Lou Barlow: Album & Tour

July 10th, 2009 | No Comments

Lou Barlow Readies His Solo Release And Preps For Tour


Lou Barlow

On October 6, Merge Records will release Lou Barlow‘s new album, Goodnight Unknown. In the four years since his career-redefining, mostly acoustic record Emoh, Lou Barlow has reunited with Dinosaur Jr. and reissued three of Sebadoh‘s classic albums. But as the brilliant new Goodnight Unknown illustrates, he’s hardly living in the past. Borrowing the live-band energy of Dinosaur Jr. and the stylistic reach of Sebadoh, Barlow has built on Emoh‘s full production and written a set of immediate, melodic pop songs that Lou describes as, “a cross between my later work with Folk Implosion and my earlier work with Sebadoh… to my ears, anyway.”

From the surging opening track “Sharing” to the surprisingly soulful performances on “The Right,” Goodnight Unknown benefits from Barlow’s tunefulness and his decision to record the record relatively quickly, with old friends and new. The Melvins‘ Dale Crover adds inspired drum work throughout, and Goodnight Unknown‘s urgent sound owes just as much to frequent Barlow collaborator Imaad Wasif (Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Alaska!). The record’s considerable power also stems from the new talents on board, including producer Andrew Murdock and Lisa Germano.

Lou Barlow + The Missingmen will be on tour throughout the fall opening for Dinosaur Jr. The Missingmen are guitarist Tom Watson and drummer Raul Morales. Lou “stole” them from Mike Watt for this tour, and is excited to be bringing you the full band experience of Goodnight Unknown.

1. Sharing

2. Goodnight Unknown

3. Too Much Freedom

4. Faith In Your Heartbeat

5. The One I Call

7. Gravitate

Contador blitzes clear of Armstrong

July 10th, 2009 | No Comments

• Contador attack takes him above team-mate Lance Armstrong
• Fabian Cancellara loses yellow jersey to Rinaldo Nocentini

Alberto Contador’s stunning charge took him to within six seconds of the overall lead, as France’s Brice Feillu won the seventh stage of the Tour de France in a solo breakaway.

Switzerland’s Fabian Cancellara, who trailed far behind the main pack, lost the yellow jersey he had held since the opening time trial to Italy’s Rinaldo Nocentini, who was fourth, but it was Contador who laid down a marker, finishing 21 seconds ahead of his Astana team-mate Lance Armstrong.

Armstrong lies third overall, eight seconds behind Nocentini – the first Italian to wear the yellow jersey since 2000 – after the 224km trek from Barcelona to the Andorran ski resort of Arcalis, the longest stage of the Tour.

Competitors scaled the “hors catégorie” Serra-Seca pass, before the climb into Arcalis that is one of the toughest ascents in professional cycling. Riders embark on two more days in the Pyrenees before a rest day Monday.

“It’s a nice victory,” said Feillu, a 23-year-old riding in his first Tour.

Stage seven standings

1. Brice Feillu, 6h 11′ 31″

2. Christophe Kern, 6h 11′ 36″ + 00′ 05″

3. Johannes Fröhlinger, 6h 11′ 56″ + 00′ 25″

4. Rinaldo Nocentini, 6h 11′ 57″ + 00′ 26″

5. Egoi Martinez, 6h 12′ 16″ + 00′ 45″

6. Christophe Riblon, 6h 12′ 36″ + 01′ 05″

7. Jérôme Pineau, 6h 14′ 03″ + 02′ 32″

8. José Ivan Gutierrez, 6h 14′ 45″ + 03′ 14″

9. Alberto Contador, 6h 14′ 57″ + 03′ 26″

10. Cadel Evans, 6h 15′ 18″ + 03′ 47″

11. Andy Schleck, 6h 15′ 18″ + 03′ 47″

Femi Kuti: Tour

April 19th, 2009 | No Comments

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.”

The Juan MacLean & Field Tour

April 18th, 2009 | No Comments

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.
