Lorde biography

Lorde, born Ella Marija Lani Yellic O’Connor on 7 November 1996, is an electro-pop singer and songwriter from Devonport, New Zealand.

Lorde signed to Universal Music Group in her early teens and was soon paired with producer and songwriter Joel Little (who has won Grammy Awards for songwriting and was the lead singer for New Zealand pop punk band, Goodnight Nurse). Little co-wrote and produced most of Lorde’s works, her first being “The Love Club EP” in March 2013. The EP reached the number two positions in national record charts in New Zealand and Australia.

A few months later Lorde released her debut single titled “Royals” and it was an instant, international hit. It even reached the top spot on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, making Lorde the youngest solo artist to have a number one US hit single (the last artist to hold to title was Tiffany and her single “I Think We’re Alone Now” in 1987). “Royals” first gained so much recognition on YouTube for its video, directed by Joel Kefali, which received over 750,000 views.

“Pure Heroine,” Lorde’s debut “indietronica” album, was released later in 2013 and predictably achieved immediate chart success in her home country and Australia. The dream-pop album also reached number three on the US Billboard 200. Other than “Royals,” singles from the album include “Team,” “Glory and Gore” and “Tennis Court.”

Lorde has also collaborated with UK house and pop duo, Disclosure, who released a remix of “Royals” (combined with Aluna George’s “White Noise”). She has also become revered as one of the most influential teenagers in popular culture, famously speaking out about feminism being “completely natural” and condemning the media for photo shopping photographs of her; even tweeting an original image of herself next to the photo shopped one, stating “two photos from today, one edited so my skin is perfect and one real. remember flaws are ok :-)”

Major Lazer biography

The brain project of American EDM artist, Thomas Wesley Pentz (AKA Diplo), Major Lazer was originally a collaboration with fellow EDM artist Switch, and later on Jillionaire and Walshy Fire.

After both Diplo and Switch worked with MIA, they were introduced to each other and thus Major Lazer was born out of their collaboration. Their first album “Guns Don’t Kill People…Lazers Do” was released in the summer of 2009 via Downtown Records. The album had vocal guests like Nina Sky, Santigold, and Turbulence with additional production done by Afrojack and Crookers. The album was met with quite warmly, with a MTV VMA Breakthrough Video nomination for the song “Hold The Line.” They also were slated live performances at some of the biggest music festivals around the world, such as the 2010 Coachella Music Festival in California in the United States and The Falls Music & Arts Festival in Victoria, Australia.

However, in 2011 due to creative differences Switch left and was shortly replaced by DJ/ Producer Jillionaire and Walshy Fire. The trio released “Free The Universe” in April 2013, along with the announcement of a world tour for the album. The album again featured guest vocals from various artists, such as Wyclef Jean, Bruno Mars, Laidback Luke and Vampire Weekend’s Ezra Koenig. They continued to make music into 2014, with Pharrell Williams and Sean Paul signing on to be a part of their EP project, “Apocalypse Now.”

Mother Mother biography

Mother Mother is a Canadian indie rock band formed in early 2005 from Quadra Island, British Columbia, Canada, based in Vancouver, Canada.

Guitarist and vocalist Ryan Guldemond while attending music school in Vancouver, Canada, wished to start a vocal-driven band guided by pop influences. He enlisted the help of sister Molly and friend Debra-Jean Creelman and played various gigs as an acoustic act before recruiting Kenton Loewen on drums and Jeremy Page on bass.

Originally under the moniker Mother, the band independently released a self-titled album which was recorded with the help of Howard Redekopp who has been known for his work with The New Pornographers and Tegan and Sara. The album wasn’t a huge commercial success but acquired the band a host of high-profile gigs including Vancouver International Jazz Festival, Pop Montreal and opening slots for the Wailin’ Jennys and the Cat Empire. Encouraged to change their name to avoid legal issues the band re-released their debut on Feruary 27, 2007 changing the name to “Touch Up”.

