NEWS RELEASE - For Immediate Release Contact: Jennifer Rosa Founder/Producer, Music Forum & The Stoop Church For All Nations Tel.: (212) 333-5583 MusicForum@cfan.net TheStoopNY.com FLAT WORLD’S ‘ELECTRICATHEDRAL’ PRESENTED IN LANDMARK HELL'S KITCHEN CHURCH FEBRUARY 4TH Alyson Greenfield, Lachi & Meridian Gold, & Xenia Rubinos take over ‘ElectriCathedral’. NEW YORK, New York – January 6, 2012 - Flat World Productions is thrilled to kick off 2012 with an unparalleled night of indie pop/rock as part of its ‘ElectriCathedral’ series at the acoustically vibrant Church For All Nations (CFAN), a Hell's Kitchen gem and historic landmark. Bands include NYC indie divas – Alyson Greenfield, who will be premiering her newest music video shot at CFAN, as well as Lachi & Meridian Gold, and Xenia Rubinos. Alyson Greenfield experiments with synthesizers, glockenspiels, chord organs, drums, autoharps, and beatboxers to create her "eclectic sound" (AM New York), chock-full of "satiating and seductive songs" (LA Examiner). Greenfield's engaging and charismatic live performances where "the stage becomes her playroom" (Venus Zine), have been called "amazing...funny, spontaneous" (Thy Daily Noise) and "mesmerizing to watch" (Music Crush Girl). Lachi has been featured on Oprah Radio, MTV Iggy, NPR, CBS Radio, The Onion, and various other entertainment outlets not to mention her performances at a growing list of famed venues and festivals including Joe’s Pub, SXSW, and more. Lachi is a force to be reckoned with, as she wields the melodies and composes songs inspired by life’s trials with a grace like no other. Simply put, Lachi is “the real deal”. (Derrick Ashong of Oprah Radio) “Brooklyn-based Xenia Rubinos has an endlessly intriguing voice that is at once nostalgic and refreshing. It has a familiar warmth, like returning to your childhood home after years of absence…” (Club Fonograma) Deli Magazine has praised Xenia saying she, “…stood out as something quite different and interesting. It sounds like world music with an indie, electronic edge.” Doors open at 7:30pm with Xenia Rubinos kicking off the evening at 8pm followed by Lachi & Meridian Gold at 9pm, and Alyson Greenfield at 10pm. Tickets may be purchased at the door for $10. Flat World Productions was established to produce high quality concerts and develop collaborative events thriving on "collecting and connecting".

Enrique Bunbury, Zoe

<p> Enrique Bunbury Enrique Ortiz de Landázuri Izardui (a.k.a. Enrique Bunbury), born August 11, 1967 is a Spanish rock singer-songwriter [1] . Bunbury was born in Zaragoza, Spain. He got involved in music in the early 1980s, making his debut in a high school band called Apocalipsis, and later played along with Proceso Entrópico. In 1984, Bunbury joined a group called Zumo de Vidrio, debuting as a lead vocalist. After adopting the nickname of Bunbury, taken from the Oscar Wilde stage play The Importance of Being Earnest, the musician teamed up with Héroes del Silencio, becoming a major number in the Latin rock scene. The band eventually broke up in 1996 and Bunbury started his solo career in 1997 with a electro-rock album, Radical Sonora with his new band: Copi (piano), Del Moran (bass), Ramon Gacias (drums) and former Héroes del Silencio guitarist Alan Boguslavsky. Recognized by his wish to always reinvent himself, Bunbury released in 1999 the album &quot;Pequeño&quot;, which sounded very different from anything he did before. His band also suffered changes, Boguslavsky was replaced by Rafa Dominguez, and the new faces, Ana Belén Estaje (violin), Luis Miguel Romero (percussion), Javier Iñigo, Javier Garcia Vega & Antonio Ríos in the metal instruments. This band was known as the &quot;Huracán Ambulante&quot; (&quot;Walking Hurricane&quot;) and recorded with Bunbury the rest of his solo discography. <p> Zoe Mexico in 1994, just as one of the decade&#39;s most important music styles was appearing in the United Kingdom: Britpop. Mainly inspired by this movement, with slight influences from Seattle&#39;s grunge, Zoé would go through a period of changing line-ups and varying styles before stabilizing in 1997, with León Larregui (guitars and voice), Sergio Acosta (guitars), Beto Cabrera (drums), Ángel Mosqueda (bass), and Chucho Báez (keyboards). By this time, a clear influence from The Beatles can be perceived, alongside the mentioned brtipop and grunge stylings, and certain reminiscences to The Stone Roses and The Charlatans. 1998 - 2004 Facing a lack of spaces to showcase their music, Zoé relied upon self-organized concerts, the Internet, and a self-published demo. All of these efforts, plus a good deal of positive word of mouth helped them gain popularity in Spanish language radio stations in the USA. They signed their first recording contract in 1998, but nothing came of it, and once again they decided to rely on themselves. They released independently a &quot;debut&quot; album in 2000, which attracted the attention of Sony Music, who in turn took over distribution of the album. Some of the most popular songs from this recording were Asteroide and Miel. Following the success of this album, some of their songs were included in the soundtracks of movies like Amar Te Duele, Ladies Night, and The Dreamer. In November 2003, Zoé launched their second album, produced by Phil Vinall, who had previously worked with the likes of Placebo, Elastica, and Pulp. This new album was titled Rocanlover, and the main singles were Peace & Love, Love, and Veneno. By this point, their musical style was clearly defined and easily recognizable, as was their style of mixing Spanish and English in their lyrics. 2004 - Present Zoé went into a short hiatus during 2004, but returned to the music scene by mid-2005, when independent label Noiselab signed a recording contract with the band. New songs and a new EP (named The Room) have been produced. They have recorded some new songs fully in English, and some producers like Alan McGee have expressed interest in taking them to the UK and Europe. Their popularity has been growing, and they&#39;re becoming more and more popular in their home country, as well as outside the alternative circles. Some of their songs have been playing in pop and alternative music stations in Mexico and the southwestern United States, and their new album, &quot;Memo Rex Commander Y El Corazón Atómico De La Vía Láctea&quot; is to come out July 12, 2006. </p></p>

She can put a girlish lilt on her voice, or cut to soulful resonance a la Fiona Apple. Her keyboards dive through pop-friendly melodies, but they’re enriched with jazz intonations. And her lyrics are provocative and complex, balancing heartbreak with dark humor.” “Paul Phillips live is to immediately be connected to something old, something new and something wonderful all at once.” Jim Trick, Ring Street Records The event will be emceed by Chris MacIntosh (aka “Grandfather Rock”) of WCWP Radio. Doors open at 7:30 pm., and showtime is at 8pm. While the concert is free, The Stoop will be accepting suggested donations of $12. Receive a free gift with the full suggested cover.

Feist

<p> Feist BAM Howard Gilman Opera House 11/02/2011 08:00 PM EDT $54, $47.50, $40 <p> Feist For nearly a decade, Leslie Feist did not stop moving. Her 2004 Juno award winning album Let It Die led right into 2007&#39;s The Reminder, which earned her four Grammy nominations, six Juno wins, the Shortlist Music Prize, and the opportunity to teach Muppets to count on Sesame Street. She made her Saturday Night Live debut and toured the world. She covered an album with Beck, recorded with Wilco and watched Stephen Colbert shimmy in a sequined &quot;1234&quot; jumpsuit, and made a documentary about her visual collaborators on The Reminder. And then, finally, after the seventh year, Feist rested. &quot;There&#39;s a lot of output on tour,&quot; she says. &quot;and in the downtime afterwards I was a sponge-I was trying to absorb as much as I put out for seven years. I was being still and trying to learn how to be quiet and remember that silence isn&#39;t aggressive,&quot; she adds. &quot;Sometimes after being in a lot of noise and movement, silence and stillness can seem completely terrifying.&quot; When Feist was ready to make music again, she had very different ideas about how to shatter the quiet. &quot;I had played so many shows with such care, I really wanted to turn up again,&quot; she says, referring to her early days as a guitarist in punk and rock bands. She wrote the album over 3 autumn months in 2010 in a tiny garage behind her house, after a year away from the spotlight. While the lyrics she has crafted often have an affectingly melancholic undercurrent, the arrangements, in which Feist ups her reputation as a guitarist, unfailingly lift the ear out of melancholy and into inspiration. In January 2011, her longtime collaborators Chilly Gonzales and Mocky arrived in Toronto to arrange 12 songs that would become her fourth studio album, Metals. The trio spent a frigid month &quot;Trying to sound like we had played together as long as we&#39;d collectively known each other, around 50 years,&quot; then decamped for California&#39;s rugged Big Sur coastline to record them. &quot;Recording can be a weightless free float from your day-life, and I like to pick places with certain fertile qualities that can give me a visual hook that I&#39;m there to do something other than what I would otherwise do. And that clean line between land and sea, the graphic edge of the continent pointing out towards the east.... meaning not the Atlantic &quot;next stop Europe&quot; feeling, but &quot;next stop somewhere you&#39;ve never been.&quot; Feist says. &quot;Plus, you are somewhere that looks completely unfound and yet it&#39;s been so perfectly recorded literarily. Steinbeck made 1000 albums there! Henry Miller and Anais Nin probably considered that line between land and sea, too. And on top of it, we truly found the perfect room to build a studio in, perched on the cliffs. A giant empty space.&quot; The songs Feist and her band-Gonzales, Mocky, percussionist Dean Stone, and keyboard whiz Brian LeBarton-laid down over two and a half weeks in February- plumb different emotional paths than her previous work. &quot;Time passes, time grabs you as it goes past, and then it changes you. You begin to catch patterns.&quot; she muses. &quot;I feel a little bit more like a narrator now. Rather than saying, here&#39;s my truth, I&#39;m able to say, here&#39;s something I&#39;ve just observed to be true. Which depending on the day can also be absolutely not true. There&#39;s less certainty with time, as much as you&#39;d assume the opposite to be the case.&quot; Metals is not a reaction to The Reminder, but Feist did learn a few lessons playing her acclaimed album&#39;s songs night after night. &quot;On [The Reminder&#39;s] &#39;I Feel It All,&#39; to have a chorus, &#39;Ooh I&#39;ll be the one who&#39;ll break my heart/I&#39;ll be the one to hold the gun&#39;- you sing that 300 times and eventually the universe listens. Okay, sure, we can do that for you. So this time I wanted to cast the spell 300 times saying something that&#39;s more of an observation, or adages and morales that you find embroidered in junk shops. &#39;A stitch in time saves nine&#39; or &#39;pretty is as pretty does&#39;. Good people can act badly. You can get things right after getting them very, very wrong. Maybe there&#39;s a reason those things are chosen to pass down as a sort of folk wisdom.... they&#39;re just the truths that people noted long enough to get out their embroidery needles.&quot; Metals&#39; songs range from low rumbling and moody ambiences to brutal and intense, as if it sonically maps the fog rolling in and the resulting cracking of thunder. &quot;There&#39;s a lot more chaos and movement and noise than I&#39;ve had before,&quot; Feist says. &quot;I allowed for mistakes more than I ever have, which end up not being mistakes when you open things up and make room for them. It was about un-simplifying things and leaning on these masterful minds I have so much respect for. We were sort of testing the air, like a sea captain licks his finger to see which way the wind is coming from. It was less Brill Building and more naturalistic.&quot; Some of the results wound up being more intimate portraits of relationships, like &quot;Get It Wrong, Get It Right,&quot; which Feist describes as &quot;a slideshow of a season in a place and the seasons between two people.&quot; But more often she found herself gravitating to the universal. &quot;It&#39;s a calm declaration, &#39;We hold these truths to be self-evident...&#39;&quot; she muses. &quot;After everything settles there&#39;s really no blame to be laid in a lot of these situations. People are being their true selves, everybody is in their story trying to get to the next chapter. There are good times that are as good as the bad times are bad.&quot; Brainstorming along those lines helped lead her to the album title Metals. &quot;I was thinking about quiet, raw, dormant ore versus the highly engineered result of forging that into skyscrapers,&quot; Feist explains. &quot;and by the same equation, there&#39;s the way you feel versus the way you wish you felt. The raw material is one thing and what our minds turn it into are completely different states. Also, it echoes the word &#39;mettle, as in, a man proves his mettle by how his fortitude carries him through from raw act to reaction.&quot; Sonically, Feist and her tight-knit crew strove to forge a connection between the future and the past. &quot;There&#39;s more interest for me when you overlap histories, you know? When you use the modern facts and advantages of when we&#39;re living to bang on things and break things.&quot; she says. &quot;There&#39;s a bunch of human yelling into the air together, all this group singing that&#39;s all over the record, that felt ancient. And (keyboardist) Brian LeBarton really deepened our access to this modern-ancient concept. He has this amazing ability to make modern synthesizers sound extremely ancient. And he can make a celeste, which is basically a harpsichord, sound like it&#39;s from Bladerunner. He glued the arrangements Mocky and Gonz and I had made together, truly.&quot; Ultimately, Metals&#39; aesthetic has a deliberate patience, elemental wildness and natural beauty that echoes Feist&#39;s new found observations on time. &quot;I read a National Geographic article about soil and modern farming,&quot; she says. &quot;The point is for food to grow, the point isn&#39;t for it to grow all at once and never grow again. Soil does its job, but unless you let it rest it can&#39;t regenerate its own minerals and do the same thing again. You just have to let it lay there under the sun, dry out, get rained on and be still a little while.&quot; That she did. And now she&#39;s back. <p> Venue Information BAM Howard Gilman Opera House 30 Lafayette Avenue Brooklyn, NY 11217 http://www.bam.org/default.aspx </p></p></p>

Blue October

<p> Blue October Webster Hall 10/15/2011 07:00 PM EDT $35.00 <p> Supporting Acts: IAmDynamite <p> Blue October Blue October&#39;s seventh full-length studio album, Any Man in America, is a new beginning. An unexpected and unsettling personal shift sparked the music that would become Any Man in America. Singer Justin Furstenfeld found himself mired in the end of a marriage and a tenuous custody battle that consumed him to the breaking point. Instead of falling further, he turned to the studio and began documenting moments in his life in 2008 as the band was working on their last offering, Approaching Normal. The result is thirteen new songs that tell a cathartic tale of heartbreak and healing through unbridled lyrical honesty, anthemic modern rock hooks, and melodic soundscapes. &quot;I was separated at the time, and my daughter was in Nebraska while I moved back to Texas alone,&quot; he explains. &quot;I decided to document everything. If I messed up along the way, I&#39;d tell that too. We called the album my &#39;Audio Journal&#39; as I began writing. I didn&#39;t want the music to just be about me though. I wanted it to help other people in who might be going through the same thing.&quot; That &quot;Audio Journal&quot; follows the dissolution of his marriage, the horrible fallout that resulted, and the closure that finally came. With the crack of a power chord, a haunting piano melody, or the texture of electronic despair, Blue October builds an immersive and often infectious &quot;real life&quot; emotional roller coaster. However, the band neglected to simply wallow in the negative aspects of this ride. Rather, the music became a tool of empowerment. Justin goes on, &quot;The most important thing in my life was the birth of my daughter. That changed me into a man. This record is my chance to speak my heart because I never got that opportunity to do that in the court system. When my world was turned upside down and my daughter was being taken away from me I was being told &#39;you know it is not right but you are going to have to accept it.&#39; In America, the system makes it easier to be a deadbeat father than a man who wants to provide for and love his children. This is my deposition.&quot; Along the way, his band mates were there for him. Justin wasn&#39;t alone, and that unity makes for richer, fuller music. &quot;We&#39;re in a band together, but first and foremost, we&#39;re family,&quot; adds his brother and drummer Jeremy. &quot;The album evolved into one man&#39;s journey through a really harsh time, but any man could be put in this situation of being kept away from his family. There&#39;s nothing that you feel like you can do to change it. However, we&#39;ve always been right there for each other to deal with what comes along in life.&quot; Since 1995, Blue October has been a refuge for its members and fans worldwide. Over the course of five albums, achieving platinum sales with singles like &quot;Hate Me&quot; and &quot;Into The Ocean&quot; along with non-stop touring solidified the band&#39;s presence in the music world. They&#39;ve had high-profile film and TV placements on The Sopranos, Saw III, and NCIS to name a few. Justin was also featured in a unique tour alongside Twilight author Stephanie Meyer in 2008. Plus, they&#39;ve played to fans in nearly every corner of the world. However, it all simply set the stage for Any Man in America. After two years of Justin documenting and recording the demos of what would become Any Man in America, the band retreated to an Austin, TX studio with mixer and producer Tim Palmer [Grammy award wining mixer for U2&#39;s &#39;All That You Can&#39;t Leave Behind, David Bowie, Pearl Jam, and Robert Plant]. Co-producing with Justin, Palmer helped the band capture each and every instance that the lyrics describe so vividly. As Justin puts it, &quot;Palmer allowed me the freedom to be that open and honest.&quot; Any Man In America is an album with a beginning, a middle and an end. It&#39;s a &quot;concept&quot; album, except that this is not a concept, it is Furstenfeld&#39;s reality. The story begins with &quot;Feel Again,&quot; a sentimental cry out to a lost love, a wanting for return to the way we were. The album&#39;s first radio single, &quot;The Chills&quot;, espouses the truthful storytelling that Justin and his band mates hold as paramount. A propulsive backbeat morphs into one of the biggest hooks of Blue October&#39;s career as Justin urges for change in the relationship. The singer exclaims, &quot;I&#39;m pleading, &#39;Why do you have to act like that? Why do I always feel these chills?&#39; Those chills are how you know you love someone. The song is about me trying to prove my love because of those chills.&quot; After a melancholic orchestral segue and harrowing voicemail messages, the album dips into &quot;The Flight (LNK to MSP).&quot; A heavy dark beat burns underneath a volatile verse colored with searing anger and emotion. The song recounts when Justin received life-changing news while boarding a flight to speak at a suicide prevention event on Capitol Hill. This news would crush &quot;any man in America.&quot; &quot;The song is a centerpiece for the album, and it was a pivotal point in this four year period. At that moment, I realized I had to think of my daughter&#39;s future first and foremost instead of focusing this relationship,&quot; he says. &quot;I had to write something that got those feelings of rage out so I could stop giving it so much attention.&quot; The title track also illuminates the band&#39;s evolution. Blue October seamlessly infused nuances of hip-hop into their patented sound, yielding intriguing, infectious tunes. &quot;I&#39;ve always been a fan of smart hip-hop,&quot; declares Justin. &quot;There&#39;s a confidence that comes from rap that definitely inspired me. Artists like Paul Wall, Eminem, Jay-Z and growing up around Houston&#39;s Swishahouse empowered me because they had no fear of speaking their minds. Nobody in rock is that honest. We definitely tried to incorporate that frame of mind on this album.&quot; A chance meeting with Austin/San Antonio poet and rapper Ray C, who had just gone through a similar family experience, led to a guest appearance on the title track to express his personal views on how this subject matter has even touched his life. The experimentation didn&#39;t stop there. Certain nights in the studio would lead the band to push the envelope further. Jeremy adds, &quot;We&#39;d put five drummers in a room each with a single drum and do tracks where five guys end up being this huge drum corps. We were able to open up and experiment in this new sound. You can still tell it&#39;s Blue October, but there&#39;s maturity. Justin is talking about super important subject matter that could hopefully be lifechanging for other people. He&#39;s standing up for this larger purpose, and it&#39;s wonderful.&quot; The album itself leaves off with on an uplifting note with &quot;The Follow Through.&quot; It&#39;s an utterly epic final word that sees some closure for Justin. Patricia Lynn of The Soldier Thread gorgeously delivers the lines &quot;Let me help you live on,&quot; and it&#39;s truly inspiring. Justin delves deeper into the song, &quot;The last words had to be something positive. I needed to hear a female&#39;s voice saying that. I needed to believe that there is love out there still for my daughter and for everybody. I thought that was really important, and I didn&#39;t want to end with my voice.&quot; The loudest voices will be the audiences everywhere that sing along to these songs with Blue October. Ultimately, that&#39;s who the band continues to write for. The frontman sums everything up, &quot;This happens every day in America. I just want to show you can make it through, and there is a light at the end of the tunnel.&quot; Any Man in America can feel that. - Rick Florino, May 2011 <p> Venue Information Webster Hall 125 East 11th Street New York, NY 10003 http://www.websterhall.com/ </p></p></p></p>

Mates of State

<p> Supporting Acts: Other Lives <p> Mates of State Though conceived as a duo, Kori Gardner and Jason Hammel - the he and she music factory known as Mates of State - have never failed to generate a trademark wall of sound built on dozens of varied voicings of keys, drums, and alternately lushly layered and playfully dueling vocals. On their newest album, re-arrange us, they move beyond these boundaries (their traditional organ sound is a distant memory, replaced with organic piano and synth sounds) with additional instrumentation, not to mention a quantum leap in song craft apparent on instantly indelible gems like now, jigsaw and get better. Throughout the new album, Kori&#39;s piano and the emergence of both Mates&#39; lead vocals from their trademark harmonizing signal the next stage of Mates of State&#39;s evolution. </p></p>

