Blacksburg, VA — I guess you could say I was surprised by Maroon 5’s performance last night (11/10/09). At the same time, it was more or less what I expected. Never before have my feelings towards a band changed so many times in one concert. I went to the show with an open mind, ready to get past the female obsessive boy-band stereotype… if they could prove themselves. This was especially true because my father had seen them at Live 8 a few years ago and said they were actually pretty good.
Their first songs were pure bad-assness. The lead singer, Adam Levine, had tattoos on his arms and was making sexually crude jokes most of the time. They topped off the middle of their set with a two minute long epic drum solo. While the drummer, Ryan Dusick, wailed away the band took a knee and watched as he left the audience in awe. I’ve seen my fair share of awesome drum solos done by great drummers (ex: Travis Barker and Mike Portnoy) and this was on par with their work. While he didn’t lift off the stage in a godlike manor, or have a multi-kit drum set, he did an impressive job.
Unfortunately, the solo left Dursick tired. So, while he was backstage recuperating, the band did some of their songs acoustically. Admittedly, I’m not the biggest fan of acoustical guitar songs. Regardless, this is the scheduled intermission in their set, a point made obvious when they started to cover Alisha Keys’ Beautiful. My ears bled for the duration of the song and left me distracted for the remainder of the acoustical songs.
Fortunately, they were able to redeem themselves. Following the acoustical portion of the show, Levine brought up a female audience member to give her his stool (stage prop). When she sat down on the stool, he proceeded to offer her a lap dance. The crowd was roaring with laughter. After singing to her, he gave her a kiss on the cheek which drew an, “Aww,” from the audience.
There were probably two or three girls for every boy which actually surprised me. I thought there would be way less guys at the show. That didn’t stop the girls from creating an ear shattering wail when they were begging for an encore. My ears received more damage in those three minutes between the original set and the encore than they have from all the concerts I’ve ever been to. Considering how often I’ve been standing in front of the speakers at those concerts, that is an impressive feet. I actually had to cover my ears it was so intolerable.
Of course, the band came back out. What I found unusual was that they only performed one song. Granted it was a long and impressive song. The outro sequence was intense and left a great last impression on me.
For a guy looking for rocking songs I’d have to recommend another band, as a general statement. My recommendation would be to download select songs (particularly not the Alisha Keys cover.) The live versions of the song have more solos and are all around more focused on the rock aspect of music where the album version’s will focus more on the romantic hip-hop aspect.
Kewick Theater, Glenside, PA — Playing For Change performed a concert to an enthusiastic crowd at the Keswick Theater. The concept was created by producer and sound engineer Mark Johnson, a Philadelphia native, whose parents were in attendance.
“Playing for Change is a multimedia movement created to inspire, connect, and bring peace to the world through music. The idea for this project arose from a common belief that music has the power to break down boundaries and overcome distances between people. No matter whether people come from different geographic, political, economic, spiritual or ideological backgrounds, music has the universal power to transcend and unite us as one human race. And with this truth firmly fixed in our minds, we set out to share it with the world.”
The project was started in 2004. In 2005, they approached a New Orleans musician, Grandpa Eliott, to record his version of “Stand By Me”. Then, other musicians from around the world were asked to add tracks to the recording. It became an Internet and YouTube hit. Of course, this was the song most of the audience was waiting for, and it did not disappoint. The entire crowd was dancing in the aisles. However, the song that was even more moving was the cover of the Four Non Blondes, “What’s Up”.
“And I try, oh my God do I try
I try all the time
in this institution
And I pray, oh my God do I pray
I pray every single day
for a revolution”

Hello,
I receive mails from Rob Saunders of The Deuce Radio Show and from Robert Weingartz of Airplaydirect, and I have found your website on these mails. On your page, I have seen that you make promotions of new artists.
I look to market my music through a record label, cinema (BO films), television, publicity or video games, and I should like to submit you my music.
This is my bio :
I am a french artist and I love music since my adolescence. I began my musician’s learning by following numerous courses of guitar in several schools and academies. I followed in particular musical theory courses and harmony for 5 years, to the music school Paul Beuscher of Paris.
Then, I have stopped guitar and music during 11 years to 1985 at 1996. I have music in my head all the journey since my childhood, music is so stronger that I’m obliged to create and compose to empty my head. There are no musicians in my family, so I think that music is my vocation. That’s why, I have bought a digital piano in 1997 and for 10 years, I created, composed, played and orchestrated 10 pieces of instrumental music, it in self-taught. I registered at home these 10 pieces on an entitled CD : Supernova
My musical style gets closer to that of the Jean-Michel Jarre, Giorgio Moroder, Tangerine Dream and could be also classified in the style theme music.
My tracks are diffused on 11 radios FM and internet : GKRadio Europe (radio web of Nokia), Sound Machine Radio, Bob Birch Radio, Radioweser TV, NAB Radio, Jump Radio, Real radio 1, Oto Radio, Indie Life Radio, Nation Rock Radio, Indie Radio World.
In september 2008 and march 2009, my track “The mistery one” has been in the top 10 of GKRadio Europe.
I created a musical site on Myspace and you can listen to my music on my site Néant Rouge: http://www.myspace.com/neantderthal
If you are interested, contact me.
Best regards,
Nicolas Lovéro
