It's fairly simple. Derek and Scott are GODS OF HEAVEN TRAP. If they're performing near you, it would be TREACHERY if you didn't buy a ticket and persuade your entire circle of friends to go. I've had the honor of seeing them 3 times now... and each time, I came away a changed being. It doesn't even matter if you're not into the EDM or TRVP scene.. you will come away a fan. I guarantee these guys will change your life. BUY TICKETS NOW.

Slander absolutely slayed Lost Lands 2021!! They dropped "suffer" as a "one more song" mix and it blew my damn mind. I couldn't believe their energy...that feeling is the best feeling in the world. I stood there looking around just overwhelmed by the energy...I could of died at tht moment and it would of been heaven!!! Absolutely catching them when they come to Kalamazoo Michigan this year!!! 2022 baybay!!!

You guys threw down, but over all dissapointed, the transitions were terrible. You guys also stopped a lot. A lot of my friends came out to see you and were upset with some of what you did, it was nothing like your guys EDCLV set. If I hear good stuff like that, I'm expecting it anytime and anywhere I see you. Hopefully next time I see you guys I'll be surprised.

Absolutely stunning. Th energy was crazy and they brought the atom. It was so sick and would def go again.?We didn’t have a alot of room for most of the show due to the venue not being made for as many people showed up. We still have fun because slander never fails!

I'm still buzzing after how amazing it was to see these dudes 15 feet away. I always listened to their radio shows with NGHTMRE... but they blew me out of the water with how f***ing awesome they were. Plzzzzzz play longer next time!

Slander killed it. They brought out Sullivan king and kayzo. So amazing! And the venue was incredible. One of the best performances I've ever seen. Loved it so much and would definitely go back without question!

Amazing show! Dubsteb, Trap, Heaven Trap, pure Energy! If you love singing, headbanging and party then you need to see SLANDER live. Incredible night & incredible show. 10/10 would reccomend to everyone.

Not so much a review of Slander as Songkick. Got an email from SongKick asking for reviews of the show. Seems kind of odd to prompt for reviews of a show that was canceled due to a hurricane.

SLANDER Announces North American Chimera Tour

SLANDER reveals the dates for their monstrous Chimera Tour that will take place in cities across North America this fall.

Melodic-bass bravados Derek Anderson and Scott Land , better recognized as their stage alter SLANDER , have seen a series of successes via their extraordinary discography and frequently sold-out shows. An envious list of festival slots worldwide at Tomorrowland , Ultra Music Festival , EDC Las Vegas , and Lollapalooza have only seen their fanbase and creative explorations explode to even larger sizes. Now, they’re set to embark on the 17-date Chimera Tour that will take place this fall.

Known for their high-level production values, SLANDER has noted that the Chimera Tour’s two-year creative process provides an all-new experience for fans to absorb. Having recently announced that they sold more tickets than any other headlining DJ in Southern California during the on-sale for their LA Convention Center show, it’s no surprise that listeners are hot on the duo’s heels for more. Social media teases leading up to today’s Chimera Tour announcement make the news extra juicy, even in a week full of fall tour announcements.

The Chimera Tour will kick off with a doubleheader at the LA Convention Center on August 25- 26 and will see support from A Hundred Drums , Dabin , Space Laces , Trivecta , Kill the Noise , and many more as it crosses North America. Canadian fans will get some love via a Toronto stop, and the tour offers some impressive coverage stateside with Red Rocks on the horizon as well as double nights at Chicago’s Aragon Ballroom and Minneapolis’ Armory. Stay tuned for the three hidden dates to be revealed.

The pre-sale for SLANDER’s Chimera Tour launches Wednesday, July 26, with additional presales running throughout the week before the general sale begins on Friday, July 28, at 10 AM local time.

Slander Reveals Brand New Audio Visual Show Experience and North America Tour Dates

Slander announces their chimera tour,  a brand new audio-visual experience set to take north america in 2023..

Slander is taking the tail end of 2023 by storm. On July 18, the American duo Derek Andersen and Scott Land announced their new Chimera Tour. Taking over North America with an immersive audio-visual experience that’s been in the making for over 2 years, Slander reveals never before seen production and an incredible lineup of opening artists.

What began as Slander’s A Better World event at the LA Convention Center has transformed into the Chimera Tour. Originally, the single-night show was set for August 25. It quickly sold out and was extended for a second night. Shortly after, Slander announced that these dates are actually leading off the debut of their audio-visual experience. Stopping at legendary venues including the Tacoma Dome, The Brooklyn Mirage , and Red Rocks Amphitheater , the Chimera Tour still has three locations yet to be announced and will finish on December 2 at The Armory in Minneapolis. 

