Primus Performing Rush’s Classic ‘A Farewell to Kings’ In Its Entirety On North American Tour

Primus will pay homage to prog-rock legends Rush this summer with A Tribute to Kings, a cross-country tour that will feature the Bay Area trio playing Rush’s classic 1977 album A Farewell to Kings in its entirety, in addition to their own music.

“A little over one year ago, Ler Lalonde and I started kicking the idea around of Primus performing a series of shows featuring an iconic Rush album from our youth,” says bandleader Les Claypool. “Being that A Farewell to Kings was the first Rush record I ever heard, and that it contains my all-time favorite Rush tune, “Cygnus X1,” the choice narrowed quickly. Years ago I had done something similar with Colonel Claypool’s Fearless Flying Frog Brigade, when we covered Pink Floyd’s Animals in its entirety. It was an insane amount of work, but ended up being one of the most enjoyable live endeavors I’ve ever done. Dubbing the tour ‘Primus: A Tribute to Kings,’ it was originally scheduled to be performed in the Fall of 2019 but, when we were asked to support Slayer on their Final Campaign, the ‘Tribute to Kings’ tour was postponed.

Geddy, Alex and Neil had been superheroes to Larry, Herb and I in our teens, so when we all became pals while touring together in the early ’90s, we were pretty delighted; partially because of the musical geek-out factor but mostly because the three guys whom we had admired so much from afar, turned out to be truly great, down-to-earth humans, and like us, a tad eccentric.

The ‘Tribute to Kings’ tour will be just as it is implied, a respectful and loving tribute to three spectacular musicians, songwriters, legends and friends.”

A Tribute to Kings kicks off in May and spans over 40 dates through August, including Bonnaroo Arts And Music Festival in Tennessee, New York City’s Beacon Theatre, LA’s Greek Theatre, and a Bay Area hometown show at Berkeley’s Greek Theater. Wolfmother will open the entire tour with additional support from The Sword and Battles.

Toronto’s Alt Rocker LASZLO Conjures Up Contraband “Girls on MTV” After Growing Up in a Religious Cult

Toronto’s Alt Rocker LASZLO Conjures Up Contraband “Girls on MTV” After Growing Up in a Religious Cult

Canadian indie alt rocker Laszlo is paying retrospective homage to MTV and its stars in his latest single, “Girls on MTV (80s Guy, The Way It Should Be)” — available now!

The song and its lyrical muse take on a whole new meaning when you learn Laszlo grew up in a fundamentalist religious cult, and his access to music — particularly rock music — was a journey all its own.

Quick backstory: despite not having much in the way of money, Laszlo’s mother had one requirement of her children — piano and violin lessons. While music of all genres would ultimately play throughout the house, his first CD (Rush’s Farewell to Kings) had to be hidden under his bed and listened to quietly, his ear pressed against the speaker.

Still young and not having the funds for his own guitar, Laszlo was eventually given one from his brother; it had four or five strings, he recalls, and in light of his relentless rock-centric practicing, the family started to come around to his sound.

“Music has been, and always will be, a major part of my life,” Laszlo reflects about his deeply personal connection to the artistic outlet that was there for him when seemingly no-one else was. “Growing up poor and in a religious cult, music was a lifeline for me.

“Particularly in the past few years, having left a cult and being shunned by my family and friends, songwriting has and continues to be cathartic and healing outlet,” he continues. “It gives me a lot of hope for a better life.”

“Girls on MTV” is but a snippet of what’s on deck for the Toronto-based music man. Part of his recent album release, All Those Junes Ago, the single lands as a rockin’, riveting throwback to the 80s and the music entertainment machine of yesteryear.

Also released on streaming platforms this year are additional albums, My Time Has Come and Still Rock N’ Roll. “These projects represent my desire to have the freedom to make the music I want, when I want,” he explains. “Being in a band and writing with other people was always the ‘dream’ but my life had a lot of twists and turns that made that scenario impractical. So I took the time to learn all of the instruments myself, record myself, write all the lyrics myself, etc.

