SUMMARY:Moon Taxi
DESCRIPTION:92.5 The River Presents\n \n  \n  \n  \n  \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18+. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. \nTickets on sale now! \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*** \nMoon Taxi \n \nWEBSITE\nFACEBOOK \nIndie rock band from Nashville\, Tennessee\, U.S. \n*** \nToo Many Zooz \n \nWEBSITE\nFACEBOOK \nWith the snowballing trend towards electronic instrumentation in music\, it’s easy to forget where it all first started: on street corners with real instruments\, playing for tips\, that is until you’ve heard Too Many Zooz. Too Many Zooz is a three-piece “BrassHouse” band comprised of Matt Doe\, Leo P\, and King of Sludge. The group found their voice playing for change on New York’s subway platforms\, honing extremely danceable rhythms and melodies. \nNamed one to Billboards’ Top 25 Next Big Sound\, thanks in part to a video of one of their frenetic subway performances was posted to Reddit and went viral to the tune of over 2.2 million views\, and in a very short time amassed a large fan base. Additional videos have millions of views\, and Facebook likes over 420\,000. \nThis is all for good reason\, too. Their music is infectious\, impossible to stay still listening to. As old-fashioned as their musical approach is\, – if one were to call live instrumentation old fashioned – the structure of their songs follows very closely to any hit dance music track\, hence their self-prescribed “brass house” genre. The drums provide a rhythmic base\, the saxophone a bass line and the trumpet serves as the melody\, guiding you to a gradually increasing\, precipitous crescendo\, where all the instruments come together only “drop” from a dizzying height\, clashing together in an explosive climax of sound. Too Many Zooz will definitely force you to reconsider the way you think about jazz music. Don’t just take our word for it\, Beyoncé APPROVES! \nTOO MANY ZOOZ have shared the stage with Beyoncé\, KASKADE\, Beats Antique\, Galactic and more.

SUMMARY:Wolf Parade
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.\nTickets on sale Fri. 7/28 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*** \nWolf Parade \nWolf Parade \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nThe soaring choruses\, rousing anthems\, sprawling guitars and chaotic keys that make up Wolf Parade are on proud display over the course of Cry Cry Cry\, the band’s thunderous first album in seven years. \nThat unique combination of sounds and influences\, spearheaded by electric co-frontmen Spencer Krug and Dan Boeckner—a complex yet relatable\, energetic brew of glam\, prog\, synth-rock\, and satisfying discomfort—helped define 2000s indie rock with three critically celebrated albums\, and propelled a growing Wolf Parade fandom even after the band went on a then-indefinite hiatus in 2010. \nThe upcoming return marks their first to be produced by Pacific Northwest legend John Goodmanson (Bikini Kill\, Sleater-Kinney\, Unwound) at Robert Lang Studios outside of Seattle\, and is accompanied by a renewed focus and the creativity of a band that took their time getting exactly where they needed to be. It’s also a homecoming to Sub Pop\, which released all three of the band’s previous albums. \n“The band itself is almost a fifth member of the band\, something more or at least different than the sum of its parts\,” says Krug. “We don’t know who or what is responsible for our sound\, it’s just something that naturally and consistently comes from this particular combo of musicians.” \n“Once we got back together\, I was playing guitar\, writing and singing in a way that I only do while I’m in Wolf Parade\,” says Dan Boeckner\, who shares primary lyrical and singing duties with Spencer. “It’s just something that I can’t access without the other three people in the room.” \nIn the time apart\, the band scattered geographically and focused on family and other work–Spencer on his solo project Moonface\, Dan on his bands Handsome Furs\, Operators\, and Divine Fits (with Spoon’s Britt Daniel)\, and Dante De Caro on records with Carey Mercer’s Frog Eyes and Blackout Beach. And that time allowed for an even stronger\, tighter band to emerge. \nEventually\, Spencer\, Dante\, and Arlen found themselves all back living on remote Vancouver Island\, accompanied by a population density less than that of Alaska\, and the tranquility that leads to creative emanations like a government-sponsored bathtub race. With Dan on the same coast in Northern California\, discussions began about picking things up where they left off. \n“All of our albums are always a reaction to our last one\,” says Arlen. “Expo 86 (2010) was about as sparse as we get\, which is usually still pretty dense\, and this time we wanted to make the palette a little larger.” Adds Dante\, “Expo was a real rock record. We just sort of banged it out\, which was kind of the point.” Cry Cry Cry\, on the other hand\, is more deliberate in its arrangements and embrace of the studio process. “If a part was going on for too long it would get lopped\, you know?” says Dan. “That being said\, there are two very long songs on the record and I don’t think it would be a Wolf Parade record if it didn’t have some kind of prog epic.” \n“I think we’re actually a better band than we were when we stopped playing music together\,” says Arlen. “A little bit more life experience for everybody\, and people having made a bunch of records on their own.” \nThe result of this new consciousness is songs like “Valley Boy\,” a Bowie-inflected anthem for which Spencer wrote lyrics after Leonard Cohen died the day before the 2016 election (“The radio’s been playing all your songs\, talking about the way you slipped away up the stairs\, did you know that it was all gonna go wrong?”). “You’re Dreaming\,” also influenced by the election and the spinning shock that followed\, is driving\, urgent power pop that draws from artists like Tom Petty and what Dan calls one of his “default languages” for writing music. The swirly\, synth-heavy crescendo of “Artificial Life” takes on the struggle of artists and at-risk communities (“If the flood should ever come\, we’ll be last in the lifeboat”). \nThe album carries a sense of uprising that is not unrelated to Wolf Parade’s renewed determination to drive the band forward in uncertain times. Welcome to Cry Cry Cry. \nAll right\nLet’s fight\nLet’s rage against the night \n– “Lazarus Online” (Spencer Krug)

SUMMARY:Hope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions
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.\nTickets on sale Fri. 6/23 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*** \nHope Sandoval & The Warm Inventions \n \n[Website]\n[Facebook] \nThrough The Devil Softly\nThe delicious dichotomy between darkness and light\, the space between inspiration and the manifestation of thought\, is where Hope Sandoval’s music and lyrics catch fire. Through The Devil Softly\, her second album with Warm Inventions partner Colm Ó C”osóig (My Bloody Valentine)\, is a rich brocade of pastoral meditations that resonate with the kind of restrained yet provocative intimacy that only these two artists can provide. Well known for their reticence in the media\, they’ve once again chosen to pour out their hearts and minds on record.\nIt’s been eight years since the release of the critically acclaimed Bavarian Fruit Bread\, but Colm and Hope aren’t ones to adhere to traditional timetables and conventions. “Time is vibrations for us\,” he says. “We didn’t feel like [this album] was ready until it was ready.” In the meantime\, however\, neither artist has been creatively idle. Hope has collaborated with Devendra Banhart\, Air\, Bert Jansch\, Death In Vegas\, and is due to appear on Massive Attack’s forthcoming album. And yes\, a new Mazzy Star record is on the horizon. (“It’s almost finished\,” says Hope\, “but when it will be coming out\, I don’t know.”) Meanwhile\, 2009 saw the reunion of My Bloody Valentine for a select group of live shows\, kicking off with an incendiary performance at this year’s Coachella Festival.\n“It’s like the opposite ends of the spectrum\,” says Ó C”osóig of the difference between MBV and his work with Sandoval. “I play very held back\, but there’s a tension to it.”