Imagine Drachen - Machine (Live Origins Experience Las Vegas)

Von Alex Sousa, Managing Editor, @TwoFistedSousa


I saw Imagine Drachen over three years Vor at the Velour, a dimly lit and intimate Musik hovel in downtown Provo. That stage was small, the building had a 250 person capacity and the band was one that seemed to still be finding its direction. That was not the same band I saw tonight playing for a crowd of over 8,000 in a full-blown rock Zeigen at the UCCU Events Center.

I’m not talking about the changes they’ve made to their lineup. The Imagine Drachen of today are a fully realized indie rock ensemble whose Fan base has grown exponentially since...

Yahoo!, the mammoth online portal, is in the konzert biz now, with a new tour that played the Pageant on Wednesday night.
Yahoo! On the Road is hitting 27 cities; the twist is that each city gets a different headliner. John Legend, Kendrick Lamar, Fall Out Boy, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and the Lumineers are among the headliners in various cities. Imagine Drachen and Owl City performed at the St. Louis stop.

In other words, they've each come up short in their quest for the championship. But with the 2013 MMM tournament set to tip off Monday, March 18, there's a whole new group of upset-minded upstarts...

ONLY a handful of indie bands from the United States Zeigen promise in going mainstream and only the best remain relevant and popular.
Imagine Dragons, an indie rock band from Nevada, sets out to be different Von incorporating a unique sound in its identity. This is proven Von its chart-topping hits including It’s Time and Radioactive. The former is featured in the trailer for Perks Of Being A Wallflower, while the latter is part of the soundtrack for the Stephanie Meyer movie The Host.
The band is also known for its strong beats...

The Zeigen began with a small alternative band from Ames, Iowa-- The Envy Corps. With a Popkultur influence and a rock feel, the Musik was the perfect combination. They began with heavy bass that had the mosh pit shaking. Personally, I loved their strong, sharp strums in the Musik featuring harsh notes on their guitar. I had never heard one of their songs before, but Sekunden after hearing them, I was cheering. The crowd seemed to Liebe them too because I caught multiple people trying to Shazam their songs. Something I thoroughly enjoyed was their similar sound to Imagine Dragons, so it was a...
