Out of no-where, Weird Al has became a household name again, in less than a week. Potentially under the radar of the younger generation, Weird Al may be reclaiming his spot as the best in comedy music. The Lonely Island needs to take note.
While everyone knows that Drake used to be Degrassi’s Jimmy or Childish Gambino played Community’s Troy for several seasons, there are many musicians today that had more subtle and brief appearances on movie and television before their musical success.
With a diverse staff of different ages, tastes in music, and locations around the country and the world, the staff here at The Early Registration has seen its fair share of great shows, and even some embarrassing ones (spoiler alert: The Spice Girls). We have thus compiled a list of the greatest shows our staff has experienced, with concerts ranging from Frank Ocean at New York’s Terminal 5 to Kanye West’s homecoming show for the Yeezus Tour in the house that Jordan built.
Earlier this week, I received my credentials to do photography for the great people at Pigeons & Planes at Lollapalooza this year. In anticipation of the great opportunity I have compiled a list of the acts we at The Early Registration, are most excited to see.
A couple of weeks ago Consequence of Sound posted a feature titled “Let’s Play Moneyball with a Summer Music Festival” about a piece wrote by The Early Registration’sDan Garcia. In the piece Garcia used price quotes of popular artists in music to drop and add acts to the World’s Largest Music Festival, Summerfest, located in Milwaukee, WI in attempts to also make it the world’s best music festival.
Thanks to the folks that edit the fine print at CharityBuzz a new Kanye West Tour or a second run of the Yeezus tour may makes it way to the U.S. within the year.
According to a Charity Buzz auction for The Ellen Hermanson Foundation to meet Kanye and attend one of his future concerts, “Additional US tour dates will be announced”. The auction notes that this offer expires in June of 2015, which would suggest that Mr. West himself will be touring again, beyond his upcoming festival appearances, within the year. While further details at this time are not yet know, this little easter egg in the fine print can be promising for Kanye fans.
In honor of The Early Registration’s launch, we have released some exclusive never before seen pictures from Kanye West’s Yeezus Tour, which is currently under a second run throughout various summer festivals. These photographs, taken by The Early Registration’s founder and editor-in-chief Dan Garcia, during Kanye’s homecoming stop in Chicago, capture some great shots of West, his costumes, and set-up of the tour. These are truly the best collection of Yeezus Tour photos that you will find on the internet.
