SUMMARY:The Dear Hunter
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. 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. 9/15 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. \n*** \n \n*** \nThe Dear Hunter \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nIt’s been almost a decade since Casey Crescenzo brought The Dear Hunter — both the band and the character of the same name — to life with his 2006 debut full-length\, Act I: The Lake South\, The River North. Although it was evident from his stint as singer of The Receiving End Of Sirens\, the record revealed Crescenzo’s incredibly inventive and ambitious musical flair\, something which has been evolving ever since. The two albums which followed — 2007’s Act II: The Meaning Of\, And All Things Regarding Ms. Leading and 2009’s Act III: Life And Death — cemented the now 32 year-old as a maverick\, idiosyncratic talent whose music\, while fitting a modern aesthetic\, was also from a bygone era. \nAnachronistic and timeless in equal measure\, the narrative of The Dear Hunter existed in both the past and the present\, its detailed plot standing simultaneously as an age-old and new age fable. As that tale progressed\, so did Crescenzo’s art\, his experimental compositions blurring the line between different genres to create a sound that was — and still is — unique to the band. But then\, halfway through the six envisioned Acts of the Dear Hunter narrative\, Crescenzo’s attentions shifted. Between 2010 and 2011\, the band recorded a series of nine four-track EPs known as The Color Spectrum. Later released as a single volume edition\, each EP was a musical interpretation of a color from the visible spectrum\, showcasing the increasingly far-reaching ambitions for Crescenzo’s musical vision and his inventive interpretation of the world around him. Two years later\, the more mellow and straightforward fifth full-length Migrant showcased a different side to the songwriter’s talents\, and last year he composed and recorded his first symphony Amour & Attrition. With such a storied musical repertoire\, its clear Crescenzo is no ordinary musician. \nNow\, six years and two albums after The Dear Hunter released Act III: Life And Death\, Crescenzo has returned to the narrative of the anti-hero who shares the band’s name\, applying all of the knowledge and experience of the last ten years to this new chapter. Picking up where the story left off — with the eponymous protagonist assuming the identity of his late brother and returning home — Act IV: Rebirth In Reprise is an album that explores the complex notions of who and what we are\, and which attempts to answer its own questions through the wanderings and wonderings of the album’s protagonist. Yet as the plot and the music weave their way through these fifteen songs\, it’s clear that they transcend the boundaries of the Dear Hunter story. This is as much about a return in real life as it is the fictional story. \n“Revisiting something that was six years removed from my life\,” explains Crescenzo\, “and going back to doing these records was actually a suggestion of my manager and friend Mike Marquis. We got talking about the title of the record and it really just made sense\, both within this story — which is about this character returning to a familiar place as a different person — but also in terms of the music\, which was returning to a familiar place as a different person for myself. So it was the perfect middle ground of describing conceptually\, and as far as the plot goes\, a story\, but also a very perfect paralleling between my personal life and the story of the record — that revitalization and rejuvenating that comes from revisiting something with a newfound perspective.” \nThe result is the band’s most orchestral and multi-layered set of songs to date. Both nuanced and euphoric — sometimes at the same time — their very essence breathes life back into a story that has been on pause for over half a decade\, reigniting the lives of the characters with heart and aplomb. That’s something Crescenzo insists could only have happened by taking a break from the world with The Color Spectrum and Migrant. The distance that making those records afforded Crescenzo means that of all the albums The Dear Hunter has made\, Act IV’s soundtrack to its main character’s physical and philosophical journey is also the closest Crescenzo has come to realizing the true musical vision inside his head. \n“I was trying to do it on Act I\, Act II and Act III\,” he says with a slight sigh of fake exasperation\, “but I could never get to the point where I was just in a room with an orchestra playing these parts\, because I didn’t know how to do it. It was this thing that I always wanted to incorporate into what I did before\, I always wanted this and I was always upset that I didn’t get it. This time\, I could apply this knowledge that I actually possess into this music. It was one of the most exciting