Contrary to their name, The Hardy Souls can actually melt the heart with their modern indie. From the heart of Glasgow music scene, the band is one of the great Scottish bands in the small country who can compete musics from anywhere in the world and who continue to bring fresh and innovative sounds to the indie scene.
Starting from its formation in 2008, The Hardy Souls have gained a status as one of the newest bands in Glasgow. The band comprises of music fanatics who also are gifted and who really love to play, namely: Seb Jonsen Campbell Lindsay, Ross Lindsay, Craig O’Neill, and Craig Watson.
Strikingly, the band has a great quality of recording in spite of the reality that the production of rock music is really expensive and recording it is quite hard. There may be a low-budget recording for the band but its sound quality is not affected with such problem. Listening to their recorded music, there is none of the echoing drums or tinny guitars as the band pays much concentration to the way they sound.
As a result, The Hard Souls band produce a sophisticated modern indie that is mixing blues of blues inspired guitar and fills of furious drums. While enjoying their music, one may feel like listening and tasting the ‘The Minority’ along with a vibe of Rolling Stones. Well, this is because the some of the key influences of the band include the Stones, The Who and also Pink Floyd.
Indeed, it is this influence and inspiration of the 1960′s rock combined with a touch of a more modern indie which creates the character of the band.
To hone more their skills and be prepared for any inevitable approach of recording companies, The Hard Souls continue to rover and gig around Scotland. Currently, they are working on some fresh materials on which they hope to release a demo sometime soon.
Await another bamboozling material from this humble, unsigned band and crank your speakers up to 11 and rock out to The Hardy Souls!

Michael Buble is scheduled for a promotional tour for his latest album ‘Crazy Love’. He will start his tour from Orlando in California in March 2010 and journey across 19 cities in the US alone before moving to Europe in May. It is the chance of a lifetime to see and hear this singing sensation, live. With Michael Buble concert tickets in your hands, you can witness the powerful performance and the energy that can only be had at concerts of cult figures.
But Michael has not achieved his cult status easily. He went through many ups and downs in his singing career. His parents discovered his acting talent when he was 13 years of age and he started singing in nightclubs at the age of 16. Finally, it was his paternal grandparents who helped him make a singing career.
Michael Buble concert tickets were not a rage when his grandfather used to offer services as a plumber so that his grandson could display his talents onstage. He however, made sure that Michael got good coaches to start off his singing career.
By 18, Buble had participated at a local talent show, won and got disqualified for being underage. The good part was that the organizer, who disqualified him, had him enter another talent show ‘the Canadian youth talent show’ where he won.
This way he had to go through seven years of disappointment before he achieved his breakthrough in 2000 in the performance at a party. He was heard by Michael McSweeney who later put him on to David Foster, a Grammy award winning producer. In the same year he also won two Genie award nominations for the songs he had written for the movie ‘Here’s to life’. You can now acquire Michael Buble concert tickets.
That break was good enough and he released his first album in 2003. It reached the #1 position in Australia and included hits like ‘Kissing a fool’ and ‘how can you mend a broken heart’. He also went on a world tour for which Michael Buble concert tickets were available.
He released his 2nd album ‘Its time’ in Feb 2005 and a 3rd one ‘Call me Irresponsible’ in May 2007. ‘Call me Irresponsible’ sold more than 2 million copies in US alone and climbed to #2 on the Billboard 200 in the first week. It rose to the #1 position in the second week.
Michael released his 4th album titled ‘Crazy love’ in October 2009. The album contains 12 tracks including 2 original songs.
Michael has also starred in a couple of movies, in episodes of ‘X-files’ and also on TV’s ‘Death Game’ as a Drome groupie. His singing career has paid off.

