SUMMARY:John R. Miller
DESCRIPTION:John R Miller is a true hyphenate artist: singer-songwriter-picker. Every song on his thrilling upcoming debut solo album\, Depreciated\, is lush with intricate wordplay and haunting imagery\, as well as being backed by a band that is on fire.  One of his biggest long-time fans is roots music favorite Tyler Childers\, who says he’s “a well-travelled wordsmith mapping out the world he’s seen\, three chords at a time.” Miller is somehow able to transport us to a shadowy honkytonk and get existential all in the same line with his tightly written compositions. Miller’s own guitar-playing is on fine display here along with vocals that evoke the white-waters of the Potomac River rumbling below the high ridges of his native Shenandoah Valley. \nMiller grew up in the Eastern Panhandle of West Virginia near the Potomac River.  “There are three or four little towns I know well that make up the region\,” he says\, name-checking places like Martinsburg\, Shepherdstown\, Hedgesville\, and Keyes Gap.  “It’s a haunted place.  In some ways it’s frozen in time. So much old stuff has lingered there\, and its history is still very present.” As much as Miller loves where he’s from\, he’s always had a complicated relationship with home and never could figure out what to do with himself there. “I just wanted to make music\, and there’s no real infrastructure for that there.  We had to travel to play regularly and as teenagers\, most of our gigs were spent playing in old church halls or Ruritan Clubs.”  He was raised “kinda sorta Catholic” and although he gave up on that as a teenager\, he says “it follows me everywhere\, still.”  \nHis family was not musical—his father worked odd jobs and was a paramedic before Miller was born\, while his mother was a nurse—but he was drawn to music at an early age\, which was essential to him since he says school was “an exercise in patience” for him. “Music was the first thing to turn my brain on. I’d sit by the stereo for hours with a blank audio cassette waiting to record songs I liked\,” he says. “I was into a lot of whatever was on the radio until I was in middle school and started finding out about punk music\, which is what I gravitated toward and tried to play through high school.” \nLinks: Website | Spotify | Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Tennis
DESCRIPTION:I never learned how to swim.  \n​In years of sailing\, I never let the water touch me. The ocean was an abstract dread\, an obliterating void as untenable as outer space.  \n​In January 2018 we went on tour. After years of scraping by\, we found our footing with our fourth record Yours Conditionally. It was a commercial success that set us up to to play the biggest rooms of our career. But three shows in\, I developed a raging case of influenza. Each night I dragged myself onstage and croaked out the set in a delirium. After a particularly bad soundcheck\, Patrick asked me if we should cancel the show. I couldn’t imagine giving up the thing we’d work so hard to achieve. “I’ll be on stage even if you have to mic my coffin\,” I joked.  \n​​The next morning I fainted and had a seizure while grocery shopping for breakfast. Patrick carried me through the check-out lanes screaming for a doctor. I woke later in a hospital bed. Patrick leaned over me\, crying. “That’s it\,” he said. “I’m canceling the tour. I thought you were dead. We’re quitting the band. I’m going to be an accountant.” But I was on the mend. We missed two shows and pressed on.  \n​​During sound check at the 930 club\, Patrick stepped out to take a phone call. His father had been in the hospital all week\, but he had cancer and brief hospitalizations were routine. Back at the hotel that night\, Patrick poured two shots of whiskey and handed me one. “I’d like to toast my dad.” He said. “The doctors offered to put him on life-support to give me a chance to fly out there\, but I didn’t want him to suffer. Instead I said goodbye.”  \n​​Patrick went home to grieve with his family and rejoined us on the road two days later. I couldn’t believe how quickly our lives had unraveled in the midst of what was supposed to be a milestone in our career. As the tour continued\, we found refuge in playing music together. Songwriting had always been an extension of our inner-world. Now we retreated to that world every time we stepped onstage.  \n​After the final show of our tour in Austin\, we received another phone call. Patrick’s mother Karen was in the hospital on the brink of a stroke. We got on a plane and went straight to her bedside. Her recovery took weeks. In the hospital waiting room\, I wrote the opening line of “Matrimony II”: I only have certainty when you hold my hand.  \n​On a hot July day\, after Karen’s return to good health\, we sailed as a family into the Pacific and scattered Edward’s ashes at sea. I marked our position on the chart with a small x. The album was already well under way. In that moment\, I realized what I wanted to call it.  \n​Swimmer is a tour of the darkest time in our lives. But it is not a dark record. Named for the feeling of suspension and upendedness that characterized this period\, it is the story of deep-rooted companionship strengthened by pain and loss. These songs carried us through our grief. It is us at our most vulnerable\, so we kept a small footprint\, recording everything ourselves in our home studio. I set out to describe the love I have come to know after ten years of marriage\, when you can no longer remember your life before that person\, when the spark of early attraction has been replaced by a gravitational pull.  \nSwimmer is available everywhere February 14\, 2020.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Spotify | SoundCloud \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:JoJo – Good To Know Tour – CANCELLED