experiences of my life because the orchestra is such an integral part of that album from start to finish\, as far as weaving in and out of the music and gluing it all together.” \nThat’s certainly an understatement. Aside from a couple of brief pauses\, Act IV is almost one continuous piece of music. Whether it’s the gracefully powerful lilt of “At The End Of The Earth”\, the frantic\, almost King Crimson-esque 9 minute epic surge of “A Night On The Town” or the angular guitars of “King Of Swords (Reversed)” — which Crescenzo says drew inspiration from unlikely sources such as ELO\, Talking Heads and Michael Jackson — it all creates a sense of dramatic momentum to parallel all the physical and metaphysical action that takes place across this record’s ambitious 64 minutes. Initially written and recorded at Crescenzo’s self-built studio in Port Angeles\, Washington (where he now lives) with the rest of the band\, once their parts were done\, Crescenzo then set about finishing the rest of it himself. \n“I tracked most of my guitar and then I finished writing the scores for the orchestra\, so before I even got in to doing vocals\, my girlfriend\, my dog and I drove down to California and tracked the orchestra.” \nPlayed by the community-based Awesöme Orchestra collective at Berkeley’s Fantasy Studios\, it means the album truly is the culmination of everything that preceded it. As such\, even though it’s part of a fictional narrative\, it doubles up as the band’s most autobiographical album to date. That might seem like a paradoxical concept\, but to listen to Crescenzo explain it\, and it makes perfect sense. As Crescenzo points out\, “There were always these big pillars of the story that I wanted to tell as far as broad strokes. It’s always had Point A and Point B on a grand scale\, but I like to grow as a human being\, a songwriter\, a lyricist\, and I didn’t want to bind myself to the outlook and my feelings and my personal headspace at 22\, when I started writing this\, knowing that it would be years and years and years before I’d ever get to the sixth part. I didn’t want to control the creativity of the 32 year-old me at 22. I left a lot of wiggle room so I could pull on the new experiences I’d have as an adult and through the years it would take to finish it. So a lot of the detail is told from the last six years of my life going into Act IV.” \nAs such\, the personal growth that Crescenzo experienced in his own life shaped those moments. For a start\, he wanted the band — completed by Nick Crescenzo (drums\, percussion)\, Robert Parr (guitar\, keyboards)\, Nick Sollecito (bass)\, Maxwell Tousseau (guitar\, keyboards) and Andrew Brown (keyboards) — to have more input into the development of the songs. Secondly\, he found his attitude towards the people who initially inspired the characters had changed over time — and so had the characters as a result. \n“Looking back on the way that it started\,” Crescenzo remembers\, “the story was rooted in such an intensely bitter place I was able to demonize whoever I wanted through the fiction of it. What’s really interesting is that\, just by coincidence\, in this story and in these characters who have been somewhat demonized in my mind relating to real life people\, there are these moments somewhat of redemption for these characters. It was like I knew I wasn’t going to want to make that record until I was in a personal place where I had sort of gotten past the initial bitterness and the grudge I’m incapable of not holding. If I had written it all as younger man\, I think it would have been bitterness from the beginning to the end\, and there would have been no room for my growth or the growth of whatever character I’m putting in there.” \nThere are still two more Acts planned\, as well as a graphic novel in the works\, but for now\, the life of the Dear Hunter — both the character and the band — is fully consumed by this newest part of the story. It’s been a long time in the waiting\, but that’s precisely why the pieces have all fallen so perfectly into place. “Honestly\,” Crescenzo chuckles\, “just the act of making this record after so long\, and making the record I said I was going to make and not damning the younger version of me to having lied\, is very cathartic. And when it was done\, I had no idea what to do with myself. All of a sudden\, I was finished with this thing I didn’t even know if I would get to. I was blindsided by the finality of it.” \nOne listen\, and you probably will be\, too. \n*** \nThe Family Crest \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n“Everything we’ve done over the past five years has been leading up to this\,” reflects Liam McCormick. “We’ve been working on this project for almost the entire time we’ve been a band.”  \nMcCormick\, the frontman and songwriter of The Family Crest\, is referring to the band’s upcoming release\, an EP titled Prelude to War. Remaining tight-lipped about the EPs relationship to a mysterious “broader project” that’s been mentioned of late\, he grins and says\, “Our listeners have been waiting so patiently for new music. Let’s just say that what we’re planning should make up for the wait and keep them satiated for quite a while.” \nThe brainchild of McCormick\, The Family Crest was started as a recording project in 2009 with co-founder John Seeterlin (bass). The pair set out to reinvent how music could be created. “We always liked making music with people — getting a bunch of people together and singing. So we put ads everywhere\,” says McCormick. “We posted on Craigslist and emailed old friends from school.” The outcome was greater than the original duo imagined\, with 80 people credited on the first recording the band produced. From that a band emerged\, at the urging of the guest musicians\, who wanted to hear the songs performed live. “We’ve worked with a lot of conservatory students as well as people who just sing in the shower\,” McCormick adds. “It became a lot about giving these people a chance to express themselves without being locked into a commitment.” \nThe band evolved into a seven-piece core with over 400 “Extended Family” members who have contributed to the music. With the 2014 release of Beneath the Brine\, The Family Crest skyrocketed into mainstream awareness\, with critics at Paste Magazine\, Spin and NPR raving\, “there’s a decent chance you’re about to discover your favorite new band.” For nearly two years\, The Family Crest toured in support of Beneath The Brine\, and seeing their songs featured in campaigns for GoPro\, Carnival Cruises\, Coachella\, and more. \nBeneath the Brine showed that McCormick’s writing for classical instruments had grown. In Prelude to War\, his style and prowess has been even more augmented. Paste Magazine exclaims\, “[Prelude to War] delivers a dose of both the familiar and the experimental: Huge\, rollicking numbers with a few sparse moments of tenderness interspersed throughout. There’s material here that wouldn’t have sounded out of place on Beneath the Brine\, but also several songs that hint at an evolution and embrace of even more seemingly disparate genres. One thing is certain: These guys are just as explosive as ever\, and these songs are going to bring the house down in a live setting.” \nFans of Beneath the Brine’s title track will find drama and dark romanticism in “Sparks” and “Battle Cry\,” and subtle yet powerful musical gestures in “Don’t Wake Me\,” the sole ballad of the EP. Those looking for a lighter\, more pop-infused sound will gravitate toward “Can You Stay” and the undeniably groovy “Mirror Love\,” of which Bob Boilen (NPR’s All Songs Considered) says\, “[Mirror Love] extends into new sonic territory for the group\, capturing the late ’70s sounds of the Bee Gees in both beat and chorus … [a] stunning kaleidoscopic imagery and bold sound.” \n*** \nVAVÁ \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nLos Angeles\, CA

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Yacht Rock Revue
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 6:00 pm / Show: 7:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. Please note: bags or backpacks larger than a purse are prohibited. \nSOLD OUT \n*** \nYacht Rock Revue \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nThe Yacht Rock Revue is the greatest show on Surf and the finest tribute to ’70s light rock to ever perform anywhere. Ever. Their spot-on renditions of Hall & Oates\, Michael McDonald\, Steely Dan\, and the rest of the Time-LifeInfomercial Catalog have enthralled fans across the United States. It goes without saying they have taken their act to the high seas\, performing showcase sets on music cruises with Weezer\, Kid Rock\, Train\, Zac Brown Band\, Sister Hazel\, and fitness guru Jillian Michaels. \nBy blurring the lines between a tribute\, an original act\, and a comedic troupe\, the Yacht Rock Revue has forged a unique niche market and a special bond with their fans. The band attacks each song as if it were their own\, and the energy exchanged between the band and the crowd has more in common with a stadium U2 show than that of a typical bar band.\nThe band has won accolades ranging from “Best Place to Get Drunk With Your Dad” to “Best Overall Music Act in Atlanta” to “Best Place to Start an Extramarital Affair\,” and has been name-dropped by the New York Times\, Pitchfork\, the Guardian UK\,Spin\, TimeOut New York\, Billboard\, MTV.com\, and (probably) your mom at her last cocktail party.  \nSpeaking of name-dropping\, members of the band have played on-stage with members of Weezer\, Billy Joel\, Walter Egan\, .38 Special\, John Mayer\, Zac Brown Band\, Little River Band\, Sheryl Crow\, Noel Gallagher\, Starbuck\, Sarah McLachlan\, Don Henley\, Lynyrd Skynyrd\, Neil Finn\, Jellyfish\, Devo\, Nine Inch Nails\, Joan Jett\, Wet Willie\, Bon Jovi\, Skid Row\, and the Saturday Night Live Band. (None of those were a joke.)

