ray lamontagne :: pompano beach, fl

Thursday, November 18th, 2010

i just got to get me somewhere
somewhere that i can feel free
get me out of new york city
new york city’s killing me

mp3: ray lamontagne – new york city’s killing me [2010]

last thursday evening of november 5th, 2010, the south florida rain kept on pouring so hard that it was wondered if the ray lamontagne show at the pompano beach amphitheater would be canceled. however, nothing seemed to stop the fans from coming into the outside venue to see the show. like magic just as ray went on stage, the night sky seemed to stop the rain and the air became so crisp and cool, while ray’s voice echoed almost too perfectly, sounding just like a recording, although you knew it was real.

being able to witness ray lamontagne perform live in that rainy setting was very special. his songs had a soft tone to them and his poetic lyrics gave so much emotion towards love and relationships, but deep beneath it all – he sang with a true passion and heartbreak. some call his music country, folk, rock, however no genre seemed to matter with a voice like his. as he sang “new york city’s killing me”, it was easy to understand every word he shared. ray lamontagnes’s band the pariah dogs were pros, playing their instruments as a whole so tight, seeming as if they had been playing together for years. familiar songs like “let it be me”, “you are the best thing” and “trouble” made the eclectic audience of young to old happy during each track, as they screamed, cried, and gave standing ovations.

massive attack :: bayfront park :: miami

Tuesday, November 9th, 2010

to be able to witness massive attack live october 26, 2010 at the bayfront ampitheater in miami, florida was amazing.  growing up in the early nineties, massive attack were the base of where my triphop music education began along with tricky featuring martina topley bird’s poetic voice soaring through my mind and the beauty of portishead’s hypotic beats and lovely, sullen vocals by beth gibbons. to understand this music during the early nineties and discover yourself made life very powerful, and to see massive attack live last week featuring the feminine vocals of martina topley bird was enough to make everything sound just as it should be — perfect.

driving easily into downtown miami, being surrounded by the lights of the city, and biscayne bay next door created an energy to engage the humid warmth of the chilled out music and versatile crowd. as soon as the lights went off and the sound came on for bristol, england’s massive attack, everyone recognized they were in for quiet sensuality blending into explosions of sexuality in it’s finest. throughout the show in the lights, the band chose to visually capture the audience’s questioning mind by showcasing moving words of factual information about our world, our war and ..even miami’s local news.

for one hour and a half, it was easy to fall under their spell. my favorite part was witnessing massive attack showcase the intensity of their songs *mezzanine* segueing into *angel*. martina topley bird graced us with vocals on a few songs including the beloved teardrop, where the band broke it down a bit with acoustics, making it sound almost new again, yet still beautiful. seamlessly, the audience was transported back in time to enjoy the beauty of what was a wonderful experience.

enjoy massive attack live in miami with *inertia creeps*::

stay tuned for an interview on music is art with martina topley bird!

natalia kills!

Friday, November 5th, 2010

From London and now residing in Los Angeles, Natalia Kills has gone under different aliases over the years like Natalia Cappuccini, Verbz, Verse and Verbalicious, however none of them seem to come as close and direct as her new name now.  Natalia Kills is very inspired by everything that is visual, so in order to showcase her darker sounding pop music, Natalia made a mini-series film to connect with her fans and coincide with her latest single Mirrors. Her remix ep for the single is now out on Itunes and an expected full length release titled Perfectionist is scheduled for an early 2011 release. After getting back from an European tour with Kelis, Natalia Kills can now be found opening up in the US for Robyn. Tonight is the first show in Miami, FL at the Fillmore and her set begins at 7:15pm!
