Some bands bring in everything but the kitchen sink, and somehow it works. Enter in Kalen and the Sky Thieves, one of Brooklyn's big rising rock acts.

4 Songs (from Eminem to 'Amazing Grace') Celebrating St. Valentine's Real Ability: Bringing Sight to Blind
Valentine's Day is a thing because no one knows what the real St. Valentine actually did. In fact, there are at least three St. Valentines. The best we can figure is that he channeled God and healed a girl's blindness once. Which is awesome. Music Times explores the theme in a less typical Valentine's Day playlist. -

Exposé Brings 30 Years of Girl Power to the Stage as They Dip Back Into the '80s With a Brand New Generation of Fans
So many great girl groups have come and gone over the years, but long before Fifth Harmony, Destiny's Child and even En Vogue took their turn as Billboard's hottest acts, there was Exposé. While Gioia Bruno, Ann Curless and Jeanette Jurado may have been first put together by a producer way back in 1985, they cemented their place in the record books pretty quickly. Their debut album Exposure first dropped in 1987, and they became the very first group in history to have four top ten singles from a debut effort, beating out legendary acts like The Supremes and even The Beatles. Exposé also became the first girl group in history to have seven back-to-back top ten hits on the Billboard Hot 100. -
Ukraine and 5 Other (Band) Situations Bound to Fall Apart: The Wu-Tang Clan, The Libertines and Everything Scott Weiland
Good news out of Eastern Europe today, as a group of the continent's leaders announced that a ceasefire had been reached between the government of Ukraine and the rebellious faction in the southeast of the country. You can probably hedge bets that shots will be fired soon enough however. After all, the last time the parties arrived at a ceasefire (September of 2014), it had collapsed by the end of the year. Other things that won't be surprising when they collapse: The reunions of these beloved bands. -
Jackie Robinson West Has Regional Championship Revoked: Awards Lost in Music, from Miley Cyus, Milli Vanilli and More
The Little League world took a turn for the sadder yesterday when it was announced that Jackie Robinson West, a team of youth baseball players from the South Side of Chicago, would have its 2014 Great Lakes Regional title revoked. In other words, the coach and other scheming adults incorporated children into a super-team. The players weren't aware what was going on but now they'll suffer the most disappointment, as will their hometown. The revocation of awards is more rare in the entertainment industry than the athletic industry. There are just only so many ways you can cheat. Nonetheless, it's happened. Here are five cases of an award or nomination being revoked in music.
