In the UK\, the record became the “Biggest New Artist Album Release” that year and has been certified Gold in the United States\, Germany\, Australia\, Switzerland\, platinum in Canada\, Ireland\, Netherlands\, Sweden\, double platinum in the UK and has sold nearly 3.5 million albums in global consumption\, and 2.7 billion streams worldwide.

It never went away and I hope it never does\,” he says. \nBorn in Chicago and raised in Atlanta\, David was drawn to the blues after hearing songs by Son House\, Robert Johnson and others. Growing up at a time when Prince\, Parliament-Funkadelic\, Stevie Wonder and other musicians were stretching the boundaries of popular music\, he began to understand that music could not and should not be limited by our often narrow views of what it should be. \nIn 1991\, David co-founded Follow For Now\, a band that combined all of the influences that had been shaping his musical vision: Bad Brains meets Stevie Wonder and Public Enemy in Memphis. While the band had a short life\, it was David’s launching pad\, as it allowed him to taste the fruits of such a strange mess of musical ingredients. He signed to Columbia Records in 1997\, released a self-titled record and began to spread his wings as an artist\, writer and producer. In 2000\, he signed to Elektra with the band Brand New Immortals. Shortly after releasing an album\, the label folded and the band followed suit. \nToday\, David Ryan Harris calls Los Angeles home\, but is internationally recognized for playing guitar and singing in John Mayer’s band from 2004-2012. He has also had the pleasure of writing with\, playing with and/or producing artists from Dave Matthews\, Cassandra Wilson\, Derek Trucks\, Santana\, Marc Broussard\, and Guy Sebastian. Most recently\, he produced and co-wrote six songs on Indie.Arie’s album\, Songversation. \nSince his major label days\, David has independently released many singles and solo albums\, including the wildly popular 2007 LP\, The Bittersweet. On October 23\, 2015\, he released his fourth full-length album\, Lightyears\, which includes co-writes with Derek Trucks\, Susan Tedeschi\, Tyler Lyle and Joe Gil among others. The LP also features guest appearances by John Mayer\, Indie.Arie and Nikka Costa. “Lightyears is me sending up a flare into the darkness from where I live\,” says David. It’s a soulful look into my life. My past and how it informs my present. My sense of hope\, my sense of humor.” URL:https://royaleboston.com/event/james-bay/ 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/2018/02/James-Bay-admat-2018-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:20180407T193000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180407T193000 DTSTAMP:20260406T160014 CREATED:20171005T175131Z LAST-MODIFIED:20171005T175131Z UID:10002562-1523129400-1523129400@royaleboston.com SUMMARY:Suicide Girls: Blackheart Burlesque DESCRIPTION:SUICIDEGIRLS IS BRINGING THE SEXIEST SHOW ON THE PLANET TO BOSTON! \nThe SuicideGirls: Blackheart Burlesque is unlike any other burlesque act you’ve ever seen\, filled with pop culture references\, a high energy indie soundtrack and the sexiest choreographed strip tease that will make your inner nerd explode with glee.

He’s highly opinionated\, exceptionally well read and articulate on subjects ranging from politics to alien conspiracies to American history to his beloved Chicago Blackhawks/Bulls/White Sox/Bears. He is an avid follower of NASA scientist David S. McKay\, ancient civilizations scholar Zecharia Sitchin\, astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson\, and Scottish writer/archaeologist/scientist Graham Hancock. During a layover at the Las Vegas airport this past summer\, Jourgensen spotted U.S. Congressman Adam Schiff\, introduced himself\, and took full advantage of the encounter to let the Congressman know of his views on tax reform and the possible perils of redistribution of wealth\, the current obstruction of the “Russia-gate” investigation by the House Intelligence Committee lead by Republican Chair Devin Nunes\, and to inquire about the status of the possible impeachment of the President\, on not only obstruction and collusion charges\, but for treason. \nYou see\, Al Jourgensen is angry\, really angry about what’s going on in America – sexual abuse and the disrespect of women in our society\, the waning respect for the U.S. Constitution\, the growing acceptance of one’s opinions replacing facts\, the decline of the our leaders’ sense of morals\, ethics and personal responsibility to the country and to their constituents\, and the mad man in the White House. Yeah\, Al is angry\, and that takes us straight to Ministry’s upcoming album AmeriKKKant. \nBefore all of that\, the industrial machine that is Ministry has manufactured immense amounts of sound during its 30+ years of musical artistry. Initially coming into existence in 1981\, Ministry was to be the lifetime passion project of front runner and founder Al Jourgensen. Often associated with ideas and imagery that are easily recognized today\, in part because of Jourgensen’s insanely dreaded hair\, pitch black attire\, vampiric glasses\, and exquisite top hat\, the band has become incredibly symbolic. But like any creature cursed with the gift of creativity\, “Uncle Al” has shed his skin several times over the decades. The development of Ministry and all of Al Jourgensen projects has been purely organic\, which is a huge reason why the masses following his projects are so vast. \nOften referred to as one of the founders of Industrial Music\, the true outlook of Ministry as well as Jourgensen’s other projects\, is far more fluid than just one specific genre. Surgical Meth Machine\, Revolting Cocks\, and anything Al “Fucking” Jourgensen has produced all explore different realms of sound and thought. \n In the year 1981 in Chicago Illinois\, Ministry was initially born. With an original line up of Al Jourgensen doing lead vocals\, guitar\, programming and overall production\, Stephen George on drums\, Robert Roberts on keyboards and backing vocals\, and John Davis also on keyboards and backing vocals. New sounds were constantly being developed in the 80’s especially as technology improved. At first the band had a very catchy\, synth-pop sound. They began by releasing four 12” singles on Wax Track! Records starting in 1981\, and released their first LP “With Sympathy” in 1983 via Arista Records. \nAs time progressed however\, so did Ministry\, and they quickly developed a harsher\, and even more stylized industrial sound that they soon became infamous for. In the mid to late 80’s the band gained a progressively greater following as it released albums Twitch (1986)\, The Land of Rape and Honey (1988)\, and The Mind Is A Terrible Thing To Taste (1989). The darker\, heavier sound that Ministry had developed into was often a direct reflection upon modern concepts\, society\, and politics. It was also during this time that Al Jourgensen himself reached one of his many peaks of creativity and branched off into what would be one of his many side-projects: Revolting Cocks. He also began producing a vast amount of other music by artists similar to his realm in one way or another such as Nivek Ogre/Skinny Puppy\, The Reverend Horton Heat\, Nine Inch Nails\, Smashing Pumpkins\, Cheap Trick and Red Hot Chili Peppers. With the release of Psalm 69: The Way to Succeed and The Way to Suck Eggs (1992)\, Ministry hit an all time high in the mainstream musical realm and even received a Grammy nomination. Filth Pig was released in 1994 and by then Ministry had not only grown a solid fanbase\, but a solid reputation as well. \nFamous for a hellaciously unique talent and sound\, pure heinous insanity while on tour\, and endless energy filled performances at countless festivals\, Ministry had developed a cult following and would go on to