The Black Dahlia Murder

Tue, October 11, 2011 Doors: 7:00 PM / Show: 8:00 PM $17.00 The Black Dahlia MurderMySpaceFacebookTwitterLinksThe Black Dahlia Murder does not exactly seem like a band that&#39;s easily ritualized. The face-melting Detroit quintet has made a career out of being unpredictable -- as well as unhinged, unclassifiable and unrepentant, all in the best possible ways. But with RITUAL, its fifth full-length album, the extreme metal troupe found fertile territory in the wide world of those prescribed practices that would seem verboten to a band that&#39;s always marched to the double-time beat of its own drummer. And in doing so it&#39;s come up with what frontman Trevor Strnad considers &quot;the most focused Black Dahlia Murder strike of all time.&quot; &quot;The whole thread of the songs is more tied together than ever before,&quot; explains Strnad. &quot;Part of it was kind of like, &#39;What can we do that&#39;s the most Black Dahlia Murder thing? What&#39;s going to be the most quintessential Black Dahlia Murder thing we can do?&#39; That&#39;s kind of what we set our foothold in. And RITUAL, it just lends itself to that -- it&#39;s mysticism and magic and all of that. Everyone has an association with some kind of ritual, so we just thought it was the next logical step.&quot; Following up 2009&#39;s acclaimed DEFLORATE, which brought The Black Dahlia Murder the highest Billboard chart positions of its 10-year career, RITUAL revels in both conceptual ambition and equally striking musical growth from a band that&#39;s pushed itself into more extreme and challenging territory on each successive release. Recalling the writing process that led to RITUAL&#39;s eventual 12 songs, Strnad says that &quot;every song that got brought forth was exciting and more three-dimensional, more twists and turns, more surprises. There&#39;s more ups and downs and taking people on a journey this time.&quot; Co-founder Brian Eschbach, meanwhile, credits the presence of fellow guitarist Ryan Knight, who joined the band for DEFLORATE, with helping to move things forward on this particular venture. &quot;It&#39;s been more collaborative than it&#39;s been in years,&quot; Eschbach notes. &quot;The last two albums (DEFLORATE and 2007&#39;s NOCTURNAL) I wrote most of the music, and this one it&#39;s almost a 50-50 effort between me and (Knight). He lifted what we were doing on the last album so much from what we&#39;ve done before, his different techniques and stylings that he knows how to wield. It&#39;s really exciting for us to have that be part of the band now.&quot; Strnad adds that Knight &quot;is an educated musician, and he&#39;s brought that kind of aspect into the band, too. We came to him having higher expectations, and he&#39;s exceeded all of those.&quot; This fresh input gave The Black Dahlia Murder room to broaden its soundscape and push the parameters of its dynamic attack. But no one need worry; its stock in trade is still the blistering fury of tracks such as &quot;Moonlight Equilibrium,&quot; &quot;The Window&quot; and &quot;The Raven,&quot; but there are new elements that only add to the drama and depth of the individual songs. Strings -- yes, strings -- open the album on a deceptively soothing note before The Black Dahlia Murder unleashes the blastbeat ferocity of &quot;A Shrine to Madness.&quot; A bit of piano lends texture to &quot;Carbonized in Cruciform,&quot; while &quot;Conspiring with the Damned&quot; has a druid-like ambience fit for the &quot;The Lord of the Rings&quot; films -- or the more explicit &quot;Game of Thrones.&quot; But it&#39;s the album-closing &quot;Blood in the Ink&quot; that really stretches The Black Dahlia Murder we know and love in its most daring direction yet, though without losing its trademark ferocity or velocity. &quot;That&#39;s something Brian&#39;s always wanted to do,&quot; Strnad notes. &quot;He&#39;s always appreciated classical music and the marriage of classic and metal when they come together. For him to be able to do anything he wants like that, I think it&#39;s gonna resonate with people.&quot; Eschbach hopes he&#39;s right. &quot;A couple of these songs feel like stuff we&#39;ve always wanted to do but just hadn&#39;t done to this point. It&#39;s going to be fun and interesting to hear what a Black Dahlia Murder fan has to say about it -- even if everyone hates it!&quot; Eschbach can say that with a laugh; he knows that The Black Dahlia Murder&#39;s fans have been among the most loyal on the planet, a corps that&#39;s grown since the group released its first demo, WHAT A HORRIBLE NIGHT TO CURSE in 2001 and built a following with hard touring and key bookings before signing with Metal Blade and bowing with the unholy power of 2003&#39;s UNHALLOWED. The Black Dahlia Murder has been a constant on the road, touring with the likes of Cannibal Corpse, Children of Bodom, Skeletonwitch, The Red Chord, Goatwhore, 3 Inches of Blood and many more, playing key festivals and logging time on the Summer Slaughter Tour -- which the group will headline this year in support of RITUAL. The Black Dahlia Murder has crammed quite a bit into its 10 years together -- five albums, three EPs and a DVD (2009&#39;s MAJESTY) -- and the group members themselves seem a bit surprised by what they&#39;ve wrought. &quot;Yeah, initially we thought we were going to get together on Sundays and try to put a song together every week,&quot; Eschbach recalls. &quot;We never dreamed of being able to live off the band.&quot; But Strnad says it didn&#39;t take long to sense that they could. &quot;We had the vision that we wanted to take the band to more people, that we wanted to have something bigger than just playing at the crappy ass local bar,&quot; he explains. &quot;Being a metal band, I think, is being an underdog. To play music you know is not digestible on purpose, to preach to a certain kind of depraved person...It&#39;s a lofty goal to have anyone want to hear what we have to say. We&#39;ve been really, really lucky, but at the same time we&#39;re always looking to the future and trying to do what we do better and better. &quot;And I would say this time, with RITUAL, we really nailed it even harder than we have before.&quot; RITUAL streets in Europe June 17th/20th 2011All Shall PerishWebsiteMySpaceLinksDeath metal and technical grind have an interesting way of co-existing. While each genre shares characteristics with the other it would seem that many bands would rather stay narrow in scope and keep the two as oil and water. However some outstanding young acts in the last few years have managed to rejuvenate the underground by encompassing more of extreme metal’s tangents and delivering some very impacting and fresh ideas into a seemingly over-cooked stew. Despised Icon, Beneath The Massacre, Leng Tch’e and others have thrown all caution (and rules) into the wind and are re-defining the death and grind genres with vibrant ideas and unrelenting delivery. Oakland’s ALL SHALL PERISH are cut from that same jib; delivering brutal music that possesses a natural need to experiment and push the boundaries of the extreme underground. Their second offering, The Price Of Existence, will turn the death metal and underground hordes on their collective ear, and when all is said and done the band is sure to be touted as one of the best young extreme acts from the West Coast in this new millennium. Finding common ground with a taste for such bands as Dying Fetus, Opeth, Cannibal Corpse, Hatebreed, Blood Has Been Shed and At The Gates, ALL SHALL PERISH formed with the intent of not being labeled with the restricting monikers of &quot;death metal&quot;, &quot;hardcore&quot; or &quot;metalcore&quot;, rather they simply wanted to brutalize audiences and get people moving. The band&#39;s 2005 Nuclear Blast debut Hate, Malice, Revenge proved that they were capable of blending various styles while delivering memorable and intelligent songs to all fans of metal and hardcore. Their live show brought the band&#39;s vicious attack from coast to coast with such known acts like Six Feet Under, Agnostic Front, As I Lay Dying, Bleeding Through, Brujeria, Dying Fetus, Diecast and Hate Eternal, and before anyone knew it ALL SHALL PERISH had racked up almost 10,000 units via Soundscan. Change is inevitable, and when you’re 100% committed to your art it’s imperative that only the best people be involved. ASP took the necessary steps to outfit themselves with the best line-up available for The Price Of Existence. New vocalist Hernan “Eddie” Hermida’s delivery adds more depth and clarity to the band&#39;s overall impact, while the technical skills of guitarist Ben Orum and new axesmith Chris Storey are as top-notch as those of the most seasoned players in underground metal (“Prisoner Of War” and “There Is No Business To Be Done On A Dead Planet” are perfect examples). Powerhouse drummer Matt Kuykendall gives a heart stopping performance, immediately ranking him just under such elite players as Flo Mounier (Cryptopsy) and Derek Roddy (Hate Eternal). Tracks like &quot;Eradication&quot;, “We Hold These Truths” and the ever-so-catchy “Wage Slaves” are brutal and would knock a gorilla on its backside, while “The Last Relapse” and the moody instrumental “Interlude” show a melodic side to the band which proves that ALL SHALL PERISH have forged ahead light years and have delivered a regal metal gem. The Price Of Existence is demanding indeed!Cannabis CorpseWebsiteMySpaceLinksCannabis Corpse is a band that was born in the summer of 2006 as a way to express our love of smoking weed and listening to Cannibal Corpse. The tunes for the first album &quot;blunted at birth&quot; were recorded in Weedgrinders kitchen on a boss br 900 digital 8-track while slowly smoking away huge chunks of memory with the finest bud in oregon hill. We did it in the hopes of creating a band that got you stoned with a sick oldschool death metal sound alone! We can promise you that every growl, every guitar riff, and every drum beat was done when we were completely obliterated on sweet sweet chiba.We wanted people to spark up a doober and follow along with the lyrics so they could be transported into a horrific world where you are not safe from getting your weed stolen by bloodthirsty zombies or getting captured by an ancient cult that cultivates demonic weed with the blood and body parts of sacred ritual sacrifice! We had no idea just how well received the album would be by all our &quot;buds&quot; out there in the death metal community. We inlisted our friend Nick from Parasytic and played our first live show on 4/20 2007. We completed our follow up to &quot;Blunted at Birth&quot; called &quot;Tube of the Resinated&quot; in the winter of 07 and put it out on robotic empire(LP)/forcefield records (CD) on 4/20 08. We hope to come smoke your city this year, so stay stoney for the impending pot rapture!Venue Information: Knitting Factory Brooklyn 361 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 http://ny.knittingfactory.com

Imelda May

<p> Imelda May &quot;The problem with an artist like Imelda May is that she&#39;s so good, it makes a critical review almost impossible to write; her performance is flawless.&quot; - Clash Magazine Imelda May, born in Dublin and raised in the Liberties, may be an unknown name to some, but to many she is already a superstar. She is unmistakable both in her music (a fusion of surf guitars, blues and rockabilly that wouldn&#39;t be out of place in a David Lynch film) and her style, with a solitary curl and shock of blonde in her jet black hair. In Ireland, her debut album &#39;Love Tattoo&#39;, which she recorded and released on her own label, has gone Triple Platinum. She has shared a stage with Eric Clapton, Chuck Berry, David Gilmour, Sharon Shannon, Jeff Beck, Shane Macgowan, Kirsty McCall, Van Morrison, Lionel Richie, Wanda Jackson, Paul Brady and Meatloaf. And now, with the release of her new album &quot;Mayhem&quot;, she is about to go stellar. Being the youngest of five siblings , Imelda was the most susceptible to the various influences from her older brothers and sisters, which she could hear constantly through the walls of their two bedroom house. There was folk, the obligatory chart pop, and then there was Elvis. &quot;My brother was a mad Elvis fan, and I found a tape in his room with Elvis, Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent. I thought the music was fantastic.&quot; By the age of nine Imelda had fallen in love with rockabilly and the blues - the only kid in her class who wasn&#39;t into Wet Wet Wet. Singing along to rock n roll from an early age, her tastes began to develop and deepen, first with Elmore James and then - &quot; I heard Billie Holiday, and that blew my mind.&quot; After a year of art college she dropped out, deciding she would rather sing for a living. At that point, her professional experience was confined to having sung on an ad for Findus Fish Fingers at 14. &quot;A girl in The Liberties was in the music business and she got me this ad, where I sang, &#39;Betcha never put your finger on a crunchier crumb!&#39; I got £40 for it!&quot; She quickly found work singing with the swing troupe Blue Harlem and rock n roller Mike Sanchez and had an interesting spell of singing in burlesque clubs: &quot;I&#39;d sing while the other girls were onstage. One of them used to take an angle grinder to her crotch and would produce a shower of sparks. One day a spark flew down my throat when I was singing!&quot; Imelda began singing in clubs when she was 16 years old and had the honour of being occasionally barred from her own shows at Dublin&#39;s Bruxelles club for being underage. &quot;I was getting tips from the best musicians in Dublin. One of them said, &#39;Your voice is great, but it needs to roughen.&quot; It was around this time, when driving a tearful Imelda to a gig, that her father asked her &quot;Is your heart broken? Excellent. Now you can sing the blues&quot;. Remembered by Imelda as a turning point in her life, from then on her voice developed into the sultry, rich and unique tone you hear today. By 2006 she was itching to go solo, and formed her own band. &quot;We started out a bit jazzier, but it needed balls and roughing up which it got.&quot; Her debut album, &quot;Love Tattoo&quot; was soon released and started to get noticed. Catching the attention of Jools Holland in 2008 she supported him on tour which led to him requesting her to appear on Later. Here she performed to an audience that included Jeff Beck, Elbow and Roots Manuva and afterwards Beck made a point of telling Holland that he was only there to see Imelda. In 2009, Imelda knocked Bruce Springsteen off No. 1 to become the first female Irish artist to top the Irish album charts since Mary Black nearly 20 years ago. She then went on to win Female Artist of the Year at the Irish Meteor Awards. Despite album success, Imelda continued to tour, playing to over 400 000 people in 8 countries across Europe and the US - including, most recently a US tour with Jamie Cullum. Imelda has not only caught people&#39;s attention musically, her striking style and unmistakable cool but quirky 50s look has led her to grace the front cover of the Irish Sunday Times Style, Roberto Cavalli flew her out to perform at his private party during the Milan Fashion Week. 2010 got off to an auspicious start when Imelda accepted an offer from Jeff Beck to perform with him at the Grammys. This was followed in April by a two night support slot in London with one of her idols, Wanda Jackson. Her new album &#39;Mayhem&#39; sees Imelda continue to develop her uniquely modern fusion of classic musical genres. The record not only showcases her exceptional songwriting ability, but also displays some more disparate influences, with first single Psycho seeing Imelda channel the spirit of early PJ Harvey, whilst the heartbreakingly poignant &quot;Kentish Town Waltz&quot; conjures an image of Chrissie Hynde at her most reflective. This year Imelda will perform at Glastonbury, T In The Park, Womad and Ireland&#39;s Electric Picnic as well as touring the UK in May asnd September. She also has three songs - including the legendary &quot;Johnny Gotta Boom Boom&quot; and forthcoming single &quot;Mayhem&quot; featuring on the soundtrack to the new &quot;Wild Target&quot; film starring Bill Nighy, Emily Blunt and Rupert Everett. Imelda May? In 2011, she bloody well will! </p>

Vicious Country

Cost: No Cover! Happy hour from 4pm - 9pm. $4 drafts, $6 wine, & $7 Margaritas! Bar open till 4am. Kitchen open till 2am. Popa Chubby and Vicious Country is at the forefront of modern blues-rock, where the mix of intensity and integrity captured on Popa Chubbys Back To New York City has made him one of the genres most popular figures. And he&#39;s an imposing figure at that, weighing more than 300 pounds with a shaven head, tattooed arms, a goatee and a performing style he describes as the Stooges meets Buddy Guy, Motörhead meets Muddy Waters, Jimi Hendrix meets Robert Johnson. You get the picture. And if you dont, Back To New York City paints it vividly. On the discs 11 nasty cuts Popa Chubby has flipped the blues-rock label around, putting rock at the fore and the pedal to the metal with fat, scalding guitar sounds and stories plucked from true life. Some, like the rubber-burning title track and the pleading A Love That Will Never Die, are autobiographical tales that channel whats deep in his blood as well as the fevered pulse of the city Popa Chubby has called home for 30 years. Others, like Stand Before the Sun and his sweet n sizzling take on Johan Sebastian Bachs instrumental Jesus Joy of Mans Desiring, chronicle his search for spiritual enlightenment, which has led Popa Chubby to practice Tai Chi and Chi Kung before his sweat-soaked concerts. And then theres pure shots of fun like the chest-thumping Warrior Gods, which thunders along like a long-lost Motörhead gem, and She Loves Everybody But Me, a tongue-in-cheek hard-core Texas shuffle that purposefully nods to Stevie Ray Vaughan in its skyrocketing leads and solos.

Arete Ensemble Presents: Get Your Gamel-on! Part One...

Arete Ensemble presents: Get Your Gamel-on!  Part One Pianists Melinda Faylor and Manon Hutton-DeWys present an evening of Indonesian Gamelan influenced and inspired music. The program will include Colin Mc Phee&#39;s two piano transcriptions of Balinese Ceremonial Music, Lou Harrison&#39;s Varied Trio, Claude Vivier&#39;s Pulau Dewata, Ravel&#39;s La Vallee des cloches, and Gyorgy Ligeti&#39;s Galamb Borong. Also featured will be the toy piano stylings of Phyllis Chen, traditional Balinese music performed by members of the Indonesian Consulate&#39;s own Gamelan Dharma Swara, and a structured improvisation accompanied by extended piano techniques by Philadelphia-based modern dancer Loren Groenendaal. Ms Hutton-DeWys and Ms Faylor are both pianists with a fondness for contemporary and world music. Get Your Gamel-On! is a two part series that will explore all of the interesting ways in which Indonesian Gamelan has influenced classical music, with an emphasis on works for the piano. Pieces for the concerts are drawn from both the standard piano repertoire of Ravel and Debussy, and from the more contemporary works of Ligeti, John Adams, Lou Harrison, Claude Vivier, and John Cage. In addition, these concerts will include traditional gamelan, improvisation with gamelan, toy piano music, commissioned works from emerging composers, modern Balinese-inspired dance, and video.  Pianist Manon Hutton-DeWys has had a long time interest in Balinese Gamelan, becoming a member of the Simon&#39;s Rock College Gamelan in Great Barrington, studying in Bali in the summer of 2003 and even studying Balinese dance with Cokorda Istri Ratih Iryani. While at Bard, she was a principal member of the Bard College Gamelan, Chandra Kanchana, from 2003 to 2006. Pianist Melinda Faylor recently studied gamelan in Bali in the summer of 2010 and also composed Cantharidin, a structured improvisation for extended piano and dance, which was premiered at the University of North Carolina Greensboro in 2009. Part Two of the series will also take place at Greenwich House Music School on October 28th at 8:00. Contact: Manon Hutton-DeWys 845-661-6462 Melinda Faylor 917-733-4082 get.your.gamel.on@gmail.com

Deerhoof

<p> Supporting Acts: Mick Barr, White Suns <p> Deerhoof &quot;By turns cuddly and chaotic, San Francisco&#39;s Deerhoof mix noise, sugary melodies, and an experimental spirit into sweetly challenging and utterly distinctive music. The group began as the brainchild of guitarist Rob Fisk and drummer/keyboardist Greg Saunier in 1994; early releases, such as the 1995 7&quot;s Return of the Woods M&#39;Lady and For Those of Us on Foot, had a more traditionally harsh, no wave-inspired sound, though they also included the quirky tendencies that dominated their later efforts. Vocalist/bassist Satomi Matsuzaki joined the group in time for 1996&#39;s self-titled double 7&quot; on Menlo Park, but other members passed through Deerhoof, including Chris Cooper of Angst Hase Pfeffer Nase. The following year they released their full-length debut, The Man, the King, the Girl, on Kill Rock Stars and the Come See the Duck 7&quot; on Banano a year later. Fisk left Deerhoof after 1999&#39;s Holdy Paws, an experiment that saw the band trying to write songs that favored composition over individual sounds, and pursued similar ideas in his solo work and in Badgerlore. Halfbird, which was recorded before Fisk departed, was released in 2001, after John Dieterich was recruited as Deerhoof&#39;s new guitarist. That year the group also released the My Pal Foot Foot 7&quot;, a cover of the legendary Shaggs song that also appeared on the Better Than the Beatles tribute. In 2002, the group released the critically acclaimed Reveille; 2003&#39;s Apple O&#39; followed soon after, and also featured auxiliary guitarist Chris Cohen. Their fifth album, the much more cohesive and focused Milk Man, appeared in spring 2004. The following year was another busy one for the band: not only did they embark on tours of the U.S., Europe, and Japan, but they released the Green Cosmos EP, the full-length Runners Four, and a Deerhoof tribute album that was only available on the band&#39;s website. The concise yet eclectic Friend Opportunity arrived in early 2007. Guitarist Ed Rodriguez joined the band in early 2008, and played on that year&#39;s Offend Maggie; prior to the album&#39;s release that fall, the band gave away one of its songs, &quot;Fresh Born,&quot; as sheet music so fans could make their own versions of the song.&quot; - Heather Phares, AllMusicGuide </p></p>

