Night Visions

Watch This + Tour Announcement: Imagine Dragons

Posted on by Kristen

One of my favorite bands from the KROQ Acoustic XMas extravaganza (pictures here and here) was definitely Imagine Dragons. It’s very gratifying to see one of you favorite “local bands” hit it so big.

There were a few big announcements this week from the Imagine Dragons camp. First, it was announced that the band’s debut album, Night Visions, has gone platinum. This was followed by the unveiling of the band’s video for “Radioactive”. Trust me, you’ll want to watch this…there is a killer teddy bear involved.

Finally, the first Imagine Dragons headlining tour! They’ve chosen some solid opening acts like Atlas Genius and Nico Vega. Here are the dates and venues:

New Music Tuesday 9/4/12 Featuring Imagine Dragons

Posted on by Kristen

There is probably a lot of great new music coming out today, but the one you absolutely need to get your hands on is the new Imagine Dragons CD, Night Visions. If you haven’t heard of this band, you’ve probably at least heard their songs on various movie trailers and TV show promos. They also snagged a MTV video music award nomination for their song “It’s Time” which will also be covered on an upcoming episode of Glee. In other words, this little rock band from Las Vegas has come a long way in the last year or so when I was rocking out with them at The Viper Room. They are one of my favorite rising bands and I couldn’t be happier for them!

Tonight, to celebrate their release, the band will be making an appearance on Jimmy Kimmel so tune in!

 

Here’s a picture I took of Imagine Dragons last night when they did an acoustic set at The 98.7 Penthouse:
