Wild Divas take to Barcelona

The capital of Catalonia is having a wild week and the weekend promises to be a smashing one. The city is full of events. One of them is the Fashion Film Festival, which finishes today and is hosted by Diane Pernet, the woman behind the nootoriouis fashion blog A Shaded View on Fashion.

The fashion and trend fair Brandery is another event in the agenda. During the day you can visit the stands and engage in the usual networking. At night there will be concerts and a promising one will be tomorrow night's concert by Fangoria, the band featuring the iconic Spanish singer Alaska.

And should you have some energy left, which I am sure you will, then do not miss the DJ set this Saturday too by Boy George at Cabaret Berlin, one of wildest clubs in town.

The return of Dead Can Dance

Dead Can Dance, one of the best bands from the 4AD label, the same label from the equally iconic band This Mortal Coil, wil be back on the road in 2012 and have just announced a new album. Lisa Gerrard and Brendan Perry formed the band in 1981 in Melbourne, Australia, having moved to London one year after, but the band split in 1998. "Rakim" is one of their finest moments. Enjoy it as an appetizer for of the most anxiously awaited world tours and album.
