MILES KANE Covers DONNA SUMMER’s HOT STUFF – Belgium/Scotland 2018…

Posted on by JL

Ecstatic live performances…

Alex Turner‘s buddy MILES KANE released his new, third, solo album COUP DE GRACE
on 10 August. All summer long he played festivals to promote it. Yesterday he landed in Belgium at Crammerock Festival. Although he looked like a horny modern day Tarzan, the white dressed Kane played a rhapsodic kick-ass set. A thunderous rock and roll show from start to finish. So many artists love to pick a classic song from other famous artists
to cover at festivals in order to get ALL of the spectators going completely nuts. So did citizen Kane. His choice was somehow surprising, yet totally completely bang-on. DONNA SUMMER‘s timeless disco knockout Hot Stuff made thousands scream at the top of their lungs. Here’s that glorious momentum when performed at TRNSMT Festival in Scotland
on 1 July 2018…

Irish Post-Punk Generator FONTAINES D.C. Played A Rousing Live Set For KEXP Radio In SEATTLE…

Posted on by JL

Smashing live performances…

Last May Turn Up The Volume saw one of the most striking and significant young
bands around playing a feisty gig in Brussels (review here.) FONTAINES D.C. is
a ferocious 5-headed post-punk generator out of Ireland, with raging frontman
Grian Chatten spitting and sneering in a frenzied Mark E. Smith way while the
band thunders ominously. So far the group released three biting singles. One
of them LIBERTY BELLE was performed, a couple of months ago, as part of a
live set for KEXP Radio in Seattle. A fab radio station promoting terrific alt
and indie artists from around the globe for years now.

Experience the stirring vitality and killer vibrancy
of up-and-coming gunslingers Fontaines D.C. here…