Liam Finn

<p> Supporting Acts: Generationals, Marques Toliver <p> Liam Finn It&#39;s not easy to hit a target when you aren&#39;t sure what exactly your quarry looks-or sounds-like. Don&#39;t misunderstand: Liam Finn knew what he and co-producer Burke Reid wanted to accomplish with FOMO, the follow-up to the New Zealand dynamo&#39;s 2008 breakout I&#39;ll Be Lightning. But they also recognized that capturing that je ne nais sais quoi that makes or breaks one-of-a-kind songs wouldn&#39;t be a cakewalk. &quot;We wanted to create an atmosphere that was immediate.&quot; Finn explains. &quot;Nothing over-intellectualized or technically flashy. Songs that connected with everyday listeners who simply appreciate tunes that trigger tapping feet-or a lump in the throat. &quot;We wanted to create music that, once you got into it, you could appreciate was good... but when you first heard a song, there was just something about it that made you respond, instantly.&quot; That trigger might be as rudimentary as a specific timbre or style of production, but whatever the case, Finn knew all those cues had to come from his gut, and be carried along by songs ripe with integrity. Liam Finn already knows plenty about what audiences respond to. He toured with his father&#39;s band at the age of 14, and cut two e.p&#39;s and two albums with his first band, Betchadupa while still in his teens. In the three years since his solo debut I&#39;ll Be Lightning and Champagne in Seashells (his 2009 collaborative EP with tour-mate Eliza-Jane Barnes), Finn has crisscrossed the globe as a headline artist and support act with Pearl Jam, Black Keys, and Wilco and even cut a record with side project BARB he shares with fellow kiwi&#39;s Connan Mockasin and Lawrence Arabia. He returned to New Zealand and his little beach cottage (or &#39;Bach&#39; as they say in NZ) to write and polish the songs for his sophomore full-length, yet found himself a bit stymied by being out of the spotlight-where anyone who has seen him live will attest he&#39;s quite comfortable-and back in the small pond from whence he sprang. That friction is at the heart of the album title, an acronym for &quot;fear of missing out.&quot; &quot;My family and most of my good friends are all musicians, so they&#39;re always traveling, too.&quot; Catching up via mobile phone or e-mail, looking at Facebook photos of fun in faraway places, &quot;FOMO&quot; peppers their exchanges. &quot;It&#39;s a very natural way to be, but it&#39;s also a slightly tragic term, because you should never wish you were somewhere else.&quot; And since Finn made the record at the tail end of 2010, at the height of summer in New Zealand, it often lived up to its title. &quot;Every day that I went into the studio was gorgeous outside. Friends would be calling, saying &#39;Come to this great party... come out and play!&#39;&quot; Sorry gang, there&#39;s a record to finish first. Finn enlisted Burke Reid (formerly of Australian combo Gerling) to produce the record with him. The Canadian-born guitarist and songwriter didn&#39;t boast a résumé as long and storied as other candidates for the post, but Finn recognized him as a kindred spirit. What he didn&#39;t anticipate was that his right-hand man held very different ideas about what constitutes a great record, and how to go about making one. When presented with myriad songs in various stages of readiness, Reid was most enthusiastic about the ones furthest from completion. &quot;He didn&#39;t respond to the finished songs as much as he did to the little snippets of ideas, things as simple as just a beat, a melody, or a little keyboard riff. He picked up on those and said, &#39;Let&#39;s try to expand on these!&#39;&quot; It was an ideal strategy to capture that elusive spark Finn was after. It was also a potential recipe for hurt feelings. &quot;It was quite confrontational at first,&quot; he says of their collaborative process. &quot;But that&#39;s why I wanted to work with Burke. I didn&#39;t want it to be easy process. I wanted someone who pushed me to perfect something different.&quot; FOMO couldn&#39;t be an obvious, logical progression, or merely I&#39;ll Be Lightning, Part 2. &quot;Solo artists are pretty easy to peg,&quot; Finn demurs. Unless they forge into unfamiliar territory. Given its dynamic range of sound and instrumentation, you&#39;d never guess FOMO was the written and played by one man-unless you&#39;ve witnessed one of Finn&#39;s solo gigs, which feature him bouncing between instruments, piling on loops and layers, and working up the sweat of several men with his head-shaking, body-quaking performance style. Clocking in at 36 minutes, FOMO teems with seemingly off-the-cuff performances, and raw exuberance. The cavernous echo and angelic backing vocals of &quot;Neurotic World&quot; hint at &#39;60s girl groups, but spiraling keyboards, vapor-trail guitars and the convoluted emotions of its lyric propel that album opener in unexpected directions. Irrepressible sing-along &quot;Cold Feet&quot; marries a sunny &#39;60s guitar riff to the timeless sentiment of wondering what will become of a summer romance as autumn approaches. &quot;The Struggle&quot; bristles with distorted guitars and vocals, anchored by a bass riff straight out of a vintage TV action show, then quickly gives way to the cheeky bounce and sweet harmonies of &quot;Little Words.&quot; On the crackling closer, &quot;Jump Your Bones,&quot; Finn sounds almost tongue-tied with jubilation; it&#39;s the perfect send-off for a record that sounds incapable of keeping the artist&#39;s emotions in check-not that he&#39;d bother to try. &quot;I made I&#39;ll Be Lightning completely on my own, engineered and produced it, and that was quite a cathartic process at the time. This time I wanted to make a record that was truly reflective of where I&#39;m at now.&quot; Whereas the primary feeling that inspired Finn&#39;s debut was heartbreak, FOMO encompasses a wider spectrum of sentiments: the artist&#39;s struggle to grow and evolve; the international nomad versus the small town New Zealand boy; and, happily, newfound love. &quot;Making this record, I got to rediscover myself,&quot; he concludes. And that person is on full display throughout these ten songs. Fear of change holds some artists back. Not Liam Finn: FOMO is a great leap forward. Finn wrote all of &#39;Lightning&#39;&#39;s fourteen songs, and plays most of the instruments on the album, a fact driven home in powerful fashion by his jaw-dropping live shows. The Sydney Morning Herald described one recent performance: &#39;He constantly and inventively loops his guitar parts before jumping on to a drum kit and flailing away with manic energy and skill.&#39; Layering on bass loops, and the occasional Theremin line as well, Finn can take a song from primal, solitary guitar riff to bracing wall of sound. Singlehandedly. Recorded in New Zealand, the album itself is similarly charged, by turns reflective and shambolic, but always melodic. Finn recently told the Morning Herald &#39;I purposely did the album all analog; there were no computers involved. I made all the loops live and played them on to the tape. I purposely didn&#39;t demo this record because I wanted to capture that spirit in the recording.&#39; In addition to the cd and digital release, Yep Roc plans to issue &#39;Lightning&#39; as a vinyl LP, with a bonus cdcontaining the full album plus five exclusive tracks. Though &#39;Lightning&#39; is Finn&#39;s solo debut, he is a seasoned recording and touring artist. He began performing with his father, Crowded House founder Neil Finn, at age fourteen, and founded his own group, Betchdupa, soon after. That group would record for legendary Aussie indie label Flying Nun, and open for Pearl Jam and Coldplay. More recently, Liam joined Crowded House for their historic reunion shows at this year&#39;s Coachella and Glastonbury festivals, and the Live Earth concert in Sydney. He also opened for Crowded House with his own solo set on several dates. </p></p>

"Jaime's Weekly" reviewed Flat World's most recent show and described CFAN; "It was pretty awesome. The acoustics were nice and the room leant itself perfectly to the music." Jm Airis, "...proves himself to be a gifted orchestrator, creating textures that range from simple vocals/accompaniment to architectonic layering of sheets of atmosphere that, given the proper set of head phones, threaten to swallow the listener whole." - Peer Validated "Papertwin melds droney darkwave melodies that match up against an 80s pop sensibility....Powerful sincere vocals mixed with vibrant waves of electronic programming, is reminiscent sometimes of Thom Yorke or Bjork’s production aesthetic." - Sick of the Radio "Indie shoegazenoiserockers Ohnomoon are definitely a band to watch out for in New York City." - Clean-Cut The Loyal We are, "...a rare combination of catchy and earthy. With minimal instrumentation, these resourceful girls produce noteworthy rock ‘n’ roll...In short, The Loyal We are royally awesome!" - Late Night Wallflower Doors open at 6:30pm with The Loyal We kicking off the evening at 7pm followed by Ohnomoon at 8pm, Papertwin at 9pm, and Jm Airis at 10pm.

Chromeo

Chromeo is Pee Thug and Dave 1: best friends since their adolescence, virtuoso musicians, walking hip hop encyclopedias, and the only successful Arab/Jew partnership since the dawn of human culture. After spending the three years since the release of their debut album, She's In Control, jet setting, globetrotting, and embarking on an overall sensual conquest of planet Earth, Chromeo headed back to their Montreal lab to put together album number deux. The result, Fancy Footwork, is quite simply the most smoothed-out, hook-heavy, unabashed lovers' funk since Chromeo's last album.

Liz Phair

<p> Supporting Acts: U.S. Royalty <p> Liz Phair "Growing out of the American underground of the late '80s, Liz Phair fused lo-fi indie rock production techniques with the sensibility and structure of classic singer/songwriters. Exile in Guyville, her gold-selling debut album, was enthusiastically praised upon its 1993 release and spawned a rash of imitators during the following years, particularly American female singer/songwriters. For her part, Phair wasn't able to fully break into the mainstream, even with the support of the press and MTV. Whip-Smart, her second album, was heavily promoted upon its 1994 release, yet despite its relatively strong chart positions, it was viewed as a disappointment and Phair's momentum declined steadily during the mid-'90s, as she took several years to record her third album. Phair quietly retreated from the spotlight during 1995, marrying Jim Staskausas, a Chicago-based film editor who had previously worked on Phair's videos. Later that summer, she released the Juvenilia EP, which was essentially the "Jealousy" single amplified with the first official release of Girlysound material. Her long-delayed, much-anticipated third LP, whitechocolatespaceegg, finally appeared in mid-1998. Five years later, Phair returned with a controversial self-titled album. Liz Phair, which appeared in June 2003, found her working with singer/songwriter Michael Penn and the Matrix, the latter of whom had risen to prominence in the pop world by launching artists like Avril Lavigne. Jimmy Chamberlin, Wendy Melvoin, and Pete Yorn also contributed to Phair's newly slick sound. When Liz Phair appeared, though, it was panned by purist rock critics and militant Liz nerds who felt she'd sold them out with the record's pop star sensibilities. Another album, Somebody's Miracle, appeared in fall 2005, but its relatively soft sound resulted in the slowest sales of Phair's career. After reissuing Exile in Guyville in 2008, Phair began working on a number of offbeat, highly unconventional songs, many of which dealt with her recent departure from Capitol Records. Tired of working with record labels, she chose to release the material herself. Funstyle was appropriately released on her own website in July 2010, with the bhangra-influenced "Bollywood" becoming the album's first single." -Stephen Thomas Erlewine, AllMusicGuide </p></p>

This very special residency will once again showcase an eclectic marriage of Arthur’s songwriting, performance and art with the selection of specially inviited guests.<p>TICKETS FOR 1/1 - CLICK HERE<p>TICKETS FOR 2/5 - CLICK HERE<p>Arthur has toured with the likes of R.E.M., Ben Harper, and Gomez and has had his song “In the Sun” covered by Chris Martin of Coldplay and remixed by Justin Timberlake. A painter, a soloist and collaborator Arthur’s prodigious talents prompted Peter Gabriel to personally sign him to his record label, Real World. He is smart, surprising and infinitely rewarding, constantly stirring the imagination. Arthur toured extensively in Europe and Canada in 2009 and has had his 2006 release Nuclear Daydream re-issued. His first studio album since 2008’s Temporary People was released in summer 2010. A prodigious talent, Arthur’s songwriting has sharpened the focus of his creative expression on his latest project.<p>Please visit the site for updates. Every sold-out show is an opportunity to discover afresh the amazing strength of Arthur’s deep and abiding passion for his craft. This winter join Joseph Arthur and guests at City Winery for a unique and inspired series of very special shows.<p>ABOUT DAVID BAZAN<p>Known for his work fronting the enigmatic rock band Pedro the Lion, David Bazan’s emotionally charged narratives, eye for telling detail, and mournful voice have more in common with J.D. Salinger’s “Nine Stories” or Flannery O’Connor’s “Wise Blood” than with the usual lyrical slant of popular music. Bazan is a gifted storyteller, weaving parables of spiritual conflict, suburban ennui, and personal surrender into magnetic, well-crafted songs.<p>His debut solo full-length album, Curse Your Branches (out now on Barsuk), is a masterwork by a modern American poet at the height of his powers. Paste Magazine called him one of the “100 Best Living Songwriters”. This record is the deepest and most explicit exploration of his struggles with faith and a meditation on all things passed between the generations.</p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>

U2 Tribute with Unforgettable Fire and A Queen Tribute...

U2 Tribute with Unforgettable Fire Unforgettable Fire, or "UF", was born on New Years Day in 1995 as one of the very first U2 tribute bands to ever perform in America. After over thirteen years of playing in some of the most prestigious venues on the East Coast, UF has formed a reputation among many to be one of the closest experiences to being at an actual live U2 show. The members of UF are also very dedicated fans of U2, and will not settle for anything less than complete authenticity. In addition to performing a very impressive array of U2 material from pre-Boy to the most recent How to Dismantle an Atomic Bomb and beyond, the band does everything in their power (from wardrobe to lighting) to recreate the live U2 concert setting for their audiences.

Black Tape For A Blue Girl

Fri, January 14, 2011 Doors: 8:00 PM / Show: 9:00 PM $10.00 Black Tape For A Blue GirlWebsiteMySpaceFacebookWatchLinksBlack Tape For a Blue Girl is an American act formed in 1986. Their music incorporates elements of dark cabaret, gothic, rock, ethereal, ambient and neo-classical music. Fronted by Projekt Records’ Sam Rosenthal, the band’s lineup has changed significantly over time. The current lineup has Rosenthal on programming, guitar and keyboards, Brian Viglione (The Dresden Dolls) on percussion, guitar & bass, and vocalists Athan Maroulis (ex-Spahn Ranch), Laurie Reade (ex-Attrition) and Nicki Jaine. The most notable former member of the band is their long time vocalist, Oscar Herrera & Elysabeth Grant. Former Cellist, Mera Roberts, is currently the lead singer/multi-instrumentalist for Mercurine and Oblivia. The style of black tape for a blue girl is generally described as “gothic”, though their long catalog of music does not often gel with all of the contemporary standards of gothic or darkwave music over time. The lyrcis are by Rosenthal himself and explores powerful emotions of love, vulnerability, isolation, loss, jealousy, and passion. -Last FMIntimate StrangerMySpaceLinksAfter four years of touring Latin America, the UK, Europe and the USA, Intimate Stranger - an international band formed in 2006 by Chilean guitarist Lautaro Vera (Cucsifae, Don Fango, Disturbio Menor) and English/Croatian singer/bassist Tessie S-Woodgate, and drummer Mauricio Muñoz has finally had the breakthrough they deserve with the release of their second album “Under” in June 2010. The title song is getting extensive radio play across the globe, (major US student stations and top South American stations such as Horizonte and Rock and Pop). The video for “Under” is now on MTV and the press reviews for the album and in particular the second single from the album, Nighttime are sensational. Since its formation in 2006, the band has lived in London, Santiago and more recently in Austin, TX playing at venues as diverse as The Rock Garden, and The Dublin Castle in London, The Roxy in Buenos Aires, Club Blondie, Santiago, to the Parish in Austin and the Warehouse in Houston and Tipitinas in New Orleans. Intimate Stranger has performed with: Cheap Trick, Surfer Blood, High on Fire, Anita Tijoux, Carl Stone, The Raincoats, Hello Cuca, Sky Larkin, Crystal Castles and more. Adding keyboardist Ismael Palma in 2008, the new set up with synths and keyboards has further evolved the band's sound, as is reflected in the their new material, which Derek Lactaoen, in Revolver magazine describes as somewhere between the female rock vocals of the Kills and the inviting voice of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, although he adds: Intimate Stranger tends to break barriers when it comes to labeling them with a genre." Karl Nielsen (Head of Marketing at Canal U TV (VITV/Fizz) in London describes the style as “unique and captivating”. March 2010 they pre-released their second album Under, to coincide with their SXSW 2010 full-house Showcase at Maggie Mae’s and a tour of the southern states of the USA (Santa Fe to New Orleans and all the major and college cities on route, supported by strong TV, radio and press including live performances and interviews on Fox, KEYE TV and ME TV). With a growing fan base in the USA and headliner status in Chile at the top venues in Santiago, the band found themselves garnering major coverage on Spin Earth, Spinner, Extravaganza, Revolver, Disorder, Austin 360, EMOL, Music Popular and a half page interview in Chile’s leading national newspaper “El Mercurio."Venue Information: Knitting Factory Brooklyn 361 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 http://ny.knittingfactory.com

BILL EVANS / STEVE LUAKTHER TOXIC MONKEY with WILL...

FEATURING: Bill Evans, saxophones Steve Lukather, guitar Will Lee, bass Keith Carlock, drums Steve Weingart, keyboards Bill Evans and Steve Lukather are teaming up at the Blue Note with a brand new all-star band they call Toxic Monkey with keyboardist Steve Weingart, bassist Will Lee and drummer Keith Carlock. "Toxic monkey represents the no holds barred concept of out of control semi-restraint," Evans says, "or in some circles it's called OCSR. We thought the name really captures this band. It's not a fusion of anything. It's some musicians who come from different backgrounds who like to create music together. Everyone adds their own spice to the mix." "I met Steve Lukather while doing a rock & roll project in Germany a few years ago," says Evans. "I was amazed at the freedom of expression that Lukather has on the guitar. Very few guitar plays play with as much passion and fire as he does." Will Lee and Keith Carlock, whose chemistry Evans describes as "totally unique," hold down the bass and drum chairs. Steve Weingart was introduced to Evans by Lukather. "Weingart is one of the secret weapons of the keyboard. Amazing player," says Evans. Fronting the group along with Evans is guitarist, vocalist, composer, producer, arranger and multi-Grammy award winner, and Musician's Hall of Famer, STEVE LUKATHER. Born in Los Angeles on October 21, 1957, Lukather was enamored with the guitar at an early age. In 1976, Jeff Porcaro and David Piach asked 19 year-old Lukather to join their band Toto. 1982 was a banner year for both Toto and Lukather; Lukather made major contributions to Michael Jackon's famed Thriller album (over 50 million copies sold), and the band's album Toto IV, featuring classics "Rosanna" and "Africa," went platinum and garnered a slew of Grammy awards. Over the next three decades, Lukather continued to be the driving force behind the band's success. In total, Toto has sold over 30 million records. In 1998, Lukather teamed up with Larry Carlton for a tour of Japan, which resulted in the Grammy award-winning live album No Substitutions, released in 2001. Lukather's most recent release, titled All's Well That Ends Well, is a recording he calls "his best work." It will be available in February, 2011. In addition to his successful solo career, Lukather is also known as one of the world's top session guitarists, his sound instantly recognizable on recordings by legendary musicians such as Don Henley, Herbie Hancock, Quincy Jones, Jeff Beck, Alice Cooper, Aretha Franklin, Elton John, Lionel Richie, and Van Halen, to name a few. He has appeared on over 1,200 recordings, 200 of which are gold or platinum records. It is no surprise that BILL EVANS has been called a renaissance man more than once. He has explored a variety of musical settings that go well beyond the confines of traditional jazz. Beginning his career with Miles Davis at the age of 22 (Bill appeared on six recordings with Davis), followed by John McLaughlin, Herbie Hancock and Mick Jagger, just to name a few. This set the tone for multiple Grammy nominations, culminating in his Soulgrass Band, a powerful and eclectic blend of quintessential American styles. His 2006 Grammy nominated Soulgrass CD, featuring Bela Fleck, Sam Bush, Jerry Douglass, Victor Wooten among others, is a seamless and wholly unique hybrid of American styles. The 2007 follow up The Other Side Of Something pushes the Soulgrass genre even further. Bill's 2009 release called Vans Joint features the Grammy award-winning WDR Big Band from Cologne, Germany. The spring of 2010 found Bill touring Japan and Asia With the Randy Brecker/Bill Evans Soulbop Band which featured Steve Lukather and Robben Ford. Bill then teamed up with guitarist Robben ford and toured the summer European music festivals of 2010 with the Bill Evans/Robben Ford Soulgrass Meets Blues. Bill is also heard on the 2010 release The Allman Brothers Band Live at the United Palace Theatre, NYC. Both Evans and Lukather's versatility and unique, all-inclusive approach to music represent the concept behind Toxic Monkey: "I personally get inspired by fresh music thats full of passion," says Evans. "No one holds back in this band. If you are in the room when we play, you can't help but feel the energy emanating from the bandstand. Sometimes its rock and roll, sometimes funk, sometimes jazz. Life is too short for boring music!

Achinoam Nini

Achinoam Nini (NOA) - Special Intimate Show Achinoam Nini (NOA) - Special Intimate Show 8:00pm ABOUT ACHINOAM NINI (NOA)Known in Israel by her given name Achinoam Nini, Noa is Israel's leading international concert and recording artist. Born in Tel- Aviv in 1969, Noa lived in NYC from age 2 until her return to Israel alone at the age of 17. Her family is originally from Yemen. After serving the mandatory two years in the Israeli Army in a military entertainment unit, Noa studied music at the Rimon School where she met her long-time partner and collaborator Gil Dor.Noa's strongest influences come from the singer-songwriters of the 60s, like Paul Simon, Joni Mitchell and Leonard Cohen. These musical and lyrical sensibilities, combined with Noa's Yemenite roots and Gil Dor's strong background in Jazz, Classical and Rock, have created Noa and Gil's unique sound, manifested in hundreds of songs written and performed together. Noa plays percussion, guitar and piano. She is married to Dr. Asher Barak, they have two children, Ayehli and Enea, and live in Israel.On recordOver the span of their 15 year career together, Gil and Noa have written and produced 4 hugely successful Israeli albums : "Achinoam Nini and Gil Dor Live", "Achinoam Nini and Gil Dor " (also known as "Rachel and Leah"), and "Achinoam Nini". Their four international albums are "Noa" (produced by Pat Metheny) and "Calling" (produced by Rupert Hine) for Geffen records, "Blue Touches Blue" (produced by Mike Hedges) for Mercury records and "Now" (produced by Gil Dor & Yoad Nevo) for Universal Music. In addition, Noa has recorded a live album with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra, and a live cd and dvd with The Solis String Quartet. There are also various compilations available. The songwriting duo have sold over a million and a half copies of their current catalogue.Duets and CollaborationsNoa has toured and sang with rock superstar Sting, performed her song "Child of man" with Stevie Wonder for a CBS TV special in the US, and shared the stage and microphone with many great artists, including Carlos Santana, Sheryl Crow, George Benson, Jhonny Clegg, Zucherro, Peter Maffay, Pino Daniele, Rita Marcotulli, Massimo Ranieri, Carlo Fava, Florent Pagny, Jean Jaques Goldman, Lokua Kanza, Jorge Drexler, Joan Manuel Serrat, Miguel Bose, Donovan, Maurane, Eric Serra, Pascal Obispoe, Patrique Bruel, Mike Manieri, Al Dimeola and Bustan Avraham.The EnsembleNoa and Gil have had various different ensembles since their early days as an acoustic duet. Their most long lived musical relationship has been with the extraordinary percussionist Zohar Fresco. The three of them have played hundreds of concerts together all over the world. Recently Noa and Gil have added the wonderful Solis String Quartet to their stage show. The meeting between the Israeli trio and the Neapolitan quartet has brought a wonderful new dimension to Noa and Gil's music.Nini is a singer who tries to enjoy both the worlds of popular and classical music.But as Nini puts it, "there is an intrinsic connection between the music of Gil [Dor, her ongoing musical partner] and myself in our pop activities and classical music. We didn't have to bend our songs. It is a most natural extension."Is this extension indeed that natural? Does it make sense to hear Nini sing with a full symphony orchestra? Does it makes sense for her to perform this way? As a matter of fact, nothing could be more natural. And those who attended the special Sasha Argov concert organized by the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra several years ago, have already seen that Nini can be at her most natural with a full symphony orchestra backing her up.

