Last year English titanic rockers NOTHING BUT THIEVES
released their 4th LP Dead Club City and went on tour.
They also played Pinkpop Festival 2024 in The Netherlands.
NBT ended their set with new one
Overcome and old one Amsterdam.

Last weekend at Reading/Leeds festival.
Doesn’t look/sound like sadness to me.
Irish rap sensation KNEECAP released their critically praised
debut album FINE ART last June and it will catapult them to
indie stardom.
NME said: “The Belfast rap trio keep the Irish language alive with a hedonistic
but brave debut. In the dark of the night out, the moment is all that matters and
the rave will set you free. To shout that in a ‘dying’ language on a record that
couldn’t sound any more alive? That’s power – and Kneecap have it.”
This past weekend the trio played Reading/Leeds Festival and incited
the crowd with a salvo of sharp-teethed rants. Here’s one of those
firecrackers, ‘BHFIACHE LINNE’ (‘Our Debts’ in English).
Join the moshpit.
Kneecap: Interview with NME – Linktree
After their first 2 marvellous albums, I lost interest in COLDPLAY as they became
too sugary, too mellow for my liking. But when seeing this FIX YOU performance
at Glastonbury Festival (UK) last June, with actor Michael J. Fox, who suffers from
Parkinson playing guitar in his wheelchair, I got goosebumps everywhere.

NPR Music is a project of National Public Radio, an American privately and
publicly funded non-profit membership media organization, that was launched
in November 2007 to present public radio music programming and original
editorial content for music discovery.
In 2008 the network started Tiny Desk Concerts which grow slowly but surely
into wide-known-watched, mini events where countless alt artists/bands have
passed the revue.
Post-punk weirdos – for 41 years now – DEVO did their thing in the by now familiar
(for music junkies) small place (4 songs) last week. They don’t like weird any more,
but still have fun, and perform with ardency and satisfaction.
SONGS
“It Takes a Worried Man”
“Blockhead”
“Praying Hands”
“Come Back Jonee”

Hey, Rosita! Donde vas con mi carro Rosita?
Tu sabes que te quiero
Pero ti me quitas todo
Ya te robasta mi television y mi radio
Y ahora quiere llevarse mi carro
No me haga asi, rosita
Ven aqui
Ehi, estese aqui al lado rosita
