Last week’s show calendar was insane, with sold out events left and right, but the sleeper performance of the week (and quite possibly, one of the best) came from BLK JKS. The crew from South Africa put on an unbelievable show, making them more than worthy of their “next big thing” status. Led by lead singer Lindani Buthelezi and the ferocious drumming of Tshepang Ramoba, the BLK JKS not only dropped familiar songs like “Summertime,” and “Lakeside,” but dropped some amazing extended cuts in typical jam band fashion.
The band has already covered the Fader and are onto very big things once their album After Robots drops in September. Lady Glock chatted with the guys about their current tour and moving to Indiana in the winter of all places to record their album. Also, check these beautiful shots that Ms. Glock took as well.

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]
ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous
Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre. The eight year veteran has received terrific acclaim both stateside and abroad for his musically dense but pop trending melodies awakening a sense of early 80s synth pop sounds. However, with [...]
Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love
While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]
ALBUM REVIEW:Massive Attack “Heligoland”
Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