release several more records throughout the years before eventually taking a hiatus. On December 23rd\, 2012 then guitarist Mike Scaccia suffered a heart attack and passed away. It was not long after this that Jourgensen took what was to be an indefinite leave from doing anything Ministry related as he could not bare to continue without Scaccia. It wasn’t until recently that Jourgensen decided that if the circumstances were right\, he would consider reawakening Ministry to release something new to the world. \nNow\, in 2017 Ministry has reunited\, revamped its line-up\, signed to Nuclear Blast Records\, recently returned from a full world tour\, and is now preparing to release their 14th studio album\, AmeriKKKant\, on March 9th 2018. Society and Politics have taken a turn for the insane and frightening in the United States and across the globe\, leaving much inspiration and frustration for Ministry to draw from. Jourgensen remembers his shock while witnessing everyone and everything around him during the recent election process\, and awoke on the morning of November 9th 2016 proclaiming: “We are making a fuckin’ album – right now.” \nAmeriKKKant\, like all Ministry projects\, is an organic reflection of not just the band’s talent and sounds\, but of the society in which we all live and breathe. Jourgensen says “I’ve spoken my piece on the societal conditions that would elect such a blithering idiot. It’s not an anti-Trump album\, it’s like a- ‘did you pay attention in School? Does anybody have any intellectual curiosity anymore?’- album. [It’s] basically just holding up a mirror to ourselves and saying: ‘Look at this\, is this what you really want to be?’” \nWith a new line up\, incredibly full sound\, and some might say a return to the roots of Ministry\, the band is prepared to release a record that is socially relevant and sonically effective. Fans can look forward to a hearty future for not just Ministry\, but Surgical Meth Machine\, and Revolting Cocks as well. There is simply too much insanity in this world for Jourgensen not to speak his mind and keep our senses alive with his vast array of decibels and visuals: “I’m afraid for the stupidity of not embracing nonsense. I think nonsense is a great escape from the rigors of being in life’s hamster wheel.” \n*** \nChelsea Wolfe \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n“What I want is to open up. I want to know what’s inside me. I want everybody to open up. I’m like an imbecile with a can opener in his hand\, wondering where to begin—to open up the earth. I know that underneath the mess everything is marvelous. I’m sure of it.”\n– Henry Miller \nDigging beneath the mess of the world to find the beauty underneath is perhaps the most consistent theme in Chelsea Wolfe’s expansive discography—a theme that ties together her ceaseless explorations in unorthodox textures\, haunting melodies\, and mining the grandeur embedded within ugliness and pain. With her sixth official album Hiss Spun\, Wolfe adopts Miller’s quest to become empowered by embracing the mess of the self\, to control the tumult of the soul in hopes of reigning in the chaos of the world around us. “I wanted to write some sort of escapist music; songs that were just about being in your body\, and getting free\,” Wolfe says of the album before extrapolating on the broader scope of her new collection of songs. “You’re just bombarded with constant bad news\, people getting fucked over and killed for shitty reasons or for no reason at all\, and it seems like the world has been in tears for months\, and then you remember it’s been fucked for a long time\, it’s been fucked since the beginning. It’s overwhelming and I have to write about it.” \nHiss Spun was recorded by Kurt Ballou in Salem\, Massachusetts at the tail end of winter 2017 against a backdrop of deathly quiet snow-blanketed streets and the hissing radiators of warm interiors. While past albums operated on the intimacy of stripped-down folk music (The Grime and the Glow\, Unknown Rooms)\, or the throbbing pulse of supplemental electronics (Pain Is Beauty\, Abyss)\, Wolfe’s latest offering wrings its exquisiteness out of a palette of groaning bass\, pounding drums\, and crunching distortion. It’s an album that inadvertently drew part of its aura from the cold white of the New England winter\, though the flesh-and-bone of the material was culled from upheavals in Wolfe’s personal life\, and coming to terms with years of vulnerability\, anger\, self-destruction\, and dark family history. Aside from adding low-end heft with gratuitous slabs of fuzz bass\, longtime collaborator Ben Chisholm contributed harrowing swaths of sound collages from sources surrounding the artist and her band in recent years—the rumble of street construction at a tour stop in Prague\, the howl of a coyote outside Wolfe’s rural house in California\, the scrape of machinery on the floor of a warehouse at a down-and-out friend’s workplace. Music is rendered out of dissonance—bomb blasts from the Enola Gay\, the shriek of primates\, the fluttering pages of a Walt Whitman book are manipulated and seamlessly integrated into the feral and forlorn songs of Hiss Spun. \nThe album opens with the sickening bang of “Spun”\, where a lurching bottom-heavy riff provided by Chisholm and Troy Van Leeuwen (Queens of the Stone Age\, Failure) serves as a foundation to a sultry mantra of fever-dream longing and desire. The first third of Hiss Spun—whether it’s the ominous twang and cataclysmic dynamics of “16 Psyche”\, the icy keyboard lines\, restless pulse and harrowing bellows of Aaron Turner (Old Man Gloom\, SUMAC) on “Vex”\, or the patient repetition and devastating choruses of “The Culling—all carry the weight of desperation\, lost love\, and withdrawal. Wolfe’s introspection and existential dread turns outwards to the crumbling world around us with “Particle Flux”\, an examination of the casualties of war set against an aural sea of static. White noise is a constant thread through Hiss Spun\, with Wolfe finding solace in the knowledge that radio static is the sound of the universe expanding outwards from the Big Bang—a reminder that even dissonance has ties to creation. The electronic thump of “Offering” serves as an ode to the Salton Sea and the encroaching calamities stemming from climate change. The obsession with white noise and global destruction carries over into “Static Hum”\, where the merciless percussive battery of Wolfe’s former bandmate and current drummer Jess Gowrie helps deliver the dire weight of a sonnet dedicated to a “burning planet.” By the time the album closes with “Scrape”\, Wolfe has come full circle and turned her examinations back inward\, reflecting over her own mortality with arguably the most commanding vocal performance in her entire oeuvre. \n“The album is cyclical\, like me and my moods\,” Wolfe says of Hiss Spun. “Cycles\, obsession\, spinning\, centrifugal force—all with gut feelings as the center of the self.” And it’s an album that Wolfe sees as a kind of exorcism. “I’m at odds with myself… I got tired of trying to disappear. The record became very personal in that way. I wanted to open up more\, but also create my own reality.” Every Chelsea Wolfe album is cathartic\, but never before has both the artist and her audience so desperately needed this kind of emotional purging. Sargent House is proud to release Hiss Spun to the world on September 22nd\, 2017. \n– Brian Cook\, 2017 \n*** \nThe God Bombs \n \nWebsite\nFacebook \nJustin Symbol has joined forces with Edrick Subervi and Jabbath Roa to form The God Bombs. On debut EP ‘Hex’ (March 2018) the trio forges a bold new sound that combines elements of electronic\, alternative metal\, hip hop and punk. Industrial beats collide with haunting analog synths and 90s alt rock attitude to create a compelling soundtrack for the new Dark Age.