\nWritten and recorded over the past two years in both Northern California and the Wicklow Mountains of southeast Ireland\, Through The Devil Softly sees Sandoval and Ó C”osóig sharing production and engineering credits\, with Dave Trumfio (Wilco\, The Rentals) and Jim Putnam of the Radar Brothers assisting in the mix. Other guests of note include Mazzy Star keyboardist Suki Ewers and cellist Ji Young Moon\, who provides the solo on the sublime “Thinking Like That.” But the album’s most broad brush addition comes courtesy of Ireland’s Dirt Blue Gene\, the group who tracked the recordings with Sandoval and Ó C”osóig\, and will accompany them on their upcoming tour. While the simplicity of “Lady Jessica and Sam” and the bucolic beauty of “Fall Aside” represent one facet of the record\, Dirt Blue Gene help inject an undulating\, sultry swagger into songs like “Trouble” and “For The Rest Of Your Life” that compliments the album’s more delicate passages. Elsewhere\, autoharps\, vibraphones\, slide guitars\, and crystalline bell chimes flicker across the tape heads like shadows\, used so sparingly at times that their sound is barely audible above Hope’s hushed inflection. On “There’s A Willow\,” her verses are carried on the back of a simple\, singular cymbal\, cresting and falling like ocean waves. Meandering guitar and harmonica parts waltz together like old lovers\, while the distant knocking of a solitary woodblock and the tapping of a tom provide the only cadence. “I merely standing on holes in the ground. If I fall\, well they’ll never know I’m found\,” she coos on “Banchard.” Later she muses\, “I play death in the space of my life. That’s how I feel\, and I never think it twice\,” and you’re left to wonder if she’s ruminating on her own taciturn nature. As with the album’s title\, the words are not there to be explained. They’re to be felt and interpreted. The mystery is magnetic.\n“We just make music for ourselves\,” says Colm. “We don’t really pay attention to what’s going on in the big world when it comes to pop music or anything.”\nAnyone whose seen Sandoval perform live\, either with Mazzy Star or the Warm Inventions\, can attest to that intimacy. Often shrouded in low light\, she rarely communicates with the crowd outside the boundaries of a song. “I go into myself\, close myself off\,” says Hope of her relationship with audiences. “But I do know that they’re there.”\nRife with lush sonics and textures\, Through The Devil Softly is a deliberate body of work that gently solicits your patience\, and like the cover photograph\, it’s creators reveal very little so that the art can reveal so much. \n*** \nHoly Wave \n \n[Website]\n[Facebook] \nFreaks of Nurture by HOLY WAVE \nKyle Hager\nDustin Zozaya\nJulian Ruiz\nJoey Cook\nRyan Fuson

SUMMARY:Citizen
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 6:30 pm / Show: 7:30 pm \nThis event is All Ages.\nTickets on sale Fri. 8/11 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*** \nCitizen \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nCitizen’s As You Please reports from ground zero of an epidemic. Two years removed from their previous Run For Cover LP\, Everybody Is Going To Heaven\, Citizen’s perspective is far less sublime. As You Please is a confrontational record\, incapable of turning a blind eye toward the inescapable strife. And so\, songwriter Mat Kerekes pursues the source of discontent that is ravaging his Rust Belt city of Toledo\, Ohio with the band’s most dynamic record to date. \nOn As You Please the epidemic is bigger than addiction and overdoses. There is no longer a Dream to be pursued for the friends and family surrounding Citizen. The band explores that absence and the misguided ways in which it gets filled. On opener “Jet” the kids move slow and there’s a stranger living in the narrator’s home. “In The Middle Of It All” might be Citizen at their most hopeful\, but it also reads as agonizing expression of the ruin in the Heartland. \nAs You Please also showcases the growing versatility of a band seven years deep and still restless. Citizen has churned and ground out their own unique foothold within the greater context of alternative rock. Written over the course of a year\, the record is devoid of the brutish and sinister elements found on Everybody Is Going To Heaven. Here\, Citizen go beyond their early grunge contrasts and strive for something benevolent. \nThere’s a spiritual core to the record that manifests in subtle ways like the ethereal vocals echoing in the breakdown of “Control\,” the droning organs on “You Are A Star” or the almost operatic refrain on “In The Middle Of It All.” The finespun ways in which Citizen has written this record mark a cataclysmic breakthrough for the band. There is damage and disarray in the band member’s lives\, but within this record all the pieces have been restored in an ornate arrangement befitting a stained glass mosaic. \nIn the end\, As You Please tries to give strength to those in need. There are illicit factors that control\, but Citizen has written a guiding light of an album out of the debris. It concludes with “You Are A Star” and “Flowerchild;” one an unstable request of confidence set to soaring progressions\, the other a blistering finale that subverts expectation. As You Please might read as meek\, but it represents Citizen in its most confident and expansive state. \n*** \nSorority Noise \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \n“I don’t want to be in an emo band anymore\,” proclaims SORORITY NOISE frontman Cameron Boucher. “But I have no problem with people calling us that\, because in the strictest of senses\, we are an emotionally driven band.” \nThat\, is Sorority Noise in a nutshell: part of a movement\, but also discrete and determined to break free from the pack. Truth be told\, the Connecticut-based quartet—Boucher\, guitarist/vocalist Adam “Scuff” Ackerman\, bassist/vocalist Ryan McKenna and drummer Charlie Singer—have always operated a little differently than most of their peers. \nFor starters\, Boucher attended the University of Hartford for jazz saxophone\, while guitarist Ackerman studies acoustics and upright bass. But it’s not just their unorthodox musical chops that set the band apart in the underground punk scene. With the release of their Topshelf Records debut\, JOY\, DEPARTED\, Sorority Noise—recently named one of the 100 Bands You Need to Know in 2015 by Alternative Press—are poised to break out in a big way. \nJoy\, Departed is more than just the best iteration of Sorority Noise to date; the album also marks a creative shift for Boucher\, who draws musical influence from a diverse crop of acts spanning Regina Spektor and jazz trumpeter Chet Baker to The Smiths and Broken Social Scene—and previously spent time fronting screamo band Old Gray. In some ways\, the singer says he approached the creative process like writing his very first album. \nBoucher started Sorority Noise in late 2013 with friends as an outlet to explore musical styles outside his work in Old Gray. The group then recruited Ackerman and issued their debut full-length\, Forgettable\, in May 2014. Much buzz—and tours with rising stars Modern Baseball and The Hotelier—followed\, as did a split 7” with Somos and the arrivals of Singer (whom Boucher had played with in Old Gray) and McKenna. \nOutside of pure proficiency\, one of the more gripping elements of Sorority Noise’s musical direction is the band’s willingness to speak of personal hardships\, including the often-taboo topic of addiction on songs like the heart-wrenching album-closer “When I See You (Timberwolf).” \n“There’s so many people having drug problems—and a lot of bands who play it safe and don’t want to talk about it\,” Boucher explains. “I think it’s important to be shown in modern music. I like to be honest about my past and talk about things that have had me down. As a lyricist\, you are responsible for the people who care about your music.” \n*** \nGreat Grandpa \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nPlastic Cough\, the fantastic debut full length from Seattle WA’s Great Grandpa\, is bursting with grunge and pop sensibilities focused around the legendary indie rock sound that’s dominated the Pacific Northwest music scene for the past three decades. \nGreat Grandpa began in Seattle in 2014 when guitarist & vocalist Patrick Goodwin recruited bassist Carrie Miller\, drummer Cam LaFlam\, and vocalist Alex Menne to form a humble rock band. Inspired by the pop-sensible alternative rock of the 90’s\, and offset by a mutual love for noise and math rock\, the group set forth to write and record their first EP. \nDuring recording\, guitarist Dylan Hanwright joined the group\, solidifying the lineup. Great Grandpa began performing in the Seattle area in late 2014\, frequenting the city’s DIY venues. In March of 2015\, their debut EP Can Opener was released on Broken World Media. The EP was met with considerable praise\, and has been described as “warm\, slightly off-kilter grunge pop”\, and “knotty\, twisted\, and warm rock music that’s as melodically satisfying as it is\, at times\, confounding.” \nGreat Grandpa began writing their debut LP soon after\, and found themselves touring the western US and performing extensively in the Seattle area. Written in 2015 and 2016\, Great Grandpa’s debut LP Plastic Cough continues to explore the sonic territory visited in Can Opener\, exhibiting infectious melodies across a range of backdrops\, from quiet bedroom-pop to explosive\, anthemic rock. Plastic Cough is out July 7th via Double Double Whammy.

