1 per week - Bon Jovi live @ Madison Square Garden

While I was thinking about which video to post today I remembered an article I read this week about Lady Gaga and the fact that she leads this year Forbes' top earning women in the music list.

I decided to check The World's 25 highest-paid musicians list of the same magazine.
I wanted to post a video of a band I appreciate and I've seen live already.

The first place belongs to U2 and the second to... Bon Jovi. The band that provided me an spectacular night this summer.

To be honest I don't really care about numbers and we all know that Bon Jovi thickets are very expensive - and therefore make a lot of money - but it's always good to see our favourite bands having success around the world, essentially when it's deserved.

Fact: The band grossed $200 million playing 74 shows over the past 12 months.

Unfortunately there isn't (yet?!) a DVD of this last tour so this is from their DVD live at Madison Square Garden.

themed week // The Drums, Money

The Drums are an indie pop band, from Brooklyn, New York created in 2006.

The band is composed by Jonathan Pierce (vocals), Jacob Graham (synthesizers), Connor Hanwick (guitar), Myles Matheny (guitar/bass guitar) and a live member Danny Allen (drums).

In December 2009, the band were shortlisted as one of the 15 bands for BBC Sound of 2010, which put them at #5 in the same list on 4 January 2010.
In NME's first issue of 2010, they were mentioned as number 1 in the magazine's TOP tips for the year aswell on Clash Magazine's tips for 2010.
For Pitchfork Media they were voted "Best Hope for 2010" by readers in 2009.

After the disaster in Japan, the band released a single The New World on April 11, 2011.

The band already supported Florence and The Machine and Kings of Leon.

The Drums released a self-titled album in 2010 and Portamento in 2011, both incredibly well received by the critics.
They've revealed that at the end of June 2011, the band almost split up due to stylistic disagreements.

Money is the first single taken from Portamento, which was released as a digital download on September 4.

"Before i die, i'd like to do something nice,
Take me out take me for a ride,
You hit me yesterday because i made you cry,
So before i die i'd like to do something nice"
