in George, WA. Check out their official 2012 announcement video: READ MORE

The lineup for Coachella 2012 has been posted! This year’s festival will be bringing headliners The Black Keys, Radiohead, and Dr. Dre and Snoop Dogg to the two-weekend affair down in Indio, CA. Other LMB favorites on the lineup are Refused, M83, Flying Lotus, SBTRKT, Bon Iver, Girl Talk, DJ Shadow, and the newly-announced reunion by At The Drive-In.
Epic.
Last night (as expected), The Shins came to Late Night with Jimmy Fallon and covered Pink Floyd “Breathe” from Dark Side of the Moon. The band has actually covered this a few times before, and I’d definitely say this version nails it.

Tonight is a great night of network TV live music if you’re a Pink Floyd fan. The Shins are kicking off Pink Floyd week on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon with a performance of “Breathe” from Dark Side of the Moon, and the rest of the lineup for the week is absolutely incredible. READ MORE
Broken Bells, that new band fronted by James Mercer of The Shins and Danger Mouse of everything cool released in new music over the past few years, just announced their first tour following up their highly successful introduction down at SXSW this year. I really only caught this video from Spinner but it was enough for me. I immediately went out and got their eponymous release and it’s been on steady rotation ever since. I’d highly recommend it.
Watch this video which features the first track from the album, and read on for the dates. READ MORE
Remember Radiohead’s “From the Basement” videos?
It turns out those weren’t the only videos being captured by Nigel Godrich and crew. I’m not sure exactly when this new site launched, but FromtheBasement.tv is now a virtual treasure trove of amazing live (in studio) performances by a veritable who’s who of amazing contemporary bands and artists.
There’s simply so much good video on this site and it’s all high-quality. Here are just a few choice selections:
Andrew Bird | Beck | Cold War Kids | The Fleet Foxes | Gnarls Barkley | Jamie Lidell | My Morning Jacket | The Raconteurs | Radiohead | Sonic Youth | The Shins | White Denim
Thanks to Bob Lefsetz for the tip!
if you aren’t already, start listening to the shins. this four piece, from albuquerque, nm, has sweet acoustic guitars, unique vocals, and heartfelt steel pedal guitar riffs. check out the video of half of the shins playing in their basement. it is a rare treat to see a group perform as well live, as they do on studio releases. have fun. catch them in long beach, ca, at all tomorrow’s parties in november.