No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. \n*** \nThe Darkness \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n2003 gave birth to one of the most extraordinary and best loved rock bands. The Darkness released their debut album Permission To Land to overnight success\, topping the UK charts\, going 5x Platinum and selling over 1.5 milion copies in the UK alone. It spawned a series of hit singles including “I Believe In A Thing Called Love\,” “Growing On Me\,” “Get Your Hands Off My Woman” and “Love Is Only A Feeling.” The album clocked up a series of awards including three BRIT Awards\, two Kerrang Awards and an Ivor Novello for Songwriters Of The Year\, amongst many others. \nThe Darkness played a number of landmark shows\, including a headline set at the 2004 Reading and Leeds Festivals\, as part of a whirlwind career of global touring as international sensations. The band then built upon the success of their debut with their 2005 follow up One Way Ticket To Hell… And Back\, which produced the Top 10 hit “One Way Ticket.” \nIn 2006 Justin Hawkins left the band\, checking into rehab and The Darkness fell apart. Following successful treatment\, the band reformed in 2011 touring Europe and South America in 2012 with Lady Gaga. The band released their comeback album Hot Cakes that year and Last Of Our Kind in 2015. \nIn 2016 “I Believe In A Thing Called Love” was featured in a wildly popular Apple Music commercial starring Taylor Swift. \nThe Darkness have now returned in 2017 with Pinewood Smile\, delivering some of the most sharp-witted\, infectious\, humorous and downright brilliant songs of their career.\nAhead of the album’s announcement\, The Darkness toured Europe in support of Guns N’ Roses. \nAddressing Pinewood Smile and The Darkness’ undoubted relevance in 2017\, Justin Hawkins asks\, somewhat rhetorically of the world at large\, “Why should anybody care? Because if you don’t\, we’re fucked!! History will remember us as the apathetic generation who negligently ushered in a dreadful dystopian age that may or may not come to be known as The Rise of the Arseclowns. We cannot allow this to continue! You may not give a shit about Brexit or Trump\, but PLEASE… give a shit about The Darkness otherwise the last bastion of cultural sensibility will fall and our airwaves will be polluted by meaningless pop purveyed by arseholes and morons… Oh wait!” \n*** \nDiarrhea Planet \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nThe gravitational pull of Diarrhea Planet is strong; once you get caught in the orbit of its stadium-sized riffs and blistering solos\, it’s hard to escape. The Nashville six-piece has been melting faces since its debut 7” Aloha first started making waves outside the leafy campus of Belmont University\, where its members first met. What started as a dorm room dick joke between two friends bored by the music-business ladder-climbing of their classmates has grown into one of the biggest—and loudest—rock acts to come out of Nashville since their big bros and labelmates in JEFF The Brotherhood. As they toured the country behind their critically acclaimed 2013 LP I’m Rich Beyond Your Wildest Dreams\, the likes of Billboard\, Rolling Stone\, SPIN\, and even BuzzFeed have taken notice. Ignore them at your own peril. \nOn their latest LP for Infinity Cat Recordings\, Turn to Gold\, the Planet boys worked with Vance Powell\, the Grammy-winning engineer and Jack White confidant. Powell used his expertise in recording live sound to capture some of the energy of the Diarrhea Planet live experience—they tracked the main guitar and drum tracks live\, in the same room\, for a record that’s both massive and frenetic. It’s easily the most sophisticated and complex music they’ve ever made\, but still carries the joyous irreverence that minted thousands of RAWK fans across the country. \nThe band’s rhythm section\, which features drummer Ian Bush (a.k.a. Tuff Gus) and bassist Mike Boyle\, is the bedrock on which the foundation is built\, but what makes Diarrhea Planet explode is the raw power of its four guitars. Not one note is wasted\, and each ax slinger plays a role; Jordan Smith writes soaring power pop singalong hooks; Brent Toler brings a classic rock sensibility and chunky\, fuzzy riffs; Emmett Miller’s wields classical training and a wizard-like five-finger pick-less technique for mind-bending\, finger-tapping solos; and Evan Bird is the glue that holds them all together\, capable of playing any part (or instrument) as needed. \nDiarrhea Planet is a nationally touring band\, playing a punishing schedule of more than 200 shows a year. But they cut their teeth in the clubs and house shows of the Nashville DIY scene\, built by the likes of JEFF\, Heavy Cream\, Natural Child\, Pujol\, and shaped in legendary spaces like the old police precinct that would come to be known as Glenn Danzig’s House. As they’ve graduated from living rooms to clubs to festivals\, the energy has remained constant—just ask the ladies in the mosh pit or the crowdsurfing dads you’re sure to find at any Diarrhea Planet show. They’re carrying the torch for the past\, present and future of rock\, and you’d be wise to take notice—everyone else sure has.

