Right now, I'm blogging and listening to Pandora, the Fun. radio. However, that isn't the band that I'm going to blog about. That mystery band is a group named MGMT. MGMT mainly focuses on alternative/electronic type sounds, and they're popular for songs like "Time to Pretend", "Electric Feel", and "Kids".
You may not recognize the name, but if you heard them, you'd know who I'm talking about. Their music has been featured in a few commercials, and popular on radio stations for their upbeat rythmns. If you don't normally like alt music, this is a band you'll love. The ensemble consists of two guys, Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden. The duo formed the band in 2002, with only the two college students, but after releasing Time to Pretend EP, they toured and opened for the indie band Of Montreal. For concerts and certain tracks, MGMT will add members, making their live band. Their live band are Ben Goldwasser, Andrew VanWyngarden, Will Berman, James Richardson, and Matt Asti. This band was formed in Connecticut, so they are States based.
The band's website is www.whoismgmt.com , and they love to accept fan art, no matter how strange.
Musically Yours!

Brit Band on the rise: Coldplay
Ok. I know what you're probably thinking:
Will she just post another book-related post already!?
The answer to that?
Yes...
No...
Maybe so...
Still, LOOK AT THE BLOG DESCRIPTION, people!
Coldplay, a British alt-rock band, is quickly becoming popular here in the States. Famous for songs like "Yellow", "Viva La Vida", "Paradise", and "Every Teardrop is a Waterfall", this band has trumped mainstream radio, and the Billboard Hot 100. This band was formed in 1996 by Chris Martin, and was originally dubbed "Starfish". This Summer, Coldplay is touring North America, starting in Alberta, Canada, and ending in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA.
I'm lucky, because I actually get to see one of their performances! I'm really excited, and I'll post pictures after the concert. They're doing this concert due to a semi-recent release of 'Mylo Xyloto' (My-Low X-Why-Low-Toe), an amazing album with equally amazing tracks, my favorite being "Charlie Brown". Mull Xyloto is available on iTunes, as well as stores and on the band's website, www.coldplay.com.
On iTunes, Mylo Xyloto costs $9.99, whereas on Target.com for the CD, it's $21.99.
I feel that, although the price is high, it's SO worth the money.
Happy Rea-Listening!