Leaders of the New School

Thu, December 23, 2010 Doors: 9:00 PM / Show: 9:15 PM $10.00 - $12.00 Leaders of the New SchoolMySpaceFacebookTwitterBuy MusicWatchListenLinksThe Leaders of the New School was a Long Island, New York-based hiphop crew composed of Uniondale, New York, natives Charlie Brown and Dinco D; North Amityville native Cut Monitor Milo; and Busta Rhymes who was originally from Brooklyn but later moved to Uniondale. The four got their start touring with hip hop group Public Enemy and in fact it was member Chuck D who gave Busta Rhymes and Charlie Brown their names.The group made its first appearance on an Elektra Records compilation titled Rubaiyat: Elektra's 40th Anniversary, with a song called "Mt. Airy Groove". It was the only hip hop group on that album. LONS soon joined up with popular hip hop collective the Native Tongues. In 1991, Busta Rhymes and Charlie Brown made a guest appearance on A Tribe Called Quest's hit single "Scenario," and LONS joined ATCQ on The Arsenio Hall Show to perform the track with that group. Its debut album was also released in 1991, titled A Future Without A Past, which included the hits "Case of the P.T.A.," "Sobb Story" and "The International Zone Coaster." The group was praised for its light-hearted content and old-school call-and-response deliveries. LONS's second and last album was T.I.M.E. released in 1993, which stood for "The Inner Mind's Eye". The album was less acclaimed than the group's debut, but it spawned the hip hop hits "What's Next" and "Classic Material." In 2010, Charlie Brown, Dinco D and Cut Monitor Milo have reformed the group and are curently working on an album with producer DJ Johnny Juice.Son of Bazerk w/ No Self ControlArtist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookBuy MusicWatchListenLinksThree guys, one girl, Son of Bazerk featuring No Self Control and the BAND! hail from Freeport, Long Island. Bazerk(Tony Allen) Daddy Rawe(Gary Staton) Almighty Jahwell(Jeffrey Height) 1/2pint( Cassandra Jackson) and The BAND!(Travis Eason)'s debut album Bazerk, Bazerk, Bazerk on the S.O.U.L. record label in the early 90's is a hip hop cult classic. They musically fused old school hip hop, R&B, reggae and everything in between. Definitely ahead of their time (and still are), this phenomenal group was produced by the BOMB SQUAD. Heavily influenced by James Brown and his talented roster of artists, Bazerk and his crew even dressed the part wearing the stylings of the 60's and 70's.They have toured the U.S. on major tours with P.E. and have headlined many times in the 90's overseas in Europe. Although their second album was never released, excerpts can be found on Youtube.com. Bazerk and No Self Control continue to live in Strong Island while the BAND relocated to Georgia. Daddy Rawe headlines with his own band called Soul Explosion under the name PEP the Entertainer, Bazerk has continued to work on projects in hip -hop with artists such as childhood friend Flavor Flav. Almighty Jahwell has also been working hard. 1/2pint has been teaching for the past 13 years at Roosevelt High School and also is now the principal of the Alternative program all located in Roosevelt( Home of Public Enemy). The group has reunited and is currently working on some new material with producer DJ Johnny JUICE Rosado .DJs Johnny Juice (Public Enemy)Artist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookTwitterLinksDJ Johnny Juice was raised in the Bronx and witnessed the birth of HipHop right on his doorstep. Now, a Legendary Strong Island DJ/Producer and EMMY nominated Composer, his work, especially with the first two Public Enemy albums has been embedded into Hip-Hop history. A producer/composer/ arranger/musician/engineer/consultant as well as turntablist, b-boy, graf writer and MC for over 2 decades...he embodies the true spirit of Hip-Hop while following the example set by the pioneers before him. Currently one half of the rebel Rican Hip Hop group...X-Vandals with MC Not4Prophet. My body of scratch and production work spans genres and generations.....J-Zone (DJ)MySpaceTwitterBuy MusicWatchLinks Music:http://www.undergroundhiphop.com/audio/radio/live/index.asp?DJ=J-Zone (Not sure if there's an embed code here)Before I made records that critics loved to hate or ignore, I walked around with a hi-top fade and a walkman that I never took off, even in school. After a short summer internship at Power Play Studios in Queens (where I watched Large Professor work on albums for Akinyele and Roxanne Shante) in 1992 and listening to the sounds of producers like 45 King, Bomb Squad, DJ Pooh, DJ Muggs, Mr. Mixx and Pete Rock, I was convinced I wanted to make beats...and a career in the unstable world of rap! My childhood dream of playing bass in a funk band died after the jheri curl went outta style. I got an SP-1200 and started making home demos. 2 years later, in 1994, I met Vance Wright (Slick Rick’s DJ) who had a studio up in New Rochelle, NY. I started interning/ engineering there at age 17. I learned the basics of engineering and brushed up on my beat making techniques...all while running gofer errands to get Greg Nices turkey sandwiches while he worked on Nice-N-Smooths Jewel of the Nile LP. Grand Puba was there working on his 2000 LP as well. I produced my first joint for Preacher Earl (down with Nice-N-Smooth) called "Fool I Got Your Back" that came out in 1995 and got paid $100. Ballin’! My college senior project was called Music For Tu Madre, an album that eventually became my debut release on my upstart Old Maid Entertainment label in 1999. I followed up with A Bottle Of Whup Ass-The EP (2000), Pimps Dont Pay Taxes (2001), $ick Of Bein Rich (2003) and A Job Ain’t Nuthin' But Work (2004). I also released the Gimme Dat Beat Fool! Remix Project, Experienced!!! (a Hendrix tribute) and a few other limited edition concept based side projects over years. 2006 saw the release of The Bo$$ Hog Barbarian$...Every Hog Has Its Day (an album with longtime collaborator Celph Titled) and To Love A Hooker: The Motion Picture Soundtrack (an instrumental soundtrack to a movie I conceived that doesn't really exist). I no longer MC or record albums, but my alter-ego, Chief Chinchilla, gets the urge sometimes. I produced his debut album, Live @ The Liqua Sto, in 2008. A hilarious collection of minute long malt liquor commercials, Live @ The Liqua Sto is my most recent project and was inspired by the cult classic St. Ides Malt Liquor commercials of the early 1990's. That was my most recent and final project, as I’ve since semi-retired as an artist from the music business. I only come out on Old Timers Day with my socks pulled up high and the old man mid-range jumpshot.Venue Information: Knitting Factory Brooklyn 361 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 http://ny.knittingfactory.com

MAYA AZUCENA

FEATURING: Maya Azucena, vocals Other musicians, TBA Some people are born with jaw-dropping talent, some born with a burning will to succeed, and some are born with a spirit to help those in need. Then there is Grammy winner Maya Azucena, a vocalist so richly talented that she has brought audiences to their feet all over the world. She is so driven that she has released her own music, won countless awards, and toured the planet all on her own. And she's a humanitarian who consistently uses these gifts to help make life better for those who have nothing. Maya's concerts are often described as "spiritual" and "riveting". She's an electric performer with commanding stage presence and passionate delivery. Her music sounds like a cutting-edge version of Aretha Franklin mixed with the fire of Lauryn Hill and the songwriting talent of classic Stevie Wonder. The Chinese press summed it up by saying "Ms Azucena has the power to 'penetrate blocks' and to touch people from different cultural backgrounds." Maya is a true 21st Century success story. Rising from the streets of Brooklyn, her talent took her to the LaGuardia School of Performing Arts (the "Fame" school). Later she formed her band and started honing her performance skills all over the U.S. Her 2nd show found her opening for Gladys Knight in front of 8,000 people. She released her debut CD "Maya Who?!" by herself selling it at shows and from her website. It was this direct connection with fans that led to much of her success. Her collaborations have also helped propel her career. Her duet with Stephen Marley netted her a Grammy Award, a rare feat for an independent artist. Her work with Croatian superstar Gibonni garnered two Croatian Grammy Awards (aka 'Porin'). And her work with Italian superstar DJ Jad had Maya performing on MTV in front of millions. The list goes on and on. Be prepared, Maya's own music is now making its way to the mainstream. Her song "Make It Happen" made it to #3 on the Billboard Dance chart. And you have probably heard her music used by HBO's "The Wire", Ford Motors, NBC's "30 Rock", Verizon Wireless, and numerous others, proving there is a growing demand for sensuous melodies and intelligent lyrics combined with powerful rhythms. Most importantly, Maya Azucena believes that music is a tool for healing and activism. She sang in Washington DC at the Save Darfur Rally along with politicians and celebrities such as Barack Obama and George Clooney. She performed at the United Nations for the International Tsunami Relief show along with musicians from around the world. She produced Hope Night, a concert for domestic abuse awareness, which earned a Proclamation from the House of Representatives. Recently Maya has worked as a Cultural Ambassador representing the U.S. by performing in countries as varied as Sri Lanka, Honduras, and Myanmar. Ms. Azucena is in the final stages of completing her newest CD titled "Cry Love". Musically, "Cry Love" is an energetic, lyrical mix of Azucena's distinctive blend of raw soul music. Initial listens by a major record label executive, as well as by editor-in-chief of a national music magazine, have inspired the use of the word "classic."

What Kind of Love Is This: - The Music of BOB DYLAN...

About This EventMinimum Age:18+Doors Open: 7:30 PMShow Time: 8:30 PMDescription: This is a general admission, standing event. Only a few months away from his 70th birthday, Bob Dylan remains firmly fixed at the epicenter of pop music. A series of sold-out NYC shows and the recent Sony Legacy box set re-release of Dylan’s first eight albums in their original mono mix offer proof that no other musical artist is as timeless, as relevant and as influential. 14th Street Y, the national model for community centers located in the heart of the East Village, is proud to salute the legacy of one of the most bewitching and fecund periods of Dylan’s career with What Kind of Love Is This, a performance tribute to the work of Bob Dylan and The Band. What Kind of Love Is This: The Music of Bob Dylan and The Band will take place on December 5 beginning at 8:30pm at Le Poisson Rouge, an intimate performance space in Greenwich Village. An array of celebrity vocalists will join our all-star band in an exploration of Dylan’s catalog with The Band, one of rock’s most enduring combos. From their revolutionary tours with Dylan as The Hawks in the 60’s, through the legendary Basement Tapes recordings, to their mammoth 1974 reunion tour, echoes of Dylan and The Band’s collaboration has reverberated throughout rock and roll history. Our house band for the evening features John Medeski on keys/organ, Larry Campbell on guitar, Steven Bernstein on trumpet, Kenny Wolleson on percussion, Rob Burger on keys/accordion and Tony Scherr on bass. Additional special guests will be announced shortly. Le Poisson Rouge is the site of the former The Village Gate, a stop on the Greenwich Village Walking Tour, in part because Bob Dylan wrote A Hard Rain's A-Gonna Fall in September 1962 in a basement apartment occupied by Chip Monck, the Village Gate lighting engineer and future compere and lighting designer of the Woodstock Festival. Special guests include: Jolie Holland Laura Cantrell Nicole Atkins John Wesley Harding The Fiery FurnacesArtistsThe Music of BOB DYLAN & THE BANDAn All-Star Tribute featuring:Larry Campbell Larry Campbell is a multi-instrumentalist who has been a studio musician, recording music with other artists on their albums, and a respected sideman, performing as a backup musician in clubs and concert venues, since the seventies. He moves freely between rock, blues, country, folk and Celtic, playing guitar, fiddle, mandolin, pedal steel, cittern, dobro and banjo. In 2005, he released his first solo acoustic guitar album called Rooftops. In 2008, Larry was awarded a Lifetime Achievement Award for his instrumental work from the Americana Music Association. Larry has had extensive experience as a studio musician. Over the past decade, Larry has recorded with Levon Helm, Judy Collins, Sheryl Crow, B. B. King, Willie Nelson and The Black Crowes just to name a few. As a sideman, Larry is probably best known for his time spent in Bob Dylan's band. Larry was a member of Bob Dylan's "Never Ending Tour" band from March 31, 1997 until November 21, 2004. Through his association with Tony Garnier, Bob Dylan's bass player, Larry joined the band, replacing J.J. Jackson as a guitarist and expanded his role to multi-instrumentalist, playing other instruments such as cittern, violin/fiddle, pedal steel guitar,lap steel guitar, mandolin, banjo and slide guitar. He also contributed vocals. When introducing Larry and the rest of the band, Bob Dylan often referred to them as some of the finest musicians in the country. Steven BernsteinJohn MedeskiJohn Medeski's mother taught him to read before he even started school, and his father taught him to play blues and jazz standards on the piano before he learned to walk. So it is only fitting that today John is completely dedicated to the piano, cross-pollinating diverse musical disciplines, and immersed in inventive musical conversation. John may be best known as one-third of Medeski Martin & Wood, but his full body of work goes far beyond that ground-breaking trio. As of late, John can be found performing solo piano recitals, where he explores classical music, lounge songs, and jazz standards in intimate concert venues such as the Chicago Symphony Center and New York City's Merkin Hall, in addition to select dates in Mexico City and Guadalajara. He has also begun scoring films, and it is his score that plays throughout the acclaimed film Day on Fire, which recently screened at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival and the 2006 Toronto Film Festival. Medeski also makes a cameo appearance in the film, playing a piano player and musical accompanist to one of the main characters. John produced and played on the self-titled debut by The Word, a gospel-meets-rock collective with The North Mississippi All-Stars that introduced the secular world to pedal-steel guitar phenomenon Robert Randolph. He also lent his production skills to the New Orleans funk institution The Dirty Dozen Brass Band for their release 'Buck Jump', to gospel instrumentalists The Campbell Brothers' 'Can You Feel It,' and to folk/blues songwriter duo The Wood Brothers (featuring Medeski Martin & Wood bassist Chris Wood and his brother Oliver) on their debut album for the Blue Note label, 'Ways Not To Lose.' A familiar face in New York's 'downtown' scene, John has performed alongside New York-based musicians such as saxophonist/composer John Zorn, guitarist Marc Ribot, Lounge Lizard John Lurie, and slide trombonist Steve Bernstein. In addition, a diverse array of artists have sought out John to join them in the recording studio, amongst them songwriters T-Bone Burnett, Rufus Wainwright, Ray Lamontagne, and kd lang, guitarist John Scofield, punk godfather Iggy Pop, R&B innovator Chocolate Genius, D.J./producer Dan the Automator, jazz pianist Matthew Shipp, legendary funk/jazz saxophonist Maceo Parker, Peruvian singer Susanna Baca, gospel singers The Blind Boys of Alabama, and gospel/R&B vocalist Mavis Staples. Over the past year John has delved deeply into the realm of improvised psychedelic funk with The Itch, a trio that he put together with Soulive guitarist Eric Krasno and hip-hop drummer Adam Deitch specifically to perform at the All Good Music Festival in Masontown, West Virginia. The group's two sets of sweaty, improvised workouts instantly became legend, so much so that The Itch plan to continue making music together. There is also Medeski Scofield Martin and Wood, featuring guitarist John Scofield and Medeski's MMW mates Billy Martin and Chris Wood. The quartet's 'Out Louder' was the first release on Medeski Martin and Wood's own record label, Indirecto Records. Hard to believe that at the age of nine, John nearly gave up the piano, thinking that the instrument was too 'girly' and looking to devote more time to other artistic mediums and a growing social life. Fortunately, John's parents convinced him to stick with the piano just a bit longer. By his early teen years, John enrolled in the prestigious Pinecrest School, a private institution where he began an intense study of classical music and theory while simultaneously studying jazz piano harmony. Of course, it is that very juxtaposition of classical discipline and jazz improvisation which informs Medeski's music to this very day. In fact, John considers himself first and foremost a classical musician. "I was always into classical music," says Medeski. "What the great classical composers were doing at the time was a reflection of what was going on in their world, and I enjoy discovering my own relationships to what they were doing. At the same time, I try to do what the jazz greats always did they play music based on whatever sounds are popular at the time, and then they add something of their own to it." In 1991, while a student at the prestigious New England Conservatory of Music, John Medeski met his future, in the persona of bassist and fellow student Chris Wood. The two moved to New York City, jammed with a drummer named Billy Martin, and a band, not to mention a lasting three-way friendship, was formed. As with most visionaries, artists, and creative-types, Medeski has a multitude of dreams and plans yet to be realized. There will be more solo piano gigs, more musicians to be brought together, and there are ideas for duo projects and band experiments that have yet to be brought to fruition. There are musicians from Morocco and Peru who Medeski has played with, and hopes to play music alongside again. And there is a dream of one day putting together and scoring music for a big band. "There is just an endless stream of stuff that I do," says Medeski. "I like to make music that comes from the most basic need to create. Hopefully, that desire to make music will create something that vibrates and resonates with people, and makes them want to come along for the ride. The whole point of making music is to do something that you really feel from deep inside. "And if you feel it," he says, "other people will feel it too." Rob BurgerBorn in New York, composer, arranger, producer and performer Rob Burger built his musical reputation in the Bay Area during the 1990's, after having received his formal education at the University of Massachusetts in improvisation and classical piano. It was en route to the West Coast that Robert picked up the accordion as a natural extension of his piano studies, and shortly thereafter, that he kicked off his professional career toting his squeezebox alongside the other Bill Frisell Band members on the jazz luminary's North American and European tours. Mr. Burger subsequently co-founded the Tin Hat Trio with whom he toured extensively, co-produced, co-wrote, and recorded four full-length records on various labels. In the meanwhile, Burger utilized his multi-instrumental capabilities collaborating with a diverse range of artists including Rufus Wainwright, Elvis Costello, Lucinda Williams, Antony, Beth Orton, Iron & Wine, Calexico, Richard Buckner, Marianne Faithfull, Susana Baca, Lou Reed and Laurie Anderson. At the end of 2002, after returning to the East Coast, he released a recording of his own compositions entitled "Lost Photograph" on the Tzadik label. A remarkably versatile musician, Burger has contributed as an arranger, and multi-instrumentalist to a number of films including "The Good Girl," "Everything Is Illuminated," as well as a handful of John Zorn's brilliant scores. He has performed the works of Bernard Herrmann with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, has worked on a dozen or so live and recorded projects with music supervisor Hal Willner, including as musical arranger for the Leonard Cohen documentary "I'm Your Man," and composed for the multi-media retrospective "Timescapes: A Portrait Of New York," which now remains a permanent fixture at the Museum of the City of New York. In 2008, Burger wrote the score for the feature film "Diminished Capacity," directed by Terry Kinney, starring Matthew Broderick, Alan Alda, and Virginia Madsen, and released his long awaited soundtrack CD entitled "City Of Strangers" on the Tzadik label in 2009.Tony Scherr Since coming to New York in the 80s, Tony Scherr has become one of the city's most prolific and in-demand sidemen, playing integral roles in the music of such notable artists as Bill Frisell, John Lurie (Lounge Lizards), Steven Bernstein (Sex Mob), and Norah Jones, as well as some of New York's better-kept secrets, such as Jesse Harris and the Ferdinandos, The Wollesens, Ursa Minor, and Slowpoke. Tony has recorded most of these latter artists at his Brooklyn home studio, helping to foster and document a tight-knit, intimate scene of players who are as skilled and daring as they are broadminded and modest. Originally hailing from New Haven, CT, Tony played rock guitar in a garage band with his brother Peter as teens, before the two went their separate ways; Peter to become a concert bassist and film composer, and Tony to slug it out in the clubs of New York, ironically as primarily a bassist himself. His debut album Come Around is a reunion of sorts, between the two brothers, between Tony and the electric guitar, and between the brothers and the rock/song idiom. The lyrical content in particular also charts a deeply personal journey, documenting a process of overcoming catastrophe and a renewed faith in the healing power of music. Above all else, the album serves as a message of hope. Kenny Wollesen Drummer Kenny Wolleson performed on over 30 recordings during the 1990s and, as the decade progressed, gained increasing renown as a musician of astonishing versatility, skill, and ingenuity. He has recorded and toured with all kinds of musicians, from Tom Waits (Wolleson performs on Waits' 1993 collaboration with William S. Burroughs, Black Rider), to Sean Lennon, to Ron Sexsmith (Wolleson performs on his second album, Other Songs). A founding member of the New Klezmer Trio, Wollesen is also all over N.Y.C.'s downtown jazz and avant-garde musicians' recordings, and has been so active as to tour with Bill Frisell and Myra Melford in the same month. — Joslyn Layne Jolie HollandJolie Holland conveys motion and arrival with her fourth album, The Living and The Dead, a work between worlds, of moving on and finding something new, of missed chances, and promises on distant horizons. From the past (the haunting simplicity of "Love Henry,"which Bob Dylan tells us pre-dates the Bible) to the future (the stunning emotional complexity of her song,"The Future"), the Texas-bred singer-songwriter navigates a new rock approach that is built upon the folk, blues and jazz spectors that populated her three acclaimed previous albums. Holland composed these songs in her old home town of San Francisco, as well as on the road across North America and Europe. A few were born during a writing retreat in New Zealand. Arising out of her life stories, and from the rich estuaries of the mysterious tales of other adventurers, her songs are grounded by true experience. The Living and the Dead is an exhilarating ride with a higher voltage than the previous albums, music that had already left fans and critics at a loss to describe her singular vision as performer and writer. Holland worked with co-producer Shahzad Ismaily (Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Two Foot Yard, Marc Ribot's Ceramic Dog) in sessions both in Brooklyn, New York and Portland, Oregon. With contributions from guitar maestros Marc Ribot (who played with Tom Waits and Elvis Costello) and M. Ward (who also produced one song and helped shape the sound of others) and drummer Rachel Blumberg (M. Ward, Bright Eyes, the Decemberists), Holland has created an album that serves as a career statement. Holland's voice is the same beautiful instrument, which has never before sounded so confident, relaxed or emotive. With 2003's Catalpa (essentially home-made demos released due to popular interest and then nominated for the prestigious Short List Music Prize by Tom Waits), 2004's Escondida and 2006's Springtime Can Kill You (which Rolling Stone said "feels better than a good cry"), she evolved a sound that existed in its own time, as if it could have been recorded anywhere between God knows when and yesterday. The Living & the Dead shares that same quality, but its timelessness is rooted in the present. Take Holland's description of the song “Your Big Hands”: "It's just terribly naïve—it’s the kind of song Daniel Johnston made me feel brave enough to write," she says. "It starts out with these beautiful dirty guitar chords from M Ward, almost like a Rolling Stones song...the overall feel of this song owes a debt to Waits' version of rock ala 'Downtown Train'...then, in the middle of the song, all that has disappeared...you feel as though you're wandering around in the woods--there are owls and shooting stars…but then the song burns out with a mess of distorted guitars.”Check out Jolie Holland's Daytrotter Session and an article from Daytrotter. Laura Cantrell "This project feels like a step forward for me," Cantrell notes. "But at the same time, I feel like I'm going back to my roots, making music purely for myself. Delving into these songs allowed me to feel my way through the music and rediscover my instincts." Trains and Boats and Planes features Cantrell's first new recordings in three years, ending a temporary hiatus during which her attentions were focused on raising her new daughter. The new, all-covers collection – available exclusively as a digital release -- adds a vibrant new chapter to the artist's distinctive, deeply personal body of work, which has artfully merged her lifelong affinity for American country and folk traditions with an unmistakably contemporary sensibility. The result is timelessly resonant music that's both personal and thoroughly original. The British daily The Independent called Cantrell "arguably the most vital new country voice in decades," while The New York Times praised "the kind of cosmic wistfulness that the best country and folk music can conjure when it dreams of the past." The Wall Street Journal described her as "sweet and steady, sneaking up on you with a light touch and a sustained passion." London's Sunday Times noted, "She picks great songs to sing, and her clear, understated voice proves the perfect vehicle to convey the emotion-drenched lyrics." Rolling Stone called Cantrell "a modern woman with an old-timey heart, with a voice pitched somewhere between the bluesy realism of Lucinda Williams and the vintage femininity of Kitty Wells." Trains and Boats and Planes explores the time-honored theme of travel, meditating movingly on the heartache of separation and loss. Cantrell delivers deeply-felt interpretations of a diverse set of tunes, including her bittersweet reading of the Burt Bacharach/Hal David-penned title track, along with poignant interpretations of Merle Haggard's "Silver Wings" and Roger Miller's "Train of Life," a wry take on John Hartford's "Howard Hughes Blues," a mournful reworking of New Order's "Love Vigilantes" (also included on the soundtrack album of the documentary film Body of War, alongside the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Neil Young and Eddie Vedder), and an evocative arrangement of the Gordon Lightfoot epic "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald." Cantrell recorded Trains and Boats and Planes in a series of loose, informal sessions at guitarist Mark Spencer's Brooklyn studio Tape Kitchen. The tracks feature Cantrell's live combo, including Spencer on guitar and his former Blood Oranges bandmate Jimmy Ryan on mandolin, plus bassist Jeremy Chatzky (whose resume includes work with Bruce Springsteen and Ronnie Spector) and drummer Steve Goulding (of Mekons/Waco Brothers/Graham Parker and the Rumour fame). The new tracks also feature contributions from noted multi-instrumentalist Ted Reichman on accordion, and rising jazz-pop artist Jenny Scheinman on violin and harmony vocals. "Recording this EP was very affirming, and it was a real pleasure making this music," Cantrell states. "I love these songs, and though some are a bit melancholy, that was part of the process. The songs allowed me to explore the emotional spaces created by some big changes in my life that had left me unsure of my bearings. And I'd always wanted an excuse to record a Bacharach tune." The musical depth and emotional engagement of Trains and Boats and Planes will be familiar to anyone acquainted with Cantrell's prior work. The New York-based Nashville native's richly expressive musical vision draws upon a deep well of musical and personal experience. Growing up in the country music capitol, she was immersed in the music early in life, and furthered her musical education as a tour guide at the Country Music Hall of Fame and Museum. After relocating to New York to attend Columbia University, she began singing in dorm rooms and coffeehouses, performing with groups like Bricks, led by future Superchunk/Merge Records kingpin Mac Macaughan. After college, Cantrell moved to the Williamsburg section of Brooklyn, where she befriended John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants, who recruited her to sing on "The Guitar" on the band's Apollo 18 album, as well as appearing in the video for the song. In 1996, Flansburgh produced and released an EP of her original compositions through his "Hello CD of the Month Club" subscription service. While she was developing her own musical vision, Cantrell was also gaining considerable notoriety playing other people's records as a radio DJ. After a stint on Columbia University's WKCR, she moved to the legendary New Jersey freeform station WFMU. During its 13-year run on WFMU, Cantrell's Saturday-afternoon country show The Radio Thrift Shop became an institution in the New York area—and won an international audience, thanks to online streaming. Balancing her budding performing career with her radio pursuits and her day job at a Wall Street investment firm, Cantrell released her debut album Not the Tremblin' Kind in 2000 on husband Jeremy Tepper's tiny Diesel Only label. The album showcased her original songwriting, as well as her uncanny knack for unearthing obscure vintage country gems and material by contemporary writers. Despite its low-key release, Not the Tremblin' Kind won an unexpected level of national attention, earning countless press raves including a four-star review in Rolling Stone. One of Cantrell's early admirers was Teenage Fanclub/BMX Bandits member Francis Macdonald, who released Not the Tremblin' Kind in Britain on his Glasgow-based indie Shoeshine label. Cantrell soon became a sensation in the U.K., where she received considerable press and airplay and toured extensively. Her British fans included legendary BBC DJ John Peel, who described Not the Tremblin' Kind as "my favorite record of the last ten years and possibly my life," and who would have Cantrell record no less than five prestigious "Peel Sessions." Cantrell's 2002 sophomore release When the Roses Bloom Again earned even more attention, with the artist making high-profile appearances on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and the Grand Ole Opry, as well as being featured on NPR's All Things Considered, Weekend Edition, World Café and Mountain Stage, and profiled in The New York Times' Arts and Leisure section and Oprah Winfrey’s O magazine. She won another high-profile fan in Elvis Costello, who stated, "If Kitty Wells made Rubber Soul, it would sound like Laura Cantrell," and who brought Cantrell along as his opening act on 17 dates of his 2002 U.S. tour. Cantrell moved to the Matador label for 2005's Humming by the Flowered Vine, which featured contributions from producer J.D. Foster and members of Calexico and Ollabelle as well as her regular band. The album was greeted by fans and critics as her most mature and accomplished musical statement yet, and its release was accompanied by her most extensive roadwork to date, including appearances on Garrison Keillor's A Prairie Home Companion and KCRW's Morning Becomes Electric. Having added parenthood to her extensive resume, Laura Cantrell has her sights set on her musical future, with Trains and Boats and Planes pointing the way. "I look at this project as a bridge from the familiarity of my past to what lies ahead," she states. "I'm still working on crossing that span, but with renewed enthusiasm for what's on the other side." http://www.lauracantrell.com Nicole AtkinsNicole Atkins is an American singer-songwriter best known for her work with the band Nicole Atkins & the Sea. Her sound is known for its mix of traditional vocal styles and introspective lyrics. She has been compared to Roy Orbison and singers from the Brill Building era, as well as more contemporary artists like Jenny Lewis. Atkins has called her work "pop-noir."John Wesley Harding Renowned singer-songwriter John Wesley Harding, hailed by Rolling Stone as, “a literate and ironic neo-folkie with enough bile to win over a younger, hipper audience not attuned to folk music,” recently released his latest album, Who Was Changed And Who Was Dead , via Popover Corps/Rebel Group. In support of the record Harding will be reviving his three-show residency at Le Poisson Rouge on March 25, April 15, and May 20. Part variety show and part concert, the Cabinet of Wonders will draw together collaborators from the worlds of music, literature, comedy and even ventriloquism all hand-picked by Harding himself. “I wanted to bring together my novel writing friends (who mostly envy my musician friends) and my musician friends (who mostly envy my novel writing friends) under one flag,” says Harding. “The fact is: I like everyone who’s performing.” <p>You can read about their 11/18/09 show at LPR here.The Fiery Furnaces and more!The Fiery Furnaces are an inventive and often challengingly experimental rock group from Brooklyn, New York. Originally from Oak Park, Illinois — a suburb of Chicago — they consist of the brother and sister team of Matthew Friedberger and Eleanor Friedberger.