SUMMARY:Hamilton Leithauser
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 6:00 pm / Show: 6:30 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.\nTickets on sale Fri. 5/5 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. Please note: box office is cash only. \n*** \nHamilton Leithauser \nHamilton Leithauser + Rotsam in Brooklyn\, NY on September 26\, 2016 \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nI Had A Dream That You Were Mine is an album of songs Hamilton Leithauser and Rostam wrote and recorded together between July 2014 and February 2016. In the spirit of collaborative albums\, not unlike those of David Byrne and Brian Eno\, each musician’s individuality remains in tact\, while in fact\, on this record\, both Hamilton’s identity as a singer and Rostam’s as a producer seem to reach new heights. \n“This was a record I’d been wanting to make for at least a decade\,” Rostam says. “As a fan of Hamilton’s voice in the Walkmen\, I’d been wanting to capture it in ways it hadn’t been captured before — to make songs with him that placed the crooner right beside the howler\, the screamer beside the whisperer — to try to leave no stone unturned in terms of how we should approach the delivery of a song. And also to try to push his voice outside of any musical context it had lived in before.” \nSays Leithauser\, “Rostam’s one-man-band process is so fundamentally different from the way I’ve always written songs\, and it’s very impressive. We had no idea what kind of music we were going to make — we actually didn’t know we were working on an album at first — but unexpected things kept falling into place. We were writing and recording everything simultaneously — it was flat-out inspiring just to be there.” \nMany of these songs seem to take place in a memory of New York’s past\, or wading through the waist high waters in a half-submerged New York of the future. Yet what unites them is that they tell stories — I Had A Dream That You Were Mine is an album\, a collection of songs yes\, but also a collection of narratives. “The Bride’s Dad” faithfully recounts an unexpected (an probably uninvited) guest at a friend’s recent wedding; “You Ain’t That Young Kid” follows the wistful narrator through a night of lost love and transformed resolve. \nFrom the doo-wop of “When the Truth is…” to the country pedal steel of “The Morning Stars”; from the piano and organ alchemy of the Band in “A 1000 Times\,” to the Leonard Cohen-esque Spanish triplets of “In a Black Out”; the album harnesses the exploding musical styles of midcentury America — which\, when melded with the warbled 1980’s analogue synthesizers of “You Ain’t That Young Kid\,” the ultramodern sub bass of “Sick as a Dog\,” the intimate falsetto of “1959\,” and the raucous bar-room chorus of “Rough Going” — sparks an entirely unexpected and innovative style. \n*** \n Courtney Marie Andrews\n/strong> \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nAt just 16 years old\, Courtney Marie Andrews left home in Arizona for her first tour. She traveled up and down the West Coast\, busking and playing any bars or cafés that would have her. Soon after\, she took a Greyhound bus four nights straight from Phoenix to New York to do the same on the East Coast. For a decade or so since\, Courtney’s been a session and backup singer and guitarist for nearly 40 artists\, from Jimmy Eat World to Damien Jurado. She never stopped writing her own material\, though. Picking up admirers like Jurado and Ryan Adams along the way\, she has quietly earned a reputation as a songwriter’s songwriter.  \nWith plans to settle down for a bit and focus on her own songs\, Courtney moved to the Northwest in 2011 to record her last full-length record On My Page. However\, the record had hardly been released before she was on the road again performing other artists’ songs\, eventually leading her overseas to play guitar and sing with Belgian star Milow. At the tour’s end\, though\, the other session players joined her to record her 2014 EP Leuven Letters in one take. \nIt was during this time that Courtney also wrote many of the songs on Honest Life. She found herself realizing the impact of growing up on the road and this constant reconciling between her and other’s art and identity. Courtney will take it from there: \n“While in Belgium for four months\, I was going through a major heartbreak. I started growing homesick for America and the comfort of family and friends\, and life in the states. That’s where I wrote the first songs for Honest Life. It was a giant hurdle in my life. My first true growing pains as a woman. That’s why in a sense\, I feel this record is a coming of age album. A common thread that runs through the songs\, is a great desire to fit somewhere\, when nowhere fits. And wanting to get back home to the people I know and love. Once I got back to the states\, I started to bartend at a small town tavern. I was home for awhile\, and needed to post up while rehearsing with the band for the record. At the tavern\, I felt I could truly empathize with the stories and lives of the people there. I wrote the other half of the songs about coming home and feeling a sense of belonging again. A lot of the stories at that tavern definitely ran parallel with my own\, even though our lives were so different. I was the “musician girl.” They were farmers\, construction workers\, plumbers\, waitresses\, and cashiers. But\, no matter how different\, I felt we were all trying to live our most honest life.” \nCourtney produced the entire record herself at Litho Studios in Seattle with recording engineer Floyd Reitsma. Honest Life will be available on LP\, CD and digitally August 19th from Mama Bird Recording Co. (USA/World) and on January 20th from Loose Music (Europe).

