Brand Nubian (Performing 'In God We Trust')

Wed, September 1, 2010 Doors: 8:00 PM / Show: 9:00 PM $13.00 - $15.00 Brand Nubian (Performing 'In God We Trust')MySpaceFacebookWatchMore "Originally made up of Grand Puba, Sadat X, Lord Jamar, and DJ Alamo, Brand Nubian followed in the footsteps of early De La Soul, with funky beats, upbeat grooves, and rhymes of positivity. 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!

MASTERCLASS: JOHN SCOFIELD

FEATURING: John Scofield, guitar ABOUT THE BLUE NOTE MASTERCLASS SERIES: At the Blue Note Masterclass, today's most seminal Jazz artists share their knowledge and expertise in a casual and intimate setting of a jazz club. A class consists of a lecture and demonstrations followed by a question and answer session. It is a rare opportunity for aspiring musicians and avid jazz listeners to hear the voice of artists whom they admire and ask what they always wanted to know. Attendants are encouraged to bring their instruments. John Scofield is considered one of the "big three" of current jazz guitarists - along with Pat Metheny and Bill Frisell. His influence began in the late 70's and is going strong today. Possessor of a very distinctive sound and stylistic diversity, Scofield is a masterful jazz improviser whose music generally falls somewhere between post-bop, funk edged jazz, and R&B. Born in Ohio and raised in suburban Connecticut, Scofield took up the guitar at age 11, inspired by both rock and blues players. He attended Berklee College of Music in Boston. After a debut recording with Gerry Mulligan and Chet Baker, Scofield was a member of the Billy Cobham-George Duke band for two years. In 1977 he recorded with Charles Mingus, and joined the Gary Burton quartet. He began his international career as a bandleader and recording artist in 1978. From 1982-1985, Scofield toured and recorded with Miles Davis. His Davis stint placed him firmly in the foreground of jazz consciousness as a player and composer. Since that time he has prominently led his own groups in the international Jazz scene, recorded over 30 albums as a leader (many already classics) including collaborations with contemporary favorites like Pat Metheny, Charlie Haden, Eddie Harris, Medeski, Martin & Wood, Bill Frisell, Brad Mehldau, Mavis Staples, Government Mule, Jack DeJohnette, Joe Lovano and Phil Lesh. He's played and recorded with Tony Williams, Jim Hall, Ron Carter, Herbie Hancock, Joe Henderson, Dave Holland, Terumasa Hino among many jazz legends. Throughout his career Scofield has punctuated his traditional jazz offerings with funk-oriented electric music. All along, the guitarist has kept an open musical mind. Touring the world approximately 200 days per year with his own groups, he is an Adjunct Professor of Music at New York University, a husband and father of two.

Live has been one of the most successful and enduring alternative rock bands of the 1990s and 2000s. One of the main things that have enabled Live to maintain a devoted fan base is the substantial and durable nature of their lyrics, which have often reflected Kowalczyk's personal and spiritual concerns. “My approach as a songwriter is to write songs that are not finite and will resonate with listeners for a really long time,” Kowalczyk asserts. “Sixteen years after our first album, Mental Jewelry, I am still able to get something out of songs Live recorded in the early 1990s--and I think that one of the reasons why we have had so many fans for so long is that our fans are also continuing to find nuances in the songs.” Ed is releasing his first solo album, ALIVE, on July 6th, 2010. </p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>

KRISTEENYOUNG

Mon, July 5, 2010 Doors: 7:00 PM / Show: 8:00 PM $10.00 - $12.00 KRISTEENYOUNGArtist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookTwitterBuy MusicWatchMore What’s black and white and can crush you like a bug? A piano. These monsters weigh anywhere from 300 lbs for a small upright, to four or even five times that for a concert grand. So why do artists let them sound so wimpy? KRISTEENYOUNG wants the piano to kick your ass. Their new album, Music for Strippers, Hookers, and the Odd On-Looker, feels like it was born in the boxing ring, not some sun-dappled Laurel Canyon living room. “I wanted to create a new sound for piano on this album, and for it to be just as powerful and creative as any guitar-based record. I wanted it to sound like a wall of pianos, but like the wall in the film, Caligula: a wall that moves and decapitates everyone,” says Kristeen Young. The singer and composer has played since her childhood in St. Louis, and she knows what the piano is capable of. She sought to recapture the fiery, dangerous noise early rockers like Jerry Lee Lewis and Fats Domino wrought from the instrument’s eighty-eight keys, albeit in a wholly modern way. Young’s foil in KRISTEENYOUNG is drummer “Baby” Jef White, whose energy and fills bring to mind the great British drummers, but whose groove is undeniably American. Think John Bohnam meets Timbaland on Keith Moon Street. Together, the duo has forged a sound full of percussive impact and melodic grandeur. You think the White Stripes make a big ruckus for a two-piece? Bah! Young’s fascination with the raw sound of words can result in emotional interjections that sting sharply, be it a rapid-fire blitz of fairy tale staples (“Son of Man”), or the slow downward pull of reiterating the word “gone” throughout “Halfway Across the Atlantic Ocean.” On “Protestant,” she evokes not only realms of sight and sound, but smell and touch as well. Young fashions her lyrics with surgical precision throughout Music For Strippers…, but this time out, sex and death share the spotlight with—gasp—love! The bulk of Music For Strippers… was composed during the two year stretch KRISTEENYOUNG spent touring the world, first as the support act for Morrissey and later, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists.

Acoustic Concert - Paul Zunno

The best musician you've never seen on stage is set to absolve you of that deficiency with a series of concerts this and every Saturday evening throughout the summer. Paul Zunno spent seven years as lead guitarist for Wilson Pickett, whose ear for virtuosity was such that previous holders of the post included Jimi Hendrix and Duane Allman. The years and ears since have continued to bring acclamation. Zunno has seen his highly praised recordings licensed for television by producers who, like Pickett, weren't exactly short on options. On stage, Zunno unleashes the kind of fretwork that ought to be followed by diagrammed, slow-mo replay; and he sings in a voice that will make yours seem stuck in falsetto. There is no minimum drink requirement, but be forewarned: few can resist buying one or all three of Zunno's CDs on their way out the door, where, often enough, the artist himself is available for handshakes and autographs. The show starts at 8pm and has a running time of 1 hour and 15 minutes with no intermission. The doors open at 7:30pm and seating is general admission. New York City Center Studios is located in the heart of Manhattan on 56th street between 6th and 7th Avenues. Studio 5 is part of NY City Center, Manhattan's first performing arts center: a New York home for the best of theater, music, and dance.

Join us for a spellbinding night of music.<p>ABOUT ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO<p>Escovedo's music can range from full force rock'n'roll to the subtle delicacy heard from a string quartet, sometimes in the same song. Fricke describes him well as "a folk-blues classicist with a gritty, plaintive voice and an equal fondness for dirty boogie and spectral balladry." That approach has distinguished Escovedo as one of contemporary music's truly original and unique artists, earning him consistent critical hosannas. The breadth and depth of his creativity prompted No Depression magazine to name him its Artist of the Decade even before the close of the 1990s.<p>Alejandro Escovedo's family tree includes former Santana percussionist Pete Escovedo and Pete's daughter Sheila E (also Prince's former drummer and later a pop star). He began his music career with the Nuns, a mid-'70s punk band based in San Francisco. He co-founded the pioneering cowpunk band Rank and File in 1979, which moved to Austin, TX, in 1981 after a stint in New York City. The band released Sundown on Slash Records in 1982, but shortly after, Escovedo left to form the True Believers with brother Javier. The band recorded two albums for EMI and toured the country, often as an opening act for Los Lobos. However, EMI opted not to release the second album, which eventually led to the group's breakup. (It eventually surfaced as a bonus item when Rykodisc reissued the first set on CD in 1994.)<p>Escovedo released a solo album in 1992 on Watermelon Records, Gravity, uniting his wide variety of styles; the album was produced by Stephen Bruton of Bonnie Raitt's band. Escovedo also began gigging periodically with the band Buick MacKane, which fused old-school punk with '70s glam rock; after Rykodisc released Escovedo's With These Hands in 1996, they followed it up with Buick MacKane's long-awaited album. After Escovedo parted ways with Rykodisc, he signed in 1998 with the Chicago-based alt-country label Bloodshot, which released the live album More Miles Than Money: Live 1994-1996 and the acclaimed studio set A Man Under the Influence.<p>In April 2003, Escovedo collapsed following a show in Phoenix, AZ, after which it was subsequently revealed that he had been diagnosed with Hepatitis C in late '90s but had not sought treatment. An outpouring of support from musicians led to a series of successful benefit concerts to help pay Escovedo's medical expenses and keep his music before the public, followed by a tribute album, Por Vida: A Tribute to the Songs of Alejandro Escovedo, which was released in 2004. In 2006, Escovedo released Boxing Mirror and toured with the Alejandro Escovedo String Quintet to promote the album. His next album, Real Animal, was produced by Tony Visconti and released in June 2008.<p>ABOUT WILLIE NILE.<p>More than a quarter century has passed since the release of Willie Nile's first album, accompanied by press notices comparing him to Dylan and Springsteen. The enthralling new Streets of New York finds the artist in his mid-fifties, his youthful energy unflagging, and he's never sounded more committed to the themes he's tackled.<p>After studying philosophy at the University of Buffalo, he headed for Greenwich Village, determined to make a name for himself as a latter-day troubadour. That he did throughout the ’70s, becoming a fixture in the Village folk and rock scenes and getting tabbed as the next big thing to come out of that long-thriving artistic community. <p>Writing in The New York Times, the great rock critic Robert Palmer called him “one of the most gifted singer-songwriters to emerge from the New York scene in years."<p><p> <p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>

Alejandro Escovedo & the Sensitive Boys - Album Release...

Alejandro Escovedo & the Sensitive Boys - Album Release - w Bobby Bare Jr 8:00pm TicketsBar Stools$25.00Reserved Tables$30.00Reserved Best Tables$40.00VIP Tables$40.00<p>Buy Now<p>On the Web<p>www.alejandroescovedo.com/<p>ABOUT ALEJANDRO ESCOVEDO<p>Escovedo's music can range from full force rock'n'roll to the subtle delicacy heard from a string quartet, sometimes in the same song. Fricke describes him well as "a folk-blues classicist with a gritty, plaintive voice and an equal fondness for dirty boogie and spectral balladry." That approach has distinguished Escovedo as one of contemporary music's truly original and unique artists, earning him consistent critical hosannas. The breadth and depth of his creativity prompted No Depression magazine to name him its Artist of the Decade even before the close of the 1990s.<p>Alejandro Escovedo's family tree includes former Santana percussionist Pete Escovedo and Pete's daughter Sheila E (also Prince's former drummer and later a pop star). He began his music career with the Nuns, a mid-'70s punk band based in San Francisco. He co-founded the pioneering cowpunk band Rank and File in 1979, which moved to Austin, TX, in 1981 after a stint in New York City. The band released Sundown on Slash Records in 1982, but shortly after, Escovedo left to form the True Believers with brother Javier. The band recorded two albums for EMI and toured the country, often as an opening act for Los Lobos. However, EMI opted not to release the second album, which eventually led to the group's breakup. (It eventually surfaced as a bonus item when Rykodisc reissued the first set on CD in 1994.)<p>Escovedo released a solo album in 1992 on Watermelon Records, Gravity, uniting his wide variety of styles; the album was produced by Stephen Bruton of Bonnie Raitt's band. Escovedo also began gigging periodically with the band Buick MacKane, which fused old-school punk with '70s glam rock; after Rykodisc released Escovedo's With These Hands in 1996, they followed it up with Buick MacKane's long-awaited album. After Escovedo parted ways with Rykodisc, he signed in 1998 with the Chicago-based alt-country label Bloodshot, which released the live album More Miles Than Money: Live 1994-1996 and the acclaimed studio set A Man Under the Influence.<p>In April 2003, Escovedo collapsed following a show in Phoenix, AZ, after which it was subsequently revealed that he had been diagnosed with Hepatitis C in late '90s but had not sought treatment.

