The Lumineers Folk Off At Red Bull Sound Space

Justin Cornwall April 5, 2016

You probably know The Lumineers from their folk-rock singles “Hey Ho” or “Stubborn Love”, but what you probably don’t know is that in a live setting they put on an full on absolute barn burner of a performance. They put Mumford & Sons in the shadows, the trio accompanied by supporting backline members ensnare you with genuine storytelling and joyously rolling melodies. Folk rock has never been so prominent in mainstream culture and The Lumineers propel themselves into Top 40 lists effortlessly. We caught The Lumineers at the Red Bull Sound Space at The World Famous KROQ for a Monday afternoon encounter. They’re currently pushing their new album “Cleopatra” (due April 9th, 2016), which is a proper follow up to their self titled 2012 record. Almost exactly 4 years later, the Denver based group are ready to shine again. The brand new songs we heard from this upcoming record, “Ophelia” and “Cleopatra“, dove much deeper than their initial singles – more intricate stories told through honest lyrics and building upon instrumentation they know works. Wesley Schultz, Jeremiah Fraites and Neyla Pekarek – the base trio – explained their infinite gratitude to their initial tracks which broke them, and how happy they are to

Weezer at Red Bull Soundspace at KROQ studios

Weezer Plays Intimate Show in Red Bull Soundspace at KROQ Studios

Justin Cornwall March 25, 2016

This Tuesday afternoon was made infinitely better thanks to our friends at Red Bull and KROQ! The two household-name brands teamed up a while ago to put together the Red Bull Sound Space – a full-fledged performance venue nestled in the back of the KROQ studio, where performances are broadcasted worldwide via the internet. Bands large (usually large) and small stop through on the invitation of the station to treat industry and fans to an intimate performance. You either win your way in via KROQ, or get invited, so everyone there is in an amazing mood. This Tuesday, in line with promoting The White Album and an upcoming co-headline tour with Panic! At The Disco, Weezer blew the hinges off the tiny room with a festival worthy set. The age of the crowd ranged from 8 to greyed executive, everyone was completely thrilled to be there. Rivers, Brian, Scott and Patrick took the stage like they were casually settling in for a jam session – no banter with the crowd, comfortably timid nods to screaming fanatics in the packed crowd – and within the first heavy riffs of ‘Hash Pipe’, they slammed us all into action. Following up with full

Live Stream: Cold War Kids Intimate Performance on Red Bull TV

Danny Baraz June 9, 2015

It’s hard to believe that June 15th will mark 10 years since Cold War Kids released their first EP, Mulberry Street. Since then they have fought the good fight of rock and roll bands in the main stream. Somehow, Cold War Kids are able to maintain their originality and edge and still sell records. They are a GREAT example of a band that can make money and still make good music. On Wednesday, June 10th at 2pm pacific time, Cold War Kids will enter Red Bull Sound Space at the KROQ radio station to play an intimate show for just 275 fans. Chances are you weren’t one of the lucky ones to win tickets to this event but you can stream this show LIVE and up to 24 hours after the show ends, right here on JankySmooth.com. I must say, I am thoroughly impressed with what Red Bull is doing in music. I was able to attend the Alabama Shakes Red Bull Sound Space performance last month but Janky Smooth was not cleared to shoot or write about that show. This time, Janky Smooth will be shooting the event along with a review of the performance. But why count on

Live Stream: Alabama Shakes Intimate Performance on Janky Smooth

Danny Baraz April 14, 2015

If you close your eyes and listen to Alabama Shakes you feel as if you have been transported to another era. It’s the type of music that transcends genre. Frontwoman, Brittany Howard’s voice is effortlessly epic- reminiscent of the tortured textures of the likes of Janis Joplin and Aretha Franklin. Today at 2pm pacific time, Alabama Shakes will be performing live for only 275 fans at Red Bull Sound Space located in the KROQ radio station’s broadcast facility in Culver City along with a Q and A with the band. Chances are that you are NOT one of the lucky fans selected to attend the show but you can stream the show LIVE, worldwide on JankySmooth.com and for 24 hours after the performance. I WILL be attending the show (nya nya nya) but media outlets such as Janky Smooth have been asked not to review or cover the performance in any way so make sure you don’t miss the live stream or the footage that will be looping for the next 24 hours. I’m beyond stoked that I will be able to live preview the new material from the new Alabama Shakes album, Sound and Color that is being released on

You can stream the AWOLNATION performance right here on Janky Smooth and it will be available for viewing for the next 24 hours. The standard Red Bull Channels Player.