Please note: box office is cash only. \n*** \n \n*** \nMinus the Bear \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nOver the course of their 15-year career\, Minus the Bear have carved out their own unique musical world. This isn’t to say they’re impervious to outside influence. They’ve borrowed components from a wide swath of genres—the brainy clangor of New York’s proto-punk scene\, the cerebral buzz of IDM\, the poptimist evaluation of hip-hop and R&B\, and the grandiose visions of prog rock—but always managed to defy classification. Throughout the first decade of their existence\, every new album offered a new musical approach\, as seen in the idiosyncratic fretboard gymnastics of Highly Refined Pirates\, the glitchy loops of Menos el Oso\, or the modernized Fripp-inspired wizardry of Planet of Ice. By the time the band entered our current decade\, their knack for reinvention yielded to an emphasis on refinement. Albums like OMNI and Infinity Overhead searched for a middle ground where their myriad of stylistic approaches could all work within the context of a single record. \nOn their sixth album VOIDS\, Minus the Bear started with a blank slate\, and inadvertently found themselves applying the same starting-from-scratch strategies that fueled their initial creative process. “There was a lot of change and uncertainty\,” says guitarist David Knudson. “I think the general vibe of emptiness\, replacement\, lacking\, and longing to fill in the gaps was very present in everyones’ minds.” Change was everywhere. Keyboardist/vocalist Alex Rose took on a more prominent role in composition and handled lead vocal duties on songs like “Call the Cops\,” “Tame Beasts\,” and “Robotic Heart\,” drummer Kiefer Matthias joined the fold\, producer Sam Bell lent a fresh set of ears in the studio\, and the band returned to their original label home at Suicide Squeeze Records. Minus the Bear were no longer swept along by the momentum that had driven them for the last fifteen years. Instead\, they reached a point where they could recalibrate and redefine who they were as a musical entity. The resulting album VOIDS retains many of the band’s signature qualities—the hedonistic tales of nighttime escapism and candid vignettes of adulthood\, the savvy up-tempo beats\, the layered and nuanced instrumentation—while simultaneously reminding us of the musical wanderlust that initially put them on the map. \nAlbum opener “Last Kiss” immediately establishes the band’s renewed fervor. An appropriately dizzying guitar line plunges into a propulsive groove before the chorus unfolds into a multi-tiered pop chorus. From there the album flows into “Give & Take”\, a tightly wound exercise in syncopation that recalls the celebratory pulse of early Bear classics like “Fine + 2 Pts” while exploring new textures and timbres. “Invisible” is arguably the catchiest song of the band’s career\, with Jake Snider’s vocal melodies and Knudson’s imaginative guitar work battling for the strongest hooks. “What About the Boat?” reminds us of the “math-rock” tag that followed the band in their early years\, with understated instrumentation disguising an odd-time beat. “Erase\,” recalls the merging of forlorn indie pop and electronica that the band dabbled with on their early EPs\, but demonstrates the Bear’s ongoing melodic sophistication and tonal exploration. By the time the band reaches album closer “Lighthouse\,” they’ve traversed so much sonic territory that the only appropriate tactic left at their disposal is a climactic crescendo\, driven at its peak by Cory Murchy’s thunderous bass. Not since Planet of Ice’s “Lotus” has the Bear achieved such an epic finale. All in all\, it’s an album that reminds us of everything that made us fall in love with Minus the Bear in the first place\, and a big part of that appeal is the sense that the band is heading into uncharted territories. \nSuicide Squeeze Records is proud to release VOIDS to the world on March 3\, 2017 on CD\, LP\, and cassette. Nick Steinhardt designed the artwork and layout for all formats. The first pressing of the album is available on 5\,000 copies of splatter colored vinyl and 5\,000 copies of 180 gram black vinyl. The LP jacket features PMS inks\, a die-cut cover with a printed inner sleeve and contains a download code. The cassette version is limited to 500 copies and includes a download code as well. \n*** \nThe Coathangers \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nAn all-female garage punk band with an irreverent\, fun-loving attitude\, the Coathangers play purposefully simple\, hooky tunes that borrow from vintage girl group sounds and contemporary teen pop acts as much as the old-school punk and new wave outfits that inform their sound. Hailing from Atlanta\, Georgia\, the Coathangers were formed in 2006 by guitarist and singer Julia Kugel (aka Crook Kid Coathanger)\, bassist and singer Meredith Franco (aka Minnie Coathanger)\, keyboardist and singer Candice Jones (aka Bebe Coathanger)\, and drummer and singer Stephanie Luke (aka Rusty Coathanger) — Kugel and Franco were working together in a dress shop that specialized in wedding gowns and prom dresses; Jones and Luke were earning their living as bartenders. While they could barely play their instruments\, they were eager to take the stage\, and after playing their first show at a house party\, the Coathangers soon made their proper stage debut opening for the Hiss\, and their sense of fun soon won over hometown audiences. \nThey also became friends with fellow Atlanta band the Black Lips\, who gave the Coathangers opening slots that helped them gain an even larger audience. In 2007\, infamous Atlanta punk label Die Slaughterhaus Records teamed up with New York’s Rob’s House Records to issue the band’s self-titled debut album\, and the Coathangers were playing out as often as their schedules would permit\, frequently gigging throughout Georgia and venturing out on short tours. Their second album\, 2009’s Scramble\, was released by Suicide Squeeze Records\, and by the time they put out 2011’s Larceny & Old Lace\, they were playing throughout the country and even toured Europe opening for the Thermals. In 2013\, the Coathangers hit Europe again opening for …And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead\, but by the end of the year\, they were reduced to a trio when Candice Jones left the group. Undaunted\, the Coathangers pressed on as a three-piece as they recorded album number four\, Suck My Shirt\, which was released in the spring of 2014. In 2016\, the Coathangers returned with their fifth album\, the well-received Nosebleed Weekend. The Parasite EP followed in the summer of 2017 on Suicide Squeeze Records. ~ Mark Deming\, Rovi URL:https://royaleboston.com/event/minus-the-bear-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/2018/01/minus-the-bear-admat-2018.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:20180425T190000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180425T190000 DTSTAMP:20260406T160014 CREATED:20180204T150026Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180204T150026Z UID:10002603-1524682800-1524682800@royaleboston.com SUMMARY:Kate Nash DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over.