In 2006, Escovedo released Boxing Mirror and toured with the Alejandro Escovedo String Quintet to promote the album. His next album, Real Animal, was produced by Tony Visconti and released in June 2008.<p>Escovedo returns in 2010 with a new album scheduled for release in June, Street Songs of Love. Join us for two exceptional nights of poetry.<p>ABOUT BOBBY BARE JR.<p>With a room-filling persona, an ability to rock the doors off any club big or small, the chops to keep a crowd spellbound with just his guitar, and a genius for arrangement, Bobby Bare, Jr. is a truly unique performers. Adept at abandoning common sense in favor of laying himself at the feet of a rambunctious, freewheeling, and unfettered and unhinged muse, Bare Jr. throws himself full tilt into every performance.<p>As the front man for Bare Jr., Bare was part of a small and appealing Knoxville TN, scene that included the talented Superdrag. Skirting the power-pop tinged country strain of electric Southern rock, Bobby Bare Jr., is one highly talented songwriter. Raised in Nashville, he was nominated for a Grammy at age 5, albeit for a duet with his father, singer Bobby Bare. His music upbringing was shaped by his proximity to luminaries like Waylon Jennings and Jerry Reed, both close friends of his father, and their country influence resides just under the surface.<p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>

Susanna and the Magical Orchestra w/ Elk City

About This EventMinimum Age:18+Doors Open:10:00 PMShow Time:10:30 PMDescription:This is a first come seated event. Seating is limited and not guaranteed; please arrive early.ArtistsSusanna and the Magical OrchestraSusanna And The Magical Orchestra is in fact a duo with keyboardplayer Morten Qvenild (born in 1978) and singer Susanna Karolina Wallumroed (born in 1979). Their debut-album was released in Norway in February 2004, and some time later in Europe and in Japan, and received very good critics around the world." List of lights and buoys" contains highly personal interpretations of Dolly Parton's Jolene and Leonard Bernstein's Who Am I as well as nine originals that show a suprising degree of maturity, especially considering the writers young age and the fact that they operate in a landscape that requires a good deal of songwriting skills to hold your attention. Susanna And The Magical Orchestra combines the availability of the traditional popmusic, the strictness of the electronica and the improvisation in the jazzmusic. After playing a lot of beautiful concerts in Europe and Japan during 2004 and 2005, the duo made their second album. Melody Mountain Singer Susanna Wallumrød has a unique way of making a song her own, and to fill the lyrics and melodies with the emotional content they require. This was made very clear with her stunning interpretation of Dolly Parton's classic Jolene, recorded for the duo's debut album "List Of Lights and Buoys" (2004). A song covered by many artists, but seldom with such heartfelt sincerity. With Melody Mountain they have chosen to do an album of only interpretations, some quite radical, of mostly well-known songs, all personal and moving performances with Morten Qvenild's naked and to the bone playing an important part in the overall soundscape. Elk City "New York's noctural pop masters return with a dose of darkly sweet dream pop." - Aversion "Elk City’s cool and elegant sound draws on 1980s “dream pop” and bits of 1960s folk-rock." - The New York Times "Renée LoBue's voice is astounding - she has incredible range and sounds like a female Bowie engaged in a three-way with Hope Sandoval and Patti Smith. " - The Village Voice --- Elk City re-invent the seductive sophistication of 1970's FM radio pop - but never shy away from their formidable rock power. Singer Renée LoBue possesses one of her generations most versatile and distinctive voices. Her melodic songs a veritable transit rail from the intoxications of 1960's Bay Area psychedelia to the smoky Parisian outposts which might once have hosted Nina Simone. LoBue is perfectly-matched with guitarist Sean Eden, who joined Elk City soon after the break-up of the legendary Luna. Eden expresses and withholds his playing in a manner perfectly reflecting the hope and anxiety of LoBue's confessional lyrics. Listen: http://friendlyfirerecordings.com/Bands/ElkCity/jerksonice.mp3

NEW SOUND OF SOUL SERIES: MAYA AZUCENA

FEATURING: Maya Azucena, vocals Christian Ver Halen, guitar Other musicians, TBA Often described as the "hardest working artist I know," Maya Azucena has planted the seeds for her burgeoning career by touring around the world. To date, she's shared stages or been on bills with legendary artists, vets and newcomers from the worlds of R&B, Soul, Hip Hop, Jazz, and Rock. The list of artists she's performed with is a who's who, such as Roberta Flack, Roy Ayers, Vernon Reid, Stephen Marley, Martin Luther, Jaguar Wright, Joss Stone, Leon Ware, Richard Bona, Bilal, Lupe Fiasco, Big Daddy Kane, the Isley Brothers, Gladys Knight, Anthony Hamilton, Platinum Pied Pipers, and John Legend comprise the partial list. In addition to criss-crossing the US with riveting performances, she's toured cities in China, Philippines, Canada, Italy, and England as well as Stockholm, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Croatia, where Croatian superstar, Gibonni enlisted Maya's vocal talents for a track named "Andejo U Tebi" (''Angel In You'') that consequently won two Croatian Grammy awards (or PORIN, as they are called). The critical acclaim for Maya has been worldwide and diverse in its acknowledgement of her undeniable talent. Maya's soaring and sensual performance is featured on producer/songwriter (and son of the legendary Bob), Stephen Marley's track, "Let Her Dance," from his latest Grammy winning Universal/Tuff Gong release "Mind Control." An upcoming single with popular dance producer Bob Sinclair promises radio play. Upcoming recording collaborations with HipHop artists in the underground scene include Immortal Technique, Cheeks (Lost Boys), Dres (Black Sheep), Hasan Salaam, Doujah Raze, and more. Maya recently had the Number 3 spot on BILLBOARD'S Hot Club Dance chart with the single, "Make It Happen" on Kult Records. Her recent Jason Fisher-directed video, "Set you Free," is on rotation at BET-J. Her voice may even have grabbed your attention through the national NAIR commercials in "The Less You Wear" and "Short Shorts" campaigns plus others like Gillette, Johnson & Johnson, Icy Hot, Macy's INC, Mike's Hard Lemonade, and Longhorn Steakhouse. Her focus, however, lies with her own band that has built an avid following throughout the world wherever they've traveled. Her sound has been compared to Roberta Flack, Chaka Kahn, Lauryn Hill and Jill Scott. What lies in common between all the comparisons is the high energy, excellent live show and huge range. In line with her belief that music is a tool for healing and activism, she supports humanitarian causes with her voice. Maya sang on Washington DC's historic Mall at the Save Darfur Rally against genocide in the Sudan, in solidarity with national activists and celebrities such as Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, and George Clooney. She was commissioned to write two original songs for IFC documentary Lockdown USA; was invited two years in a row to be the official post-race entertainment at the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in NYC's Central Park; and produced Hope Night, a night of domestic abuse awareness which included NY's Governor David Paterson as a one of the speakers. As Performing Songwriter Magazine puts it: "Maya Who?! Won't be a question people ask for long."

Her recent Jason Fisher-directed video, "Set you Free," is on rotation at BET-J. Her voice may even have grabbed your attention through the national NAIR commercials in "The Less You Wear" and "Short Shorts" campaigns plus others like Gillette, Johnson & Johnson, Icy Hot, Macy's INC, Mike's Hard Lemonade, and Longhorn Steakhouse. Her focus, however, lies with her own band that has built an avid following throughout the world wherever they've traveled. Her sound has been compared to Roberta Flack, Chaka Kahn, Lauryn Hill and Jill Scott. What lies in common between all the comparisons is the high energy, excellent live show and huge range. In line with her belief that music is a tool for healing and activism, she supports humanitarian causes with her voice. Maya sang on Washington DC's historic Mall at the Save Darfur Rally against genocide in the Sudan, in solidarity with national activists and celebrities such as Barack Obama, Al Sharpton, and George Clooney. She was commissioned to write two original songs for IFC documentary Lockdown USA; was invited two years in a row to be the official post-race entertainment at the Susan G Komen Race for the Cure in NYC's Central Park; and produced Hope Night, a night of domestic abuse awareness which included NY's Governor David Paterson as a one of the speakers. As Performing Songwriter Magazine puts it: "Maya Who?! Won't be a question people ask for long."

NEW SOUND OF SOUL SERIES: MAYA AZUCENA

FEATURING: Maya Azucena, vocals Christian Ver Halen, guitar Other musicians, TBA Often described as the "hardest working artist I know," Maya Azucena has planted the seeds for her burgeoning career by touring around the world. To date, she's shared stages or been on bills with legendary artists, vets and newcomers from the worlds of R&B, Soul, Hip Hop, Jazz, and Rock. The list of artists she's performed with is a who's who, such as Roberta Flack, Roy Ayers, Vernon Reid, Stephen Marley, Martin Luther, Jaguar Wright, Joss Stone, Leon Ware, Richard Bona, Bilal, Lupe Fiasco, Big Daddy Kane, the Isley Brothers, Gladys Knight, Anthony Hamilton, Platinum Pied Pipers, and John Legend comprise the partial list. In addition to criss-crossing the US with riveting performances, she's toured cities in China, Philippines, Canada, Italy, and England as well as Stockholm, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Croatia, where Croatian superstar, Gibonni enlisted Maya's vocal talents for a track named "Andejo U Tebi" (''Angel In You'') that consequently won two Croatian Grammy awards (or PORIN, as they are called). The critical acclaim for Maya has been worldwide and diverse in its acknowledgement of her undeniable talent. Maya's soaring and sensual performance is featured on producer/songwriter (and son of the legendary Bob), Stephen Marley's track, "Let Her Dance," from his latest Grammy winning Universal/Tuff Gong release "Mind Control." An upcoming single with popular dance producer Bob Sinclair promises radio play.