Slander stacked their all-new immersive show with an extensive list of opening acts. The lineup features A Hundred Drums , Kill The Noise , Riot, Saka, Space Laces, Trivecta , Zomboy , and many more. A display of diversity, this selection of openers is hinting at what fans can expect to hear at Slander’s Chimera Tour. 

As excitement builds on social media, one fan on Twitter comments, “I can’t physically process how I’m going to see slander AND Trivecta at the same NIGHT at RED ROCKS! At least I have a few months to get my body prepared.” Another fan responds, “CHICAGO BABY FINALLLLLLY SO EXCITED! Two nights at the Aragon lfg.”

View this post on Instagram A post shared by SLANDER (@slanderofficial)

Known for marrying euphoric melodies and trap-inspired beats, Slander is a household name for their iconic style. In 2016, the American duo blew up after releasing a single collaboration with NGHTMRE , “Gud Vibrations.” The track immediately became an electronic music anthem and took on a life of its own. This propelled them into stardom and they haven’t stopped since. 

Now, Slander is setting the tone for the future with audio-visual components and enhanced production. With their first LP “Thrive,” the 2023 single “Wish I Could Forget” featuring blackbear and Bring Me The Horizon, and more in their arsenal, Slander is preparing to sling a variety of sounds at the Chimera Tour. 

Presale tickets for the Chimera Tour will be released on July 26. Sign up here.

Bennett battles to fourth as Philipsen wins Tour de France stage 16

BELGIAN JASPER PHILIPSEN won a bunch sprint on stage 16 of the Tour de France at Nimes on Tuesday while his green sprint points jersey rival Biniam Girmay fell in the final dash.

Ireland’s Sam Bennett was fourth after a sprint finish, moving him to 13th in the green jersey standings. Ben Healy came in 96th and is 13th overall in the general classification.

Overnight leader Tadej Pogacar has a 3 minute 09 second advantage over defending champion Jonas Vingegaard while Remco Evenepoel remains third at 5min 19sec.

Last year’s green jersey winner Philipsen and Girmay both have three stage wins each, but the Eritrean leads the rankings for the green jersey this year on 376pts to 344pts.

Philipsen takes another win on Stage 16 at the Tour de France! pic.twitter.com/IaBNlKCrq5 — Eurosport (@eurosport) July 16, 2024

Girmay, however, fell at a roundabout less than 2 kilometres out with two Education First riders and was unable to compete in the sprint for the line.

His elbow was bleeding but the 24-year-old managed to remount and cruise home with a couple of team-mates, albeit ashen-faced.

“It’s close, so we’ll be playing it day by day now… You don’t like to see anyone fall, I hope he can carry on,” said Philipsen, who topped 70kph (43mph) as he raced over the line.

“Victories are hard to come by on the Tour de France so a third one is amazing,” added the Belgian, who was led out by world champion Mathieu van der Poel.

Van der Poel is one of the favourites for the Olympic Games road race in Paris in two weeks’ time.

Because of the Olympics, this year’s Tour de France will finish in Nice on Sunday — meaning there will be no final day dash down the iconic Champs Elysees.

Pogacar mentioned this after Tuesday’s race.

“It’s a shame for the sprinters not to have the final day sprint, they don’t have that much motivation to finish the race but I hope they come all the way with us,” said the yellow jersey holder.

Germany’s Phil Bauhaus was second and Norway’s Alexander Kristoff was third.

Kristoff rides for Norwegian outfit Uno-X, two of whose team cars narrowly avoided a crash at a roundabout late in the race.

One of those cars had Johannes Kulset right behind it riding at 60kph.

The 24-year-old Evenepoel, on his first Tour de France, leads the white jersey standings — for the outstanding young rider — by over six minutes from Ineos’ Spanish rider Carlos Rodriguez.

The Tour de France race organisers extended the feared time cut Sunday to allow Mark Cavendish and other haggard stragglers to remain on the race and compete in Tuesday’s flat stage, where 152 survivors of the first 15 stages departed.

Tuesday’s race was the last of the sprint stages with mountains galore on the menu from now on.

The race left the Gruissan salt basin with the mercury tipping 30 degrees Celsius (86 Fahrenheit) as the peloton rolled through the vineyards of the Aude region at speeds that fluctuated with the direction of the wind.