JOSE FELICIANO

Lehman Center for the Performing Arts presents the return, by popular demand, of multi-GRAMMY Award-winning singer, guitarist and composer JOSE FELICIANO for two holiday concerts on Saturday, December 4, 2010. There will be a one-hour Special Family Matinee performance at 2pm and a full concert at 8pm. José Feliciano, whose chart-topping recording of “Light My Fire” catapulted him to pop superstardom in 1968, possesses an unmistakable tenor voice that can be heard on nearly seventy albums. He brought the acoustic guitar to a new level and influenced pop music for two generations with songs in English, Spanish, and Italian, crossing over genres of music, from soul to pop, and from Latin to classical. His mega-hits include “Che Sera” and “Feliz Navidad,” named one of the “25 Greatest Holiday Songs of the Century” by ASCAP. Forty-five gold and platinum records, eight GRAMMY® Awards and countless honors and awards signify a career rivaled by only a handful of artists. Lehman Center for the Performing Arts is on the campus of Lehman College/CUNY at 250 Bedford Park Boulevard West, Bronx, NY 10468. Tickets for JOSE FELICIANO Special Family Matinee on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 2pm are $25 (General Admission Seating) and $10 for children under 12. Tickets for JOSE FELICIANO Holiday Concert on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 8pm are: $45, $40, $35 and $30. Tickets can be purchased by calling the Lehman Center box office at 718.960.8833 (Mon. through Fri., 10am–5pm, and beginning at 12 noon on the day of the concert), or through 24-hour online access at www.LehmanCenter.org. Lehman Center is accessible by #4 or D train to Bedford Park Blvd. and is off the Saw Mill River Parkway and the Major Deegan Expressway. Free on-site parking is available. JOSE FELICIANO was born blind to humble beginnings in Lares, Puerto Rico in 1945, one of eleven boys, and moved with his family to NYC at age five. He learned to play the concertina at age six by listening to records and performed at age nine at the Puerto Rican Theater in the Bronx. He taught himself to play guitar, again by listening to records, practicing for as many as fourteen hours a day. Listening to ‘50s rock-n-roll inspired him to sing, and at 17, he quit school to help his family, playing in coffee houses in Greenwich Village. He played his first professional gig that year in Detroit. Shortly thereafter, a music critic writing of his performance at Gerde’s Folk City referred to him as a “10-fingered wizard who romps, runs, rolls, picks and reverberates his six strings in an incomparable fashion.” Feliciano’s major break was in the Spanish market when, after an amazing performance at the 1966 Mar del Plata Festival in Argentina, RCA executives in Buenos Aires asked him to stay and record an album of Spanish music. The first single, “Poquita fe,” was a smash hit, and “Usted” was even bigger. Infusing long-time standard boleros with his own guitar and vocal stylings, he became the teen idol of the day. Two more albums followed, and Feliciano became a star throughout South and Central America, Mexico and the Caribbean. RCA executives in LA then brought him to producer Rick Jarrard, who recommended that Feliciano record a song that Jarrard had heard him sing in concert – “Light My Fire.” By the time he was 23, José Feliciano had had performed throughout most of the world and earned five GRAMMY nominations, winning two for his album Feliciano! In 1996, Feliciano received Billboard's Lifetime Achievement Award, and NYC honored him by renaming Public School 155 in East Harlem the José Feliciano Performing Arts School. He has performed his classical compositions, as well as his guitar transcriptions of works by other composers, with many of the top symphony orchestras. His compositions have been featured in television, films, and on the stage. In 1997, PolyGram released Feliciano's most important recording in many years, Señor Bolero, marking a return to his musical roots, which went double platinum and earned his sixteenth GRAMMY nomination, for Best Latin Pop Performance. 2007’s The Soundtrax of my Life was a collection of original songs recorded over a period of five years, and 2008’s Señor Bachata won a Latin GRAMMY for Best Contemporary Tropical Album as well as a GRAMMY Award for Best Tropical Album. His latest release is 2010’s José Feliciano All Time Greatest Performances. This program is supported, in part, by public funds from the New York City Department of Cultural Affairs, in partnership with the City Council. Lehman Center also receives support from the New York State Council on the Arts.

Kurt Vile & The Violators

Fri, December 3, 2010 Doors: 8:00 PM / Show: 9:00 PM $12.00 - $14.00 Kurt Vile & The ViolatorsArtist WebsiteMySpaceWatchLinks“Kurt Vile (real name, no gimmicks) has seemingly absorbed a lifetime’s worth of FM rock, and the ghosts of Springsteen, Seger, and others glimmer under the surface of his woozy, homemade bedroom pop.” –Pitchfork There's a bunch of clowns all over the USA, all around around the world, cluttering up the rock n' roll stage with studied talent and recycled tunes. Hobbyists and hacks with guitars, eager to churn out a limp performance to kill a night and earn a couple free drinks. And then there's Kurt Vile (the handle his mother gave him) out of Philadelphia. A wild-eyed, baby-faced long-hair who's spent the last 12 years climbing up the stage or setting up in the back of a bookstore to stand, hunched over and giving breathless crowds from 5 to 500+ a string of bona-fide HITS that transcend genre or some passing aesthetic ghetto. He's remained a step outside any scene that's tried to claim him. Whether performing solo or backed by a first class American rock band called the Violators, he's dextrous and confident on the neck of an acoustic or electric, both relaxed and full of life at the microphone. Let the lazy scribes speculate on Kurt's influences. Bruce, Suicide, Neil, Spacemen, Patton, Velvets, dozens of under-sung loners with guitars, whoever. But KV doesn't so much borrow the moves of his elders as he does swallow them up and spit them back as if they were his all along. Listen to him lead the Violators through "Monkey" by the Dim Stars for proof. Each one of these tunes sounded classic the day it was committed to tape. Classic. Rock music has a new hitmaker to deal with. Here he is, freaks, your Childish Prodigy. --Richie Charles (testostertunes.blogspot.com)Purling HissMySpaceWatchLinksMetal MountainsMySpaceLinksVenue Information: Knitting Factory Brooklyn 361 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 http://ny.knittingfactory.com

20th Anniversary Benefit Concert

MNMP's 20th Anniversary Benefit Concert Performances by Darcy James Argue, Claire Chase, David Taylor Tuesday, November 30, 2010 at 6:30pm Joe's Pub, 425 Lafayette Street, New York, NY Ticket Price: $15 standing room; $40 seating; $125 Benefactor All proceeds benefit MNMP’s performance and arts-in-education programs, which serve thousands of New York City public school students on an annual basis. Manhattan New Music Project celebrates its 20th anniversary with a commission for Darcy James Argue and his 18-piece steampunk big band Secret Society — along with performances by Claire Chase of the International Contemporary Ensemble (ICE) and MNMP founding member David Taylor. Praising Darcy James Argue for his talents as a bandleader and composer, the New York Times recently called his work “…a wickedly intelligent dispatch from the fading border between orchestral jazz and post-rock and classical minimalism.” Darcy will debut a world premiere commissioned in honor of MNMP’s late founder and artistic director, Paul Nash. Darcy will also present pieces from his recent album, Infernal Machines (New Amsterdam Records) performed by his 18-piece big band, Secret Society. Infernal Machines was one of the most talked about jazz albums of 2009, featured on over 70 year-end “best” lists, including NPR, Wall Street Journal, and Village Voice. ICE co-founder Claire Chase will perform Steve Reich’s Vermont Counterpoint for solo flute and tape. Declared “dynamic” and “indefatigable” by Time Out New York, Claire is a passionate leader and innovator in 21st century music who has produced events both in the world’s most important concert halls, and in warehouses, galleries and clubs. Claire co-founded the International Contemporary Ensemble in 2001, and the New Yorker has described them as “a powerhouse of new-music programming on a Chicago-New York axis…brilliant and unexpected.” David Taylor, described by the New York Times as “a bass trombonist with a marvelously dark cavernous sound and an attack that is as vividly dramatic as it is virtuosic,” was a founding member of Manhattan New Music Project in 1990. He has appeared as a soloist throughout the world, and recorded with Yo Yo Ma, Itzhak Perlman, and Wynton Marsalis among many others. He will perform works by MNMP founder Paul Nash with surprise guests.

I Love Vinyl w/ DJ Scribe, Amir, The Twilite Tone,...

