German alternative folk-pop duo Milky Chance took the virtual stage for Mexico’s Tecate Pa’l Norte Festival on April 17, 2021, delivering a full concert to viewers across more than 15 countries, and the performance holds up beautifully, Clemens Rehbein’s raspy, distinctive vocals and Philipp Dausch’s production instincts translating the band’s laid-back yet irresistibly danceable sound into an intimate experience that needed no physical crowd to connect, with fan favorites “Stolen Dance,” “Cocoon” and “Down By The River” all landing with real warmth and groove.
Todd Rundgren Expands the ‘Damned If I Do’ Tour With New U.S. and European Dates
Todd Rundgren’s 2026 Damned If I Do Tour just got significantly bigger.
The legendary producer, songwriter and guitarist has added a major new slate of dates spanning additional U.S. cities and extending the run across the UK and Europe. The first leg kicks off June 11 at the Arcada Theatre in St. Charles, Illinois and runs through July 19 at the Cabot Theater in Beverly, Massachusetts. A second leg launches August 8 at Bergen PAC in Englewood, New Jersey and closes September 21 at the Paradiso Main Hall in Amsterdam, with stops in London, Bristol, Manchester, Glasgow, and Denmark along the way.
Rundgren’s band for the tour is a strong one: Gil Assayas on keys, Bruce McDaniel on guitar, Prairie Prince on drums, Bobby Strickland on horns and Kasim Sulton on bass. The setlist, as always, will draw from one of rock’s most eclectic and beloved catalogs. “It’s always a challenge for me because my audience is so diverse,” Rundgren says. “I never know what they’re in the mood for. I want to make sure we have all the musical ammunition we need to satisfy the spectrum.”
Fan presale for new dates is live now at 10 AM ET with password VICTORY26, with general on-sale Friday, May 8 at 10 AM local time.

Dance Gavin Dance Unveil Updated “The Robot With Human Hair, Pt. 3” Ahead of ‘Tree City Sessions 3’
Dance Gavin Dance are keeping the Tree City Sessions series moving, and the latest preview is a sharp one.
The Sacramento post-hardcore outfit have shared an updated version of “The Robot With Human Hair, Pt. 3,” originally from their 2008 self-titled album, as the second taste of the upcoming ‘Tree City Sessions 3.’ Vocalist Andrew Wells is direct about what the track means to him. “Growing up I was a huge fan of the Deathstar album, so being able to emulate Kurt and bring my own passion to this version of Robot 3 was truly an honor,” he says. The Tree City Sessions series has consistently given each lineup configuration a chance to reimagine the band’s deep catalog, and this installment is no different.
‘Tree City Sessions 3’ arrives May 22 via Rise Records digitally and through the label’s webstore, with full physical retail following June 19. A limited edition tour variant will be available at shows on the band’s upcoming North American tour from May 22 while stock lasts.
Nordischsound Proves Depeche Mode Was Made for the Commodore 64’s SID Chip
YouTube channel Nordischsound has been doing something remarkable with a three-voice SID chip and a 1980s Commodore 64, and their chiptune reimagining of Depeche Mode’s “Everything Counts” is the latest proof that the synth-heavy DNA of classic synthpop translates with uncanny precision into 8-bit territory, the iconic melody and bass lines rendered in the raw, characteristic crackle of vintage chiptune with every note earning its place across just three channels.
Alfred Molina, Geena Davis and Alfre Woodard Lead Netflix’s Thrilling New Series The Boroughs
From the executive producers of Stranger Things comes The Boroughs, a new Netflix series that takes the concept of a picturesque retirement community and turns it into something far more urgent and strange. Starring Alfred Molina, Geena Davis, Alfre Woodard, Bill Pullman, Clarke Peters and Denis O’Hare, the show follows a group of unlikely heroes who must band together against an otherworldly threat targeting the one thing they don’t have: time. Created by Jeffrey Addiss and Will Matthews, The Boroughs arrives on Netflix May 21 and the trailer makes a strong case for clearing your calendar.
Jazz Dispensary Brings Roger Glenn’s Lost Jazz-Funk Masterpiece ‘Reachin” Back to Vinyl
For nearly fifty years, Roger Glenn’s 1977 debut ‘Reachin” has circulated as a secret handshake among serious crate-diggers, a jazz-funk fusion gem from the fertile musical world of the late-70s Bay Area that never got the wide audience it deserved. Jazz Dispensary is fixing that on July 10 with an all-analog AAA reissue via the label’s acclaimed Top Shelf series, mastered by Kevin Gray at Cohearent Audio directly from the original master tapes, pressed on 180-gram vinyl at Fidelity Record Pressing, and housed in a tip-on jacket that faithfully reproduces the original artwork. It’s available for pre-order now.
Glenn’s story is as rich as the record itself. Son of celebrated trombonist and vibraphonist Tyree Glenn, he absorbed Cuban polyrhythms from his mother, served in an army band alongside Grover Washington Jr. and Billy Cobham, and went on to play with Cal Tjader, Herbie Mann and Dizzy Gillespie before appearing on sessions with Mary Lou Williams, Mongo SantamarÃa and Donald Byrd. When he reconnected with producers The Mizell Brothers, fresh off defining the DNA of jazz-funk with Donald Byrd’s ‘Black Byrd,’ the conditions for something special were firmly in place.
‘Reachin” delivered on every front. Glenn teamed with Herbie Hancock’s Headhunters members Bill Summers and Paul Jackson, guitarist Ray Obiedo, keyboardist Mark Soskin and a percussion section that included a young Sheila E., building a record that moves from the infectious title track through dancefloor heat on “Rio,” modal jazz depth on “Gloria” and the Yoruba-invoking percussion ceremony of closing track “Rezo Chango.” Latin jazz, cosmic funk and rare groove, all in one place, all completely alive.
‘Reachin” is the third Top Shelf release in Jazz Dispensary’s 10th anniversary celebration, following releases from The Visitors and Joe Henderson. More groove-forward deep cuts are on the way throughout 2026.
‘Reachin” Tracklist:
Side A
Reachin’
Rio
Don’t Leave
E.B.F.S.