Devin The Dude

Thu, May 20, 2010 Doors: 8:00 PM / Show: 9:00 PM $15.00 - $18.00 Devin The DudeMySpaceFacebookTwitterWatchMore Devin Copeland aka Devin the Dude was born in St. Petersburg, FL, and later moved to Texas while in the fourth grade. As a child he went back and forth from New Boston and Houston and finally settled in the latter after he graduated high school. In the late '80s, Devin met Rob Quest, a blind rapper and producer who was part of a Houston crew called the Coughee Brothas. Later on, the duo formed a group named the Odd Squad and recruited Devin's long-time friend Jugg Mugg and a local DJ named DJ Screw. Screw (who was later replaced by DJ Styles) took the group's demo tape to Rap-a-Lot Records CEO James Smith, who quickly signed the group in 1992. Their debut album, Fadanuf fa Erybody!!, was released in 1994 with "I Can't See It" as the lead single and video. Although hip-hop fans praised the effort put out by the Odd Squad, their album was not as commercially successful as they hoped. While the group went back to the drawing board, Rap-a-Lot franchise artist Scarface approached Devin to be a part of his new group, Facemob. Facemob released one album in 1996, The Other Side of the Law, and then broke up due to internal problems. At this time, Devin decided to work on his debut solo album, The Dude, with the help of Smith and Scarface. The Dude was released in 1998 with virtually no video and little radio play. The Dude was a smoothed-out, funk-laden album and an ode to wine, women, and weed. Regardless, the album built a large underground following and even caught the attention of veteran hip-hop producer Dr. Dre. He contacted Devin in 1999 and asked him to be a part of the 2001 album on the track "Fuck You." This single appearance made Devin a hot commodity, earning him appearances on songs with De La Soul, Raphael Saadiq, veteran rap group UGK, and a solo track on the Oz soundtrack. His anticipated sophomore LP, Just Tryin' ta Live, was released in the summer of 2002 and featured appearances from Nas, Xzibit, and Raphael Saadiq with production from Dre, DJ Premier, and his Coughee Brothas. -Quibian "Q" Salazar-Moreno, All Music Guide with special guests The Coughee BrothazMySpaceMoreVenue Information: Knitting Factory Brooklyn 361 Metropolitan Ave Brooklyn , NY 11211http://ny.knittingfactory.com

Dimmer

Sun, May 9, 2010 Doors: 7:00 PM / Show: 8:00 PM $8.00 DimmerMySpaceWatchMore Dimmer eventually arose from the ashes of Straitjacket Fits -oh god i dunno - some time last century. Our first release was a buzzy little bee called "Crystalator" which Sub Pop put out as a seven inch. It had a cool label and a big dj hole in the middle altho' I don't think djs were too interested at the time. Shortly afterwards - well a long time afterwards actually - we put out another single "Don't Make Me Buy Out Your Silence" on Flying Nun. It had a cool b-side called "Pacer" which is probably the second cousin of "Crystalator". We'll have to play that one live again sometime cos it pretty much blistered. I then retired to my shed and engaged in all manner of Pro Tools tom foolery for what seemed like, and in fact was , an eternity. That resulted in the first Dimmer album "I Believe You Are A Star" released in 2001. It was an attempt to marry the organic with the inorganic which seemed like a new idea at the time. The then Dimmer drummer, Gary Sullivan, carved out these wooden letters G-O-N-E which we propped up behind the speakers as an on going reminder of what we were going for (we couldn't think of any anagrams) - but that probably accounts for that record's woozy vibe. The New Zealand Herald made that their album of the year don't you know ? We put out our second album - "You've Got To Hear The Music" in 2004.With that album we wanted to make a record you could clap your hands to, kinda like campfire music for warped little scouts. They even gave us some NZ music awards for that one tho' i think the first album's probably better. 2006 saw the release of album three "There My Dear" which was mainly a reaction to a brief Straitjacket Fits reunion tour that served as a reminder of how direct and pure a four piece can be - especially after years of pushing musical splinters around a screen. The Dimmer band travelled extensively in 2007 with twin trips to both the U.S and Australia where we toured with the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre and Spectrum. 2008 we came back home, sat down, wondered why our records didn't sound like we did live and put together one that did . It's called "Degrees Of Existence" and it's out now.

Chris Knox Benefit - SOLD OUT - Yo La Tengo, Jeff Mangum,...

About This EventMinimum Age:18+Doors Open: 6:00 PMShow Time: 8:00 PMDescription: Hosted by Le Poisson Rouge, Wordless Music and WFMU, this show is a benefit for New Zealand musician Chris Knox, who suffered a series of life-altering strokes last year. It comes on the heels of Merge Records’ release of Stroke, a double album compilation of artists covering Knox songs with the proceeds going to benefit him and his family. All money raised for this event, save for circa $2,500 base costs to cover direct club expenses, is going straight to the Knox family. Chris Knox’s presence and influence on New Zealand music can only properly be compared to the relationship between Caetano Veloso and Brazil, and Ali Farka Touré in Mali. He started as one of the first and most highly regarded Kiwi punk rock musicians in the late seventies, and went on to be known for his work as a comic artist, television host, film reviewer and music producer for releases on the illustrious Flying Nun roster. His work as Tall Dwarfs (with Alec Bathgate) and as a solo artist has influenced musicians far beyond his country’s borders, as evidenced by the lineup for this show. Tickets go on sale Tuesday, March 30th at 12:00pm through http://www.kickstarter.com/. This is a general admission, standing event. No flash photography.The show is sold out, but LPR Members have a chance to win tickets! Members can send an e-mail to chrisknox@lprnyc.com with "Knox Giveaway" in the subject line. To find out more about the LPR Membership program click here. ArtistsYo La TengoYo La Tengo is one of the all-time great American garage bands, operating out of Hoboken, NJ, for almost 20 years now without running out of ideas. Guitarist Ira Kaplan and drummer Georgia Hubley are a married couple who seem to like each other, quite the rock-world novelty. Together, they do for monogamy what the Velvet Underground did for heroin -- even their screaming feedback drones have the down-home feel of neighbors jamming on the back porch. Ever since bassist James McNew joined in the early '90s, the trio has been one of indie rock's most adventurous and most beloved bands. They do folkie ballads, they do noise, they try endless guitar jams, they play around with keyboards and drum loops, they cover any song that pops into their heads, and they were great on The Simpsons.Jeff MangumJeff Mangum is a musician best known for being the lyricist, vocalist and guitarist of the band Neutral Milk Hotel, as well as being one of the cofounders of The Elephant 6 Recording Company. Mangum, along with the other members of the Elephant 6, attended Ruston High School in the late 1980s. The friends shared a passion for bands of the 1960s such as The Zombies, as well as an affinity for newer, noisier bands such as Sonic Youth and Minutemen. They reflected these influences in the tapes they recorded and shared with each other, forming the seeds of what would become the Elephant 6 Collective.Kyp MaloneKyp Malone is a guitarist and backing vocalist for the critically acclaimed indie rock group TV on the Radio. Earlier this year he released his first solo album under his side project, Rain Machine.PortastaticThough Mac McCaughan has plenty to keep him busy — playing in Superchunk, managing the successful Merge Records — he also spends time recording under the moniker of Portastatic. In 1993, Tom Scharpling of 18 Wheeler Records asked to release some of McCaughan’s lo-fi, four-track recordings; his request was met by the singles “Sandals with White Socks” and “Starter”. Since then the side-project has recorded (using a variety of lineups) six full length albums, several singles, and two movie soundtracks. In 1994, McCaughan released his first Portastatic album I Hope Your Heart Is Not Brittle; followed in 1995 by a second album, Slow Note from a Sinking Ship, and the “Scrapbook” EP. The Nature of Sap appeared in 1997, and the moniker emerged again with 2000’s EP “De Mel, De Melao”, which paid homage to classic Brazilian artists like Caetano Veloso and Arnaldo Baptista. In 2001, McCaughan returned with Looking for Leonard, the score to a film written and directed by Superchunk fans Matt Bissonette and Steven Clark. The full-length Summer of the Shark was released in 2003, followed closely by its partner EP “Autumn Was A Lark”, which was also made full-length by including acoustic versions of older songs.The CleanThe Clean were a band that formed in Dunedin, New Zealand in 1978. Led through a number of rotating line-ups by brothers Hamish and David Kilgour, the band (usually a trio), forged a distinctive and quirky sound that relied heavily on organ melodies and simple chord progressions. They carved out a distinctive, noisy but melodic sound, distinguished by David's screeching, distorted guitar. In 1981, a fan of the Clean founded the Flying Nun label to release their first single, "Tally Ho." A follow-up track off one of their early EPs, "Beatnik", also achieved success, as did the second single, "Getting Older". In the ealry 80s the band released 2 eps and two singles. Tally ho, Boodle Boodle Boode and Great Sounds all charted in the top 20 in NZ. Since the late 80s the band has occasionally reformed and recorded new material releasing 3 more Lps on Flying Nun in NZ and Merge Records in the USA. The Vehicle Lp was also released in Europe & the USA by Rough Trade. In April 2007 the band toured NZ and are now considering ways of writing and recording new material over the next 6 months. Touring the world is also a vague idea! Hamish lives in NYC. Robert and David live in Dunedin, NZ. All are active as solo artists (or in Hamish's case , active as a Mad Scene).Claudia Gonson of the Magnetic FieldsClaudia Gonson, (born 5 April 1968 in Boston, Massachusetts) is an American musician best known for her work with The Magnetic Fields. She occasionally provides the band lead vocals as well as performing the piano or drums.Sharon Van EttenCertain musicians are magic. Their voices prick up the ears of those far afield, melt the hearts of those within earshot and magnetize the attention of those souls fortunate enough to have a clear sightline. Sharon Van Etten is a singer and songwriter who trades in that caliber of mysticism. What her heart bleeds her songs soak in and offer up to those throats in need of slaking. This is what we expect from musicians who trade in the autobiographical. We hold forth empty vessels and expect them to be filled with the reflective elements of a songwriter’s soul, mirrors within which we search for some small recognizable part of the self. Sharon’s bane may be to feel too deeply, but her raw nerves, open heart and generous soul offer the rest of us a means to ease our own points of suffering.John MulaneyJohn Mulaney was discovered sitting at a soda fountain on Sunset Blvd in the 1940s and now has some big-shot contract with RKO. He is also a comedian who appears every week on VH1's BEST WEEK EVER and has performed on LATE NIGHT WITH CONAN O'BRIEN, JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE and Comedy Central's LIVE AT GOTHAM. In 2006 he co-created I LOVE THE 30s and All-Access Middle Ages for Comedy Central's MOTHERLOAD channel. Mulaney has spent the last year touring with Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn and more on the 2007 COMEDIAN'S OF COMEDY tour as well as with Mike Birbiglia on his SECRET PUBLIC JOURNAL LIVE TOUR. Now living in New York City, Mulaney appears in clubs, theaters and colleges around the country. He is nice, kind of tall, whatever. Robert ScottRobert Scott is a world-wise man. In a prolific 20 year music career he’s travelled the globe and recorded with several seminal New Zealand bands – as the bass player for Flying Nun’s original breakthrough band, The Clean, singer/guitarist in our long-serving guitar-poppers, The Bats, and lately as the driving force behind The Magick Heads. He’s written thousands of songs (as Roy Colbert’s accompanying bio testifies) and his discography stretches over at least a dozen albums by these bands and his other projects such as the Weeds and Electric Blood. David KilgourDavid Kilgour is a musician from Dunedin, a city in the South Island of New Zealand. He first started playing guitar as a teenager in the late 1970s. With brother Hamish he formed The Clean, a group that went on to become one of the most popular and most respected bands in New Zealand.DimmerDimmer eventually arose from the ashes of Straitjacket Fits -oh god i dunno - some time last century. Our first release was a buzzy little bee called "Crystalator" which Sub Pop put out as a seven inch. It had a cool label and a big dj hole in the middle altho' I don't think djs were too interested at the time. Shortly afterwards - well a long time afterwards actually - we put out another single "Don't Make Me Buy Out Your Silence" on Flying Nun. It had a cool b-side called "Pacer" which is probably the second cousin of "Crystalator". We'll have to play that one live again sometime cos it pretty much blistered. I then retired to my shed and engaged in all manner of Pro Tools tom foolery for what seemed like, and in fact was , an eternity. That resulted in the first Dimmer album "I Believe You Are A Star" released in 2001. It was an attempt to marry the organic with the inorganic which seemed like a new idea at the time. The then Dimmer drummer, Gary Sullivan, carved out these wooden letters G-O-N-E which we propped up behind the speakers as an on going reminder of what we were going for (we couldn't think of any anagrams) - but that probably accounts for that record's woozy vibe. The New Zealand Herald made that their album of the year don't you know ? We put out our second album - "You've Got To Hear The Music" in 2004.With that album we wanted to make a record you could clap your hands to, kinda like campfire music for warped little scouts. They even gave us some NZ music awards for that one tho' i think the first album's probably better. 2006 saw the release of album three "There My Dear" which was mainly a reaction to a brief Straitjacket Fits reunion tour that served as a reminder of how direct and pure a four piece can be - especially after years of pushing musical splinters around a screen. The Dimmer band travelled extensively in 2007 with twin trips to both the U.S and Australia where we toured with the likes of Brian Jonestown Massacre and Spectrum. 2008 we came back home, sat down, wondered why our records didn't sound like we did live and put together one that did . It's called "Degrees Of Existence" and it's out now.The Mad SceneThe Mad Scene was founded in 1990 in Auckland, New Zealand. They were originally called Monsterland but had to change the name upon moving to NYC the following year because there was already a local band of that name. They released an EP Falling Over, Spilling Over in 1992 on NYC label Homestead. Hamish's former label, New Zealand's Flying Nun released the band's debut album A Trip Thru Monsterland in 1993. After some personnel changes the band signed to Merge and a second album Sealight was released in 1996. The band have released other singles and EPs on various indie labels (see discography below). They play often in New York City, but they rarely record. They're working on a new LP at the moment. Current band members in a revolving line-up include Hamish Kilgour, Lisa Siegel, Brian Turner, Danny Tunick and Cassie Terman. CoastingBrooklyn duo Coasting have accidentally boogie-boarded their way into a not-so-chill wave of ecstatic local surf-punk, adding their own distorto-crunchy twist. Less bubblegum than Beachniks, more lo-fi than Real Estate, and more jaded than Best Coast, the two gals in Coasting are more mature, more unhinged and more demented. They were raised on a steady diet of Cramps records, kiwi punk deep cuts, and Todd P shows--in fact, drummer Fiona Cambell and guitarist Madison Farmer met while they were building and managing stages and for various Todd P events. Campbell, a New Zealand native who had logged time in NZ rockers the Coolies, had been in Brooklyn for four years but was hesitant to form a new band until just recently. "I was so scared to play music with anyone because things can get serious so quickly," says Campbell. "Madison has such an awesome attitude about it: 'Lets just mess around and see what happens.'" Their de facto theme song "Coasting" is a great example of this serendipitous motto. Recorded a laptop the duo had perched on a couch, "Coasting" showcases everything this band is great at in one spontaneous burst--barbaric drum pound, playful shore-licking surf riffs, skuzzy waves of static, and an anarchic joy somewhere between vintage NYC scumfuckery and the bear hugs of contemporary nu-fi. Stay tuned for their debut 7", set to be the second release on promising, brand-spankin-new noize-surf label Group Tightener.Rachel FeinsteinRachel Feinstein's grew up outside Washington DC, the daughter of a civil rights lawyer and a blues musician, giving her a keen eye for the absurd and unjust. She developed her hilarious, character driven style by opening for her father’s blues band as a kid and doing impressions of various loud and jarring relatives. Rachel has made numerous appearances on "Comedy Central" and can also be seen on upcoming episodes of “Comics Unleashed” as well as the “ Just For Laughs” comedy series on TBS. She's written for "The Onion" and "Heeb Magazine." Rachel has voiced various characters on Adult Swim's "Venture Brothers," the animated Comedy Central web series, "Samurai Love God" and Spike TV’s web series "Battle Pope." She has also appeared on VH1’s, "Jewtastic" and CNN’s "Not Just Another Cable News Show." International spots include “ Montreal Comedy Festival”, Scotland’s “Glasgow Comedy Festival,” Amsterdam’s “Comedy Factory” and a U.S Military tour in Korea. Check her out in the upcoming independent films, “Circus Maximus” and “Turbo Charge”, a mockumentary about ‘The Cars.’ She can be seen on Russell Simmons new “Def Comedy Jam” series for Comedy Central. Rachel also just taped her own half hour special, “Comedy Central Presents Rachel Feinstein” which will air in March, 2010.

