Promise Everything is the band’s full-length return to writing and recording since the break. Challenged by the spacing out of members not only across the country – but across the globe – Promise Everything was written by piecing together songs without the luxury of a space or even a time zone to share. Perhaps this is why upon listening\, Promise Everything feels like a conversation between different people\, revealing different moods and feelings throughout. This conversation shifts and evolves\, filtering subtle\, tasteful alternative rock touchstones through the band’s unmatched melodic lens. More clearly aggressive songs like “Brother’s Keeper” and title track “Promise Everything” situate Basement at the forefront of the rock world\, pairing that aggression with an inherent sense of melody. On the standout track “Aquasun\,” lyrical flow and melody overtake the listener while overt meaning gives way to musicality and its nuance. Despite years spent apart\, it would seem Basement’s musical conversation has been one that has lingered even when after it was interrupted too soon by their premature & luckily temporary break\, and as their first true cohesive document\, Promise Everything is only the beginning of what Basement has to say.

Ward returns with a stunning new album\, More Rain\, for release on Merge Records on March 4\, 2016. Ward has released a string of acclaimed solo albums over the past several years\, along with five LPs with Zooey Deschanel as She & Him and a 2009 collaborative album with My Morning Jacket’s Jim James and Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis under the moniker Monsters of Folk. In addition to his celebrated work as a musician\, Ward is an accomplished producer\, handling those duties for such luminaries as Mavis Staples\, Jenny Lewis\, and Carlos Forster as well as his own musical projects. \nM. Ward knows how to live with rain. Having spent the last decade-and-a-half based in the perennially damp Portland\, Oregon\, the singer-songwriter and producer has learned how to shine through the soggy gloom by simply embracing its inevitability. For Ward\, there is inspiration in a dark sky and harmony in foreboding winds. And with his new album More Rain\, he has made a true gotta-stay-indoors\, rainy-season record that looks upwards through the weather while reflecting on his past. \n“I think one of the biggest mysteries of America right now is this: How are we able to process unending bad news on Page One and then go about our lives the way the style section portrays us?” says Ward. “There must be a place in our brains that allows us to take a bird’s-eye view of humanity\, and I think music is good at helping people—myself included—go to that place.” \nThis album\, Ward’s eighth solo affair\, finds the artist picking up the tempo and volume a bit from his previous release\, 2012’s A Wasteland Companion. Where that record introspectively looked in from the outside\, More Rain finds Ward on the inside\, gazing out. Begun four years ago and imagined initially as a DIY doo-wop album that would feature Ward experimenting with layering his own voice\, it soon branched out in different directions\, a move that he credits largely to his collaborators here who include R.E.M.’s Peter Buck\, Neko Case\, k.d. lang\, The Secret Sisters\, and Joey Spampinato of NRBQ. The result is a collection of upbeat\, sonically ambitious yet canonically familiar songs that both propel Ward’s reach and satisfy longtime fans. \nMore Rain begins with an actual rainstorm\, then throughout the album\, guitars chime\, chug\, and riff with Ward’s unmistakable earthy tone\, while layers of atmospheric reverb and skittering drums climb and clip in equal measures. As the cloud of noise rolls in\, the layers part ever so slightly to make way for Ward’s voice\, which can play wispy and whimsical in one moment (“Pirate Dial”) or crackling and smoky in the next (“Time Won’t Wait”) just as well as it can climb to clear-sky clarity (“Confession”) then drop down to smooth\, soulful crooning (“I’m Listening”)\, each one after the other. “Girl From Conejo Valley” is a nostalgic trot through people he used to know and a place he used to be\, and “Slow Driving Man” is sweeping and lush in its orchestral climb towards confident heights. \nAs the album ends with the self-assured swing of “I’m Going Higher\,” voices join together in a chorus of rising “ah”s and\, for just a second\, it seems the storm outside has slowed\, making room for a ray of hopeful sunlight. As Ward knows\, the rainy season is sure to return\, but for now\, More Rain is here to help us with our perspective. \n*** \nPre-order More Rain on CD or LP in the Merge store. The first 750 pre-orders will received a limited edition translucent red vinyl. Pre-order the album digitally via iTunes. \nwww.mwardmusic.com\nwww.facebook.com/mwardmusic\nwww.twitter.com/mwardtweeting URL:https://royaleboston.com/event/m-ward/ LOCATION:Royale Nightclub Boston\, MA\, 279 Tremont Street\, Boston\, MA\, 02116\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://royaleboston.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/M-Ward-Ad-Mat-localized.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Bowery Boston":MAILTO:info@boweryboston.com GEO:42.3499959;-71.0656288 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Royale Nightclub Boston MA 279 Tremont Street Boston MA 02116 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=279 Tremont Street:geo:-71.0656288,42.3499959 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160507T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160507T220000 DTSTAMP:20260407T180832 CREATED:20160502T163849Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160502T163849Z UID:10002352-1462658400-1462658400@royaleboston.com SUMMARY:Cinco De Mayo DESCRIPTION:21+ \nLadies free before 11pm w/ RSVP ticket.

