Weekend Spotlight: New Noise Santa Barbara & Ocean is Theory
As southern California bakes in unseasonably warm weather, it’s just another reason many folks are excited to spend the weekend up in Santa Barbara for the 2010 New Noise Music Conference & Festival… The 2nd annual installment of the event once again has a solid line-up of artists performing and industry pros speaking. Dr. Drew (of Celebrity Rehab/Loveline) kicked things off last night, while industry panels start up today, followed by a string of showcases at local SB venues… Tonight’s highlights include Voxhaul Broadcast, Dead Country, The Silent Comedy and Honeychild at Whiskey Richards, meanwhile The White Buffalo and Meiko perform at SOHO. Saturday night has ASCAP presenting Fitz & the Tantrums, Honey Honey and more at Velvet Jones, while back at SOHO Saint Motel, Imagine Dragons and He’s My Brother She’s My Sister will take the stage. Get the full schedule of showcases here, and you can check out this year’s panels here… Back in Hollywood on Sunday night, catch new Razor & Tie signing Ocean is Theory for a special performance at Cinespace.

Interscope cleared the release decks this week to make way for the new Eminem album Recovery. The question from many is whether or not the highly-anticipated release that dropped yesterday will live up to its name after the industry’s recent extremely sluggish sales-weeks… Leading up to the Northside Festival in Brooklyn this weekend, Sirius XMU is featuring special artist-hosts starting today including Real Estate, Woods, Au Revoir Simone and Wavves… Jes Hudak is the Los Angeles winner of the Ourstage 2010 Lilith Fair talent search; she will perform at the July 10th festival stop… And tonight at El Cid a Gulf Coast Relief benefit concert for Global Green will feature acoustic performances from local artists Voxhaul Broadcast, Trevor Hall, Heavy Young Heathens and others…
