SUMMARY:Mogwai
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. 3/24 at 10AM! \nTickets available at AXS.COM\, or by phone at 888-929-7849. 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***\n \n*** \nMogwai \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nEight studio albums\, a live album and four compilations\, four soundtracks\, a record label\, and a few blown PAs and dislodged pieces of ceiling over uncountable gigs\, not to mention a series of amusing Twitter accounts reviewing hotels and on-tour dinners. Over the 21 years since they formed with rehearsal after rehearsal rattling Stuart Braithwaite’s living room\, Mogwai might have become one of the most important groups of a fragmented but increasingly potent British musical underground\, but they’ve steadfastly refused to sit back and rest on their laurels. \nIndeed\, you might refer to them as the cockroaches of post rock\, for Mogwai have never split up for a while in favour of a lucrative reunion playing classic albums live\, instead continuing to push themselves and their sound. Then again\, as any cursory listen to their 2015 compilation Central Belters will tell you\, is post rock really a generous enough term to describe what Mogwai do? Over 20 years their one constant has been of a mastery of dynamics\, an embracing both of power and minimalism\, and a willingness to experiment with new instrumentations and technology. Within that though\, one of the most recognisable sonic identities in contemporary music unites the songs as disparate of graceful sung moments like Travel Is Dangerous or epic Black Sabbath temper tantrum My Father My King\, the shimmering\, stately atmosphere of I’m Jim Morrison\, I’m Dead or the burbling kosmische electronics that drive Mexican Grand Prix. \nThe Mogwai of 2017 is a very different group to the four kids who\, in February 1996\, released their debut single Tuner/Lower to a musical climate suffering the appalling hangover of late Britpop. Theirs was a sound of happy accident\, Stuart Braithwaite\, Dominic Aitchison\, Martin Bulloch\, John Cummings and later Barry Burns uniting over shared love of skateboarding\, Star Wars\, The Cure\, and American indie rock to somehow end up with music that was\, and remains\, as affecting as it is powerfully loud\, as sensitive as much as it has the propensity to rip your ears off. Since debut album Young Team the group have always kept their eyes on the future\, playing different sets mostly of new material on each night of their never-ending tours. “It’s better to keep doing what you’re doing right now\,” says Braithwaite. “looking at what’s happened with some other bands it’s hard to get people interested in what you’re doing now once you’ve made a big deal about going back to something from ten or 20 years ago.” \nPart of Mogwai’s progressive zeal is in their continuing independence and support for artists around them. In 2005 they opened their own Castle Of Doom studio\, using it to record four albums as well as opening it up to fellow- travellers Errors\, Malcolm Middleton and The Twilight Sad. Their Rock Action label has not only released Mogwai’s own music since that debut single\, but albums from Blanck Mass\, Sacred Paws\, Afrirampo and Remember Remember\, among others. In a commercial climate that hardly favours independent artists operating outside the mainstream\, Mogwai have always led by example\, doing it it themselves\, where they can. “Someone sent us a flyer of a gig we did with Trout at Nice ’n’ Sleazy in 1996\, and I remembered going round the photocopy shops\, making them\,” Stuart Braithwaite has said.“Even though everything’s on a different scale\, you’re still doing the same thing. It’s still letting people know that you’re playing\, and making sure that all the band members remember there’s a gig that day… there’s nothing different about playing to 2000 people as to playing to 50 people. Just you’re a bit higher up. And you get a dressing room! But really\, it’s the same thing.” \nThis singularity of purpose can also be heard in Mogwai’s soundtrack albums. While Braithwaite has said that when the band first started they’d rather jump off a bridge than take on such a difficult task\, their music for football biopic Zidane and French TV series Les Revenants has been among their finest work. The latest and best is Before The Flood. Mogwai collaborated with Trent Reznor\, Atticus Ross and Argentine film composer Gustavo Santaolalla to create the soundtrack to Leonardo DiCaprio’s 2016 documentary on climate change\, directed by Fisher Stevens and co-created by DiCaprio. \nAtomic was Mogwai’s accompaniment to Mark Cousins’ BBC documentary on the horrors of Hiroshima and the Cold War Arms race. As opponents of the presence of the Royal Navy’s Trident deterrent in Scottish waters\, this was a subject close to Mogwai’s hearts\, and the album gives a lie to the view that instrumental music can’t be political. With the tracklisting slightly rejigged\, the Atomic soundtrack was released as a standalone album in April 2016\, reaching number 20 in the UK charts\, their second-highest ever chart placing. \nMogwai toured Atomic alongside the film\, in the US\, Europe and Japan\, including a show in Hiroshima. In between touring the band wrote and recorded their ninth studio album\, due later this year. The as-yet-untitled record sees them reuniting with producer Dave Fridmann for the first time since 2001’s acclaimed Rock Action LP\, and was recorded at Tarbox Road Studios\, Cassadaga\, New York. Mogwai have announced a massive hometown show at the SSE Hydro\, Glasgow on Saturday 16 December 2017\, in support of the forthcoming album. \nA couple of years ago\, Stuart Braithwaite said of the period recording Young Team that “We were very driven\, and it was definitely an exciting time. Everyone was hyped up and focused\, and a little bit unhinged. It was a wild time in the band.” With the tantalising prospect that Mogwai’s ninth studio album will pick up where Atomic left off\, perhaps some things haven’t really changed at all. \n*** \nXander Harris \n \n[Website] [Facebook] \nHarris is an electronic artist providing a balance between tense atmospherics\, disco and psychedelic flair. His exploration of Giallo landed his well-received debut “Urban Gothic” on Fact Magazine’s Best 50 LPs of 2011. The last year has found the native Texan equipped with a diverse catalog that has taken him across the world.

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