They’re why we build cities\, create art\, and pursue love. \nIn 2013\, teenage siblings from Southern California\, ECHOSMITH\, brought a lifelong dream to fruition with the release of their debut album Talking Dreams. As soon as they could hold instruments\, they began playing music together as kids. They traded the living room for Farmers Markets and open mic nights\, while quietly honing their songwriting chops. Those chops were on full-display in the breakout single “Cool Kids\,” which became a runaway success. Supporting Talking Dreams\, they performed around the globe and enchanted audiences everywhere. As those adventures unfolded\, they grew up\, both as people and musicians\, and that growth shines through their 2017 sophomore album\, Inside A Dream [Warner Bros. Records]. \n“We describe our new album as dreamy pop\,” explains frontwoman Sydney. “These songs explore different aspects of our lives—love\, adventure\, heartache\, and living out our dreams. On our first record\, we were simply dreaming of the future\, and we’re inside of that dream now. We’ve lived so much life in a short period of time. I was 15 when we recorded Talking Dreams\, and now I’m 20. This amazing journey of connecting with fans and different cultures all over the world completely changed our lives.” \nDriven by Sydney Sierota\, Noah Sierota [bass\, percussion\, backing vocals]\, Graham Sierota [drums]\, and Jamie Sierota [guitar]\, Talking Dreams earned a prestigious RIAA gold certification\, yielding the double-platinum breakout smash “Cool Kids\,” which notched a quarter-of-a-billion Spotify streams\, and the platinum-certified “Bright.” They took over radio airwaves and performed across television everywhere from Ellen to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon twice. Meanwhile\, tastemaker praise came courtesy of Elle\, Rolling Stone\, Nylon\, and more. Simultaneously\, Sydney stood out as a positive cultural force\, whether acting as a brand ambassador for Coach\, designing a line for Hollister\, or dueting on stage with Taylor Swift. \nAlong the way\, the band faced a major change together. After bringing their dream to life\, co-founder\, guitarist\, and big brother Jamie left ECHOSMITH\, transitioning focus to his wife and newborn baby. \n“We had to come to grips with the fact that Jamie left the band\, so we had to find ourselves as a trio instead of a quartet\,” admits Noah. “The process helped us recognize what we really wanted to do musically.” \n“At that point\, we never had another musician on stage with us\,” says the frontwoman. “That literally forced us on a journey of having to discover this sound. We still had electric guitars\, but they weren’t the center of the music anymore. The keyboards\, pads\, percussion\, and vocals became the focal point. We began recording and writing constantly at the same time. We wanted to write as honestly as possible. There were no narratives; it was all life experiences and truth.” \nIn order to bring that vision to life\, the group utilized vintage synths\, keys\, and drum machines\, carefully emphasizing each detail and “making sure we loved every single note and sound.” As a result\, Inside A Dream is awash in shimmering synths\, airy guitars\, and heavenly vocals. Its eleven anthems wouldn’t be out of place blasting from an eighties transistor radio during an episode Stranger Things or booming across massive North American festival grounds as the sun sets for a headline gig. \n“Inside a dream is the culmination of a year-and-a-half of tirelessly working to define who we are\,” continues Noah. “We not only grew as musicians but as people. The stories we’ve told on this album are our stories that we’re living right now.” \nNoah’s finger-picked acoustic guitar on “Goodbye” entwines with Sydney’s breathy delivery before bouncing into a danceable refrain colored by island-style keys and heavy bass. It also represents another evolution. \n“This song was written out of pure frustration with another person who couldn’t make up his mind\,” reveals Sydney. “That indecision was affecting us\, so the message is\, ‘Good luck finding yourself. Goodbye. I have to move on with my life regardless of your opinion.’ It’s a bit darker for us\, but I think a lot of people can relate to that.” \nCo-written with an old family friend Leah Haywood\, opener “Get Into My Car” gleefully nods to new wave influences like The Cure and Joy Division with its cinematic lyricism\, shiny keyboards\, and lush refrain\, “Get into my car. Get into my life. Get into my heart. You know what I like.” \n“It talks about how sometimes you have negative voices in your head\, but then you find that person who makes them go away\,” she says. “That’s totally happening in my relationship.” \nFor “Crazy Love\,” they teamed up with a longtime inspiration\, OneRepublic’s Ryan Tedder\, to make a love song about “what it feels like to be in the crazy exciting love where you get to dance together and do things you see in the movies.” \nThe arena-size drums of “Future Me” propel the equivalent of the grade school exercise of writing a letter to your future self. “Everyone Cries” tackles the craziness of the world head-on.\nAt the heart of the record\, ECHOSMITH cling to the message that drove them from the start which is their mission statement “to spread hope and love through music to the whole world.” \n“Music is one of the few things that can unite people\,” concludes Noah. “We hope that’s something we can be a part of.” \n“We’ve really gotten to understand the depth of that mission statement\,” Sydney leaves off. “We were so blessed for ‘Cool Kids’ to blow up and see the world. We got to realize the depth of spreading love\, how important it actually is\, and the lack of love in the world. Our message has stayed the same\, but we understand it more. We go deeper. Life is hard\, but you can find the joy no matter what. That’s what we’re here to show people.” \nIn the end\, Inside A Dream has the power to motivate millions to follow their own dreams as ECHOSMITH did. \n*** \nThe Score \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n*** \nJena Rose \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter URL:https://royaleboston.com/event/echosmith/ 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/2017/07/echosmith.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:20180427T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180427T220000 DTSTAMP:20260406T160014 CREATED:20180316T140051Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180316T140051Z UID:10002622-1524866400-1524866400@royaleboston.com SUMMARY:Sofa King Fridays w/ Zomboy DESCRIPTION:21+ \nCall or text 617.733.0505 for VIP Table Reservations.

On Multi-Love\, Unknown Mortal Orchestra frontman and multi-instrumentalist Ruban Nielson reflects on relationships: airy\, humid longing\, loss\, the geometry of desire that occurs when three people align. Where Nielson addressed the pain of being alone on II\, Multi-Love takes on the complications of being together. \nMulti-Love adds dimensions to the band’s already kaleidoscopic approach\, with Nielson exploring a newfound appreciation for synthesizers. The new songs channel with the spirit of psych innovators without ignoring the last 40 years of music\, forming a flowing\, cohesive whole that reflects restless creativity. Cosmic escapes and disco rhythms speak to developing new vocabulary\, while Nielson’s vocals reach powerful new heights. “It felt good to be rebelling against the typical view of what an artists is today\, a curator\,” he says. “It’s more about being someone who makes things happen in concrete ways. Building old synthesizers and bringing them back to life\, creating sounds that aren’t quite like anyone else’s. I think that’s much more subversive.” \nWhile legions of artists show fidelity to the roots of psychedelia\, Unknown Mortal Orchestra shares the rare quality that makes the genre’s touchstones so vital\, constant exploration \n***\nMakeness \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nIt’s the contrasts which stand out in Makeness’ (aka Kyle Molleson) music. Crafting tracks which make a virtue of disparate influences\, Kyle manages to pull off something difficult: making tirelessly-crafted songs which sound loose-limbed and to-the-point. He comes from a Leeds-born scene which\, counting Adult Jazz and Glad Hand amongst its numbers\, haven’t pegged themselves to one musical discipline. That network of like-minded friends\, and the restless ethos cultivated between them\, continues to shape the music Kyle makes on his own. \nHis debut album\, Loud Patterns\, is the fullest example