Adam Sandler's daughter Sunny, 15, is already TALLER than the comedian, 57, as they pose at the 2024 Kids' Choice Awards in Los Angeles

• Have YOU got a story? Email [email protected] 

Adam Sandler 's daughters sure are growing up.

One of them is even taller than the 57-year-old actor, who is best known for the films Murder Mystery with Jennifer Aniston and The Wedding Singer with Drew Barrymore .

On Saturday, his 15-year-old daughter Sunny - who is already acting in films - stood inches taller than the Hollywood veteran.

Granted, she was wearing white high heels. But even if she took them off she appeared to be just as tall or even slightly taller than him.

They were joined by his wife Jackie, 49, and his other daughter Sadie, 18.

They were attending the  2024  Kids' Choice Awards  in Los Angeles .

The Big Daddy star rocked his signature mismatched, carefree style as he wore a beige baseball cap, colorful shirt, and pinstripe shorts.

He added long white socks and green, white, and blue sneakers.

Meanwhile, his stunning daughters wowed in dresses — one modeled a strapless black mini dress while the other turned heads in a strapless, satin, blue number.

Like her daughter, Jackie also opted for a black mini dress; hers boasted floral straps.

She wore flat, black sandals, flashing her glossy red pedicure in the stylish footwear.

The 37th Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards were held at the Pauley Pavilion.

This year's ceremony celebrated the 25th anniversary of SpongeBob SquarePants.

The star-studded event was hosted by the titular character and Patrick Star, with Tom Kenny and Bill Fagerbakke reprising their roles.

It marks the first time the ceremony has featured virtual hosts.

Taylor Swift led the nominations with a total of six nods.

She was followed by Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Olivia Rodrigo and Justin Timberlake, who had four nods each.

Swift's boyfriend, Travis Kelce, was also a nominee in the Favorite Male Sports Star category.

Two of the 34-year-old singer-songwriter's nominations was for for Favorite Female Artist and Favorite Album for The Tortured Poets Department: The Anthology.

She was also recognized for Favorite Global Music Star as well as Favorite Ticket (Tour) of the Year for her record-breaking The Eras Tour production.

The superstar also has two nominations in the favorite music collaboration category for her song Fortnight with Post Malone and her remix of Karma with Ice Spice.

Deshaun Watson Shares Message For Anyone Doubting Browns RB Nick Chubb

Spencer german | 14 hours ago.

• Cleveland Browns

It's unwise to bet against Nick Chubb . Which is why his status following a gruesome knee injury last season is one of the biggest storylines surrounding the Cleveland Browns ahead of training camp.

The 28-year-old's recovery from two ligament surgeries has been well documented throughout the offseason. Just this week a viral video showed Chubb squatting more than 500 pounds only eight months after the second of his two knee surgeries. The clip fired up Browns fans who hope it's a sign he may be ready for Week 1 of the season.

#Browns QB Deshaun Watson had what felt like some reassuring comments on the Amari Cooper situation, one week out from training camp: https://t.co/O1eOYUTmRO — 𝚂𝚙𝚎𝚗𝚌𝚎𝚛 𝙶𝚎𝚛𝚖𝚊𝚗 (@Spencito_) July 17, 2024

That still may be a little ambitious in terms of a return date and, of course, there's no guarantee Chubb will be the same player he used to be after the third serious knee injury of his career. Star quarterback Deshaun Watson said at his foundation's 7-on-7 tournament for local high school players on Wednesday though, that nobody should be counting out Chub.

"No one on our team ever doubted Chubb," Watson affirmed. "If you have any doubts with Chubb then I think you're supporting the wrong organization."

The Browns showed just how much they still believe in the four-time Pro Bowler earlier this offseason when they reworked his contract to ensure he'd be back with the team. With his initial deal Cleveland could have saved around $12 million by simply releasing Chubb. Instead they dropped his cap hit down from nearly $16 million to just $6 in 2024, while allowing Chubb an opportunity to earn the rest of the money back in incentives. It was the best case scenario for both sides.

Now Chubb is on a mission to prove those who are doubting him wrong. Speaking for the first time since the injury back in June, Chubb didn't shy away from the fact that he's seen people questioning his ability to bounce back. He's using it as motivation.

Inside the building though, Watson says any Chubb slander is just white noise.

"This culture is where it needs to be and it's going in the right direction," said Watson. "I think not just me but multiple guys, multiple coaches and if you don't see that then you're supporting the wrong organization. We don't accept any negative energy."