SUMMARY:Tennis
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: :00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. 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. 8/25 at noon! \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. \n*** \n \n*** \nTennis \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nTennis continue their extensive North American tour in celebration of their fourth full-length album\, Yours Conditionally. After a cross country tour in the Spring/Summer supporting artists including Spoon\, The Shins and Father John Misty the band is primed to head out on a Fall Headline tour crisscrossing the United States; their largest to date. \nYours Conditionally—out now on Mutually Detrimental via Thirty Tigers and available at all record stores as well as via iTunes and Spotify— continues to receive praise from NPR’s “Weekend Edition\,” Interview Magazine\, W\, New York Magazine and many more. \nThe new record was composed both on land and at sea during a five-month sailing trip through the Sea of Cortez. Upon returning\, Tennis’ husband-and-wife team of Patrick Riley and Alaina Moore self-produced the record in a small cabin in Fraser\, CO. It was mixed by Spoon’s Jim Eno at Public HiFi. \nNow based in Denver\, Moore and Riley began writing music together as a way to document the history of their time living aboard a sailboat. The result was their first release\, Cape Dory. Moore and Riley followed Cape Dory with Young and Old\, which The New Yorker described as “winsome as it is ebullient” and debuted #1 on Billboard’s Heatseeker Chart and #1 on CMJ Top 200\, where it remained for three straight weeks. The album also debuted on Soundscan’s “New Artist Chart” at #1\, remaining there for nine consecutive weeks. Their newest record comes on the heels of the group’s most recent release\, 2014’s Ritual in Repeat\, which received rave reviews from The New York Times\, NPR’s “All Things Considered” and “Fresh Air\,” TIME\, Vogue\, Pitchfork\, The FADER\, Entertainment Weekly and many more. The band has performed on “The Late Show with David Letterman\,” “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno\,” “Conan” and “Last Call with Carson Daly.” \n*** \nOvercoats \nOvercoats\, Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell\, in the studio with photographer Anna Azarov. \nWebsite\nFacebook \nOvercoats is the New York-based female duo of Hana Elion and JJ Mitchell. Their debut album YOUNG captures a sound rich in minimalism and melody: songs of connection and tension\, on the depths of love and challenges of family. \nOvercoats’ music draws strength from vulnerability\, finding light through darkness\, and the catharsis of simple\, honest songwriting. YOUNG is about a transformation: the passage into womanhood\, sung through the shared experience of two best friends. \nOn their first single “Hold Me Close\,” Hana and JJ’s melodies are purity in unison\, providing two distinct but entwined perspectives on the complexity of love. In their words\, “the song is about finding solace in the present when the future and past seem impossible to understand. It’s about loneliness and disillusionment that we can feel in relationships\, and how we must persevere anyway in hopes of finding the beauty in love.” \nElion and Mitchell were drawn to each other when they first met in 2011\, finding connection in their diverse love of music and an immediate closeness that verges on sisterhood. Their meeting was transformative emotionally as well as creatively. Both halves of Overcoats describe the first time hearing each other sing as an epiphany: the harmony of their voices leading to personal\, individual discovery. This bond forms the foundation of Overcoats\, and it fills the ecosystem of YOUNG with its stunning sound and sentiment. \nAlbum opener “Father” unfurls in clouds of three-dimensional sound: a cathedral of echo over waves of delay and the din of incidental noise. There is a rare resonance in Overcoats evident from these opening tones: between their separate (but inseparable) voices\, flawlessly intuitive performance\, and sublime musical production. Their harmonies slide from brassy to silken with elegant ease\, floating over muted rhythms wrapped in lush swells of synthesizers. \nYOUNG was written by Overcoats and co-produced by Nicolas Vernhes (Daughter\, The War On Drugs\, Dirty Projectors\, Cass McCombs) and experimental R&B artist Autre Ne Veut\, with additional production from Myles Avery and mixing by Ben Baptie (Lapsley\, Lianne La Havas\, Lady Gaga\, Mark Ronson). \nTheir palette is stealth and simple electronics\, with traces of folk\, pop\, and bluegrass embedded within. Like a spectrum from Sylvan Esso to Simon & Garfunkel\, Overcoats creates music deeply rooted in emotion\, and guided by the search for its innate expression through voice and electronics. Songs that began as bedroom creations flourished into rich but restrained productions\, with careful craft illuminating the nuance of Overcoats’ unique songwriting. \nOn YOUNG\, Overcoats creates music of mutual empowerment\, at once synthetic and organic\, wistful and uplifting\, triumphant and subdued. \n“The Fog” is a bay of lonesome\, oscillating synth chords: its boundaries defined by the reflection of echoic finger snaps. Elion and Mitchell find clarity through a lovers’ haze\, their stoic verses liberated by resounding chorus: Freedom is when I’m without you / When the fog lifts I’m the only one I see. \n“Leave The Light On” layers looped and transposed vocals over thumping two-step 808 and punctuations of club-ready brass. Showing the true breadth of influence\, songs like “Little Memory” and “Smaller Than My Mother” are laced with gospel and jazz\, strands woven in with Vernhes’ and Autre Ne Veut’s natural touch. \nYOUNG has a clear\, vertical ambience that lets the topical vibration of the music shine through. This is the arrival of a magical collaboration: a rare unification of two hearts under one imagination. Elion and Mitchell are bound by absolute belief in one another\, and the confidence that every creation is compelled by shared purpose. \nLike its arc of transformation\, from “Father” to album closer “Mother\,” Overcoats captures the notion that we are the intersections of our parents’ greatest fantasies and biggest follies. YOUNG is a startlingly wise portrayal of these complexities: of love\, on inspiration\, and the legacy of family.

