Merging their production styles seamlessly\, the duo creates a refreshingly original take on electronic music. The live show transcends expectations with Lee’s seasoned trip-hop/dub/jazz vibes on keyboards and Ableton Live and Deitch’s thunderous breakbeat style on drums. \nThis past summer\, Break Science electrified the festival circuit with packed dates across the country\, including huge plays at Spring Awakening\, Detroit Movement\, BUKU\, and Summer Camp. Lee and Deitch also brought their captivating style to Electric Forest\, Bounce\, Camp Bisco\, Hornings Hideout\, Electric Zoo\, Summer Meltdown\, and KahBang festivals\, as well as joining Lotus at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado.  \nOn October 2nd\, the duo released their much-anticipated new album\, Seven Bridges. The first single\, “Who Got It”\, features a collaboration with hip-hop legend REDMAN and meshes the classic sounds of hip-hop with cutting edge electronic production. \n*** \nExmag \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nExmag is for the people!

SUMMARY:Kurt Vile and the Violators
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 NOW! \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*** \nKurt Vile and the Violators \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nHaving been the subject and willing conspirator of many intentional lies planted in Sonic Youth bios over the years\, I know first hand the way album lore can bend reality to its truth. After the infamous Byron Coley originated the SY “Trilogy” myth in the Murray Street bio\, we had no choice but to fulfill those expectations with Sonic Nurse. “Why did you decide to make a trilogy?” was always the first question asked in interviews around that time. \nBut this is Kurt Vile’s bio\, and I wont do that to him. Anyway\, Kurt does his own myth making; a boy/man with an old soul voice in the age of digital everything becoming something else\, which is why this focused\, brilliantly clear and seemingly candid record is a breath of fresh air. Recorded and mixed in a number of locations\, including Los Angeles and Joshua Tree\, b’lieve i’m goin down… is a handshake across the country\, east to west coast\, thru the dustbowl history (“valley of ashes”) of woody honest strait forward talk guthrie\, and a cali canyon dead still nite floating in a nearly waterless landscape. The record is all air\, weightless\, bodyless\, but grounded in convincing authenticity\, in the best version of singer songwriter upcycling. In Kurt’s words\, “I wanted to get back into the habit of writing a sad song on my couch\, with nobody waiting on me. I really wanted it to sound like it’s on my couch — not in a lo-fi way\, just more unguarded and vulnerable.” \nFor a record that plays like a cohesive acoustic experience\, its musicality marks Kurt’s departure from an electric guitar experience to include a range of instrumentation with a large group of players. From the banjo he plays on “I’m an Outlaw” to the piano and lapsteel on “Life Like This\,” and the myriad other instruments on other songs\, including farfisa\, resonator\, arps\, horns and synth\, one never thinks about what exactly yr listening to as it all serves the song.

The heart of the record is “Stand Inside.” The music is quiet and the melody\, like a hymn\, folds in on itself\, and embraces full strength in a sexy\, floating forcelessness that slowly gathers into a wave that doesn’t go where you think it will or rather gives in to itself and celebrates a man willing to be defined by a woman and his love for her as witness to each other’s lives… Don’t stand by my side\, stand inside gives up roleplaying for true exposure and vulnerability. \nIt’s a weird\, accepting\, mature record\, acknowledging the inherent immaturity of being a person whether father\, husband\, partner\, adult\, musician\, not perfect\, but compelling for its understanding … that’s life though so sad to say… I love this record\, \nb’lieve i’m goin down. \nKim Gordon \n*** \nWoods \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \n“Woods have always been experts at distilling life epiphanies into compact chunks of psychedelic folk that exists just outside of any sort of tangible time or place. Maybe those epiphanies were buried under cassette manipulation or drum-and-drone freakouts\, or maybe they were cloaked in Jeremy Earl’s lilting falsetto\, but over the course of an impressive eight albums\, Woods refined and drilled down their sound into City Sun Eater in the River of Light\, their ninth LP and second recorded in a proper studio. It’s a dense record of rippling guitar\, lush horns\, and seductive\, bustling anxiety about the state of the world. It’s still the Woods you recognize\, only now they’re dabbling in zonked out Ethiopian jazz\, pulling influence from the low key simmer of Brown Rice\, and tapping into the weird dichotomy of making a home in a claustrophobic city that feels full of possibility even as it closes in on you. City Sun Eater in the River of Light is concise\, powerful\, anxious—barreling headlong into an uncertain\, constantly shifting new world.” -Sam Hockley-Smith \n*** \nNathan Bowles \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nNathan Bowles is a multi-instrumentalist musician and teacher living in the Piedmont of North Carolina. His work\, both as an accomplished solo artist and as a sought-after ensemble player\, explores the rugged country between the poles of Appalachian old-time traditions and ecstatic\, minimalist drone. Although his recent solo recordings prominently feature his virtuosic banjo\, Bowles is also widely recognized as a masterful and versatile drummer\, and he considers himself first and foremost a percussionist\, with banjo as a natural extension of his percussive practice.  \nHe and his bandmates in the popular and critically acclaimed old-time group the Black Twig Pickers steep themselves in local traditions of Appalachian folk music and dance\, very much a vital part of cultural life in their region of Virginia. As a member of the long-running improvisational drone outfit Pelt\, Bowles focuses on the various sonic possibilities inherent in struck and bowed percussion—metal\, wood\, skin\, or otherwise. When playing by his lonesome under his birthname\, he prefers either minimal and hyper-nuanced percussive drone or tranced-out solo clawhammer banjo. He currently records and tours as part of Steve Gunn’s band\, the Outliners. Bowles has also recorded\, collaborated\, and performed with\, Jack Rose\, Hiss Golden Messenger\, Black Dirt Oak\, Scott Verrastro\, Pigeons\, Spiral Joy Band\, and others.  \nOn his exquisite third solo album\, Whole & Cloven\, Nathan again augments his mesmeric clawhammer banjo pieces with piano\, percussion\, and vocals. Instead of the programmatic place-based narratives of its predecessor Nansemond (PoB-16)\, Whole & Cloven offers a stoic meditation on absence\, loss\, and fragmentation\, populating those experiential gaps—the weighty interstices and places in-between—with stillness and wonder. Straddling Appalachian string band music and avant-garde composition but beholden to neither idiom\, Nathan proves himself heir to deconstructivist tradition-bearers like Henry Flynt and Jack Rose.

