Lady Gaga

Love her or hate her, Lady Gaga is everywhere. With 2 records (The Fame and The Fame Monster), Gaga is about to release her third record; Born This Way. Just a month ago on February 11, 2011 her first single Born This Way was released and played every hour on the hour an radio station 96.5 the whole weekend.

Gaga's great success started in 2008 with Just Dance, Poker Face, Paparazzi and Love Game. The Fame debuted as number 17 on the Billboard 200. After going up and down on the charts the album finally hit number 4 and topped Billboards Dance/ Electronic Albums chart. And then came The Fame Monster in 2009.

The first single off the new album was Bad Romance. Bad Romance premiered on the final show of Alexander McQueen's spring/ summer fashion show in October of 2009. Shortly after Bad Romance came Telephone ft Beyonce and after that was Alejandro. In January of 2010, the album was officially certified as Platinum. The album also came in at number 5 on the Billboards 200.

Now every fan of Lady Gaga is awaiting the release of her third record; Born This Way which the world wide release date is set for May 23, 2011. On February 11, many fans woke up early that morning to finally hear her new single. On March 2, 2011 Gaga revealed a short remix of the song Government Hooker. The anticipation is getting harder to handle but in the end, the album will definitely be worth the long wait.

In March of 2009, Gaga kicked off her first tour The Fame Ball to help promote The Fame. Just as The Fame Monster was released, The Monster Ball Tour started shortly after that same month in November of 2009 and is still going. The tour consists of 8 legs and will end on May 6, 2011.

Lady Gaga is a fantastic musician. Enough said

Sonny Moore

The 22 year old has been making music for almost a decade. Before he was recruited as FFTL frontman, Moore had a few Street Punk bands at the age of 13. His first band was The Riots, which he started at age 13. Then is second band was Hazel-rah, which was more ambient rock and the last band before From First To Last was At Risk.

Starting at the age of 16, Sonny Moore began his journey as vocalist for post-hardcore band From First To in 2004. While with FFTL, the band released two albums; Heroine and Dear Diary, My Teen Angst Has A Body Count. Sonny originally went to try out for a guitarist and came out as the singer. Then in 2007 Sonny decided to leave From First To Last to pursue a solo career and because of the damage done to his vocal chords. Moore and the rest of the bands are on good terms.

Sonny released his first solo album Gypsyhook in 2009. Moore is a professional DJ known as Skrillex. Under the name of Skrillex, he has released two EPs: My Name Is Skrillex and Scary Monsters And Nice Sprites both in 2010. Since Moore's departure from FFTL, his musical style has changed since his post-hardcore days. Going from post-hardcore to a poppy/ electronica/ powerpop and dubstep sound, is quite a difference.

Sonny has been going on tour with bigger bands such as Chiodos, Hollywood Undead, DeadMau5, and helped out with vocals on English metalcore band Bring Me The Horizon. At Moore's concerts his backing band is known as The Blood Monkeys.

Big D & The Kids Table

Big D is a third wave ska/punk band that formed in 1995. The Boston natives formed their Fork In Hand Records and released their first album Shot By Lammi. In 1999 Big D & The Kids Table was signed to Mark Park's Asian Man Records and their second album Good Luck was released. The band also won Outstanding Ska Band at the Boston Music Awards in 1999. A few years later in 2002 the band's third album The Gypsy Hill LP came out.In 2003 the band released another album on their own label called Porch Light. As 2004 rolled around, Big D released How It Goes and was signed to Springman Records. The fourth album Strictly Rude was released. In 2009 Fluent In Stroll was released. And we can't forget the EP's that were released in between the studio albums; Live EP in 1998, Gypsy Hill EP in 2002, Salem Girls in 2005, Noise Complaint in 2007, Wicked Core Christmas in 2009, and 2 Songs 1 Download in 2010. And just announced on March 1, 2011 Big D & The Kids Table is now in the studio working on their newest album The Damned, The Dumb and the Delirious.

If you're tired of listening to the same songs being played on the radio and want a little more excitement go and listen to Big D & The Kids Table. I highly suggest the songs Noise Complaint, L.A.X, My Girlfriend's On Drugs, and If We Want To. With each passing year Big D's albums just keep getting better and I just can't help myself by listening to them all the time. Big D & The Kids Table was the first ska band I actually heard and fell in love with. I've always known about the ska genre but I never really liked it until i heard Noise Complaint a few years ago. If you're into music and looking for something new, this is where it's at.