Please note: bags or backpacks larger than a purse are prohibited.\nTickets on sale Fri. 11/10 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. \n*** \n \n*** \nJ. Roddy Walston and the Business \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nHeading into Destroyers of the Soft Life\, the fourth LP by J. Roddy Walston and The Business set to be released September 29 via ATO Records\, JRWATB pursued a brighter\, more nuanced sound that teased out the band’s latent pop sensibilities without skimping on energy or attitude. As you press play on the opening track “You Know Me Better”\, anthemic guitars scream out of buoyant\, hooky lyrics as Walston’s chugging piano supplies a persistent heartbeat. The “bar band” sound of the past has been replaced by an aspirational\, booming cacophony that could fill stadiums. \nInstead of the raucous bombast JRWATB manifested on their breakout hit album Essential Tremors\, the band’s leader had certain rules he was determined to follow on Destroyers of the Soft Life. One was: “Speak/sing clearly\, no hiding behind mumbles.” Another was\, “D.I.Y. but hi-fi — record ourselves as much as possible but have it sound amazing and full.” The final\, most important\, rule was\, “Nostalgia is a cancer — acknowledge that you are in the present.” \n“We had never been a band where we pretended that it’s 1965\,” Walston says. “But we ended up in situations with our records where those rules were imposed on us.” \nOn Essential Tremors\, JRWATB inspired pangs of joy in music fans that yearn for the days of Bob Seger and early Bruce Springsteen. But when Walston returned home from touring in 2015 and began contemplating his next move\, he no longer felt the same connection to that classic-rock sound. \n“Loud rock and roll music has become less relevant because it’s just been on a loop\,” he says. “If there was any rule on this record\, it was\, let’s be a part of music right now. I want to be part of living music in this moment.” \nHelping the band realize a new vision for its music was veteran producer Phil Ek (Built To Spill\, Father John Misty\, Fleet Foxes)\, who came in to apply some finishing touches after JRWATB completed most of the record in Virginia. \n“The thing with Phil is he is a servant of the song and that is my vibe as well\,” Walston says. “Ego has no place in songwriting or the studio and we hit it off in that respect right away.” \n“Is there any point to making a record that has real instruments (guitars\, drums\, piano etc.) right now?” he continues. “Is there anything left to be said by writing this way? Do albums matter anymore? Can I make something that I care about right now because it’s a manifestation of the fear/love/excitement/ I am feeling right now\, not because is tickles some easy to reach nostalgic pleasure center.” \nLead single “The Wanting” boasts a shimmering\, uplifting guitar riff and an impossibly huge chorus that belies the song’s thoughtful exploration of familial relationships and the fallacy of distilling complicated people down to archetypes. “Did you do right by us / best it could be\,” Walston sings\, addressing a prodigal father figure. “You’ve done no harm / but you’ve been no good to me.” \nThroughout Destroyers of the Soft Life JRWATB similarly melds engaging\, melodic songwriting with sharp observations about American culture that take on a new kind of power in light of the 2016 presidential election. Standout tracks such as the infectious “Ways And Means” and swaggering “Blade Of Truth” offer the uncompromised\, salt-of-the-Earth perspective of a songwriter who grew up among the white working class and yet has enough perspective to see the ways in which those people have undermined themselves in the political realm. As Walston sings in “Blade of Truth\,” there is now “a judgement on the herd / and your privilege will burn.” \nAmid the torn-from-the-headlines commentary\, Walston revisits the same question: “Is the truth a hard line\, or it is a flexible line that can be messed with?” \n“I got to straddle the line a bit with this record\,” he says. “I hit a point in my