Across the span of her first four albums\, there is an underlying tension\, a distorted and nebulous territory where dark shadows hover along the edges of the sublime and the graceful. But until now\, Wolfe’s trials and tribulations with the boundaries between dreams and reality have only been a subconscious influence on her work. With her fifth album\, Abyss\, she deliberately confronts those boundaries and crafts a score to that realm she describes as the “hazy afterlife… an inverted thunderstorm… the dark backward… the abyss of time.” \nChelsea Wolfe’s material has always felt intensely private\, from the almost voyeuristic bedroom-production aesthetic of her debut album The Grime and the Glow to the stark themes and atmospheres of 2013’s Pain Is Beauty. “Abyss is meant to have the feeling of when you’re dreaming\, and you briefly wake up\, but then fall back asleep into the same dream\, diving quickly into your own subconscious\,” says Wolfe. To conjure this in-between world\, Wolfe continued her ongoing collaboration with multi-instrumentalist and co-writer Ben Chisholm and drummer Dylan Fujioka\, with Ezra Buchla brought on board to play viola and Mike Sullivan (Russian Circles) enlisted to contribute guitar. The ensemble traveled to Dallas\, TX to record with producer John Congleton (Swans\, St. Vincent). In the back of her mind burned the words of designer Yohji Yamamoto: “Perfection is ugly. Somewhere in the things humans make\, I want to see scars\, failure\, disorder\, distortion.” The resulting eleven songs reflect that philosophy as they smolder with human frailty\, intimacy\, quiet passion\, anxiety\, and deep longing. \nAbyss opens with the disorienting lurch of “Carrion Flowers”\, where Wolfe weaves a hypnotic vocal melody over monotonic industrial thuds\, much as an Indian raga is constructed around a lone note or swara. On “Iron Moon”\, the band pushes for extremes in its loud-quiet-loud strategy\, alternating between hushed balladry and gargantuan doom. On “Dragged Out”\, glacial-paced fuzz riffs underscore Wolfe’s sultry verses\, until a howling wail of distortion dominates the chorus. But there are certainly moments when the brutish elements are reigned in—“Maw” could serve as a lullaby and “Crazy Love” harkens back to the humble acoustic compositions of her Unknown Rooms album. But between them we have “After the Fall”\, the centerpiece of the album\, where the abrupt tonal shifts\, descending chord progressions\, and climactic vocals illustrate Wolfe’s fascination with Memories\, Dreams\, Reflections by Carl Jung. “I let myself drop\,” begins one of Jung’s recollections of his dreams. “I was so struck by that visual: the drop into the abyss of one’s own mind\, allowing yourself to feel things you’ve hidden away\, bringing them front and center. That became the goal of this album\,” says Wolfe. That surrender can be heard in the slowly escalating cacophony of “Survive”\, the penultimate square-wave hum and yearning of “Color of Blood”\, and the clamorous piano loop and disorienting arrangement of the closing title track. \n“Sleep and dream issues have followed me my whole life\,” remarks Wolfe as she revisits notes from the writing and recording sessions. In a way\, these issues have become a part of Chelsea Wolfe’s identity\, for whom the notion of sleep as an escape has been subverted. Abyss captures this dichotomy\, this battle between the soothing and the upsetting\, and demonstrates why Chelsea Wolfe has become one of the most intriguing songwriters of the decade. \n– Brian Cook\, 2015 \n*** \nA Dead Forest Index \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nLandscapes both seen and felt\, real and imagined\, lie at the heart of In All That Drifts From Summit Down\, the vast debut full-length release from nomadic duo A Dead Forest Index. Comprised of brothers Adam Sherry (vocals/guitar) and Sam Sherry (drums/piano)\, the group crafts ethereal and intensely intimate compositions that defy trends and labeling\, instead shaping an aural experience as organic as it is unpredictable. Forsaking instrumental complexity in favor of richly dense vocals and an otherwise minimal palette\, the band evokes heaviness with the atmosphere they create rather than through blunt force. Teaming-up with Sargent House on the heels of a recent European tour supporting labelmate Chelsea Wolfe\, A Dead Forest Index are poised to introduce their sound to a global audience in 2016. \nA Dead Forest Index