[Watch] Local Natives Perform "Heavy Feet" on Fallon
Having seen Local Natives live, they sound just as amazing in person as they do on their records, and they proved that once again when they performed "Heavy Feet" last night on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon. Naturally, the live rendition of the Hummingbird cut was vibrant and spine-tingling. Jimmy was certainly impressed. Check out the performance below.
Hummingbird is out now through Frenchkiss Records.
[Watch] Toro Y Moi Performs "High Living" Live in Studio
Toro Y Moi, aka Chaz Bundick, has expanded his sound greatly over the course of his career. Starting out with simply a laptop, he released both 2010's Causers of This and 2011's Underneath the Pine. His latest album, Anything In Return, is a great departure from his beginnings, with the artist opting instead for a more vibrant live sound using the skills of multiple artists. This mentality is the highlight of Yours Truly's new video, which sees Bundick and co. performing Anything In Return cut "High Living" at Different Fur Studios in San Francisco. The album itself proves to be an expansive, audible treat, as is this live performance. Check it out above.

[News] Biffy Clyro, System of a Down, Foals and Fall Out Boy Announced for Reading and Leeds Festival
Well isn't this a turn up for the books. Following them scoring their first ever number one album this past weekend with, Opposites, Biffy Clyro have just been announced as the second headliner this year at Reading and Leeds festival set to take part over the bank holiday weekend in August. Eminem has previously been announced to be headlining with Deftones, Boy Better Know, Alt-J and Subfocus also already being announced.
Along with the headliner slot beign announced, System of a Down, Foals, Bring Me The Horizon have been added to the slot. Last time SOAD played Leeds festival, the crowd went so nuts the barrier at the front collapsed. The bar is set pretty high, and I'll expect it to be just as crazy in the pits this time around some 8 years after their last set at the festival. Following the news of Fall Out Boy's return yesterday they too have been added to the weekend. Hundreds of more bands are yet to be added to the weekend including one more headliner of the main stage. We'll update you once they're announced.
For more info and to purchase tickets head over to the Reading/Leeds official site.