life where I could pay my bills on time for the first time ever\, and take a breath. I got to see the life you can have when you’re not living a life of desperation. But I was just outside that line of desperation.” \nThe band’s newfound financial security is largely the result of the band’s hard work on the road. Looking back on the tour cycle for Essential Tremors\, Walston can only chuckle. \n“We probably toured on it way longer than our contemporaries would\,” he admits. \nOf course\, not many bands experience the sort of growth in prominence and audience size that Walston and his compatriots have witnessed in the past several years. Road warriors from the time they formed in 2002\, JRWATB has long been an underground favorite\, toiling away in clubs and bars and carving out its own niche outside of the rock mainstream. But the radio success of Essential Tremors opened new doors and fostered exciting opportunities\, including invites to Lollapalooza\, the Newport Folk Festival\, and Bonnaroo\, and a featured slot in an episode of the prestigious music TV institution\, Austin City Limits. With every new experience came requests to play more shows. \n“The train just kept rolling\,” Walston says\, until finally he hit a wall. “By the time I came off the road\, I thought\, ‘I’m toast. I don’t have anything in the tank.’” \nWalston’s world was also rocked by a huge life-changing event — the birth of his first child. “I think having a kid made me care less of what people think of me\,” he says. “I have one ultimate mission right now — keep a human alive. I don’t care if someone doesn’t like my pants or my hair or whatever. Being a parent makes you powerful in that way.” \nOver the next year and a half\, Walston committed to building himself and his band back up into a new kind of rock ‘n’ roll beast. But before JRWATB could get started on its fourth album\, Walston decided to do some literal construction on a new space for the band where it could rehearse and record. \nThe only space available in the band’s hometown of Richmond\, Va. hardly seemed promising — it was “a completely annihilated warehouse” that had been a grenade factory during World War II\, says Walston\, who decided to rent the place after the landlord offered the first two month’s rent for free. Perhaps the landlord expected JRWATB to eventually pack up and retreat. But that guy clearly knows nothing about this band’s work ethic\, or affinity for lost causes. Instead of giving up\, they gutted the place and spent the next seven months rehabbing the building until it was transformed into a suitable headquarters for JRWATB. \nWhy go to all the trouble of making your own space when there are any number of established studios where you can make your record? For JRWATB\, like it is with so many things in their lives\, building a personal studio was a matter of principle. When you’re renting studio time\, it’s always somebody else’s time. For once\, Walston wanted to make a record on his time. \n“I don’t listen to our old records because I get so stressed when I think about making them\,” he says\, reflecting on how rushed the band was in the studio back then. “We’re taking the experience back.” \n*** \nPost Animal \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nPost Animal is a psych rock band born and bred in the roaring music hub that is Chicago\, Illinois. True to their DIY roots\, they feel most at home playing in a crowded basement surrounded by dancing strangers and sweaty friends. Members include Dalton Allison\, Jake Hirshland\, Javi Reyes\, Wesley Toledo and Matt Williams. \nMoving and grooving as this six-piece since 2016\, the boys of Post Animal developed a loyal fan base early on following their single “When I Get Home\,” which landed them shout outs in Paper Mag\, Vice and NME.

SUMMARY:Black Rebel Motorcycle Club
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 8:00 pm / Show: 9:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. 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. 9/15 at 10AM! \nTickets available at AXS.COM\, or by phone at 855-482-2090.

