GORILLAZ Announce North American Tour

Following months of speculation and anticipation — as well as a pair of L.A. shows playing new album The Mountain in its entirety and the US opening of their House of Kong exhibition — Gorillaz have confirmed details of their first extensive North American tour since 2022. Produced by Live Nation, the tour will see the world’s most successful virtual act once again brought to life on these shores by Gorillaz co-creators Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, with Albarn joined onstage by the Gorillaz live band and some very special guest performers. The newly announced series of 22 sure-to-be-unforgettable arena dates across the U.S. and Canada (plus a headline appearance at the Shaky Knees festival) begins September 17 in Orlando, FL and wraps up with a Halloween night finale in Seattle, WA. Little Simz will join Gorillaz on the majority of the dates, with Deltron 3030 appearing on all shows.

The Gorillaz live experience hailed by ROLLING STONE as “an overwhelming pop spectacle, with Damon Albarn’s steady presence to keep the audience focused” draws on a quarter century of genre-bending, paradigm-shifting, consistently innovative musical brilliance. Since their creation at the hands of Damon Albarn and Jamie Hewlett, singer 2D, bassist Murdoc Niccals, guitarist Noodle and drummer Russel Hobbs have amassed an unparalleled arsenal of classic tunes including “Feel Good Inc.,” “Clint Eastwood,” “On Melancholy Hill,” “DARE,” “Dirty Harry,” “Stylo,” “Kids with Guns,” “Tomorrow Comes Today,” “Rhinestone Eyes” and literally dozens more. The BRIT and GRAMMY Award winning band’s latest album The Mountain was released February 27 on their own new independent KONG label, preceded by joyously received singles “The Happy Dictator (featuring Sparks),” “The Manifesto (featuring Trueno and Proof),” “The God of Lying (featuring IDLES),” “Damascus (featuring Omar Souleyman and Yasiin Bey)” and “Orange County (featuring Bizarrap, Kara Jackson & Anoushka Shankar)”/ “The Hardest Thing (featuring Tony Allen).” The Mountain is the latest instalment in the towering Gorillaz discography that includes Gorillaz (2001), Demon Days (2005), Plastic Beach (2010), The Fall (2011), Humanz (2017), The Now Now (2018), Song Machine – Season One: Strange Timez (2020), and Cracker Island (2023).

A truly global phenomenon, Gorillaz have achieved success in entirely groundbreaking and unique ways, touring the world from San Diego to Syria, Montevideo to Manchester and winning numerous awards including the coveted Jim Henson Creativity Honor. The band is recognized by The Guinness Book Of World Records as the planet’s Most Successful Virtual Act.

Tickets will first be available via a KONG Card presale beginning Wednesday, March 4 at 10am local time, followed by a Citi presale at 12pm local time (details below).

9 Artists With Instantly Recognizable Voices

9 Artists With Instantly Recognizable Voices

You know that moment when a song comes on and you recognize the singer before the first full word is even out? Not because you’re a superfan. Not because you memorized the liner notes. It’s just instinct. Their voice hits your ears and your brain goes, “Oh. It’s them.”

That kind of vocal identity is rare. In a world full of studio polish and vocal filters, some artists still sound unmistakably like themselves. Here are 9 of them, whose voices are so distinct they could show up unannounced on a track and you’d still call it in one note.

Adele

There’s weight in Adele’s voice. Not just power, but emotional gravity. She leans into a lyric and it stays leaned.

“Rolling in the Deep” has that sharp edge and controlled fire. “Someone Like You” is pure, exposed heartbreak. And “Hello” proved she can take a single word and make it feel like a worldwide confession.

Bob Dylan

Technically perfect? No. Instantly recognizable? Absolutely.

That nasal phrasing, the conversational delivery, the way he bends a line like it’s optional. “Like a Rolling Stone,” “Blowin’ in the Wind,” and “Tangled Up in Blue” don’t work without that voice. Anyone else singing them just sounds like they’re covering him.

Freddie Mercury

Freddie Mercury didn’t just sing. He attacked songs.

There’s theatrical control in “Bohemian Rhapsody,” raw propulsion in “We Will Rock You,” and pure vocal lift-off in “Somebody to Love.” He could go from rock snarl to operatic soar in a breath, and you’d believe every second of it.

Janis Joplin

Janis Joplin sounded like she’d lived three lifetimes before breakfast.

That rasp wasn’t polished. It was torn, frayed, and completely honest. “Piece of My Heart,” “Cry Baby,” and “Me and Bobby McGee” feel less like performances and more like emotional detonations.

Michael Jackson

Even as a kid, you knew it was him.

That bright tone, the hiccups, the gasps, the rhythmic precision. “Billie Jean,” “Beat It,” and “Man in the Mirror” are masterclasses in phrasing. Nobody punctuates a groove like Michael Jackson.

