  • Pimienta Breaks Records with Her World Premiere at New York City Ballet Fall Fashion Gala

    The world premiere at the New York City Ballet Fall Fashion Gala has broken records and barriers. Lido Pimienta, one of the few female composers in the Company as well as the first-ever composer of color and made her world debut on stage on September 30th.

    Contemporary choreographer Andrea Miller (GALLIM) had Pimienta perform the piece live on stage with the company complete with five additional presentations run through October 12 at Lincoln Center in Manhattan. Thanks to this year’s Gala co-chairs like Sarah Jessica Parker, Georgina Bloomberg, Laverne Cox, Claire Danes and Hugh Dancy, Diane Kruger, Mazdack and Zanna Rassi, Deborah Roberts and Al Roker, and Jordan Roth we can expect to break more barriers as time passes.

    Pimienta

    Pimienta’s rise to fame with Miller was featured in the NY Times this week for their historic partnership with New York City Ballet. Want to see more of her? Her fall tour will take place at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 15 with performances with Sylvan Esso including two nights at Terminal 5 in NYC on November 15 and 16. If you won’t be in the city you can find her making her debut at Big Ears Festival in Knoxville, TN this February.  

    Limienta earned her first GRAMMY and Latin GRAMMY nomination with her 2020 release of Miss Colombia (ANTI-). This multi talented star has heads turning from the NY Times, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, NPR and far beyond. Her debut album, La Papessa, also won Canada’s prestigious Polaris Prize and performed at the 2021 GRAMMY Awards Premiere Ceremony. Pimienta talent is limitless dipping from a composer, prolific visual artist, and electrifying live performer earning her collabs with Bomba Estereo and Ricky Reed.

    The New Miller work featuring Pimienta’s composition is part of the NYC Ballet Innovators & Icons series. More information and tickets here: https://www.nycballet.com/season-and-tickets/calendar

  • Turkuaz Cancel Many 2021 Fall Tour Dates

    Turkuaz has announced they are cancelling a majority of their Fall 2021 tour dates, citing health risks and logistics for the 9-piece Brooklyn-based touring band.

    Turkuaz Fall tour 2021

    The band made the following statement on their Facebook page:

    To All Our Fans,

    We have made the extremely difficult decision to cancel much of our upcoming Fall Tour.

    While the dates we had set out on this past August were primed to be an exciting return, there were many challenges we encountered in facing the reality of touring in these adverse conditions. Between unforeseen cancelations, health and safety risks, and logistical travel concerns, touring in this ever-changing reality proved to be very difficult. The resulting impact has forced us to take a hard look at our ability to go back out on tour while we are still facing these same issues and more, including continued public health concerns.

    Touring is our life, and performing live for our fans is the best part of our job. This makes the realities we’re facing disappointing, but unfortunately necessary. The dates remaining are a result of reexamining what is logistically feasible, and keeps the many moving pieces in a band and touring operation of our size safe and secure. To the friends and fans in the cities that we must cancel, please know that we WILL be back! It’s just going to be a bit longer than we’d hoped for.

    Refunds for all tickets purchased to all cancelled dates will be issued from the original point of purchase. Below is a list of tour dates that are still occurring. All Remain In Light performances will continue as planned. We’re grateful to our fans for understanding this decision and the difficult situation. Thank you for your continued support.

  • LCD Soundsystem announces 20-show Residency at Brooklyn Steel

    LCD Soundsystem will return to Brooklyn Steel for a 20 show residency, starting November 23rd. Marking the groups first performances since 2018, the run will extend through December 21, for an unprecedented string of shows.

    LCD Soundsystem

    The residency comes on the July announcement from James Murphy that the group was on a ‘full hiatus,’ while on WTF with Marc Maron. At the time, Murphy said:

    Right now, we’re on a full hiatus. Because of the nature of the band, when we’re not touring, we’re just, like, back to normal life completely… Everyone does other stuff. Everyone has their own things going on. So for us to put [a new record] together, we just kind of have to decide to do it.

    James Murphy

    LCD Soundsystem held their now-legendary farewell concert at Madison Square Garden on April 2, 2011, with a live album of the show, The Long Goodbye, being released shortly after.

    Read the story behind LCD Soundsystem’s “New York, I Love You But You’re Bringing Me Down”

    Murphy spoke to Pitchfork recently on how COVID-19 affected his music:

    Not being able to play live was fine because we probably wouldn’t have been able to play live then. And I couldn’t make LCD music. It didn’t seem like the right thing to be doing at that moment for lots of reasons. You know, we’re kind of a party band about a grumpy old guy making songs about music and in the middle of a global pandemic of people dying, and in the middle of Black Lives Matter, it just didn’t seem like, “You know what everybody needs right now? Another snarky LCD Soundsystem record, that’s sort of what the world needs at this moment.”

