The sting of kicking yourself in the ass is different than if someone else does it for you. It hurts more and last longer, especially after missing a concert from one of your favorite UK bands. premiered
So in one sense, thank goodness for YouTube; at least anyone can see parts of a concert they missed - which would have never been possible five years ago.
On Feb. 8th the UK 'goth rockers' Editors played at the Warfield in San Francisco to a sold out crowd. Not only do I love going to the Warfield, but the band was debuting new material that they hadn't played at their last San Francisco gig last September.
Here's a clip from the show of the Editors playing their yet-to-be-released single "Push Your Head Towards The Air" :
View the official music video set to be released as the band's next single in the U.K. on March 3. It's an interesting new approach to most of their previous work, relying heavily on the piano keys and voice of , stripped away from the hard-driving, escalating chord progressions and Interpol-like gothic percussions.
The band opened the show with "Camera," surprising some fans who didn't think they would play it all. Here's the band playing one of the last songs of the night, "Lights":

REM, Iron Maiden, The Killers Announced for Budapest's Week-Long Sziget Festival 2008
Tuesday, February 19, 2008
Hungary may be known more for its traditional dancing and music than a major summer rock festival, but that tell that to the thousands of Europeans who flock to Budapest' Sziget Festival each year. This year's festival dates are set for August 11-16, 2008.The outdoor camping festival is held on Obudai Island on the Danube River. This year's fest kicks off with a concert from old-timer metal heads Iron Maiden followed by artists such as The Killers, REM, Nine Inch Nails, Gogol Bordello and many others. Get the full details from the official Sziget Festival website.
The 100€ festival tickets (see details and order online before they sell out) include a week's camping (beginning on August 11). An estimated 50,000 fans will attend and camp on the island during the week-long festival. Now damn, that sounds like fun. Nevertheless, according to festival organizers, this will be the last year that Sziget is going to be held for six days. 

A mayor in a neighboring district has filed a lawsuit against the organizers claiming that the event causes a significant disturbance to residents in the area (you damn party poopers! - look at the money it brings in to your community).
Stay tuned to Indie Rock Concerts for more updates on Sziget and other U.S., Canadian, U.K., European, Asian and Australian indie rock concert and festival news, updates, photos, videos, music, artist profiles, promotions and more.
