In particular, the end of their set with the mythical Bitter sweet symphony and the new single Love is noise has sent literally driven crazy the public.

Building on this success the group of Richard Ashcroft has published yesterday a new song that you can download for free but - attention - only eight days: is titled Mover, will not be included in the new album and can be downloaded at this address. For who reads English, at the NME is a beautiful live report of the evening of Glastonbury, a magical evening that it seems bodes well for the future of the band.

After the intense world tour, closed last April 19 in Costa Rica, the Smashing Pumpkins are preparing the celebrations for the 20-year career. It seems that the leader Billy Corgan has in mind several initiatives to celebrate magna pump in the two decades of activity.

But not all. According to published on smashingpumpkins.com Indeed, during 2008 will be reprinted the first official band album “Gish”, released back in 1991.

When Timoria is sciolsero, components of the band took very different roads. The most popular became certainly Francesco Renga whose turning more mainstream brought him even to win San Remo. Even Omar Pedrini continued alone, alternating music to different artistic projects, including the direction of the prestigious Music Art Brescia. Then there are the Miura, a group founded by Diego Galeri and Illorca respectively battery and a low of Timo. Less known, perhaps, despite those who have given more faith in that vein rock they were imposed.

Li had seen during their passage through Italy last year and seemed anything but fruit. Indeed, I had to grit surprised and very substantial technical skills and their rock over time become increasingly hard and processed.

Although the name Toto will no longer be used, the members of the band certainly continue on other roads: Lukather himself has confirmed that now devote soul and heart to his solo career. Below the video of one of their greatest successes “Rosanna” (dedicated to then companion, Steve Porcaro Rosanna Arquette), dall’album the 1982 Toto IV, sample collections.

So with the sun arrives in June to bomb the new single of the Kooks, the second extract dall’album Konk. This is Shine on, one of the most romantic songs of the album. A soft-rock ballad perfect to brighten the loves summer, those who are born on the beach under the moon, and that often last just the time of a song.