“I would say my songs reflect my unique experiences of growing up in — and then leaving — that (religious) movement. Some songs are funny, some are serious. With my music, I hope the joy, sorrow, and healing will reflect in the listeners’ own life experiences…

“But of course, music should be fun, exciting and hopeful. Having journeyed this far, I feel I’ve only just begun to live.

“Rock n’ roll for life!”

“Girls on MTV” and All Those Junes Ago are available now.

Canada’s Best Selling Kid’s Music Group MINI POP KIDS Launches Exclusive Clothing & Accessories Line Partnership with Walmart Canada

Thanks to Canada’s best-selling, chart-topping children’s music group MINI POP KIDS, fans nationwide can now dress just like the pop stars themselves with an exclusive clothing line launching with Walmart Canada this Spring!

Set is shipping now online at Walmart.ca — and in 117 select stores across the country as of today — the MINI POP KIDS Spring 2020 apparel and accessories collection will feature sizing for boys and girls sizes 4 XS – 16 XL.

First up is the ‘Rock Star’ collection, featuring a light, bright pastel palette paired with iridescent sequins and light blue denim for girls, and vibrant pops of colourful graphics with black denim for boys. Just in time for summer, the ‘Pop Star’ collection will follow soon after, using a base of blue and black denim shorts to highlight an electric neon palette of pinks and lemon and for girls and lime and turquoise for boys. A ‘Back to School’ collection is set for Fall 2020.

The move to create age-appropriate, on-trend clothing and accessories both kids — and their parents — can’t wait to get their hands on is a natural extension for the ubiquitous, legacy pop act long known for producing family-friendly versions of the world’s most popular songs. Fans across the country will now have the opportunity to dress up like the stars they see on TV, YouTube, and on-stage at packed MINI POP KIDS Live concerts.

From the 80s to now, the MINI POP KIDS have been entertaining global audiences with millions of albums sold; K-Tel stationed a Canadian re-launch for the group in 2004 and, for the past 16 years, the MINI POP KIDS have been the country’s #1 children’s music group with record-setting sales, extensive national touring, topping the iTunes and Billboard charts, and even the release of an original single, “Who You Are” — available now!

“The mission of the MINI POP KIDS has always been to provide family-friendly music all can enjoy,” says K-Tel’s Samantha Kives. “Working with a great family brand like Walmart is a no brainer.  We are working together to offer affordable looks that kids will love and parents will approve!”

“Walmart is excited to partner with MINI POP KIDS to launch this exclusive, on-trend and stylish collection,” says Marlise Wilson, Senior Director, Merchandising Kids & Baby, at Walmart Canada. “In Canada, we have been a destination for affordable apparel for 25 years and continue to expand our offering for our customers. We think MINI POP KIDS fans will be excited about these new looks.”

“We recognize the MINI POP KIDS are about more than just the music when we see all the fans dressing up for our concerts; it’s one of the most rewarding parts of why we keep the brand growing for over 30 years,” Kives expands. “The MINI POP KIDS are role models that embody everything around self-expression and we want kids across Canada to fulfill their dreams — not just at our shows, but every day while singing at home in the mirror, in their favourite outfit to their favourite song.

“We could not be more excited about partnering with Walmart on this new clothing release.”

Canada’s best-selling kid’s music group MINI POP KIDS are ready, set, and on the road, bringing their dazzling feel-good family entertainment legacy live on stage with The Bright Lights Concert Tour!

Finding New Relationships Through the Psychology of Musical Preference

pssadm

0

Music preference is a psychological phenomenon that almost every person has. Each music genre has numerous fans because their mind has already accepted it. After listening to music that a person prefers, their mood is positively charged.

The love for certain music is random and can be triggered by so many things such as the beats, rhythm, and the message in the song. Others fall in love with certain music because they love the musician already.

But how does your music preference affect your social life, particularly finding relationships? According to experts, there are many ways in which music affects the decisions you make when choosing a relationship.

