    Tinderbox lineup info from TheLocal.dk:

    “The upstart Tinderbox got things rolling with the 10am addition of James Blake, Major Lazer, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, Go Go Berlin, Emeli Sande and Sheppard.

    Those additions follow on to the Odense-based festival’s announcements of acts including The Prodigy, Faith No More and Modest Mouse in recent weeks. The festival’s initial line-up announcement included the likes of Robbie Williams, Calvin Harris and The Cardigans.

    First introduced in September, Tinderbox will be holding its inaugural festival June 26-28 in Odense’s Tusindårsskoven, wrapping up just two days before the main musical portion of the 44th annual Roskilde Festival gets underway. “

  • Pre-Order Live In Paris

    Pre-Order Live In Paris

    BRMC have posted some clips from the new 33.3% Documentary by Yana Amur, which is accompanying the new Live in Paris CD/DVD sets now available to pre-order from BRMC’s website:

    Here’s the email announcement sent to the BRMC mailing list:

      BRMC Live In Paris

    ‘It was a little over a year ago while sitting in the back of a passenger van outside Tokyo, all of us covered in sweat and half cocked grins trying to catch our breath after having just walked off stage, I just remember someone muttering the idea that we might actually really want to think about filming one of these shows before it’s all over’

    ‘I guess my first reaction was that we could all use a very long hot shower much more than another live DVD at that exact moment. My second was that it might be a shame if we reached the end of that tour without capturing any of the beauty and even brutality of it. But a lot of the music we create is not only where we exist, but also where we escape to.’

    ‘It’s difficult though with film to avoid making a band into just another ‘reality show’ crafted into a product on a shelf, and at the same time just painting a plain picture of a live concert would be like a dream without very much color or feeling.

    In the end we have released two separate films to show both sides of the same coin….

    ‘Live In Paris’ is the dream.

    And ‘33.3% Documentary’ is the morning after.

    We hope you enjoy what you find’