was initially the solo project of Adam Sherry\, begun in 2008. By 2010\, it had evolved into a collaboration\, with Sam Sherry supplying percussive depth to his brother’s distinctively hymnal approach to vocals\, itself characterized by cyclical harmonies and experiments with drone. Untethered by place (or\, for that matter\, era)\, they’ve spent the past few years developing their sound\, touring extensively between 2012-2014\, and issuing the EPs “Antique” and “Cast of Lines” in the process. The latter was released by Jehnny Beth of Savages’ Pop Noire label\, a precursor to the collaborative Savages/A Dead Forest Index composition and performance titled “In What I’m Seeing; the Sun” for the Barbican’s Station to Station Festival in 2015. \nThough basing themselves periodically in locales as far-flung as Melbourne and London\, the oceanic grandeur of A Dead Forest Index’s songs suggests a spiritual mooring in their homeland of New Zealand. Their influences are rich and untapped: the poetic\, archaic ‘deep song’ of Indian and Andalusian origin\, Romanian lăutari troupe Taraf de Haidouks\, and the allegorical symbolism found in William Blake have all been cited as antecedents. The group have themselves been compared to The Velvet Underground with Nico\, Scott Walker\, Swans with Jarboe\, and Antony and the Johnsons\, to name a few. \nIn All That Drifts From Summit Down\, their debut album\, is a testimony to the sublime divinity of nature and the cold reality of time’s passage. Unfolding over 13 tracks\, the album imagines natural phenomena as poetic metaphor for the human condition\, the lyrics evoking stone\, cold air\, unyielding emptiness and erosion\, while the enveloping warmth of Adam Sherry’s layered\, choral vocals makes for an intriguing contrast. “Cast of Lines” is a prime example of this\, its rapturous “In all our currents / a fog upon the sea at night” mantra accompanied by little more than a strumming guitar. Sam Sherry’s steady rhythms propel some tracks\, like “Tide Walks” and “No Paths”. “Ringing Sidereal”\, on the other hand\, unwinds more slowly\, a dark cavern of a song with flickering sparks of percussion emerging only where necessary. Occasionally swells of noise take shape. On “In Greyness the Water”\, a slow-building churn buffers the repeating “In… fall… colour” chorus that penetrates through the cacophony like spires through fog. Savages guitarist Gemma Thompson guests on two tracks\, providing a wiry undercurrent to the brilliant postpunk stomp of “Myth Retraced”\, before fortifying the processional stride of “Sand Verse”. In All That Drifts From Summit Down is a potent\, compelling statement\, an exercise in restraint and severity whose icy hue only accentuates the warmth at its core. \nA Dead Forest Index epitomize the possibilities of the modern age. Weaving threads of disparate influence from around the world into a captivating tapestry\, the duo exemplify their own transience\, producing mature\, wholly inspired work unbound by time or place.

Refunds available at point of purchase. \n*** \n \n*** \nHinder \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nHinder’s certainly had quite the ride to arrive at this point in their careers. Their 2005 debut\, Extreme Behavior\, sold over three-million copies in the U.S.\, while its breakthrough single “Lips of an Angel” hit #1 on the Billboard Pop Chart. The record’s follow-up in 2008\, Take it to the Limit\, surpassed Gold status after debuting at #4 on the Billboard Top 200 with over 80\,000 copies sold first week. Meanwhile\, their third effort\, All American Nightmare\, dropped in 2010\, followed by Welcome To The Freakshow in 2012 . Along the way\, the band has shared the stage on national tours with everyone from Mötley Crüe and Nickelback to Aerosmith and Papa Roach. 
The multi-platinum Oklahoma City hard rockers Joe “Blower” Garvey\, Mark King\, Mike Rodden\, and Cody Hanson — entered the studio in the spring to begin recording a brand new effort which will be co-produced by Hanson and Marshal Dutton. There are no boundaries\, and every idea is going to be fair game throughout the process.
Hanson says\, “We like to think we can do anything. We don’t want to be stuck in a rut with one type of sound or formula. One song might have a country influence\, while another might have a pop influence. Then\, there are some heavy metal moments. We have every element covered on this record. You’ve got to do what’s best for the song.”