Mother Mother’s sophomore album “O My Heart” received positive reviews, with influences as far-reaching as the Pixies, Mozart and William Burroughs. Its follow-up “Eureka” release March 15, 2011, developed the band on a far more orchestral level and adopted a broader spectrum of genre influences from pop ballads to hip-hop. The band’s fourth full-length “The Sticks” was released on September 18, 2012 and charted at No. 11 in the Canadian chart. The band’s most recent album 2014’s “Very Good Bad Thing” was released November 4, 2014 on Island Records, with single “Get Out The Way” reaching No. 9 on the Canadian Alt Chart.

Of Monsters and Men biography

Of Monsters and Men have found international success outside of their native Iceland, topping the charts in several countries around the world following the release of their debut album in 2011.

The band first came together in 2009, after Nanna Bryndis Himarsdóttir (vocals, guitar) expanded her solo project to include Raggnar Pórhallsson (vocals, guitar, melodica, glockenspiel), Brynjar Leifsson (guitar, melodica, backing vocals), Kristján Kristjánsson (bass, backing vocals) and Arnar Rósenkranz Hilmarsson (melodica, glockenspiel, accordion, backing vocals). The band performed regularly at venues across their homeland, building in local popularity. In 2010, they received an invitation to perform at 2010's Iceland Airwaves Festival, a show that broke them to a wider audience, impressing Seattle's (US) KEXP Radio show, who recorded a living room performance of their track, "Little Talks."

After this exposure, Of Monsters and Men signed with Record Records in February 2011, beginning work on their debut album thereafter. "Little Talks" was released as a single, receiving significant airplay, most notably in the US. The debut record itself, "My Head Is an Animal," appeared in September 2011, with "Little Talks" reaching the top spot on the charts.

Growing popularity led Universal Records to agree a major label deal, distributing their debut globally. The band received praise as the "new Arcade Fire," before releasing a new EP, "Into The Woods" in December 2011. Their debut record, "My Head Is an Animal" was then re-released in the US in April 2012, again continuing the band's momentum of success. The band then embarked on a tour of the US and UK, performing at a number of major festivals, including T in the Park, Coachella and Bonnaroo Music Festival. A number of their songs were also used for film soundtracks, with Of Monsters and Men being featured on "The Secret Life of Walter and Mitty" (2013) and "The Hunger Games: Catching Fire" (2013).

Their debut album went on to peak at number one in the album charts of the US, Iceland, Ireland and Australia, as well as reaching the Top 20 of several European countries. To round out a successful year, Of Monsters and Men were rewarded with the 'European Border Breakers Award,' praising their international success in 2013.

Live reviews

Lorde was, unexpectedly, one of my favorite concerts that I have ever been to. The entire performance from her vocals, her interaction with the crowd and the playlist, to the drums, lights and music was amazing. Every aspect of the show was amazing. I honestly was in awe of how exciting and moving the concert was. The music, especially with the drums, was way better live than on the CD. Lorde's vocal talent is absolutely brilliant. She's incredibly talented. I only gained more respect for her seeing her live. I honestly was not expecting a lot from the show and came away with one of the best concert experiences of my life. The show does a great job building things by changing the pace and using lights and drums for increased drama. At first just Lorde came out by herself with almost a slower-type energy and then everything opened up loud and big including music, vocals and lights. It was shocking and exciting. I can't wait to see her again. I didn't want the show to end.

Major Lazer RESPECT! Do you want to check out an awesome show of epic proportions! Every Major Lazer show is essentially a party. Complete with crazy effects, twerkin dancers, and crowd-surfing. If you like having a good time, dancing, getting ‘turnt up’ then you need to go see a Major Lazer show. Major Lazer is collaboration between DJs/producers, headed by all-star DJ ‘Diplo’. Diplo started out as a producer for M.I.A. producing hits such as ‘Paper Planes’. Aside from producing hits, Diplo has risen up the ranks to be known as one of EDM's biggest names! He blazes festivals all over the world and now has an exclusive nightly event at XS Nightclub. Major Lazer’s music is a combination of EDM and Reggae, that I would call Electric Dancehall. Major Lazer combines 2 genres of music that usually aren’t mixed together and creates an Ultimate party Mashup. Some of Major Lazers biggest hits are ‘Bumaye( Watch out for this)’ , ‘Get Free’, and ‘Original Don’. If you grew up in the early 2000’s like I did you’ll remember hits from Sean Paul and Mr. Vegas. Even if you don’t you’ll get an awesome mix of music that will make you feel like you’re at the ultimate summer party!