    Tickets for all 20 shows go on general sale Friday, October 8 at 10am ET here, while fan pre-sale will begin on Wednesday, October 6 at 10am ET – learn more here.

    LCD Soundsystem 2021 Dates:

    November 23-24, 29-30 – Brooklyn Steel

    December 1, 3-5, 7-9, 11-13, 15-17, 19-21 – Brooklyn Steel

  • California Party: Super Bowl 56 Halftime Show Announced, Eminem, Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige to perform

    As they say, California knows how to party and Super Bowl 56 in the Los Angeles Rams SoFi stadium will be bringing the city its largest festivities to date. Jay – Z and Roc Nation’s partnership with the NFL to handle all the league’s most important music events — including the halftime show — has resulted in what is possibly the most star-studded halftime presentation ever.  

    super bowl 56

    In unprecedented fashion, Roc Nation and the NFL have announced five headliners for the annual extravaganza. The show will feature iconic producer Dr. Dre, the highest-selling rapper of all-time in Eminem, The Doggfather, Snoop Dogg, one of the most influential rappers of his generation in Kendrick Lamar and the queen of R &B, Mary J. Blige. 

    In a statement released with the news, Jay – Z echoed the sentiments. 

    On February 13, 2022, at the Super Bowl, Dr. Dre, a musical visionary from Compton; Snoop Dogg, an icon from Long Beach; and Kendrick Lamar, a young musical pioneer in his own right, also from Compton; will take center field for a performance of a lifetime. They will be joined by the lyrical genius, Eminem; and the timeless Queen, Mary J. Blige … This is history in the making.

    The quintet of legendary acts have amassed 43 Grammy wins and 154 nominations amongst them and with their close association (Dr. Dre has worked extensively worked with Mary J. Blige and mentored Eminem, Snoop Dogg and Kendrick Lamar musically, along with the Death Row ties between Mary J., Snoop and Dre) there should be plenty of chemistry on stage. They will be able to seamlessly perform each other’s songs and have enough Billboard charting records to keep the crowd hanging on to every word. 

    The opportunity to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show, and to do it in my own backyard, will be one of the biggest thrills of my career,

    Dr Dre said in a statement

    I’m grateful to Jay-Z, Roc Nation, the NFL, and Pepsi as well as Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige and Kendrick Lamar for joining me in what will be an unforgettable cultural moment.

    Super Bowl 56 will be held on Sunday, February 13, 2022, and will feature the winners of the AFC and NFC championships, with the hosting team a serious contender to appear in the big game.

  • Parker Millsap will ‘Be Here Instead’ at Bowery Ballroom and Lark Hall this October

    Acclaimed singer-songwriter Parker Millsap has started a new tour in support of his latest critically acclaimed album, Be Here Instead. Millsap will arrive in New York for a show at Bowery Ballroom on Saturday, October 9, and Lark Hall in Albany on Sunday, October 10.

    Millsap’s fifth studio LP and first new album in close to three years, Be Here Instead marks a stylistic shift from the gritty and high-energy folk of the Oklahoma-bred, Nashville-based artist’s previous output. Mainly recorded live with Millsap’s full band, the album sees a departure from the guitar-and-notebook-based approach to songwriting that shaped his earlier work. Instead, Parker Millsap has followed his curiosity to countless other modes of expression, experimenting with everything from piano to effects pedals to old school drum machines (a fascination partly inspired by the early-’70s innovations of Sly Stone and J.J. Cale).

    parker milsap

    Be Here Instead was produced by the legendary John Agnello (Kurt Vile, Sonic Youth, Waxahatchee), and was heralded in January with the luminous “The Real Thing.” The song – which features guest vocals from Nashville singer Erin Rae – was also joined by a video, streaming now at YouTube. “The Real Thing” was met with a lot of excitement at radio, peaking at #1 on the Americana chart and sitting in the top 5 for 13 weeks, and making NPR’s Heavy Rotation list twice. In February, Millsap returned with the song “Vulnerable,” a lushly textured piece of psychedelic soul threaded with elegantly simple wisdom that Rolling Stone called “a shimmering dreamlike production that plays like an underwater orchestra.” The song was joined by a companion video directed by Casey Pierce. 

    He then released “Dammit,” one of the album’s most majestic moments as it unfolds as an unlikely epic that perfectly captures the nuances of existential frustration while working up a furious momentum that’s nothing less than exhilarating. It was also joined by an official music video.

