Madrid will host a performance by The Drums, with the New York indie band due to be supported by fellow Americans Okkervil River.

2011-08-06

MADRID, SPAIN, August 06, 2011 (Press-News.org) Indie fans can look forward to a top night of rocking tunes later this year when The Drums and Okkervil River share the bill at Madrid's Teatro Circo Price.

The Heineken Music Selector event takes place on September 1st and may give attendees the chance to check out new material by The Drums, who are due to unveil their second album Portamento a few weeks later.

Earlier this year, the group released a single entitled The New World following the natural disaster in Japan.

The Drums' stripped-down sound has proved to be hugely popular in the past few years, but they recently announced that they have added Myles Matheny on guitar and bass, and Chris Stein on drums to form a five-piece.

Okkervil River have been around since 1998 and released their sixth full-length album in May 2011, which was called I Am Very Far.

They have toured with the likes of The National and The Decemberists in the past.

To reach the Teatro Circo Price, take the Metro to Embajadores, Lavapies or Atocha.

Admission starts from EUR25 (GBP21.80), with Okkervil River due to kick proceedings off at 21:00 local time.

LateRooms.com offers music enthusiasts a huge range of Madrid hotels to browse, such as the Westin Palace Madrid.

UCLA life scientists' study of abalone yields new insights into sexual reproduction

2011-08-06

In new research that could have implications for improving fertilization in humans and other mammals, life scientists studied interactions between individual sperm and eggs in red abalone, an ocean-dwelling snail, and made precise chemical measurements and physical models of these interactions. They are the first scientists to do so. By simulating the natural habitat of the abalone in the laboratory, the scientists were able to determine the conditions under which sperm–egg encounters and fertilization were most likely to occur. "If we can understand the basic physics, ...

Small interventions can alleviate underperformance caused by stereotype threat

2011-08-06

WASHINGTON – Picture black and white students at an Ivy League college learning about black students who are a year or so ahead of them in that school. They're told that the older black students were anxious about fitting in and how they would be viewed in college when they first arrived. But as the older black students got more involved in campus life, they began to find the school rewarding, even exciting as their life course took shape. "For the black kids who were given this narrative, their [grade point] averages in the next semester were a third of a letter grade ...

Researchers shed new light on predicting spinal disc degeneration

2011-08-06

About 80% of the active population suffers from low back pain at some point in their lives. In a paper published on August 4th 2011 in PLoS Computational Biology, researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) show that overloading on already degenerated discs is less damaging than on discs which are still healthy – and that changes in cell density in discs are fundamental to the process of disc degeneration. Back pain is closely related to ageing of the discs in the spine, a process characterized by a series of changes in their structure and function, ...

The brain grows while the body starves

2011-08-06

When developing babies are growth restricted in the womb, they are typically born with heads that are large relative to their bodies. The growing brain is protected at the expense of other, less critical organs. Now, researchers reporting in the August 5th issue of Cell, a Cell Press publication, unearth new molecular evidence that explains just how the brain is spared. In studies of rapidly growing fruit fly larvae, they've traced this developmental phenomenon to the activity of a gene called Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase (ALK). "ALK breaks the link between dietary nutrients ...
