Dan Black To Headline at NYC's Bowery Ballroom, Premieres 'Alone' Video

Yay Dan Black! This is HUGE! Dan Black will be headlining at New York City's prestigious Bowery Ballroom on September 9th, kicking off New York Fashion Week. Brilliant! Tickets are only $13 in advance ($15 at the door) so what are you waiting for? If you haven't seen Black perform live yet, you're in for a treat. Seriously. The energy and talent that this guy exudes is MASSIVE. He needs to be HUGE right now and this headlining gig in NYC is another step closer to that hugeness.

In other Dan Black news, his new single "Alone" will be digitally released (via The Hours label) on August 24th (next Tuesday) in the U.S. and August 31st everywhere else.  It's always been one of my favorite tracks off of ((un)) and it's likely going to be one of yours too.  The video (which Black premiered on MTV) was created by Chic & Artistic, the same creative force behind Black's 2 x MTV Video Music Award-nominated "Symphonies." Sounds like another visual smash.  In addition to the video, the release will feature a remix by MJ Cole and a new B-Side "Liz and Johnny."

Check out Dan Black in all his hipster-deliciousness in the "Alone" video and make sure you download "Alone" when it's released next Tuesday! OH! And for an extra special treat, check out some of Black's performance at this year's Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago! HOT!  Check out Dan Black's tour dates HERE.

Hot Video Alert: Scissor Sisters - Any Which Way

The Scissor Sisters released the video for their SECOND single a couple of weeks ago and it's a lot of fun. Lots of color...Ana Matronic looking fierce and fabulous and Jake Shears looking...scandalous wearing very little. I actually think Ana Matronic might be wearing more clothes! The single, due out in the UK on September 20th was produced by Stuart Price and written by Price, Jason Sellards, Scott Hoffman and Ana Matronic.  Also worth noting, that's Kylie Minogue you hear on background vocals.  The group's first single from Night Work, "Fire With Fire" peaked at #11 on the UK singles chart.  Now, BRING ON THE REMIXES!

DJ Dark Intensity Turns Up The Heat on Mike Posner's Second Single

"Please Don't Go" has never been my favorite song on Mike Posner's album, the just-released 31 Minutes To Takeoff but it's decent enough. While Adam Lambert might have praised the song for it's "flawless production, great lyric, hook and beat" I still remain underwhelmed by the song...that is until I heard the Dark Intensity remix.

The Anaheim-based DJ Dark Intensity (AKA Manny Martinez) is an up and coming remixer who's unofficial mixes of several Top/40, R&B and hip-hop tunes have been all the rage among music bloggers and dance music enthusiasts, even garnering airplay on Sirius Satellite Radio's dance music station.  His remix of country act Lady Antebellum even made it onto the officially released remix EP!   Check out this new masterpiece and watch DJ Dark Intensity take Mike Posner's second official single to a new level.  This might actually get me to like the original version a little bit more.

Jada's 'On Fire' With New Dance/Pop Single

Prepare yourselves world. Boston-based girl group and Universal Motown recording artist Jada is back with a new single.  It's about time! I've been ITCHIN' for something HOT from Jada since they released "American Cowboy" back in April of 2009. While the girls DID release a follow up single in September of 2009, they've been basically M.I.A. since then, putting in a number of public appearances in their native Boston.   Nearly a year since the release of their last single, Jada have a new single available to download called "This Party's On Fire," and it's a hot one. The up-tempo club banger was produced by RIO and continues with the same club vibe that we heard and loved on the RedOne produced "American Cowboy."

Check out a clip of the single and download it for yourselves on Jada's official website, courtesy of Nimbit.  In the mean time, check out this new remix of Jada's debut single by Polish remixer Sound Access (who's unofficial remixes of Kid Cudi and Paradiso Girls can also be sampled).  The remix was recently featured on armin-van-buuren.net.  Can't wait for new Jada!  Their debut album is expected to feature collaborations with J.R. Rotem, Dallas Austin, Swizz Beats, RedOne, Akon, Ryan Tedder, Toby Gad and Wyclef Jean. Look for it!
