_______________________MECHANICAL BULL_______________________

With all the hustle and bustle that I imagine goes with touring and making a 'new album', I was pleased to hear that rockers Kings of Leon had a 'fun and relaxed atmosphere' while making their 2013 album, Mechanical Bull, Set to release on September 24,2013.

They have also released a few singles. I have listened to 'Super Soaker' and 'wait for me.' I think both of these songs are great but I am simply in love with 'wait for me.' The very moment I heard the song play, I was in love with it! And with Super Soaker, I guess you could say it had to "soak in" a little. Now it has turned out to be my jam song. I love to play it as soon as I get off of work because it puts me in a great mood!

I am eagerly waiting for Kings of Leon to announce their US tour which I am betting will be this fall. After all, I think we are owed a tour. lol I think they are refreshed and out there doing what they do best and that is have a good time while rocking for us fans!

 I hope they keep having fun at it and that they don't wear themselves out again. They are not the youth and young manhood of their earlier days. But I do believe they will be here come around sundown, (even if Caleb does branch out and make his country album.) Which I will be buying and enjoying just like I did with Jared's new Album Smoke & Jackal.

Some of music's biggest names have signed up to a new scheme where fans can get free gig tickets in exchange for helping to fight extreme poverty.... 

Some of the biggest names in music - including Kings of Leon, Foo Fighters, Soundgarden, Jay Z and Soundgarden - have all signed up to a new scheme where fans can get free gig tickets in exchange for work towards ending extreme poverty.

It's as part of the Global Citizens project which is 'a tool to amplify and unite a generation's call for justice. It's a place for you to learn, and act, to bring an end to extreme poverty.'

People who sign up can earn points by watching and sharing videos about extreme poverty, signing petitions, buying fairtrade products and writing to their political representatives about issues surrounding extreme poverty.

These points can then be exchanged for rewards like gig tickets to see bands who have signed up to support the movement.

Pearl Jam's manager Kelly Curtis is among those behind the project - which hopes to modernise and incentivise activism.

The list of acts who have signed up so far can be seen  Here

New Kings of Leon US concert for 2013

The official lineup for the Governer's ball has just been announced and rockers Kings of Leon and rapper Kanye West are on the bill. Kings of Leon have a few shows in Europe and have also played a few other shows this winter but I think we are all still waiting for the release of their next album with a full tour schedule here in the U.S. Hopefully, our prayers will be answered soon and we won't have to wait much longer!

In addition to the music, the 2013 Governor’s Ball will feature a variety of activities like the silent disco, ping pong, lawn games and life size Connect 4. Other artists set to perform at the festival include Grizzly Bear, The XX, Cut Copy, Beach House, Kendrick Lamar, Feist, Beirut, Japandroids, Young the Giant, Gary Clark Jr, Local Natives and Of Monsters and Men, among others. An additional headliner will also be revealed in the future. Let's hope it's The Black Keys because that would be the final push to get me there!