About This EventMinimum Age:21+Doors Open:10:00 PMShow Time:10:00 PMArtistsI Love VinylFounded in the Summer of 2009, and without a doubt one of the best underground parties in the heart of gotham, Wax Poetics magazine, Halcyon, Raw Fusion, Great Weekend, and Fusicology, present this monthly all-vinyl oasis, featuring a dream team of resident romantics. Sharing deck duties are (six!) resident djs Amir (bbe), one half of the internationally known rare-record collector and mixtape duo, Kon & Amir; prolific beatsmith Ge-Ology (Female Fun), boasting remix credits from Pete Rock to PPP; The Twilite Tone (Great Weekend), both a key player in the seminal 90's Chicago house scene, and long-time producer and dj for Common; New York veterans OP! and Scribe (Raw Fusion NYC), and Jon Oliver (EVR), the baby of the bunch. The sounds are mind-wide, foot-friendly, and snap crackle popping. Anything is fair game, but you can expect to hear some soul, disco, dilla, boogie, hustle, hip-hop, old-school house, no wave, new jack swing, dancefloor jazz, bossa nova, salsa, funk, electro, and afrobeat. No pretentious bullshit, no dress code (not that you shouldn't come sexy as hell), no commercial radio crap, and no laptops allowed.DJ Scribe Scribe fell in love with music at an early age and never fell out. Inspired by Public Enemy and The Pharcyde (among others), in the golden age of hip-hop, he started collecting records. Hip-hop (along with the dancehall reggae and acid jazz of that time), led him back in time to soul, funk, disco, r&b, roots reggae and jazz, and would later grow into a musical repertoire spanning afrobeat, house, broken-beat, latin, and his beloved 80's pop childhood roots. Before he got his first set of 1200s, Scribe taught himself how to mix on live radio at WOBC FM at Oberlin College, where he then began to cut his teeth as a dj at house parties and campus events, eventually opening for A Tribe Called Quest in front of 3,000 people. It was the historic first show on their groundbreaking Low End Theory Tour. Back in NYC after college, Scribe dabbled in hip-hop production under the guidance of Russell Simmons' RUSH Producers Management, and deejayed part-time, opening major concerts for A Tribe Called Quest again, and Digable Planets. Fast forward to present and DJ Scribe has been spinning full-time since 2002. In that time, he has developed numerous notable and acclaimed residencies in NYC: Love Revolution at Joe's Pub, a freeform soul night that often featured Tortured Soul playing live, and guest djs such as E-Man, Carol C. of Si*Sé, Will "Quantic" Holland, Qool DJ Marv, and Ian Friday; Tag, in partnership with Wax Poetics Magazine, whose unique format featured Scribe alternating every other record all night with such legends as Yam Who?, Kool DJ Red Alert, Justin Strauss, Jazzy Nice, Prince Language and Rich Medina; Stone Soup in conjunction with BBE Records; Soulnado, at the world-famous Knitting Factory, a joint effort with DJ Busquelo, fusing the headsnapping broken beat drum tracks of London's underground CO-OP scene with classic dancefloor jazz (another UK staple) played live and fully improvised by rotating top-notch instrumentalists; and one of the most respected parties at Miami's annual Winter Music Conference since 2006: the Raw Fusion Miami party, which has featured the best of the best djs, Spinna, Karizma, Simbad, Daz-I-Kue, Benji B, Phil Asher, Mad Mats, Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire, Karl Injex, and many more. Raw Fusion is a 12-years-running party in Stockholm, Sweden, founded by Mad Mats. In 2008, Scribe, with partner OP!, founded a series of Raw Fusion NYC parties at one of NYC's top dj venues, APT, which featured guest djs such as Simbad, Daz, 7 Samurai, Probe DMS, and live performances by Muhsinah, Kissey Asplund, Taylor McFerrin, TK Wonder, Zaki Ibrahim, Stephanie McKay, Daru, Erik Rico, Cecilia Stalin, and Ivana Santilli. In May 2009, Scribe founded I Love Vinyl, featuring the "Dream Team", six resident djs playing every party together. Ge-Ology, OP!, The Twilite Tone, Amir, Jon Oliver, and himself. The first party, at Le Poisson Rouge's Gallery Bar, was packed and jumping, and they have been ever since. In conjunction with the party, Scribe started a vinyl appreciation page on Facebook which attracted 10,000 fans in 10 days (now nearing 25K+). In March 2010, I Love Vinyl: On the B-Side, the Brooklyn arm of the party, debuted at the fantastic green venue Brooklyn Bowl. A few months later, the I Love Vinyl Dream Team made an even bigger Brooklyn Debut, at the season opener of Prospect Park's Celebrate Brooklyn free summer concert series, where they headlined a gala afterparty for the Norah Jones concert. In addition to creating his own parties, Scribe has shared the marquee at live music venues like the Highline Ballroom, Le Poisson Rouge, SOB's and Joe's Pub with Little Dragon, Antibalas, Chin Chin, Roy Ayers, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Omar, Dwele, Les Nubians, Stephanie McKay, Floetry, Alice Smith, and others; moved the crowd all over Western and Eastern Europe; and traveled extensively within the US and Canada, including multiple appearances at the annual Candela Art and Music Festival in Puerto Rico, Miami's Winter Music Conference, and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival. Scribe has also done extensive studio work with DJ Spinna, including mixing remixes he did for Michael Jackson and Shaun Escoffery, and The Beyond Real Experience Vol.2 album for Spinna's Beyond Real label; as well as producing and mixing much of Tortured Soul frontman Christian Urich's soul project Cooly's Hot Box's album Take It, on Dome records, including the UK classic "Make Me Happy". DJ Scribe spins dynamic sets from the heart, ranging from deep soul to dancefloor killers, acoustic jazz to glitch-hop and techno. But a list of genres can't accurately describe his style, because for Scribe it's all about the right feeling. And that's exactly what it is, the right feeling. Coming to a dancefloor near you.Q and A with I Love Vinyl Party founder, DJ ScribeAmir Like legendary treasure-hunters, Amir has spent the past twenty-five years excavating record bins finding gems to pierce ears with. Fortunately, everyone gets to share in the riches of his labor; Long forgotten musicians are now getting their proper dues and appreciative audiences are being turned on to some amazing music. Since first putting it down with partner Kon in 1997, Amir has co-released a total of eight albums; six On Track installments of critical acclaim, another album called The Cleaning, and most recently, an album appropriately titled, The Kings of Diggin’ along with DJ Muro from Japan. Because of his status as an A-List DJ, it's hard to imagine a time when Amir lacked the authority to choose what music he wanted to listen to. As the youngest in his family, Amir didn’t get to decide on what music the family listened to on the weekends. He begrudgingly absorbed his father’s jazz collection, his mother’s gospel and his older siblings' disco. It wasn’t until he was old enough to listen to the music of his choice, hip- hop, that he fully appreciated the soundtrack of his youth. In early Run-DMC and The Treacherous Three songs he recognized many of the samples used on the beats from his family's music library. When he heard samples he couldn't identify, he would investigate until he found the original source. This came to be his passion; to map the sonic lineage of hip-hop. Thousands of hours, dollars, and record stores later, Kon & Amir are ready to bring five more expertly compiled double-albums to the forefront for us to enjoy. They have managed to salvage some of the greatest music you've never heard. Audiences who are tired of being force fed sub par music will thank them for providing an alternative. As Amir puts it, "We made this for the neglected audience, for people who are looking for mature music. Simply put, these treasures are food for the soul." The Twilite Tone Anthony Khan The Twilite Tone has been electrifying dancefloors since the early 90's in Chicago where he walked the well defined lines between House Music and Hip Hop. Whereas Tone's first release was house 12" "Under the Cherry Tree" & "Just Like Heaven" under the group title 3:26[the alias and numbers to the address of the legendary club The Music Box]. He is credited as bringing a wide variety of music as well as Hip Hop to the mainstream Chicago clubscene which was dominated by House and Techno. Also known as Ynot, He produced and performed on Common's first three albums which includes the classic "Resurrection" LP. In 2005, Tone and friend Lee Douglas [Rong Music] teamed up under the moniker Great Weekend to produce the critically acclaimed "How Do You Feel" single which was featured on the BBE release Prince Language-"Real Music For Real People". In 2008, Tone relocated to New York where he hosted his Great Weekend w/The Twilite Tone event to APT in the meat-packing district of Manhattan on a monthly basis. In 2009, he joined forces with DJ Duane[Other Music/Bimmark/NegroClash] to produce Tha Get Up Great Weekend w/The Twilite Tone and DJ Duane event every first friday at APT. In addition, Tone is a weekly resident at the Mister Saturday Night party at Santos Party House. OP! OP! has joined the ranks of the respected cadre of tastemakers and bootyshakers in the New York underground scene. Homegrown in Brooklyn, his path began there, but along the way has taken him halfway around the globe, from the US to Africa, and back again. Growing up in the golden age of hip-hop, OP! first caught the dj bug from listening to Kool DJ Red Alert and Marley Marl on the radio, and dj battles on Ralph McDaniels’ seminal pre-MTV Video Music Box (little did he know that he would soon be working in both radio and television himself). In high school, a friend of a friend, a dj at a local college, took him under his wing, and soon OP! was djing on that college’s radio station… while still in high school. He went on to become the Hip-Hop Music Director there, and a major musical force on the campus. After college, honored with a Watson Foundation Fellowship to research hip-hop and radio in South Africa, an opportunity to work at the first, and newly formed, commercial youth-oriented radio station there arose, and soon OP! was on a (long) flight to Johannesburg. YFM 99.2 exploded onto the scene (the station has well over 3 million listeners now) with OP! (formerly know as Absolut) eventually working on three ongoing shows, including his own mixshow, one of the first hip-hop mixshows in South Africa. After two years, having become a well-known and respected hip-hop dj there, OP! came home to Brooklyn. He spent the next years cutting his teeth in the industry at TVT, 88 Hip Hop, and then Sub Verse, where he played a central role in the then emerging solo career of MF Doom, overseeing the re-release of KMD‘s shelved sophomore album, Black Bastards, and Doom’s groundbreaking first solo effort, Operation Doomsday. With his feet firmly planted in the industry, OP! turned his attention back to the turntables. This move has seen OP! spinning at such notable events as Rich Medina’s Connect the Dots Loft Party, the RMFRP event at WMC 2005 in Miami, the RMFRP event in NYC, the Black August Building Sessions, and the Escape 2 Brooklyn parties. And on the live side, OP! has shared the stage with legends like The Roots, De La Soul, Poor Righteous Teachers, Executioners, and Hieroglyphics, and future legends from Alice Smith to Tortured Soul. Jon OliverJon Oliver is a true DJ commando. His resume counts over 35 venues played just in the 5 boroughs and good deal more sprinkled across the globe from Houston and LA to Sweden and Estonia. On his spare time he hosts a weekly show on eastvillageradio.com and blogs tales from the trenches at jonolivermusic.com. Jon Oliver's new Slang Inc Podcast is available on iTunes. Listen to it here. Ge-Ology Poised for a decisive coup d'état of the mundane, "G-YOUNG" aka "GE-OLOGY," drafts plans of global domination through aesthetic means. Declaring all out war on artistic mediocrity, his arsenal of ideas and creative weaponry is a testament of his inventive prowess. With art & music as ammunition, his advance through life's chess match has him destined for great accomplishment. Back in the late 80's under the name "DJ Plainterror", GE-OLOGY was once the DJ/producer of a four member group "Born Busy" including high school friend, the legendary Tupac Shakur "MC New York"... uniquely cementing him historically as the only producer privileged to record Pac's very first and earliest recordings. And in the early 90's he co-founded the infamous "Dooable Arts" with Matt Reid aka "Matt Doo", through which he first made his mark. Since then he's become synonymously known for album cover art, T-shirt graphics, magazine illustrations and collaborative mural paintings with his fellow Barnstormers crew (a famed artist collective created by Davd Ellis aka SKWERM), as much as he's known for producing tracks with the likes of Mos Def, Vinia Mojica, Talib Kweli, Sadat X, Pharoahe Monch, Jem, Mystic or his remixes for Pete Rock & Grand Agent. Boasting international acclaim, one of his most recognized paintings is the Rawkus classic "Body Rock" cover featuring Mos Def, Q-Tip and Tash from Tha Alkaholiks (featured in Andrew Emery's "The Book of Hip Hop Cover Art" and listed at #3 in "EgoTrip's Book of Rap List" 25 Great EP, 12" & CD Single Covers section). But to truly understand GE-OLOGY, one must not underestimate his influence, depth and versatility. Embracing the sacred principles and wisdom of great masters yet challenging convention with youthful rebellion, GE-OLOGY's instinctual balance is somewhat of an anomaly in today's clone driven mass-produced digitized society. His recognizable identity through sound, vision and consistency hasn't gone unnoticed, thus resulting in a steady stream of exposure in numerous magazines such as XLR8R, The Fader, Frank 151, Style and Urb; cable network staple MTV News "You Hear It First"; and creative involvement in projects with international corporate giants such as Sweden's Hennes & Mauritz (H&M stores) and the prestigious French cognac maker Hennessy. Though creatively venturing from the street level to infiltrating the creative commercial world, GE-OLOGY has never wavered from keeping his craft responsibly honest to the delight of longtime supporters... always maintaining his creative integrity. As evident in the barrage of fan mail from his international core audience, GE-OLOGY continues to open eyes... and this is only the beginning. More exclusively, the GE-OLOGY name is somewhat of a boutique brand equally respected in music and visual art. He was chosen from a handful of artist/celebrities to individually hand paint sneakers for a private New York exhibition launching the widely displayed K-Swiss campaign. He's one of seven artists chosen to collectively paint outdoor murals and model for the Barnstormers featured H&M advertising blitz. Painting duties for the collective included: a house in the Pasadena hills, a floating midsize boat, a car, canvases, skateboards, a performance stage, etc. Further recognition of his talent lead to expand the campaign's concept to include a 6-song GE-OLOGY music sampler (H&M presents GE-OLOGY, "Nomadic Disorientation") in conjunction with the H&M/Barnstormer print ads. All of which were launched by a media-frenzied SoHo gallery opening and month long exhibition, "Billboards", in which he and many other recognized artists collaboratively resurfaced two 50 ft. life-size billboard reproductions from earlier Barnstormer painted barns and a full-size 18 wheeler truck. The exhibition served as a fundraiser for the non-profit youth organization "Art Start" and gave the artists a unique opportunity to interact and paint with the kids, who collaborated on some of the gallery paintings as well. In addition, H&M's website featured 3 looped GE-OLOGY instrumentals, 2 video trailers scored with his music and a page featuring him and each of the six other Barnstormer artists from the campaign. Currently, he's on the verge of setting up his first international solo art show, releasing his first full-length LP, a coffee table art book, a mix CD and working with a collage of artists and sound palettes that span the spectrum beyond categorized limitations. Redefining sound and space, contrast, hue and texture... that is GE-OLOGY... complex, simplistic, versatile, intricate.

MC Chris

Tue, November 23, 2010 Doors: 7:00 PM / Show: 8:00 PM $12.00 - $14.00 MC ChrisArtist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookTwitterWatchLinksmc chris (Christopher Ward) was born and raised in the north shore suburbs of Chicago. Upper middle class, chris grew up on a steady diet of G.I Joe, Star Wars and rented betamax tapes. In high school, chris was a big fan of counter culture hip hop after hearing public enemy for the first time. That was followed by alternative hip hop acts, the Pharcyde, De la Soul, Tribe Called Quest, and Black Sheep. chris memorized it all. At eighteen, he was accepted to the School of the Art Institute of Chicago where he studied life drawing, video production and screenwriting. Leaning towards film, chris transferred to New York University in New York City. There he interned on “The Adventures for Pete and Pete,” wrote giant screenplays and made music on his suitemate’s 8 track. Like Run DMC and the Beastie Boys, mc chris recordings began in an NYU dormroom. After school, mc took on a series of production assistant jobs including the final year of Michael Moore’s series, “The Awful Truth.” He served as production assistant on “Aqua Teen Hunger Force” as well as “The Brak Show.” He voiced MC Pee Pants four times, five including the movie (“Aqua Teen Hunger Force Colon Movie Film for Theaters”) six including the video game just recorded in LA. His voice also appears in “The Brak Show” where he wrote two episodes, including a rap opera which guest starred cee-lo (after his first solo album, pre gnarls.) During his entire stint with Adult Swim, mc was writing rhymes, recording music and self releasing albums. Albums were followed by tshirts. And the money rolled in. Adult Swim never had a problem with mc moonlighting as a rapper, they in fact continue to make commercials for his albums and drop his website every once in a while in their black and white cards. They encouraged chris to give the music a chance full time and he did. After one month of touring, mc had made twice his annual salary. All shows had sold out. Lines wrapped around the venues. mc was in no way expecting a slam dunk but that’s what it was. After a year of doing pretty much nothing but touring, mc took off half a year to make his fourth album, dungeon master of ceremonies. It premiered at number 13 on itunes hip hop the day it was released, it peak at number nine after mc asked his fans to bump him into the top ten and onto the homepage. The album was followed by a record breaking tour and articles in Newsweek, High Times, and Playboy.MC Lars & YTCrackerArtist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookTwitterWatchLinks"I want to be someone who people recognize and want to come to see, but stayed true to their art and message through their whole career. I want to be able to tour the world and play sold out shows. I'd love to have some mainstream exposure to subversively bring my ideas into the popular eye, as long as I don't have to compromise what I'm doing for the sake of popularity. I want to work with more artists that I admire and be known for having one of the most fun live touring shows that has ever hit the road. I'd like to die having put out one of the most original greatest hits albums in the history of the popular music. That would be awesome." MC Lars It isn't easy being a Post Punk Laptop rapper. You're forced to lead a genre that doesn't exist, navigate around cookie cutter superstars, push yourself to make music unlike anything else on earth and spend every penny of your own money to get it all done. You meet kids at every tour date who love what you do, yet turn on MTV and see homogenized puppets that regurgitate their genres and make piles of dough in the process. You push the boundaries of DIY and give major labels the middle finger. You hope (and know) that this will be all worth it some day. MC Lars is a member of what he dubs the "iGeneration," a group born and raised in the time of the Ninja Turtles, cassette tapes and new wave music, who now live in the age of Gossip Girls, iPhones and screamo bands. These are the kids who have grown up using the Internet as a part of their every day life. They can conveniently carry 30,000 songs in their pocket, but are faced with the glooming fact that the world's oil supply and Social Security will both run out in their lifetime. MC Lars is the hero of this new generation, addressing their thoughts and every day struggles in his music.Schaffer The DarklordArtist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookWatchLinksSchaffer the Darklord (or STD) is a New York City-based rapper and comedian with subversive material best-suited for brainy and/or decadent audiences. With manic energy, verbose vocabulary and cartoonishly commanding stage presence, STD skewers such topics as religious zombies, sci-fi sex fantasies, grammar snobbery and obsessive cat-enthusiasts. Imagine a Frankenstein-esque monster assembled from equal parts Bill Hicks, Eminem, Prince, Ozzy Osbourne and Darth Vader, stitched together inside the shell of a maniacal heavy metal ex-patriot.Venue Information: Knitting Factory Brooklyn 361 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 http://ny.knittingfactory.com

This is an 18+ show ALL TICKETS FROM HIGHLINE BALLROOM WILL BE HONORED "The way that I make is my own, but I know what I'm in for," sings Tim Warren, front man and co-founder of The Alternate Routes. Whatever fate has in store for this promising young band, it's sure to make for a good story and an even better song. The Alternate Routes have never been afraid to roll the dice during their brief and turbulent journey, always relying upon their heartfelt brand of music to pull them through the ups and downs that come with the territory. It's a trait evident in their powerful Vanguard Records debut, Good and Reckless and True, a memorable, incredibly confident opening statement from a band that takes nothing for granted.

Claudio Baglioni

Claudio Baglioni, a musician, composer, author, writer and architect, is one of the most loved artists as well as one of those most appreciated by the audience and critics in the history of popular Italian music. He was born in Rome in 1951 and he studied piano and guitar, harmony and composition. In 1967 he completed his first opera, a suite, based on the poem “Annabel Lee” by E. A. Poe. In September 1970 his first album was released: “Claudio Baglioni”. Since then, Baglioni has published – in Italy only – 14 original albums, 10n live albums, 2 albums as protagonist and several collections of hits. He recorded in Italian, Spanish, French, English, Portuguese, Maltese, German and Polish. He created 360 compositions – songs and suites – as well as 4 operas. He composed the 1994 world swimming championships hymn, the 1998 Italian national football team hymn, the hymn of the 2006 Winter Games and the hymn of the 2009 World Swimming Championships. He has to his credit 3 books, 4 photograph books and several collections of works. He was the leading character, gaining record audience, of two cult TV series “Anima Mia” (1997) and “L’Ultimo Valzer” (1999). He, furthermore, produced 3 soundtracks. Besides Italy, he performed in all of Europe, in Canada, the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Peru, Venezuela, Mexico, Japan, and Turkey as well as in many African countries. He performed in the major football stadiums (since 1981 a hit in Italy with the “Alè-òò” tour, a song that became the hymn of many fans throughout the world) and indoor stadiums, auditoriums, classic theatres, greek and roman amphitheatres and theatres in archaeological sites. As an architect, he planned seasonal outdoor theatres, an innovative touring theatre for 5000 spectators, the restoration of the entire gas factory area (gazometro) in Rome meant for entertainment and social activities. On the night of the change of century (1999-2000) he performed a special concert, the sole one consisting of popular music ever held in Saint Peter’s Square, before 300.000 people and His Holiness John Paul II. In 2007, at the shrine of Loreto, he closed the World Youth Day, Before one million people arriving from the entire world and Pope Benedict XVI. He was the main Italian performer in the “Human Rights Now Tour” for Amnesty International and one of the authors of the World Food Day Concert, the concert-meeting in favour of the FAO, held in front of the Coliseum and 700.000 spectators, and of “Live8” the mega concert held simultaneously in ten of the main world capitals against poverty and in favour of the cancellation of the national debt of the developing countries. His tour “Tutti Qui” was declared a “record tour” due to the number of repeats, while the tour “Tour Rosso” boasts the highest attendance ever. The 1998 concert-show, “Da me a te”, held in the Stadio Olimpico of Rome (sold out two nights on two), detains the record of tickets sold in any event: 86.500 spectators and many artists on stage, 500 musicians, dancers, acrobats, performers in a global performance. The following year, “Incanto” tour, he performed, singing and playing the piano, 70 concerts in opera theatres. Having experimented all music styles and made many experiences, and in pursuit of new expressive languages, Baglioni worked, among others, with Vangelis, Louis Bacalov, Ennio Morricone, Nicola Piovani, Lorin Maazel, Youssou’n Dour, Bruce Springsteen, Peter Gabriel, Bob Geldof, Paco De Lucia, Sting, Jerry Marotta, Tony Levin, Gavin Harrison, Khaled, Pino Palladino, David Sancious, Art Garfunkel, Steve Ferrone, Pino Daniele, Mia Martini, Manu Katchè, Andrea Bocelli, Laura Pausini, Gianni Morandi, Riccardo Cocciante, Phil Palmer, Vinnie Colaiuta, Danilo Rea, Montserrat Caballé, Astor Piazzolla, Richard Galliano. He worked with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, with the London Symphony Orchestra, the Rome Sinfonietta, the Orchestra of the Santa Cecilia Academy, with the band of the Carabinieri and other Italian orchestras and band groups. Since seven years he has been the creator, promoter, organizer an leading character of “O’Scià”: a festival of arts and music entirely dedicated to immigration and cultural integration and that hosted over 200 international and Italian artists. To sensibilize institutions, political parties, public opinion and media Baglioni – second artist in the word - upon invitation of the European Parliament, performed in Brussels (sept. 2006) in an exclusive concert held in the Plenar Hall in the Hemicycle of the Spaak Building. And on 13 December 2006, “O’Scià” becomes a Foundation. In February 2009 the movie QUESTO PICCOLO GRANDE AMORE was released (a story inspired to the events of his first hit album “1972” title track of which was voted song of the century) with Baglioni as screen scripter and scriptwriter together with Ivan Cotroneo for Medusa Film; in spring he published the book QPGA for the first time as a novelist for Mondadori. The book was so successful that it was reedited 5 times and in summer the tour inspired by it continued in 52 Italian scenes among which the Greek Theatre in Siracusa and the Arena of Verona. On 27 of November, his last “quadruple project” the album “QPGA” was released and includes 52 songs and 150 minutes of extraordinary music. It also includes the participation of over seventy artists as Ennio Morricone, Andrea Bocelli, Jovanotti, Louis Bacalov, Joseph Calleja, Negramaro, Antonello Venditti, Mina, Ornella Vanoni, Laura Pausini, Giorgia, Gianni Morandi, Riccardo Cocciante, Alice, Franco Battiato, Angelo Branduardi, Pino Daniele, Renzo Arbore, PFM, Pooh, Stefano Bollani, Giovanni Allevi, Danilo Rea, Stefano Di Battista. An exceptional musical cast that no other Italian or international production has ever put together. It is not only a simple collection of songs, but also the meeting of different music styles: overtures, preludes, interludes, musical themes and melodies that meet and chase each other. It is, obviously, a popular Italian opera. A fusion of rock, pop, classic and jazz as far as arrangements and sounds are concerned. A consistent work in which the song were performed live before being recorded. A double album that can be defined “extraordinary”: not standard, special, beyond traditions. This double album was presented during the "ConcertOpera" tour, an uncut live performance of the popular modern work “Q.P.G.A” that started in Milan December 5, 2009 and ended in Genoa January 10, 2010. It is a new super production, for an intense and strong sound universe in which the love story that moved more than a generation meets, the first time ever, all the narrative breathe, the thematic breadth and the depth that, until now, we had only had the chance to grasp and that only a great artist as Baglioni, a dream catcher, could give us.

