Hailed as the only female guitar god by Rolling Stones magazine, Kaki King is once again taking the world by storm with her dazzling dexterity and insane Amadeus guitars.

Having just finished a four-night stint up in  Tokyo's legendary Cotton Club, she plans to expand her self across not one, but two oceans--hitting up the US and Europe for her Fall 2011 Tour. Making stops all over the south lands of the US, then jumping across the pond to Italy, France and Switzerland, you'll be remiss if you don't check her out if you're lucky enough to be in one of her destinations of choice.

     
Kaki King is not just known for her blazing fast finger work on a 5-string, but also her melodic, lyrical stylings.

While she continues to evolve her sound from her previous recordings which showcase her as a monstly solo artist, her latest album, Junior, (out on Rounder Records) is a more edgy and powerful reminder that she is a rock force to not be taken lightly...

If you're feeling left out, dont fret [we'll let her work that], King will be making a special appearence @ NY's 2012 Guitar Festival on Thursday, January 12. She will be performing along with Lee Ronaldo...So don't say you weren't told!

..it's good to be King.

hey has anyone ever been to a concert at the sprint center? If so please let me know i just want to know if section 108 row 11 seats 14 and 15 are good seats or if there to along the side of the stage thank you.

With the success of their most recent 2011 audio endeavor, 'Blood Pressures,' and a most impressive 10 year resume to back them up, Alison Mosshart [aka 'VV'] and Jamie Hince [aka 'Hotel'] have decided the proper way to celebrate a decade of garage-punk, lo-fi brilliance is with an aniniversary show starring themselves at their favorite NY venue, Terminal 5.

The Kills [as they're known] are a pair of humble yet powerful rockers who have created loud, hard hitting anthems such as 'Fuck The People' [Keep On Your Mean Side] and 'Cheep And Cheerful' [Midnight Boom].  The two formed The Kills back in 2000 when British native Jamie met Floridian Alison in a South London hotel. Both of them were so quickly struck by how similar and parellel their lives had been and where they wanted to go that soon after meeting, Alison dispatched herself from the Sunshine State, hopped across the pond and over to Jamie's South London flat to start making the music they always hoped to create.

The rest my friends, is history...

Jamie [who is married to model Kate Moss...seriously], and Alison [who also sings for The Dead Weather with Jack White...seriously] have taken the past few years to reenergize and come back only to blast your earballs once again with their furious, untameable power.

So join The Kills on February 11, 2012 with special guests JEFF The Brotherhood and Hunters as they celebrate 10 years of 'blowing what's left of your right mind....'

Collaborations are the new black. It’s a fact. So when you get mega-talented, multi-artist collaborator MF Doom, Thom Yorke & Johnny Greenwood in the same room, you know things are going to get retarded.

Literally it seems..

'Retarded Fren'  is the newest in a long line of cross-genre mash-ups featuring Doom--who's worked with artists such as Danger Mouse to create the infinitely awesome brainchild: DangerDoom; and Thom & Johnny of Radiohead who have worked with probably everyone at this point, including PJ Harvey, Bjork and Flea.

When asked about working with Thom, Doom simply replied:

"We're working on some duet songs and shit. Just like preliminary shit but we'll probably end up doing a whole record together. He's cool, he got a lot of ill ass ideas and shit, you know..."

Sounds good to me.

To snag your own copy of the Lex Records 10th Anniversary Compilation titled 'Complex' [which we have a feeling it will be] hit up their site. The album drops in January on vinyl.  You can also check out more tracks which will drop every week or so.

Check out the first track 'Retarded Fren' HERE.

If you've had your ear to the ground, then you already know the highly acclaimed rock duo The Black Keys are at it again--with a new album El Camino, which drops Dec. 6th. And if you're like me, then you're equally as excited that the first track 'Lonely Boy' is already up for grabs as is their retro-looking video for it featuring a random lonely man dancing his awkward ass off.

Not much can be said about this one yet, except there is an expectation that the bluesy rockers are going to take a stab at the 70's lo-fi culture. Especially considering this promo video for the Keys feat. funny-man Bob Odenkirk [Mr. Show] selling us old whips with a killer comb-over:

Check out the track-listing below and feel free to draw your own conclusions about the sound we can anticipate. But if  song titles like 'Mind Eraser' or 'Nova Baby' are any indication, we may have found the next theme song to play when running from the cops across state lines.

Track Listing:


1. Lonely Boy
2. Dead And Gone
3. Gold on the Ceiling
4. Little Black Submarines
5. Money Maker
6. Run Right Back
7. Sister
8. Hell Of A Season
9. Stop Stop
10. Nova Baby
11. Mind Eraser

The pre-sale website froze on me mid order and I was unable to pre-order my ticket. If anyone has an extra ticket I would love to be your +1 and will reward you with paying for the ticket and all the beer you can drink! please help!

I just want to say to any other people out there freaking out over not having received a confirmation email yet.....don't stress, they just sent me mine after 24+hours of not receiving one(i would still recommend contacting them until you get an answer, as i did) but they are just super overloaded. it will come eventually :)

does anyone have any insight as to why the general admission tickets for the miami show have row and seat numbers...........in my experience general admission is first come first serve and no seats.....am i wrong???

Good Morning !!!!!! Im so happyyyyyy I got my ticket floor!!!!!!! Yehaaaaaaaaaaa !!!!!!

radiohead music....happy face

radiohead ticket sales.....sad face

Well, tickets disappeared without even making an appearance first!!!! So, I won't be there and it will not be happening for me.

If this is how it will be for the whole of their tour in 2012, then there won't be a ghost of achance of seeing them.  Worse than RH not touring - then at least I wouldn't feel like I'm missing out.

Anyone interested in helping me set something up. Preparty perhaps by the stadium and perhaps somewhere afterward. Trust me, I've seen the last two tours in Cali and I always felt jaded because I was foreign to the area and didn't know anyone or where to go and needed/wanted the night to continue. A lot of us who stayed up WAY late and got the grab would probably mix pretty well and make the show that much better. Let me know anyone in the valley of the sun or who else plans to travel here for the show.

won't be able to make it :( i was trying to buy tickets to the houston show(which i was able to purchase later) but most certainly won't be able to make it to the tampa show, not looking to make any money, would just like to make my money back and hopefully get these to a rh fan who wasn't able to get them on the pre-sale... problem is they are will call :( advice welcome...

First off, wtf? Secondly, what venues?

?

I don't even see the tour date listed on the website?

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Radiohead for the presale opportunity and for coming to Kansas City. I was up every half hour all night because I had heard they would probably go on sale before 9am. At 7 am they went on sale. I kept getting the same thing over and over again when I tried to buy tickets. Which was, there are no items in you basket etc. So for a good ten minutes I just kept trying and eventually got tickets. Good luck to those getting tickets on Saturday. I hope the computers of greedy scalpers crash at once so they don't get any tickets.  See you at the show!

Hi,

I just got an email from the arena about the password for the presale on ticketmaster at 10am tomorrow. I was lucky to get tickets today but for those who did not here you go.

Password: waste

This will be my first show at Scottrade and I really have no idea what the view will be like from my seats.  I'm in section 118, row F, seats 5 and 6.  From what I can gather on their website, it looks as though that section is nearly parallel with the stage.  Is this going to be a problem with seeing the band?  I'm debating on whether I should try for other seats on ticketmaster this weekend.  Thanks for any input!

what exactly do the confirmation emails say???????? i'm still wondering if the order confirmation page that came up after purchasing a ticket will be sufficient for entry to the concert........any thoughts?
