THE SWELL SEASON ANNOUNCE LAST MINUTE SHOW TO PERFORM INTIMATE SET AT MCCABE’S

The Swell Season at The Brown Theater in Louisville, KY

First show together since October 2010  
Proceeds to go to two charities

Los Angeles – January 26, 2011 –The Swell Season featuring Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova will be performing an intimate set at the legendary McCabe’s Guitar Shop on February 12, 2012.   The Swell Season have made a habit of calling McCabe’s home when in the Los Angeles area having performed there a number of times.  This will be the first show the duo has played since October 2010 and their first time back in Los Angeles since headlining a sold out Hollywood Bowl show in July 2010.  At the time the duo were touring in support of Strict Joy their follow up to the Grammy nominated Once soundtrack.While The Swell Season has been relatively quiet over the last year their music and name has not.  The documentary, The Swell Season debuted at Tribeca Film festival and went on to play at numerous festivals and theaters across the country.  It comes out on DVD on March 13, 2012. Once The Musical opened this past winter to rave reviews and quickly sold out its entire three month run at The New York Theatre Workshop. The musical has now moved to Broadway and opens on March 18, 2012 at the Bernard Jacobs Theatre.Separately both Marketa and Glen have remained active. Marketa released her debut full length Anar on Anti Records in fall of 2011 and has toured continually in support of it.  Glen has been busy recording and touring.  He supported Eddie Vedder in summer 2011 and headed to Europe on his own headlining run later that fall.  This coming year is going to prove busy for both of them with further recording projects and touring (see dates below).

This show quite innocently came together as the two find themselves in Los Angeles for an event with The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.  Proceeds from this show will be going to two charities that close friends of Glen and Mar have championed for some time.   The first is the animal shelter, Camp Cocker (http://www.campcocker.com/) and the second is Batonga Foundation (www.batongafoundation.org), which provides secondary education to girls in Africa.

Death Cab for Cutie to play The Louisville Palace April 13

Friday, April 13, 2012

8:00pm
Death Cab for Cutie are an indie-rock band hailing from Seattle, Washington, who’ve grown to become one of the biggest and, arguably, most important bands in the world. Formed by Benjamin Gibbard in 1997, Death Cab for
Cutie have earnt a reputation as emotionally poignant, not least of all for Gibbard’s lyrics.

Death Cab for Cutie was formed in 1997 at Western Washington University, as Gibbard’s solo project. Having spent that whole summer listening to Elliott Smith‘s Either/Or, Gibbard had written a set of songs too sad to play in his then-band Pinwheel. Taking his name from a Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band track featured in The Beatles’ 1967 film Magical Mystery Tour, Gibbard recorded the demo You Can Play These Songs with Chords. Following its strong reception, Gibbard turned Death Cab into a full-time project, enlisting the recording engineer, Chris Walla, on guitar, and current/former housemates Nicholas Harmer and Nathan Good on bass and drums, respectively.

 

In November 2004, Death Cab for Cutie signed a “long-term worldwide deal” with Atlantic Records. Said Gibbard, to The AV Club: “We made that very un-indie-rock move of actually succumbing to our ambition as a band, and saying, ‘You know what? I want as many people to hear this band as possible.’”

The O’Jays are coming to Horseshoe

The O’Jays are an American R&B group from Canton, Ohio, formed in 1963 and originally consisting of Eddie Levert (born June 16, 1942), Walter Williams (born August 25, 1942), William Powell (January 20, 1942 – May 26, 1977), Bobby Massey and Bill Isles. The O’Jays were inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2004, and The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2005. The O’Jays had their first hit with “Lonely Drifter”, in 1963. In spite of the record’s success, the group was considering quitting the music industry until Gamble & Huff, a team of producers and songwriters, took an interest in the group. With Gamble & Huff, the O’Jays (now a trio after the departure of Isles and Massey) emerged at the forefront of Philadelphia soul with “Back Stabbers” (1972), and topped the Billboard Hot 100 the following year with “Love Train“. Their hit “For The Love of Money” is the theme song for Donald Trump’s TV show The Apprentice.

Don’t miss this chance to see The O’Jays at Horseshoe Southern Indiana on March 30th, 2012 at 7:30 p.m. in the Showroom.  Tickets go on sale Friday January 20th, 2012 and may be purchased through Ticketmaster or the Horseshoe Box office.