Music Affects Inner Feelings and Moods

A strong preference for certain music affects the inner feelings. It is a psychological effect that has been there since the time in immemorial when the royal families would be entertained with music. Furthermore, men would also lure women by playing music and dancing for them.

After listening to your favorite music, the beats, rhythm, and message help you to realize who you are as well as understand the meaning of love.

Music Improves Task Performance

As someone listens to music, they tend to get better at performing certain tasks. This can attract someone to you and you will end up finding your true partner. Well, people love partners who are smart and perfect in what they do. With this, many other aspects of life also get a positive boost. If you love a certain type of music, let it be your companion most of the time, especially when you are working.

Music Stimulates Curiosity

As a person analyses the music they love, this triggers curiosity in many other things, including relationships. People who love music are bold and can face a potential partner and tell them how they feel about them. It does not matter whether it is platonic relationships or any other.

Music lovers are always curious about different types of relationships to find out which one will work out well best. And the good thing is that you will also find others who are curious about relationships as well so that you can explore together.

Music Lovers Are Fun

Musical preference is a good thing. People who love music are outgoing and fun to be around. As you go through online dating profiles, you will find many people who are looking for outgoing people, and if you check well, this has something to do with music. It’s no wonder why clubs and many other entertainment joints play a lot of music so that people can have fun.

Final Word

Ultimately, music will positively boost your moods and how you view things. These two are crucial factors in getting your desired relationship. Most importantly, you should find someone with the same music preference as yours.

According to experts, music lovers have a higher chance of falling in love than people who do not love music at all. In some cases, music can cool you down or hype your mood up when things are not working well in your relationship.

BC Country Music Female Artist of the Year Ajaye Jardine Releases NEW Video for “Fill It Up Again”

Award-winning BC Country Music Female Artist of the Year Ajaye Jardine has released a new video for her good vibe track, “Fill It Up Again” — available now!

With over 100,000 streams and counting, the song is the latest to shine off the Richmond, BC-based country/roots/pop artist’s award-nominated debut album, Midnight & Bourbon.

A finalist for the 2016 Ole on The Spot via Anthem Entertainment (previously Ole Publishing), Jardine was nominated for both Record of the Year at the Tennessee Songwriter Association International Awards and multiple BC Country Music Award nominations — in addition to her 2019 win for Female Artist of the Year.

She has performed alongside Steve Earle (Cayamo 2017), Today in Nashville, CTV Morning Live Vancouver, BC Country Music Award Show, Tennessee Songwriter Association International Awards Show, SunFest, the Calgary Stampede, Canadian Music Week, The Roxy, The Railway Club, The Listening Room, and The Bluebird Cafe, among others. She has collaborated with Aaron Grain (The Washboard Union), and is endorsed by AMI Guitars and Lanikai Ukuleles.

The career credits stack with sound reason; as striking as her vibrant and powerful vox are, Jardine’s unmistakable mettle as a relatable, charismatic and endearing lyricist proves she was born for the path she’s walking.

“I create music because it’s who I am,” she says of “Fill It Up Again” and Midnight & Bourbon. “I’m a storyteller.

“When I was writing this album, my intention was to be really honest with myself and share both the highs and lows I’ve experienced to that point in my life. From loss to love, heartbreak to self-improvement, I’ve learned to always find the silver lining in life, or the blessing in disguise, no matter how obvious or hidden it is.

“We all experience heartbreak, we all crave the feeling of joy and success, we all face disappointment, and we all want to be loved,” she continues, candidly. “As an artist, it’s my responsibility to be vulnerable enough through the stories I write and to create a space where others can come to the realization that no one is alone… We’re all in this together.

“Just like everyone, I’m figuring it all out one day at a time. I view my career not as ‘me’ but as ‘we’ — how can we be better versions of ourselves? How can we love ourselves more, so we can love others and the planet just as much? How can we make this world a better place?

“I’m committed to a lifelong process of creating music and stories that leave an impact for the better. The work can’t be wrong and it can never be done. I’m loving every second.”

“Fill It Up Again” and Midnight & Bourbon are available now.