After nearly a decade\, Hinder are stronger than ever. Hanson concludes\, “This band was built around a strong core of hard work and friendship. Like it or not\, we’re going to be around for a long time.” \n*** \nLike A Storm \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nFormed by brothers Chris\, Matt & Kent Brooks\, New Zealand band Like A Storm has made huge waves in both the U.S & Europe – labeled “one of the hottest buzz bands out there right now\,” by National Rock Review. \nWith a brand new album out through Century Media/Another Century\, this year the Storm spreads to Europe and the rest of the world. \nThe band of brothers moved from Auckland\, NZ to North America knowing no one. Renowned for their explosive live show\, LAS quickly climbed the ranks\, having now toured arenas and large clubs all across the US with such heavy-weights as: Alter Bridge\, Black Stone Cherry\, Steel Panther\, Shinedown\, HellYeah & more. \nTheir connection with the crowds every night was instant – Their first album\, “The End of The Beginning\,” debuted in the Billboard Top 200 from nightly tour sales alone. \nLike A Storm’s brand new single\, “Love The Way You Hate Me” has been #1 on the biggest rock station in North America for 5 weeks. Its stateside success makes LAS the highest-charting New Zealand rock act in US radio history. \nThe track connected with listeners everywhere. When a new single typically lasts a few weeks at US radio\, “Love The Way You Hate Me” blasted for over 9 months! Outlasting singles from much more established acts. \nThe official video for “Love The Way You Hate Me”\, which features a zombie mob of actual LAS fans\, has over 2 million views on Youtube. \nThe track was inspired when someone at a truck-stop in small-town USA called one of the brothers a “freak.” Produced by the band themselves\, it’s one of the first\, if not the only\, charting single to feature the ancient Aboriginal wood instrument\, the Didgeridoo. When combined with crushing guitars and prog drumming\, “Didgeridoo Metal” was born. \nTheir brand new album\, “Awaken The Fire” is one of the first releases from Century Media imprint ANOTHER CENTURY\, and will be released all across Europe on March 16th\, 2015 \nLike A Storm will be touring all across Europe in 2015 supporting the release. \n*** \nBrad Ray \n \n[Website] [Facebook] \nGrowing up in Rome\, Georgia\, Brad began playing guitar at the age of twelve. His influences included such artists as Third Eye Band\, Prince\, White Snake and Maxwell. Having a keen sense of creativity led to his writing with a particular focus on lyrics. His writing styles range from ballad love songs to reggae and include topics as diverse as political and social commentaries as well as more personal and sensitive subjects with a mass appeal. \nWith his first album\, “So What\,” recorded at Kent Wells Studios in Nashville\, Brad showcases a collection of songs reminiscent of John Mayer\, Dave Matthews and Sublime. The album includes songs such as the title cut\, “So What\,” “Homeward Bound\,” “Crimes\,” and “Twisted.” His talents stretch to more than just the guitar\, playing banjo\, bass\, drums and keyboards. A-list studio musicians from Nashville included session leader Mike Brignardello\, Mike Rojas\, Rob McNelley and Matt Combs. \nWhile attending Temple University in Philadelphia\, Pennsylvania\, Brad began writing hundreds of songs and performed around the city before returning home to the Southeast and beginning to play locally. He currently is still writing\, performing and touring with his band\, Guest House.

For PVRIS\, a three-piece rock band from Boston\, that moment came during their conception. The trio formed in the studio while making songs for a previous project and realized that they needed to collectively eschew any preconceived idea of what music should be. “It occurred to us that we should just make whatever we want and not worry about fitting into the local scene\,” Lynn says. “Our vision was whatever we felt like doing. It was about making what we felt like making in the moment.” \nThat vision has manifested itself into PVRIS’s debut album White Noise\, which follows an acoustic EP that came out in April of 2014. The album is its own entity\, a collection of dynamic\, surging rock songs that combine the musicians’ collective influences and inspirations. The band has continually fostered an interest in electronic music and hoped to organically bring those sounds into their pop-tinged rock numbers. “We knew we wanted to go in a more electronic direction on the album\,” Lynn says. “We had that vision but we had no clue how it would actually sound. We let the music find itself.” \nWhite Noise was recorded last winter with musician Blake Harnage\, a longtime friend of the band\, in his home studio. It was Blake’s first time producing a full-length album\, but his influence became essential to the music. “Blake texted me after we signed to Rise saying he thought we could make an awesome record together and we worked it out and it was amazing\,” Lynn says. “He doesn’t have a filter. He just makes the music. He doesn’t care what people think of him or his music – he just lets his ideas flow and embraces them. He changed our perspective on writing and making music.” \nThe songs on the album are connected through the lyrics and the title\, which evokes both the supernatural and the harsh sound created by TV static and electricity. Ghosts\, often metaphorical\, populate the songs\, a haunting theme resonating throughout. Lines reappear in various tracks\, hinting back at one another and tying the album together. Each song exists as its own entity\, embracing different musical vibes\, but there is a sense of cohesiveness through White Noise. “St. Patrick\,” a propulsive rocker\, is driven by Lynn’s evocative vocals\, which soar over an electronic flourish that surges beneath the guitars. “White Noise” has a moodier quality\, its driving beats leading the way for a chorus that aches with longing\, while “My House” balances insistent\, pummeling rock sounds with melancholy reflection. Together\, the songs create a darkly tinged album that resonates with confidence. \n“There was some anxiety in the studio because we would think something sounded amazing but that no one would get it or take to it the right way\,” Lynn says. “But we got over that fear. Blake helped us find confidence in what we were making. We had to be happy with what we were making no matter what and that was the mindset we