  • Tool Announce Huge Tour, Stops in Belmont Park and Buffalo in 2022

    Tool has confirmed tour dates for shows taking place around the world in 2022, with dates kicking off in the United States in January. The prog-metal legends will play at the new UBS Arena on February 23 at Belmont Park, and at Key Bank Center in Buffalo on February 27.

    tool tour

    “It is with great pleasure I get to announce our return to the road,” Tool drummer Danny Carey stated. “These past 18 months have been trying to say the least but from great trials come great lessons and great rewards. We are genuinely looking forward to sharing them with you.”

    Singer Maynard James Keenan added, “Let’s finish what we started. Shall we?”

    Tool were set to play Eugene, Oregon last year just as the COVID-19 pandemic hit, and they’ll pick up right where they left off with a show at Matthew Knight Arena serving as the tour kickoff on January 10.

    Tool makes its way into the Northeast in mid-February, with shows in Boston, Philadelphia, Washington D.C., Belmont Park at the new UBS Arena, Newark and Buffalo at Key Bank Center.

    Blonde Redhead will support Tool from January 10 to February 10. The Acid Helps will serve as openers from February 19 to March 20.

    The eager return to the road follows the long-awaited 2019 album, Fear Inoculum, which led to the band earning the Best Metal Performance Grammy for the song “7empest.”

  • Phish announce 4 nights at Madison Square Garden for 2021 New Years Eve Run

    Vermont jam-lords Phish will celebrate the end of 2021 with four nights at Madison Square Garden, capping off a remarkable year for the group.

    Phish New Years 2021

    To say Phish is no stranger to Madison Square Garden would be a huge understatement. The band has played ‘The World’s Most Famous Arena’ a total of 64 times, with only Elton John and the Piano Man, Billy Joel, eclipsing their mark on the venue. The band played their first show at Madison Square Garden over New Years Eve in 1994, and playing one of their greatest shows ever on December 31, 1995, featuring the Gamehendge Time Factory.

    Read The Phish Before The Storm: December 30, 1995 At MSG, a look at the night before their historic 12/31/95 show.

    The band continued to perform on New Years Eve for many years to follow, including 4 night runs in 1997 and 1998, a single show to mark their return from hiatus on December 31, 2002, and finally returning to the venue in early December 2009 for three nights. New Years 2010 marked the first of a near consecutive string of runs over the end of the year, with the exception of 2014 when the band performed four nights in Miami. Since 2015, the band has performed at Madison Square Garden every New Years Eve since, sans 2020 due to COVID-19 and the ensuring music industry shutdown.

  • Slothrust Announce Additional Tourdates with stop at Hammerstein Ballroom, Share New Music Video

    Alt-rock group Slothrust have announced the first leg of their 2022 headlining tour, adding to their Fall 2021 tourdates with Manchester Orchestra. Fans on the West Coast are in luck, as the first seven dates will span across California, Oregon and Washington. The tour kicks off on March 17th at the Soda Bar in San Diego.

    The tour announcement comes on the heels of Slothrust’s most recent album Parallel Timeline, released earlier this month through Dangerbird Records. Bandleader Leah Wellbaum’s haunting, breathy alto grounds the dreamy record. Wellbaum said she sought to connect with her inner child through the writing process, centering herself in an ethos of freedom and uncensored catharsis. This vision is apparent through her vocal experimentation and the new, expansive production techniques the band uses. Even the records promotional imagery of bright inverted rainbows, reflects “a gateway to exploring the illusory things we see and experience in everyday life.” 

    Building on the theme of illusion, Slothrust also dropped a surreal new music video for track “Waiting.” Using the iconography of mandalas, Wellbaum moves through an uncertain and hazy world. Some of the imagery is notably childlike: clear balloons and bushels of fruit. Wellbaum grounds herself in the environment by brushing against plants or holding tight to her guitar.

    The refrain calls out “Set me free/ I’ve been waiting passively/ I’m not scared/ I’ve never been so prepared.” In other words, Slothrust and Wellbaum are ready to explore their own musical liminal state. After all, Wellbaum characterizes herself as a “strong believer that nothing is quite as it seems, and that a greater reality exists beyond what the human eye can see.” 

    Fans too eager to wait (or too broke to make it to California) for their headlining tour need not fret. That is to say, Slothrust have many upcoming shows supporting Manchester Orchestra and Foxing. The band will arrive in the New York area on October 21st, playing the Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City. After that, they’ll move south for Birmingham and Atlanta shows.
