Kings Of Convenience played a couple of shows in Guadalajara, Mexico last week where they performed album songs at a larger venue called Cavaret on November 4th, doing a show the following day in the 400 capacity Beer garden of Old Jacks that consisted of B-Sides. They said to their Facebook followers before the event:

That means we will play all the songs we DIDN’T play the day before. We never have a fixed set-list, so its difficult to say which songs we will play when. But f.ex. Gold in the Air of Summer, will probably arrive at Day 2. We would also like to invite people from other places in Mexico to this event, who has been to our “normal” shows in DF (or in GDL the day before) and join us in the making of Kings of Convenience history.

Between the gigs, they said:

Today at Old Jacks in GDL, we will play only songs we DIDN’T play yesterday. I believe we are the first band in the world to ever do this concept. Be there and be part of KoC history! BTW, yesterday was fantastic! The audience singing was, on a scale from 1 to 10, 10.

Dia Frampton checked in with her Facebook followers with news on her debut solo album and its first single ‘The Broken Ones’, which had its artwork released recently. The 24-year-old was viewed as a ringer on NBC’s ‘The Voice’ after releasing several albums and EP’s along with her sister Meg as Meg & Dia. Frampton writes:

Just wrapped up the album. Yay! Wrote about 70 songs since ‘The Voice’ ended, and picked the top 12 to make it! You’ll be able to hear the first single, “The Broken ones” in mid November and expect the album in December! Worked with some inspiring artists & producers, like Isabella Summers from Florence & the machine, Foster the people, David Harris (guitar for John Mayor), Meg Frampton, Greg Wells, Greg Kurstin, list goes on and on. Can’t wait for y’all to hear!

Korean pop sensations Girls’ Generation are bringing their sound to the U.S. with the release of their single ‘The Boys’ on iTunes. After their 2007 debut in Korea, the nine young women became a phenomenon in their home country, receiving the Grand Prize and Singer of the Year awards two years in a row at the Golden Disk ceremonies (the Korean-equivalent to the Grammy Awards). They began topping Japanese music charts in 2010, and have now set their sights on the entire globe. After recent sold-out concerts in Los Angeles and Paris, the girls are set to perform Sunday at New York’s Madison Square Garden as part of a massive K-Pop music event.

‘The Boys’ was arranged by famed producer Teddy Riley, who is best known for his work with the late Michael Jackson. Girls’ Generation are Sooyoung, Seohyun, Taeyeon, Tiffany, Yoona, Jessica, Yuri, Sunny, and Hyoyeon.