had for the rest of the process. We’re super proud of the record and how it represents us as a band.” \nPVRIS\, who has toured the U.S. several times in the past few years and played Warped Tour in the summer of 2014\, have reimagined their live set-up to reflect the album. Ultimately\, PVRIS wants to make music that is their own. Without expectation\, the musicians have songs that give something important to their audience – whatever that may be. \n“I hope people can take anything they desire away from this record\,” Lynn says. “It can be anything. We made the music because we loved it and now it can belong to everyone else.” \n*** \nLydia \n \n[Facebook] [Twitter] \nLydia is an indie rock band from Gilbert\, Arizona. Formed in 2003\, frontman Leighton Antelman along with a different array of band mates released three albums and took to the road for their first headlining tour in 2008 in support of their record Illuminate. \nAfter a brief hiatus in 2010\, the band returned in September 2011 with a new song\, and their album\, Paint it Golden\, was released shortly after in October of that same year. Lydia’s success has led them to tours such as the Zumiez Couch Tour\, Vans Warped Tour\, and The Bamboozle Festival as well as extensive headlining and supporting tours across the US\, Canada\, and the UK. \nIn March of 2013\, Lydia released Devil\, produced by Colby Wedgeworth (The Maine\, This Century)\, as a follow up to 2012’s Acoustics EP. The band toured in support of the record\, then Lydia re-released Devil in a deluxe version shortly thereafter. \nIn September of 2015\, Lydia released their latest full length Run Wild – coproduced by Aaron Marsh (of Copeland) and Colby Wedgeworth. The band embarked on a headlining run with support from Turnover\, Seahaven\, and The Technicolors. The band has earned press coverage by many reputable press sources over the years including Alternative Press\, Absolute Punk\, idobi radio\, Guitar World\, and more. Lydia’s most recent music video\, for “When It Gets Dark Out” off of Run Wild\, has been picked up by major media outlets MTV\, AXS TV\, and Yahoo Music to name a few. The band plans to continue to tour on the success of Run Wild. \nLydia is Leighton Antelman\, Matt Keller\, and Justin Camacho. \n*** \nCRUISR \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nCRUISR began in 2012 as the solo project of Andy States and quickly morphed into what it is today; an indie-pop band whose summery\, feel-good hooks are infectious and stadium ready. \nStates wrote and recorded the band’s first EP in his Philadelphia bedroom\, fixated on the idea of what it means to craft a pop song. “I have an obsession with writing pop music and the idea that songs can transcend people.\,” States says. “I saw that producer Jeremy Park started writing blog articles about how he recorded Youth Lagoon\, so I wrote to him and sent him my songs asking for advice and knowledge. He wrote back and loved my stuff and helped me produce the first EP.” \nThe six-song self-titled EP was released in the summer of 2012 and quickly garnered attention online and in the press. With all the newfound awareness Andy promptly realized he needed a band to bring his songs to the stage. “Jon was always my sounding board. I’d show him songs in the making and get his advice. It only made sense that he’d become part of CRUISR\,” Andy notes. With the addition of Kyle and Bruno the quartet set out performing whenever possible. And of course\, they continued to write. \n“The writing process definitely changed once we became a full band. I’ll work on my computer and bring the idea to Jon. By that time it’s structured and has a backbone\, guitars are figured out etc. Jon elaborates on the idea with drums and it goes from there.” In late 2013 CRUISR released a new track online\, “Kidnap Me\,” which attracted even more positive attention than the EP. Representative of CRUISR as a cohesive unit\, “Kidnap Me” was the first track written as a band and showcases what CRUISR does best; sunny\, warm\, indie-pop. “It’s funny because we’re from Philadelphia and we write songs that sound like summer\, which is a fleeting season here. I guess it’s just because Philly is where we feel happiest\, and when we’re happy we write happy music.” \nFast-forward to present day when CRUISR is gearing up to release their second EP\, All Over\, which features definitive recordings of “Kidnap Me” and “Don’t Go Alone” as well as the brand new title track “All Over”; all of which were produced and mixed by Andrew Maury (RAC\, Panama Wedding\, Ra Ra Riot). All Over demonstrates how fantastically Andy’s mind is able to translate pop hooks. “How does pop music make everyone like it so much?” States laughs\, “Little kids hear it on the radio and just go crazy\, singing stupid songs. There’s something that’s so smart about it\, and a lot of things that people don’t notice are the key ingredients to writing a pop song. I’m just really into trying to decipher what those things are and trying to make pop music in our own way.” \nAll Over will be released on September 23 via Vagrant Records. \nCRUISR is Andy States (vocals / guitar)\, Jonathan Van Dine (drums)\, Kyle Cook (bass)\, Bruno Catrambone (guitar) URL:https://royaleboston.com/event/pvris-2/ LOCATION:Royale Nightclub Boston\, MA\, 279 Tremont Street\, Boston\, MA\, 02116\, United States CATEGORIES:Concerts ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://royaleboston.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/PVRIS-admat-_NA16_Layered2.jpg ORGANIZER;CN="Bowery Boston":MAILTO:info@boweryboston.com GEO:42.3499959;-71.0656288 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Royale Nightclub Boston MA 279 Tremont Street Boston MA 02116 United States;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=279 Tremont Street:geo:-71.0656288,42.3499959 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160610T180000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160610T213000 DTSTAMP:20260407T180832 CREATED:20160327T170013Z LAST-MODIFIED:20160327T170013Z UID:10001645-1465581600-1465594200@royaleboston.com SUMMARY:PVRIS DESCRIPTION:Radio 92.9 presents \nDoors: 6:00 pm / Show: 6:30 pm \nThis event is all ages. \n*** \n \n*** \nPVRIS \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nLynn Gunn – guitar/vocals/keys\nAlex Babinski – guitar/keys\nBrian MacDonald – bass/keys \nThere is a moment where every artist decides that it is best to create music based on instinct rather than expectation.

