Latin folk duo Rodrigo y Gabriela are set to play the Rialto Theatre in July, apparently ending their boycott of Arizona as part of the Sound Strike movement.

The Mexico City pair made a name for themselves by playing the street of Dublin, eventually developing a cult following. With their 2006 self-titled record came even more recognition, and the two are now known for their percussive and technical playing styles that anyone would be surprised to hear coming from just two acoustic guitars.

Tickets for the July 17 show will go on sale this Friday, and can be picked up at the Rialto's website.

A new EP from Fleetwood Mac is set to drop any day now, shortly after the group embarked on their seven-month world tour in Columbus, Ohio on April 4.

The EP has no set release date or title yet, but has been foreshadowed by the band for quite some time: Stevie Nicks first mentioned that Fleetwood Mac was working on new material this winter in an interview with Rolling Stone before the band began rehearsals for the tour on February 15:

"We actually have two new Fleetwood Mac songs that I cut with Lindsey [Buckingham] two weeks ago we might play," says Nicks. "I had a really good time working with him for four days at his house. I got to hang out with his family and his kids, his grown up kids, and really connect with him again. We’re pretty proud of what we have done, and we’re looking at it through the eyes of wisdom now, instead of through the eyes of jealousy and resentment and anger."

Hey, fans of Austrian electroswing and ice cream: Next Friday, April 19, is your lucky day.

The Rialto Theatre announced via its Facebook page last Friday, April 5, that Austrian DJ Parov Stelar would be performing on April 19. Better yet, if you stop for dinner at HUB Restaurant & Creamery before the show and present your ticket, you'll get 25 percent off your dinner bill.

The band is on a brief tour of the western U.S. in between their stops at Coachella before hopping the pond for an extensive European tour. Their latest record, The Invisible Girl, was released earlier this year.

Tickets to the show can be picked up at the Rialto's website.

American rapper, Jake Miller released his new EP, “The Road Less Traveled" today.

In my humble opinion, I think it’s pretty damn good. He sounds like a more mature Justin Bieber, with much better lyrics, similar catchy beats, and significantly less auto-tune (sorry Beliebers).

Miller, a student at the University of Miami who grew up in Weston, Fla., taught himself to play the drums and guitar at a young age, according to his website. His first live performance was in March 2011, where he opened for Snoop Dogg in Pompano Beach, Florida. He also has played alongside other notable artists, such as Mac Miller, Flo Rida, Sean Kingston, and Asher Roth.

Earlier on Monday, The Maine tweeted out that they will be headlining the 8123 North America Tour this summer, beginning June 4 and ending on July 27.

We will be headlining the first ever @8123 tour this summer with 3 of our best friends! Get more info at 8123.me/tour
— The Maine (@themaine) April 8, 2013

The band, originally from the Phoenix area, first posted a video about their involvement in the afternoon. They told viewers that the opening bands on the tour would be announced every two hours Monday on the 8123 website.

Since then, they have announced that A Rocket to the Moon, This Century, and Brighten will be joining them on the summer tour. The last band was announced at 6 p.m.

The Maine recently completed their fourth studio album on April 2, tweeting "Album #4 is finished, mixed/mastered and ready for your ears! More info coming soon."

Althought details of the summer tour are limited for now, keep checking the 8123 website for dates and venues.

Below are the videos that the other performers posted today, announcing their involvement and excitement for the summer tour.

Check out this amazing video from the Latin Grammy nominated La Santa Cecilia. This Los Angeles band will be at the Rialto, Tuesday, April 9. Tickets are $10 presale or $15 at the door. They'll be playing with Santa Pachita, Vox Urbana, Salavdor Duran and Conjunto Imperial.

The video, sponsored by the the National Day Labor Organizing Network (NDLON), is for the group's new single "El Hielo" (I.C.E.). It was made in collaboration with director Alex Rivera, NDLON and La Santa Cecilia.

Former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher died today at the age of 87, and perhaps the best way to celebrate note her death is with music.

Flip through the music magazines of the era—NME, Melody Maker, even Smash Hits—and you’ll be astonished by the number of references to Thatcherism (do they even mention David Cameron these days?), with musicians organizing the unfortunately-named pressure group “Red Wedge,” organized by musician Billy Bragg and former Jam frontman Paul Weller, to oppose Thatcher’s rule.

Their politics were frequently confused and immature—and in Morrissey’s case, psychopathically radical, beginning with "Margaret on the Guillotine," which reminds us that the former Smith's lead singer never held back his hatred of the Iron Lady—but the songs were often exceptionally good. So The Daily Beast has assembled the era’s best anti-Thatcher songs of the Thatcher decade, from the obvious (Elvis Costello’s “Tramp Down the Dirt”) to the obscure (The Pop Group’s “Justice”).

