This is the new video of the Puerto Ricans "Los Vigilantes". Perhaps we could relate them to Davila 666 (also from Puerto Rico), but their sound is close to other bands such as The Anomalys, Juventud Crasa or Lopo Drido.
Two superlicious bands from the awesome French garage rock movement are landing in Amsterdam 16 March at one of my favorite hang outs the epic Pacific Park.

My 40s birthday was simply amazing, 4 days of dinners with the local delicatessen, late sea food lunches lots of friends and family in the beautiful scenario of Azeitão and Serra da Arrábida in Portugal.

Total support for the Russian bad ass girl punk band Pussy Riot in protests against the established corruption and challenging the authorities with illegal concerts and a lot of confusion ... hell yeahh rock on gal's !!!!
After delays and forbidden hangovers mY Indie Soul # 49 is ready !!!!! The longest and most psychedelic of all previous editions, the best way to describe it is a acid iceberg melting into ur brain to the sounds of 60s Psychedelic, Garage-Rock, Post-Punk Dark-Wave and ear pricing shoegaze all released in 2011-2012 with the exception of the Merchandise dark classic that i can't really understand why it took so long to appear on my mixtapes.

" The Amsterdam Music Hack Day is a full weekend of hacking in which participants will conceptualize, create and present their projects. Music + software + mobile + hardware + art + the web. Anything goes as long as it's music related.
Music Hack Day has been a great way to demonstrate the creativity and innovation around music that comes from the tech community. The past three years have seen multiple Music Hack Day events take place. Starting in London, it has spread across the world to Berlin, Amsterdam, Boston, Stockholm, San Francisco, Barcelona, New York and Montreal. It’s been exciting to watch over 2000 participants taking part, building hundreds of hacks and with over 125 music and tech companies’ supporting the events."
" God Save the Queen will be on display in the Centraal Museum from 3 March 2012 to 10 June 2012. This exhibition covers the period from 1977 - 1984 when Dutch youth decided to break free from a dire situation of crisis, high unemployment, housing shortage and nuclear bomb threat. Having lost all faith in the government, it was time for them to take charge. They occupied empty buildings in the cities, and in these squats started small new businesses. Their motto being ‘Do-it-yourself’. This young generation also gave music and art a boost of new life: punk got rid of the artificial symphonic rock of the seventies, and artists once again dirtied their canvas and clothes with paint. Over the past years, the eighties have received great interest worldwide. The revival is clearly noticeable in music and fashion and, internationally, there have been various exhibitions high-lighting this decade. Until now, such an exhibition had not yet taken place in the Netherlands."
Absolutely genius Bonobo remix by the Berlin based electronic wizard Machinedrum and the animation from another world directed by Anthony Francisco Schepperd.
"OUTSIDE IN is a celebratory and historical look at street art and graffiti through the lens of the Museum of Contemporary Art’s groundbreaking exhibition Art in the Streets. The film features renowned artists Shepard Fairey, Lee Quiñones, Swoon, Futura, Mister Cartoon, Revok, Martha Cooper, Invader to name a few. Director Alex Stapleton (Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel) documents the artist’s creative process, their pitfalls with the law, the poetic impermanence of their craft and the artists’ evolution from the back seat of a cop car to the walls of a well-respected institution. Filmed at The Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles (MOCA) in conjunction with the exhibition Art in the Streets."

Super cool collection of abstract beats, future bass, 8-bit and glitch hop with lots of soul vibes and funky delights by San Francisco producer Dailon.