By the early 90’s they became a driving force and inspiration behind the growing Americana movement. Combining the talents of singer-songwriters Gary Louris and Mark Olson\, The Jayhawks released their major label debut\, the acclaimed Hollywood Town Hall (1992) on the Def American label. This was followed by Tomorrow the Green Grass (1995)\, which produced the alternative radio hit single “Blue”. \nWhen Olson left to pursue a solo career\, Louris singularly took over the songwriting role in The Jayhawks creating the band’s enduring sound on some of their best selling and well-received albums including Smile (2000) and Rainy Day Music (2003). Louris continues to write and tour with the longtime core group of Marc Perlman\, Karen Grotberg\, and Tim O’Reagan. While the touring line-up has changed over the years and Olson briefly reappeared in 2010 to record and tour\, this classic lineup maintains a commitment to adventure and forward motion in their shows and in their recordings. Their latest album\, Paging Mr. Proust (2016)\, was produced in Portland with Peter Buck and Tucker Martine. \n*** \nFolk Uke \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nCathy Guthrie and Amy Nelson\, also known as Folk Uke\, have been writing and performing together for over a decade.

The sharp young newcomer started 2015 as highly touted as he now looks to be concluding it\, and with the announcement of his self-written\, self-performed\, self-recorded\, and largely self-produced debut album now readied\, that heat looks set to reach fever pitch ahead of its February release. \nDrawing the dots between significant moments\, and landmark events of this fledgling career would already become a headache – the young Buckinghamshire artist has achieved more than he has any right to\, from bringing the house down at Radio 1’s Future Festival back in January\, selling out each and every UK and US show he’s played to ever expansive rooms\, through to being crowned BBC Introducing’s Artist of the Year at their annual televised awards ceremony this December. The scrapbook is bursting and that’s just volume one. Not bad for a guy who tends to do it all by himself. Maybe the humble ‘bedroom producer’ tag needs an update. \n“It’s a bloody minefield!” grins the larger-than-life Jack Garratt\, stroking that fine ginger beard of his in contemplation. \n“I loathe the idea that if I suggest that I produce my own songs then people presume I’m sat hunched over my laptop weeping into my own self-doubt. Life is too short for all that. I opened the door to a couple of excellent producers for Phase on a couple of songs\, and it was a really exciting experience. We got a lot done.” \nTruth be told\, Jack wasn’t even sure music was a legitimate pursuit\, and was already training to become a primary school music teacher when he dropped it all for those drums sticks\, pads and keys. It’s been a move none shrewder. \nHis first release\, the limited edition Remnants EP (self-released through Bubinga Records in early 2014 and featuring the first incarnation of Phase highlight\, ‘Worry’) was an invigorating\, almost spiritual listen. It married those distinct elements of electronica with classic guitar-fronted songwriting\, finding their skeletal shape from repeat listens to Channel Orange by Frank Ocean. \n“One Christmas\, everyone kept telling me to listen to Frank Ocean\, but that only made me not want to listen to him. Eventually I did\, and holy shit\, it virtually re-shaped what I wanted to do completely.” \nConversely\, another record that refused to budge from the stereo was Jack White’s Blunderbuss. \n“I would say that Blunderbuss and Channel Orange are the primary reasons that I do what I do now. I loved the raw\, bluesy riffs and crunch of Jack White\, but also that smoothness and ambience of Channel Orange. Why should they be incompatible? They shouldn’t\, so here we are.” \nBorn and raised in a Buckinghamshire village in the South of England\, Jack’s parents were musical and he learned to play instruments early\, something he’s never really stopped doing.  His initial acoustic shows were largely open-mic\, but the vision was to take the new sound and shows somewhere else completely. Everything you hear\, both on stage and off it\, is performed by Jack. The intimacy of the blues and Jack’s scintillatingly raw vocal can be juxtaposed with a bassline that rattles the foundations of the building. He keeps you on your toes\, and your hands in the air. \nThat Jack broadly produces all his own music is testament to the influence of leftfield production. He cites Flying Lotus\, Son Lux and Jai Paul as primary examples of taking something and twisting it into something obtuse\, fresh\, and interesting. \n“Those guys are just operating on a completely different plane. I love how disarming their productions can sound.” \nJack’s second EP\, Synesthesiac (released early Summer 2015 through Island Records)\, was indeed a quantum leap on from Remnants. The Love You’re Given\, which features here on Phase\, is a smouldering\, tranquil beauty that explodes in a haze of colour like a firework. Chemical\, another track that dazzles on the record\, is a gnarly beast that tangles multi-tracked handclaps with a beats-laden dancefloor-hookline. You couldn’t place it\, but you