This Saturday, April 24th, Willamette University in Salem will host the free, 12th annual Wulapalooza Earth Art Music Festival. The completely student funded and run festival brings West Coast headliners to perform on Willamette’s campus alongside student artists of all media, entertaining thousands of students and community members. Portland headliners Portugal. The Man and Typhoon will join Vancouver B.C.’s Japandroids and San Francisco indie rockers The Dodos on the Brown Field main stage starting at 5:30 PM. The outdoor event is sponsored by several Willamette student groups and encourages a horde of local creatives to participate. With over 30 student artist groups performing, there will be Taiko drummers and fire dancers as well as an overabundance of appropriately christened collegiate bands like Rock The Quad and Boner Jams. Student acts will play across campus from 11 AM to 4:30 PM. See the full schedule here. “The festival is both a showcase of student talents and a chance to bring exciting musicians to campus,” says Willamette Music Committee Chair Cliff Batson. “We encourage different clubs on campus to run booths with different activities ranging from a flea market to a giant bubble pool. There is also a craft fair where students will be selling items that they made, which was a new addition last year.” This includes a variety of activities like games, student acts, booths, food, art, and more until the main stage show starts. OMN spoke with main stage openers Typhoon and closers Portugal. The Man before Saturday’s extravaganza. Young indie rockers Typhoon from Portland have seven core members but on their upcoming studio LP, Hunger And Thirst due out May 4th on Tender Loving Empire, a total of 17 total contributors gave their voices and hands to the album playing the expected fare as well as upright bass, toy and real piano, and a crumpled plastic bag. All friends since high school or before, the members are just 21.8 years on average, but their large size gives their music a unique sound that fans of baroque pop acts like Grizzly Bear and Arcade Fire will find pleasing. Oregon Music News caught up with singer Kyle Morton to discuss Typhoon’s upcoming album as they drove to a show in Santa Cruz… and which artists are good for car karaoke. Listen to Typhoon’s “Starting Over” off Hunger And Thirst.
You have a new album, Hunger And Thirst, coming out really soon, are you guys about to hit the road in support?
Typhoon We were in the middle of booking our spring tour when it fell into our laps to do a tour with Yann Tiersen, which is what we’re doing now. We kind of just canceled the May tour to embark on this last-minute tour with Yann Tiersen down to California, Arizona and Texas. So this is our spring tour. Have you guys been playing material from the new album at these shows? Almost exclusively material from the new album, we have one song that’s a kind of miscellaneous piece. We’ve basically been playing the album through in different orders. How did the title Hunger And Thirst come about? It came in a couple different ways. A lot of the material I wrote with this idea in mind of music as food, or something you’re hungry for. So many of the songs on the album are about desire, and in a way hungry and thirsty. And the album is broken into doubles. The first two songs go together, the third song has two distinct parts, the fourth and fifth go together, and so I wanted a name that would touch on the diptych theme of the album.

1. Create YouTube Videos
YouTube has become a powerful force in the music industry because it allows bands to potentially reach thousands, even millions of viewers. At the very least, you can most likely get a few thousands visitors to each video and if you are lucky enough to see your band videos go viral you could get millions! Try filming concerts, interviews, behind the scenes footage and so on and then upload it all to your YouTube account so you can find new fans! Be sure to link to your band home page and brand your profile for maximum results.
2. Podcast Interviews
A lot of music bloggers, magazines and music related websites do podcasts with bands, so why not try pitching your band to them? Even if you are not “famous” yet you still could do podcasts and it can be a great way to find new fans and promote your latest cd. Try and make a list of all the sites and podcasters in the music industry and then send them a professionally written email when the time is right about your band.
3. Create a Social Profiles
Social networking is more important than ever. While MySpace used to be king, other sites have appeared that are also great. You should still create a MySpace profile to promote your band, but you should also set up accounts on other popular websites such as FaceBook, Twitter, StumbleUpon, Ning and social sites specifically for music like LastFM. Its a great way to showcase your music and other media content to hep attract new fans.
4. Release a Free Song
Sometimes releasing a free song can be a good thing. If your song is really good and it is distributed all over the place, it can become viral. People will then want to hear your other music, which will hopefully be as good or better as your free song release. This tactic has been used by a lot of bands, especially new bands to gain massive exposure in a small amount of time. The Internet is more viral then ever and with a little push a good song can bring you tons of new loyal fans.

Louis Ives, a lonely dreamer who fancies himself the hero of an F. Scott Fitzgerald novel, leaves his job and heads to Manhattan to become a writer. He rents a room in the ramshackle apartment of Henry Harrison, a wildly eccentric, but brilliant, playwright who happens to be an “extra man”—a social escort for the wealthy widows of New York’s high society. The two form an unexpected bond.
Paul Dano and Kevin Kline couldn’t be better suited to bring to life these two dapper men lost in time, each lending his own distinct sensibility to the sharply conceived characters. Delicately balancing humor and pathos, writers/directors Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini (American Splendor) have a knack for bringing edgy tales to life with humanity, a rich universe, and a brisk compelling intellect that all combine to leave the audience splendidly satisfied. The Extra Man is a sophisticated comedy that will do just that.

Paul Dano stars as Louis Ives, a daydreaming writer who fashions himself a modern day F. Scott Fitzgerald, who sets out for New York to make a name for himself. He rents a room from the eccentric Henry Harrison (Kevin Kline), a failed but brilliant playwright who lately finds work as an “extra man”—an escort for wealthy society widows. The two form an unexpected bond, and Henry introduces Louis to a fantastic cast of eccentric characters that could only be found in New York.