of this yet. On the one hand\, it’s noticeably indebted to house and techno; there are 4/4 rhythms\, and a no-nonsense directness which nods to the likes of Omar-S and Theo Parrish. On the other hand\, those dancefloor structures are a vehicle for a wider spectrum of sounds. Channeling avant-garde experimentalism and an outsider’s interest in pop\, he embraces the distance between those two poles. \nSpending his earliest years on a remote island in Scotland’s Outer Hebrides\, he was surrounded by Highlands folk music and his dad’s bagpipe bands. Later moving to Dorset\, he spent the majority of his time growing up in England’s South West. It was there that Kyle started a band with some school friends\, which – with a manager and recording sessions in London under their belt – made it halfway to recording an album. \nBut it was in Leeds where he made his most important connections. Moving there for university\, his school friend and regular collaborator Tom Howe had also moved to nearby York. Finding himself in a flat with Harry Burgess\, he was the link between that pair – making a connection that would soon become Adult Jazz. Meanwhile\, he helped to form Glad Hand (then-called Fun Adults) with friends-of-friends drawn from the same circle. \nAt this point\, Kyle’s interests in guitar and folk music started to expand outward. He discovered the music of Caribou\, whose 2013 ‘Swim’ charted a trajectory similar to the one he was following; the sweet spot it found – between left-of-centre pop and club-minded music – struck a chord with the different spheres Kyle was increasingly drawn to himself. At the same time\, Flying Lotus’ output was another big eye-opener; his music\, as well as Teebs and other signees to the Brainfeeder stable\, pointed to psychedelic\, unconventional possibilities for building rhythms. \nCosmic Slop\, an underground institution in Leeds\, was another touchstone. Based on the fringe of the city centre\, it’s a community-oriented party that was started to raise money for their education charity. It boasts a hand-built\, peerless sound system\, a near-pitch black dance floor and a music policy that ranges from Dilla instrumentals to Detroit house. He recalls\, “That place was definitely an awakening in terms of dance music.” \nThe student enclaves of Headingley and Hyde Park\, where he and almost all his friends were based\, was an area that lent itself to being creative. Populated by never-ending terraces of cheap student houses\, the close-quarters living made for easygoing connections and rehearsals. Plus\, the house parties that constantly took place – in the area’s plentiful supply of scuzzy basements – meant opportunities to playing for rowdy\, appreciative crowds. \nEach summer\, he would return to the Outer Hebrides with his extended band mates in tow. His dad built his own studio there\, so they would make the journey to all spend a couple of weeks writing and recording. It became an important hub\, with both Adult Jazz and Glad Hand releasing debut albums from sessions that took place there. \nHaving moved to London in 2015\, which is when he started working on his solo material\, the studio still remains an important finishing-stop for his music. He returned to the Highlands to put the finishing touches to Loud Patterns. Putting the album through the studio’s mixing desk\, he also spent time tinkering with the finer details. “They’ve just got lots of old\, broken bits of gear\,” he says. “At one point\, we had two car batteries and we were holding it up to get the spring reverb to work.” \nThe music on the album\, written and recorded with this record in mind\, manages to deftly flit between his different interests. Coarse\, discordant squeels repeatedly pierce the opening title track\, softened by the chorus’ sweetly-sung vocals. Elsewhere\, ‘Who Am I To Follow Love’ sketches a goofy-pop aesthetic – with wobbly synth-notes and clattering percussion – as backdrop for endearing vocal harmonies. And in ‘Rough Moss’\, there’s a proper\, face-melting club banger. With driving\, non-stop drums and a squirming bassline\, it’s the bedrock for cacophonies of noise: distorted\, strummed guitar chords\, laser-beam synths and blasts of hiss. \nThe album arrives after a series of releases that have established his particular\, in-between approach to dance-minded music. He put out two EPs on Manchester-based imprint Handsome Dad\, a one-off single with Adult Jazz\, the self-released ‘Temple Works’ EP and a limited-edition white label for Nic Tasker’s much-feted Whities imprint. The album is set to come via Secretly Canadian\, a longstanding giant of independent music. Their genre-spanning output is the perfect home for Kyle’s difficult-to-define approach.

The album received widespread critical applause\, with Entertainment Weekly acclaiming Fallon as “a first-rate songwriter with a dozen tunes that wax philosophical about love and the human condition – the dude’s like a modern day Nietzsche with a sleeve tattoo.” “Painkillers suggests (Fallon) really was holding his best songs back\,” noted MOJO while Kerrang! declared it “a straight-up fantastic return to Brian’s rock ‘n’ roll roots.” “(Fallon’s) version of the American Dream is tied not to anything abstract or political\, but to songwriters like Bruce Springsteen\, Tom Petty\, and Roy Orbison\,” wrote Consequence of Sound\, “and in some ways Fallon’s version is even more effective than those of his forebears.” “It feels a little like a new morning\,” raved Rolling Stone. “For a guy whose songs have always traded in the pains and pleasures of nostalgia\, the Fallon of Painkillers seems to have arrived at a newfound\, forward-looking clarity.”\nBrian Fallon will release a new solo album in 2018 on Island Records. \n*** \nCaitlin Rose \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nNashville’s own\, Caitlin Rose doesn’t like to categorize her music\, but what she creates is beyond easy classification. Her lyrics – visceral\, illustrative\, witty\, and wry – paired with timeless and tireless melody\, easily put her in a category alongside some of the most revered songwriters of our time. “The Stand-In” released in 2013 on ATO records seamlessly melds pedal steel guitar with restless pop beats\, creating lush instrumentals that build on the more spare construction of its precursor\, “Own Side Now” (2010\, ATO Records). Both albums have received praises from the likes of The Guardian for Rose’s undeniable strong suit\, her talent for storytelling through song. “For me the intention behind any song is writing a good one\,” Rose says “and to create something worthy enough to share with other people” Rose’s songs\, however\, are way beyond worthy. They’re downright necessary. She’ll be hitting the road in 2018 in advance of her forthcoming album\, slated for a mid-year release via ATO Records.

Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Please note: bags or backpacks larger than a purse are prohibited. \nTHIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT! \n*** \n \n*** \nTom Misch \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n“Apparently\, I have a sound\, and people can hear it\,” Tom Misch claims modestly. For someone with a cohesive and sprawling body of mellow beats behind him\, he seems mildly bewildered that this is the case. “I try so many genres that it’s hard sometimes to pinpoint. I guess my sound is uplifting\, soulful\, funky — and happy more than it is sad.” It’s a perfect description of his debut album\, due in 2018\, which brings together low-slung hip-hop beats\, glittering disco\, and noodling jazz instrumentation in a way only Misch can. \nIf Misch seems surprised\, it’s because his fanbase has developed naturally. He never set out with any grand plan when he began making beats\, and uploading roughly three tracks a week to Soundcloud at 16. “I prefer a more organic approach to making music\, but also to building a fanbase\,” he reflects. “I don’t want a big push on my music as I don’t want to be as big as possible.” And yet\, he’s rapidly become one of the U.K.’s most exciting emerging new artists\, gaining 1.1 million monthly listeners on Spotify and playing a sold-out tour of the U.K.\, U.S. and Europe in 2016. Collaborating with a clutch of fellow trailblazers like Novelist\, Loyle Carner\, and Zak Abel\, he’s accumulated a total of 75 million streams across all platforms to date — and it all started in his bedroom. \nMisch’s earliest introduction to music came via his artistic family\, including his psychiatrist father\, a passionate violinist\, who would take him to concerts and the opera as a child. He sang in a choir at school\, and picked up the violin himself at the age of four. When one of his older sisters took up guitar and later abandoned it\, nine-year-old Misch inherited the instrument\, and taught himself to play Red Hot Chilli Peppers and Nirvana songs. Today\, he also plays bass\, banjo\, and a smattering of keys. \nIt was one of his sister’s boyfriends who introduced him to the music of J Dilla at 15\, and from then on\, Misch was hooked. He took up Music Technology at school the following year\, and began learning how to create his own “really chilled out\, boom-bap kind of ‘90s hip-hop” on Logic Pro. “When I wasn’t at school\, I’d be making beats\,” he says. “It was just what I did.” As he began sharing his tunes on Soundcloud\, he found the response was overwhelming. “You put songs out and you build a fanbase — it’s kind of addictive.” \nA collaboration with his sister Laura\, on the jazz-inflected “Follow\,” was a major turning point for both siblings after it was uploaded to influencer YouTube channel Majestic Casual. The track features Laura on sax and Tom on beats and vocals\, intertwined to mesmeric effect. “That was the point where I was like\, okay\, maybe I could do this as a career\,” Misch reflects. “Suddenly it had 100\,000 plays.” Shortly afterward\, Soulection co-founder Joe Kay commented on one of Misch’s productions on Soundcloud\, asking the teenage prodigy to guest on his radio show. \nSoon afterward\, in 2014\, Misch contributed to Soulection’s White Label series\, weaving together obscure jazz samples\, guitar\, and vocals to create the perfect summer listen (including the dreamy fan favourite “The Journey”). His Beat Tape series collected the best of his hip-hop instrumentals\, the 5 Day Mischon project featured collaborations with grime MC Novelist and singer-songwriter Zak Abel\, and his 2016 Reverie EP brought the official release of Misch’s most sophisticated songs to date. As well as soulful singers Carmody and Jordan Rakei\, he struck up a collaborative relationship with fellow south Londoner Loyle Carner\, whose mellow bars flow over Misch’s productions like a breeze on a hot day. \nBoth artists form part of the much-hyped scene of singer-songwriters emerging from south east London\, including King Krule and Cosmo Pyke. Each has a DIY mindset and a brooding\, poetic approach to lyricism that weaves them loosely together. “There’s definitely a certain sound\,” reflects Misch. “Everyone’s music in south London is really chilled. It reflects the vibe of this part of London — it’s laid back.” \nMisch has lived in south London all his life\, and he loves it so much that his new single\, “South of the River\,” is dedicated to it. “I much prefer the general vibe of south London\,” he says. “I love this area\, Peckham\, Dulwich\, Forest Hill. Singing that line — You should come south of the river — it just felt really good.” With its string arrangements mirroring disco synth stabs and a funky bassline\, it’s an irresistible bop that nods clearly to Misch’s danceable new direction. \nOne of the biggest influences on Misch’s sound has long been jazz. With a degree in jazz guitar\, Misch is an avid listener of Robert Glasper\, Roy Hargrove\, Cory Henry\, and jazz-influenced songwriters like D’Angelo and Erykah Badu. “It’s kind of a warm feeling\, when you hear a certain chord progression\,” he explains. \nIn the making of his debut album\, he’s also been drawing on inspiration from disco\, house\, and techno\, discovered through the portal of producers like Kaytranada and Motor City Drum Ensemble. The euphoric feel of 1970s and ‘80s disco (think Earth Wind and Fire or Gwen McCrae)\, and the thump of nightclubs like Fabric or Corsica\, inspired him to bring more movement into his songs. “I want people to dance at my live shows\, I want to bring more energy\,” he says. “When you’re in a club and you can feel the bass…I want people to have that experience.” \n*** \nGabriel Garzón Montano \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nOn his debut LP\, Jardín\, Gabriel Garzón-Montano sings of the struggles and uncertainties of the many-layered game that is America today\, from the specific doubt and double consciousness of the first-generation hustle\, to the universal challenges of love\, legacy\, and exploring the maze of one’s own mind. A child of immigrant parents – a child of Brooklyn\, NY – Garzón-Montano’s aesthetic is an extension of his French-Colombian heritage\, a pastiche of Bach sonatas\, cumbia records\, and the machine gun funk that echoes to this day from behind half-rolled tints up and down Nostrand Ave. His mother\, a member of the Philip Glass ensemble in the 1990’s\, instilled within him a painstaking attention to detail that remains a hallmark of his process. “My mother is the reason I love music\,” he says. Her rigorous classical instruction served as his creative engine as he honed his skills over the course of years in the lab\, copping Stevie’s changes\, studying Prince’s lyrics\, and absorbing the beat theses of Timbaland\, Dilla\, and Pete Rock. \nJardín comes on the heels of three intense years of touring\, writing and recording. Soon after the 2014 release of his debut EP\, Bishouné: Alma del Huila\, Gabriel was invited out on the road by rock legend Lenny Kravitz\, as direct support on 23 concerts across Europe. The day after playing Wembley Arena\, he received a call notifying him that his song “6 8″ would be sampled by Drake on his full-length If You’re Reading This\, It’s Too Late. The months following these cosigns Garzón-Montano was featured at Bonnaroo\, Lollapalooza\, and Austin City Limits\, and on back-to-back tours with English indie-rockers Glass Animals and Stones Throw label mate Mayer Hawthorne. \nIn 2016\, he returned to Waterfront Studios in Hudson\, NY\, to record Jardín with his mentor\, analog guru Henry Hirsch. A capable multi-instrumentalist\, Gabriel tracked drums\, bass\, guitar\, piano\, and synthesizers direct to 2” tape\, adding percussion\, digital programming\, and several layers of his own vocals to create a lush sonic environment that recalls a contemporary\, streetwise Journey Through the Secret Life of Plants. “I wanted to make music that would remind people how beautiful life is – how delicate their hearts are\,” says Garzón-Montano. “A garden is full of life\, and growth\, and beauty. I named the album Jardín hoping for it to create a space for healing when people put it on. I’ve always wanted to make music that is healing\, comforting\, and funky.” This intention is\, perhaps\, what has always attracted listeners to his music. Fans of Bishouné will find familiar ground in the organic sounds and impressionist narratives of Jardín: the Moog-heavy “Fruitflies” reads as a lyrical epilogue to “Keep on Running\,” while “The Game” brings the folkloric percussion of “Me Alone” home from Cartagena to Crown Heights. The enduring choruses of “Sour Mango\,” “Crawl\,” and “My Balloon” exhibit a melodic and compositional craftsmanship reminiscent of the fan favorite “Everything is Everything\,” confirming Garzón-Montano’s innate pop sensibilities\, and his indisputable knack for fusing a wide range of classic influences and cutting-edge ideas to create a sound all his own.