More info at: https://warchildusa.org/homeusa \n*** \n \n*** \nBlack Rebel Motorcycle Club \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nFor 15 years\, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club has carried the torch for true rock and roll. The latest edition of the firebrand rock troupe\, sees them at their most dynamic. Their sixth studio album\, “Specter at the Feast\,” ventures into diverse sonic territory\, delivering their most ambitious offering yet. It’s an album of impossible dichotomies; opposing sounds amalgamate into a seamless\, entirely coherent package\, that rumbles with driving rhythms\, and soars with skyward-arcing guitar howls. Robert Been delivers growling bass grooves on “Hate the Taste\,” and Peter Hayes’ guitar wails on what may be their most hard-rocking song\, “Rival.” Counterbalancing these frenetic outbursts are moments of star-gazing ambient textures\, like the crystalline harmonics introducing the slinking album opener\, “Fire Walker\,” and the organ drones of “Returning.” There are moments of down-home blues paired alongside flailing punk bombasticism; gnarled dark rock shores upon uplifting\, and optimistic anthems. Taking cues from all points of the band’s many years on the road\, this record is the band’s most well-realized album to date. “We thought about making it a double album\,” Been says of the many songs that were written for the record. \nTo write the album\, the Los Angeles band traveled north to the sleepy Northern California town of Santa Cruz\, where they holed up in an old Post Office-turned-recording studio. It was here\, just a few blocks from where Been grew up\, that they began to write. \n“Peter would spend all day and night in that studio\,” Been recalls\, “[Drummer] Leah [Shapiro] and I would go and check on him every few days\, and he’d show us these incredible textures and guitar lines that he built.” \n“I’ve never seen the sunrise so many times\,” Hayes laughs\, “I’d work all night on these songs\, trying to get them right.” \nPrior to heading north to Santa Cruz\, Dave Grohl invited them to his Studio 606\, home to the storied Neve 8028 console soundboard from the legendary Sound City — the subject of his recent documentary — and on which Nirvana created “Nevermind” and BMRC recorded their debut album in 2001. “It was a nice sense return\,” Been says\, “to come back to the place where it all began for us.” \nFor two years\, the band worked on creating the album\, a process that they all agree\, was one of the most difficult of their career. Like the Macbeth quote that became the album’s title\, there was a painful shadow that had been cast upon the band. \nDuring the band’s 2010 tour\, Robert’s father Michael Been — known for fronting 1980’s alt-rock group\, The Call — died while backstage. He was BRMC’s sound engineer\, and as Hayes says\, “he was like another member of the band.” They finished the tour but afterward\, the trauma began to set in. \n“Music began as the best way to escape what was out there\, all the shit in the world that feels false\, everything you want to say against it\,” Been says\, “but when a loss like this is so close to music\, it turns everything upside down. Music becomes the one place where you can’t escape. It’s like waking up in a completely different world. How do I get my bearings in this world?” \nSlowly\, the band began to rebuild. They fought grief and the pain of Michael’s death by confronting it directly\, with no fear. \n“The only thing that felt good was just getting together\, plugging in\, and turning up loud as shit\,” Been says. “It was kind of this therapeutic process\, playing really loud\, and just feeling this energy; letting that be a release. It really helped us pull out of that darkest place that we were in.” \nAs their momentum regained\, their synergy reconnected them to one another. Then one session began the process that unlocked their creative energy again. “I began playing this drumbeat that I had been working on\,” Shapiro says\, “the guys started playing\, and suddenly we realized that we were playing the Call’s ‘Let the Day Begin.'” \nThe unintentional homage to The Call turned into their own high-powered take on the song they performed with Michael around the world. The energy was explosive and real; it became the first song they recorded at Grohl’s studio\, as a tribute to Michael’s place in the band. For Robert\, of course\, the meaning transcended music. “This song was one of my earliest memories of my father’s music\,” he says. \nGrief transformed to joy. On this album\, where they dug deeper than ever before\, mining these difficult emotional landscapes\, the result is intense\, but rapturous. From personal and intimate hymns like the “Sometimes the Light” to the buzz-saw guitars of “Teenage Disease\,” Been says “it was these two extremes that we were drifting back and forth between\, you feel both when you are going through what we went trough.” \nAbove all\, “Specter at the Feast” is honest; it tells the story of a journey to Hell and back\, revealing that in darkness\, there can be light. Wounds will eventually heal\, and maybe\, music can save your life. As they sing on ‘Returning\,’ “I will follow you till we all return\, till we know our souls’ survived.” \n*** \nNight Beats \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nDanny Lee Blackwell – guitar / vocals\nJakob Bowden — bass\nJames Traeger — drums\nNight Beats play pure psychedelic R&B music that spikes the punch and drowns your third eye in sonic waves of colour. Theirs is a bastard blues\, contorted and distorted into new shapes for 21st century wastoids — once tasted never forgotten. This is music to melt your sorry little minds.