Muse have a new music video

Muse have a new music video for their current single called "Follow Me". Song obviously comes from their latest effort. The music video is typical live video capturing band performing live during their current tour. Sound is not live though. But it is entertaining music video to watch and it makes you really wanna see this band live. Check the video below.

Since Muse released their very anticipated sixth studio record entitled The 2n Law, they've been pretty busy touring. They've been touring in Europe only so far. However, they have 5 more EU dates to go (December 13 - Riga, Latvia; December 15 - Hamburg, Germany; December 17 - Amsterdam, Netherlands; December 18 - Antwerp, Belgium and December 19 - Strasbourg, France) and after that, they're heading to Japan where they are playing two arena shows at Saitama Super Arena (January 11 & 12).

Their recently extended North American tour kicks off on January 23 in San Diego, California and ends on April 26 in  Quebec City, Quebec. After that, they're heading back to the old continent before their appearance at Rio De Janeiro's Rock in Rio festival. It is expected that more South American tour dates are yet to be announced. To check out all their tour dates, visit their website.

What does this all mean? Only one thing - now is the best time to go and see this awesome band live. I mean, their shows are just incredible because they are not just about the music. I've seen them live during their Resistance tour. However, it was only festival appearance, but I can confirm that this band is really currently the best live rock band in the entire world.

The XX announce Night + Day series of gigs

British band The XX, which released new album this year entitled Coexist, announced first three gigs of their Night + Day series of gigs. It is a series of tour dates that will take place at really unusual places. Also, these shows won't be usual concerts, but mini festivals.

The band said about their plans following:

"Night + Day is a series of events, curated by us, to start in the summer of 2013. We searched high and low for unique and beautiful locations to stage these shows and picked the artists that we most respect and admire to join us. The events will run from early afternoon, with some of our favourite music (and food) to take you from day into night."

So far, three dates has been announced, but it is expected that more dates will be added. First, the band will perform at waterfront park in Portugal that has 4.7 hectares of gardens, right on the edge of Lisbon's waterfront Jardim da Torres de Belëm.

Then, the band will perform at an abandoned Berlin theme park with rusty roller coasters, broken rides, crumbling dinosaurs and a 45m ferris wheel.

Finally, The XX will come back to their home city London. They'll perform at Osterley Park & House, which is one of the last surviving country estates in London. It is set to be their biggest headline show to date with capacity of 10,000.

I really like this idea and I am sure that these gigs will be unforgettable for both, the band as well as fans.

Night + Day tour dates:

May 5 - b]Jardim da Torres de Belëm, Lisbon
May 18 - Spreepark, Berlin
June 23 - Osterley Park & House, London

Watch Metric perform at Radio City Music Hall

This Canadian indie rock band, which has a great singer Emily Haines, has been pretty busy touring since release of their fifth studio album entitled Synthetica in Juny.

To see all their scheduled tour dates, visit their website.

They also recently performed at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. Fuse was kind enough and uploaded five songs from this show on their YouTube channel. You can now watch all of them at the bottom of the post. As usually, Metric put out an awesome performance.

List of uploaded tracks:

"Synthetica"
"Artificial Nocturne"

Song of the day: Grizzly Bear - "Yet Again"

Grizzly Bear is an American band, which mixes mostly folk and rock music with elements of psychedelic music. This four-piece band from Brooklyn, New York has been on the scene since 2002. Since then, they've released 4 studio album.

The last one entitled Shields was released just recently - on September 18. The album got actually really positive reviews. I also like the album quite a lot.

The band is currently on the tour in support of their latest effort. They just recently finished tour throughout the North America and now they are in the UK. Rest of the Europe and Australia are next. To see all their tour dates, visit their website.

Yesterday, they found some time off and stopped by at BBC studios where they performed for Later... with Jools Holland. They performed "Yet Again", which is obviously track (and also second single) from Shields. Check the performance below.

