Red Hot Chili Peppers/ The Mars Volta : Glendale Arena, Glendale, AZ 8/21/2006

There are few bands that can throw a full-on arena spectacle, charge a days paycheck amount for a ticket and leave their fans begging for more. Count U2, Green Day, Radiohead, The Beastie Boys and The Rolling Stones amongst those heavyweights. The Red Hot Chili Peppers who tour once every three or four years, have the big budget to throw a hockey shed spectacle amongst the best of the pre-mentioned acts. Their show during early stages of the Stadium Arcadium at the Glendale Arena, proved this Southern California four piece have continually expaned their sound from their young cock sock days.

Juana Molina & Adem Launch North American Tour

Argentinean singer/songwriter Juana Molina is beloved for her visionary artistry, drawling a line between traditional and modern music, through an electro-acoustic hybrid that finds inspiration in nature. Juana breaks away from the traditional Latin sound by eschewing convention and opting for a more experimental sound and outlook. Ms. Molina’s mesmerizing performances add a visual element to her “process”-real-time compositions unfold live as she layers and loops acoustic guitars, traditional percussion touches, electronic textures and her disarming vocals.

In support of her latest album, Molina has been globe-trekking, touring Japan, S. America and, currently, the UK. For her recent N. American jaunt, she joined Swedish crooner, Jose Gonzalez and label-mates, Psapp for a sold-out run. She’s bringing her impressive live show back to the states with label-mate Adem, for an evening of music not to be missed.

ADEM
London-based singer/folktronic songwriter Adem will release his sophomore album, Love and Other Planets, on September 26th on Domino Recordings. Prior to launching a solo career, Adem Ilhan was a member of Fridge alongside Sam Jeffers and Four Tet’s Kieran Hebdan. When that group went on hiatus, Adem released his celebrated debut, Homesongs, in 2004. Shortly thereafter, he hit the road in the U.S. with Badly Drawn Boy (with whom Fridge have both toured and served as the backing band) and Explosions In The Sky.