DESCRIPTION:Every ticket purchased online for JoJo includes your choice of a CD or digital copy of the new album\, Good To Know\, released in spring 2020. You’ll receive instructions via email on how to redeem your album within 7 days of your ticket purchase. US/CAN residents only\, offer not valid on resale tickets.  \nJoJo [born Joanna Levesque] is a chart-topping\, award-winning singer\, songwriter\, and actress who\, at just 28 years old\, is already a veteran of the music industry – but she is ready to write her next chapter. Now signed to Warner Records through a joint venture with her own Clover Music\, JoJo has begun with new releases “Joanna” and the Doc McKinney-produced “Sabotage (feat. CHIKA)\,” and is looking ahead to her new album to come in spring 2020. Having released her self-titled debut album when she was just 13\, JoJo’s breakout smash “Leave (Get Out)” made JoJo the youngest-ever solo artist to have a debut #1 single in the U.S. and to be nominated for “Best New Artist” at the MTV Video Music Awards. The album went on to sell over four million copies and became the singer’s first Platinum record\, which she followed with a string of additional hits\, most notably the Top 3 single “Too Little Too Late” from sophomore album The High Road. In 2016\, JoJo made a heralded return to music with her first new album in 10 years\, Mad Love. – debuting Top 10 on the Billboard Top 200 and earning her unanimous critical acclaim from the likes of TIME\, Pitchfork\, Rolling Stone\, Cosmo\, Entertainment Weekly and more. Last year\, JoJo re-recorded and re-released her first two albums (JoJo and The High Road) under her own label Clover Music\, after years of legal battles with her former label that prevented the albums from existing on digital platforms. She has also pushed herself outside the confines of genre\, recently collaborating with artists ranging from PJ Morton [on the GRAMMY-winning R&B hit “Say So”] and Jacob Collier [lending her vocal stylings to the jazzy “It Don’t Matter”] to Tank on his latest “Somebody Else.”  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Stephen Malkmus
DESCRIPTION:Message from Mr Malkmus: \n“While things seem to be moving in the right direction with vaccines\, etc.\, it appears unlikely that tours will be able to resume safely by next Spring. Unfortunately\, the shows scheduled for March and April are cancelled. Refunds will be available point of purchase. Rest assured that Stephen will be back on the road in 2022\, hopefully with even newer music!” \n  \nStephen Malkmus\, Traditional Techniques  \nIs that a goddamn bouzouki? you may ask. A pedal steel guitar? What kind of Stephen Malkmus album is this\, anyway?  \nIt’s called folk music\, and it’s taking the country by storm. Stephen Malkmus is only the latest popular artist to apply this old new approach to their rock and roll sounds.  \nTake the name Traditional Techniques with as much salt as you’d like or dig the Adorno reference\, Malkmus’s third solo LP without the Jicks (or Pavement) is as organic as they come. It’s packed with handmade arrangements\, modern folklore\, and 10 songs written and performed in Malkmus’s singular voice. An adventurous new album in an instantly familiar mode\, Traditional Techniques creates a serendipitous trilogy with the loose fuzz of the Jicks’ Sparkle Hard (Matador\, 2018) and the solo bedroom experiments of Groove Denied (Matador\, 2019). Taken together\, these three very different full-lengths in three years highlight an ever-curious songwriter committed to finding untouched territory. Perhaps some of these “folk” musicians could take a lesson or two.  \nCreated in the spontaneous west coast style adopted so infectiously by young American musicians in this time of global turmoil\, Malkmus took on Traditional Techniques as a kind of self-dare. Conceived while recording Sparkle Hard with the Jicks at Portland’s Halfling Studio\, Malkmus had observed the variety of acoustic instruments available for use. The idea escalated within a matter of weeks into a full set of songs and shortly thereafter into a realized and fully committed album. When he returned to Halfling\, Malkmus drew from a whole new musical palette–including a variety of Afghani instruments–to support an ache both quizzical and contemporary. Stephen Malkmus isn’t one of those “hung up” musicians one reads about so frequently these days\, sequestered in a jungle room of the heart. The jukebox in Malkmus’s private grotto remains fully updated. Not only is the artist present\, but he’s on Twitter.  \nTraditional Techniques is new phase folk music for new phase folks\, with Malkmus as attuned as ever to the rhythms of the ever-evolving lingual slipstream. Instead of roses\, briars\, and long black veils\, prepare for owns\, cracked emojis\, and shadowbans. Centered around the songwriter’s 12-string acoustic guitar\, and informed by a half-century of folk-rock reference points\, Traditional Techniques is the product of Malkmus and Halfling engineer/arranger-in-residence Chris Funk (The Decemberists). Playing guitar is friend-to-all-heads Matt Sweeney (Bonnie “Prince” Billy\, Chavez\, and too many other to count)\, who’d previously crossed paths with Malkmus on the opposite end of the longhairs’ map of the world\, most lately gnarling out together back east in the jam conglomerate Endless Boogie.  \nBut\, buyer beware\, no matter how these recordings might be tagged by your nearest algorithm\, the expansive and thrilling folk-rock sounds of Traditional Techniques aren’t SM Unplugged. One might even question his commitment to acoustic instruments\, but we’ll leave that for somebody else’s hot take. All we’re saying is watch your head. Because alongside all that gorgeous folk music (“The Greatest Own in Legal History\,” “Cash Up”)\, there are also occasional bursts of flute-laced swagger (“Shadowbanned”)\, straight-up commune rock (“Xian Man”)\, and mind-bending fuzz in places you least expect it (“Brainwashed”).  \n– Jesse Jarnow  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:We Came As Romans
DESCRIPTION:This show has been postponed – details TBD. \nBrotherhood lasts forever.  \nNo matter what happens\, those bonds endure in memories and moments. We Came As Romans hold a similar link between them. After nearly 15 years together\, countless sold out shows\, critical acclaim\, and over 250 million streams\, the Michigan quintet-Joshua Moore [guitar]\, Dave Stephens [vocals]\, Lou Cotton [guitar]\, Andy Glass [bass]\, and David Puckett [drums]-weather their darkest time and emerge stronger in the name of a fallen brother and member: Kyle Pavone.  \nThe group soldier ahead with a sixth full-length opus befitting of his memory.  \n“When Kyle passed away\, it changed everything for us personally and\, as a byproduct\, everything for the band\,” says Joshua. “An earth-shattering event puts a lot of things in perspective. We’ve spent so much time together. We’ve been doing this since we were kids. The one thing that won’t change is the way Kyle affected my life. Before we were bandmates\, we were essentially brothers. In order to be genuine to our fans and ourselves\, we had to write about what we dealt with losing him. At the same time\, this isn’t just a bunch of songs soaking in depression. We want to celebrate what we built.”  \nTogether\, We Came As Romans built a burgeoning empire. Merging chugging metallic force\, skyscraping melodies\, off-kilter electronic experimentation\, and hardcore spirit\, the group quietly claimed a place at the forefront of modern heavy music. They put up unbelievable numbers with the likes of “Hope” [17 million streams]\, and “The World I Used To Know” [15 million Spotify streams] as well as multiple top ten records on the Billboard Top 200. Meanwhile\, 2017’s Cold Like War represented a career peak. The title track “Cold Like War” and “Wasted Age” both surpassed 9 million Spotify streams as the band received its best career reviews to date. Alternative Press cited the album as “a milestone\,” and Metal Hammer praised their penchant for unpredictability by affirming\, “This record is never boring.” Beyond tours with everyone from A Day To Remember\, Bring Me The Horizon\, I Prevail\, The Used\, Sleeping With Sirens\, Parkway Drive\, and more\, they packed houses on headline dates around the world.  \nAfter Kyle’s death in 2018\, they made a careful decision to push forward\, returning to the road with Bullet For My Valentine before gathering themselves in the studio with longtime collaborator Nick Sampson [Asking Alexandria\, Born Of Osiris] and seeking perspective from Drew Fulk [Motionless In White\, Lil Peep].  \n“Nick has been part of the family forever\, because he was an engineer on our first record\,” Joshua continues. “We also had to involve Drew. He produced Cold Like War\, and it was Kyle’s favorite record. It felt like it needed to happen\, since that was the last great memory Kyle made with us. Everyone was a big part of the process.”  \nWe Came As Romans introduce this next chapter with a pair of singles\, “Carry The Weight” and “From The First Note.” Evocative clean guitar echoes at the beginning of “Carry The Weight” before giving way to a hammering groove and cathartic screams that culminate on a hypnotic chant-one of the band’s most irresistible.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Andy Shauf
DESCRIPTION:This show has been rescheduled from December 8th.  \nFew artists are storytellers as deft and disarmingly observational as Andy Shauf. The Toronto-based\, Saskatchewan-raised musician’s songs unfold like short fiction: they’re densely layered with colorful characters and a rich emotional depth. On his new album The Neon Skyline (out January 24 via ANTI-)\, he sets a familiar scene of inviting a friend for beers on the opening title track: “I said\, ‘Come to the Skyline\, I’ll be washing my sins away.’ He just laughed\, said ‘I’ll be late\, you know how I can be.’” The LP’s 11 interconnected tracks follow a simple plot: the narrator goes to his neighborhood dive\, finds out his ex is back in town\, and she eventually shows up. While its overarching narrative is riveting\, the real thrill of the album comes from how Shauf finds the humanity and humor in a typical night out and the ashes of a past relationship.  \nHis last full-length 2016’s The Party was an impressive collection of ornate and affecting songs that followed different attendees of a house party. Shauf’s attention-to-detail in his writing evoked Randy Newman and his unorthodox\, flowing lyrical phrasing recalled Joni Mitchell. Though that album was his breakthrough\, his undeniable songwriting talent has been long evident. Raised in Bienfait\, Saskatchewan\, he cut his teeth in the nearby Regina music community. His 2012 LP The Bearer of Bad News documented his already-formed musical ambition and showcased Shauf’s burgeoning voice as a narrative songwriter with songs like “Hometown Hero\,” “Wendell Walker\,” and “My Dear Helen” feeling like standalone\, self-contained worlds. In 2018\, his band Foxwarren\, formed over 10 years ago with childhood friends\, released a self-titled album where Pitchfork recognized how “Shauf has diligently refined his storytelling during the last decade.”  \nThe Party earned a spot on the Polaris Music Prize 2016 shortlist and launched Shauf to an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden as well as glowing accolades from NPR\, The Washington Post\, The Guardian\, and more. “That LP was a concept record and it really made me want to do a better album. I wanted to have a more cohesive story\,” says Shauf. Where the concept of The Party revealed itself midway through the writing process\, he knew the story he wanted to tell on The Neon Skyline from the start. “I kept coming back to the same situation of one guy going to a bar\, which was basically exactly what I was doing at the time. These songs are fictional but it’s not too far off from where my life was\,” Shauf explains.  \nFor The Neon Skyline\, Shauf chose to start each composition on guitar instead of his usual piano. He says\, “I wanted to be able to sit down and play each song with just a guitar without having to rely on some sort of a clever arrangement to make it whole.” The resulting album finds its immediacy in simplicity. While the arrangements on folksy “The Moon” are unfussy and song-centered like the best Gordon Lightfoot offerings\, his drive to experiment is still obvious. This is especially so on the unmoored relationship autopsy “Thirteen Hours\,” which boasts an arrangement that’s both jazzy and adventurous.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Emancipator Ensemble
DESCRIPTION:A sleeping giant of the electronic music world\, Douglas Appling — more commonly known as Emancipator — has quietly established himself as a mainstay in the electronic music scene since the release of his debut album\, Soon It Will Be Cold Enough in 2006. Classically-trained as a violinist from an early age\, Appling’s organic approach to electronic music production draws inspiration from a wide range of international cultures and musical genres\, culminating in a refreshingly authentic brand of electronic music that has infiltrated global consciousness. 2015 was a busy year having released Live In Athens in June\, and Dusk to Dawn Remixes — a remix album featuring massively-popular contributions from the likes of ODESZA\, Little People\, Eliot Lipp\, and more — in July\, 2015 and now his first full length album in three years\, Seven Seas. Seven Seas is the product of over two years of work\, collaborations\, experiences\, and live performances all culminating in a cohesive collection of songs that solidifies that Emancipator is only getting better with age.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | SoundCloud \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Sleaford Mods