SUMMARY:Drive-By Truckers
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston presents \nRESCHEDULED FROM THU. FEBRUARY 9TH. ALL PREVIOUSLY PURCHASED TICKETS HONORED.  \nPlease note: Kyle Craft will no longer be on this show. \nDoors: 8:00 pm / Drive-By Truckers: 9:00 pm\nSet times subject to change. \nThis event is 18 and over. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian. \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*** \nDrive-By Truckers \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nDrive-By Truckers have always been outspoken\, telling a distinctly American story via craft\, character\, and concept\, all backed by sonic ambition and social conscience. Founded in 1996 by singer/songwriter/guitarists Mike Cooley and Patterson Hood\, the band have long held a progressive fire in their belly but with AMERICAN BAND\, they have made the most explicitly political album in their extraordinary canon. A powerful and legitimately provocative work\, hard edged and finely honed\, the album is the sound of a truly American Band – a Southern American band – speaking on matters that matter. DBT made the choice to direct the Way We Live Now head on\, employing realism rather than subtext or symbolism to purge its makers’ own anger\, discontent\, and frustration with societal disintegration and the urban/rural divide that has partitioned the country for close to a half-century. Master songwriters both\, Hood and Cooley wisely avoid overt polemics to explore such pressing issues as race\, income inequality\, the NRA\, deregulation\, police brutality\, Islamophobia\, and the plague of suicides and opioid abuse. As a result\, songs like “What It Means” and the tub-thumping “Kinky Hypocrites” are intensely human music from a rock ‘n’ roll band yearning for community and collective action. Fueled by a just spirit of moral indignation and righteous rage\, AMERICAN BAND is protest music fit for the stadiums\, designed to raise issues and ire as the nation careens towards its most momentous election in a generation. \n“I don’t want there to be any doubt as to which side of this discussion we fall on\,” Hood says. “I don’t want there to be any misunderstanding of where we stand. If you don’t like it\, you can leave. It’s okay. We’re not trying to be everybody’s favorite band\, we’re going to be who we are and do what we do and anyone who’s with us\, we’d love to have them join in.” \nMike Cooley is somewhat more direct. “I wanted this to be a no bones about it\, in your face political album\,” he says. “I wanted to piss off the assholes.” \nAMERICAN BAND’s considerable force can in part be credited to the sheer musical strength of the current Drive-By Truckers line-up\, with Hood and Cooley joined by bassist Matt Patton\, keyboardist/multi-instrumentalist Jay Gonzalez\, and drummer Brad Morgan – together\, the longest-lasting iteration in the band’s two-decade history. AMERICAN BAND follows ENGLISH OCEANS and 2015’s IT’S GREAT TO BE ALIVE!\, marking the first time DBT have made three consecutive LPs with the same hard-traveling crew. \n“This is the longest period of stability in our band’s history\,” says Hood. “I think we finally hit the magic formula. It’s made everything more fun than it’s ever been\, making records and playing shows.” \nDrive-By Truckers might have maintained constancy but Hood embraced change by moving his family to Portland\, OR in July 2015\, a physical shift which he says “opened the floodgates” to a batch of deeply felt\, strikingly emotional new songs. Having recorded the bulk of their canon in Athens\, GA\, the band was also eager to reinvent their own surroundings. Memphis was considered but when DBT’s November 2015 tour wrapped in Nashville\, the band decided to spend a few days at the legendary Sound Emporium getting a head start on the new record. \nNever ones to screw around in the studio\, DBT cranked out nine new songs in just three 14-hour shifts\, as ever with producer/engineer David Barbe at the helm. Coming in directly from the road put a head of steam behind the band\, allowing them to lay it all out live on the floor\, tracking songs like “Once They Banned Imagine” in little more than a single take. \n“We realized we had most of the record\,” Hood says\, “so we went back after the holidays for four more days\, but ended up finishing it in three. We tend to usually take about two weeks to make a record so this was really quick.” \n“That was a lot of fun\,” the Alabama-based Cooley says\, “and a shorter drive for me.” \nSpeed was of the essence\, as DBT was determined to get their record out at the height of the 2016 election season. By their very nature\, Drive-By Truckers has always been an inherently political act\, “but this is the first time it’s been out there on the surface\,” Cooley says\, “No bones about it.” \n“I’ve always considered our band to be political\,” Hood says. “I’ve studied and followed politics since I was a small kid. I got in trouble in third grade for a paper I wrote about Watergate – the teacher sent a note home to my parents saying I was voicing opinions about our president that she didn’t appreciate. That’s the one time I got in trouble at school where my parents sided with me.” \n“SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA was a pretty political record\,” Cooley says. “But we hadn’t had our first black president yet. We hadn’t sat in the bleachers and watched the backlash\, which\, as acquainted as we are with racism\, went beyond what anyone imagined it would be.” \nPolitical matters reared their head on 2014’s ENGLISH OCEANS\, most explicitly on Cooley’s “Made Up English Oceans\,” detailing the life and crimes of late Republican black ops master Lee Atwater. Hood further sharpened his own skills by penning an op-ed for the New York Times condemning the Confederate Flag and its vile role in Southern