IS ATLANTIC CITY IN THE CARDS FOR AUGUST?

A cautionary post:

Earlier today a website by the name "CheapAtlanticCity" which looks essentially like a discount hotel room broker that also brokers tickets for concerts and entertainment shows in Atlantic City posted that they have or will have concert tickets for sale for a Stevie Nicks show August 27th. at Trump Taj-Mahal.

If you caught my tweet earlier in the evening I asked if this was bogus or not.. It seems a bit odd and random, but could be the first sign of some east coast shows coming late summer for Stevie. It's still not confirmed as far as ticket availability or sale dates - so until it is take this for what it is - a cautionary post, and let's see if some other shows appear elsewhere in the east to back-up this info. I can't really see Stevie getting it together just for one show across the country from where she's based - but stranger things have happened.

STEVIE NICKS IDOLIZED BY FLORENCE & THE MACHINE'S FRONT WOMAN

Delicate and ferocious, powerful yet vulnerable, 80's riot girl meets '90's Lilith Fair, Florence and the Machine's music can go from one extreme to the other in an instant of juxtaposing sounds and emotions driven by front woman Florence Welch's voice. The easiest way to describe them: Pretty with a punch.
The British band's debut album "Lungs" on Universal Republic has been a huge breakout, spurring buzz in both the UK and the US. They've recently embarked on their first US tour, starting in New York with two sold out shows at Le Poisson Rouge and Terminal 5. And playing across the country with a stop at Coachella Music & Arts Festival.

"I get inspirations from all over the place," says Florence.

However, her music idol of all-time is Stevie Nicks.
"I'm pretty obsessed with Stevie Nicks from her style to her voice. I like watching her on YouTube and her old performances, the way she moves and everything," she says.

MATES OF STATE COVER FLEETWOOD MAC

Indie group Mates Of State's covers album "Crushes The Covers Mixtape" will be released this summer.  Included is a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Second Hand News".  Hit the link to listen to the first track released from the cd "Laura".  Looking forward to hearing their cover.  By the sound of their two voices together they'll likely do the song justice.