First conceptualized as a freak-folk solo act by Frances Quinlan\, it progressed towards a fuller sound with the addition of Mark Quinlan on drums\, Tyler Long on bass and Joe Reinhart (Algernon Cadwallader\, Dogs on Acid) on guitar. Emerging as one of music’s most unique songwriters\, the captivating vignettes Frances has weaved tell vivid stories of desperation and weary awakening. Her powerful voice is a spellbinding entity all it’s own\, celebratory and raw\, and one that can’t be shaken away. \nTheir new album\, Painted Shut\, (out on May 5\, 2015 via Saddle Creek) is their 2nd full-length (preceded by Get Disowned in 2012). However\, this release marks their first time creating as a full-formed entity\, arranging everything as a group. It was co-produced\, recorded and mixed by John Agnello (Kurt Vile\, Dinosaur Jr.\, Sonic Youth\, etc.) in the great cities of Philadelphia and Brooklyn\, and incidentally finished in the shortest span of time the band has ever made anything. \nLike their debut\, Painted Shut is a series of accounts\, a procession of fleeting and repeating characters. However\, it diverges from its predecessor in its close-up\, controlled approach (most of the album features the band recording live)\, and more focused portraiture. Whereas Get Disowned calls forth a dreamy collage of protagonists in a tone that’s often anthemic and surreal\, Painted Shut is a grounded\, less merciful image of many struggling adults (and children) in a severe landscape. \nOften depicted in Painted Shut are the two lives of legendary (though generally unknown) musicians\, Buddy Bolden and Jackson C. Frank\, who were plagued with mental illness until their penniless deaths. Included are accounts of more everyday poverty\, abuse\, greed; and banal\, sub-par behavior. Society is unveiled as a structure that\, in reality\, was most certainly not built with everyone in mind. Clearly this is difficult subject matter. Yet the songs themselves move unencumbered and easily\, forming angular pop anti-anthems\, at times jubilant as well as irreverent. Somehow\, they are not sad songs. There is joy\, in the abandon of Frances’ unforgettable voice\, in the exulting choruses. One wakes to a sky that is a bright\, ageless blue. It’s morning and so clear outside that multitudes of lives can be seen\, in focus despite the distance. All of this is viewed through a window sealed with cracked paint that cannot be opened on either side. That is how we must often view the lives of others\, especially when it comes to people who have lived and gone from this world. That’s another story. \n***\nSaintseneca \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nAt the intriguing intersection of metaphysics and rock and roll\, you will find the new Saintseneca album Such Things. While the thematic concerns of the record address the very nature of human consciousness\, the decidedly hook-centric sound serves as a delightfully visceral counterpoint\, infusing the band’s unique melding of folk\, punk and epic rock with a very earthly sense of groove. At its core\, Such Things is entirely accessible and undeniably powerful\, unquestionably Saintseneca’s most cohesive\, catchy output\, and a work that cements the band’s singer songwriter Zac Little’s status as one of modern indie music’s most thoughtful and talented artists. \nBolstering the more streamlined “pop” compositions is a raucous and fuzzed out sonic palette that beautifully accentuates the record’s power of engagement.“When we were getting ready to record with Mike (Mogis of Bright Eyes)\, I told him I wanted the songs to be filtered through sixties psychedelic pop\,” Little explains. “Not like a throwback record\, because I didn’t write those type of songs. What we wanted were modern songs that sounded like a band had gone back in time to record them.” \nSince its origin in 2007 as an teenage bluegrass outfit in Appalachian Ohio\, then its growth to a large\, multi-instrumental live rock and folk collective whose onstage experiments would find their way to tape on 2011’s Last\, and then the more traditional approach of writing and recording in making Dark Arc\, Saintseneca has largely been Little’s machine. A meticulous\, tireless craftsman\, he began writing for Such Things by demoing songs composed of anywhere from two to one-hundred-and-fifty tracks\, which he then shared with his bandmates to serve as reference points for their own invented parts. \n“Even though it might seem like this singular vision\, at the core my creative strategy for the band is one that inherently involves other people. I think the best work I’ll make involves working that way. Ultimately\, by involving other people that are really talented and that I admire\, we’ll come up with something that will transcend what any individual would be capable of. To me that’s the ultimate creative goal; to have that element of spontaneity and the culmination of multiple minds.” URL:https://royaleboston.com/event/hop-along/ 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/2018/01/Hop-Along-admat-2018.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:20180504T210000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180504T210000 DTSTAMP:20260406T160014 CREATED:20180329T040131Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180329T040131Z UID:10001907-1525467600-1525467600@royaleboston.com SUMMARY:Neo Soul Presents: AfterJourney+BooM Huang The DMOB 2018 "West To West" US Tour DESCRIPTION:18+ \nDoors at 8pm.

Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Please note: bags or backpacks larger than a purse are prohibited.\nTickets on sale Fri. 2/9 at 10AM! \nTickets available at AXS.COM\, or by phone at 855-482-2090. No service charge on tickets purchased in person at The Sinclair Box Office Wednesdays-Saturdays 12-7PM. \nAlbum Bundle: Every pair of online tickets purchased for the 2018 tour includes a standard physical CD copy of the forthcoming Marian Hill album. Instructions on how to redeem your copy will be sent via email on release day (yet to be determined). \nPLUS1: Marian Hill has partnered with PLUS1 so that $1 from every ticket goes to support Planned Parenthood\, the ACLU and the NRDC. \n*** \n \n*** \nMarian Hill \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nAct One\, the debut full-length from songwriting duo Marian Hill\, was written and produced in its entirety by Jeremy Lloyd (music/lyrics/production) and Samantha Gongol (music/lyrics/vocals). The multi-talented duo\, who have been collaborating in one form or another since high school\, have shifted the classic paradigm of a woman on a stage and a man with a piano to a woman on a mic and a man with a laptop — and the results are seductive and vivid. Tempting paradox with a blend of blues and bass\, acoustic and digital\, classic and modern\, Marian Hill have arrived. \nTwo years ago Sam and Jeremy wrote and recorded “Whisky” over spring break in Jeremy’s parents’ basement. When they released it for free on SoundCloud later that summer it was the only song they’d written for the project\, and in a little over a year’s time they had recorded their first EP in a bedroom\, amassed millions of plays on various platforms\, sold out shows across the country and featured in high profile commercials. They signed to Republic Records in early 2015\, released the Sway EP\, and settled in to write and record their debut album over the course of the following year with a plan to push their unique sound to its fullest potential. \nFor the first 50 seconds of “Down” you might think you’re at a supper club in the 1920s\, but when the bass drops out of nowhere you couldn’t be anywhere but 2016. Act One then takes you on a journey through the complexities of modern relationships\, with each song inhabiting a specific and charged relationship lyrically\, melodically\, and sonically. “I Know Why” constantly transforms and reinvents itself as the vocals grapple with a secret while “Mistaken” is the hardest of sax trap with a classic songwriting backbone. “Same Thing” is the saddest part of the album\, a haunting ballad depicting serene resignation of a doomed relationship\, but castanets rise from the ashes as “I Want You” closes out the night in a pure moment of optimistic electricity\, a glance across a crowded room that changes everything. \nMarian Hill’s one of a kind sound is present throughout — blues harmonies blend with sparse hip hop drums\, horns blast under classic vocal melodies\, and soloistic vocal chops sit side by side with clear\, intimate lyrics. You’ve never heard this before\, yet it’s surprisingly familiar. And it’s only the beginning. \n*** \nMichl \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter URL:https://royaleboston.com/event/marian-hill-3/ 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/2018/02/Marian-ADMAT-2018.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:20180512T220000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20180512T220000 DTSTAMP:20260406T160014 CREATED:20180501T180014Z LAST-MODIFIED:20180501T180014Z UID:10002635-1526162400-1526162400@royaleboston.com SUMMARY:The Last Hoorah ft DJRM\, Case\, & Azurely DESCRIPTION:Summer is just around the corner & graduation is almost here!
