Hurra Torpedo, the best band of this universe, will play only one (!!!) show this year as well. Here is their message to the world:  – Hurra Torpedo did one show in 2007 and one show in 2008. Now we have been booked to the Pohoda Festival in TRENČÍN, Slovakia on July 18. As this might be our only concert this year, you’d better get your act together and go to Slovakia this summer! – Let’s see what we can do about a second show ;) Meanwhile here a video to tease you, Hurra Torpedo plays Britney’s Toxic back in 2007.

Hercules & Love Affair recorded a special set for Pitchfork’s Don’t Look Down series. We digg roof concerts big time and this one is really really special. These Brooklyn disco disciples make music that bumps in the night. And, during this 21-minute sunset rooftop performance, it feels like their elastic grooves and non-stop vogue-ing do their part to help push the sun down across the horizon.

Berlin's legendary club Weekend
is located in a skyscraper off Alexanderplatz and opens its terrace
during the summer. Regulars to the club specially love the early hours
when dancing outside to enjoy the sun rising above Berlins roofs. It
offers a fantastic view over the city combined with the latest popluar
electronic tunes.

The Weekend planned regular open air live
concerts on the large terrace on the 15th floor and wanted to kick off
this series with up and coming electro trio Bodi Bill,
one of Berlin's darlings. Right after that first performance, Berlin's
city officials decided to prohibit all future concerts so we guess it's
safe to say that this is a one-time thing and will remain unique. Word
on the streets is that this is the concert of the year to a lot of
Berliners that attended it live.
Check it out for yourself, put it on fullscreen and turn it LOUD!

After more than 5,000 gigs over 35 years, rock fan Ray Morrissey can claim to be Britain's most prolific concert-goer. On piles of notebook pages in Mr Morrissey's front room, thousands of gigs are listed, one per line, all with a mark out of 10 circled at the end.

And stacks of diaries have more details of the shows, three or four a week – what they were like, what they played, who was there.

It is a personal history of British music, documenting the hazy glory of rock 'n' roll superstars and long-forgotten bands alike in meticulous, matter-of-fact detail.

A few years ago, he spent six months putting most of the information onto his personal website .

The 49-year-old started going to gigs in 1973, when he would sneak into his local venue, the Hammersmith Odeon, now the Apollo, without paying.

His first gig there was Mott the Hoople, supported by an up-and-coming Queen. "I remember Freddie Mercury's big teeth more than anything," Mr Morrissey says. But he was hooked when punk came along. In 1976, hearing that two older boys from his school had formed a band, he went to check them out. They were called The Sex Pistols.
