  • YouTube Music and NIVA Announce #SOSFEST set for October 16-18

    YouTube Music and National Independent Venue Association (NIVA) will collaborate to host the three-day virtual #SOSFEST from Oct 16. to Oct.18. The goal of the festival is to help save independent venues from the economic repercussions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Viewers can watch the #SOSFEST on NIVA’s Official YouTube Channel.

    #SOSFEST

    #SOSFEST, hosted by Reggie Watts, will feature live recorded performances from 35 artists at more than 25 independent venues across the U.S. The performance venues include Apollo Theater, Exit/IN, First Avenue, Ryman Auditorium, Troubadour, Tipitina’s, World Cafe Live, and more. The collaborative efforts of YouTube, NIVA, and the performing artists at #SOSFEST look to achieve the goal of raising nationwide funds to provide relief to independent music members during the livestream. NIVA has been a strong supporter of the “Save Our Stages” initiative, which advocates for passing the Heroes Act that would provide financial support to independent venues and their unemployed workers.

    The list of performers at the #SOSFEST includes Brittany Howard, Foo Fighters, Dave Matthews, Dillon Francis, The Roots, Marshmello & Demi Lovato, Kelsea Ballerini, Miley Cyrus, Monica, Reba Mcentire, Sebastia̕n Yatra, YG and many more.

    Fans can donate to the NIVA Emergency Relief Fund on NIVA’s Official YouTube Channel, to help benefit independent venues. #SOSFEST looks to continue NIVA’s mission of preserving the ecosystem of independent venues with the help of original performances from diverse artists across a variety of music genres.

    During this shutdown, all the uncertainties we have and are experiencing have been very unnerving and have caused a high level of despair. That is why we are so happy and beyond grateful to all the fans and music community for banding together to help and to show their support and love to all the independent venues across the country. This is our light and hope in our time of darkness.

    Christine Karayan, Owner of Troubadour in Los Angeles

Elektra Music Group, a sister label group of the Atlantic records subsidiaries, will also work closely with ATL Votes and Headcount to encourage fan participation in democracy.

    Democracy–and in turn, our country–doesn’t function properly without full participation from its citizens. We are very fortunate to have incredible artists, managers, and partners like Elektra Music Group, Warner Records, HeadCount, and LiveXLive to work alongside us in executing a truly special event we are all proud to be a part of.”

  • Consider The Source Announces Radiohead Themed Live Stream

    Consider The Source is putting on a free live Stream concert that will feature their Radiohead themed set. The live stream will take place on July 25 at 9PM EST on their Facebook or YouTube pages. 

    Consider The Source are self identified, “Sci-Fi Middle Eastern Prog-Rockers” that have been touring for the last 15 years. The trio formed back in 2004 and five studio albums, two live albums, and one compilation. The group hails from NYC and has dubbed their fans the “Sourcerors.”

    The trio have had their Radiohead set in the works for years. They created their Radiohead rearrangements a few years ago when they introduced the concept of recreating the classic radiohead sound at select festivals and venues. Now people will have the opportunity to experience this unique Radiohead performance from the comfort of their own homes. People may wonder if a trio can recreate the radiohead sound but they believes they have mastered the recreation. Radiohead is known for its sound that oozes of texture, tones and technology, all while supporting Thom Yorke’s vocals. Recreating this sound would prove impossible for most instrumental trios but they have managed to use their virtuosic abilities and cutting edge collection of gear to do so while also maintaining their own unique sound. 

    This live stream will be a real treat for Consider The Source, Radiohead, or music fans in general. The trio has two pro-shot music videos for “Paranoid Android” and “Reckoner” as a sneak peak of what people can expect during the live stream. The full show can be viewed on Saturday, July 25th at 9pm EST on the their Facebook or YouTube pages.