knew it was destined for far bigger venues\, which indeed Jack is already making light work of. \nA first single\, Weathered (one of the many ‘moments’ that pepper the live set)\, and the current second single Breathe Life\, show Jack confidently laying out his cards on the table. They are huge\, infectious pieces of work\, the sound of a young musician finding his feet and showing his strengths. They are songs that sit neatly on the radio playlists\, and songs with an innate sense to impress. Phase is a record that is\, indeed\, littered with them\, without any need to truly compromise what sparked all the initial interest. The propulsive Fire\, and the torchlight anthem in waiting\, Surprise Yourself\, are merely two of the handful of songs here that are yet to be documented in those impressive live shows. \nHaving sold-out a UK tour this Autumn\, which included a very special night at Shepherds Bush Empire\, and the recent announcement of a headline show at London’s Brixton Academy for April 2016\, this is an incredibly impressive feat for a young artist with only a handful of songs out there in the internet ether. You suspect it must\, therefore\, feel pretty good to be Jack Garratt right now. \n“At the moment every day brings something new\, something exciting. It’s blowing my mind. I really love it.” \n*** \nContact \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nBoston\, Massachusetts.

It isn’t a checklist or a plan so much as a setting down of shared dreams for their musical careers. “We wrote it to say that we’re dependent on one another\,” explains Josephine. “That there are things we want to achieve\, and we can help each other get there.” \nThat Oh Wonder have achieved all of these dreams in the first year since starting the project is testament to their talent and their perseverance\, but even they seem a little startled by how much more they have attained: the 100 million streams and now their debut album\, a collection of 15 impeccably-crafted songs that explore London and loneliness\, love and the need for human relationships. \nJosephine was a classically-trained solo performer and Anthony a singer and producer whose lives and careers overlapped for several years — a run of near-encounters and half-conversations at gigs and venues\, and vague introductions through musical acquaintances and mutual friends. It was only when they finally sat down in Anthony’s former studio in north London with a view to producing an EP of Josephine‘s solo material that they realised their great musical bond. “We found all our favourite bands were the same bands\, all our favourite songs were the same songs\,” says Anthony. “It was a day of saying ‘Oh you should listen to this’. And then the other one saying ‘I know that song. That’s one of my favourite songs.’” “It was\,” adds Josephine “really\, really odd. I’ve never had that. I’ve never felt that closely aligned with someone\, musically speaking\, and more widely in terms of how we view the world.” \nIt was Anthony’s suggestion that they begin writing together — purely for fun at first\, as an exercise in songwriting and collaboration while they pursued their other musical projects. The first song they wrote was called Body Gold and was\, Josephine says\, “the marker for what the sound of Oh Wonder was: electronic and somewhat R’n’B\, which was totally surprising\, and totally different to our solo work\, but we were really proud of it.” \nStill\, for 18 months they did nothing with it. Anthony moved to London and released an EP as part of a duo\, Josephine was busy writing and recording as Layla. “But we thought it was a waste to leave Body Gold unheard\,” says Anthony. And so they decided to post it on the internet\, anonymously. \nThat day they went to a café in east London\, posted the song on SoundCloud and emailed a few of their favourite music blogs about it. “We were in this café\,” Josephine remembers\, “and we were looking at the play-count\, and I think it said six plays\, and then all of a sudden these blogs started posting the song — really lovely write-ups saying ‘Who the hell are these people? They’re about to blow up the internet.’” They sat in the café and watched the play count climb to 100. A few weeks later it had reached 100\,000 plays. Just over a year later and they have tens of millions of plays and a string of sold out headline shows across the UK\, Europe\, Australia and the USA. “It was just really\, really bizarre. And odd. And completely accidental\,” she says. “We didn’t tell anyone it was us\, we didn’t ask people to listen\, we didn’t tell our friends\, it was so far removed from us. But I genuinely think that the reason so many people connected with it was because it was really sincere.” \nThe plan from the start was to release a song a month\, for the course of a year. “We approached it as a songwriting project rather than an artist project\,” continues Anthony. “And so the most important thing of all is the song and we would never release what we consider to be a bad song.” \nThey had already written two other tracks: Shark and All We Do — a track Josephine finds most affecting. “It’s about the human propensity to play it safe and not push yourself beyond the parameters of normal life\,” she says. “It’s about just existing and not