\nMake no mistake: their new album Who Sold My Generation sounds like it has been created against a backdrop of burning Stars and Stripes flags and with the whiff of napalm hanging in the air — an alternative universe where ‘Helter Skelter’ is the national anthem and Charlie Manson is still on the loose. Acid-test heaviness is Night Beats’ currency\, but this is no out-right nostalgia trip either. Instead of Nixon and Vietnam\, Night Beats have their own epoch of God and guns and bombs and drones to rail against…or flee from. Besides\, bad vibrations\, blues jams and id-shattering explorations are timeless pursuits – why shouldn’t today’s young generation be allowed to take a ride down the slippery spiral that sits within the centre of each of us?\nOn their third album – and first for Heavenly Recordings — Night Beats perhaps most recall their Texan forefathers and psyche-rock originators 13th Floor Elevators at their ‘69 peak\, just before The Man busted young Roky Erickson and dragged him to the psyche ward for barbaric doses of shock treatment. These boys represent the best of the Lone Star State’s flipside – that vast dusty hinterland of the soul where it’s easy to drift off the map and reinvent yourself as part of the long lineage of creative cowboys who prefer psychotropics to rodeo riding\, guitars rather than firearms.\n“Old cowboy culture is alive and well in Texas\,” says frontman Danny Lee Blackwell. “I grew up with Texan mythology all around us\, so as a band its instilled in our blood. My Dad didn’t wrangle steers but he did pick cotton when he was young. But then cities like Austin and Dallas\, where we spent most of our time growing up\, have a real sense of musical history that runs deep\, so we feed off legacy that too.”\nFrom the Elevators and The Red Krayola on to pre-ZZ Top band The Moving Sidewalks\, Butthole Surfers and The Black Angels – whose record label Reverb Appreciation Society have released Night Beats — and a clutch of other early cult bands besides (Bubble Puppy\, Shiva’s Headband and the Golden Dawn\, anyone?)\, Texas has always been a prime breeding ground for such outlaw music. “The Elevators were one of the reasons I decided to become a singer and form the group\,” says Blackwell. “I loved their attempt to play R ‘n’ B music\, but from a distinctly Texan approach. I’d say they have profoundly influenced the group\, but it’s now our job to take it to another level in a new age.”\nIt took a cross-country relocation to instigate their formation. Night Beats were born when frontman Danny Lee Blackwell upped stick from Dallas to Seattle\, Washington and was soon joined by childhood friend James Traeger. “James got me a copy of Ginsberg’s Howl when I was around 15 and it changed everything\,” remembers Blackwell of his old friend. “We grew up together and once he moved up to Seattle we did everything together there too. I wanted to try out a different place\, a new city\, where no one knew my music and there wasn’t anything remotely similar going on. Coming from Dallas\, Austin seemed like the obvious choice but I needed something more. Seattle was at one time the home to people we love like Ray Charles\, Jimi Hendrix and Quincy Jones so I didn’t feel too disconnected.”\nThe two existed initially as a guitar and drums duo\, named in honour of Sam Cooke’s 1963 album Night Beat\, before fellow Jakob Bowden Dallas resident joined on bass after a stint in Austin. Filtering a collective love of pioneering artists as disparate as Buddy Holly\, Fela Kuti\, Etta James\, James Brown and Leonard Cohen\, Night Beats dropped a clutch of singles\, split-singles\, cassette release and two albums – their self-titled debut in 2011 followed by Sonic Bloom in 2013 – as well as featuring on all manner of compilation albums that document the cutting edge of the head-bending\, modern counter-cultural US underground.\nNight Beats hit the road too\, touring extensively with Roky Erickson\, The Zombies\, The Jesus and Mary Chain\, The Strange Boys\, Black Lips\, The Growlers and The Black Angels in North America\, Europe\, Israel\, South Africa and Australia.\nRecorded on old two-inch tape in Echo Park\, Los Angeles at the home of producer Nic Jodoin and featuring co-production and guess bass playing from Robert Levon Been of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club\, new album Who Sold My Generation goes beyond merely being a retreading of well-worn garage / R&B path. Instead it offers a contemporary take on the psychedelic experience\, a heady set of hoodoo voodoo songs. Mordant and corrosive opener ‘Celebration #1’ sets the tone with its wailing guitar jams and Messiah-like monologue\, while ‘No Cops’ makes like the imaginary soundtrack to an orgiastic party somewhere in the LA hills as the summer of love gave way to an era of greed and paranoia. ‘Sunday Mourning’ is the sound of blood dripping on the twitching remains of a generation’s super ego and with a rockabilly strut\, ‘Egypt Berry’ chases the White Rabbit down into a cosmic underworld while shaking its burning tail feathers\nWith new Who Sold My Generation\, Night Beats have not only painted it black\, they’ve torched the fucker and driven it off the cliff\, crashing and burning into the arid canyon below.\nIn its afterglow only the lone howl of a solitary coyote remains.\nBen Myers. October 2015.