SUMMARY:Angus & Julia Stone
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is 18+. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. \nTickets on sale Fri. 6/30 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*** \nAngus & Julia Stone \n \nWEBSITE\nFACEBOOK \nThe first notes of Snow are instantly transporting. The guitar is a scratchy\, wooden memory laid over a moment of silence. The gently driving organ beat emerges and takes you with it\, beginning the next enchanting journey with brother-sister duo\, Angus and Julia Stone. “Running from the start\, here we are again\,” Julia sings. “Running from the start\, here we go again\,” comes her brother’s reply. \n“Snow is both of us” Angus says of the first single from the fourth Angus & Julia Stone album. “We sat down and wrote it together.” \nIn that sense\, the album continues a process the siblings began at the suggestion of producer Rick Rubin on their self-tilted album of 2014. “That was the first time that we actually started writing together\, in the same room\, and I guess we took a leaf from that chapter into this record. This time round though\, every song on the record we wrote together” Angus says. \nSince the duo began performing together in 2006\, their story has unfolded with an almost magical magnetism that has galvanised the world. Their four albums have amassed multi-platinum sales and numerous ARIA and APRA awards at home\, and won a fanbase of millions over spiralling tours of the UK\, Europe and North America. The band have each month over 5 million listeners who tune in\, to stream their music from all over the world. \nTheir quietly hypnotic songs have infiltrated film and TV from the recent woody Harrelson film ‘The Edge of 17’ to TV shows like ‘Pretty Little Liars’\, ‘Suits’ & ‘Revenge’. They have cast their spell over the world’s key festivals: Coachella\, Lollapalooza\, Bonnaroo\, Outside Lands\, Rochweichter\, Hurricane\, Austin City Limits\, Electric Picnic\, Splendour In The Grass\, The Great Escape. \nIt’s no secret that these escalating demands nearly divided the duo into parallel solo careers in 2012\, before Rick Rubin insisted they reunite for that self-titled album in Los Angeles. It naturally led to more laps of the world\, and a new purpose and cohesion that flowed into early band sessions for the album. \nPlot-wise\, SNOW is the first moment of yet another confident advance on a story which now accounts for over half a million album sales in Angus & Julia’s homeland of Australia alone. The Sydney-born siblings produced and largely engineered it themselves\, in Angus’s cottage studio\, Belafonté\, in the Byron Bay hinterland. \n“It was quite magical because Angus and I have never spent that much time together\, just the two of us\,” says Julia. “There’s always at least an engineer or tour manager but the last phase of writing and recording was just eight weeks of him and me and the quiet of the land. It was a beautiful time.” \n*** \nLuke Sital-Singh \n \nWEBSITE\nFACEBOOK \n“I made an album that I was mostly proud of. But the process was hard and process matters to me. It colours the final work with a subtle significance. So now I look back with a bemused frown. Because all I remember is the process. And the process was too hard. \n“When it came time to move on\, things needed to change. I wanted control of the process back. I wanted to be small again. Big can be good\, but big can be brittle. And small packs a punch when you can be nimble.” \nSo wrote Luke Sital-Singh in July 2015. He typeset his words using metal type and an old printing press\, each sentence on a new line\, no full stops required. It was a pause\, a moment of reflection on the events of the preceding couple of years\, specifically the release of his “compromised” debut album\, ‘The Fire Inside’\, the slightly bitter fruits of an ill-starred major label relationship. It was also a personal manifesto\, a quiet\, internal rallying cry. And it was a nice bit of writing\, thought through and pored over and carefully presented. That’s how he rolls. He rolls his own. \nEighteen months on – he wasn’t going to rush – comes ‘Time Is A Riddle’\, that second album Sital-Singh was determined to make solely on his terms. No interference\, no scheduling issues\, nor elaborate musicianship\, nothing big or brittle. Just care\, and effort\, and time well spent – values he shares with the Slow Movement to which he subscribes\, and with the crafts people up and down the country with whom the musician has some special projects planned. It’s a lovely record of self-written songs\, a crafted distillation of the ideas and tastes that have been percolating through Sital-Singh since he was a teenager in suburban southwest London\, listening in awe to Damien Rice\, since he was a rapt fan in the audience at a Ryan Adams gig in Brighton. \nRecalling the music that made him\, Sital-Singh – a singer with both soul and grit in his voice – says: “There was something about acoustic\, singer-songwriter music that seemed more meaningful\, and beautiful. I only like music that I feel like I can call beautiful. And to me that’s slow music\, and more downbeat music. It’s a running joke amongst my friends that I’m a grumpy git\,” he admits (and admits cheerfully). “But I’m not actually depressive. I’m just fairly introverted\, quiet and pessimistic – but I’m happy being that. And songs are always the things I’ve been interested in\, not the bells and whistles around the song. It’s purely about the song in its simplest form\, and trying to craft that with just a guitar or just a piano. I’m obsessed with that.” \nSital-Singh is a student of words. “I was brought up in a fairly religious family\, and there were quite a lot of philosophical\, theological discussions around. So there was always this thing in me about exploring inner things. So before the songs there were woe-is-me\, slit-your-wrist poems\,” he smiles. \nAnd he’s a student of notes\, the youngest of three musical brothers. He was first a childhood violinist then an adolescent guitarist who attended BIMM Brighton music college before graduating from the London open-mic scene. Self-released EPs led to Proper Record Deal led to Difficult First Album. “Spent too much money\, lost too much money\,” the now Bristol-based musician recalls without rancour. “This time I was determined to do the complete opposite.” \nHaving written a brace of songs – simple songs that moved him – Sital-Singh followed his long-held artist’s dream: he escaped to a remote studio\, Attica Audio\, in Donegal\, with nothing on his mind other than making the record of his life. The studio’s owner\, producer Tommy McLaughlin (a member of Villagers’ touring band\, who Sital-Singh has opened for) pulled together a small group of musicians. Well-used to playing together\, the band slotted together effortlessly for a series of recordings over ten days. \n“There were big windows looking over the hills of Donegal\, and it was raining the whole time\, which was perfect for me. We were playing and singing at the same time in this lovely big live room\, with so much bleed\, just the way records used to be made. So much fun. These were simple songs that just need to be recorded nicely and played well with a good band with nice instruments in a nice room. We don’t need weird stuff going on. We needed me to feel inspired by the performance to sing a good vocal. And that’s what I was.” \n‘Time Is A Riddle’ opens with ‘Still’\, a song Neil Young might have left behind on Zuma Beach. \n“It’s a song about wanting to remind everyone that I’m still here – and also reminding myself that all this shit goes on\, but it can just blow past\, and you’re still here. It’s not quite ‘I’m Still Standing’\,” he smiles of the Elton John belter. “But I hate our obsession with newness and following trends. So the idea