DESCRIPTION:As one of the most important\, politically charged and thought-provoking bands in music today\, Sleaford Mods have been running crass but clever commentary on The People’s discontent\, combining the revolutionary fury of punk and hip-hop with the bleakness of austerity-era Britain\, their five critically acclaimed albums a pre-Boris crystal ball of impending doom.  \nOn paper it shouldn’t work. Andrew Fearn’s clever minimalistic beats\, post-punk bass\, intentionally cheap sounding keyboard riffs and wafts of guitar underpin lyricist Jason Williamson as he rants against stagnation\, injustice and pop culture with outrage and scathing humour\, capturing the spirit of their time with a blunt eloquence.  \nOn stage there is no pretence. An antithesis to the approach of many electronic artists\, Andrew simply presses play on his laptop and steps back to bob his head\, drink his beer and watch as the spectacle of Jason moving from angry to hypnotic unfolds.  \nStumbling into the music scene in 2013\, their breakthrough album Austerity Dogs caught the moment. Described by The Quietus as ‘a brutally brilliant slice of working-class culture… soaked in the impossible realities of the everyday’\, their surprise success spearheaded a punk renaissance\, paving the way for a generation of new artists to follow.  \nMore success followed with 2014’s critically acclaimed Divide & Exit and interspersed with Prodigy and Leftfield collaborations\, subsequent albums\, 2015’s Key Markets and 2017’s English Tapas charted top 20 in the Official UK Album Charts. 2019’s Eton Alive finally saw the band gain a top 10 hit\, offering a more sombre soundscape and underscoring the reality of Sleaford Mods’ subject matter. The result is exhilarating\, cathartic and brutally brilliant proving time and time again that Sleaford Mods are as vital politically as they are artistically.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Bikini Kill
DESCRIPTION:Bikini Kill is a feminist punk band that was based in Olympia\, WA and Washington\, DC\, forming in 1990 and breaking up in 1997. Kathleen Hanna sang\, Tobi Vail played drums\, Billy Karren (a.k.a. Billy Boredom) played guitar and Kathi Wilcox played bass. Sometimes they switched instruments. Bikini Kill is credited with instigating the Riot Grrrl movement in the early 90’s via their political lyrics\, zines and confrontational live show.  \nThe band started touring in June 1991. In addition to touring the US several times\, they also toured Europe\, Australia and Japan. Bikini Kill recorded and released a demo tape\, two EP’s\, two LP’s and three singles. Their demo tape was self-released\,while their first two records came out as a full length CD/Tape and their singles were posthumously collected on CD.  \nBikini Kill believed that if all girls started bands the world would change. They actively encouraged women and girls to start bands as a means of cultural resistance. Bikini Kill was inspired by seeing Babes in Toyland play live and attempted to incite female participation and build feminist community via the punk scene. They used touring as a way to create an underground network between girls who played music\, put on shows and made fanzines. This independent media making and informal network created a forum for multiple female voices to be heard.  \nTicket delivery will be delayed to arrive one week before the show. This is to prevent scalpers\, resellers\, and other forms of ticket fraud.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Bandcamp | Spotify \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Bob Schneider (solo)
DESCRIPTION:This is a seated show.  \nBlood and Bones  \nOne of Austin’s most celebrated musicians\, Bob Schneider\, released his 2018 album\, “Blood and Bones” – his 7th studio album since his 2001 solo debut Lonelyland – via his Shockorama Records imprint. “Blood and Bones” captures Schneider at a unique\, and distinct place. “Most of the songs are about this phase of my life\,” he admits. “I’m re-married\, I have a 2-year-old baby daughter who was born over two months premature because my wife had life threatening preeclampsia. So dealing with that traumatic event while getting older and looking at death in a realistic\, matter of fact way\, experiencing the most joy I’ve ever experienced along with feelings of utter despondency in a way that would have been impossible to experience earlier in my life\, all comes out in the songs. My relationship with my wife is the longest committed relationship I’ve ever been in\, so there was a lot of unchartered territory there to write about.” The songs on “Blood and Bones” reflect this. Recorded quickly with producer Dwight Baker\, who has worked with Schneider on 6 of his previous releases\, the album highlights the chemistry that Schneider and his backing band of Austin’s very best musicians have developed while relentlessly playing live\, most notably at the monthly residency Schneider has held at Austin’s Saxon Pub for the last 19 years. “I didn’t want to overthink the songs\,” Schneider says. “I really respect Dwight’s ability to make great calls when it comes to what works and isn’t working when we are recording the songs. I felt pretty good about the quality of the songwriting\, so I figured that would come through in the end if we just went in and played them the way I do live.”  \nWhile the performance and production are stellar\, the songwriting finds Schneider in a particularly reflective mode. Sure\, there are live favorites like “Make Drugs Get Money” and “Texaco” that will get even the most reserved crowds dancing. But more often the album finds Schneider reflecting on marriage\, parenthood\, and mortality. “I wish I could make you see how wonderful everything is most of the time\, but I’m only blood and bones\,” he sings on the title track\, a meditation on the beauty and the limits of marriage. Later\, on “Easy\,” he tells his daughter “it’s always been a scary thing to do\, to let my heart fall down into the endless blue\, but it’s easy with you.” Through it all\, there is a clear sense of mortality\, of just how fleeting all of this is. “The hours and days stack up in the mirror\,” he sings on “Hours and Days”. “We’re just snowmen waiting for the summer” he sings on “Snowmen”\, before adding “we can’t bring them back\, can’t bring nothing back.”  \nOne thing Schneider has excelled at in his career is bringing audiences back. Though he has received little national press or major label support\, he has managed to become one of the biggest acts in Austin\, if not in Texas. His fans\, who often discover him from being brought to his shows by their friends\, are fiercely loyal. Many have attended dozens or even hundreds of shows. Thanks to these fans\, Schneider has won more Austin Music Awards than any other musician\, including Best Album\, Best Songwriter\, Best Musician\, and Best Male Vocals\, rounding in at 59 total awards to date.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Weyes Blood
