So Nokia decided in order to fully prepare everyone for their new phone, they wanted Deadmau5 to play in front of Millbank Tower while they used 16 projectors stationed 330 yards away to display 3D images onto the 400 foot tall building. Because why not?

Holcome Waller sets out on U.S tour

steveg1086 — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 21:29:31 +0000

Holcombe Waller has announced his west coast tour dates where he will be accompanied by Jenny O and Barcelona. They will also be playing dates in the midwest/northeast with Haley Bonar and Daniel Martin Moore. Adding to his previously announced tour dates with Chris Pureka, Laura Gibson and several performing arts centers, Holcombe will be criss-crossing the country all Spring and Summer. Full tour dates below.

Holcombe’s touring rides a growing wave of fans for his music. The Portland via San Francisco singer, songwriter, composer and video artist is prepping the re-release of Into the Dark Unknown on June 21.

The beautiful, “one-shot” style music video was choreographed by legendary downtown artist Miguel Guitierrez and follows Holcombe along a winding dream-like path from his bedroom to the stage and back.

“Waller’s new album, Into the Dark Unknown, is a come-to-Jesus moment come to life, a clear-eyed look at confusion that’s as arresting as it is intimate. The album leaves Waller’s voice front and center, and the result is strong, theatrical and wonderfully nuanced, all at the same time.”– NPR

“He’s got the crazy-beautiful, four-octave voice of an androgynous seraph, but he’s really a coffee-house troubadour from San Francisco and a classically trained pianist, a jazz saxophonist, and a visual artist.”
- Kate Sullivan, SPIN Magazine