of someone still there\, still doing their thing\, I think is a nice sentiment to start the record with.” \nAnother cornerstone track is the album’s title track. “I was listening to a lot of Feist and thought she was great\,” he says by way of explaining a song with heavy chords and quiet drama. “And that’s what her music is: quiet drama. Some of the production is quite bombastic\, but there’s a gentleness around it as well. That’s what I was trying to get to.” \nThen there’s ‘Innocence’\, a song glowing with echoey wonder. “It’s fairly up for me\,” Sital-Singh grins with typical self-deprecation. “I’m really proud of that one. That was a song that took as long to write as it lasts for. I was watching telly with my guitar and it just came out\, pretty much fully formed. I’m not entirely sure what it means\, but I guess it’s about this idea of being born\, losing innocence\, people coming in and out of the world\, changing as they go.” \nThe first taste of ‘Time Is A Riddle’ is the heart-shivering\, spine-tingling ‘Killing Me’\, accompanied by an evocative\, home-made\, typically personal video. \n“It’s me singing as my grandma\, and addressed to my grandfather\, who died ten years ago. She talks about him every day. When I think about it too much it just breaks my heart. So one day I just sat down at the piano and it’s probably the most emotional song I’ve ever written. I almost didn’t include it – I thought it might be too much to release. It’s so sensitive and so close to my heart. Then I thought maybe people will connect with it… \n“But then when it came to the video\, I definitely didn’t want to be singing this song\, prancing around in slow motion. Then by coincidence I took delivery of these digitised cine films that my wife’s late grandfather shot in the Seventies. They were only sent to us because her parents were in the process of moving to Vancouver. And when I watched them\, the nostalgic nature and the parallels with both our grandparents\, it just felt tonally right\, and a little note of serendipity. So I just edited them together and that’s what we’ve got. It’s definitely the most personal song on the record.” \nThen again\, personal is stamped on and through everything Luke Sital-Singh does. Head to iTunes to listen to the very funny ‘Idiot Check’ podcast\, recorded by him and a couple of mates (don’t worry\, it’s free). Head to Spotify and you’ll find a lovely selection of covers of songs from films\, including Radiohead’s ‘Exit Music (For A Film)’ from Baz Luhrmann’s Romeo + Juliet\, Simon & Garfunkel’s ‘Sound Of Silence’ from The Graduate and The Shins’ ‘New Slang’ from Garden State. Storied songs by storied bands from storied movies\, but he makes them all his own. \nLikewise a new selection of covers recently uploaded to Soundcloud: songs as diverse as Toto’s ‘Hold The Line’\, The Faces’ ‘Ooh La La’ and Kate Bush’s ‘This Woman’s Work’ sound reborn and rebooted. \nWhat it all has in common is care\, effort and dedication. It’s Luke Sital-Singh’s way. It’s what makes his music breathe and his songs pulse. “I like things that are well made – things that love has been put into. And not throwaway shite. It’s why I like the Slow Movement. It’s why I like vinyl.” \nIt’s also why he likes Hannah Cousins\, his wife (although presumably that isn’t the only reason). She’s the artist responsible behind the vivid sleeve artwork for ‘Time Is A Riddle’. \n“Hannah’s an illustrator and printmaker\, and we’ve worked together on most of my artwork. She helped set the tone for the initial three EPs\, which then Parlophone bulldozed over for the album art for ‘The Fire Inside’.” \nThe image on the new cover began as a photograph of a wind-bent tree in Donegal\, “which wasn’t just the place I recorded the album – it became a symbol of escape and refreshment”. Cousins\, a skilled linocutter\, then set patiently to work. “The lino process is one of painstaking craftsmanship\, where an image is carved in reverse in a linoleum sheet\, which takes hours and hours. In this case it took Hannah two days. She then carefully inked the lino with an ink roller and pressed it onto paper\, using an Albion press from 1881.” \nIn the same spirit\, Sital-Singh is finessing a series of special filmed performances in the studios\, workshops\, foundries and ateliers of a host of crafts people he’s connected with up and down the country. Watch this (bespoke) space for collaborations with a ceramicist in Glasgow\, a knife-maker in Derby and a stained glass designer in Devon. \nBut for now\, here’s ‘Time Is A Riddle’. A record where you can smell the graft\, see the joins and hear the sweat on the frets – and the occasional live-recording misstep. It’s that real. Luke Sital-Singh wouldn’t have it any other way. As he said in that summer ’16 letter\, “the effort was justified. Like a long run up a steep hill. \n“I’ve reached the top now. I’m catching my breath. My heart is pounding. And as I look back down\, I am proud of each and every step that it’s taken.”

SUMMARY:John Carpenter: Anthology Tour
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. 8/25 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  \n  \n*** \nJohn Carpenter \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nJohn Carpenter has announced Anthology: Movie Themes 1974-1998\, a collection of 13 of his classic movie themes newly recorded with the collaborators that worked on his Lost Themes studio albums and subsequent tours: his son\, Cody Carpenter\, and godson\, Daniel Davies. Set for release on October 20 via Sacred Bones\, Anthology… is a near-comprehensive survey of John Carpenter’s greatest themes\, from his very first movie (the no-budget sci-fi film Dark Star) to 1998’s supernatural Western\, Vampires. Those sit alongside the driving\, Led Zeppelin-influenced Assault on Precinct 13 theme\, Halloween’s iconic 5/4 piano riff\, and the eerie synth work of The Fog. Carpenter and his band also cover Ennio Morricone’s bleak\, minimalist theme for The Thing. “I asked Morricone to please compose something with a very few notes\,” Carpenter says. “And brilliantly\, he did.” \nTo accompany the announcement\, Carpenter has shared the theme from 1994’s “In The Mouth of Madness”. Reminiscing on the original composition he states\, “I worked on the soundtrack for In the Mouth of Madness with Jim Lang. We never came up with a great main title theme. In a rented house on Woodrow Wilson (my house was being remodeled)\, I came up with a heavy metal theme inspired by Metallica’s “Enter Sandman.” My friend Dave Davies played lead guitar\, and now\, over 20 years later\, his son Daniel is playing the lead. One of my favorite themes.” \nJohn Carpenter is a legend. As the director and composer behind dozens of classic movies\, Carpenter has established a reputation as one of the greatest filmmakers in the history of modern cinema\, as well as one of its most influential musicians. The minimal\, synthesizer-driven themes to films like Halloween\, Escape From New York\, and Assault on Precinct 13 are as indelible as their images\, and their timelessness was evident as Carpenter performed them live in a string of internationally sold-out concert dates in 2016. \nIn the weeks following Anthology’s October 20 release\, Carpenter will return to the road\, playing both classic movie themes and material from his two Lost Themes albums. Tickets for the tour go on sale this Friday at 10:00am local time\, including special VIP packages that include meet and greets with John  Carpenter and exclusive merchandise (for more details check www.theofficialjohncarpenter.com). The performances will once again affirm the power of the Horror Master’s brilliant work as a composer and musician\, and undoubtedly send audiences rushing home to their DVD libraries to dive yet again into the most rewarding filmography in genre cinema.

