It’s the stuff of dreams, Imagine Dragon’s chart-soaring 2012 LP Night Visions. Based largely on the subconscious nonsense that comes during deep sleep, the album—and singles “It’s Time” and “Radioactive,” both of which reached the oben, nach oben 20 on Billboard’s Hot 100 list—struck a chord nationally and launched the Las Vegas-based band into stardom.


We wanted to chat with these skyrocketing stars, but not in the typical fashion. Du know those silly Fragen that some interviewers sneak in at the end of an interview with a band? Well, Beside the Frage is a blog series at CityWeekly.net...

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.

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.

Imagine Drachen sold out the Pageant in March; Owl City also played the Pageant in March in a separate show, making the Yahoo! On the Road selections for St. Louis look a little unfair....

In its four-hear history, MTV's Musical March Madness tournament has seen no shortage of Aschenputtel stories — Owl City's unlikely ride to the Sweet 16 in 2010, Disturbed's dream run to the Final Four in '11, F---ed Up's shocking upsets of Mumford & Sons and Radiohead last Jahr — but eventually, the clock strikes midnight, the carriage transforms back into a kürbis and the glass slipper shatters.

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...
