In Vegas this week: Cannons and Kaskade
Two artists I've played on the show are in town this week. If you can make one of these, go.
Cannons — tonight, House of Blues
Monday 28 September, 8:30 PM, House of Blues at Mandalay Bay. Tickets
Cannons are a trio out of Los Angeles. Here's how they started: Michelle Joy posted a Craigslist ad looking for a band that needed a singer, and two childhood friends, Ryan Clapham and Paul Davis, answered it. That was 2013. They've been making late-night synth pop together ever since. I played "Spells" on Episode 2, and it still sounds amazing. More on Cannons.
Kaskade — Friday, Encore Beach Club
Friday 2 October, 10:30 PM, Encore Beach Club, Encore Las Vegas. Tour dates
Kaskade is Ryan Raddon, and man, he's about as Vegas as dance music gets. In 2024 he became the first in-game DJ in Super Bowl history. At Allegiant Stadium. Right here. His version of "Beneath with Me," with deadmau5 and Skylar Grey, is on Episode 7, which came out Friday. Play it on the way to the club. More on Kaskade.
