For fans of Lush: Check out Lush favorite, Emiliana Torrini, on her upcoming European tour.  

SomaFM got the lucky chance to see her at the San Francisco venue, Great American Music Hall, and were thoroughly impressed.  While many of Emiliana's tracks have a very structured, pop sensibility, her live set is markedly less rigid.  

Part of this is due to the bluesy nature of her accompanying band but it's also due in part to her adorable stage banter.  One would never expect a writer of sweet, sublime love songs like Emiliana's to make Spinal Tap references, but she does.  

Of course, the woman isn't all giggles and chuckles.  Her raw vocals and insistent side-to-side head shaking lend a heart wrenching vulnerability rare to an artist as seasoned as she. 

Check Emiliana's website for tour dates.  She is a must-see!

Congratulations to Miro, our Listener of the Month in August!

Miro is 19 years old, living in Finland and has just finished his photography degree.  He's been listening to SomaFM since the tender young age of 12.  Miro practically grew up with Drone Zone and according to his friend Harri, isn't shy about spreading the word. 

"When he told me about Drone Zone the first time, I was skeptic... but he kept telling us it's the best channel to listen to while sleeping, while eating, while ... living" - Harri

Cheers Miro!