Dungen

Fri, October 15, 2010 Doors: 9:30 PM / Show: 10:00 PM $15.00 - $17.00 DungenArtist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookTwitterWatchLinksDUNGEN FAMILJKemado Records | MySpace Music VideosIn what feels like a very short decade, Sweden’s Dungen has mutated at a furious pace. Main man/ producer/ arranger/ singer/ golden child Gustav Ejstes’s lone constant has been change. Take the leap from Dungen’s self-titled 2001 debut, featuring long psilocybic exploratory tracks of aural tomfoolery, to next year’s Stadsvandringar, which found Ejstes coming to grips with the language of rock. It all converged with the zeitgeist that is Dungen’s third album, Ta Det Lugt, an album that ignited the blogosphere so that it glowed like the aurora borealis. Not content to revel in such accolades, Tio Bitar flashed the band’s pop smarts as well as their incandescent freakouts while 4 put the band’s cohesiveness on display, at once gorgeous and biting. For those who don’t have their English-Svenska Dictionary close at hand when plunking/ popping/ importing Dungen’s sixth album Skit I Allt into their respective LP/CD/ MP3 listening devices, let’s make sure the title doesn’t get lost in translation: “Fuck All.” Really? Should we be expecting a nihilistic punk album? “For me, it means ‘Don’t give a shit, forget about it, just go ahead and do it,” laughs Ejstes. “Skit I Allt is about a certain feeling: you’re with your friends and mates, all hanging out till 6 in the morning. You’re the last one left at the party and you call this person that you want to be with. They’re asleep, but they still say, ‘Ah, fuck it, come over.’ It’s that feeling.” While the album is stuffed with concise songs (nothing running beyond five minutes) there are already candidates aplenty here for Dungen’s live blotter-fueled sonic maelstroms. ““Hogdalstoppen” (named for a massive junkyard near Ejstes’ flat) is already a massive instrumental track that we’ve started expanding between 5 and 15 minutes,” Ejstes says. Perhaps the instrumental “Blandband” (trans. “Mixtape”) exemplifies the Dungen philosophy best. A mélange of bright piano chords, snaking lead guitar, and weightless woodwinds, it twists and turns like a forest path. The song was inspired, says Ejstes, “by a friend made me a cassette recently and I missed that antiquated way of listening. I like finding out about music fast but at the same time, I like listening to whole albums. I conceive Dungen music in that same way: side one, side two, a journey.” Enjoy the trip.The Entrance BandWatchVenue Information: Knitting Factory Brooklyn 361 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 http://ny.knittingfactory.com

About This EventMinimum Age:18+Doors Open: 7:00 PMShow Time: 8:00 PMDescription:This is a first come seated event. Seating is limited and not guaranteed; please arrive early.This show is presented by Hit Week.ArtistsNegritaNegrita start their musical career in 1992 as Pau, Mac and Drigo hang around the same places and schools in the provincial town of Arezzo (Tuscany) with a wild love for rock and blues… well before being signed they show the Italian audience their great impact and energy, building their profile as a unique live rock band. Their debut album released in 1994 “NEGRITA” (Polygram/Mercury) immediately reveals the essence of the band: irresistible guitar riffs, “stainless” rhythm section, powerful bass grooves and incisive vocal lines delivering relevant messages to the audience. Since then each album rises the media and audience attention by a constant growth and experimentation of new musical and contents lands, both thanks to their eagerness for cross-over and their journeys. They soon tour beyond the national borders in Switzerland, France - “Printemps De Bourges Festival”, Belgium, Turkey -“European Rock Festival”, more recently in Argentina (last tour in march 2009), Uruguay, Chile, Brazil, Spain supporting the band Bersuit Vergarabat (releasing their album “Helldorado” in Argentina in April 2009). Though keeping their unmistakable style, they achieve to express themselves in many genres: from the authentic blues vein of “XXX” (recorded in the U.S. in 1997), to the hard rythms and electronic sounds of “RESET” (1999, platinum award in Italy from which the single "Hollywood" was nominated in the European MTV Music Awards, the first nomination of three ), going through the new rock/funk/blues vibrations of “RADIO ZOMBIE” (with a great tour following it) and the multi-cultural sounds & lyrics of “L’UOMO SOGNA DI VOLARE” (2005). This last one is a new important step in Negrita’s career, a journey through the artists’ mind and soul, born from the South American tour, a mix of different sounds from Funk to Blues – with the richness of Brazilian drummers such as (Peu meurrey ands Itajata jose de Sa) – from elecctro-raggae (“Mother”) to Punk (“Il mio veleno”), from The Beatles (“Tutto bene”, sung by Drigo) to the latine atmosphere of Teresa; from Balcanic influences- Mac comes from Croatia- to Jamaican and Sicilian’s ones (“Il Branco”). That year the band takes part to the “LIVE 8” in Rome. “Rotolando Verso Sud” wins the best video Italian Award 2005. While working on the new album, the bands members carry out several new projects like “Zona Bastarda” (Dj sets with Pau and Mac), and “Rock Notes” (a recital, guitar and voice, taken from the book written by Drigo, “Rock Notes”, 2007, Mondadori ed.) In September 2008 the new single “Che rumore fa la felicità”, announces the release of Negrita’s new album “HELLdorado”, a musical and conceptual journey on the contradictions of the contemporary world: a 360° exploration on sounds and lyrics (in Italian, Spanish, French and Portuguese), whereby Africa, LatinoAmerica, Jamaica and Spain are the grid references for the wide musical universe of the band in these last years. All mixed with a rock’n’roll attitude quite uncommon both in Italy and abroad. Thanks to its international collaborations and inspiration it addresses a worldwide community and speaks to everyone. The following two singles, “Radio Conga” and “Gioia Infinita” soon become public and critics acclaimed hits on the radios and they mirror the unprecedented success of the “Helldorado Tour 2009”, acclaimed as the best tour of Negrita’s career: 11 dates in February, 40 dates in the summer, most of the dates register a SOLD OUT. Helldorado was released in Spain on May 4th and was followed by a successful promo tour in the best iberic venue & cities (Madrid, Valencia, Barcelona and Bilbao) followed by a great gig at the Electric Ballroom in London on June the 9th. Negrita are currently working on their next album. HELLdorado is the western world we live in, it is the joy and the pain in a constant status of eternal contradictions. Roy Paci & Aretuska and Ray Mantilla, percussionRoy Paci & Aretuska are a pop/world music/jam band based in Italy who over their years of work became a favorite on both the European festival circuit and world music charts alike. Roy Paci got his first bugle at age 13 and began playing with regionally known groups like Hot Jazz Orchestra of Augusta and the New Royal Big Band almost immediately. In his early teens he gained touring experience playing in some of Italy's most famous jazz clubs as he transitioned from big-band work to playing with quartets and quintets. Paci moved to South America in 1990, playing with important big bands and pop artists in Argentina. Having gained important experience playing a variety of South American styles, Paci moved back to Italy. In addition to forming his award-winning group Rosariosa Acme Project, he performed a recorded with a variety of Italy's most influential pop artists, including Mau Mau. Over the course of the next decade Paci would go on to collaborate with internationally known artists like Zap Mama, Manu Chao, Trilok Gurtu, and more. In 1998 Paci founded the independent label Etnagigante with the aim of promoting emerging Sicilian musical acts. His band Aretuska released their debut disc, Baciamo, in 2002, followed a year later by Tuttapposto. The ten-piece group released their third record, Parola d'Onore, followed two years later by SuoNoGlobal. Their 2007 release landed a consistent spot on World Music Charts Europe's Top 20 throughout the year of its release. Album single "Toda Joia Beleza," featuring longtime friend Manu Chao, earned the band significant pop notoriety and a busy touring schedule throughout 2007 and into 2008.Après la Classe The band from Salento, in the region of Puglia, Southern Itay, was born in 1996 and soon states a name for itself among the clubs in Puglia. In 2002 “APRÈS LA CLASSE” debut their firs album with the music label “Edel”, and from here they start to play live concerts all over Italy. After a long and energetic tour the band becomes successful in no time among the Itaian public. In 2004 their second album, “UN NUMERO” is out. This mark the band’s new direction towards musical worlds that drift away from the conventional Italian music scene. The stage becomes the real “home” for the band from Salento, and their tours become more and more crowded and followed. In 2005 they are recognized as the new breakthrough band by the association “SUPER CLUB LIVE”. In 2006 LUNA PARK, their third studio album, comes out. The same year the band celebrates their 10th anniversary in the music scene with Sud Sound System, Caparezza and Negramaro in an unforgettable concert in Sternatìa, Lecce. After that they start another tour that will last for 2 years and tape the most important concerts. These tapings will be published in the Luna Park Live CD, a special collection dedicated to all their fans. The tour ends in February of the following year. In April 2010 they debut their new album ”MAMMALITALIANI” for “SUNNYCOLA the label of CAPAREZZA, who has been a very good friend of the band for years, so much that he joined forces with them on the track of their first album “Lu Sule Lu Mare Lu Jentu” distributed by “Universal Music Italia”. The band decides to concentrate mainly on the audio quality and so come up with a rare album where new ideas and new types of sounds mix up with the live experience, several electronic sounds and original songwriting.

DJ Scribe (I Love Vinyl) Presents: - The End of the...

About This EventMinimum Age:21+Doors Open:10:00 PMShow Time:10:00 PMDescription: The End of the Night is a new weekly exploration into sound and movement. The End of the Night will feature a far-reaching selection of long-form, challenging, left of dance, music for sure-footed dancers and adventurous listeners. Songs will be played in full, for the most part, with little mixing, in the tradition of David Mancuso/The Loft. The name refers to the music being what you might usually only hear at the end of the night, when both the dj and the dancers have more room to stretch out. House dance scene fixture/documentarienne Amanda Adams Louis, aka Lafotographeuse, will be on hand to capture the energy for posterity. I am super excited to begin this journey. All that wish to come along are welcome. I want to nurture a community/family vibe, and a safe, exploring space for dancers and listeners who are open to a wide range of music. To say that there will be nothing commercial is an understatement. There will hardly be "classics". What there will be, or what I am endeavoring to bring to this, is a breath of fresh air, music you may know, music you may not, and my passion for good music of all kinds. To even mentions genres would be antithetical to the freeform nature of the party. Quality, creativity, beauty, love, respect, and the pulse, be it loud or soft, fast or slow, will rule the day. I want to say explicitly, since it is one of the main things that has been lost in the commercialization of nightlife culture, that diversity and inclusiveness of all kinds (age, gender, heritage, orientation, nationality, etc.) are absolutely necessary for the success, in my mind, of this endeavor. That means that you, whoever and wherever you are, are warmly invited. I know this is an unlikely and Utopian endeavor, and that's exactly the kind of party I hope to build with you. -Ben Goldfarb aka DJ Scribe This is a general admission gallery event. ArtistsThe End of the NightDJ Scribe Scribe fell in love with music at an early age and never fell out. Inspired by Public Enemy and The Pharcyde (among others), in the golden age of hip-hop, he started collecting records. Hip-hop (along with the dancehall reggae and acid jazz of that time), led him back in time to soul, funk, disco, r&b, roots reggae and jazz, and would later grow into a musical repertoire spanning afrobeat, house, broken-beat, latin, and his beloved 80's pop childhood roots. Before he got his first set of 1200s, Scribe taught himself how to mix on live radio at WOBC FM at Oberlin College, where he then began to cut his teeth as a dj at house parties and campus events, eventually opening for A Tribe Called Quest in front of 3,000 people. It was the historic first show on their groundbreaking Low End Theory Tour. Back in NYC after college, Scribe dabbled in hip-hop production under the guidance of Russell Simmons' RUSH Producers Management, and deejayed part-time, opening major concerts for A Tribe Called Quest again, and Digable Planets. Fast forward to present and DJ Scribe has been spinning full-time since 2002. In that time, he has developed numerous notable and acclaimed residencies in NYC: Love Revolution at Joe's Pub, a freeform soul night that often featured Tortured Soul playing live, and guest djs such as E-Man, Carol C. of Si*Sé, Will "Quantic" Holland, Qool DJ Marv, and Ian Friday; Tag, in partnership with Wax Poetics Magazine, whose unique format featured Scribe alternating every other record all night with such legends as Yam Who?, Kool DJ Red Alert, Justin Strauss, Jazzy Nice, Prince Language and Rich Medina; Stone Soup in conjunction with BBE Records; Soulnado, at the world-famous Knitting Factory, a joint effort with DJ Busquelo, fusing the headsnapping broken beat drum tracks of London's underground CO-OP scene with classic dancefloor jazz (another UK staple) played live and fully improvised by rotating top-notch instrumentalists; and one of the most respected parties at Miami's annual Winter Music Conference since 2006: the Raw Fusion Miami party, which has featured the best of the best djs, Spinna, Karizma, Simbad, Daz-I-Kue, Benji B, Phil Asher, Mad Mats, Freddie Cruger aka Red Astaire, Karl Injex, and many more. Raw Fusion is a 12-years-running party in Stockholm, Sweden, founded by Mad Mats. In 2008, Scribe, with partner OP!, founded a series of Raw Fusion NYC parties at one of NYC's top dj venues, APT, which featured guest djs such as Simbad, Daz, 7 Samurai, Probe DMS, and live performances by Muhsinah, Kissey Asplund, Taylor McFerrin, TK Wonder, Zaki Ibrahim, Stephanie McKay, Daru, Erik Rico, Cecilia Stalin, and Ivana Santilli. In May 2009, Scribe founded I Love Vinyl, featuring the "Dream Team", six resident djs playing every party together. Ge-Ology, OP!, The Twilite Tone, Amir, Jon Oliver, and himself. The first party, at Le Poisson Rouge's Gallery Bar, was packed and jumping, and they have been ever since. In conjunction with the party, Scribe started a vinyl appreciation page on Facebook which attracted 10,000 fans in 10 days (now nearing 25K+). In March 2010, I Love Vinyl: On the B-Side, the Brooklyn arm of the party, debuted at the fantastic green venue Brooklyn Bowl. A few months later, the I Love Vinyl Dream Team made an even bigger Brooklyn Debut, at the season opener of Prospect Park's Celebrate Brooklyn free summer concert series, where they headlined a gala afterparty for the Norah Jones concert. In addition to creating his own parties, Scribe has shared the marquee at live music venues like the Highline Ballroom, Le Poisson Rouge, SOB's and Joe's Pub with Little Dragon, Antibalas, Chin Chin, Roy Ayers, Me'Shell Ndegeocello, Omar, Dwele, Les Nubians, Stephanie McKay, Floetry, Alice Smith, and others; moved the crowd all over Western and Eastern Europe; and traveled extensively within the US and Canada, including multiple appearances at the annual Candela Art and Music Festival in Puerto Rico, Miami's Winter Music Conference, and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival. Scribe has also done extensive studio work with DJ Spinna, including mixing remixes he did for Michael Jackson and Shaun Escoffery, and The Beyond Real Experience Vol.2 album for Spinna's Beyond Real label; as well as producing and mixing much of Tortured Soul frontman Christian Urich's soul project Cooly's Hot Box's album Take It, on Dome records, including the UK classic "Make Me Happy". DJ Scribe spins dynamic sets from the heart, ranging from deep soul to dancefloor killers, acoustic jazz to glitch-hop and techno. But a list of genres can't accurately describe his style, because for Scribe it's all about the right feeling. And that's exactly what it is, the right feeling. Coming to a dancefloor near you.Q and A with I Love Vinyl Party founder, DJ Scribe

Tinderbox Music Festival at Southpaw, Sunday, September...

Headliner: Bitch Jenny Owen Youngs, Shilpa Ray and her Happy Hookers, and Kalae All Day among 15+ performers to be announced; Proceeds to Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls & Girls Write Now Tinderbox Music Festival, which will be held on September 26, 2010, at Southpaw in Brooklyn, NY, aims to promote and coalesce the music of an eclectic group of approximately 20 female artists who span across the entire musical spectrum. Artists include Bitch, Jenny Owen Youngs, Shilpa Ray and her Happy Hookers, and Kalae All Day, all of whom have already confirmed their performances at the festival. Tinderbox fosters community by providing opportunities to perform, collaborate, and connect within the vibrant NYC music scene. By donating 100 % of net proceeds to organizations involved in helping the next generation of women musicians, Tinderbox strives to ensure that the fire it ignites will long outlive and outgrow the festival itself. Due to the positive feedback that Tinderbox has already accumulated, along with sponsorships from companies such as Venus Zine, BUST Magazine, and ASCAP, the festival is looking to take a showcase to the annual SXSW festival in Texas next March in hopes of garnering enough attention to create a buzz about the second Tinderbox Festival that will be held in 2011. Hearing that the music festival, Lilith Fair, was making a comeback in 2010, multi-talented singer/songwriter, Alyson Greenfield, decided to start “Dear Lilith Fair 2010,” a blog zealously dedicated to trying to get a spot on the tour. Being named one of The Deli Magazine’s “NYC Artists on the Rise,” receiving accolades from a myriad of publications such as PASTE Magazine, and having song placements on shows on FOX, Alyson is an esteemed artist in her own right. Though many people were supportive and receptive to the blog, her plea to get on the tour fell on the deaf ears of Lilith Fair and consequently, the fervent musician took the initiative to spearhead her own music festival. Being somewhat of a Renaissance woman, Alyson knew that her vision for the music festival could become reality with her uncanny and seemingly divine abilities to excel in many fields as well as prolifically generate grandeur out of nothingness. Her Masters of Fine Arts in Creative Writing; various magazine, screenplay, and acting credits; and credentials as a Board Member of the Chicago National Organization for Women, high school teacher, and tolerance educator, are all testament to her legitimate and natural ability to achieve virtually anything. With the additional experience she gained from helping to set up and book artists for two BUST Magazine sponsored showcases, Mundi Fest and Shimmer Fest, during the annual SXSW festival in Texas, along with her frequent encounters with success, Alyson had the confidence to fashion a thrilling new festival that would later be known as Tinderbox. TINDERBOX will be donating 100% of net proceeds to these NYC organizations: WILLIE MAE ROCK CAMP FOR GIRLS (http://www.williemaerockcamp.org/) Willie Mae Rock Camp for Girls is a non-profit music and mentoring program that empowers girls and women through music education and activities that foster self-respect, leadership skills, creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration. GIRLS WRITE NOW (http://www.girlswritenow.org/gwn/) Girls Write Now provides guidance, support, and opportunities for New York City’s underserved or at-risk high school girls, enabling them to develop their creative, independent voices, explore careers in professional writing, and learn how to make healthy choices in school, career, and life. Alyson Greenfield is an active member of this organization. The Tinderbox team also includes: Jennifer Newman: Jennifer Newman is an entertainment attorney* (NY bar admission pending) in New York City as well as a singer, songwriter, and music producer. Alicia Matusheski: Alicia is the Manager of Business Affairs and Supervising Paralegal at Ritholz Levy Sanders Chidekel & Fields LLP, an entertainment law firm in New York City. Presenting Sponsors are PAI Media, MusicDish/MI2N, BUST Magazine, and VENUS Zine Official Website: http://tinderboxmusicfestival.com/ Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/pages/Tinderbox-Music-Festival/132403896782345 Twitter: http://twitter.com/tinderboxfest Ticket Info: $17 ADV/$20 DOS

Sea Wolf (solo acoustic)

Mon, September 20, 2010 Doors: 7:00 PM / Show: 8:00 PM $12.00 - $14.00 Sea Wolf (solo acoustic)Artist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookTwitterWatchMoreTaking its name from novelist Jack London’s 1904 seafaring adventure, Sea Wolf has evolved organically from its hermetic origins in Alex Brown Church’s living room into a muscular, full-bodied musical entity with passion to burn. After adopting the sobriquet, Church burst onto the music scene in two-fisted fashion with the EP, Get to the River Before It Runs Too Low, and the subsequent full- length debut album, Leaves in the River, about which Interview magazine observed, "His music is both erudite and unvarnished, a blend of swirling melodies, literary balladry and damaged art-rock composition." And now, Church’s singular vision has led to the creation of the eloquent and expansive new album White Water, White Bloom, which not only fulfills the immense promise of the initial musical diptych but conjures up its own cosmology. This is one of those rare and mysterious records wherein, the first time you hear it, you can’t shake the feeling that it’s always been part of the soundtrack of your life. You intimately know its ups and downs, its melodies and cadences, its settings and characters. A song cycle set against the changing of seasons, this timeless work unfolds like an epic poem, yet resonates with thematic elements that speak, elliptically yet unmistakably, to the world we live in. Pulsing with evocations of nature at its most elemental, Church’s songs are flooded with vivid imagery, carried along on torrents of sounds as majestic as a mountain stream swollen with the bracing, crystalline runoff of spring’s first warming breath. What’s more, he sings these songs with newfound power, the result of extensive roadwork behind Leaves in the River, while deepening the mesmerizing expressiveness with which he made his initial mark.Sera CahooneArtist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookTwitterWatchMoreSera Cahoone- "BAKER LAKE"SERA CAHOONE | MySpace Music VideosHer first stage performance came in a suburban Denver bar, where, at the tender age of 12, she played drums behind a bunch of bluesmen on open mic night. She first picked up the sticks in junior high band class, after bumrushing the kit to show the percussion students how to play. And her earliest instrument was saxophone, though she busted her own reeds to keep from practicing. Unorthodox beginnings surely, but Cahoone has often plotted an unorthodox route on the way to Only As the Day Is Long, her quiet, country-noirish second album and Sub Pop debut, out March 18. That path has also included a notable tenure as drummer for rock outfit and Sub Pop labelmates, Band of Horses (she plays on their acclaimed 2006 album, Everything All The Time), as well as a stint for the late indie band Carissa’s Weird. But in 2006, Cahoone decided to step out from the cymbals and snare and focus on singing, songwriting, and guitar playing, skills she’d been honing for nearly 15 years on her own. “You can’t really write songs on the drums,” says Cahoone, who’s lived in Seattle for the past decade. “I needed to find something to get my creativity out.” Now on Only As The Day Is Long, the airy gentleness of the arrangements is counterweighted by tension in the lyrics. “I know I’m safe for now, but I know the rest is on its way,” she sings on the title song. Time and again, characters mired in the present cast either skeptical or hopeful eyes on the future: “It’s got to get better than this” (“Runnin’ Your Way”), “I wish this night would pass on by” (“Shitty Hotel”), “Time’s been moving too fast” (“You’re Not Broken”). “I go to a darker, sad place when I write,” she says. “For some reason, that’s the way my songs always seem to come out. But I’m not a very sad person, really.” Sad, no. Risky yes. (Perhaps it comes in part from having a father who sold dynamite for a living -- which must’ve meant great Fourth of July celebrations, right? “I’m not supposed to talk about that,” Cahoone says.) She’s the kind of woman who as a teenager could nail Slayer covers on her drumkit and nail vertical drops on her snowboard. As it happens, the stage is where she found her calling, something she knew even as a 12-year-old, backing up strangers in a bar. “It opened my eyes,” she said. “I thought, ‘This is amazing. This is what I want.’”Patrick ParkArtist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookWatchMore<p>Patrick Park 'You'll Get Over' from Burke Roberts on Vimeo.Patrick Park is a Colorado native that grew up outside of Denver, surrounded by words and music. His mother is a published poet, and his father played folk and blues on the guitar around the house. “I’ve written songs since I was a kid,” he says. “There was nothing else that I really wanted to do—I was obsessed with it. I pretty much decided at the age of 13 or 14 that this was what I wanted to do.” Now with three EPs and two full lengths to his name, Patrick Park is set to release his strongest set of songs yet with the new Come What Will lp. Patrick Park’s ernest start at becoming a songwriter came sometime around 2000 when living in Los Angeles with a batch of songs that he decided to demo. He lacked the money to go into a studio, but that didn’t deter him. “I ended up recording in the back of a store that a friend’s girlfriend owned. I sang all the vocals on my knees inside of this couch cushion hut that we built because there was a cricket in the room and it kept bleeding into the microphone. It was August and it was hot and horrible,” Park laments. With his first album underway, Park began playing solo shows in LA, and the local press immediately reacted. His fellow artists took notice as well, as he opened shows for the likes of Richard Buckner and Gomez. Beth Orton handpicked Park as the supporting act on her U.S. tour. Hollywood Records also took notice, and signed Patrick. While recording for the major label, Badman Recording Co. released Park’s gorgeous, well received, six song EP: Under the Unminding Skies.Venue Information: Knitting Factory Brooklyn 361 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn, NY 11211 http://ny.knittingfactory.com</p>

