EXTENSIVE NORTH AMERICAN SUMMER TOUR BEGINS IN JUNE
 Femi Kuti |
On June 3 in New York City, Afrobeat pioneer Femi Kuti, backed by his
band the Positive Force, will begin a 24-date summer tour spanning North
America, including several shows opening for the Dave Matthews Band, a
headline appearance at the Hollywood Bowl and performances at the Bonnaroo,
Montreal Jazz and Rothbury Music festivals. Kuti’s performances will
feature material from his first studio album of new material in seven years,
the acclaimed Day By Day.
Femi is ready to bring his new material from Day By Day to the many cities
comprising the summer tour. It’s easy to hear that the long respite has
inspired him. He is upbeat, enthusiastic and raring to hit the road again,
in spite of how much has changed since he began his hiatus. “Everybody is
back in training now,” he says. “We have to re-establish my music. We have
to come out and play it live, because the record industry is in such a bad
shape, we are all suffering.”
“Luckily,” he laughs, “the African man is used to suffering.”
Check out JamBase’s 2008 interview with Femi Kuti here.

The Juan MacLean & Field Tour

The Juan MacLean and The Field co-headlining a full LIVE band U.S. Tour
Welcome back intelligent dance music, we’ve missed you. – Music OMH, February 2009
 The Juan MacLean |
After releasing the much anticipated The Future Will Come (due 4/21 on DFA Records), Juan MacLean and Nancy Whang take The Juan MacLean on the road this spring. Juan, Nancy and band will be playing tracks live from The Future Will Come, which Filter magazine described as “perfectly orchestrated and directed to achieve maximum mood and dance-ability.” If the weather doesn’t make you sweat, your dance moves will.
The Juan MacLean is co-headlining the tour with Stockholm’s Axel Willner, aka The Field (Kompakt). After breaking out of the “boy and his laptop” mold following a tour with !!!, Willner teamed up with friends – percussionist/bass player Dan Enqvist and multi-instrumentalist Andreas Söderstrom to see what they could accomplish playing together. Modernizing their kraut rock influences, The Field recorded Yesterday & Today, due out May 19 on Anti- Records.
Co-sponsored by Scion and Nooka Toys, this is one dance party you do not want to miss.
Speaking of Nooka Toys, The Juan MacLean will have their very own Nooka Nooka Toy designed by Mike Vadino, who also designed the album cover for The Future Will Come.
