Friday night saw Wax Fang play London’s Koko club on their tour through the UK. The theatrically set venue is the stage for Club NME, which aims to showcase new acts on their way through to the big time. Positive news for the psychedelic rock three-piece from Louisiana, Kentucky. However, their set began at 12.30am, which would have been great for any jet lag issues they may have had, but didn’t do them any favours in the audience dynamic.The set started with force, but by the time Majestic’ began with its beautifully crafted melody followed by stabbing chords and Scott Carney’s Bowie-esque voice, the crowd had hit a state of confusion and began to thin. The war-based, political undertones were lost on most, who were in varying stages of inebriation, but the unsuspecting few who stuck around were embracing this surprisingly engaging performance.As the set continued, those who were using this slot as an opportunity to prop up the bar before the DJs returned, filtered back in front of the stage It was becoming apparent that Carney is a skilful, experimental musician and the crowd’s attitude was progressing from indifference to curiosity Commanding a tight performance from the band, it was not hard to see that Carney had started out with a solo project, but drummer, Kevin Ratterman and bass player, Jake Heustis occasionally drew attention away from the front man with their solid contributions.

We were been blown away by the reaction we received from our first tour. It has been amazing. We are really looking forward to going back out there with this show at Christmas and delivering even more surprises. I hope it will be an evening that people will never forget.Ashley, the group’s leader and choreographer has been dancing since he was just 5 years old. Incorporating several genres of music from classical to hip-hop, their diverse eye-catching routines won the hearts of the nation. In May 2009, Diversity took the UK by storm by winning Britain’s Got Talent. Much of the world were glued to their television screens to see Diversity overcome the odds and sweep to victory, in what was the most watched TVprogramme in these shores for over six years.Spurred on by the group’s motto Dream, Believe, Achieve, they are a remarkable example of what can be accomplished with hard work, dedication and belief. Since winning the show, they have performed in front of H.M. The Queen on The Royal Variety Show, been the first act to perform outside No. 10 Downing Street, in front of the Prime Minister, and they star in the new British smash-hit film StreetDance 3D’. They were even asked by Michael Jackson to open all of his 50 This Is It shows before his death. They have also been travelling the length of the country dancing for their legion of devoted fans.With their first album in 20 years Something for Everybody set for a June 14th release, DEVO have announced that they will appear in the hit animated series FUTURAMA’s 100th episode special.

The question is whether the latest legal scalping will have a broader impact on file-sharing or the monetization of recordings. Probably not, but these damages will certainly be damaging for the individuals involved. Already, information is being gathered on the net worth and assets of particular executives of interest. LimeWire has attempted to secrete assets into Mark Gorton-controlled family partnerships with the intention of shielding those assets from a judgment award in this case, the RIAA informed the judge.Steve Jobs called it the biggest leap since the original iPhone, a debatable stretch. But this is a smartphone stuffed with enhancements, and a much stronger Android competitor.The newest iPhone is quite thin - 9.3mm - and offers far more bells-and-whistles than its 3GS predecessor. The fresh feature list includes dual video cameras, HD-quality snapshots and videos, flash for the cameras, not application support, a bigger battery, much better screen resolution, and even WiFi-powered video chat.The look is a bit more industrial, though that was hardly a surprise to attendees Gizmodo is still sitting on a very hot seat for leaking the device, though plenty of details remained a mystery ahead of the presentation A lot of you have already seen this, Jobs told the WWDC audience in San Francisco But believe me, you aint seen it.

Glance around the industry, and it seems that royalty monitoring, collection, and distribution are hopelessly chaotic affairs. But that spells opportunity for a number of smart technology plays.On Tuesday morning, Universal Music Group Publishing officially tapped TuneSat to help monitor performance royalties on broadcast television. TuneSat is mostly a behind-the-scenes, non-hyped company, though its revenue potential could be important. The company scours broadcast television for unauthorized uses of songs, thereby unearthing found money for publishers, labels, and other rights holders.TuneSat is aiming to monetize royalties buried under layers of antiquated reporting systems, and this is a company unafraid to name names. That includes ASCAP, whom TuneSat accuses of relying on antiquated cue sheets that are 80 percent inaccurate because they are mostly manual and fraught with error, according to one executive.Universal Music Group Publishing is obviously paying attention, and TuneSat also just sealed a relationship with SESAC But how much money is buried under the traditional tube? In the US alone, TuneSat estimates that ASCAP, SESAC, and BMI collect and distribute $2 billion annually in broadcast performance licensing income Perhaps a few extra billion remain untapped.