There may be a better sense of where Chubb is at in his recovery next week when the team opens up training camp at the Greenbrier Resort in West Virginia.

Serial sperm donor Jonathan Meijer slams Netflix docuseries, threatens slander suit

Jonathan Meijer, the prolific sperm donor who became the subject of Netflix’s latest hit docuseries, lambasted the show’s portrayal of him and said he is preparing a slander suit.

Released Wednesday, “The Man With 1000 Kids” interviews various couples and individual women who discovered that their sperm donor, Meijer, had fathered hundreds of children around the world through multiple sperm banks and private donations — giving rise to a risk of inbreeding among half siblings who may have no idea they are related.

Meijer, who did not participate in the docuseries, has claimed he has fathered approximately 550 children, not 1,000 as the title suggested. But the documentary alleges he lied to many families about the number of offspring he had produced.

Responding to the docuseries online, Meijer said in a YouTube video last week that when he first began donating, he did tell families the exact number of children he had helped create. But he later chose to stop giving out the real estimate.

“Technically I did not lie,” Meijer told NBC News in an email Monday. “I followed the guidelines of every large commercial international sperm bank that does not inform the recipients about the amount of offspring one donor will produce,” Meijer wrote, adding, “I was doing a much better thing, I gave the parents an estimated number, this was better and more info than they would ever get at any clinic.”

Eve Wiley, a fertility fraud activist who Meijer said has “nothing to do with [him],” estimated in the show that Meijer could have fathered thousands of children, depending on how many straws of his sperm were successfully used to conceive.

“What happens psychologically to these children that have 700, 800, 900 brothers and sisters?” Kate, an Australian mother who found Meijer through Denmark-based Cryos, the largest international sperm and egg bank in the world, said in the show. “How are they psychologically going to be able to deal with this information?”

In multiple videos posted to his YouTube channel last week, Meijer slammed the docuseries’ characterization of his motives.

“‘What kind of man would do that?’” Meijer said in a video , mimicking a line from the documentary’s trailer. “Well, it has to be a man that’s willing to help others, and a man that sees that he can, with his life, do something more than just live for himself, work for himself, and he wants to be useful to others. That’s the kind of man that does it, and I’m not an exception.”

Meijer, who said he stopped donating sperm in 2019, denied that he had developed an addiction to the act and said he takes offense to the show’s characterization of him as a “serial donor.”

“I dislike the word serial, because every donor is a serial [donor]. It’s just like, a donor helps multiple families. That’s quite common; it’s quite normal,” Meijer said in the video. “So this is really already adding this extreme negative aspect in the documentary, like ‘serial’ — serial killer, serial donor.”

Nonbinding medical guidelines in the Netherlands impose a cap of 25 children per sperm donor, and Dutch law prohibits people from donating at more than one clinic in the country. The New York Times reported in 2021 that Meijer, who is Dutch, had fathered at least 102 in the Netherlands through multiple clinics, as well as at least 80 through private donations.

Though the Dutch Society for Obstetrics and Gynecology banned him from donating sperm in the Netherlands in 2017, Meijer continued to donate to recipients in other countries. In April last year, a Dutch court also banned him from donating sperm to new parents at the cost of 100,000 euros per violation.

Meijer also denied the documentary’s allegation that he had mixed his sperm with another donor’s before giving it to a recipient to see whose genes would “win.” The accusation was made in the documentary by a friend of Meijer’s who said that the other donor told her about the incident. Calling it a “blatant lie,” Meijer said in a video that he would pursue a slander suit if Netflix does not remove the claim from the show. 

He said in an email that he is in the process of suing the company.

Netflix did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

Josh Allott, the docuseries’ director, told Netflix’s Tudum that he met with Meijer to speak with him about participating in the documentary.

“We approached him a number of times to be interviewed and gave him a right to reply at the end,” Allott said. “He refused to comment on any of the allegations in the series.”

Meijer acknowledged in his YouTube video that he declined to participate in the documentary, adding that he wanted to “stay humble” and “do my own story.” 

He told NBC News that he did “not want to cooperate IN ANY WAY with Netflix and it is their responsibility to not use lies and slander.”

'Sepia Bride' photography goes viral on social media, sparks debate about wedding industry

Alexandra Jaye Conder didn’t know her wedding story would go viral, or that within a week everyone on the internet would know her as “Sepia Bride.” 

It all started when the newlywed took to TikTok to detail the “horrific” experience she had with her wedding photographer, who had been hired to document her nuptials in November 2023.

