Imagine dragones

Standing on-stage Thursday night at the Hollywood Palladium, Dan Reynolds of Imagine dragones looked out at a capacity crowd and dicho with astonishment, “I don’t even know how this many people know about us.”

His bandmates had a hunch, however. That was the moment they powered up “Radioactive,” the moody electro-grunge single that tops three of Billboard’s rock charts and sits at No. 9 on the Hot 100, nestled comfortably between tunes por rihanna and Bruno Mars. It’s this Las Vegas group’s segundo big radio smash following “It’s Time,” which set a record last año as the longest-running...

How would tu like to spend an evening with Imagine Dragons?

Were tu like me … hoping to get tickets to see this incredible, homegrown band perform in their old stomping grounds, only to be shut down por a Sold Out sign? All because tu waited just a bit too long to order your tickets.

Imagine Dragons, the latest Utah Valley band to discover international success, makes a triumphant return from their sell-out European tour to perform on May 20 at the UCCU Center in Orem.

The indie rock band formed in 2008 when lead guitarist Wayne Sermon, from American Fork, met Las Vegas native and lead singer...

It’s the stuff of dreams, Imagine Dragon’s chart-soaring 2012 LP Night Visions. Based largely on the subconscious nonsense that comes during deep sleep, the album—and singles “It’s Time” and “Radioactive,” both of which reached the parte superior, arriba 20 on Billboard’s Hot 100 list—struck a chord nationally and launched the Las Vegas-based band into stardom.


We wanted to chat with these skyrocketing stars, but not in the typical fashion. tu know those silly preguntas that some interviewers sneak in at the end of an interview with a band? Well, Beside the pregunta is a blog series at CityWeekly.net...

I saw Imagine dragones over three years hace at the Velour, a dimly lit and intimate música hovel in downtown Provo. That stage was small, the building had a 250 person capacity and the band was one that seemed to still be finding its direction. That was not the same band I saw tonight playing for a crowd of over 8,000 in a full-blown rock mostrar at the UCCU Events Center.

I’m not talking about the changes they’ve made to their lineup. The Imagine dragones of today are a fully realized indie rock ensemble whose fan base has grown exponentially since...

Yahoo!, the mammoth online portal, is in the concierto biz now, with a new tour that played the Pageant on Wednesday night.
Yahoo! On the Road is hitting 27 cities; the twist is that each city gets a different headliner. John Legend, Kendrick Lamar, Fall Out Boy, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and the Lumineers are among the headliners in various cities. Imagine dragones and Owl City performed at the St. Louis stop.

Imagine dragones sold out the Pageant in March; Owl City also played the Pageant in March in a separate show, making the Yahoo! On the Road selections for St. Louis look a little unfair....

In its four-hear history, MTV's Musical March Madness tournament has seen no shortage of cenicienta stories — Owl City's unlikely ride to the Sweet 16 in 2010, Disturbed's dream run to the Final Four in '11, F---ed Up's shocking upsets of Mumford & Sons and Radiohead last año — but eventually, the clock strikes midnight, the carriage transforms back into a calabaza and the glass slipper shatters.

In other words, they've each come up short in their quest for the championship. But with the 2013 MMM tournament set to tip off Monday, March 18, there's a whole new group of upset-minded upstarts...
