NEEDTOBREATHE’s New Album “Rivers in the Wasteland” is Out Now!

South Carolina born & bred NEEDTOBREATHE, one of our favorite country artists, released their 5th studio album, “Rivers In The Wasteland” today! They also announced a new headlining tour which includes a New York show!!  We don’t have nearly enough country artists booking shows NYC, unless they’re selling out arenas and stadiums like Taylor Swift, Luke Bryan, & Blake Shelton, so we’re happy they’ll be stopping by!

Watch the video for their latest single, “The Heart” below!

Ed Sheeran Announces North American Summer Tour!

Following a performance on SNL that had everyone talking, Ed Sheeran announced he is heading out on tour!  He will be in arenas across North America starting in August.

Check out “Sing,” the first single from his sophomore album, “X,” which is due out June 23rd worldwide.  You can pre-order it now!  The track was co-written & co-produced by Pharrell, and while it’s definitely a new sound for Sheeran, we’re curious to see how the rest of his album will follow.  We saw Ed open for Taylor Swift on the Red tour last year, and were majorly impressed by his performance, especially during “You Need Me, I Don’t Need You.”

The Vamps and AJR Rock The Gramercy Theater in Sold Out Show

We were lucky to see The Vamps first NY show last night!  It was amazing to see how much support The Vamps have in the US, especially since they only released their first single in the States a couple of days ago!   Hard to believe that this was actually their first headlining show — ever!  The Vamps are fresh from a string of nights opening for Taylor Swift at the O2 Arena in London, where I’m sure they learned a thing or two (like, make sure you know how long the stage is)

They gave a high energy performance and their fun stage presence had them interacting with fans and fellow band mates, even taking a moment to take selfies with a fan’s phone that had been thrown onstage.  (Fangirl note:  This is not a good idea, please don’t throw objects of any kind at band members.  They thank you in advance.)

The Vamps Gramercy Theater NYC 19Feb2014 (1)

The Vamps opened with their single, “Wild Heart,” and played crowd favorites like “Can We Dance” and their new single “Last Night.”  They also debuted some new material, and rocked covers of “Mr. Brightside” and “Cecilia”! Check out our video for “Girls On TV” below.

Opening act AJR totally won over the sold out crowd, and had the whole venue moving to their single “I’m Ready” by the end of their set.  It’s incredible to see how the support for AJR keeps growing and growing!  The crowd was chanting “AJR! AJR!” as the boys took the stage, and you could feel the excitement and energy in the air.  We’re sure AJR made quite a few new fans last night!  Their performance was amazing as usual, and we can’t say enough good things about these talented brothers.

AJR Gramercy Theater NYC 19Feb2014

If you missed AJR (or need to see them again ASAP, we totally get it), make sure to get tickets to their March 15th headlining show at the Gramercy while you still can!   They’ll be announcing more East Coast dates soon as well.

And stay tuned for more info on The Vamps – with a warm welcome like this, we are sure they’ll be back stateside in no time.

The Vamps Music Video For “Last Night”

The Vamps played a new song called “Last Night” on their opening run for Taylor Swift’s RED Tour in London!  We can’t wait for more from The Vamps when they bring their high energy live show to NYC in February!! Hopefully they’ll have music available in the States by then!

12 Days of Christmas Music

It’s just 12 days until Christmas, which means every radio station, department store, and Duane Reade have been playing the same 5 holiday songs since November.   Need a break from Taylor Swift’s version of “Last Christmas”?  (we love this song too .. the first 5 times we hear it).  Here are some of our favorite holiday songs.

NSYNC – Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays (aka the greatest holiday video of all time)

Death Cab – Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)

Mariah Carey – All I Want For Christmas Is You (Because really, can anyone get sick of this song?)