Robert Plant

Robert Plant’s voice helped define what a rock frontman should sound like.

High, wailing, a little mystical, a little dangerous. “Whole Lotta Love,” “Stairway to Heaven,” and “Kashmir” only work because he sounds like he’s summoning something ancient and loud.

Stevie Nicks

Stevie Nicks doesn’t sing straight lines. She floats them.

That smoky, slightly husky tone wrapped in vibrato is unmistakable. “Rhiannon,” “Dreams,” and “Edge of Seventeen” feel like stories told around a candle, even when the band is at full volume.

Tom Waits

Tom Waits sounds like gravel arguing with a whiskey bottle.

It shouldn’t work. But it does. “Downtown Train,” “Tom Traubert’s Blues,” and “Chocolate Jesus” are proof that character can matter more than clarity. You don’t mistake that voice for anyone else’s. Ever.

Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston had precision and power in equal measure.

That clean, controlled belt in “I Will Always Love You,” the bounce of “How Will I Know,” the effortless glide of “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.” She made difficult vocals sound easy, and she made easy lines sound monumental.

Liverpool Skiffle Pioneer Len Garry Of The Quarrymen Dies At 84

Len Garry, Liverpool skiffle musician and early member of The Quarrymen, has died at 84. Before the world knew The Beatles, Garry stood shoulder to shoulder with John Lennon and Paul McCartney, holding down the tea-chest bass as the group carved out its first sound. His story sits at the ignition point of modern rock.

Born January 6, 1942, in Wavertree, Liverpool, Garry met McCartney at Liverpool Institute High School for Boys and joined The Quarrymen in 1956. He performed at the band’s first Cavern Club booking in 1957 and at St. Peter’s Church on July 6, 1957, the afternoon Lennon and McCartney first connected. That moment reshaped popular music.

Garry remained with the group until August 1958, when tubercular meningitis forced him into hospital for seven months. His departure came just before the band recorded “That’ll Be the Day” and “In Spite of All the Danger.” Even so, his imprint on the earliest line-up remains permanent.

Beyond The Quarrymen, Garry built a life in architecture and later fronted the touring rock gospel musical “Come Together,” launched in America by Pat Boone. Music stayed central. The stage kept calling. The connection to those early Liverpool days never faded.

In 1997, he reunited with surviving Quarrymen members and returned to recording and touring. The band released ‘Get Back – Together’ (1997), ‘Songs We Remember’ (2004), and ‘Grey Album’ (2012), revisiting the skiffle and rock and roll roots that sparked a revolution. The energy felt immediate and alive.

Garry also told his own story in the 1997 memoir ‘John, Paul & Me: Before the Beatles.’ The book documents schoolyard friendships, early rehearsals, and the night McCartney met Lennon from an insider’s view. It stands as a vivid record of the moment rock history began to move.

LSU-Born Rock Band The Bends Launch New Chapter With “Tango”

Emerging from late-night jam sessions at LSU, rising rock outfit The Bends return with their new single “Tango,” out now via Warner Records. The track follows “Lips” and signals a fresh chapter for the Baton Rouge quartet. Written after a reflective phone call with someone from his past, frontman Hayden Field describes “Tango” as a meditation on reconnecting and navigating the emotional distance that time can create.

The band’s 2025 EP ‘Leeward Drive’ further cemented their momentum, highlighted by “Virginia,” co-written with Kevin Griffin of Better Than Ezra. Expanding beyond Louisiana, the group caught the attention of Brad Shultz of Cage the Elephant, who stepped in to produce “The Fence.” Blending textured vocals with garage rock energy inspired by The Strokes and Kings of Leon, The Bends continue to build a rapidly growing fanbase drawn to both their recordings and their electric live performances.

Following recent headline shows, the band will hit the road supporting Houndmouth and Ole 60, alongside festival appearances this spring and summer. With “Tango” setting the tone, The Bends are leaning into their college-town roots while pushing confidently toward a national breakout.

Scottish Filmmaker David Arthur Directs Poignant Short for Songraes’ “Wind”

Award-winning Scottish filmmaker David Arthur directs a striking new short film for “Wind,” the latest track from Hamburg-based trio Songraes, featured on their EP ‘Distance’ via Sotones Records. Conceived as a self-contained narrative work, the film uses the song as its emotional anchor, exploring memory, movement, and the fragile boundary between past and present. Set against the windswept backdrop of Troon on Scotland’s west coast, the seaside landscape becomes both literal setting and symbolic terrain.