Guitarist Christy Karacas and drummer Luke Crotty play sloppily on purpose, and frontman Joe Bradley howls about cocaine and easy girls so ferociously you want to give him a glass of water. Crass, foul and politically incorrect? That's the point." - Rolling Stone "It's been a while since I've been able to whole-heartedly get behind a band or record. There's always that one acoustic tune or the guy in the band who wears a scarf inside or whatever that keeps you from really championing them. This is simply a few guys who hang out at Greenpoint Tavern, slow-dance with the owner and occasionally stumble down the street to write rock songs. Record of the year so far." - Vice "Read-deal rock music's been so hard for bands to pull off lately without winking or sounding like complete turds in a time machine, but not Cheeseburger. They get it. They just do. Huge riffs, amazing vocals and insane fun. AC/DC and the Stooges are apt comparisons, but somehow these references feel a bit pedestrian, because beyond all the throwback riffing, this record still manages to feel modern, which is a real feat.

Woodstock Anthem: The Woodstock Song Project featuring...

Woodstock Anthem: The Woodstock Song Project A New Show Celebrating the Woodstock Song Tradition – from the Mythical 60’s to the Music of Woodstock Today Preview Performance on May 1st at Alphabet Lounge Woodstock, NY – Growing out of a revitalized Woodstock recording and live music scene is a new collective project that shares the spirit of the town’s storied musical happenings. WOODSTOCK ANTHEM: THE WOODSTOCK SONG PROJECT celebrates the area’s rich tradition of song and free spirited live happenings. These mini ‘Sound-outs’ (the local mini-festivals that were the pre-cursor to the massive 1969 festival) offer new music from the Woodstock region – along with inspired interpretations of Woodstock music from all eras. The shows will be performed by a rotating group of top performing songwriters and session musicians from the Woodstock scene. Local acts of note will also join the performances. The debut WOODSTOCK ANTHEM concert will take place on Saturday, May 1st at the Alphabet Lounge in the East Village. This night will feature Woodstock guitar hero Chris Zaloom, who has gigged and recorded with rock heavies ranging from Jimi Hendrix to buzz band Duke and the King; singer/songwriter Julia Nichols who has recorded and toured with The Slits and Coheed and Cambria. Julia and Chris will front their band Naked, a popular Woodstock band that also boasts singer/songwriter/percussionist Ben Vita (son of Woodstock legend John Sebastian) and John Watson, and in-demand young Woodstock session drummer. The evening will also feature two NYC ex-pats who have been making their name on the Hudson Valley singer/songwriter circuit: Kyle Esposito, who will perform his own songs on voice and guitar, and then provide the slinky bass lines for Naked; and Doug Yoel, a Grammy-nominated record producer and multi-instrumentalist. NYC Singer/songwriter Debbie Deane, who records for Ravi Coltrane’s RKM Music label, will add a local flavor to the event, performing on Wurlitzer and guitar. There will be some jamming between the artists, special guests, and ensemble performances of popular music from the likes of Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell, The Band, Van Morrison, et al. And a whole lot of great new music!

I Love Vinyl - DJ Scribe, Amir, Ge-Ology, The Twilite...

About This EventMinimum Age:21+Doors Open:10:00 PMShow Time:10:00 PMDescription: Founded 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. $5 (plus $5 well drinks b4 11pm) Download the July Mix from I Love Vinyl Here!ArtistsDJ Scribe Scribe fell in love with music at an early age and never fell out. "I used to march around the house with my grandfather banging pot lids together as cymbals." His interest progressed, quite naturally, from pots and pans to violin to piano to synthesizers to samplers to turntables. Inspired by Public Enemy and The Pharcyde (among others), in the golden age of hip-hop that was the early 90's, he began collecting records. "Hip-hop, especially at that time, was unique in the history of recorded music, because for every new record that came out, there were three more you got educated about through the samples. My music knowledge and my collection were moving forwards and backwards through time simultaneously. I got hooked." Hip-hop (along with the dancehall reggae and acid jazz of the time), led him back in time to soul, funk, disco, r&b, roots reggae and jazz, and would later expand into a musical repertoire spanning afrobeat, house, broken-beat, latin, and his beloved 80s pop childhood roots. Without turntables of his own, Scribe taught himself how to mix on live radio on WOBC FM at Oberlin College in Ohio, 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 first show of 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. 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 2006, Scribe and partner OP! (Suite 903) founded Nu-iSh, a multifaceted venture dedicated to representing, supporting, and exposing the best new music. Nu-iSh, partnering with a who's-who of quality independent labels around the world, began as a monthly party at Element, a weekly music review column on Coolhunting.com, a concert presenter for emerging artists like Heavy, and more. Then, in 2008, Scribe and OP!, under the Nu-iSh umbrella, launched the monthly instant smash Raw Fusion NYC, the New York arm of the Raw Fusion franchise, at APT, one of NYC's top dj venues. Raw Fusion NYC has 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. Raw Fusion moves to nyc's best soundsystem, Love, in July 2009. And most recently, in May 2009, Scribe founded I Love Vinyl, an all-vinyl party, with six resident djs. himself, Ge-Ology, Anthony Khan aka The Twilite Tone, Amir (Kon & Amir), OP! and Jon Oliver. The first party, at Le Poisson Rouge's Gallery Bar, was packed and jumping. In conjunction with the party, Scribe started a vinyl appreciation page on Facebook which attracted 10,000 fans in 10 days (now 14K+), and is also launching a line of I Love Vinyl merchandise with the logo, by popular demand. Scribe has shared the marquee at live music venues like the Highline Ballroom, Le Poisson Rouge, SOB's and Joe's Pub with Floetry, Roy Ayers, Black Eyed Peas, Scratch of The Roots, Omar, Eve, Dwele, Les Nubians, Stephanie McKay, Antibalas, Little Dragon, Chin Chin 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, Winter Music Conference, and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival. A socially/politically conscious and committed individual, Scribe has done benefits with such organizations as Green Drinks, Third Wave Foundation, Active Listening, Paper Tiger TV, and Momentum Aids Project; and has also done major industry events for Gen-Art, and The Fader, Esquire, Details, Talk, and Elle Girl magazines. In 2005, Scribe founded the DJ Collective, a forum for musically-oriented djs in NYC to develop resources and address the concerns of the dj community. The group also produced a number of benefit events, including a fundraiser in conjunction with Turntables on the Hudson at NYC's Cielo for rebuilding New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. 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". As of 2005, Scribe runs the stateside offices for Mad Mats' Stockholm-based Raw Fusion Recordings, as US Label Manager.

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."

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.

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.

About This EventMinimum Age:21+Doors Open:10:00 PMShow Time:10:00 PMDescription:Official Release Party Kon and Amir present: Off Track Vol 3 (BBE) Out April 27 Founded 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.