culture. \n“That was a major learning experience\,” he says. “Working with an editor\, how to streamline what I’m trying to say\, how to find the most powerful part and get rid of some of the excess. It was really grueling but I was eager to take it on and learn as much as I could from it.” \nHood delivered a finished draft to the Old Gray Lady and within moments\, wrote the ferocious “Darkened Flags On The Cusp Of Dawn” on a borrowed guitar – his own gear in a moving van on its way to his family’s new home in Portland. The song\, like so much of the album\, is a direct response to 2014’s police shootings of unarmed African-Americans\, a moment both Hood and Cooley see as the catalyst for their blunt new approach. Long haunted by the police shooting of a mentally ill neighbor in his former hometown of Athens\, GA\, Hood wrote “What It Means” in the heat of Ferguson\, Staten Island\, and the subsequent emergence of the Black Lives Matter movement. \n“It was all in my head and just kind of bubbling at the surface\,” Hood says. “I think we knew early on that was the direction this record was going to go in.” \nHood’s friend and collaborator for more than half their lives\, Cooley was a on similar trip\, reading\, writing\, and pondering the very same issues that rend the country in two. \n“We have conversations about all this stuff\,” he says\, “but not necessarily in terms of planning an album or anything. Then we go home\, he writes a song\, I write a song\, and they’re both basically about the same thing.” \n“We tend to come to the same conclusions separately but together\,” Hood says. “We don’t really discuss it until we have a bunch of songs. We’ve always been astounded at how much common ground our songs have\, record after record. SOUTHERN ROCK OPERA is the only time we discussed a game plan for what we were going to write\, the only time. It’s kind of uncanny. Truly a beautiful thing.” \nFurther creative inspiration came from a pair of American milestone pieces of art\, Ta-Nehisi Coates’ National Book Award-winning Between The World and Me and Kendrick Lamar’s TO PIMP A BUTTERFLY\, “in my opinion\, the greatest musical work of our current time\,” says Hood. \n“It’s an inspiring album and one that made me question myself\,” he says. “I’m a white guy from the South\, do I have the right to be singing about this stuff? What can I do? The only conclusion I could come up with was maybe white guys\, with Southern accents\, who look like rednecks\, need to say Black Lives Matter too. It’s a start\, a tiny start\, but a step in the right direction is better than no step at all.” \n“I couldn’t not do it\,” says Cooley. “I’ve got to speak about this stuff\, somehow or another. And I’m going to speak about it from a middle aged Southern white working class evangelical background male point of view.” \nMuch like Lamar’s GRAMMY® Award-winning song cycle\, AMERICAN BAND serves as a stark\, tightly focused snapshot of today’s America\, an exemplary illustration of rock ‘n’ roll as a vehicle for social commentary and clear-eyed reportage. “Guns of Umpqua” captures Hood’s reaction to the 2015 shooting at Roseburg\, OR’s Umpqua Community College while Cooley’s breakneck “Ramon Casiano” is a topical folk rocker telling the little known tale of former National Rife Association leader Harlon Carter and the murder of 15-year-old Ramon Casiano. Known as “Mr. NRA\,” Carter transformed the organization from its original role as a sportsmen and conservationist group into what Cooley correctly declares “a right wing\, white supremacist gun cult.” A Southern-rooted band opening their album with such a song makes for a singularly powerful statement\, the NRA’s monolithic control of the debate demanding opposing artists to be as overt and vocal on the issue as possible. \n“The NRA needs to be turned into a political turd in a swimming pool\,” Cooley says\, “so all these fuckers will start paddling away. \n“What I’m trying to do is point straight to the white supremacist core of gun culture\,” Cooley concludes. “That’s what it is and that’s where its roots are. When gun culture thinks about all the threats they need to be armed against\, what color are they?” \nOf course the personal can also be politic\, represented here by Hood’s deeply felt “Baggage.” Penned the night of Robin Williams’ death\, the song sees Hood examining his own demons and long bout with depression\, “the worst I’ve had as an older adult\,” he says. “I was kind of blindsided by it. There had always been a tangible thing that I could point to as to what was wrong\, but this time I was grasping for something and not quite finding it.” \nAMERICAN BAND is surprisingly optimistic thanks to Hood’s “absolutely” improved mental health as well as Drive-By Truckers’ passion for the issues behind the material. The band intend to hit the road harder than ever in support of AMERICAN BAND\, bringing their songs to the people as they have always done\, only this time with the country’s very future at stake. Fortunately for America\, Drive-By Truckers are\, as a Great Man once said\, fired up\, ready to go. \n“I feel like Cooley and I both nailed what were going for on every song on this record\,” Hood says. “I don’t think there’s a wasted line or word on this record. There’s nothing I would change\, that’s for sure. I think we got this one right.” \n“I’m sure there will be people saying ‘I wish they’d keep the politics out of it\,’” Cooley says\, “but one of the characteristics among the people and institutions we are taking to task in these songs is their self-appointed status as the exclusive authority on what American is. What is American enough and who the real Americans are. Putting AMERICAN BAND right out front is our way of reclaiming the right to define our American identity on our own terms\, and show that it’s out of love of country that we draw our inspiration.

