The boys of Jimmy Eat World are making a stop at the Factory to support their 6th album, Chase This Light, set to be released next month. Through the years and the albums, the band has gained the love of fans around the world, plus the admiration of critics alike. It must be their perfect blend of emo, pop and modern rock that has landed Jimmy Eat World a secure spot on the music map. Or, it could be their kick-ass live shows that include radio and fan favorites like the catchy-cool "The Middle." Whatever the reason, any music fan will tell you on November 10th, the Electric Factory is the place to be!

M.I.A. has been making the transition from underground sensation to mainstream darling since her 2003 debut Arular. Through internet file-sharing, word-of-mouth and DJ sampling, the Sri Lankan-British artist became a household name to international music listeners even before she graced a stage. But once fans saw M.I.A. perform, her live show reinforced their love of her unique sounds that create a genre orgy. It's songs like "Galang" that are heightening the senses of audiences with a 'bold, righteous amalgamation of hip-hop, electro, dancehall, grime, and baile funk.' [All Music]
Her message is of great appeal as well. Just like in Arular, M.I.A. has received critical acclaim for her new album Kala, which came out this summer.
