• Krewella Release New Single 'Say Goodbye,' Remain Silent on Lawsuit

    After much fanfare about potentially speaking out on their current lawsuit pending against them by former member Kristopher Trindl, Jahan and Yasmine Yousaf of Krewella went on Twitch, the popular video game streaming platform, to reveal a new song: "Say Goodbye." Instead of it being an interactive live stream, which they scheduled for yesterday, Nov. 23, at 5 p.m. PST, it was just an initial play of their new single "Say Goodbye."Over the past few days, Krewella have been back in the headlines after the initial shock of Trindl's allegations wore off. The sisters filed their own counterclaim to Trindl's lawsuit, and then on Friday updated their Facebook page with a new logo and cryptic photo with the words "Say Goodbye" written faintly in white over a black background.These recent events have put the three of them back in the spotlight, and with the new Krewella single it appears the sisters are moving on from Kris "Rain Man" Trindl's involvement in the group. The track has an emo punk rock sound, mixed with some elements of drum and bass and hard-hitting electronic riffs.It carries a lot of emotion, epitomized by the chorus:

  • Krewella File Counterclaim, To Speak Out at 5 p.m. PST; deadmau5 Responds

    After breaking their silence on Facebook with a cryptic message telling their fans to "Say Goodbye," Krewella have brought the fight back to the courtroom with a lawsuit of their own against Kris Trindl, the former third member of the group. Jahan Yousaf and Yasmine Yousaf, the sister duo who remain in Krewella, have alleged in their counterclaim that Trindl's allegations are baseless and look to show he was not integral to the group, prompting deadmau5 to respond.First reported by "The Hollywood Reporter," the claims filed in Los Angeles court detail close to two years of alleged negligent behavior that look to paint him as someone unable and unwilling to do the work required for Krewella. The 22-page court document recounts a period overt the past two years where Trindl was largely absent from studio sessions and unable to DJ because he was either too intoxicated or simply had not learned how to.As the court documents state, "While on stage, Kris would generally stand to the side of Jahan and Yasmine and pump his arms, while pretending to DJ; he was onstage primarily for the sake of image. Because Kris did not know how to DJ, he only had two effect buttons."The counterclaim also alleges that Trindl, producer for the group, actually did little producing on their artist album "Get Wet" and only wholly contributed to one song, though he received producing credits on all the tracks.The two lawsuits agree on the fact that Trindl had a substance abuse problem, but the Yousaf sisters tell a different story with how he received help. The counterclaim portrays him as uncooperative with attempts by Jahan and Yasmine to give him help with his alcohol addiction.The sisters will be speaking out today at 5 p.m. PST to give their side of the story during a live stream event on Twitch. In addition to the counterclaim filed in L.A. court, we will see what they have to say on the lawsuit, giving the situation a more human touch. They also may comment on upcoming releases and give some clarity to their "Say Goodbye" photo.Deadmau5, who has been quite vocal about this whole situation, took to his favorite medium of communication — Twitter — to share his thoughts on the situation.

  • Krewella 'Say Goodbye' With Cryptic Photos; Deadmau5 Responds

    Jahan and Yasmine have been quiet since the allegations rose against them by former member of the trio Kris Trindel aka Rain Man that he was being forced out of Krewella for not partying enough and denied his proper share of the earnings the group was accruing from touring. Now the sisters have broken their silence and taken to Facebook with a cryptic message "Say Goodbye" that could be aimed at Trindl. Before fans had much time to interpret the message, they posted another picture with their new logo, squashing any notion that "Say Goodbye" could mean the end of Krewella.

  • Spotify and Halloween Music: Michael Jackson, Bobby "Boris" Pickett and 'The Nightmare Before Christmas' Top Holiday Streams

    SPSpotify's Insights blog, like any site that depends on music for its readership, went with a Halloween-themed feature as October came to a close.

It was fairly predictable, but you can check out the list below, along with the occasional note from Music Times.

  • Former Krewella Member Kris Trindl Accuses Yousaf Sisters of Unfairly Kicking Him Out for Profit and Because of Alcohol Rehabilitation

    Music Times caught Krewella at Lollapalooza this summer and it didn't seem like the band was in any trouble. Less than a month later however it seems that two of the founding members-Yousaf sisters Jahan and Yasmine-allegedly plotted to kick producer and songwriter Kris Trindl out of the group...either for profit or because he had become a bore. A lawsuit filed by Trindl seems to suggest both.

  • Red Rocks Amphitheater and Global Dub Festival may be threatened by residents sick of sub-bass

    The most popular complaint against music venues is that they're just too loud (followed closely by "patrons behaving badly"), and Red Rocks Amphitheatre in Colorado is facing similar charges. Residents of nearby Morrison have claimed that concerts are keeping them awake and even rattling the windows of homes as far as half-a-mile from Red Rocks. And of course the culprit isn't just any form of music: It's EDM.
