• 5 Great Tracks from Phil Lesh on The Grateful Dead Bassist: 'Box of Rain,' 'New Potato Caboose' and More

    The biggest concert of the year, by this reporter's reckoning, has to be the "Fare Thee Well" concert series announced by the Grateful Dead to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the band's legendary shows at Soldier Field in Chicago. Although it will be the band's first official in decades (not counting The Dead gigs), none of the original members have been far from music, including bassist Phil Lesh, who has toured with Phil Lesh & Friends and the Other Ones. Music Times wants to celebrate Lesh's contributions to the Grateful Dead to honor his 75th birthday.

  • Unlocking the Truth Trying to Leave Sony, Promoting New 'Breaking a Monster' Documentary

    The relationship between Sony and grade-school rockers Unlocking the Truth appears to be coming to an end. The band made headlines over the summer after the label signed Malcolm Brickhouse, Jarad Dawkins and Alec Atkins to an impressive $1.8 million contract. According to Brickhouse, though, the group's lawyers are trying to eliminate the short-lived partnership, 'Billboard' noted. The singer relayed the news yesterday, March 14, at the premiere for the band's 'Breaking a Monster' documentary. Manager Alan Sacks offered no other information aside from confirming Brickhouse's statement.

  • Axwell Λ Ingrosso Share Part 2 of "On My Way" Film With Techno Viking-Inspired "Can't Hold Us Down"

    Axwell / Ingrosso have released Part 2 of their music video/film series. The new video for the previously released single "Can't Hold Us Down" follows up "On My Way," which introduced the story of Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso as fighters pitted against each other in a rural, beat-down manufacturing town in Romania. Just like a TV show, the video starts off with scenes from the previous video, giving viewers a recap of what happened in "On My Way" before launching right into the second part of the video. "Cant Hold Us Down" kicks off right where "On My Way" ended, as Axwell and Sebastian Ingrosso run away from Hedford's angry financial backers, who are unhappy to see that they lost their money and the two had conspired against everyone. A car blows up rather unnecessarily and then a scene inspired by Techno Viking occurs with the burly enforcer taking off his shirt and laying down some awesome dance moves.