Retro-Rock Siblings The Lemon Twigs Deliver a Dazzling 2024 Paris Session for ARTE Ground Control
Brian and Michael D’Addario brought their full arsenal to Paris in 2024 for ARTE’s Ground Control session, delivering a performance that moves through power-pop hooks, baroque melodies and glam-rock swagger with the kind of casual virtuosity that makes The Lemon Twigs one of the most compelling live acts in modern rock, trading instruments and lead vocals throughout a set that draws deep from the DNA of the Beatles, the Beach Boys, T-Rex and Big Star while sounding completely and unmistakably their own.
Foo Fighters Bring ‘Your Favorite Toy’ to Colbert With New Drummer Ilan Rubin in Tow
Foo Fighters are fully in motion behind ‘Your Favorite Toy,’ their 12th studio album, and the television appearances are stacking up.
The band stopped by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert for a performance of “Caught in the Echo,” the album’s opening track, plus a web exclusive run through “Window” and a 12-minute sit-down with Grohl covering the album’s marketing, Nirvana reflections and his thoughts on the upcoming debut from his eldest daughter Violet Grohl, due May 29. The band also visited SNL UK for two songs, and a Grohl-directed video for album track “Spit Shine,” featuring the band surviving a zombie apocalypse, is out now. ‘Your Favorite Toy’ marks the studio debut of Ilan Rubin on drums, a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame inductee through his work with Nine Inch Nails and the youngest musician ever inducted by the Hall at age 32.
New Wave Icons The Psychedelic Furs and Living Colour Team Up for 23-Date Summer Tour
Two of rock’s most distinct and enduring voices are hitting the road together, and the pairing makes more sense than it might first appear.
The Psychedelic Furs and Living Colour have announced a 23-date summer co-headlining tour launching July 31 in Park City, Utah and closing September 6 in Miami Beach. The run covers the Midwest, Northeast and South with notable stops at The Rooftop at Pier 17 in New York, MGM Music Hall at Fenway in Boston, the Riviera Theatre in Chicago and The Anthem in Washington, D.C. Fan presale is available now with password FURS2026, with general on-sale Friday, May 8 at 10 a.m. local time.
The Psychedelic Furs have remained a consistent live force, known for moody new wave classics like “Pretty in Pink,” “Love My Way” and “Heartbreak Beat,” and their 2020 album ‘Made of Rain,’ their eighth studio record, was widely praised as a strong return to form. Frontman Richard Butler has kept the creative energy sharp across decades of touring and writing, and the band continues to draw from that catalog with real conviction on stage.
Living Colour spent 2025 celebrating their 40th anniversary with live dates on both sides of the Atlantic, and also took a significant moment to induct their hero George Clinton into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, performing “Cosmic Slop” to open the ceremony. A follow-up to 2017’s ‘Shade’ is in progress, and guitarist Vernon Reid released his solo album ‘Hoodoo Telemetry’ last fall. Singer Corey Glover has also been active on the road, opening acoustic shows for Soul Asylum. The band’s genre-blending heavy rock, funk and political edge remains as sharp as ever.

Grey Fox Bluegrass Festival has released its full stage schedules for 2026, and the five-day lineup at Walsh Farm in Oak Hill, NY running July 15 to 19 is one of the strongest the festival has assembled.