SUMMARY:Lee Fields & The Expressions
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.\nTickets on sale Fri. 11/18 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*** \nLee Fields & The Expressions \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \n“I feel that every human being’s purpose is to do what their inner voice says to do\,” says Lee Fields. “And my inner voice\, my driving force\, wants me to put out music and keeping making better records.” \nApologies to the late\, great James Brown\, but you’d be hard pressed to find another singer who’s ever worked as hard as Fields\, a man who’s been making soul and funk anthems since 1969. \nSince that time\, Fields has toured the world with musical legends like Kool and the Gang\, Sammy Gordon and the Hip-Huggers\, O.V Wright\, Darrell Banks\, and Little Royal. Recorded with French house DJ/producer Martin Solveig. And somehow found a newer\, younger audience and become more prolific as the years transpire. \n“In a curious case of musical evolution\, the older Fields becomes\, the closer he gets to perfecting the sound of soul that he grew up with as a young man\,” noted NPR music writer Oliver Wang (and that was back in 2009).. Now Fields returns with his most triumphant and honest record yet\, Special Night\, recorded with The Expressions and released on Brooklyn’s Big Crown Records. \nSpecial Night follows the the critical success of his Truth & Soul recordings My World\, Faithful Man and 2014’s Emma Jean — the last one American Songwriter hailing as “more than just a stroll down memory lane … it’s the sound of a man who understands his musical strengths and plays to them with class\, authority and soul searching intensity.” \nYou’ll hear Fields flexing those strengths on Special Night. There’s some JB-style funk on there. And hints of Stax\, Chess\, Fame and Motown. \nBut this is not a throwback. Possessing a voice that’s equally raucous and tender\, Fields crafts a truly honest\, soulful work. “This is a record about what people do in real life\,” says the singer. For one example\, he cites the yearning “Work to Do\,” which entails a “a guy going to counseling\, drinking too much\, apologizing to the old lady and trying to keep family together\, doing the manly thing.” \nAdds Fields: “When I record\, I make every song like I actually mean it. I mean every word I say. On Special Night I’m talking to my lady — literally\, expressing the way I feel. You can tell if a song is real or not. And every moment I’m recording\, those moments are real.” \nMeanwhile\, album standout “Make This World” works both as militaristic funk and a cautionary tale about the health of the planet. “The world was designed to last indefinitely\,” says Fields. \n“And we’re the only living species on Earth who can alter that process. I’m hoping that song has a chain reaction\, helps somebody put into action whatever contribution they can to change what the world is going through.” \nFields and his six-piece band will tour in the fall\, where he notes the audiences seem tgrowing and changing. “I’m seeing a younger crowd\,” he notes. “And that’s a blessing.” \nAs for his late success? Fields regrets nothing. “I was already talking to myself in the beginning of my career about the end of my career\,” he says. “I was a little naive\, so I told myself\, ‘Think about the future in every song you make. Make things you can live with. Everything you do has consequences.’ And today\, I live like I’ve always lived.” \nA credo that continues with Special Night. “All the songs on that record have special meaning\,” he says. “I hope people take a good listen to it and find the magic.” \n*** \nThe Shacks \n \n[Website] [Facebook] \nThe Shacks — equal parts Max Shrager and Shannon Wise singing in her soft whispered voice — sound like they’re playing alone with nobody watching. This dreamy\, voyeuristic sound was born in a Queens\, NY studio in 2014. And while they describe themselves as a rock band\, don’t expect the conventional kind. \nThe story goes that Max brought Shannon to the studio. Max was playing guitar on a track produced by Leon Michels — the producer and co-founder of Big Crown Records — and Michels needed a vocalist. They put Shannon in the booth to try it out. It was her first time ever recording. Then\, in one take\, the song “Strange Boy” had a singer who completed the vibe. The Shacks were born. \nThere are elements of doo-wop and early\, pre-Elvis rock in their musicianship. Combine that with a deeply personal songwriting approach and it’s a familiar-yet-fresh sound. Like The Five Keys met Neil Young and cut a record with Brigitte Bardot — but in English. \nHere’s the thing: Max and Shannon are barely in their twenties. Most of their musical influences are from before they were born. It’s contradictions like this that signify something intriguing is happening with The Shacks. \nMax and Shannon met while going to the same NYC high school. By that time\, Max was already a musical wunderkind. \nRaised in Princeton\, NJ\, at fourteen Max emailed Gabe Roth of Daptone Records with a rough\, home-recorded demo. By seventeen\, he had penned the lead single\, “Sinner\,” on Naomi Shelton and the Gospel Queens’ 2014 Cold World LP. \nShannon comes from a strong musical pedigree. Her father\, a producer\, ran a Manhattan recording studio\, and her mother is a singer-songwriter. Artists and bands of all stripes passed through her life growing up. While her history isn’t yet as extensive as Max’s\, she’s writing it right now. Her