Word started to spread via social media early on Sunday afternoon that Sky Ferreria’s 6 p.m. slot on the Blue Stage at Fun Fun Fun Fest was being scrapped due to a flight delay. An alternate set was immediately scheduled for 9:30 tonight at the Belmont. Moved from a festival stage to a much more intimate show, it was a total upgrade for fans.

24-year-old Canadian producer Ryan Hemsworth has been making a name for himself with his bedroom electro-pop and by dropping cool remixes of tracks by Beyonce, Disclosure and Lana Del Rey.

In the middle of the day there wasn’t much to look at, but there was …

What they have done this year is reissue 1996’s “The Lonesome Crowded …

The band’s lineup has changed considerably from when they first broke out in 2009 with their self-titled debut record. The only original member in the band now is chief songwriter …
