THIS WEEKS MUSIC NEWS (16TH MARCH)

This week the line-up for Reading & Leeds festival was announced with The Cure, Foo Fighters and Kasabian set to headline.The festival will take place during the August bank holiday weekend (24-26th.) You can see the full line-up below.

I'm sure everybody would think the highest earning British musician in America last year is Adele, however in actual face singer Sade beat her to the crown. Sade is said to have earned £10.5 million through touring and her CD 'The Ultimate Collection.'

New music releases this week include albums from Marcus Collins, Estelle and Michael Kiwanuka and singles include releases from Jay-Z & Kanye, The Maccabees, Miike Snow & M.I.A. This weeks midweek charts see Gotye hanging onto their top spot in the singles chart for the third week running and Bruce Springsteen topping the album chart.



And finally for this weeks weird and wacky video. This week we have a Skateboarder/Parkourer (is that a word?) Just watch and be amazed!

10 FOR TUESDAYS - ASYLUM PART TWO

What do you think are the most unique challenges faced by an indie artist?

Indie music is so samey these days, it’s a matter of keeping it fresh. I honestly despair at some bands because its the same old song just different people doing it, hence why I have massive love for music in the 70s and 80s...it seemed to mean more then, and as a band we try to get that across...music means something to us. Not just money...we make music because we really do love it.

If you were stuck on a desert island, who would you want to be stuck with, musicians or otherwise?

I would love to be stuck on an island with Jimi Hendrix. I don’t think that needs explaining does it? And John Bonham...the best drummer ever...machine!!!