infectious\, eclectic voice and songwriting skills are testaments to her remarkable natural talent. \nTheir first record together\, entitled Haze and forthcoming on Big Crown Records\, is jointly produced by Shrager and Michels. Each song sounds both like an exploration and reflection of the relationship between Shannon and Max. You can hear a kind of invigorating creativity between them — songs written for and about each other\, trying to express the inexpressible aspects of youth and love. \n“We just want people to get excited about real music again\,” says Max. “When we record we try to capture what’s happening — in our lives\, things between us\, something in the studio that day\, just something honest. Not something pieced together and hyperreal.” \nIn a modern culture where most music is manufactured and artificial\, Max Shrager and Shannon Wise want to introduce their generation to a more honest kind of music. A kind that’s written from life and made with integrity and value. And all this before either of them can rent a car.

SUMMARY:MAYHEM performing De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas in its entirety
DESCRIPTION:Bowery Boston & Grayskull Booking present\nMAYHEM performing De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas in its entirety \nDoors: 5:30 pm / Show: 6:00 pm \nThis event is 18 and over. Patrons under 18 admitted if accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.\nTickets on sale Fri. 10/28 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*** \nMayhem \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nMayhem are a Norwegian black metal band formed in 1984 in Oslo long regarded as one of the pioneers of the Norwegian black metal scene. Mayhem’s career has been highly controversial\, primarily due to their violent stage performances\, the 1991 suicide of vocalist Per Yngve Ohlin (“Dead”) and 1993 murder of guitarist Øystein Aarseth (“Euronymous”) by former member Varg Vikernes (“Count Grishnackh”)\, also of Burzum.\nThe group released a demo and an EP that were highly influential\, and amassed a loyal following through sporadic and notorious live performances\, attracting further attention through their ties to the string of Norwegian church burnings and the prominent incidents of violence surrounding them. They disbanded after Aarseth’s murder\, shortly before the release of their debut album\, De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas\, regarded as a classic of the black metal genre. Surviving former members Jan Axel Blomberg (“Hellhammer”)\, Jørn Stubberud (“Necrobutcher”) and Sven Erik Kristiansen (“Maniac”) reformed two years later with Rune Eriksen (“Blasphemer”) replacing Aarseth. Attila Csihar since replaced Kristiansen.\nThe band’s music strongly influenced the black metal genre and was instrumental in moving the wider metal scene away from the prevailing trend for speed metal. Their post-Aarseth material is characterised by increased experimentation. Mayhem’s most recent album\, Ordo Ad Chao\, received the Spellemannprisen award for Best Metal Album in 2007. \n*** \nInquisition \n \n[Website] [Facebook] \nThe band Inquisition was formed in 1988 in Cali\, Colombia by Dagon. The band started as a thrash metal act\, and in 1994 evolved into raw black metal. \nIn 1996\, Dagon left Colombia and moved back to the United States to continue Inquisition and search for a new drummer. That same year Dagon met Incubus\, who joined the band on drums and the creation of their debut full length album began. This line-up has remained stable for more than fifteen years and is now seen as the classic Inquisition line-up. \nINQUISITION style of black metal involves slow\, deep and dark riffing combined with sudden tempo changes to faster sections based around blast beats and high-speed riffing; at times adding melodic solos. The classic Inquisition sound incorporates a combination of early era thrash metal-influenced riffing with darker and more chaotic black metal\, primarily involving fast\, tremolo picked minor-key guitar riffs\, thus creating the trademark “Inquisition sound”. \n*** \nBlack Anvil \n \n[Website] [Facebook] \nThe New York Black Metal act have been blowing minds and eardrums since forming in 2007\, but Black Anvil’s third full-length\, aptly titled Hail Death is their most epic and fully realized album to date. It’s one of those rare releases that not only stays true to the band’s roots but manages to transcend them in a way that works all of their seemingly disparate influences into an amalgam of heavy music that’s as original as it is earth-shaking. \n“When we started this band seven years ago we didn’t have any guidelines but we knew it had to be something different\,” explains bassist/vocalist Paul Delaney who—alongside drummer Raeph\, guitarists Gary Bennett and\, recent addition Sos—are Black Anvil. Details about the band’s early days aren’t easy to find but that’s sort of the point. “We’re from New York and that speaks for itself\,” Delaney explains\, adding that he started singing out of necessity\, a process that required years of effort. “This band is 100% about the music and that’s what we want to focus on and it took a lot of work to get to this point.” \nWhat is known is that the band released their debut Time Insults The Mind in 2008 and followed that up with Triumvirate in 2010 and although they weren’t planning on being a touring act\, they literally couldn’t refuse when black metal legends such as Marduk and Watain all offered to take the act out on tour. That said\, Black