An Evening with The Civil Wars

Civil Wars

The Civil Wars memorized the audience at a sold out show in The Brown Theater Friday evening. The duo of Joy Williams and John Paul White entertained mostly with only their amazing vocals and White’s guitar. Williams spend a handful of songs on the keyboards but this show  was all about  mixing two incredible voices sharing leads and harmonies. What is special about their show is the ability to perform in a no frills atmosphere where any mistake would be readily identified. Backed by Paul’s excellent guitar they kept the audience entertained with splendid duets. It’s just two performers blending their voices while Williams dances around Paul’s guitar.

The pair’s strong set included all of their “Barton Hollow” album”  which appeared on many music magazines best of 2011 list. The band did do reworked covers of  The Jackson Five’s, I Want You Back” and began their encore with Michael Jackson’s “Billy Jean”. It was a beautiful show based on tremendous talent.

The Staves, The sisters from England opened the show displaying great vocal harmonies backed only by guitar and ukulele. The very talented group set the tone for a magical evening of vocal excellence.

Netherfriends – “Bloomington, IN” from the upcoming Middle America

 

It takes a certain kind of musician, a certain kind of person to look at an apartment lease up for renewal as an invitation to pack up a life and hit the road with a seemingly impossible goal – to play a show in every State in the US, meet like-minded musicians along the way and record an original song dedicated, in some way, to a city in that State.

In April of 2010, that’s precisely what Netherfriends, the sometimes band/constant musical project of Shawn Rosenblatt, did.  The tour began in   Philadelphia and ended in Hawaii in April, 2011 and next month the first official  release of that effort, Middle America will see a proper release through Kilo Records.

Today, Impose debuts the first track off Middle America, “Bloomington, IN.”

A tree city with a population of 80, 405,  Bloomington is a fine place to record a rolicking indie jam with hints of tropicalia. Rosenblatt possibly wrote “Bloomington, IN” deep into his 50 state adventure (just a theory), which could explain the lyric “then maybe one day music wouldn’t take up all my time / and I could feel like every guy”…these songs are not supposed to be dedications to the locales, but something about Bloomington encouraged Rosenblatt to yearn for the carefree times. The mayor of Bloomington would be wise to make this the official song of the city.

Listen to “Bloomington, IN”, download from iTunes here and check out a video Shawn made about the 50 Songs 50 States tour.

More on Netherfriends’ music from Impose

Netherfriends is the inexhaustable brainchild of Shawn Rosenblatt. Mr. Rosenblatt has one interest and a ruthless dedication to that interest, which has left him jobless and homeless. But that’s a square’s perspective on Netherfriends’ lifestyle. In 2011, Netherfriends released a ambient meditation record entitled Alap, made a record of the silliest Nilsson samples ever written, and took it upon himself to redo the score from the film Baraka - you know, just make it more drone-y and ambient. He is a songwriting and touring machine that spent last year on a 50 state tour, writing and performing songs with musicians in each state.

Jane’s Addiction to play The palace March ,23rd

Great bands break rules, but legends write their own. JANE’S ADDICTION have actually written the rule book for alternative music and culture through a combination of genre-defying classic songs and a cinematic live experience. Their songs serve as the Ten Commandments for alt rock, inspiring an entire generation of bands such as Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Nine Inch Nails, Smashing Pumpkins, Pearl Jam and Tool. When the Los Angeles quartet came along, they merged alternative and rock like no one before, becoming the first alternative rock band, creating a new sound and attitude.

Perry Farrell stands out as one of music’s most forward-thinking and enigmatic frontmen, and his vocals soar with vibrancy, vulnerability and vitality. Guitar god Dave Navarro conjures simultaneously psychedelic and epic riffs. Stephen Perkins’ tribal stomp remains hypnotic and transfixing. In 2010, Jane’s Addiction began writing songs for the new album. By 2011, recording began on what would become The Great Escape Artist, an October 2011 release on Capitol, to be supported with a worldwide tour in 2012. The band and producer Rich Costey (Muse, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol) added TV on the Radio’s Dave Sitek to the creative team. Sitek, best known for his production work on TV on the Radio, Yeah Yeah Yeahs and the Foals, is writing and playing bass on the new album.
