MGMT and Mac DeMarco are apparently collaborating!

MGMT and Mac DeMarco are apparently collaborating, well according to reports on other music sites at least. A photo shows them in a home-studio jamming away on something, and if you're eagle eyed you'll spot the same wallpaper on the walls in both the video MGMT posted recently and the very image that's sparked this frenzy!

Mac DeMarco covers "Yellow" by Coldplay

Possibly one of the least likeliest covers to come out of 2015, but Mac DeMarco has covered Coldplay's "Yellow" at Barcelona's Primavera Festival this weekend gone.  The Canadian musician's touring bandmate Pierce McGarry took over as lead vocals for the cover, watch it below.

Essential Field Day 2015 (Sunday) playlist

Following on from my Essential Saturday playlist, please see below my picks of the tunes that you must go hear at Field Day on the Sunday. The second helping of the weekend is headlined by Ride, with support from Patti Smith and many other names including Savages, Mac DeMarco and Baxter Dury.

With the festival's line-up now essentially finalised (recent additions include Matthew E. White and Jungle, who will curate the afternoon on the Bandstand), I advise you all buy your tickets before it's too late! There's just under three weeks to go!

Check out the website [HERE] for more info and ticket selling outlets.

Top tip: See if you can pop into one of the retailers or pubs which sell tickets, as then you won't have to pay a booking fee.

Hope to see you all there!

Essential Field Day 2015 (Saturday) Playlist

Festival season is fast-approaching. Therefore, Field Day 2015 is fast-approaching. The 'inner' city festival takes place over the weekend of the 6th and 7th of June, and boasts some of the biggest names in alternative music This year the festival boasts a more diverse lineup than ever before, with the likes of internationally recognised acts such as Caribou, Chet Faker and Django Django, to lesser known bands such as Astronomyy and Jagaara, who are looking to make some traction. Set in the East London mecca that is Victoria Park, the festival brings you the best in indie, alternative, house and disco, along with a bit of African, rock, and electro-pop just to make sure. This festival is the epitome of multi-genre ambiguity.

With the Saturday acting as the main attraction (at a price of only around £55), punters have a wide range of acts to choose from. In recent years, the festival has expanded to a weekend format, where the Sunday is focused around a headline act - this year, Ride. However, with a day packed full of artists too (including Mac Demarco, Savages and Diiv to name a few), the weekend is the most attractive package at only £83 a head. You couldn't find a better bargain if you ask me.

Being an annual pilgrim, I seriously advise you to visit Field Day this year, or at least at some point in the near future. Grab a ticket and don't miss out.
Great people, great setting, great vibes, great music.

That's all I have to say for now. But please check out my essential Field Day playlist (for the Saturday) below. It compliments this great weather we are having quite well.

Mac DeMarco arrested on stage in California

Mac DeMarco was detained during his gig in Santa Barbara on Friday (14th November) night. During the gig, campus police from Santa Barbara University arrested two gig goers, 22 year old male and 21 year old female for trying to fight others in the crowd and moshing, according to the Santa Barbara Independent.

Later on in the gig, DeMarco went crowd surfing and climbed onto the beams across the ceiling of the venue. Once he had returned to the stage he was also arrested my campus police. According to UCSB police Lt. Mark Signa, they were unaware that they had arrested the vocalist until they spoke to him outside but the show still did not go on. Rock and roll, eh?!

DeMarco has since posted on Instagram.