Anvil have always forged their own path by chopping down the metaphorical trees with their mighty riffs. “Were not influenced by other bands\,” Delaney explains\, “the only thing I’m influenced by is the fact that I want to be different from them.” It’s true\, although the album contains many of the genres stylistic hallmarks\, Hail Death truly defies categorization. \nIn order to capture the fury this time around the band recorded with J. Robbins of Jawbox\, who although best known for recording punk and post-hardcore acts\, perfectly understood Black Anvil’s creative vision. “He’s got a really good style of making records and I knew he would understand that we wanted to make this sound live and organic as opposed to tight and compressed\,” Delaney explains\, citing Kiss’ Destroyer and Metallica’s Master Of Puppets as inspiration. “I wanted it to be a little more rock n’ roll sounding because I felt the songs were a little bigger and structured\,” he elaborates. “It tells a story from beginning to end and the recording reflects that.” \nThat said Hail Death wasn’t an easy album to make and the band members’ personal turmoil is reflected in every frenzied moment of the album. “I went through a lot of stuff over the past year and it caused me to move and spend a year of my life in solitude\,” Delaney says\, explaining that for twelve months he would just sit in his room and pour all of his energy and inner turmoil into these songs. “This is our journey\,” Delaney explains. “I can honestly say that this is probably the most important thing I’ve ever done in my life\, even if it never sees the light of day for some reason I’m insanely proud of it.” \nThat sort of introspective energy is present all over Hail Death from the epic nine-minute long opener “Still Reborn” to the palm-muted perfection of “Next Level Black.” “Any band should be proudest of their latest album and I think we made a huge jump forward with this one because we had more time and didn’t feel rushed or limited in any way\,” says Delaney. A perfect example of this is the song “My Hate Is Pure” which starts with a gently picked intro before it explodes into double-bass driven ecstasy followed by a tempo-shifting climax that listeners won’t expect. This dichotomy between brutality and melodicism lies at the core of Black Anvil’s sound and is what’s helped them develop such a rabid following worldwide. \nAs anyone who has seen Black Anvil live already knows\, the band’s live shows are a full-on barrage of the senses and Hail Death also captures that kinetic energy. “We really wanted to capture our live sound on this record which is one of the reasons we went with J. Robbins\,” Raeph explains. “We didn’t want it to sound perfect\, we wanted it to sound like us.” Delaney concurs adding\, “We bring it live and I feel confident saying that.” From the guitar tones to the visuals to the band members’ stage presence\, Black Anvil don’t mess around when it comes to what happens onstage. \n“We are black metal but we also aren’t interested in doing what hundreds of bands have done before. We’re interested in doing our own thing and this album is the most self-realized expression of that to date\,” Delaney summarizes. Ultimately Hail Death is an album that speaks for itself in the sense that it’s both a mission statement and a battle cry. If the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse ever descend on the planet\, this is the perfect soundtrack to the bloody aftermath.

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - Japandroids
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.\nSOLD OUT \n*** \nJapandroids \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nAfter playing the last of their 200 shows in more than 40 countries in support of their critically acclaimed 2012 album Celebration Rock\, Japandroids took a much needed break to rest and recover after their last show in November of 2013. The band would not play again for three years. This month\, they made their triumphant return to the stage\, playing intimate shows in Vancouver\, LA\, Toronto\, London and NYC\, in which they treated fans to their favorites from Celebration Rock and Post-Nothing\, and previewed a handful of new\, unreleased songs. And today\, the band has announced their much anticipated third album\, Near To The Wild Heart Of Life\, out worldwide on Anti- this January 27\, 2017.\nNear To The Wild Heart Of Life\, was written clandestinely throughout 2014 and 2015 in Vancouver\, Toronto\, New Orleans\, and Mexico City. It was (mostly) recorded by Jesse Gander (who had previously recorded both Post-Nothing and Celebration Rock) at Rain City Recorders in Vancouver\, BC (September-November\, 2015). One song\, True Love And A Free Life Of Free Will\, was recorded by Damian Taylor during an exploratory recording session at Golden Ratio in Montreal\, QC (February\, 2015). The album was mixed by Peter Katis at Tarquin Studios in Bridgeport\, CT (May\, 2016) and mastered by Greg Calbi at Sterling Sound in New York\, NY (July\, 2016). \nLike Post-Nothing and Celebration Rock\, the album is 8 songs. This is because 8 songs is the standard template for a great rock n roll album: Raw Power by The Stooges\, Born To Run by Bruce Springsteen\, Marquee Moon by Television\, IV by Led Zeppelin\, Horses by Patti Smith\, Paranoid by Black Sabbath\, Remain In Light by Talking Heads\, Master Of Puppets by Metallica\, etc. \nLike Post-Nothing and Celebration Rock\, the album was sequenced specifically for the LP. On Near To The Wild Heart