Why the lack of posts the past few days, It’s because The Maroon Cafe is on the road this week. Our interns and other employees seem to be lacking on our posts, so I’m going to link you up with something to listen to during Memorial Day Weekend. Major Lazer and La Roux have hooked

Introducing Leah Mason
Rarely do we introduce an artists without any audio (in fact never) to back up our posts, but in this case we’ll make an exception.

The Black Keys | Tighten Up [Live on Letterman]
The Black Keys stopped by Letterman to perform their single, Tighten Up. Awesome live performance. Their latest CD, Brothers is in stores now, and we highly recommend it.
Mark Ronson | Bang Bang Bang feat Q-Tip [Audio]
Couldn’t resist throwing this picture up. Mark Ronson recruits the services of Q-Tip for his track Bang Bang Bang for Ronson’s upcoming album, which is due this September.

Lissie and Imogen Heaps little sister Ellie Goulding recently teamed up on stage for an unexpected collab effort of “Everywhere I Go.” Apparently the world is catching on faster than what we expected,
Donnis | Yup [Audio]
Hollywood Q has pegged Donnis as the next and upcoming rapper to blow up, and I kinda agree with him. Fool’s Gold familia, Donnis, has a busy day coming up next month.