"I used to march around the house with my grandfather banging pot lids together as cymbals." His interest progressed, quite naturally, from pots and pans to violin to piano to synthesizers to samplers to turntables. Inspired by Public Enemy and The Pharcyde (among others), in the golden age of hip-hop that was the early 90's, he began collecting records. "Hip-hop, especially at that time, was unique in the history of recorded music, because for every new record that came out, there were three more you got educated about through the samples. My music knowledge and my collection were moving forwards and backwards through time simultaneously. I got hooked." Hip-hop (along with the dancehall reggae and acid jazz of the time), led him back in time to soul, funk, disco, r&b, roots reggae and jazz, and would later expand into a musical repertoire spanning afrobeat, house, broken-beat, latin, and his beloved 80s pop childhood roots. Without turntables of his own, Scribe taught himself how to mix on live radio on WOBC FM at Oberlin College in Ohio, 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 first show of 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. 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 2006, Scribe and partner OP! (Suite 903) founded Nu-iSh, a multifaceted venture dedicated to representing, supporting, and exposing the best new music. Nu-iSh, partnering with a who's-who of quality independent labels around the world, began as a monthly party at Element, a weekly music review column on Coolhunting.com, a concert presenter for emerging artists like Heavy, and more. Then, in 2008, Scribe and OP!, under the Nu-iSh umbrella, launched the monthly instant smash Raw Fusion NYC, the New York arm of the Raw Fusion franchise, at APT, one of NYC's top dj venues. Raw Fusion NYC has 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. Raw Fusion moves to nyc's best soundsystem, Love, in July 2009. And most recently, in May 2009, Scribe founded I Love Vinyl, an all-vinyl party, with six resident djs. himself, Ge-Ology, Anthony Khan aka The Twilite Tone, Amir (Kon & Amir), OP! and Jon Oliver. The first party, at Le Poisson Rouge's Gallery Bar, was packed and jumping. In conjunction with the party, Scribe started a vinyl appreciation page on Facebook which attracted 10,000 fans in 10 days (now 14K+), and is also launching a line of I Love Vinyl merchandise with the logo, by popular demand. Scribe has shared the marquee at live music venues like the Highline Ballroom, Le Poisson Rouge, SOB's and Joe's Pub with Floetry, Roy Ayers, Black Eyed Peas, Scratch of The Roots, Omar, Eve, Dwele, Les Nubians, Stephanie McKay, Antibalas, Little Dragon, Chin Chin 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, Winter Music Conference, and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival. A socially/politically conscious and committed individual, Scribe has done benefits with such organizations as Green Drinks, Third Wave Foundation, Active Listening, Paper Tiger TV, and Momentum Aids Project; and has also done major industry events for Gen-Art, and The Fader, Esquire, Details, Talk, and Elle Girl magazines. In 2005, Scribe founded the DJ Collective, a forum for musically-oriented djs in NYC to develop resources and address the concerns of the dj community. The group also produced a number of benefit events, including a fundraiser in conjunction with Turntables on the Hudson at NYC's Cielo for rebuilding New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. 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".

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." 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.

DISEMBODIED

The combination of metal and hardcore owes a huge debt to Disembodied, a band who made basements, VFW halls and loosely organized festivals their home long before amphitheaters and energy drinks came calling to their scene. Sure, crucially important bands like Cro-Mags and Integrity pioneered the style, but Disembodied took "metalcore" to uncharted depths of sheer heaviness and unbridled brutality. Two full-length albums, (1997's Diablerie and 1999's Heretic), together with a handful of EPs, compilation appearances and a live performance that jettisoned the conventions of the day formed a body of work that altered perceptions in the scene around the world. Theirs is a legacy that has begged to be finished since the band dissolved in the late '90s. And now the band who was undeniably shaped by the harsh, cold and isolated Minnesota winter has returned to wreak all new devastation upon true believers and unsuspecting listeners weaned on lesser bands alike Disembodied's return is marked by one single, solitary, unifying theme: to make "the heaviest record ever recorded." They aren't looking to cash in, become "rock stars" or even quit their day jobs. And it's that type of focus and lack of careerist aspirations that will allow them to retain the purity in their sound and vision, which is what so many people connected with when they were together the first time. Disembodied understands how important a band can be to someone and they respect and value that connection

The Spring Standards w/ Via Audio @ (Le) Poisson Rouge...

Doors 7 p.m. / Show 7:30 p.m. $13 advance / $15 day of show 18+ (Limited Seating) The Spring Standards are an energetic force of three-part harmony circling over a rock n' roll sound with an old country aftertaste. From small towns to big cities, they explode on stage with spirit, spontaneity, and a style all their own. MTV's John Norris says "They willingly embrace dissonance, and their execution is impeccable, from their tight, CSN-worthy vocal harmonies to their wickedly intense percussive power." Two years after the release of their critically-acclaimed album Say Something, Brooklyn’s indie pop quartet Via Audio releases their sophomore opus, Animalore, a melting pot collection of eccentric sounds- songs infused with fairy tales, folklore, science fiction, romance, seduction, and adventure.

Ages: All Ages KENNY WERNER QUINTET feat. RANDY BRECKER, DAVID SANCHEZ, JOHN PATITUCCI & ANTONIO SANCHEZ - HALF NOTE LIVE RECORDING! FEATURING: Kenny Werner, piano Randy Brecker, trumpet David Sanchez, tenor saxophone John Patitucci, bass Antonio Sanchez, drums Kenny Werner was born on November 19, 1951 in Brooklyn, N.Y., U.S.A. At the age of eleven, he recorded a single with a fifteen-piece orchestra and appeared on television playing stride piano. He attended the Manhattan School of Music as a concert piano major. In 1970, he transferred to the Berklee School of Music. In 1977, recorded first LP that featured of the music of Bix Beiderbecke, Duke Ellington, James P. Johnson and George Gershwin and later that year with Charles Mingus on Something Like A Bird. In the early 80's he toured extensively and recorded with Archie Shepp. In 1984 he joined the Mel Lewis Orchestra. He received performance grants from the National Endowment for the Arts in both 1985 and 1987, and was commissioned to compose and conduct a memorial piece for Duke Ellington at St. John of the Divine Church in New York performed by the Manhattan School of Music's Stage Band and the New York City Choir. Has also written compositions for the Mel Lewis Jazz Orchestra, now known as the Vanguard Jazz Orchestra. In 1981, he formed his first trio with bassist Ratzo Harris and drummer Tom Rainey. Their first trio CD for Sunnyside records was entitled, Ken Werner - Introducing The Trio. They played together for fourteen years. Since 1971, Kenny has also enjoyed a close friendship and musical collaboration with brilliant saxophonist Joe Lovano. Since 1989-served as pianist, arranger and musical director for the noted film, television and Broadway star, Betty Buckley. Starting in the mid-90s, Werner also began collaborating in duo and quartet settings with harmonica superstar Toots Thielemans. Werner is a prolific composer and bandleader and has made a number of significant recordings in his career. He has recorded extensively for Half Note Records, the in-house record label of the Blue Note Jazz Club, his first release being a 2004 trio recording entitled Peace featuring bassist Johannes Weidenmüller and drummer Ari Hoenig. His 2006 release on Half Note, titled Democracy Now, featured his quintet fronted by David Sanchez and trumpeter Kenny Wheeler. In March, 2008, Werner showcased his chops as an arranger alongside vocalist Roseanna Vitro with their audacious recording, The Delirium Blues Project: Serve Or Suffer, and just this past August 2009, Werner recorded his largest project to date, a wind ensemble piece featuring Joe Lovano and Judi Silvano to be released by Half Note in the coming year. Werner is also a celebrated educator. His 1996 book Effortless Mastery: Liberating The Master Musician Within has had a major impact on the music world. The book provides aspiring musicians with a series of unique practice techniques that focus on psychological and spiritual aspects of playing music while instilling confidence through positive thinking. Werner currently teaches at NYU and has taught his theories at clinics all over the world.

Thursday 04.15.10 John Wesley Harding's Cabinet of Wonders John Wesley Harding and His Band, The English UK w/ Eugene Mirman, Sondre Lerche, Ben Greenman, Rick Moody, Nicole Atkins, and Daniel Felsenfeld 7:00pm doors | 7:30 pm show $20 18+ or accompanied by legal guardian 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 Sept. 16, Oct. 7, and Nov. 18: John Wesley Harding’s Cabinet of Wonders. 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.” For additional info about the artists of event, please visit here.

Fri, April 2, 2010 Doors: 8:00 PM / Show: 9:00 PM $10.00 - $12.00 Oakley HallArtist WebsiteMySpaceWatchMore Springing from 60's west coast legends like the Byrds, the Flying Burrito Bros., the Charlatans and Moby Grape, adding elements of X, Neu, the Feelies, and Fairport Convention, Oakley Hall is a roots rock sextet that refuses the dictates of stale No-Depression-era norms. None of the six members hail from Brooklyn originally - instead coming from all over the northeast and rural south: Florida, Maryland, Mississippi, New England, New York and North Carolina. Although arriving from far flung corners, in Brooklyn, they’ve bonded together over the common loves of close harmony and electrified strings, an insatiable musical curiosity, and the need to raise a racket on stage.

Graham Parker and The Figgs

Graham Parker and The Figgs 9:00pm TicketsBar Stools$25.00Reserved Tables$28.00Reserved Best Tables$32.00VIP Tables$32.00<p>Buy Now<p><p>The pairing of Graham Parker with the Figgs seems like an appropriate, fateful combination. Parker, who, along with Elvis Costello and Joe Jackson, planted a caustic, pint-sized tongue firmly in the cheek of '70s new wave; and the Figgs, unsung champions of contemporary workingman's rock 'n' roll, absorbers of the pub rock preen and pose of the former's Howlin' Wind and Shooting Out Sparks.<p>The Figgs (Mike Gent, Pete Donnelly, and Pete Hayes) are the rough-and-ready backing band, a consummate example of the deferent accompanists. They never flagrantly intrude on Parker's songs and supply the necessary gas to get from point A to point B. Whether the song calls for a Stonesy sway ("She Swallows It", "Suck 'n' Blow"), a reggae groove ("Evil"), or, in the case of "Chloroform", a decidedly Figgsian riff, they get the job done.<p>The cohesion comes from Parker's voice: it has grown shaggy and sandy with age, situating his delivery somewhere between Marah's Bielanko brothers and contemporary Dylan. Its matured sound can make the acidic rock songs sound all the more grouchy, but it's this sense of accrued knowledge and experience that makes his sneering, droll, and at times contemptuous commentary such a winning and welcome trait. With Parker's observations there's nothing ambivalent -- that's the truth and the consequence.<p>The Figgs<p>The Figgs are a rock band out of Saratoga Springs, New York. First formed in 1987 (under the name "Sonic Undertones"), their output has included at least nine traditional full length albums (two on major labels in the mid 90s), multiple EPs and singles, a live album, and gigs backing Graham Parker since 1996 and on Graham's 2005 release Songs of No Consequence, as well as Tommy Stinson of The Replacements fame.<p>The original lineup of the band included Mike Gent (guitar), Pete Donnelly (bass), and Guy Lyons (drums), who all went to high school together. When Lyons left for a spell in 1989, he was replaced by Pete Hayes. Lyons returned in 1992, this time on lead guitar, to make the band a foursome. A record deal followed late in 1993. Lyons left the band for good in 1997, after recording Couldn't Get High, which followed the band's drop from Capitol Records. The remaining three Figgs have soldiered on, with several further albums and regular concert appearances, as well as careers separate from the band.</p></p></p></p></p></p></p></p>

I Love Vinyl - DJ Scribe, Amir, Ge-Ology, Jon Oliver,...

