Breakbot: February 13th (FRI) @ Mezzanine // SOLD OUT
French producer, DJ and member of the Ed Banger Records family, Breakbot has officially sold out Mezzanine this Friday night, and we’ve got our hands on guest list spots courtesy of Beautiful Buzzz. Most recognized for his nu-disco remixes, Breakbot has infused hits from Royksopp, Digitalism, Chromeo and more with his signature French house flare, gaining him notoriety amongst large-scale producers and artists across the electronic stratosphere with many clamoring for the opportunity to have him rework their material. With Friday’s show marking Breakbot’s last tour stop before he takes to the high seas in Miami on Holy Ship! 2015, this will be the last chance he has to perfect a set before performing at one of the most highly-anticipated EDM events of the year. In other words, this will be a raging warm-up and a proper sold-out send-off in the hardest-partying city by the bay.

Contest ends Friday, February 13th at Noon.

Hundred Waters: February 14th (SAT) @ Great American Music Hall // BUY TICKETS
OWSLA recording artists Hundred Waters bring their experimental, indie-rock flavored electronica to the Great American Music Hall this Saturday night. Fresh off their performance on the “Late Show With David Letterman”, the group continues their spring tour across North America in support of its second album The Moon Rang Like a Bell, with the LP’s lead single “Show Me Love” appearing in Coca-Cola’s Super Bowl ad earlier this month. Kicking off what is shaping up to be a packed tour schedule leading into the upcoming festival months, the band shows no sign of slowing down, riding off the critical acclaim and success they’ve garnered since forming three years ago. Be sure to catch them now while you’re still able to experience their “must-see live performance” in an intimate venue like the GAMH.

Contest ends Friday, February 13th at Noon.

The Wild Feathers, Saints of Valory and Jamestown Revival brought a diverse spectrum of styles to The Independent on a Monday night.

Jamestown Revival procure a stripped-down and lonely soul-searching, yet welcoming Western sound. They rocked with strength and the pleasant harmony of great vocals. You can hear the Texas-based sound mixed with the classic rock feel of songs you can put on repeat over and over again, and it never get old. Great discovery here.

Saints of Valory screamed U2 to me. They have a big sound, an epic aura and profound vocals. Great buildups filled in with catchy hooks. Covering Lorde was a nice treat and a fun, fresh play on a song we have all heard too many times. Very much arena music for the modern day, Saints of Valory is the stuff you’d expect at immense venues with fireworks going off.

Headliner The Wild Feathers had many, many guitars on stage. When I noticed them, my thought was “Wow, so many guitars.” But once they graced the stage, it all made sense. The Wild Feathers packed the house on a rainy, cold Monday night, something that is frankly hard to do.They offered the edge of what you hear from a hard rock band like Black Sabbath in some ways — full, hard-lined guitar packed with a solid punch and tons of energy. Toss The Wild Feathers on the car stereo and tear off down the road, and it would be hard to find anyone who wouldn’t love this blend of Southern rock with a modern twist. Feeling so familiar, yet unlike anything you have heard from this genre in a while, The Wild Features brought some of the original roots of rock back to an over-effected world.