SUMMARY:[SOLD OUT] Saint Motel
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 6:30 pm / Show: 7:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. \nThis show is SOLD OUT \n*** \n \n*** \nSaint Motel \n \nThe year before making their breakthrough with a mainstage performance at Coachella and the chart topping single “My Type\,” Saint Motel had planned to host an event of their own called “saintmotelevision”—a multimedia spectacular of music\, dance\, comedy\, art\, and more that was shut down by authorities before it even took place. “That crazy mixture of worlds and ideas is something we’ve always gravitated toward\,” says front man A/J Jackson in reflecting on the original saintmotelevision. “We’ve always been fans of strange combinations\, and that glorious yet doomed event became a symbol of all that.” So when it came time to create their forthcoming full-length debut for Elektra\, the band reclaimed the name saintmotelevision and\, in the end\, dreamed up an album as magnificently kaleidoscopic as that mythic party itself. \nFeaturing production from the likes of Lars Stalfors (Cold War Kids) and Tim Pagnotta (Walk The Moon)—as well as from Jackson\, in and around the band’s own studio in downtown L.A.—saintmotelevision builds off 2014’s My Type EP with a sound even more expansive and artfully genre-blurring. And with its effervescent melodies and shapeshifting grooves\, the album emerges as a beautifully alchemized piece of alt-pop\, every bit the “channel-surfing odyssey” its namesake was meant to be. \nLead single “Move” serves as saintmotelevision’s opening track\, a psych-rock-tinged dancefloor anthem with a chorus so catchy that—during Saint Motel’s raucous sets at summer festivals like Lollapalooza and Bonnaroo—audience members instantly shouted along despite never having heard the song before. In the lyric video for “Move\,” Saint Motel have also unveiled their latest undertaking as a decidedly visually-oriented group: the so-called “virtualizer\,” which combines 360° animation and virtual reality technology that allows each viewer a chance to experience the music in a fully immersive manner. \nThroughout saintmotelevision\, the band transforms their infinite inspirations into songs that radiate an electric\, unabashed joy. On “Getaway\,” for instance\, Saint Motel shape their fascination with Donna Summers’ “I Feel Love” into a shimmering\, intensely charged pop number powered by massive piano riffs. With “Destroyer” (as in “I don’t break hearts\, I destroy them”)\, the band echoes the seductive danger in the song’s lyrics by bringing in some fantastically trashed-up horns a la Exile on Main St.–era Rolling Stones. Meanwhile\, on “Sweet Talk\,” Saint Motel channel Iggy Pop-inspired swagger into a stomp-and-clap-driven heavy-hitter destined for sing-along status. \nJust as inventive in its lyrical element\, saintmotelevision brilliantly twists together melancholy and levity in songs like “Local Long Distance Relationship (LA2NY)” (a brightly wistful meditation on love in a social-media-crazed era and on being with “someone who’s physically there with you but mentally far away\,” according to Jackson). One of saintmotelevision’s starkest moments\, “Born Again” calls on an L.A.-based gospel choir to help convey the track’s enigmatic message. ‘Born Again’ rides the line between two worlds\, so you can’t really tell which way to take it.” And on “For Elise\,” Saint Motel play on the mystery of Beethoven’s immortal beloved by paying rhapsodic tribute to the legendary muses behind songs like the Kinks’ “Lola” and Lou Reed’s “Walk on the Wild Side.” \nPassion for eclecticism has always been at the heart of Saint Motel\, a band founded by Jackson and guitarist Aaron Sharp: film-school classmates whose longtime friendship had its roots in a shared appreciation of obscurist cinema and mutually adventurous musical tastes that include everything from Imperial Teen to Beethoven’s 7th Symphony\, 2nd Movement. After bringing bass player Dak Lerdamornpong and drummer Greg Erwin into the fold\, the band released their debut EP ForPlay in 2009 and began hosting a series of “experiential concerts” with such themes as Zombie Prom and Judgment Day. “We played in half-pipes\, semi-trucks\, circuses—pretty much anywhere we could\,” says Jackson. “We just wanted to do what we could to push ourselves beyond our comfort zone\, and give people some kind of big\, crazy experience whenever they came to see us.” \nThanks in part to those one-of-a-kind live shows—and to their critically acclaimed\, independently released 2012 full-length debut Voyeur—Saint Motel steadily built up a devoted underground following throughout their early years. Releasing the My Type EP in summer 2014\, the band saw their fan base grow exponentially as the title track became a top 10 alternative radio smash\, with both the song and its companion video (directed by Jackson himself) each collecting streaming figures in the tens of millions\, and counting. \nNow set for a fall headlining tour—with their past tours including support slots for Arctic Monkeys\, Imagine Dragons\, Band of Skulls\, and Weezer —Saint Motel have discovered a new outlet for their boundary-breaking brand of artistry. With plans of creating virtual-reality-enhanced videos for more tracks from saintmotelevision\, the band hopes to offer an even more immersive way to experience what Nylon recently referred to as “a bright\, dreamy sound that transports listeners to another time and place.” “There’s essentially a new art form there\,” says Jackson of the virtualizer. “But it’s also like when you were younger and bought a new record and went home and put it on\, and you’d sit back and close your eyes and kind of enter the album. This is a whole new way to do that\, where we’re letting people walk into the album and then just live inside it for a while.” \n*** \nGibbz \n \nGIBBZ is a renaissance man. After a childhood spent acting in C list horror movies and ballroom dancing\, he received a “degree” from Berklee College of Music. There he focused on music production\, aiding in his future full time position as an audio engineer. After 5 years on the road and in studios with international touring acts\, he realized being an engineer is a thankless\, miserable existence. Luckily\, his path had led him to working for a crew that went onto form the Lowtemp record label\, including Gramatik and Exmag. They convinced him that it’s OK to drink copious amounts of alcohol and make everyone within a 30 ft radius uncomfortable. Out of this drunken\, obnoxious\, offensive mess of a man\, GIBBZ was born. GIBBZ can now be found singing and dancing to his own brand of electro pop\, recently touring with the likes of Cherub\, Ghost Beach and The Floozies.

DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 7:00 pm / Show: 8:00 pm \nThis event is open to All Ages. \nSOLD OUT \nPlease note\, due to unforeseen circumstances\, Emma Ruth Rundle will be dropping off of the tour. They will be replaced by pronoun as the opener for this show.  \n*** \n \n*** \nTurnover \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nFront man Austin Getz doesn’t blink when asked to sum up Turnover’s third full-length\, Good Nature. “Learning\,” he replies. “This whole record is about learning. Opening your eyes to new things\, going outside of your comfort zone\, and learning to grow into something new.”\nTurnover’s previous full-length\, 2015’s Peripheral Vision\, won acclaim for showcasing a dreamier side of the band’s melodically-charged sound; Billboard noted that “the quartet has morphed into a moody\, atmospheric indie rock band\, without losing its knack for hooks.” As easy as it might have been to replicate that success for its third album\, the band resisted the urge to play it safe.\n“It can be hard to be honest with yourself sometimes when it comes to creativity\,” Austin admits. Excited by the opportunities for personal and creative growth the band experienced in the wake of Peripheral Vision\, they worked hard to strike a balance for its follow-up\, “writing good songs but pushing boundaries\, without getting strange just for the sake of being strange.”\nAs the range of textures\, tempos\, and dynamics on Good Nature hints\, the members of Turnover have been listening to a wider range of musical styles over the past couple years. Vintage Southern soul and blues\, Bossa nova and cool jazz\, electronic music\, and psychedelic grooves all filtered into the mix.\n“The new record definitely has a different rhythmic feel because of that\,” he observes. “The melodies we wrote for this record are very different\, much less linear. They’re much more soulful and move around a lot.”\nListening to how the leisurely “Nightlight Girl” melts into a more propulsive selection like “Breeze\,” and the way Good Nature flows together as a seamless whole\, it’s also evident that the foursome has been paying closer attention to how artists from earlier eras made full-length albums. “The Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds has become one of my top five favorites of all time\,” says Austin\, citing not only the quality of the individual selections\, but also the careful sequencing and use of space in the arrangements.\n“I read a huge article on Frank Ocean toward the end of writing Good Nature\, talking about taking his time on his records and being patient with the process\, and that really inspired me\, too.”\nAt the same time Austin and his cohorts were opening up their ears\, they were opening up their understanding of themselves too: “A big chunk of the record is learning to be happy.” Not full-throttle exuberance\, but something much more subtle and satisfying. The almost beatific radiance that imbues Good Nature comes from a place of calm and contentment\, nurtured by looking inward.\n“Peripheral Vision was mostly a record about feeling emptiness and not knowing what to do. This one is about the steps I took after feeling those things\, and where those steps took me\, and learning to try to love the emptiness.”\nThe album’s unique blend of musical and spiritual growth is immediately audible on the opening track\, “Super Natural\,” a late-summer idyll of intertwined guitar parts and laidback vocals. “More than anything else\, love has the ability to teach people selflessness\,” says Austin. “That song is specifically about just one type of love\, romantic love\, and how it became almost meditative for me. It made me feel so relaxed\, but at the same time I could feel it was something so big … it’s ‘super natural’ and it’s ‘supernatural.'”\nFrom the flora and fauna that adorn its cover\, to song titles like “Butterfly Dream” and “Sunshine Type\,” the natural world also plays a pivotal role in Turnover’s latest. “Nature is a huge theme\, because nature has been the teacher in my life when it comes to many things.”\nTo record Good Nature\, Turnover reunited with longtime producer Will Yip. Together\, they spent more time in the studio than on any previous Turnover record\, devoting hours of pre-production to methodically going through the new songs\, fine-tuning parts and writing additional melodies. The bulk of the lyrics\, however\, were finalized during the band’s 2016 European tour. “That was a beautiful atmosphere to be doing it in – and the most intense experience I’ve ever had as a writer.”\nTurnover formed in 2009 in Virginia Beach\, VA and has gone on to tour extensively throughout North America\, Europe\, Australia\, and Japan. Their discography includes three full-length albums and countless EPs and split-singles\, including last year’s Humblest Pleasures EP. “It’s really cool to see all the change\, from the first songs we ever wrote\, right up to Good Nature\,” concludes Austin. Eight years into their career\, Turnover sound better than ever. Slip on your headphones\, open up your ears\, and learn for yourself what the excitement is all about. \n*** \nElvis Depressedly \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nIn many ways\, new alhambra is an auditory homage to what has shaped lead singer Mathew Lee Cothran’s life. Its title\, as any hardcore pro-wrestling fan will recognize\, credits the Philadelphia arena that birthed its most legendary and extreme version of it\, and the use of samples from wrestling shows and late night televangelists serve as a reference to his upbringing. The album was characteristically made with outdated equipment and limited by only one microphone\, with Mike “Dr. Vink” Roberts playing an essential role on bass that enriches the rockier resonation in comparison to elvis depressedly’s previous releases. Cothran and Delaney were constantly on the move during the recording process thanks to their new found career freedom\, but none of it takes away from new alhambra fully texturized shift toward brightly melancholic noise-pop inspired by Cothran’s favorite un- sung heroes such as Waterboys\, Prefab Sprout and Emperor X. \npronoun \n \n[Website] [Facebook]

SUMMARY:Kamasi Washington
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nDoors: 7:30 pm / Show: 8:30 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.\nTickets on sale now! \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*** \nKamasi Washington \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nWhen Kamasi Washington released his tour de force LP\, The Epic\, in 2015\, it instantly set him on a path as a torchbearer for progressive\, improvisational music that would open the door for new audiences to experience music unlike anything they had heard before. The 172-minute odyssey featuring his 10-piece band\, The Next Step\, was littered with elements of hip-hop\, classical and R&B music\, all major influences on the young saxophonist and bandleader\, who exceeds any notions of what “jazz” music is. \nReleased to critical acclaim\, The Epic won numerous “best of” awards\, including the American Music Prize and the Gilles Peterson Worldwide album of the year. Washington followed that work with collaborations with other influential artists such as Kendrick Lamar\, Run the Jewels\, Ibeyi\, and John Legend\, and the creation of “Harmony of Difference\,” a standalone multimedia installation during the 2017 Biennial at the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York City. \nThe fulfillment of Washington’s destiny begin when at age 13\, Washington picked up his musician father’s horn and proceeded to play the Wayne Shorter composition “Sleeping Dancer Sleep On” despite never touching a saxophone or knowing how to play. After deciding to commit to his instrument\, he became\, lead tenor saxophone chair at the Academy of Music and Performing Arts at Alexander Hamilton High School\,\, where he started his first band—Young Jazz Giants—with pianist Cameron Graves\, Thundercat\, and Ronald Bruner\, Jr. \nWashington received a full scholarship to the University of California at Los Angeles\, where he studied ethnomusicology. He recorded his first album with Young Jazz Giants during the summer following his freshman year. The quartet’s self-titled debut was dripping with maturity well beyond the players’ collective age\, and with Washington penning four of the album’s seven original songs\, became a platform to spread the “now” sound of jazz all around the country. \nFollowing his sophomore year at UCLA\, Washington went on his first national tour with West Coast hip-hop legend Snoop Dogg\, performing alongside some of the most talented young musicians in the country. Later that year\, the young saxophonist joined the orchestra of Gerald Wilson\, one of his biggest heroes. After graduation\, Washington toured with Grammy Award-winning producer\, singer and songwriter Raphael Saadiq\, and later that year\, returned to Wilson’s band on the album In My Time. \nHis mass appeal continues to grow drawing vibrant\, diverse\, multi-generational crowds to his shows at the world’s most prominent festivals such as Coachella\, Glastonbury\, Fuji Rock\, Bonnaroo and Primavera. A prominent journalist recently summed it up best when he wrote “in a millennium largely absent of anything new or captivating in the jazz idiom\, Washington has just unleashed a musical hydra grounded in respect and intimate knowledge of the past and striking far out into a hopeful future.” Next up for Washington is the highly anticipated Harmony of Difference EP\, due for release this Fall and his sophomore album slated for 2018. \n*** \nCC & The Catastrophe \n \nWebsite\nFacebook \nCC & The Catastrophe is a ten-piece pop big-band that was formed in 2016 by singer/songwriter Caroline Carlson. The group is based out of Boston\, Massachusetts and is home to both current and past students of the Berklee College of Music. The group has been around the Boston gigging scene for awhile now\, headlining with acts such as Pineapple Jam\, Elijah Ford\, Fight the Moon\, TEGA\, and many others. They released their debut single “Blow” last spring which quickly reached 10k views in just 1.5 weeks.