DESCRIPTION:A note from Weyes Blood: \nMay 27\, 2020 \nGood day everyone\, \nHere is a video for my song “Wild Time” that was shot on 16mm pre-Pandemic\, then edited together during isolation. Felt like the right time to let this video out into the world\, seeing as we’re all getting saddled down by some pretty grim realities. This song is about yearning for wildness and Mother Nature in a time of chaos. It’s for sensitive people who worry about the fate of humanity and feel powerless to do anything about it. \nI’ve spent a lot of time thinking apocalyptic thoughts and realizing that won’t get you anywhere. What if the world has always been ending? What if the sprawl of our cities are just as wild as the forests? What if climate change and the destruction of our natural habitat is a reflection of the nature within us\, however sublimely horrifying and hard to understand? We’re animals\, we play out a very precarious drama of life\, and we grasp for what’s left of the protective womb – but maybe the notion that we’re somehow separated from her is an illusion. Maybe it is\, truly\, a wild time to be alive. Maybe getting in touch with that as a culture and society would avert the worst case scenarios of ecological crisis and existential dread. \nIf you’ve gotten this far\, wow\, thank you for actually taking the time to read this. In other news\, as you may have assumed\, I am canceling all of my headline shows for 2020\, but I’m beginning to work on my next album that will come out in 2021- a different time\, when hopefully we can see each other face to face once again. \nxo \nNatalie (aka Weyes Blood) \n— \nNatalie Mering\, known professionally as Weyes Blood\, is an American singer\, songwriter\, and musician. Mering was raised in a musical family and began writing songs under the moniker Wise Blood at age 15\, later changing the spelling to Weyes Blood. She spent some formative years in the underground noise music scene\, playing in bands Jackie-O Motherfucker and Nautical Almanac.  \nMering released her debut album\, The Outside Room\, in 2011 on Not Not Fun Records\, followed up by 2014’s The Innocents on Mexican Summer. Her breakthrough occurred in 2016 with the release of Front Row Seat to Earth. With this record\, she gained recognition for her distinctive style of melodic\, orchestral\, and melancholic songwriting melded with apocalyptic themes.  \nThis is further refined on 2019’s strikingly beautiful and critically-acclaimed Titanic Rising (Sub Pop). The record received high placements on year-end and decade-end lists from publications such as Pitchfork\, Uproxx\, Paste\, Uncut\, Dazed\, The Guardian\, and NPR. Live performance highlights include sold-out tours in the US and Europe\, as well as opening for Kacey Musgraves in the fall and signing with Lana Del Rey at the Hollywood Bowl.  \nMering’s voice sounds at once classic and new — her music could exist as comfortably in the ’70s as it does in our current age of anxiety and tension\, making her a unique cultural commentator on society’s current condition.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Thao & the Get Down Stay Down
DESCRIPTION:After 15 years of recording and performing\, Thao Nguyen\, of San Francisco-based band Thao & The Get Down Stay Down\, was exhausted. She had been touring the band’s 2016 album A Man Alive\, a critically acclaimed\, bone-shaking reckoning about her relationship with her absent father. She was scoring commissions\, guest-hosting the podcast Song Exploder\, and exploring other paths as an artist. She bought a house with her girlfriend; they’re married now.  \nIn the past 15 years\, Thao has avoided being fully out in her public career\, having been raised in-and deeply loving-a family and culture distanced from mainstream America’s social progress. As she confronted the division\, shame\, grief\, and silence in her life\, Thao found new ways to live in her own skin\, and forced her own hand to make a new\, different record. In doing so\, she created a space wherein she can finally exist as her full self.  \nTemple is the fifth full-length album from Thao & The Get Down Stay Down. Produced by Thao and bandmate Adam Thompson\, who shares songwriting credit on five tracks\, it is also their first self-produced album. Mixer Mikaelin “Blue” Bluespruce (Solange\, Skepta\, Carly Rae Jepsen) widens the band’s register with beat-forward mixes and immersive\, lush tones.  \nKaleidoscopic and danceable\, grounded by Thao’s singular voice\, Temple feels boldly dissonant while still highly accessible. Golden\, longing pop meets punk roots. Rock draws from hip-hop\, funk\, and folk rhythms for intricate\, danceable beats. The poetic lyrics are expansive\, yet shatteringly personal\, inspired in part by the work of writers like James Baldwin\, Octavia Butler\, and Yiyun Li.. Rage\, honesty\, clear-eyed regret\, and optimistic wisdom run parallel\, finding a new way forward.   \nA temple is a place of worship and sanctuary. We spend our lives searching for temples where we can belong and be loved\, but those spaces can also be a kind of confinement. Temple is an album that pushes open boundaries for a different kind of sanctuary\, where you don’t have to whisper.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Poolside
DESCRIPTION:Poolside began as a recording project in a converted Los Angeles backyard pool house in early 2011\, producing sunny tracks of subaquatic indie dance music in this makeshift recording studio. Surfacing first in the form of a YouTube video for the catchy track “Do You Believe?” Poolside were soon gaining local and national attention\, with DJs like James Murphy of LCD Soundsystem\, techno legend Derrick May\, and disco don Todd Terje spinning these tracks at events and a growing online following. Throughout 2011 Poolside continued making waves with a sound called “daytime disco” through tracks like their cover of Neil Young’s “Harvest Moon” and original tunes. In 2012 Poolside worked on a remix for longtime disco punks The Rapture and held fans over with a new single and video for a song called “Slow Down” as they prepared to release their debut album. That album\, Pacific Standard Time\, was self-released in July of 2012. \nAfter the album’s release\, remixes for artists like Matthew Dear\, Little Dragon and Fool’s Gold soon followed\, as well as rehearsing and touring with a live band and doing DJ sets around the world. As thoughts turned to a second album\, Poolside went on ice for a year to regroup\, beginning to work in earnest on another album in the Fall of 2016. While still revolving around the sunny\, laid-back disco sound of PST\, these sessions yielded the additions of up-tempo dance songs and more guitars\, and generally more fleshed-out arrangements. Poolside surprise released their second album Heat in 2017. \nPoolside returned in July of 2019 with “Can’t Stop Your Lovin’ (feat. Panama)\,” their first new music in over two years. They spent the summer and fall touring with Kacey Musgraves and Tycho and released a second standalone single “Greatest City” in October. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | SoundCloud | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Greg Dulli
