Street Fest 11
We can't wait for this year's Upfest (in Bristol) but in the meantime there's another just as important (mainly because of its big brand sponsors) street arts festival here in London... graff, rap, battles, skate, bmx... (fashion??? what?) a good list of live art performances @ a very affordable price .. £10 (well, free would have been even better). Taking over Hearn Street Car Park on 29th May over 10 hours of pure creative process and shows surrounded by a…

Yes Way 11 @ The Bussey Building – London
They may change location, but this year's summer Yes Way festival will surely be as exciting and packed with promising bands as last years. New line-up (a few Upset essentials may repeat), different organic cookie flavors, a lot of noise, drums, synths and dirty pop. Just like last year we'll have to filter inevitably from that amazing list of 45 bands if we want to really digest those we really like, 30-min concerts filled with electric diarrhea and beat verbosity…

Nordic Days 2011
Last year with the beginning of autumn a new festival started to take shape in the streets of Madrid. A viking invasion leaded by Jonathan Johansson, Kaspar, Murder and José González. But it wasn't all about viking music, viking rock & soft pop. There was some room for cinema, dark literature and a few talks too, but most of the festival gravitated around our beloved viking sounds. How about this year? Well yes, there will be a second edition of…

Say Watt? @ La Gaîté Lyrique
The Gaîté Lyrique´s summery expo this year gravitates around sound... sound systems to be more precise. "Say Whatt?" pays tribute to the sound system, portable audio systems, mobile discos... The invention of this form of musical expression came from the streets. From raves in Europe to demonstrations from Kingston to Belem, from France to Columbia by way of Kenya and the huge K7 sound players favored by rappers, the amplified sound of sound systems has been the common ground among…