Conder was initially in love with the wedding gallery she received from the photographer couple weeks later, saying she was “beaming with excitement.” But after staring and analyzing the pictures a bit further, she realized something was off.

The bulk of the photographs, particularly her solo shots, had been edited in a way that she felt made her makeup look dull, her teeth yellow, and completely distorted any bright colors pictured.  

And that it was the complete opposite of the the bright, airy and golden vibe she had seen on the wedding photographer’s Instagram page.  

“Imagine paying almost 8,000 dollars for a wedding photographer and when you raise your concerns, they threaten to sue you for slander if you spoke your truth,” Conder says at the beginning of the video.  

Conder’s initial story and the dozens of videos posted about the fiasco have become quite popular, garnering millions of videos in the last week and sparking a larger conversation about the wedding industry. 

The conversation has even spilled onto other social media platforms like Reddit and Instagram, with users split between #TeamBride and #TeamPhotographer. 

Conder shared her experience in the hopes of helping “other brides who have maybe gone through the same thing or future brides going through the process,” not expecting the “virality of it all.” 

“I also wanted to share my frustrations as well over how sad I was and still am. You only have one wedding day, and you can’t re do that,” Conder said in an email interview with USA TODAY. 

 Here’s what to know. 

‘Sepia Bride’ defined 

Conder isn’t sure who was the first person to refer to her as  “Sepia Bride” but she’s going to stick it with it. At least for now. 

“Someone on the internet came up with it,” Conder said. 

The nickname “Sepia Bride” refers to the online discourse brought on by Conder sharing her wedding photographer "horror" story online. She has jokingly referred to it as “Sepia Gate” in her latest video.

“Sepia” is a toning technique used to help old photo prints, like the kind you’d see in an antique shop or museum, “hold up over time,” according to Adobe. 

The “reddish-brown” tone used to create to create the spectrum of highlights and shadows is “now associated with the nostalgia of antique imagery.”

“Sepia is a softer manipulation of light,” giving photos a soft, warm and dream-like finish, according to Adobe. 

Brides, photographers and others duke it out in the comments 

Conder’s experience hit home with a lot of people, especially among photographers and former brides. One photographer even offered to re-do the photos for free, if they were ever in the same area. 

Most, if not all of the thoughts, opinions and reactions shared in the comment section of Conder’s videos and posts have been filtered, if not completely turned off.  

Comments that are still visible show an even split, with some agreeing with Conder and others saying that she should have done more research and considered the photographer’s style before booking.

“I will absolutely go the extra mile for my brides, but they will have chosen me based on my style so it’s minor tweaks, not an entire re-edit,” @mybelovedghostandme wrote. 

“90% of wedding photographers are SO invested in their couples & will do whatever they can to make their couples happy. When people have unrealistic demands, sometimes there is only so much we can do,” another photographer wrote.

@ chrispy9579 was on #TeamBride, writing in the comments: “Yes girl! I work with photographers and videographers and they will alllllwaaays retouch/edit by request. That’s unprofessional.”

Jennifer Foreman echoed a similar sentiment, writing, “After watching all of your videos on this, I am very much on the fence on both sides, but more so on yours. Yes, checking the work to see if you like to first. But mainly, her editing on this is not.” 

“I’m flabbergasted photographers are calling those edits art & a style. IT IS ORANGE. IT CHANGED THE COLOR OF HER HAIR. it’s ok to not be loyal to every person who happens to have the same job as you,” @ash.sch.life wrote. 

‘Sepia Bride’ hopes to bring ‘change in the wedding industry’ after experience 

Though Conder wasn’t able to come to an agreement with the photographer about the images. She was able obtain a handful of raw images that she edited to match her vision.

“Like I’ve also said so many times, I think my photographer captured beautiful moments, the editing I wasn’t happy about. Thats why I just wish we were able to come to an agreement without the added expense,” Conder said.

Conder does plan on re-shooting her wedding portraits with another photographer. 

Conder says she shared her story with the hope that it “brings a change in the wedding industry for more communication between vendors and clients.” Especially, when it comes to reviewing contracts. 

“Since so many of us are first time brides, we’ve never done this before… we’re trusting the photographers to bring things to life, and unfortunately we aren’t familiar with a lot of technical terms either,” Conder said. “So, a consult between photographer & client explaining all the details is really necessarily, which I felt I didn’t receive.” 

Conder will continue to create more videos and content that will “further help people getting married or planning on getting married.”