SUMMARY:American Football
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.\nTickets on sale Fri. 7/14 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*** \nAmerican Football \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nA record comes to represent and trigger a specific era in the listener\, an unchanging document against which people can measure their own evolution and feel returned to not only their own season with this record\, but also the imagined landscape and lives of the artists. \nThat American Football’s first record continued to resonate with an ever­expanding coalition of new listeners long after their brief existence is proof of the skillfulness and subtlety with which they could express themselves as undergrads. And that mysterious aura is a lot to live up to. People have had almost twenty years to live alongside that album. And now\, in a flash\, their body of work doubles. \nThat first record was made in complete innocence and obscurity\, and even naivety. But now\, could anyone even count how many different instruments in how many different bands Mike and Nate Kinsella have played? The simple addition of bass goes a long way in rounding out and deepening the overall sound. Tightened and confident\, they hit every pickup and hiccup\, ably executing what they always intended to\, but on a bigger scale. \nWith an easy­breezy shuffle\, they balance Jackson Brown and Steely Dan with rushing\, clicky rhythms under sweeping chord progressions woven out of arpeggios and harmonics. Every drum­fill is like a polite interjection\, perfectly considered\, but disruptive and propulsive nonetheless. \nAnd though they summon a sustained mood beginning to end\, moments of detailed attention abound: the cool strut of “Born to Lose”; the big­clap breakdown and Phil Collins fills of “I’ve Been Lost For So Long”; the 80s­radio pop of “Desire Gets in the Way”; and on “Instincts are The Enemy” even the bridge gets a turn being foregrounded. \nThe record opens as if daring the listener to enter\, locating the space that the record exists in—a return to that same iconic house\, made strange by returning to it. Mike notes the lock on the door\, and establishes the central tension that will propel the record’s narrative: “what if I wasn’t afraid to say what I mean?” The confused singer battles his own appetites\, though as listeners we all know that it is engaging them in battle that gives the appetites their power. War declared on one’s own instincts is the battle to conform to the expectations of adulthood\, to sand down as many edges as possible to fulfill one’s responsibilities to others\, while cleaving to the little bit of grit one needs to retain one’s sense of identity. \n*** \nPure Bathing Culture \n \nWebsite\nFacebook\nTwitter \nTo hear Sarah Versprille and Daniel Hindman tell it\, their Portland\, OR-based band Pure Bathing Culture has always evolved naturally and at a steady pace. “That’s really the path we’ve been on as a band\, always putting one foot in front of the other as opportunities presented themselves\,” Versprille said. “The music just revealed itself to us as we kept going.”\nBut for Pure Bathing Culture’s second album\, Pray for Rain\, the band has taken a big leap forward. You can hear it from the opening notes of their anthemic title track: in Hindman’s clean yet serpentine guitar lines interacting with the live rhythm section and Versprille’s lucid vocals cutting through it all as she asks: “Is it pleasure? Is it pain? Did you pray for rain?” Pray for Rain is the sound of the group confidently taking a step up to the next level and finding their footing as a true band.\n“We needed to make a big step and our version of that was to cut the cord from our previous albums\,” Hindman said of the process\, then confesses: “I was nervous all the way through. It was nerve-wracking and almost antagonizing at times.”\nThe roots of Pure Bathing Culture stretch back to 1999\, when Versprille and Hindman befriended one another on the first day of freshman orientation at William Patterson University in Wayne\, New Jersey. A decade later\, they became bandmates when they both joined Vetiver for their Sub-Pop albums Tight Knit and The Errant Charm. It was while playing in Vetiver that Pure Bathing Culture emerged as its own entity.\n“Dan was working on some instrumentals that he would make on a looping pedal\,” Sarah said. “One night he was out and I just listened to this loop and wrote some lyrics to it. He came home and I showed it to him. We laughed at first\, as we didn’t have some grand plan to start a band. It just happened naturally.” That song “Lucky One\,” wound up in the hands of Richard Swift\, who encouraged the duo to keep writing. “Richard pushed us along and became an inspiration\,” Dan said. Swift wound up producing the band’s first EP and dreamy full-length\, 2013’s Moon Tides at his National Freedom studio.\nFrom there\, PBC evolved from simply being the product of Versprille and Hindman writing songs in their own home to hitting the road as a full touring band. “Sarah and I conceptualize music and then write so it’s a pretty fragile state\,” Hindman said. “Playing live was a huge change for us.”\nWhen it came time to write and record their follow-up to Moon Tides\, the duo knew what they didn’t want. “We didn’t gravitate towards someone making indie dream-pop records\,” Dan said. That was when producer John Congleton (St. Vincent\, Swans\, Angel Olsen\, The Walkmen) reached out to the band and invited them to come record with him in his Dallas\, TX studio.\n“John pushed us to not make clichés\, to not play into the style of other bands\,” Dan said. The challenges came right away as Congleton pressed the group into unfamiliar and at times uncomfortable territory in the studio. “He tricked me with the guitars on the album\,” Dan said. “We got the basic tracks down and he asked me to do scratch guitar and then John wouldn’t let me go back and do the guitars again. He refused to do any layering.”\nAs a result\, everything on Pray for Rain is pretty much as Pure Bathing Culture actually sounds\, all analog gear\, with virtually no plug-ins or effects added afterwards\, no hiding behind multiple layers. “There aren’t a lot of tricks; What you hear is naturally what’s there\,” Dan said.\nIt was a taxing yet ultimately rewarding experience when the album was completed. “It was shocking to hear what the finished product was\,” Sarah said. “It was like being in a vortex and then we came out with this record.” She adds with a laugh something John Congleton told her when all was said and done: “You were very brave.”\nSarah summarizes the Pray for Rain experience as one of “stepping into the realm of discovering who we are as a band and as songwriters\,” echoing a theme of the album itself\, the process of change and transition. “You can find the best version of yourself in those hardest moments\,” she said. To which Dan adds: “You have to be backed up against the wall in order to really feel those feelings and respond to them.” Pray for Rain is the sound of Pure Bathing Culture transforming from who they were to who they will be\, of finding their way\, ready to take steps both small and momentous on their musical path.
