He would catch a grenade for you and he thinks you’re beautiful just the way you are. Yep, that’s right, Bruno Mars is on a nationwide tour with Janelle Monae and they are hitting all the big cities.

Mars got his start songwriting for artists and when his songs became number one hits he decided that it was time to start his own career. He then collaborated with B.o.B. on the chart topping song, Nothin’ On You and also worked with Travie McCoy on the song, Billionaire. After his collaboration success, he decided to write his own album which has been nothing short of greatness. With his crooning voice and catchy lyrics you know this show will be a crowd pleaser.

Opening for Bruno Mars, is Janelle Monae, the R & B, indie pop singer. Monae has a very unique sound and blends the music of soul, funk, and indie pop. She has been nominated for multiple grammy awards and she is sure to put on a great performance.

The tour is nationwide but the show you will definitely not want to miss will be June 16, 2011 at the Las Vegas Palms hotel. What better way to celebrate summer than a trip to Las Vegas to see a fantastic performer. You can book a room at the beautiful Palms hotel in Las Vegas, see the show, and experience all that Vegas has to offer. The Palms is a beautiful hotel which offers immaculate rooms, fine dining, and entertainment. This is the perfect opportunity to see the concert you have been dying to see and have a little getaway for yourself too.

Check out this creative and unique visual mixer created by Christian Bannister. Bannister, of Subcycle Labs, set out to create a interactive interface that combined music visualization along with audio mixing. His efforts resulted in Steeplechase, a large multi-touch LCD screen that acts as a music visualizer and allows a DJ to mix in real time. Bannister created Steeplechase using Max MSP and Processing programs, two software programs that we will focus on in the future.  Bannister hopes this his programs can ultimately help audiences connect with both music and DJs more by allowing people to make a visual link to the DJ’s effect on music.
