THE SUMMER CONCERT SEASON KICKS OFF WITH BELLE & SEBASTIAN FRIDAY JUNE 8TH
Click Here to Buy Tickets!! https://www.axs.com/events/348967/belle-sebastian-tickets?skin=foresthills
Belle and Sebastian have partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket sold will go to support the volunteer rescue workers, the White Helmets, who risk their lives every day to help those affected by the conflict in Syria, regardless of their religion or politics.
The best pop groups want to change the world. They want to leave an imprint that no one forgets, to do more than check out as a minor statistic in the Guinness Book of Hit Singles. They want to change the world of pop, and to engage with the politics of pop. Belle & Sebastian have re-invented the pop festival; they signed to a tiny independent label but still beat Steps to a BRIT, before sweeping into the Top 40, then the Top 20. They’ve brought their lost sixties heroine, Evie Sands, over to play a show in Glasgow. They’ve sold out a concert at the Hollywood Bowl. And, in 2014, they cut an album – their ninth – called Girls in Peacetime Want to Dance, that blends electro-glide, baroque balladry, and giant-sized Europop hooks. They deserve several accolades, each of which are rare for any band in 2017 – Belle & Sebastian are unique, unpredictable, and fiercely loved. Continue Reading ›

If your parents or grandparents were in the New York City area in the early 1960s, you probably heard lots of stories about all the cool inventions and park rides they saw at the New York World’s Fair.

It was, for many attendees, their first interaction with computers and other “futuristic” technologies presented by corporations like IBM and Bell System. Plus, about 80 nations and 24 states were represented during the fair. Continue Reading ›
