Pemberton Music Festival Announcement

April 28, 2017 by morningaftershow

pemby

It took awhile to get announced…and even ended with a little drama, but here we are! The 2017 Pemberton Music Festival.

CHANCE THE RAPPER * MUSE * A TRIBE CALLED QUEST

MAJOR LAZER*HAIM*RUN THE JEWELS*MARSHMELLO*DIPLO*BIG SEAN∙WEEN*LOGIC*ALESSO

         LOGIC * TEGAN & SARA * MGMT * FUTURE ISLANDS * ZEDS DEAD * MIGOS * CARNAGE * LIL UZI VERT NATHANIEL RATELIFF & THE NIGHT SWEATS * SLIGHTLY STOOPID

BEN HARPER & THE INNOCENT CRIMINALS * GRIZ * NELLY

REBELUTION * LIL YACHTY * DEORRO * A TRIBE CALLED RED * MAJID JORDAN * LOCAL NATIVES 

KHALID * EAGLES OF DEATH METAL* THE AVALANCHES *BOB MOSES * JULY TALK * JOEY BADA$$ * 6LACK

AMINE * THUNDERCAT * CASHMERE CAT * SHOVELS & ROPE

THE RURAL ALBERTA ADVANTAGE * NONAME * BROODS * SONREAL * K.FLAY* GRANDTHEFT * ROY WOODS

  1. CARMACK * CURRENT SWELL * HAMILTON LEITHAUSER*DENZEL CURRY * LECRAE 

SAID THE WHALE * PUP*GIRAFFAGE * PVRIS *BOYFRIEND *DIRTY RADIO * TENNYSON

MARCUS KING BAND * KILO KISH * TASHA THE AMAZON *A. CHAL * HUNDRED WATERS 

As has become a national pastime…. your mileage may vary with this group of artists. If you’re like, “I Don’t KNOW ANY of the bands!” then this festival isn’t for you. And that’s OK.

Personally I’ll be on the Island that weekend, though I might be able to hit the Friday and/or Sunday depending how the schedule shakes out. There are a bunch of bands I’d be amped to see.

I am LOVING the new Haim song. It feels like a demo or a tease of what’s to come. But it is still a pretty song. I like it.

MGMT will be a thing! Muse, Future Islands, Eagles of Death Metal, Pup…are all bands I haven’t seen live and I’d be done to get into. Lots of hip hop artists I play in my DJ sets…would be cool to get into their live show and see what they’re all about. That Chance the Rapper record, Coloring Book, is great.

There a bunch of acts on here i have seen….I think I saw Major Lazer last year?  Didn’t they play Pemberton? I dunno. Current Swell is amazing, Said The Whale, July Talk, K. Flay, Dirty Radio, Rural Alberta Advantage…they’ll all be great.

Nelly?  C’mon! I’d ride with that. Dude is a staple of my Match sets.

Go with yourself.

Story Of The Year powers on. Here’s a re-recorded version of 2003’s “Until The Day I Die”

April 26, 2017 by morningaftershow

story

I was feeling nostalgic to hear Story of the Year‘s 2003 record, Page Avenue, specifically “Until The Day I Die.”

I punched up Spotify and noticed there was a 2013 version of the record. I hit play and it was broken down, piano, not-screamo versions of the songs.

Huh.

That’s cool. Band is still plugging away….recording a new record, seeking pledges, learning how skateboard.  They wrote on their PledgeMusic site,

“It’s been 6 years since our last record. We’ve been on a self imposed hiatus for much of that time, and to say it’s been confusing and difficult for all of us is an understatement.

But with darkness often comes great art, and to be certain, the sun always rises. We’re stepping out of the shadows with more passion and energy than perhaps any time in the last decade.”

I alway liked this St. Louis, Missouri band… I remember playing some of their songs on the radio back when I started on modern rock in 2003.

I’m gunna punch up the original Page Avenue now.

Go with yourself.

Vancouver Island roots-rockers Current Swell have a new album out on May 12th called When To Talk and When To Listen.

Brand new Panama today! It’s a good day. LISTEN to “Hope For Something”

April 20, 2017 by morningaftershow

I love Aussie synth bro Panama. I still listen to “Stay Forever” regularly. “Always,” “Destroyer,” he has a bunch of beauties.

His new single is called “Hope For Something.” The song will be part of a new ep by the same name out on June 23rd.

It’s about a battle with yourself. This song was a bit like therapy for me as it helped me resolve some things I had been holding on to for a very long time. Writing is, was like self-talk.” 
– Panama singer/songerwriter, Jarrah McCleary

Love it.

Happy Thursday! I’ll be DJing tonight at Match Eatery and Public House in New West if you’re looking to get after weekend early.

Go with yourself.

Big bright house from The Knocks – “Trouble” (LIONE remix) :: Also feeling new Cold War Kids

April 18, 2017 by morningaftershow

Happy Tuesday! Been chin deep in incredible playoff NHL hockey, fighting off the Spring rains, boxing, Eastering and always seeking new tunes.

Today I have Lione’s remix of The Knocks’ “Trouble.” It’s a fun, big sounding, vocal house song. If it ever gets sunny again in Vancouver, this will be my jam.

***

Hey how cool is this…my interview with Lars Ulrich of Metallica got picked up by Blabbermouth. Thanks for the shout out!

***

I do post a ton of electronic music. Man, DJs and producers hustle on the blogs…but I personally listen to alt-rock most the time. And an modern rock radio DJ is what I do.

I’ve had the Cold War Kids L.A. Divine banging in the CRV for a week now. Thanks Cold War Kids for still sending compact dscs to radio stations…some people still fight with the shrink wrap and pop them in the CD player.

Go with yourself.

Maryse sent over her new ep the other day for her group Seaborne. The record is called Lustre.

Maryse sings for the Vancouver duo and Solomon Krause-Imlach produces the electronic sounds. Exclaim calls it a “unique blend of cinematic pop and innovative electronic production.”

I made you a playlist. Have a listen to Alternative to What 14

April 16, 2017 by morningaftershow

atw14

Happy Easter! My wife and daughter are off for tea with my sister, sister-in-law and Mom.

Jack is playing Minecraft and we’re about to head down to Grandpa’s for some playoff hockey and Easter shenanigans. I thought I’d share a playlist I’ve been jiving on for the past week or so. Some of my favourite modern rock songs. A bunch of these have shown up on the Morning After Music Blog, a few have not.

Cold War Kids sent their album LA Divine to the radio station on compact disc….vintage. It’s been splitting time in my CRV with a Japandroids radio CD too. The sound feels like it splits the difference between fun and The Killers.

The Bleachers and Sorority Noise are obsessions at this point. And that Dan Auerbach song makes me happy. Every spin, I love it a little more than the last one.
