ELECTRIC DAISY CARNIVAL 2016
Tickets for the world famous Electric Daisy Carnival (EDC), Las Vegas officially go on sale for the public starting today, Sept. 21 at Noon Pacific Time. North America’s largest music festival will celebrate its 20th anniversary as it returns to the Las Vegas Motor Speedway June 17 – 19, 2016 for three unforgettable nights Under the Electric Sky. Fans can now start planning their entire journey to and from EDC Las Vegas by purchasing festival tickets, shuttle passes, lockers and premier parking for this three-day adventure at LasVegas.ElectricDaisyCarnival.com.
Tickets have been made available nearly three months sooner than in previous years to ensure fans have the lowest admission price possible. Due to the passage of the amended Live Entertainment Tax (LET) in the city of Las Vegas, a 9 percent tax will be added to each ticket price starting on Thursday, Oct. 1. To prevent guests from paying this excess fee, Pasquale Rotella, Founder and CEO of Insomniac, has moved up the EDC Las Vegas ticket on sale date, giving fans 10 days before the tax goes into effect to secure their passes.

NECTARINE NO 9 NEW SINGLE
Postcard Records – self-proclaimed as “the sound of young Scotland,” fabled launchpad for Orange Juice and Aztec Camera – is a label known for singles rather than albums. But, long after this label’s early-’80s heyday, a reactivated Postcard released a trio of remarkable LPs. In 1994 came the Will I Ever Be Inside Of You LP from Paul Quinn And The Independent Group. In 1997 there was My Personal Culloden from the poet and former Clash roadie Jock Scot. But the remaining album most fully realized Postcard’s imperial-absurdist game plan in long-playing form: 1995 release Saint Jack by The Nectarine No. 9.

MAINLAND NEW SINGLE
“Bringing one part Cali surf rock-vibes and one part blasé British post-punk attitude to their brand of indie rock, NYC band Mainland’s new break up anthem “Not As Cool As Me” is a slap in the face for all undeserving exes.” – FADER

JR DONATO “MAD AT ME”
Taylor Gang rapper J.R. Donato drops his latest track, “Mad At Me,” in lieu of his upcoming Fast Money & Freedom EP, which is scheduled to release this Friday, Sept. 25th. Produced by Sledgren and premiered by GoodMusicAllDay, Donato’s fourth single is a laid back thumper twisting a vocal sample with 808 slaps. The 21-year-old North Chicago rapper reflects on his affinity for weed and women while acknowledging his allergy to wackness. “When the people who doubted and didn’t believe in your vision from the beginning wonder why you don’t fuck with them, they get mad at you,” Donato explains. “That’s what the title of this song was inspired by. I go through that a lot.”

PEKING DUK RELEASE MUSIC VIDEO FOR “SAY MY NAME FEAT. BENJAMIN JOSEPH”
Peking Duk states, “We first came up with this idea for the clip after our set at Coachella. The casting was without a doubt the biggest obstacle in our heads when brainstorming. Then Matt McGorry came up. We weren’t aware of how brilliant this man was on the dancing front, yet we were excited to proceed and see what would happen. All our hopes and expectations were ABSOLUTELY blown out of the park. Matt was hands down the BEST man for the job and took our initial vision to new heights the minute he rocked up to the set.”

BOOTS has now unleashed “Bombs Away”, a powerful new song from his hotly anticipated debut full length album, AQUΛRIA. “Bombs Away” is a percussive and grinding beast of a track that resurrects the industrial genre with a revamped edge and an abundance of much-needed swagger. Listen to “Bombs Away” now.
“ROCK BOTTOM”
Philadelphia’s Modern Baseball are a uniquely contemporary band. The quirky, tuneful songs convey how it feels to be young and hopeless in modern America-a cracked cellphone clutched in one’s hand, subconsciously refreshing social media, hoping to get noticed by that girl at the party and ignored by the ghosts from high school past. Calling on Say Anything’s bravado, the Front Bottoms’ tongue-in-cheek quirk and the Weakerthans’ literary misery, Modern Baseball have made a record with remarkable depth and relatability.

THE CROOKES RETURN WITH NEW SINGLE
“I Wanna Waste My Time On You” demands you forget everything you know about The Crookes.
As the writer Italo Calvino once said, “There’s a boundary line: on one side are those who make books, and on the other those who read them.” You could typify the Sheffield quartet as well read, or versed, in tales of love and the space in-between, but they are dreamers who resonate more with a life lived.
LONTALIUS SHARES NEW SINGLE & VIDEO “ALL I WANNA SAY” WITH i-D
Lontalius (Wellington, New Zealand’s Eddie Johnston) has shared his new single and video for “All I Wanna Say,” today with i-D Magazine. Lontalius has also announced his signing to Partisan Records in the US and Pod | Inertia in Australia and New Zealand. His debut full-length will be released in early 2016.
The imminently charming “All I Wanna Say” video shows Johnston learning how to ride a bike with a friend as dusk fades into evening. The video’s images echo the song’s themes of trust and intimacy: a supportive hand; a gentle helmet adjustment; two headlights circling in the dark, each one searching for the other. His lyrics repeat this sentiment: “All I wanna say is it’ll be alright / and maybe I shoulda lied / All I have to offer is my love / it’s not enough / but boy, I’ll give you everything I’ve got.” Overall the piece captures the feeling of cool summer nights as they slide in to fall.