About This EventMinimum Age:21+Doors Open:10:00 PMShow Time:10:00 PMDescription: Founded 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. $5 (plus $5 well drinks b4 11pm) Download the July Mix from I Love Vinyl Here!ArtistsDJ Scribe Scribe fell in love with music at an early age and never fell out. "I used to march around the house with my grandfather banging pot lids together as cymbals." His interest progressed, quite naturally, from pots and pans to violin to piano to synthesizers to samplers to turntables. Inspired by Public Enemy and The Pharcyde (among others), in the golden age of hip-hop that was the early 90's, he began collecting records. "Hip-hop, especially at that time, was unique in the history of recorded music, because for every new record that came out, there were three more you got educated about through the samples. My music knowledge and my collection were moving forwards and backwards through time simultaneously. I got hooked." Hip-hop (along with the dancehall reggae and acid jazz of the time), led him back in time to soul, funk, disco, r&b, roots reggae and jazz, and would later expand into a musical repertoire spanning afrobeat, house, broken-beat, latin, and his beloved 80s pop childhood roots. Without turntables of his own, Scribe taught himself how to mix on live radio on WOBC FM at Oberlin College in Ohio, 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 first show of 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. 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 2006, Scribe and partner OP! (Suite 903) founded Nu-iSh, a multifaceted venture dedicated to representing, supporting, and exposing the best new music. Nu-iSh, partnering with a who's-who of quality independent labels around the world, began as a monthly party at Element, a weekly music review column on Coolhunting.com, a concert presenter for emerging artists like Heavy, and more. Then, in 2008, Scribe and OP!, under the Nu-iSh umbrella, launched the monthly instant smash Raw Fusion NYC, the New York arm of the Raw Fusion franchise, at APT, one of NYC's top dj venues. Raw Fusion NYC has 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. Raw Fusion moves to nyc's best soundsystem, Love, in July 2009. And most recently, in May 2009, Scribe founded I Love Vinyl, an all-vinyl party, with six resident djs. himself, Ge-Ology, Anthony Khan aka The Twilite Tone, Amir (Kon & Amir), OP! and Jon Oliver. The first party, at Le Poisson Rouge's Gallery Bar, was packed and jumping. In conjunction with the party, Scribe started a vinyl appreciation page on Facebook which attracted 10,000 fans in 10 days (now 14K+), and is also launching a line of I Love Vinyl merchandise with the logo, by popular demand. Scribe has shared the marquee at live music venues like the Highline Ballroom, Le Poisson Rouge, SOB's and Joe's Pub with Floetry, Roy Ayers, Black Eyed Peas, Scratch of The Roots, Omar, Eve, Dwele, Les Nubians, Stephanie McKay, Antibalas, Little Dragon, Chin Chin 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, Winter Music Conference, and the Detroit Electronic Music Festival. A socially/politically conscious and committed individual, Scribe has done benefits with such organizations as Green Drinks, Third Wave Foundation, Active Listening, Paper Tiger TV, and Momentum Aids Project; and has also done major industry events for Gen-Art, and The Fader, Esquire, Details, Talk, and Elle Girl magazines. In 2005, Scribe founded the DJ Collective, a forum for musically-oriented djs in NYC to develop resources and address the concerns of the dj community. The group also produced a number of benefit events, including a fundraiser in conjunction with Turntables on the Hudson at NYC's Cielo for rebuilding New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. 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". As of 2005, Scribe runs the stateside offices for Mad Mats' Stockholm-based Raw Fusion Recordings, as US Label Manager. DJ Scribe spins dynamic sets from the heart, ranging from deep soul to dancefloor killers. acoustic jazz to glitch-hop and techno. 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." Ge-OlogyJon Oliver Jon Oliver (eastvillageradio.com) Jon 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 Particularly entertaining are his posts under "How Not To Request a Song" http://www.jonolivermusic.com http://www.jonolivermusic.com/category/how-not-to-request-a-song/ http://across110th.com 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. 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.

You Say Party! We Say Die!

Fri, March 26, 2010 Doors: 9:00 PM / Show: 9:30 PM $12.00 You Say Party! We Say Die!MySpaceMore YSP!WSD! has embraced soul, feeling, & rhythm while still bearing the tenets of their original sound, which caused critics around the globe to embrace the band's first two albums, Hit the Floor! & Lose All Time. After years of touring, hundreds of shows worldwide, & countless van hours together, patience has become a virtue to lead singer Becky Ninkovic, bassist Stephen O'Shea, keyboardist Krista Loewen, guitarist Derek Adam & drummer Devon Clifford. In late 2007, during a sixteen-week fall/winter tour of Canada & Europe, the band had reached a breaking point. It happened during a physical confrontation at the legendary "Rock and Roll Herberge" in Berlin, ending with Ninkovic being thrown into the street by two beefy German punk rockers. Collaborating with producer Howard Redekopp (Tegan And Sara, The New Pornographers), XXXX was recorded between January and August of 2009, and is their most intensive effort to date. John BizArtist WebsiteMySpaceFacebookTwitterMore The ever-prolific John Biz is back in the studio again, working on the follow-up to last year's Steve Albini-produced two-fer, the Vida LP and accompanying Aloha EP. This time around Bizzo has enlisted the production help of longtime friend and Budos Band member, John Carbonella, as well as the musical talents of Claude Coleman Jr and Dave Dreiwitz of Ween. Also on board: Ariella Stok, Brian Kantor, Travis harrison, Ross hendler. Though the record will be stylistically diverse, it is conceptually unified by themes of love–the ways in which we find it, keep it, lose it and carry on without it. This is a highly personal record, as all of the material was written in the aftermath of a devastating breakup, the emotional turmoil of which has proven to be fertile territory for the singer-songwriter. "We've got a mountain of material to work through," Biz says, "and we're going to finish all of it before we decide what will make the final cut, so it will be an interesting process." From blistering punk rock tunes to pretty vintage-rock ballads to psychedelic synth-folk freakouts, this record will have something for everybody.

ArtistsThe Freedom PartyVisit thefreedompartynyc.com for more information.Visit The Freedom Party on Facebook.DJ CosiCosi gets down not just for the funk of it, but for the love of it. He spins music like no other DJ on the planet and that is why New York is proud to claim him as one of its own. He spins because nothing else is quite as satisfying. “I play a mix of 70 & 80s R&B classics, funk, 80’s pop, hip-hop, reggae, afro-beat and house music,” Cosi explains. “I have a knack for knowing what people want to hear from just reading the crowd. When I play it, they dance. That’s the best feeling.” The feeling continues, even into his 15th year of spinning, as one of the few DJs who has truly mastered his art. He seamlessly blends several, if not all, of these genres throughout the evening, flawlessly moving the minds and bodies of those in the audience, making him one of the most sought-after DJs in New York City. If you’ve been to one of the myriad parties where Cosi has played, you’d know this experience first hand. Quite simply, his talent touches your soul. Tastemakers at Nike, The Gap, Brooks Brothers, MOMA, Hugo Boss, Timberland, Vibe Magazine, Phat Farm, The Chris Rock Show, Pepsi, The Magic Johnson Foundation, Enyce, Yves Saint Laurent, The National Basketball Players’ Association, The Fader Magazine, the Hudson Hotel, the W Hotel and many others have experienced this first-hand. He has held weekly’s at nightclubs such as Nell’s, Cheetah, Justin’s, APT, Lotus, NV, Float, Metronome, Discotheque, Joe’s Pub, Martinez Gallery, Mission, BLVD, and Café Deville (just to mention a few). All have hired Cosi to set the mood and create the energy for the night. He has created the perfect vibe for parties in a number of cities throughout the U.S. (from New York to Las Vegas to Puerto Rico) and internationally (Mexico, Bahamas, Anguilla to name a few). Cosi has even spun for former President Bill Clinton in the Hamptons! Here’s your chance to dance your way out of your constrictions.DJ Herbert Holler I'm the illest promoter/DJ in NYC. I have been commanding the club scene since 2000, murdering dance floors at every NYC venue you can think of. I'm also known for "The Herbert Holler," a free email list of all the hottest music events in town, songs I'm feeling, and a short editorial about life in NYC. Every Friday I'm at the legendary "FREEDOM" party, www.thefreedompartynyc.com, an event I started 6.5 years ago because music sucked, parties were boring, and people stopped dancing. We play strictly classic dance hits from the '60s through today. I can spin anything and everything. Though hip-hop, r&b, old school and classics are my claim-to-fame, right now I'm really into deep soulful house, tech house and global soul, winning over house heads and converting new listeners alike. What sets me apart from other DJs is my connection to the crowd. I play for people, not with myself. I mean for myself. I don't play with myself. Seriously. I don't. I used to, when I was little, but, you know, that's what little kids do. They play with themselves! What? I don't do it anymore!! I DON'T!! Yeah, in the bathroom. Every guy does that in the bathroom. It's the bathroom! It's not in public. What? Whatever a**hole. SHUT UP AND DANCE!!!!! DJ Marc Smoothspecial guest DJ Scratch For over two decades, DJ Scratch has been everyone’s favorite DJ's favorite DJ. Acknowledged as one of the greatest DJs of all time and in 2006, he was honored in The Source Magazine as a Hip Hop Icon. Scratch is the man who provided the flamboyance to EPMD, Jay Z and P Diddy's stage shows. Throughout the years with EPMD, Scratch drove audiences into frenzies with visual and technical routines far beyond mortal DJs. One of his most famous routines is cutting Big Daddy Kane's "Friday the 13th Imma Play Jason" line as he emerges from beneath the turntable set wearing a hockey mask. Various DJ routines & turntable tricks created by Scratch over the past 15 years are still being duplicated by concert & Battle DJs today. DJ Scratch is one of THE MOST recognized & respected exhibition, tour & club DJs in the world. Shortly after winning the New Music Seminar Battle for World Supremacy DJ Championship in 1988, he joined the RUN DMC “Run's House World Tour.” Befriended by the late Jam Master Jay (“JMJ”) of RUN DMC, JMJ mentored Scratch & converted him from a raw battle DJ to an all around performer & showman. In exchange, Scratch taught JMJ DJ solos that he performed in RUN DMC shows ever since. When the tour ended, JMJ recommended Scratch to EPMD, who needed a DJ with flair. After EPMD witnessed the DJ phenomenon do tricks at their first show, they hired Scratch on the spot. The rest is history. Scratch was the Resident DJ for three nationally aired TV Shows; "Hip Hop Hold Em', Fox 5's “Uptown Comedy Club" and B.E.T.'s "Rap City, The Basement". Scratch’s film credits include "Juice", "The Original 50 Cent", "Backstage", "Fly By Night”, "Rhyme & Reason" and Spike Lee's controversial film "Bamboozled”. In addition, Coca Cola commissioned Scratch to produce & feature in their first DJ commercial, "3 DJs”. Having mastered the art of DJing, Scratch started to pursue his second love, producing. He has produced such hits as the New York Anthem "NY Shit" by Busta Rhymes, EPMD's "Rampage", LL Cool J's "Ill Bomb", 50 Cent's "50 Shot Ya", and a long list of Hip Hop Classics. Scratch's accolades include the 3 Grammy nominations and over 40 Gold and Platinum Awards to his credit which makes DJ Scratch responsible for the sale of over 30 million albums to date. Scratch has always preached to the new generation of DJs that in order to become a complete DJ, you must "crawl before you walk”. Therefore, a DJ must learn to mix & blend before you learn to scratch and cut. By learning in this order, you will have the ability to master all sectors of Djing. "SO ALL DJ'S SHOULD, START FROM SCRATCH" live trumpet by Maurice Brown If your hips are swaying, fingers are snapping and heart is skipping, don’t call the doctor just yet—It might be the Maurice Brown Effect. Feeling good has become symptomatic of audiences from the banks of the Mississippi to the streets of New York, courtesy of soulful jazz trumpeter Maurice “Mobetta” Brown. Exciting the ears of bebop enthusiasts and hip-hoppers alike, Maurice’s passionate and improvisational rhythms have been electrifying the music industry. Innovation is the key to Maurice’s soulful melodies, which have graced both legend Aretha Franklin and urban legend Talib Kweli’s versatile recordings. The response from both old and new schoolers pushed Maurice’s 2004 debut album, Hip to Bop, onto top ten charts across the country. Maurice is an unpretentious, cultured soul with a strong musical backbone. Raised in south Chicago, Maurice was awarded a full music scholarship to Northern Illinois University upon graduating from Hillcrest High School. After winning first place in the esteemed National Miles Davis Trumpet Competition, Maurice found new flavor in the heart of Louisiana, where he continued his studies at Southern University—and captivated audiences weekly, headlining at New Orleans’ premiere jazz club, Snug Harbor. Maurice currently resides in New York where he is finishing his sophomore album, Hip to Bop II, while immersed in a grittier urban settingxpectations are high for the release, which will showcase Maurice’s talents as a trumpeter, composer, and bandleader as well as the fierce, down-home melodies we love him for. Like legendary trumpeter, Clark Terry said, "Brownie is the young trumpeter to watch for sure. I see young cats all over the world and Maurice has it.” And we want it.

