SXSW has been unsurprisingly killing it in the music game recently. We recently posted about Damon Albarn, best known as the visionary behind the multi-platinum Grammy Award winning virtual band Gorillaz, and his first ever live performance of “Clint Eastwood” with fellow  Gorillaz members Del the Funkee Homosapien and Dan the Automator, and special guest Snoop Dogg ... <a title="Future Islands- Baltimore Band Wins SXSW Prize | Listen to Unreleased Album Here" class="read-more" href="https://www.tickpick.com/blog/future-islands-baltimore-band-wins-sxsw-prize-listen-to-unreleased-album-here/" aria-label="Read more about Future Islands- Baltimore Band Wins SXSW Prize | Listen to Unreleased Album Here">Read more</a>

Electronic music producer and mastermind Skrillex has been mysteriously absent from the EDM scene this past year, but that doesn’t mean he hasn’t been hard at work. Earlier this week, Skrillex announced his upcoming tour, curiously named “The Mothership Tour”. But it gets weirder (and better). This past Friday, Skrillex released an app called “Alien ... <a title="Skrillex Surprise Album Release, App, and “Mothership” Tour" class="read-more" href="https://www.tickpick.com/blog/skrillex-surprise-album-release-app-and-mothership-tour/" aria-label="Read more about Skrillex Surprise Album Release, App, and “Mothership” Tour">Read more</a>

I think we can all agree that there’s something to be said for a band that sounds different. The Pluto Moons  are our latest pick for Band To Watch, but this time we actually mean the watch part. Watch their new video “stripped down naked in bushwick” below. Don’t worry; they’re not really naked.

Darkside, a collaboration of electronic musician Nicolas Jaar and Brooklyn instrumentalist Dave Harrington, summoned a packed house at Terminal 5 last month, and for good reason.

If you read last week’s post about the 13 coolest must-see NYC concerts in the first half of March, 2014, you may have noticed a name that sounded unfamiliar: Jungle. This eerie, yet groovy London-local band has upheld quite the mysterious identity despite their growing and fervent fanbase, made possible by the production of two share-friendly and ... <a title="New Band To Watch: Jungle, Music’s Latest Mystery" class="read-more" href="https://www.tickpick.com/blog/new-band-to-watch-jungle-musics-latest-mystery/" aria-label="Read more about New Band To Watch: Jungle, Music’s Latest Mystery">Read more</a>

Last night, TMZ stalked John Oates in Nashville long enough for him to blurt out a few little-known facts. Before hightailing it out of the camera’s view as most sane people would do around TMZ, Oates told reporters that the Hall & Oates 1977 hit, “Rich Girl” was actually about a man. ... <a title="Hall & Oates’ “Rich Girl” Was A Dude" class="read-more" href="https://www.tickpick.com/blog/hall-oates-rich-girl-was-a-dude/" aria-label="Read more about Hall & Oates’ “Rich Girl” Was A Dude">Read more</a>

Alright alright alright so you probably know by now that the Bonnaroo lineup will be releasing tonight.

There are only three things I can say with assurance about the humble, and loath-to-talk-about-himself George Strait. He’s a damn good singer, belting old-style (sad to think of it as old-style, but with some pop-country nowadays, I guess it has become that) tunes like nobody’s business. He knows how to work a stage.
