VMA: Vote Muse, America
While everyone else may be talking about Kanye's comments or Beyonce's performance at the MTV Video Music Awards, I want to take a moment to put the spotlight on Muse. Their performance during the show was the highlight of the night for me. The awards itself didn't interest me much (except the much deserved win by Green Day for their 21 Guns video). The only time I really got excited was when I heard Matthew Bellamy's enchanting voice sing its first notes on American television. Yes, this was Muse's first appearance on American TV. This band from the UK has always been more popular overseas than here. They are currently on tour as support for U2 and have sold out two dates at Giants Stadium later this month, but that was more because of who they are touring with than their own popularity here. My hope is that they are finally starting to breakout in the US and that we will consequently get to see more of them here.

Yes! This is awesome. I think this is worthy news more folks should recognize. It's a non-American band's first time on American TV, that's a pretty big deal. Thanks for bringing this up, for the love of music at StarBeat sends her warmest smile your way.
ReplyDeleteMUSE is an excellent, exciting progressive rock band with an amazing new album RESISTANCE. I saw them at Madison Square Garden with Cold War Kids a few years and they put on an excellent show and they seemed to sell a decent amount of seats. We need to see them headline again.