Of Life\, side A (songs 1-4) and side B (songs 5-7) each follow their own loose narrative. Taken together as one\, they form an even looser narrative\, with the final song on side B (song 8) acting as an epilogue. \n*** \nCraig Finn & the Uptown Controllers \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nPerhaps best known as the singer of the Hold Steady\, Craig Finn is a Minnesota-bred singer\, songwriter\, and guitarist based out of New York City. Combining literary influences like Jack Kerouac and John Berryman with the musical influences of Bruce Springsteen and fellow Minnesotan Paul Westerberg\, Finn’s highly descriptive lyrical style has a focus on narrative\, crafting whole worlds for the people in his songs to exist within. In 1994\, the singer put this style to work with the indie rock band Lifter Puller\, refining his craft over the course of their three albums before the band called it quits in 2000. After the band dissolved\, Finn relocated from the Twin Cities to New York\, where he would collaborate with producer Mr. Projectile on the short-lived project the Brokerdealer in 2001 before eventually reuniting with Lifter Puller bassist Tad Kubler to form the Hold Steady in 2004. While the band’s whiskey-fueled bar rock sound was a departure from the angular\, synth-filled sounds of Lifter Puller\, Finn’s lyrically dense storytelling style remained intact\, making the Hold Steady the thinking man’s bar band. After five albums with the band\, the singer and songwriter tried his hand at a solo album during some downtime from his main project\, and in 2012 released Clear Heart Full Eyes through Vagrant Records. In 2015\, Finn dropped his second solo album; Faith in the Future\, released by Partisan Records\, was drawn from a set of songs inspired by themes of loss and survival that Finn wrote in the wake of his mother’s death. ~ Gregory Heaney\, Rovi

SUMMARY:SOLD OUT - JAM’N 94.5 presents Kehlani
DESCRIPTION:JAM’N 94.5 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. \nTHIS SHOW IS SOLD OUT! \nA second show has been added on 2/25 due to overwhelming demand! Tickets for the 2/25 show available HERE. \n*** \n \n*** \nKehlani \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nKehlani tells it like it is. Whether in conversation or on stage\, the Oakland-born R&B singer and songwriter gives the straight truth about her life\, pain\, passion\, love\, triumph\, and everything in between with collected calm and confidence. It’s that type of honesty that makes her music resonate with the depth of classic Motown and a vividly confessional lyricism reminiscent of Neo Soul. At the same time\, her 2015 mixtape\, You Should Be Here\, tells a story that distinctly belongs to her. \nIt all starts on the East Bay… \nBorn a unique blend of ethnicities including African American\, Caucasian\, Native American\, Spanish\, and Filipino Native American Kehlani will casually tell you “You’re lucky if you make it out of Oakland.” However\, in her case\, talent usurped luck. Months after her birth\, Kehlani lost her father\, never properly meeting him. Mired in drug addiction\, her mom shuffled her to an aunt. She initially found solace in dance—ballet in particular—but a knee injury sidelined her what might’ve been a budding career as ballerina. \n“That’s when I started singing\,” she recalls. “When I was living with my aunt\, she played me all of these powerful women and love songs. It was that Neo Soul-R&B\, and I couldn’t get enough of it. It felt right to sing from the moment I began.” \nIn eighth grade\, she became a member of the group Poplyfe produced by D’wayne Wiggins of Tony! Toni! Toné! fame. With Kehlani front and center\, Poplyfe ended up becoming a finalist on America’s Got Talent—even performing with her idol Stevie Wonder during the final round. They didn’t win the competition\, but she made an invaluable ally in Nick Cannon. A few industry pitfalls and detours derailed her musical momentum for six months until she decided to pick up the mic again. Without a home\, she moved from couch to couch until Cannon got back in touch wanting to help however he could. Kehlani wanted one thing: studio time. \nKehlani’s 2014 mixtape\, Cloud 19\, introduced her to the world. Immediately\, tastemakers and audiences alike wholeheartedly embraced her. Complex showcased the songstress in a piece entitled “How R&B Saved 2014\,” Pitchfork dubbed the mixtape one of the “Overlooked mixtapes of 2014\,” Vice proclaimed her an “R&B Artist on the Verge of Blowing Up\,” BuzzFeed pegged her at #4 on their “41 SXSW 2015 Artists You Need In Your Life\,” and she ended up being one of SXSW’s “Top 5 Most Tweeted Artists.” \nIn late April she shared You Should Be Here with the world\, which earned Kehlani her very first GRAMMY nomination at the 58th GRAMMY Awards for “Best Urban Contemporary Album.” Upon its release Billboard immediately called this project “The year’s first great R&B album”. Amongst their great review\, You Should Be Here has seen quite a bit of success on the charts. Aside from being the top R&B debut of the week\, it also came in at #1 on the iTunes R&B/Soul chart and #2 on both the Overall R&B Albums and Current R&B Albums chart. \nSigning to Atlantic Records in early 2015 and releasing You Should Be Here\, Kehlani possesses the power to make an impact because she’s so unwaveringly honest.\n“I am one-hundred percent music\,” she’ll assure.