DESCRIPTION:A message from Greg Dulli: \n“With the continued uncertainty for us to gather together in public places\, I have made the decision to cancel the North American tour and issue full refunds. We were really attempting to make this tour happen\, but you can’t outrun what you can’t see. I’ve now turned my attention to making a new album with The Afghan Whigs. Stay safe everyone and I can’t wait to see you all again on the other side.” \n  \n  \nWithout desire\, most of the world’s problems would be solved and it would be a miserable place to live. For the last 30 years\, Greg Dulli has been the poet laureate of the bizarre whims and cruel tangents of desire. A foremost authority on the sell-your-soul rewards of carnal lust\, the high voltage epiphanies of chemical enhancement\, and the serotonin lows left in their wake. The front man of the Afghan Whigs has long been on a first-name basis with his demons\, most of whom eventually relented and let him pour them a shot. But then there are the known unknowns at the heart of our nature\, the intractable difficulties of love and death\, and the recurring human desire for survival and rebirth.  \nTherein lies Random Desire\, the first solo album under Dulli’s own name\, following canonized stints at the helm of The Afghan Whigs and The Twilight Singers. The title is a play on “random selection\,” which refers to a process that researchers use to pick participants for a study. When using this method\, every single member of a population has an “equal chance of being chosen as a subject.” Recontextualized\, it allows us to realize the randomness of existence\, the odd alchemy of emotions\, chemistry\, and circumstance that baffle us to no end. The reasons why artists write songs and why listeners need them. And even if the answers are evasive\, that’s no excuse to quit searching.  \nRandom Desire started in the aftermath of the last Whigs record\, 2017’s In Spades\, which Pitchfork named one of the best rock records of the year\, hailing it as a “heavy\, menacing work of indie rock majesty…thrilling and unsettling.” Drummer Patrick Keeler was about to take a short sabbatical to record and tour with his other band\, The Raconteurs. Dulli’s longtime collaborator\, bassist John Curley went back to school\, and there was the tragic death of the band’s guitarist\, Dave Rosser.  \nIn response\, Dulli returned to his teenage bedroom roots\, finding musical inspiration via the model of one-man-band visionaries Prince and Todd Rundgren. The Los Angeles-by-way-of-Hamilton Ohio native wrote nearly every part of the record from piano lines to drums to bass riffs. As always\, the music came first and the lyrics were completed later. Recording and writing way stations included his home in Silver Lake\, the village of Crestline high up in mountains above San Bernardino\, and New Orleans. But the bulk was finished amidst the arid beauty and stark isolation of Joshua Tree at the studio of engineer Christopher Thorn. Dulli handled most instrumentation\, but an all-star cast of characters appear across the track-listing including The Whigs’ guitarist Jon Skibic and multi-instrumentalist Rick G. Nelson\, Mathias Schneeberger (Twilight Singers)\, Mark McGuire (Emeralds)\, pedal steel wizard\, upright bassist\, and physician Dr. Stephen Patt\, and drummer Jon Theodore (Queens of the Stone Age\, The Mars Volta).  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | YouTube | Apple Music \n\n\n	Related

DESCRIPTION:The title of Barns Courtney’s new album will no doubt be familiar to anyone who’s ever searched for something online and found themselves face to face with nothing. But 404 is an album that explores feelings of loss and bereftness inspired by life’s habit of throwing up its own error pages\, with Barns exploring absence\, frustration\, and the never-ending search for something that seemed like it would always be there until one day\, suddenly\, it wasn’t: his childhood. “It’s painful knowing that something has gone\, whether it’s a good time\, a good feeling\, a pleasant section of existence\, or something physical. I’m always wondering: if you were to go back and find places you knew as a child\, what would they look like?” Barns says. \nThere was a time not so long ago when a 16-year-old kid who’d spent his teens ricocheting between Seattle and Ipswich thought he was about to be the biggest star in the world. He and some mates got a deal with the biggest of all the big labels\, then spent three years working with one of the planet’s hottest producers. What could go wrong? Well\, plenty. “My entire life since I was 14 had been an upward trajectory\,” is how Barns remembers it. “Then suddenly at the age of 22 I’m dropped\, I’m totally\, woefully unprepared for the real world. No qualifications. I didn’t bother learning to drive\, because I thought I’d be driven everywhere. Thank God I didn’t have any success – I would have been a complete ass.” \nThe years in the wilderness that followed formed the basis of Barns’ 2017 debut album The Attractions Of Youth\, a blistering shot of blues-driven rock that got this singular pop performer’s foot back in the door. Songs like Glitter & Gold and Fire became viral smashes\, prompting a swell of support on both sides of the Atlantic that saw Barns performing on Conan O’Brien and opening for everyone from The Who\, to Blur\, to Ed Sheeran. Which brings us to 2019 and a body of work that finds this reflexive\, meticulous pop storyteller delivering a minutely crafted album with big tunes\, flashes of humour and no shortage of ambition. Kickstarted by 2018’s sparky\, Atari-referencing single 99\, it’s an album that delves back beyond the arrested development of Barns’ early-20s and into the teens he spent in Seattle and then Ipswich. \n“The record’s partly about the bizarre modern formalisation of fun\, and the strange ritual that we all go through from childhood into adulthood\,” is how Barns describes one aspect of the music. And layered on top of that all\, because there really is quite a lot going on in this album\, is Barns’ experience of being out of town – and taking time out of real life – then coming back down to earth with a bump. “You go off and live this fantastical existence\, play these shows and have fun\, and you come back and you expect everyone to be the same as they were when you left\,” he notes. “But they’ve all grown up. It’s like Peter Pan coming back from Neverland.” \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

Now signed to Warner Records through a joint venture with her own Clover Music\, JoJo has begun with new releases “Joanna” and the Doc McKinney-produced “Sabotage (feat. CHIKA)\,” and is looking ahead to her new album to come in spring 2020. Having released her self-titled debut album when she was just 13\, JoJo’s breakout smash “Leave (Get Out)” made JoJo the youngest-ever solo artist to have a debut #1 single in the U.S. and to be nominated for “Best New Artist” at the MTV Video Music Awards.