STUBNBLUES - Viennese Working-Class Hero playes the...

The Austrian Cultural presents Willi Resetarits (b. 1948, Vienna, Austria) and his band Stubnblues on the occasion of their North America tour on March 25, 2010. The concert starts at 7:30 PM and takes place in the auditorium of the ACFNY, 11 East 52nd Street (between Fifth and Madison). Admission is free, but seating is limited; to make a reservation, please check www.acfny.or or call 212 319 5300, ext. 222. Willi Resetarits has been in the spotlight since the late 60s. He has been active as a musician, book author, and radio host. In 1994, Willi Resetarits started what has become the Stubnblues. It’s music far beyond blues. It’s funk. Samba. Folklore. Soul. Viennese songs. It’s poems and stories. Back in the days, a Stubn was the only heated room in a house. It was the place where people gathered, ate, talked and sang. Stubnblues started when Willi Resetarits cooperated with the Austrian author and poet H. C. Artmann, combining music and stories. Stubnblues is versatile in regards to its instruments: percussion, stringed instruments, and an accordion form the basis, additionally if desired the brass and woodwind may be played. Stubnblues is not afraid to deal with troublesome issues; with something not being right, with failure, pain, and miscommunication. Still all the while, there’s beauty, hope, and joy to it. You can always hear and feel them. Willi Resetarits (vocals, harp, stories) will be joined by the Stubnblues Allstars – Stefan Schubert (guitar, vocals), Klaus Kircher (bass, vocals), Petre Angerer (drums, vocals) and Christian Wegscheider (accoridon, keys, vocals) – to let the audience experience a very authentic, emotional, and straighforward pairing of Austrian sociability, melancholy, and optimism. Willi Resetarits has been working more intensively on projects like Stubnblues since deciding to leave behing the character of Kurt Ostbahn in 2003. In the mid-80s, Resetarits created his alter ego Kurt Ostbahn together with author and composer Günter Brödl. Kurt Ostbahn was more than just an musician. He’s a legend: 20 years of rock & roll with lyrics in the Viennese dialect made Austrian music-history and Kurt Ostbahn / Willi Resetarits a working-class hero. Willi Resetarits has always been politically and socially active, for example by being one of the founding members of organizations such as Asyl in Not, SOS Mitmensch as well as co-founder and chairman of the Integrationshaus in Vienna. He was awarded different prizes for his social commitment such as the Bruno Kreisky Prize for Human Rights. Stubnblues tours North America in March; besides performing at the ACF in New York, concerts will also be played in Washington DC (3/24), NYC (3/25), Chicago (3/27) and Ottawa/CA (3/28).

He has been active as a musician, book author, and radio host. In 1994, Willi Resetarits started what has become the Stubnblues. It’s music far beyond blues. It’s funk. Samba. Folklore. Soul. Viennese songs. It’s poems and stories. Back in the days, a Stubn was the only heated room in a house. It was the place where people gathered, ate, talked and sang. Stubnblues started when Willi Resetarits cooperated with the Austrian author and poet H. C. Artmann, combining music and stories. Stubnblues is versatile in regards to its instruments: percussion, stringed instruments, and an accordion form the basis, additionally if desired the brass and woodwind may be played. Stubnblues is not afraid to deal with troublesome issues; with something not being right, with failure, pain, and miscommunication. Still all the while, there’s beauty, hope, and joy to it. You can always hear and feel them. Willi Resetarits (vocals, harp, stories) will be joined by the Stubnblues Allstars – Stefan Schubert (guitar, vocals), Klaus Kircher (bass, vocals), Petre Angerer (drums, vocals) and Christian Wegscheider (accoridon, keys, vocals) – to let the audience experience a very authentic, emotional, and straighforward pairing of Austrian sociability, melancholy, and optimism. Willi Resetarits has been working more intensively on projects like Stubnblues since deciding to leave behing the character of Kurt Ostbahn in 2003. In the mid-80s, Resetarits created his alter ego Kurt Ostbahn together with author and composer Günter Brödl. Kurt Ostbahn was more than just an musician. He’s a legend: 20 years of rock & roll with lyrics in the Viennese dialect made Austrian music-history and Kurt Ostbahn / Willi Resetarits a working-class hero. Willi Resetarits has always been politically and socially active, for example by being one of the founding members of organizations such as Asyl in Not, SOS Mitmensch as well as co-founder and chairman of the Integrationshaus in Vienna. He was awarded different prizes for his social commitment such as the Bruno Kreisky Prize for Human Rights. Stubnblues tours North America in March; besides performing at the ACF in New York, concerts will also be played in Washington DC (3/24), NYC (3/25), Chicago (3/27) and Ottawa/CA (3/28).

VNV Nation

Of Faith, Power and Glory sees the band reach a new level musically. Raw and more soulful than ever before, VNV NATION moves into new musical territories with their strongest and most profoundly evocative release yet, taking a big leap beyond what they had achieved on their previous releases. VNV NATION has been frequently described as one of the most unique and passionate acts in the world of alternative music. Their energetic, profoundly emotive and insightful music has drawn fanatical audiences from around the world. As with all of the band’s albums, their most recent release "Faith, Power and Glory"- the title describes the theme, and in this case it is a commentary on ourselves as individuals or on humanity as a whole. Faith, Power and Glory: three things that, in succession, can bring people to the greatest of heights and achievement, or that can corrupt and destroy. The artwork, created by renowned Polish graphic artist Michal Karz, depicts a memorial in the middle of a wasteland, representing the idealistic monuments humanity has built to its solemn, greatest hopes, as a consequence of displays of its capability for brutal extremes. In keeping with one of the principles of VNV Nation, namely social awareness, the band have endeavoured over the years to change aspects of what they do, to be as environmentally friendly as possible. As part of this ongoing process, the new album will come in entirely environmentally friendly packaging using only recycled paper, vegetable ink (on both the paper and the CD itself) and water based coatings and glue. It will weigh 40-50% less than a regularly packaged CD, which means fuel used in transportation, greatly reducing the carbon footprint normally associated with CD production. Check them out at a show near you!

AM @ Terminal 5

Los Angeles-based musician AM has been invited by French electro-pop kings Air to open their first North American tour in three years. Kicking off March 13 in Miami, the jaunt will serve as the perfect launching pad for AM’s new album, Future Sons & Daughters, produced by Charles Newman (The Magnetic Fields). The run will end in AM’s hometown with a concert at the illustrious Walt Disney Concert Hall in L.A.  As a Tulsa-born, New Orleans raised artist with a flare for distilling global musical influences into his own unique and infectious pop confections, AM’s genre-blurring music, while hard to classify, goes down as smooth as a Mai Tai on a tropical island. Creative Loafing succinctly put it, “AM has an uncanny knack for crafting pop songs shaken and stirred with Philly R&B, Motown soul, ’60s rock and folk, and Brazilian rhythms that get in your head and swirl around for a spell.

Bobby Long is an amazing British storyteller whose vivid tales engulf your imagination and pull you into his soul. He took the US by storm in the latter part of 2009 and after returning to London to recharge and record his first studio album, he makes his much anticipated return. His blues inspired acoustic folk music is frequently compared to Dylan, yet is clearly a one-of-a-kind original and must be experienced live and in person.

Loretta Hagen

Loretta Hagen is a singer/songwriter from New Jersey. She's building a following throughout the Metropolitan area. Since the early nineties, Loretta has been writing and performing music that has earned rave reviews for her rich vocals and poignant songwriting. She has a style that mixes country, rock, and folk music. With her big alto, she covers many of the standard subjects: love found, love lost, love missed, love almost found and a whole lot of personal redemption. All of it is gripping and real and it's mainly due to Loretta's big voice. After six years in Nashville, Hagen toured with blues guitar legend Johnny Winter. She has performed in venues such as Music At The Mission, Outpost In The Burbs, The Mainstage, Minstrel Coffee House, Black Potatoe Festival, Falcon Ridge Folk Festival, and many more clubs and concert halls opening for artists such as Gin Blossoms, Roger McGuinn, Jonathan Edwards, The Kennedy's, Steve Forbert, John Gorka, Ellis Paul, Richie Havens, Johnny Winter, and Ollabell, as well as headlining her own shows.

Impossible Music Session 1: The Plastic Wave featuring...

The Impossible Music Sessions feature the artists who cannot appear and the music they are not free to make. In this inaugural Session, Brooklyn-based electronic rockers Cruel Black Dove interpret the music of the illegal Iranian band The Plastic Wave, who will appear via remote from Tehran. The concert will be followed by a release party for Listen to the Banned (Grappa Records), compiled by Deeyah for Freemuse. The Impossible Music Sessions are sponsored by Freemuse: The World Forum on Music and Censorship, Center for Inquiry | New York City, and Sound Liberation Front. THE PLASTIC WAVE is an underground electronic rock band in Tehran. The band was formed in summer 2008 by Saeid Nadjafi (Natch) and Maral, who met while performing at N!, the largest underground rock concert ever in Iran. The authorities arrested 230 audience members and performers, who were suspected of satanism and immoral behavior. Natch and Maral were held for days in prison, where they were interrogated and threatened. "Western" music is heavily restricted by the regime; women are prohibited from solo singing in front of audiences that include men. In Autumn 2008, The Plastic Wave released their self-produced debut album [RE]action, featuring guitars by Shayan Amini, who subsequently joined the band. In 2009, The Plastic Wave were accepted to the prestigious SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas--as reported by The Guardian UK--but were unable to obtain visas to travel. CRUEL BLACK DOVE is a Brooklyn-based electronic rock bank formed in 2007 by Alan Veucasovic, Shirley Ho, Jonathan Nanberg, and Anastasia Dimou. In the words of one reviewer, their 2008 self-released debut EP, Full Powers, "slithered around our eardrums with a sheen and polish that added a vast depth to their rich, dark sound. . . . sultry songs that straddle the worlds of artists ranging from Curve to PJ Harvey." Limewire has called Cruel Black Dove "a force of their own, full to the brim with infectious sound and fury." In January 2010, Cruel Black Dove released their new EP, The Myth And The Sum.