JohnnySwim w/ Maya Azucena

<p>After performing at the Nona Hendryx-produced UnFiltered Music Series earlier this year, Johnny Swim and Maya Azucena will reunite for an unforgettable night of music to celebrate the release of JohnnySwim's new EP, 5-8.<p>---------------- <p>"JohnnySwim crafts gripping melodies...the songs transfix" –PopMatters "...the two come off seamless and natural" –The TennesseanJohnnySwim, aka Abner Ramirez and Amanda Sudano-Ramirez, create a compelling amalgam of soul, folk, pop, and blues that is rooted in the eclectic enclaves of Nashville, Los Angeles, and New York City. They are the stylistic cousin to Lauryn Hill, John Legend, and Corinne Bailey Rae yet wholly original and distinct from any other artist or band. 5-8 encompasses the evolution of JohnnySwim: from the intimate coffeehouse vibe of their earliest performances in Nashville to the pop luster of their 2008 debut 1-4, to the magnetism of their recent concert appearances that have thrilled audiences everywhere from The Roxy (L.A.) to S.O.B.'s (NYC). Joining JohnnySwim for this very special evening is Grammy-winner Maya Azucena. Hailed for her "storytelling lyrics and soulful, soaring vocals" by Billboard and "armed with a powerfully compelling voice" according to The Village Voice, Maya Azucena believes that music is a tool for healing and activism and supports humanitarian causes with her voice. Having shared stages with a number of new and legendary artists like Roberta Flack, John Legend, Gladys Knight and collaborated with Vernon Reid, Stephen Marley, and Greg Tate, Maya Azucena is currently completing her forthcoming album Cry Love, the follow-up to her critically acclaimed acoustic soul project Junkyard Jewel. </p></p></p>

On their classic debut album All For One, their easy flow and laid-back rhythms served as the platform for the declaration of their Islamic faith and the teachings of The 5% Nation. Grand Puba left the group to go solo following All For One, and the remaining members continue to spread their message." -Atlantic Records The LegionMySpaceWatchMore The Legion first appeared on the amped posse cut We Boys on Black Sheeps sophomore album Non-Fiction (Mercury, 1994). Later that year, as signees to Black Sheeps One Love imprint, they dropped the brilliant underground classic Jingle Jangle, a nasty break topped by a filthy piano loop, all types of random clashing samples, and a highly quotable finishing verse from Dres. The hardcore lo-fi sound brings the best out of the Bronx trio, themselves products of a resilient uptown rap scene lorded over by mixtape kings and party motivators like Kid Kapri and Brucie B.

Rupa and the April Fishes

Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, Rupa & the April Fishes create music that defies easy categorization. Their debut album, eXtraOrdinary rendition, echoes with influences of French chanson, Argentinean tango, Gypsy swing, American folk, Latin cumbias, and even Indian ragas. Their raucous and inviting performances have earned them a wide following in San Francisco, and they were poised for international renown with the worldwide release of their album. Slinky, fevered, hypnotic and intoxicating, the band is led by a young woman of Indian heritage whose nomadic upbringing and dual life as a musician and doctor has led her to explore issues of identity, borders, and the vagaries of life, love and death. While she first started by playing straightforward singer-songwriter material in English, Rupa began to forge a new sound that was more representative of her complex identity, which she describes as a "mosaic". Rupa began writing in French. She also began playing solo in cafes until she joined up with cellist Ed Baskerville to form a duet. They played on the streets, in streetcars, art galleries, and other informal settings. Eventually, the band grew to include a rotating roster of some of the Bay Area's most talented young musicians. The name the April Fishes was inspired by the French term les poissons d'avril, which is related to the English term April Fools. In France on the first of April, people stick little paper fishes on unsuspecting people's backs. The band's following has certainly grown and they moved from playing small settings to performing in front of sell-out crowds at some of San Francisco's most popular concert venues. Their concerts have earned renown for their circus-like atmosphere at times featuring stilt-walkers, live painting and performance artists that channels a modern-day Moulin Rouge. With its polyglot influences, the music of Rupa & the April Fishes reflects Rupa's interest in the arbitrary nature of borders and how they artificially create differences and divisions between people who are at core the same. The result reflects her hope for the future, a world with dissolving borders, where the essential humanness of any person or group can be heard or seen before labels and dividing lines are drawn. Rupa's music is a pastiche of sounds and impressions--undeniably full of heart--with subject matters ranging from love and loss in a time of uncertainty to stories of people in transition. The members of Rupa & the April Fishes include: Ed Baskerville (cello) Marcus Cohen (trumpet) Isabel Douglass (accordion) Aaron Kierbel (drums) Safa Shokrai (upright bass) Pawel Walerowski (cello)

Gasoline Silver, Jonathan Kane's February and Dave...

About This EventMinimum Age:18+Doors Open: 6:30 PMShow Time: 7:00 PMDescription: Minnesota electro-psych trio Gasoline Silver make their NYC debut Saturday, August 21, 2010 at Le Poisson Rouge, previewing their self-titled debut LP. The album will be released by Victorian Pictures in digital / CD form September 7, and on vinyl October 5. Gasoline Silver is Ron Franklin (vocals / guitar / harmonica), Josh Misner (synthesizer/ tambourine), and Andy Hertel on drums. Their sound has been described as “subterranean wordplay… electro-psych panoramas and biker-movie guitars”. A live video performance of the single, “Indianapolis” has been released in advance. Franklin previously performed at Le Poisson Rouge at last year’s Robert Palmer tribute. A sometime member of the Kropotkins, in that band he has played cane fife, marching drums, and harmonica. To mark the NYC debut of Gasoline Silver, the August 21 bill will also feature sets by Dave Soldier and Jonathan Kane, co-founders of the Kropotkins. Composer Dave Soldier will take one half hour to perform Chopin's Minute Waltz on the concert grand piano. Sean Haggerty's live electronic processing will bring out timbres hidden deep within the piece that can only be noticed when it is performed extremely slow. Jonathan Kane’s February will perform their minimalist Fender-trance instrumentals, described by Rolling Stone as "Wedding the brutal severity of Delta country boogie and Sev- enties German pulse rock – all dead-ahead motion and mounting detail...Epic." This is a first come seated event. Seating is limited and not guaranteed; please arrive early. ArtistsGasoline SilverGasoline Silver is a three-piece combo from Minnesota... Gasoline Silver is their debut LP-- 11 tracks of subterranean wordplay scored with electro-psych panoramas and biker-movie guitars. Formed in 2009 in the Twin Cities, Gasoline Silver includes Ron Franklin (vocals, harp, guitar), Andy Hertel (drums), and Josh Misner (synthesizers). Prior to starting the band, Ron Franklin toured the U.S. and Europe with just a telecaster, a harmonica rack and a mess of feedback. In 2007 and 2008, he released three full-length solo albums (RON FRANKLIN, CITY LIGHTS, and BLUE SHADOWS FALLING). These received radio rotation and critical acclaim, both in the States and Europe, including the NYC-area WFMU and Paris, France's Le Monde. Along the way, Franklin found himself with a batch of songs that led him in new directions. He began recording, stacking drumbeats and electrical instruments until he heard the desired mix of colors. After enlisting Hertel and Misner, they completed the album as a trio, discovering they had an uncommon live-band rapport. GASOLINE SILVER begins with the first single, "Indianapolis"-- totally crank it up, three minutes of beat visions, crunchy 808s and overloaded harp. Jonathan Kane's FebruaryJonathan Kane is a Downtown NYC legend -- as co-founder of the no-wave behemoth Swans, and the rhythmic thunder behind the massed-guitar armies of Rhys Chatham and the rock excursions of La Monte Young -- and one of the hardest-hitting drummers on the planet. With his solo work, Kane summons Swans' concussive wallop, Chatham's dense guitar strata, and the perpetual propulsion of 70s krautrockers Neu, then steers it all head-on into... the blues. Make no mistake about it: Kane is a bluesman, and beneath the high-decible bombast, he's powering guitar-driven minimalism into the blues, and the blues into guitar-driven harmonic maximalism. So roll with Jonathan Kane down his Highway 61 of the mind -- it's the shape of blues to come.Dave Soldier with Sean Hagerty performing Chopin's Minute Waltz (piano/electronics)Dave Soldier Dave Soldier played violin in Western swing bands and guitar in rhythm and blues groups, including Bo Diddley, and studied composition with Roscoe Mitchell before moving to New York City in 1981, where he studied with Otto Luening. In 1985, he founded the seminal punk chamber group, the Soldier String Quartet, followed by the punk Delta blues band, the Kropotkins, and the Andalusian band, the Spinozas. Soldier co-founded the Thai Elephant Orchestra, consisting of 16 elephants in Northern Thailand, for which he built giant musical instruments. He has coached children to compose their own music in Harlem (Da Hiphop Raskalz), Brooklyn (the Tangerine Awkestra), Washington Heights, and northern Guatemala. In addition to repertoire for these groups, Soldier’s compositions include The People’s Choice Music: the most wanted and unwanted songs, following poll results of likes and dislikes of the American population, a collaboration with artists Komar & Melamid; collaborations with Kurt Vonnegut; repertoire for musically naïve children or performed on specially designed instruments by songbirds and pygmy chimpanzees; music performed by brainwaves : arrangements for John Cale, David Byrne, and Guided by Vocies, and various song cycles /oratorios/ operas and TV and film soundtracks including I Shot Andy Warhol and Sesame Street, and has played on many pop, jazz, experimental, and classical recordings. Many of his recordings are available through Mulatta Records (www.mulatta.org).Soldier received a Ph.D in neuroscience at Columbia University, where he is a professor in the Neurology, Psychiatry, and Neuroscience departments. Soldier’s Symphony #1 was recently recorded by the Thai Elephant Orchestra. Sean Hagerty Sean Hagerty is an independent musician, passionate about artistic collaboration in a variety of capacities and settings. From dirty LES rock clubs to Broadway, sleek Chelsea dance-halls to introverted studio projects, Sean continues to explore new territory in New York City. As an electic violinist, he plays and sings with the Freedom Haters, an experimental rock trio based in Brooklyn. Stepping to side-man, he's played with Michael Cerveris and Nellie McKay at the Bowery Ballroom as well as Aaron Stout and Tomer Oami, local singer-songwriters. Accustomed to multiple roles, Sean often doubles as arranger for his projects. Boston Fielder's soul-tinged Muthawit Orchestra marked his NYC debut, with a concert full of arrangements for strings, trumpet, and sax. In late summer of 2006, he served as violinist, music director, and arranger for Ben Magnuson's "Who Asked Me to Annoy You With my Sad Repartee," a cabaret of love songs. The ensemble brimmed with violin, cello, French horn, piano, bass, and drums, coaxing vibrancy into music by Tom Waits, Duncan Sheik, Scott Weiland, and others. Surprisingly, Sean had the unique chance to write a revised version of "Bohemian Rhapsody" for the Broadway cast of Sweeney Todd. The 11-piece group of singer-musicians premiered the new "Rhapsody in Blood" at the 25th Annual Easter Bonnet Competition at the New Amsterdam Theater in Times Square. In addition, the cast performed one of the "Who Asked.." works, "Lady, the Roof Brings Me Down" as part of Fleet Street at the Bowery. Sean also works with electronics, producing synths and beats for his own songs. With Zahra Hashemian, he produced "Resurrect Myself", performed at Club Sol. He is an avid programmer of Max/MSP/Jitter, having worked with a number of performance artists, notably Michael Portnoy at the SOHO art parade. Part of the downtown multi-media community, Sean created an interactive animation for Harvestworks, using their from-scratch sensor suitcase. He is currently sound designing at Three Legged Dog (3LD), an experimental theater group.

Public Enemy, Blitz The Ambassador, The 7th Octave...

Part of the NY Revolutions series Public Enemy rewrote the rules of hip-hop, becoming the most influential and controversial rap groups of all time. Public Enemy pioneered a variation of rap that was revolutionary. With his powerful, authoritative baritone, co-founder Chuck D rhymed about all kinds of social problems, particularly those plaguing the Black community, often condoning revolutionary tactics and social activism. In the process, he directed hip-hop toward an explicitly self-aware, Pro-Black consciousness. Musically, Public Enemy were just as revolutionary, creating dense soundscapes that relied on avant-garde cut-and-paste techniques, unrecognizable samples, piercing sirens, relentless beats, and deep funk. It was chaotic and invigorating music, made all the more intoxicating by Chuck Ds forceful vocals and the absurdist raps of his comic foil Flavor Flav. Today, PE celebrates the twentieth anniversary of their classic, influential album Fear of A Black Planet. Ghanaian hip-hop artist Blitz the Ambassador uses rousing horns and clever beats that make him impossible to take lightly. Alongside his band, The Embassy Ensemble, Blitz tests the limits of hip-hop with live instruments and heavily complex, cross-cultural musical exploration. In an age of disposable, cookie cutter acts, The 7th Octave offers up a different musical and lyrical perspective, combining metal riffs and blistering instrumentation with fiery, socially aware lyrics to provoke the minds of the new millennium generation.

A,C,E to Spring Street.<p>212-608-0555 for additional info<p>MUSIC THIS WEEK: Bajah & The Dry Eye Crew<p>Check out the weekly music lineup and festival details.<p>ABOUT BAJAH & THE DRY EYE CREW<p>After packing the national stadium for performances in their home country of Sierra Leone and contributing music to the Academy Award–nominated film Blood Diamond, African superstars Bajah + the Dry Eye Crew are poised to conquer the global airwaves with their international debut album (due out in fall 2009) and their unique sound, which blends the swagger and funk of hip-hop, the passion and energy of dancehall, and the socially conscious vibe of reggae. The group has generated so much buzz in the hip-hop world that major stars including ?uestlove and Black Thought of the Roots, Talib Kweli, K'Naan, Res, and El-P have contributed their vocal and/or production talents to the upcoming release, helmed by the production team Fyre Department (whose credits include 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, GZA, Talib Kweli, Justin Timberlake). With this great collection of creatives, Bajah's own star is rising as the Sean Paul of West Africa with the social conscience of Bob Marley and Fela Kuti. So much more than just another hip-hop outfit, Bajah + the Dry Eye Crew have been likened to another band renowned internationally for speaking out against political and social injustices: U2. In Sierra Leone, now emerging from the throes of a brutal 10-year civil war, Bajah + the Dry Eye Crew are hailed as "the voice of the voiceless," speaking truths on behalf of those people who have no political power, spreading messages of peace and reconciliation, outing corrupt politicians, and inspiring the disenfranchised youth to pursue their dreams. "We always speak about real stuff, like the suffering, what is going on," says the group's frontman, Bajah. "So most of the youth, the fans, are going crazy over it, because they think it's the reality—that's how it is. So they show mad love at times." In Sierra Leone, the term dry eye is an expression of boldness. "The kids that always try to ask questions and want to know things are the dry eye. If you always coming up to talk to the elder people, trying to ask them certain questions, they say, 'Oh, you, you're dry eye,' like, 'You're bold. You're too bold!'" Bajah explains. "But we just use dry eye because we decide to talk about the bad things going on. Cause the leaders, we take them as our fathers—but we still gonna say some things, the reality. We just gonna stand, no matter what. No more tears in the eye. We're just gonna stay dry eye and say something. You understand? That's strong. "We talk about different things," Bajah continues. "We talk about love. We talk about life, social problems. Music is about life." And now, Bajah + the Dry Eye Crew are sharing their unique perspective on life and spreading their message of hope, love, and inspiration across the globe through their vibrant, infectious music and their electrifying live shows. And the world is listening... Bajah + the Dry Eye Crew have been welcomed as part of The Roots/Okayplayer hiphop community, and recently performed as invited guests at the annual Roots Picnic in Philadelphia. They’ve also wowed crowds at some of New York’s most prestigious venues, including the Knitting Factory, B.B. Kings’, Joe’s Pub and Prospect Park’s Celebrate Brooklyn Bandshell. Upcoming appearances include the a showcase at the Knitting Factory, a performance at Brooklyn Museum and, on August 6, a free show headlining a night at the Lincoln Center out-of-doors festival. </p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>

Rasputina w/ Larkin Grimm

About This EventMinimum Age:18+Doors Open: 7:00 PMShow Time: 7:30 PMDescription:This is a general admission, standing event.ArtistsRasputina Seminal cello-driven trio Rasputina will release their seventh album, 'Sister Kinderhook' on June 15, 2010. Rasputina directress, Melora Creager recorded it whilst pregnant in the Hudson Valley just last summer. She and Brian Kehew (Moog Cookbook, Fiona Apple, Air) mixed it in Los Angeles with a newborn in the studio. This album finds Melora expressing a thematic fantasy of Colonial Federalism. Subject-wise, she also touches on feral children (Snow-Hen of Austerlitz), the Anti-rent Wars of 1844 (Calico Indians), and Early American portraiture (The 2 Miss Leavens), not to mention the theory that giants were indeed real, but killed each other off in a self-genocidal holocaust (A Holocaust of Giants). Sister Kinderhook is a return to Rasputina's early, more organic sound. Melora produced and engineered the thing at her homestead in the country. Hudson, NY is home to many fabulous female artists that gained notoriety in the 1990's, including Melora, Melissa Auf Der Maur and M'Shell N'Degeocello. For the first time, Rasputina employs a male cellist. Daniel DeJesus came of age listening obsessively to Rasputina records, and can play and sing the entire catalog. Catie D'Amica was a local punk-rock teenager. Melora thought, "If I put her behind an eccentric kit that included a concert bass drum, a djembe and ankle bells, and if she played her simple but cool punk-rock beats, we might really have something." When the internet compared Catie to a "Native American drum machine", Melora knew that experiment was successful. In addition to voice and cello, Melora played banjo and harpsichord. Melora has maintained the Rasputina group for almost 20(0) years. Genres come and go and Rasputina often gets mistakenly lumped into passing fancies, but Rasputina manages to survive and defy categorization by maintaining a child-like delight in music-making alongside a clear & true integrity. Since Rasputina's last full-length recording (2007's Oh Perilous World), Melora has released a number of limited edition short-works: The Willow Tree Tryptich (3 ancient folk songs titled The Willow Tree), Ancient Cross-Dressing Songs (self-explanatory), and The Pregnant Concert (a full live show from September 2009). Melora grew up in Kansas in a musical family which did play together as an ensemble, though certainly not publicly. At 18 she moved to NYC where she studied photography at Parsons School of Design. While there, she began playing the cello with drag performers and eventually the 4AD band, Ultra Vivid Scene. That exposure to the glamorous world of professional rock music led her to found Rasputina. She thought it would be easy. Touring with Nirvana taught her lessons in avoidance of immense fame, which she has successfully practiced since. Rasputina made 2 albums for Columbia/Sony (Thanks for the Ether, How We Quite the Forest), 2 albums for Instinct Records (Cabin Fever!, Frustration Plantation) and one previous (Oh Perilous World) on her own Filthy Bonnet Recording Co. label. Larkin GrimmLarkin Grimm was born in Memphis, Tennessee four years after Elvis died. Her parents were members of a community of energy healers called The Holy Order of MANS. When this cult disbanded, the Grimm family moved to the Appalachian Mountains so that Larkin's father could devote himself to the practice of learning old time fiddle tunes and her Mother could carry on her mission of bringing light to the world through singing hippie values to the children of her hillbilly friends. It was a sweet existence. The water was pure. The air was clean. The food was delicious. There was a spirit of oneness in that Appalachian valley, but soon the exhaust and consumption of the nearby cities began to creep up into the mountains and Larkin, nearly a grown woman, took off with bitterness and anger in her heart trying to find the source of this pollution, to search and destroy. She charmed her way into elite institutions of higher learning - Yale, Harvard, and Brown - and she was mega grossed out by the "education" they were selling. So she hitchhiked across Alaska, staring down bears and grizzly old men, she ducked in and out of communes and cults of many kinds, she sang songs to hipsters in fashionable cities, she spent days locked in mental institutions and in jail cells, fell in and out of love, in and out of consciousness, in and out of sobriety and society, just searching for the answers. And every time she thought she knew the answer, she wrote a song about it, and sang the song until she realized she didn't really know. And Larkin is somewhere searching still, and if you believe in her, someday soon she will find the answer and sing it for you!