SUMMARY:Andy Shauf
DESCRIPTION:This show has been rescheduled to December 8th. \n  \nFew artists are storytellers as deft and disarmingly observational as Andy Shauf. The Toronto-based\, Saskatchewan-raised musician’s songs unfold like short fiction: they’re densely layered with colorful characters and a rich emotional depth. On his new album The Neon Skyline (out January 24 via ANTI-)\, he sets a familiar scene of inviting a friend for beers on the opening title track: “I said\, ‘Come to the Skyline\, I’ll be washing my sins away.’ He just laughed\, said ‘I’ll be late\, you know how I can be.’” The LP’s 11 interconnected tracks follow a simple plot: the narrator goes to his neighborhood dive\, finds out his ex is back in town\, and she eventually shows up. While its overarching narrative is riveting\, the real thrill of the album comes from how Shauf finds the humanity and humor in a typical night out and the ashes of a past relationship.  \nHis last full-length 2016’s The Party was an impressive collection of ornate and affecting songs that followed different attendees of a house party. Shauf’s attention-to-detail in his writing evoked Randy Newman and his unorthodox\, flowing lyrical phrasing recalled Joni Mitchell. Though that album was his breakthrough\, his undeniable songwriting talent has been long evident. Raised in Bienfait\, Saskatchewan\, he cut his teeth in the nearby Regina music community. His 2012 LP The Bearer of Bad News documented his already-formed musical ambition and showcased Shauf’s burgeoning voice as a narrative songwriter with songs like “Hometown Hero\,” “Wendell Walker\,” and “My Dear Helen” feeling like standalone\, self-contained worlds. In 2018\, his band Foxwarren\, formed over 10 years ago with childhood friends\, released a self-titled album where Pitchfork recognized how “Shauf has diligently refined his storytelling during the last decade.”  \nThe Party earned a spot on the Polaris Music Prize 2016 shortlist and launched Shauf to an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden as well as glowing accolades from NPR\, The Washington Post\, The Guardian\, and more. “That LP was a concept record and it really made me want to do a better album. I wanted to have a more cohesive story\,” says Shauf. Where the concept of The Party revealed itself midway through the writing process\, he knew the story he wanted to tell on The Neon Skyline from the start. “I kept coming back to the same situation of one guy going to a bar\, which was basically exactly what I was doing at the time. These songs are fictional but it’s not too far off from where my life was\,” Shauf explains.  \nFor The Neon Skyline\, Shauf chose to start each composition on guitar instead of his usual piano. He says\, “I wanted to be able to sit down and play each song with just a guitar without having to rely on some sort of a clever arrangement to make it whole.” The resulting album finds its immediacy in simplicity. While the arrangements on folksy “The Moon” are unfussy and song-centered like the best Gordon Lightfoot offerings\, his drive to experiment is still obvious. This is especially so on the unmoored relationship autopsy “Thirteen Hours\,” which boasts an arrangement that’s both jazzy and adventurous.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Guided By Voices
DESCRIPTION:Guided By Voices\, Space Gun: Robert Pollard is the greatest rock songwriter of the last thirty years\, an uninhibited explorer of the four Ps: pop\, punk\, psych\, and prog. It’s easy to take him for granted when he’s releasing multiple records a year with various projects\, as he has pretty steadily since disbanding GBV the first time in 2004. So it really meant something that Space Gun was the only GBV release of the year\, and boy was it a great one — another sign that the current lineup\, along with producer Travis Harrison\, might be the strongest band Pollard has ever played with. They unleash anthemic classic rock that harkens back to the best of mid-period GBV (“Space Gun\,” “See My Field”)\, impossibly catchy and sleazy ’70s riffs (“Colonel Paper\,” “Daily Get Ups”)\, majestic reverb-drenched curios (“That’s Good\,” “Blink Blank”)\, Kiwi Rock pop gems (“Ark Technician\,” “I Love Kangaroos”) and heavier prog rock (“Sport Component National\,” “Evolution Circus”). If you haven’t seen them live\, I can’t recommend it enough — they hit you with one would-be smash hit after another on a Miller Lite-fueled high\, which can ensnare even on-the-fence observers.  \n– Ben Yakas\, Gothamist\, “The Best Albums Of 2018”  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:WAVVES King of the Beach 10 Year Anniversary USA Tour
DESCRIPTION:The word ‘brat’ has followed Nathan Williams around for almost a decade\, but at the age of 30\, with a fully-fledged business to his name\, as well as the ongoing success of band Wavves\, his rebellious streak has proven not just purposeful but pretty damn inspiring. The San Diego native knows how to play the system\, so when the major labels came knocking a few years ago looking to turn Wavves into the next so-called saviours of radio rock’n’roll\, Williams and bassist Stephen Pope made sure they used it to their advantage.  \n“We were just trying to go to eat at nice places in LA\,” he laughs. “There were a few people from majors who would not stop reaching out to us. They were obsessed. They thought we had heat and they needed an edgy big rock band like they used to have in the ’90s. Me and Stephen were in our shitty apartments\, Googling ‘nicest restaurants in LA’. We went to eight or nine dinners. At the end we’d say\, ‘not interested’.”  \nWhen Warners came along and offered them a cash advance too good to refuse\, they accepted while being shrewdly aware of what they were getting themselves into. “We still owned all of our shit\, which was the most important part for us. For them it was a shot in the dark.” The day to day of being signed to a major\, however\, was unpredictable and beyond their wildest nightmares. “I figured it would run the same as [prior label] Fat Possum\, just with more people. I was wrong.” By the time they were readying to release their second Warners album – 2015’s ‘V’ – shots were fired. Williams released single ‘Way Too Much’ on Soundcloud before the label had approved it\, the label forgot to sign off on the artwork and\, in the end\, Wavves felt swept under the rug. Ultimately it felt like a career step backwards.  \n“I’d never come in contact with such a poorly run company in my life\,” says Williams. “It was anarchy. Nobody knew what they were doing. Turnover rate was like an American Apparel. It was really all cons – unless you’re a cash cow. For everyone else\, major labels can’t help you. Maybe at one time they could\, but that time is dead.” The birds-eye view on Warners’ inner mess wound up pushing Williams to legitimize his own business – Ghostramp. “I figured if these idiots could get by\, we could do it a hundred times better.”  \nWith that fighting spirit\, Williams took back control and realized his own teenage dreams. Today\, during a Monday lunchtime hour\, he’s making time between meetings to talk about forthcoming sixth Wavves record ‘You’re Welcome’ in the stock room at Ghostramp’s Chinatown-based LA skate shop. Opening in October 2016\, Ghostramp is the physical embodiment of a vision that harks back to before Williams made the first Wavves’ albums in his parents’ garage. It’s a merchandise store\, it’s a label\, it’s a tangible community in a time when the digital age has taken the confidence out of physical product. And – what’s more – it’s working. ‘You’re Welcome’ is the soundtrack to this new lease of freedom. It’s Williams’ tongue-in-cheek rebirth as a self-released\, self-actualized\, self-promoting punk kingpin\, and despite putting his money where his uncensored mouth is\, he’s emerged not just unscathed but with the upper hand. “I’m my own boss and that feels great\,” he smiles.  \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | InstagramRescheduled to October 26th \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Real Estate
DESCRIPTION:The band Real Estate have spent the last decade crafting warm yet meticulous pop-minded music\, specializing in soaring melodies that are sentimentally evocative and unmistakably their own. They released their fourth and most recent album In Mind in early 2017\, which was met with glowing reviews from media and fans alike\, many of whom fell in love with the brilliantly melodic songwriting and rich lyricism of the band’s previous breakthrough record\, Atlas (2014). Real Estate have played festival stages worldwide\, including Coachella and Glastonbury\, and the In Mind tour saw them play the largest rooms of their career\, to fans eager to experience album highlights like singles “Darling” and “Stained Glass”. Real Estate have been hinting at a new release\, with fans at recent 2019 shows being surprised with live versions of previously-unheard songs. It seems likely that 2020 will bring a fifth record from the beloved group\, who excel at “deriving meaning from shimmering beauty” [NEW YORK TIMES]. \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | SoundCloud | Spotify | YouTube \n\n\n	Related

SUMMARY:Brother Ali
DESCRIPTION:Over the past 17 years\, Brother Ali has earned wide critical acclaim for his deeply personal\, socially conscious\, and inspiring brand of hip-hop. Under Rhymesayers Entertainment\, he’s unleashed a series of lauded projects\, establishing himself as one of the most respected independent voices in music. The latest chapter in that celebrated journey is All the Beauty in This Whole Life\, a 15-track collection produced entirely by Atmosphere’s Anthony “Ant” Davis. \n“This entire album is based on the reality that beauty is the splendor of truth” says the Minneapolis MC. “Beauty in all of its forms is the outward manifestation of love and virtue. It soothes the soul and pulls it gently toward the truth it communicates. Every word and note of this album is intended to either reflect beauty\, or expose the ugliness that blocks us from living lives of meaning.” \nAll the Beauty in This Whole Life is Ali’s first official release in five years and represents the newest and most refined chapter of his life’s journey. “Each of my albums are the result of the pain\, growth and eventual healing that I experience. Articulating the pain and navigating the healing allows the people who really feel my music to travel with me. It’s not only that we hurt together\, we heal together as well.” \nContrasting intensely heavy moments with joyous and grateful ones\, All the Beauty in This Whole Life arrives right on time\, to help heal a divided nation through the power of music. Ali wouldn’t have it any other way. “In times of great suffering in the outside world\, the most important battles start from within.” \nLinks: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | SoundCloud | YouTube \n\nOpen Mike Eagle Links: Website | Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | SoundCloud | YouTube \n\n\n	Related