A BIRTHDAY SALUTE TO THE MAN IN BLACK

JOHNNY CASH TRIBUTE Featuring: Michael Patrick’s RING OF FIRE BAND B.B. King’s Blues Club & Grill NYC 237 West 42 St. New York, NY 10036 212-997-4144 February 28, 2010 8:00PM For tickets visit: http://www.bbkingblues.com/schedule/moreinfo.cgi?id=4211 Johnny Cash was an American music icon known to the world as the “Man in Black.” His booming deep bass voice is surely one of the most recognizable in country music history. While his vocal range was unique and simple, it was incredibly effective at conveying the plight of the common man. Cash’s music career began at the same time as the birth of rock `n’ roll and his rebellious attitude made him a kindred spirit. He might not have sounded like a rocker, but he was never what Nashville would have considered to be country either. Johnny Cash was unique, with his deep, resonant baritone and spare, percussive guitar. We hope you will join us on Johnny Cash’s birthday as “Michael Patrick’s Ring of Fire Band” help us celebrate and relive the music of the legendary artist… the one & only JOHNNY CASH! Michael Patrick and his legendary band of “Suburban Hillbillies,” along with NJ concert promoter Suburban Roots Concert Series (of which Patrick is a founder) has made a commitment to the revival of country, folk and roots music in their homeland of New Jersey. Obviously not a hotbed or breeding ground for the Next Nashville Star. Michael and his band have made incredible strides and carved out a comfortable niche along with a handful of other local performers in fulfilling a desire for something different, gritty, raw and real in New Jersey.

Purim Party with - Hadag Nahash

About This EventMinimum Age:21+Doors Open:11:00 PMShow Time:11:00 PMDescription:This is a general admission standing event.ArtistsHadag NahashHadag Nahash, meaning Snake Fish, is one of the most successful acts in Israeli popular music today. Though usually described as hip-hop, Hadag Nahash music also incorporates funk, jazz, electro, rock and even Middle Eastern sounds. The band is frequently compared to Philadelphia’s “the Roots” due to their use of live instruments. Hadag Nahash lyrics are known for provocative political and social content, and have on several occasions sparked public debate in primetime Israeli print, radio, television outlets- and even in the Knesset, Israel's parliament. Hadag Nahash was formed in the spring of 1996 in Jerusalem. Its six members include Sha'anan David Streett—lead vocalist; DJ Guy Mar—turntables, MPC and vocals; Shlomi Alon—saxophone and vocals; David Klemes—keyboards; Yaya Cohen Harounoff—bass guitar; and 'Atraf' Moshe Asaraf—drums. After four years of extensive touring around Israel, the band signed its first record deal in 2000 with Tel Aviv-based label, "Levantini,” and a distribution deal with "Hed Artsi," Israel's largest music distributor. To date, Hadag Nahash has released five albums and one DVD: "The Groove Machine" in 2000, "To Move" in 2003 (now a gold album), "Local Stuff" in 2004 (now a platinum album), "With the Help of the Jam" in 2006, and "Live!" which came out in CD and DVD in 2008. Over the years, Hadag Nahash has amassed numerous honors and awards, including: • Video of the Year 2003 for the song, "Gabi and Debbie" by Israel 24 Music Channel • Album of the Year 2003 for "To Move" by D.J. Magazine, a leading Israeli music magazine • Lyricists of the Year 2003 for "To Move" by ACUM, Israel's writers and composers union • Song of the Year 2004 for "The Sticker Song" by Yediot Ahronot, Israel’s most widely read daily newspaper • Video of Year 2004 for “The Sticker Song” by Israel 24 Music Channel • Band of the Year 2004 by Israel 24 Music Channel • Song of the Year 2007 for "Here I Come" by several leading Israeli radio stations • Album of the Year 2007 for "With the Help of the Jam" by Israel 24 Music Channel • Album of the Decade 1998-2008 for “To Move” by Yediot Ahronot, Israel’s most widely read daily newspaper Of all Hadag Nahash songs, “the Sticker Song” has enjoyed the farthest international reach. Written by celebrated Israeli novelist, David Grossman, and featuring bulbul-tarang player, Ahuva Ozeri, the song’s lyrics are a litany of slogans lifted from car bumper stickers (a popular form of grassroots political expression in Israel) and reflect the range of competing ideologies that comprise Israel’s political and cultural landscape. The New York Times devoted a full-length feature article to “the Sticker Song,” while a young Jewish day school teacher from Northern California used it as the basis for a class on Israeli society that has since been adopted by Jewish educators around North America. Hadag Nahash has sold out concerts throughout North America and Europe, including prestigious venues such as Budapest’s Sziget Festival, Chicago’s House of Blues, New York’s Knitting Factory and Webster Hall, San Francisco’s Ruby Sky and Toronto’s Ricoh Colliseum. The band has also collaborated with major international artists, such as Arrested Development, the Black Eyed Peas, Cypress Hill, Matisyahu, and Saian Supa Kru (of France).

Music at First featuring Threefifty Duo

Threefifty Duo has been described as a "classical guitar duo with a rock edge," as musicians Brett Parnell and Geremy Schulick seamlessly weave their contemporary rock sensibilities into the rich fabric of classical guitar. After years of writing and performing together and with a second album under Threefifty's belt, the duo’s stylistic tendencies have expanded beyond their initial categorization, with genre blurred by an intensely personal sound. This series, curated by Wil Smith (New York composer who also serves as organist at First Presbyterian), occurs monthly, featuring one performer or ensemble per evening. Each concert will last about an hour and half each. Smith describes the new series, Music at First, as “a diverse mix of New York City's best new music ensembles and performers, accessible to a wide audience of both community members and seasoned new music listeners.” Future performances include pianist Kathleen Supové on March 26, cellist/vocalist Jody Redhage and Fire in July on April 16 and flute/percussionist duo Conor Nelson and Ayano Kataoka on May 28 (CD release).

El Perro Del Mar and Taken By Trees

9pm doors | 9:30pm show $15 18+ or accompanied by legal guardian El Perro del Mar is the solo project of singer/songwriter Sarah Assbring from Gothenburg, Sweden. Her music could be described as melancholic lo-fi pop. Taken By Trees Victoria Bergsman, previously best known for her work with The Concretes and Peter Bjorn & John’s worldwide smash hit single ‘Young Folks’, now works under the nom de plume Taken By Trees. For her new album, Victoria wanted to avoid the usual clinical studio experience which she has always disliked and found to be an uncreative environment. The rhythm, drums and flutes of Pakistani music had long captivated Victoria and this, coupled with a deep admiration for one of her favourite singers Abida Parveen and the legendary Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, helped her choose Pakistan as the place to record.

Mon, February 15, 2010 Doors: 7:00 PM / Show: 8:00 PM $15.00 We Were Promised JetpacksMySpaceFacebookTwitterWatchMore Following closely in the footsteps of The Twilight Sad and Frightened Rabbit, We Were Promised Jetpacks are yet another hugely talented young scottish band added to the FatCat roster. The 4-piece came to our attention when listening to some of the friends on the Frightened Rabbit Myspace page. Though recent months has seen the band tour the UK with their aforementioned friends, the four preceding years have consisted of local gigs in and around Glasgow and Edinburgh, allowing WWPJ to find their sound and hone their live performance. You could loosely pin some reference points onto WWPJ; the vocals reminiscent of Morrisy or Paul Banks (Interpol), clever guitar interplay similar to something you’d hear on a Billy Mahonie track, dynamically you could compare them to Mogwai, and generally Futureheads/Hot Club De Paris/Postcard/Fire Engine are all good markers. Bad VeinsArtist WebsiteMySpaceWatchMoreBad Veins - Gold and WarmBAD VEINS | MySpace Music Videos Bad Veins are a rarity in today’s musical landscape: An act who didn’t set out to become critical darlings or the next “buzz” band, but managed to achieve both after only playing a handful of shows. However, despite the fact that Bad Veins’ music has been instantly embraced since their inception in late 2006, the duo of Benjamin Davis and Sebastien Schultz decided not to rush out the disc you’re currently holding in your hand. The result is Bad Veins, an album that’s unique but familiar, and not only lives up to the hype but surpasses it. Looking back, it’s hard to believe it all started out a little over two years ago in a non-descript attic in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Marta and her group perform a repertoire of original compositions based on a vast amount of rhythms from Latin America. On her songs, Marta mixes the joy of the Caribbean with the nostalgia of the Andes adding jazz and pop elements, taking the authenticity of South American indigenous folk music into a hip new realm. Tonight Marta celebrates the release of her fifth recording, "Musiquita". This new project reflects the steady growth of an artist who, while deepening her art, maintains her own strong identity. On "Musiquita", Marta expands her vocal vocabulary, enlarging her unique sound to include percussive vocal improvisation and soaring vocalese. Her arrangements have become more sure and years of worldwide concert touring have solidified the sound of her band.

BAM SOUNDS LIKE BROOKLYN FESTIVAL – NIGHT...

Friday, 2/5BAM SOUNDS LIKE BROOKLYN FESTIVAL – NIGHT 2 with THE PRIGS, The Woes, Kagero, Daniel Wayne<p>NIGHT 2 OF BAM’S SOUNDS LIKE BROOKLYN FESTIVAL is a real roof raiser of a night! Featuring big bands, lots of horns and crazy sounds-all played by some of Brooklyn’s best! The PRIGS, featuring members of St. Vincent, Tigercity, Kaki King, have created a world of unbridled fun. Close your eyes at a Prigs show and you might find yourself visualizing images of the E Street Band brawling with The Pogues (after too many shots of whiskey). But with eyes wide open, you’ll feel like you’re watching a Mardi Gras float detonate in an 11-piece sonic assault. While one can chart a course through the band’s many disparate influences — olde time Irish jigs, The Who, Balkan reels, Huey Lewis – what shines through to their audiences is their core message of celebration and joy.<p>THE WOES blend Delta blues, New Orleans jazz, old-fashioned country and post-modern soul into a rollicking, often raucous gumbo. Banjo, tuba, accordion, French horn, pedal steel and a Fender Rhodes electric piano float through the mix, along with an entire music store’s worth of brass and percussion and a small army of folks singing, clapping and foot-stomping.<p>“A soft rolling acid trip in soul, jazz, Americana, and Bayou Funk”-VILLAGEBROADSTREET.COM<p>KAGERO Kagero is a Japanese, gypsy rock and folk band fronted by Bedford-Stuyvesant frontman Kaz Fujimoto. See Brooklyn Paper feature HERE<p>DANIEL WAYNE Originally from Cincinnati, Ohio, Daniel Wayne now calls Brooklyn his home and is developing quite the reputation for stealing hearts and souls with his delivery of his simple, effective songs. Get the early for Dan’s set and see/hear the magic that can only come from someone living in the BK!</p></p></p></p></p> 18+ w/ ID admission: $10 door time: 830 DOORS / 9PM SHOWBUY TICKETS
