SAN CISCOfacebook.com/sanciscomusic
San Cisco, that ‘awkward’ youngster band from Australia, is playing their first ever USA show – in Minneapolis, of all places. I suppose it shouldn’t surprise anyone since the local station here, The Current, has been playing their “Awkward” single.
We have been covering the band since their debut EP, Golden Revolver in 2011, so it’s nice to finally be able to see them in person when they arrive here in October. Unfortunately, it’s a 21+ show, which may be ironic since the band might actually be underage themselves.
No other dates have been confirmed yet, but I suspect the usual Los Angeles, New York, and, of course, San Francisco will follow. I’ll keep you updated.
In other San Cisco news, they recently released a new single, “Rocket Ship.” Homemade Super 8-type music video available right now on youtube.
KYLIE MINOGUEkylie.com
Yeah, I have a soft spot for Kylie.
As if you didn’t know, part of her “K25” (25 years of Kylie in music) celebration, pop superstar, Kylie Minogue released “Timebomb” remixes this week (July 17th). She’s been doing the rounds, appearing on E!, Fashion Police, The Soup, Extra, CNN, Chelsea Lately, Perez Hilton, Watch What Happens Live, VH1 “Morning Buzz Live”, NBC’s New York Live, etc, etc.
Superfans of Kyle should check with kylie.com on the 25th of every month to see if they get lucky prizes from Kyle, herself. She has been trading in her massive stadium shows for more intimate venues throughout the UK and Australia (but don’t expect to actually get tickets because they probably will sell out instantly).
