machines for nothing

Finally! Pendulum has announced a full US tour of the live band – not a DJ set. Anyone who has been following Pendulum (Live) as of late knows that this is super exciting news.

If you’re not familiar with Pendulum’s new album, In Silico, I strongly suggest you give it a listen. The album’s first singles [ Propane Nightmares, Granite, and The Other Side ] are all hits for sure.

Sign up for Pendulum’s mailing list and receive a FREE download of Propane Nightmares (Celldweller Remix). This is my favorite mix of the choon by far, so definitely check it out.

On June 6th, the super Indian babe M.I.A. will be playing at McCarren Park Pool, accompanied by Toronto electronica band Holy Fuck.

I’m super excited because I’m a huge M.I.A. fan, but have yet to see her live. If you’re not familiar with her music, you should check out her (omg) hit single, “Paper Planes.” If that floats your boat, then why not give her two albums a listen: “Kala” (2007) & “Arular” (2005). I enjoy both of them.

Tickets cost $37.50, and go on sale March 29, 2008 at 11am.

edit: I lied. Go get your presales now!

If you weren’t able to grab tickets to Hot Chip’s show on April 12th at Terminal 5, then tomorrow is your lucky day.

They’ve added another NYC show on April 8th at the Music Hall of Williamsburg. Pre-sale tickets go on sale tomorrow, March 21st, at noon for $35 (the password is madeinbrooklyn).

I’m going to both shows. I mean, how can I not… the Williamsburg show is essentially just down the street!
