Back in January, we created a list of the Top 10 Music Festivals to check out in 2010. China’s MIDI Music Festival got an honorable mention because, at the time, we didn’t know if it would be in Beijing or Zhenjiang, or even when it would occur (cough*government*cough). Happily for everyone, the

Now we know a little bit more about The Serenades than we did back in April, when we blogged about their first single "Birds" and the mysterious involvement of Adam Olenius of the Shout Out Louds. Details have been revealed, and they're promising. Adam, the main songwriter, singer and guitarist for

If you think about it, incorporating throat singing and Mongolian instruments and shamanic traditions into black metal is really a totally logical move. Mongolian shamanism = pagan practices, revering the natural world, and badass costumes, which = black metal, obvs. Also, despite centuries of

The blue Ashoka Chakra vs. the green Chand Sitara. India and Pakistan have had some serious longstanding animosity (hey, thanks colonial Britishers!) even

Isn't there enough India-Pakistan drama? This month's FHM India cover features Pakistani actress, Veena Malik posing in her birthday suit. Wait. She does have

Yes! We are being rocked by yet another stylish young band from Estonia. There is something in the water and we are going to find out what it is. Right now, we’re zooming in on the disaffected grooves of Bad@ss Yuki. (@ symbol optional.)

The easiest way to sneak alcohol into Rang Bhavan was to hide it under a girl’s jacket. The notoriously long queues of people waiting impatiently to enter Mumbai’s legendary open air theatre were predominantly male, which meant that the security guards at the gate would only frisk guys.

Stripped-down rock deserves a stripped-down video. And Brisbane indie rock duo, An Horse, don't need gimmicks to get you to watch. "Camp Out" is catchy enough on its own, a hook-filled anthem to "the one that I love" from androgynous guitarist Kate Cooper. Though, "I haven't met them yet." ...