“Wind” began as a delicate instrumental by Hannes Klock before lyrics from Leo Bruges shaped its themes of isolation, loneliness, and fleeting hope. Anja McCloskey expanded the atmosphere with textured accordion, while strings from Davis West deepened its cinematic scope. Arthur’s film stars acclaimed actor David Hayman as an elderly man navigating recollection and longing, with Elysia Welch appearing as a memory drifting in and out of his world. Arthur, whose credits include editing work on “Outlander” and Sundance winner “God Help the Girl,” brings a restrained, emotionally rhythmic approach that invites interpretation rather than explanation.

Inspired by his own father’s experience with dementia, Arthur infused the project with personal resonance. Filmed shortly before his father’s passing, the finished piece carries added emotional weight. With ‘Distance’ blending analogue warmth and rare instrumentation, Songraes pair the release with support for Spirit Aid, the charity founded by Hayman. The collaboration stands as both a cinematic meditation on memory and a meaningful gesture of awareness and support.

New Found Glory Return With ‘Listen Up!’

Pop punk favorites New Found Glory are back with ‘Listen Up!,’ their first full-length album in nearly six years. Out now via Pure Noise Records, the record delivers a high-energy set of songs centered on resilience and hope. The album includes recent singles “Beer and Blood Stains,” “Treat Yourself,” “Laugh It Off,” and the latest release, “A Love Song,” marking a confident new chapter for the longtime scene staples.

This spring, the band joins Yellowcard on the extended The Up Up Down Down Tour, with special guests Plain White T’s. The 27-date run spans major markets across North America, following a festival appearance at Hammersonic in Indonesia and additional stops at Sonic Temple Art & Music Festival and Vans Warped Tour dates in Mexico City and Orlando later this year.

With ‘Listen Up!’ now out and a packed tour calendar ahead, New Found Glory reaffirm their place at the heart of pop punk, blending longtime fan favorites with a fresh wave of anthems built for singalongs and sweaty summer stages.

Trousdale Announce ‘Growing Pains Deluxe’ and Share Neil Young Cover

Trousdale, the LA-based indie folk trio, announce Growing Pains Deluxe will be released on May 15. Arriving a little after the one-year anniversary of their sophomore album, the expanded version will include a mix of new songs and reworked versions of Growing Pains’ standout tracks. The deluxe album will feature Rachael Price from Lake Street Dive, Tors, Ken Yates and HAFFWAY.

Along with today’s news, Trousdale has released their soaring cover of beloved Neil Young classic “Old Man.” A song the trio has been performing for years, Quinn D’Andrea, Georgia Greene and Lauren Jones use their three-part harmonies to raise the song to towering vocal heights.

“We’ve always been huge fans of Neil Young,” shared Trousdale. “His music and activism have both served as massive inspirations for us as a band. We covered ‘Old Man’ years ago for fun, and filmed a live version as just a trio. But as we began touring with a full band, it became a constant cover in our live set. It’s by far the hardest vocal arrangement we’ve ever performed. Although this song has been in our live repertoire for years, we felt like ‘Old Man’ was the perfect cover for us to begin with after releasing ‘Growing Pains.’ For the song itself and our own journey with it, we loved the idea of following our album up with a song about growing up — and how we all want and need so many of the same things in life no matter our age.”

Three women in colorful outfits, one in a green sequined top with long gloves, another in a light blue dress, and the third in a fuchsia ruffled dress, sitting closely together with a soft and contemplative expression.

Currently underway, Trousdale are wrapping up their headline European/ UK tour. Once they return to North America, the band has recently announced a new run of headline tour dates at the end of May through mid-June. As festival season begins, Trousdale can be seen at Okeechobee Music & Arts Festival and Highwater Festival. See all upcoming tour dates here and below.

Megan Thee Stallion Makes Historic Broadway Debut in ‘Moulin Rouge! The Musical’

Grammy-winning superstar Megan Thee Stallion is heading to Broadway this spring for a limited eight-week run in Moulin Rouge! The Musical at the Al Hirschfeld Theatre. From March 24 through May 17, Megan will take on the role of Harold Zidler, the charismatic impresario at the heart of the Parisian nightclub spectacle. With the casting, she becomes the first female-identifying performer to play Zidler in the global stage history of the production, based on Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 film.

The announcement arrives as the Tony Award-winning musical prepares to close its Broadway run in July after seven years at the Hirschfeld. Megan described the opportunity as both an honor and a creative stretch, noting that Broadway demands a new level of discipline and storytelling. She shared excitement about embracing the challenge and revealing a new side of herself to fans.

Producer Carmen Pavlovic called the casting a milestone moment and part of the show’s closing celebrations, adding that audiences can expect subtle nods to Megan’s own music during the engagement. With one of music’s most influential voices stepping into a theatrical spotlight, this limited run promises to be a standout chapter in the production’s final months.
