On the heels of their most successful year to date, stadium-headlining electronic music group ABOVE & BEYOND recently released their latest single “Counting Down The Days.” The releasecompletes their ongoing narrative of classic movie-homage videos, drawing its inspiration from the quirky and cult romance movie of many twists (and days) 500 Days Of Summer. View the video now here: http://youtu.be/hS_vDkUpmaQ The latest single to be taken from their #1 Billboard dance/electronic album We Are All We Need, “Counting Down The Days” is also ABOVE & BEYOND’S first track to feature the vocals of former Mercury Music awards nominee Gemma Hayes. Over their four critically-acclaimed studio albums, along with their acoustic project, ABOVE & BEYOND have continually been celebrated for placing real musicianship and songwriting at the heart of what they do. While their famed club mixes have resonated with the dance generation, the songs behind them have touched fans of all ages across the globe. As influenced as much by Jeff Buckley or Bon Iver as they are by their deep love of electronic music, ABOVE & BEYOND‘s songs and lyrics have been sung back to them at the world’s biggest stadiums and stages – from Alexandra Palace, to Madison Square Garden, to LA’s Forum, to their famed one million people gig at Barra Beach in Rio de Janeiro in 2007.

DAYLIGHT Beach Club debuted 2013 at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino in Las Vegas as the first-of-its-kind revolutionary open-air entertainment and nightlife destination. The stylish, unprecedented space revolutionized the daylife and entertainment scene by combining the most sought-after DJ’s–Skrillex, Alesso, Sebastian Ingrosso, Axwell, Baauer and Nicky Romero, among others–with a specifically designed 5,000- capacity venue featuring a luxurious 4,400-square-foot pool, a 1,400-square-foot elevated stage with un-obstructed sightlines, daybeds, 23 private VIP cabanas, two private ultra VIP bungalows with private dipping pools, a deck area with 50 daybeds, top of the line LED screens, 25 u-shaped banquets with plush fabric, as well as signature cocktails and cuisine. A departure from traditional Vegas pool parties, DAYLIGHT became the ultimate outdoor destination under the sun or stars of Las Vegas. DAYLIGHT added two new VIP pools last summer, including a 448-square-foot pool to service the north side cabanas and a 245-square-foot pool to service the south-west side cabanas. In addition to the day parties to which Vegas goers have become accustomed, the beach club recently began hosting “Sundown,” a culmination of the best of underground house music with one of the most compelling natural occasions on the planet – the moment the sun sets behind the horizon and the day gives way to the night. Every Sunday, some of the most revered alternative DJs will take the stage at DAYLIGHT precisely as the sun is setting, crafting a harmoniously visual experience.

Alternative rock band LOTUS CRUSH-fronted by “The Voice” Season 3 runner-up Terry McDermott-are about to kick off their 17-date headlining “Hearts & Minds” U.S. tour this Monday, August 10 in support of new album Rabbit Hole out now on CaviGold Records. The origins of LOTUS CRUSH go back to 2006 when Scotland-born rock singer, songwriter, musician Terry McDermott was fronting the band Driveblind, who was on the road alongside multi-platinum alternative rockers Candlebox. Terry formed a close friendship with Candlebox guitarist Peter Klett and following the disbandment of Driveblind, the two began making music together. The result was 2011’s full-length Half Light Morning. Following the release of Half Light Morning, Klett returned to his Candlebox duties while McDermott competed on season 3 of NBC’s hit singing competition “The Voice,” where he came in second. In 2014, the opportunity arose to get back to work and they did just that at the iconic Robert Lang Studios in Washington with producer Todd Burman. Their album Rabbit Hole first premiered on Yahoo! Music/RollingStone.com before its official release April 14, 2015 on CaviGold Records. The band lineup is completed with rhythm guitarist/vocalist Island Styles and bass guitarist Mark Mattrey, with drummer Ehssan Karimi joining for this tour run.