You can listen to all the music selection right here:

Twenty-five years later, one can presume that the former Smiths frontman is experiencing a rare moment of good cheer. Because like many British musicians of the era, Morrissey was fond of excitedly presaging the Iron Lady’s demise. “The entire history of Margaret Thatcher is one of violence, oppression, and horror,” Morrissey once told Rolling Stone. “She is only one person and can be destroyed. I just pray there is a Sirhan Sirhan [RFK’s assassin] somewhere. It’s the only remedy for this country at the moment.” When in 1984 the Irish Republican Army exploded a massive bomb at a Conservative Party conference, killing five and disabling many others, he expressed his “sorrow” that “Thatcher escaped unscathed.” The British punk band Angelic Upstarts responded with a song cheering the Brighton attack (“killers unite / killers with the right!”).

My favorites — Morrissey, of course, but a ska-moving version of Dylan's "Maggie's Farm," from the Specials:

As someone whose recent concert experiences have been so marred by idiots holding up cameras during performances (I may have bruised a few peoples' ribs at the Childish Gambino show last April, for instance), this sign that the Yeah Yeah Yeahs introduced at their Webster Hall show this weekend is now the reason I'd go check out them in concert:

• Damn straight.

From SPIN.com:

Its full text:

"PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE SHOW THROUGH A SCREEN ON YOUR SMART DEVICE/CAMERA.

PUT THAT SHIT AWAY as a courtesy to the person behind you and to Nick, Karen and Brian.

MUCH LOVE AND MANY THANKS!

YEAH YEAH YEAHS"

Karen O reiterated the band's request at the top of the second song (an incredible rendition of Show Your Bones' "Gold Lion"), telling the crowd to snap away as much as they liked for the next few minutes, but then "put those motherfuckers away," mining as though she was holstering a phone on the side of her banana-yellow "Violent Fuzz" suit. SPIN spotted a few violators on the floor of the venue throughout the 16-song set — which featured the live debuts of two Mosquito tracks, "Slave" and "Wedding Song" — but for the most part, the crowd respected the band's wishes.

Good. Because this "recording shows with cell phones" bulllshit has become an epidemic, and I'm sick of it — and the worst part is, it's happening the most with my generation, who is apparently too enamored with uploading shitty cell phone video and audio to realize that they paid good damn money to enjoy a musician plying their trade.

Good on you, Yeah Yeah Yeahs. Let's hope this becomes a trend.

The new album, tying in with other Wayne lyrics, is no stranger to vulgarity. (In fact, if you look the album up on the ever so reliable Wikipedia, it has a count of all the the vulgar words and references, which is actually pretty comical. I don't know when skateboarding references became considered vulgar, though.)

His collaboration on the album with popular artists such as 2 Chainz, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and several other talents on the tracks brings an exciting flare to this album, the sequel to I Am Not A Human Being released in 2010.

"It's mixtape Weezy — straight street bangers you're going to hear in the club," Cortez Bryant, Wayne's manager and Chief Visionary Officer of his Young Money label, said according to Rolling Stone. "The sound is more urban, with no R&B hooks, and the wordplay is still incredible and shocking — every bar has some witty punchline. Wayne really took it back to his roots."

One of half-dozen or so widely influential songwriters who rose like a flying saucer out of West Texas in the 1980s, Robert Earl Keen brings to the Rialto a colorful array of songs about love, murder, good times, geography and the human condition. He might also sing a couple from his new record, Are You Ready for Confetti.

Last week he updated us on Guy Clark’s health, where he got his knack with a great story, some new trends in his writing and his quest for Charles Bowden.

Linda Ray: What do you remember from your previous visits to Tucson? Any anecdotes?

Robert Earl Keen: You know I've been through Tucson for a long time, from the mid-nineties. I think Tucson's … I like it it's a cool town. It's unique. The only thing that's frustrating is the grid and the lights. The downtown grid and the traffic lights.

Now what I'm really interested in, what is that play? Waiting for Godot? Or looking for somebody? I'm looking for Charles Bowden, is what I want to do now.

I almost had a revelation about Charles Bowden. Not about groundwater or bats or immigration or anything, but just the fact that how beautiful true journalism can be. (His work) completely changed my mind. Because I'd been, like, a fiction guy all my life and I love fiction. And was kind of snobbish about nonfiction and I read some of his stuff and just went “Wow!” This is the kind of writer I would like to be if I were a writer. He's fantastic.
