The Hold Steady New Album Heaven Is Whenever 5/4

February 23rd, 2010 | No Comments

The Hold Steady’s Heaven Is Whenever Set For Release May 4

The Hold Steady

The Hold Steady, lauded for the scope, depth, truth and heart they bring to chronicling the American rock myth, recently put the finishing touches on Heaven Is Whenever, their new album set for release May 4 on Vagrant Records. The album was produced by Dean Baltulonis, who engineered the band’s Almost Killed Me and produced Separation Sunday, and was recorded at Dreamland Recording Studios in Upstate NY and Wild Arctic Studios in Queens, NY, with mixing also happening at Wild Arctic.

Singer Craig Finn says Heaven Is Whenever is about “embracing suffering and understanding its place in a joyful life. The lyrics speak a lot about struggle and reward.” Piano and keys take a backseat to guitar on the new record, which also gets production help from guitarist Tad Kubler. “I really believe the album exposes new elements of the band that we hinted at on other records but weren’t able to fully realize until this one,” says Kubler. “Rather than just concentrate on changes in the instrumentation, we made changes to the song writing process.”

Recorded in several smaller sessions spread out over a long period of time, the songs on Heaven Is Whenever received the benefit of being tested on the band’s recent tours. There was also a makeshift recording booth set up on the back of their tour bus so songs and musical ideas could be documented as they developed. As Finn says this allowed them to “see what was working and what wasn’t. I believe this record benefits from us working at a more deliberate pace.”

Following the release of 2008′s critically acclaimed Stay Positive, which gave the band its highest Billboard chart position to date, The Hold Steady toured relentlessly, playing to some of their biggest audiences to date.

The Hold Steady is: Craig Finn, Tad Kubler, Galen Polivka, Bobby Drake

Heaven Is Whenever Track Listing:

1. The Sweet Part of the City

2. Soft in the Center

3. The Weekenders

4. The Smidge

Kaki King: Junior Out 4/13 Signs To Rounder

January 28th, 2010 | No Comments

KAKI KING SIGNS TO ROUNDER RECORDS, JUNIOR OUT APRIL 13

Kaki King

Singer & guitarist extraordinaire Kaki King has signed with Rounder Records. Named a “Guitar God” by Rolling Stone, King has spent the past decade gathering critical acclaim and fan admiration. She received a Golden Globe nomination for her contribution to the musical score of the 2007 film Into the Wild, and also performed on the Foo Fighters‘ 2007 Grammy winning album, Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace.

As with her previous album, 2008′s Dreaming of Revenge, Junior was produced by Malcolm Burn (Emmylou Harris, Patti Smith), but unlike each of King’s previous efforts – where she recorded all the instruments herself – for Junior she enlisted help from multi-instrumentalist Dan Brantigan and drummer Jordan Perlson. King wrote each of the album’s 11 songs.

Following her previously announced European dates, King will spend the Spring in the U.S., hitting New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Nashville, Chicago and Los Angeles, among many others.

THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS TOUR WITH TROMBONE SHORTY AND SALVADOR SANTANA

The New Mastersounds

Kicking off 2010 with an international tour including Japan, Spain and the United Kingdom, The New Mastersounds are already jet setting their way across the globe. The band’s first U.S. tour will begin March 3 in Boulder, CO at The Fox Theatre with San Francisco Bay Area musician (and son of 10x Grammy winner Carlos) Salvador Santana. Trombone Shorty & Orleans Avenue will be co-headlining on select dates.

The New Mastersounds will be touring in support of the fan driven November 2009 release Ten Years On. The band also released Plug & Play on Fontana/One Note Records in March 2009, providing a steady flow of new music for their live shows. The New Mastersounds’ live shows have been met with overwhelming enthusiasm; Encore Online says “upon listening to their deep, open-ended and warm sound it’s apparent why they are blowing up on the international funk scene and are now taking America one show at a time.”

Led by guitarist and producer Eddie Roberts, The New Mastersounds feature Joe Tatton on keys, Pete Shand on bass and Simon Allen on drums.

The band will set up shop for three nights at the historic Great American Music Hall in San Francisco on March 17, 18 and 19. There will be a limited number of three-day tickets available through the band’s official site. The band will also spend two nights at the recently redesigned Seattle landmark, the Crocodile Cafe. Don’t miss these intimate performances.

The Presale is underway now for all shows (except Vancouver, which is already on sale to the public) and will run through early January. All additional show details, including the public on sale dates can be found on the gigs page.

While recently at the Crossing Border Festival in Den Haag, Tom stopped by the KINK (Netherlands) Performance Space to perform a couple of songs. Check out the session here.

The Album Leaf: 2010Tour Dates

December 1st, 2009 | No Comments

THE ALBUM LEAF ANNOUNCE FEBRUARY TOUR DATES

The Album Leaf

A Chorus of Storytellers was recorded by Ryan Hadlock in the frosty month of February 2009 at Bear Creek Studio just outside of Seattle. It was mixed in the decidedly warmer month of June in Reykjavik, Iceland by Birgir Jon Birgisson (of Sigur Ros). Those paying attention will notice that this is nearly the same way their last album, Into the Blue Again, was recorded.

There is, however, one fundamental difference between this and every other album The Album Leaf has ever recorded. For the first time in five albums, The Album Leaf recorded as a whole band. In the past, almost every instrument was performed by principal songwriter and multi-instrumentalist Jimmy LaValle. This time the whole band was invited to participate and the result is their best record yet.

The Album Leaf Tour Dates
02/05/10 Fri Doug Fir Portland, OR

02/06/10 Sat Neumos Seattle, WA

02/12/10 Fri Great American Music Hall San Francisco, CA

02/13/10 Sat El Rey Theatre Los Angeles, CA