\nThat’s because it’s the truth. \n*** \nElla Mai \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nLondon\, United Kingdom \n*** \nJahkoy \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nLike all the most exciting new talents\, 21-year-old Toronto-born JAHKOY seemed to appear from nowhere. Shared speculatively on his Soundcloud last June\, the shimmering funk of debut single Still In Love – the first song he recorded after he moved to LA alone aged 20 – now sits at over one million plays on all platforms. Same with the skipping electro-throb of follow-up Hold Your Hand\, the string of those songs presenting a new artist in absolute control of his craft while already looking to manipulate it into new and exciting shapes. Both songs have received plays and shout outs on Beats 1\, most notably from Zane Lowe\, Drake and JAHKOY’s childhood hero\, Pharrell. In fact\, it’s telling that from a young age JAHKOY was drawn to a constant shape-shifter and experimentalist like Pharrell. “I loved the fact he was in his own lane\,” he explains. “There was stuff that was going on but he was creating new stuff. He didn’t fit in and he stepped over the boundaries of music and made what he has today.” A brief pause. “It’s something I want to do with my music.” \nBefore he could pinpoint his own musical inspirations\, there was a childhood household bustling with early influences\, mainly covering 90s R&B and hip-hop. “A lot of New Edition\, Total\, Notorious BIG\, Lil Kim\,” he says with a smile. While school didn’t offer him a musical education as such\, there were mandatory violin lessons to train his ear. “Because it’s the only instrument I know how to play I feel like it’s pretty easy\,” he shrugs. By the age of 11 music had started to go from something he listened to to something he created\, and buoyed by the expanding Toronto music scene he started (secretly) writing early lyrics in the form of poetry. Steadily these turned into raps\, which in turn became his debut releases under the name Raheem. “At the time I was doing music everyone was rapping\,” he says. “It started becoming more of a common thing and then it was too common. I put out three projects before changing my name.” While proud of the critically acclaimed mix-tapes\, he’s also aware that they were a stepping stone: “That was more my learning process to get to where I am now.” \nJAHKOY\, the artist\, was inspired by a perfect storm of circumstances\, mainly built around UK dance duo Disclosure and\, well\, good old-fashioned love. “Disclosure came to Toronto in 2014 and I had just dropped a project as Raheem that same day\,” he explains. “I went to the Disclosure show\, but I was going to see Vic Mensa\, who opened for them. So he killed it and then the headliners came on and they completely ripped it. I had no idea what kind of music they made or anything but their name. I was blown away by it. More because it was instrumental so I figured it would be dope if somebody sang or rapped over those kind of beats. So I started doing just that and then it turned into singing.” His passion for singing was also bolstered by falling in love\, the title of his forthcoming debut album\, Temptations\, inspired by his first date. \nIn amongst the musical re-awakenings and the young love\, JAHKOY also knew he needed to leave Canada to make his dreams a reality. “I left Toronto for Atlanta\,” he says. “I just needed to get out of Canada. So I spent some time there\, but eventually felt like there wasn’t what I needed in Atlanta. I needed to explore what was out there and so I went to LA and I grinded it out.” In fact\, he didn’t tell anyone he was going to LA\, just packed up his stuff and left.. While a move to LA sounds glitzy on paper\, in reality it was a leap into the unknown. “When I got to LA there was just one person I knew. I’d met him online. He was actually a fan of my early music\, so I knew he was really down to support the movement\,” he explains. “So I was staying on his couch for a while and getting a chance to meet people. The internet is a big world and there were some people who I knew were in LA that I hadn’t met before\, but I was willing to because I was there. So I linked up with a few people and I worked in a few studios and it went from there.” It was during those early sessions that he created Still In Love\, a song that re-shaped his journey.Steadily his name started to reach other producers\, most notably the likes of No ID\, Pop & Oak\, James Fauntleroy and DJ Dahi\, with a deal eventually signed with Def Jam. \nOften the inspirations behind JAHKOY’s songs are used purely as the foundation to careen off into glorious new areas. So Hold Your Hand was inspired by The Beatles’ I Want To Hold Your Hand\, this sense of carefree early love morphing into a day-glow mix of filtered guitars\, shuffling beats and JAHKOY’s airy delivery. \nAsked where he’d like to be in five years’ time\, JAHKOY says it’s something he’s been thinking about a lot recently. Rather than emulate a specific career\, he’s focused on making his music meaningful to as many people as possible. Once again\, there’s this sense of following your own path and doing what you need to do in the best way you can\, regardless of what else is happening around you. “I want to be influential to the music world\,” he states\, and you believe him. “That’s really it. I want to be able to bring that light to music. \n*** \nNoodles \n \n[Website] [Facebook] [Twitter] \nA name to know and an artist to watch in Electronic music\, Noodles continues to shine as a rising star in the DJ/Producer ranks and has taken his fans on quite a wild and exciting ride this past year.