wondering or being inquisitive. It’s about how a lot of people sink into the monotony of everyday life. And how it’s a shame\, because the world’s there for the taking\, and you’ve got to go grab it and have an adventure.” \nTheir own adventure soon gathered pace. They found they could write quickly\, finishing the body of a song in 20 minutes or so and spending more time\, they say\, on the production. “Writing together is a weird magical thing\,” says Josephine. “More than anybody else in the world I trust Ant. Which makes the writing process totally open\, totally vulnerable and non-judgmental\, and means you can say all of these things openly in a song.” \nThe things they chose to say all possess a striking tenderness and a tangible passion for life\, ranging from exquisite break-up songs Drive\, Landslide and The Rain to quiet rallies against materialism\, gambling\, gentrification and globalization\, and\, in Lose It\, a song that serves as a tribute to a night out they once had in Melbourne\, where as the sun came up\, Josephine found herself at a party dancing in her underwear to Destiny’s Child. “I’ve never before felt what I felt that night\,” she says. “I didn’t take any drugs\, and I wasn’t even drunk\, there was just something heady in the air. It was the first time I’d ever felt untethered from myself.” \nThough they vary from piano-led ballads to whip-sharp electronica\, what unites all of Oh Wonder’s songs is their extraordinary sense of humanity. “We didn’t realise it at first\, but a lot of our songs are about relationships and support\,” says Josephine. Anthony points to album opener Livewire\, “which is about needing someone to lift you up\, someone who can bring you up from your lowest point\, bring you back to life\, be the heartbeat you need…” and to White Blood\, about times in life\, in illness or difficulty\, when you “really need someone with you”\, and to Heart Hope\, inspired by watching the area around their home in east London rapidly gentrify\, and feeling that for all the shiny new buildings\, what people really need is other people\, “it’s saying actually all you need is a heart and a soul and to be connected to yourself and to each other.” \n“They’re songs about humans\, and about people being there in your life\,” says Josephine. “People need people. And that’s what this album looks at\, from all the different angles: it’s about being grateful for the people in your life\, for relationships of all sorts.” \nPerhaps most of all\, this album is Anthony and Josephine’s tribute to each other\, to the partnership they have formed\, the places it has taken them and the confidence they have given one another. \nJosephine tells a story that perhaps best sums up the depth of the belief they have in one another — the bond\, the trust\, and the faith they have in their own music: “I used to have lots of jobs\,” she says. “I worked in Waterstones\, and waiting tables\, and Ant was the person who told me to give them up. He told me to call up my boss and say “Sorry I can’t work at Waterstones anymore\, I’m being a musician.” He said “we’re going to do this. And that was the same day we wrote that sign.” \n*** \nLANY \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nInitially harvested entirely behind a Windows computer during what industry veterans have comically–‐referenced as the most–‐productive handful of months by a new artist\, this genre–‐bending band is prepping a busy 1st quarter of touring in 2016 in what is destined to be the year LANY becomes a household name. Born in a Nashville bedroom\, LANY (pronounced LAY–‐NEE)\, comprised of Paul\, Les and Jake\, are a trio that started as a group of friends looking to combine their unique skills to “see what happens.” LANY had initial unprecedented success on Soundcloud’s platform which was enough to get Soundcloud’s internal cloud of executives to partner with the new artist\, and impactful social platforms like Snapchat have been avid supporters – LANY played their Holiday party this past December. \nMasochists in love with an underwritten theme of hopeless romance\, LANY front man Paul opens on debut cuts like “Walk Away\,” “youarefire” and “ILYSB\,” with vocals that are glacial while engaging\, and draw you into their heartbreak manifesto; and a vibe reminiscent of the 80s on tracks like “Made In Hollywood” and “4EVER!” LANY makes it clear that lethal good looks and vocal prowess are not mutually exclusive\, and even guys with all of the above get their hearts broken. \nSince their initial experiment to get feedback on what was just an idea little over a year ago\, LANY has released 2 EP’s to their dedicated and rapidly growing fan base. Often utilizing the success trends within the millennial landscape\, LANY has zeroed in on a gap in the music business that aches for a sound like theirs. \nIn 2015 LANY wrapped tours with Halsey\, Tove Styrke\, Zella Day\, Twin Shadow and X Ambassadors. They played Lollapalooza and Sloss Festival in the summer and ended the year with a headline run on the Westcoast. As for 2016\, in February they play Summit Series in Utah and perform 12 shows with Troye Sivan in North America; in March they play 11 Arena shows with Ellie Goulding in the UK; and then they go on to play Squamish and Shaky Knees Festivals.
