State of BengalNOW spotlights Sam Zaman, aka State of Bengal, who'll be doing a show this Saturday May 28th in Toronto at Yonge-Dundas Square as part of the South Asian Heritage Festival. The Hangama! party as it's been dubbed will also feature DJ DK with Dave Sharma, JoSH, and Shiva Sound System with Vineet Vyas. Hey, it's free and it'll be an opportunity to broaden your musical horizons. [photo from http://../]

Brooklynvegan ponders whether there's any more bands left to book for this year's Siren Music Festival. The Siren website has yet to confirm a lineup and Chicago's Pitchfork-procured Intonation Festival(which has already snagged and confirmed it's own tasty lineup) is scheduled for July 16th the same day as the Siren Music Festival.

Yo la Tengo have redesigned their website. Well, sort of.

Scotland's Sons and Daughters will perform a live session for BBC 6 Music's Gideon Coe, tomorrow May 26th. Sessions start around the 20:40:00 mark(about 8:40 London, England time or about 2:40 Eastern Standard Time). Sessions usually are archived in the future.

Billboard reports that Royksopp should be hitting North American shores this fall for a tour. The band'll release their new album "The Understanding" on July 12th through Astralwerks.

Teaching the Indie Kids to Dance Again, Largehearted Boy and chromewaves get mentioned in this week's edition of eye's Totally Wired. Note to staff(or at least the web programmers) over at eye: how about hyperlinking to the blogs next time, hmmm?
