Evening folks, hope we are all doing good so far this week!
As part of the new week, we’re venturing into familiar territory … with a new series.
Bluetooth castings, Walkman emblazoned on the trouser leg. Childhood naivety and eagerness abound with electronica drum ‘n’ bass. Pendulum’s work of Witchcraft is one of those unconditional moments encased in my childhood that will forever be cherished.
Whenever I come back to it, all those memories come flooding in. Simply brilliant.
In a new universal chapter of sustainability for the band, Coldplay are set to go ahead with their first world tour in five years next year all part of their eco-friendly plans of reducing their carbon footprint as a music collective.
That’s the question. Recently, Chris Martin confessed that this was the ulterior backlash that they’ve been receiving since announcing this tour. Much to the satisfaction of those doubters, he answered quite simply, because he wants to. Which, much to the bemusement of others, I totally get. It’s been over five years since they last toured and the true connection you can feel between band and fan in a live setting is a fantastic moment that they sorely wouldn’t want to miss for another few years.
Besides, huge musicians do not even attempt to be eco-friendly or even remotely sustainable when they do their own world tours, so I say I’m all for it if bands wish to try it out.
Despite the band still travelling in their own private jets – which is, slightly ironic – Martin has informed us all that us as fans will be on “kinetic flooring,” which basically means that we’ll be powering the gig – lights and all – ourselves with our frantic movement and fanatic screaming.

“The more people move, the more they’re helping. You know when the frontman says, ‘We need you to jump up and down’?
“When I say that, I literally really need you to jump up and down. Because if you don’t, then the lights go out.”
– Chris Martin

For a carbon neutral tour tackling climate change, they also plan to:
With it being a truly “atmospheric” and “ethereal” album set to be released tomorrow by the name of Music of the Spheres, the eco-friendly tour will hopefully reflect the true idealism of the album when the guys created it.
The tour is set to start in March next year in Costa Rica, a country which is known for the highest rates of renewable energy generation across the world.
An origin story for the ages. A cacophony of interloping saxophones, trumpets and low bass growls of whatever else. A perfect audio salad.
Derived from the hustle of bustle of New York’s subways busking to the delights of the uninterested congregation of the capitals’ inhabitants and commuters, Too Many Zooz bring a phenomena to the world of music that is nothing but a joyous occasion to get involved with.
Essentially, they smash alternatives of jazz, funk, Afro-cuban rhythms and EDM house music to bring a new eclectic style of the weird and wonderful. Refreshingly chaotic, they have trawled from the steeples of New York’s subway system to the glorious ground-level venues across a tour of Europe in May 2022.
With this tour, comes a huge following of admiration and fanatic frenzy ever since they first uploaded to the world of YouTube. Charting millions of views with their brazen public performances, they are certainly a force to be reckoned with – and it looks like they have no intention of slowing down anytime soon.
Escapades of Warriors, Pink Yesterday and Subway Gawdz bring with it a crisis on our hands. Why on Gods green Earth is there no other bands like this? Thank God for Too Many Zooz.
So. damn. fun.
In a brazen news media “frenzy” announcement plastered across social media, Red Hot Chilli Peppers have declared their return to the industry with a mass European and American tour in 2022 – with new music undoubtedly on the way, too.
With John Frusciante returning to the guitarists’ helm, the question is – will you make the effort to go see them live?
Happy Sunday folks. Ethereal, cathartic and simply beautiful, The Cinematic Orchestra is the perfect soundtrack to your lush hot chocolates, snug blankets and warm fireplaces as we venture into the season of Autumn.
Enjoy their eclectic collection below. The classic 2007 album of Ma Fleur is the perfect place to start.