Alabama favourites Remy Zero float effortlessly between alternative and experimental rock – it’s no surprise then that Radiohead championed them during the US tour for The Bends in the late 90s. The relentless energy of drummer Gregory Slay was a magnetic accompaniment to the moody yet ethereal nature of front man Cinjun Tate, who produced the kind of vocal prowess typified by the era. There are few shows I’ve witnessed where I’ve felt as hypnotised by a singer. Tate’s ability to command the attention of an audience is sublime, with singles such as "Gramarye" quite wonderfully conveying perpetual angst. This was clearly relatable to the audience who had their eyes closed and arms punching the air throughout the performance. The rendition of "Save Me" from last album 'The Golden Hum' (2001) was the standout for me though. It featured as the opening song for series Smallville, and is perhaps their most well-known and goosebump-inspiring singles to date, with the whole of the Spaceland venue screaming “somebody save me” in perfect unison. Following the unfortunate death of drummer Gregory Slay in 2010, the band cemented their camaraderie as a band, performing tribute shows in Slay’s hometown of New Orleans. The subsequent shows between October 7 – 12 at Dante’s (Portland, Oregon) The Crocodile Café (Seattle, Washington) Café Du Nord (San Francisco) and Spaceland (Los Angeles, California) were confirmed as their last via the band’s Twitter page.
You can see Cinjun Tate perform today in alternative rock duo Spartan Fidelity.

Did an amazing job performing 3 songs. A great pleasure to have her perform close to home. She did everything she did to make the concert experience lively, while also performing. She also seemed very nice and energetic to the audience.

I hope she returns here soon for a future concert anywhere in the Bay Area. I wish one thing that could be done is to meet the artists after the concerts. Definitely some room for improvement, With that being said, it was a great first time concert experience.

Songkick did a wonderful job of tracking my artist if they toured close to home, and promptly announced the dates when scheduled and I bought my tickets once they went on sale.

I got to see Mother Mother in concert back in 2011 in Tennessee. Their concert was an event to remember.

First, the band looks like they stepped right out of the eighties. Ryan Guldemond had his hair done in an almost fro-hawk that managed to make it through the entire performance. He had the look of Ferris Bueller from the movie of the same name, but the sound that came from the band was anything but eighties.

The crowd fed Mother Mother energy and the band used it to make a concert that was worth the money and effort. The venue was pretty large but it was packed, so people were close. The audience was very eclectic, from hipsters to goth-types.

Mother Mother is a band I really enjoy listening to and I have for a number of years. They borrow styles from a number of places and meld them all together to make a their unique brand of music. They hale from Canada but have played internationally since their inception in 2006. Their music can be enjoyed for any occasion in my opinion, and it varies greatly from song to song. Their concert was great and I hope to see them again in the future.

Every time I listen to Of Monsters of Men on a CD or a record, I can't help but imagine myself sitting by a lakehouse watching the day go by somewhere in Iceland. It's strange to think it has almost been a year since I had the great opportunity to see them at Fuji Rock Festival last summer in 2013. Some may say their songs can get redundant with very similar sounding tunes but when you listen to them live at an outdoor festival, you can listen to them endlessly. I had the pleasure of attending an OMAM (Of Monsters and Men) concert in the mountains which added on a more chilled out, Icelandic vibe to their songs. It was definitely worth standing out in the rain too, especially when they played "Little Talks", oh boy was that something! Although most of the crowd was Japanese and didn't understand much English, we all felt the same way through OMAM's music. Everybody was singing and dancing and laughing under the rain and music filled the ears of everybody. Their concert was one of the first time I ever felt the love for and realized the beauty of music festivals.
Also can I say Nanna is so adorable on stage too?! She is awesome and also very friendly, I had the chance to see her off stage getting food with every other festival go-er. And I also want to make a special mention to all of the instrumentalists of OMAM, they also made the concert all the better with their live music! I would definitely go see OMAM again if they ever visit Japan again or in another country.