The Rolling Stones finally confirmed 50th anniversary concerts

You all probably know that legendary band The Rolling Stones is celebrating their 50th anniversary as a band this year. For this occasion, they released book, documentary, changed their logo and will also release two new songs (one of them called "Doom and Gloom" is already out), which will be featured on new compilation entitled Grrr! (it is out on November 12).

However, many people were waiting for some live shows. They have been previously rumoured, but no official announcements were made. Until yesterday.

They have finally confirmed four 50th anniversary celebration shows. The band will perform on November 25 and 29 at London's O2 Arena and on December 13 and 15 at Newark's Prudential Center.

Mick Jagger said about the chosen places of shows:

"Everybody loves a celebration, and London and New York are two good places to do it in!"

Guitarist Keith Richards added:

"Sorry to keep you all hanging around but the waiting is over. I’ve always said the best place for rock and roll is on the stage and the same is true for the Stones. I’m here with Mick, Charlie and Ronnie and everything is rocking. See you very soon!"

For ticket information, visit band's website.

Also, check out the video of the band officially announcing the tour dates:

Watch new music video from The Vaccines

British The Vaccines are releasing third single entitled "I Always Knew" from their recent Come of Age album on November 11. For this occasion, yesterday they released music video for this track. It features singer Justin Young and some random girl on roller coaster having some fun together. Check it out at the bottom of the post.

The band will also go on extensive tour throughout Europe, South America, Australia and USA starting on October 14 in Corona Capital, Mexico. Big tour will end on May 2 in London's O2 Arena. It will be their biggest headline show to date. To see all their tour dates, visit their website.

Song of the day: Tomahawk - "Stone Letter"

Mike Patton was pretty busy touring with his main band Faith No More during late June and early July of this year. They scheduled 9 shows throughout the Europe. Although one of the shows they were supposed to play at Rock for People festival, Czech republic, didn't happen because of a storm.

Anyway, many fans, including me, actually hoped we could get some new music from this legendary band. Their last album to date entitled Album of the Year came out in 1997. That means, they haven't put out any new music in long 15 years. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem it will happen any time soon.

Mike Patton's side band Tomahawk, which he formed with ex-The Jesus Lizard guitar player Duane Denison, released new track and is about to release a new album in early 2013.

First new album in six years is called Oddfellows and will be out on January 29 via Ipecac Recordings. First track revealed form this album is called "Stone Letter" and you can listen to it here (via Spin).

The band also announced several tour dates throughout North America, Australia and South America including Australia’s Soundwave and both Latin American installments of Lollapalooza. Check them out below.

Watch Muse perform at SNL

Muse finally officially released their very anticipated new album entitled The 2nd Law last week (on October 2 in US and on September 28 in most of the world). However, it hasn't got too good reviews. Many people actually think that they copied too much of their sound on this record. In fact, I even think it is true, but I don't think it is that bad. I feel that they added their typical elements to this album, which made all the tracks great. I really enjoy listening to it even though it is not as original as it could be.

The band is obviously promoting their latest effort. Later this month, they will start their tour throughout the Europe. The european part of the tour will kick off on October 16 in Montpellier, France and will end on December 6 in Stockholm, Sweden. Today, they also announced North American tour dates, which will start on January 26 in San Diego, CA. It will be over on April 26 in Quebec, Canada. To see all their tour dates, visit their website. But if you plan to attend any of these shows, be quick because tickets actually sale out pretty quick.

Past weekend, they also appeared on Saturday Night Live show, which was hosted by Daniel Craig. They performed two tracks from The 2nd Law - "Madness" and "Panic Station". Check out both performances below.

Watch uncensored video for Green Day's "Oh Love"

Green Day is about to release first album of their upcoming album trilogy ;Uno! ;Dos! ;Tre! next week (September 25). They are currently streaming this album via their Facebook page.

Anyway, if you really wanna listen to it ahead of its release, just google it and you'll definitely find some torrent site where you can download it.

Yesterday, Green Day also debuted uncensored version of their music video for track "Oh Love". It features uncut footage with topless girls. It is pretty cool. To see the video, visit Playboy website.
