Justin Townes Earle: New Album & Tour Dates

July 19th, 2010 | No Comments

FOLLOW-UP TO 2009′S MIDNIGHT AT THE MOVIES OUT SEPTEMBER 14 VIA BLOODSHOT
RECORDS

Justin Townes Earle

Bloodshot Records is pleased to announce the impending release of Harlem River Blues, the third
full-length from
Justin Townes Earle. The
record, in stores September 14, is the much-anticipated follow-up to 2009′s Midnight at
the Movies.

Compared to the much-lauded Midnight at the Movies, Harlem River Blues is more mature and
increasingly
nuanced, while still embracing the raw voice and clean sound of previous standout tracks like Â“Mama’s Eyes.Â”
Featuring guest appearances from Jason Isbell, Bryn Davies and Calexico’s Paul Niehaus, it’s rockin’ and reelin’ at
times, sweet and slow at others – and it’s great. Like good fried chicken, a well-cut suit and a hand made guitar,
there’s heaven to be found in the beautifully crafted simpler things.

2010 Tour Dates:

July 29 Rochester, NY Party in the Park*
July 30 Northampton, MA The Iron Horse

JamBase Questionnaire: Plants and Animals

July 16th, 2010 | No Comments

Welcome back to JamBase’s baker’s dozen to the bright lights of the music world. Last time we heard from Chatham County Line.

Matthew Woodley by Scott Eagle

Plants and Animals are an evolutionary entity. There lays the forward rushing molecular energy of new things forming inside what seem pop and rock vessels. Only two full-length albums in this Montreal-based band is handily slithering out of easy definitions and rote rockin’ with the fabulous La La Land (released April 20 on Secret City Records), which engages with pop culture in a wholly winning, smarter-than-most way. In wrestling with “American Idol” and “Tom Cruz” (two cheekily titled cuts), Plants and Animals find depth in the shallows of contemporary life. And beyond the brainy subtext, La La Land offers up beautiful, sometimes elegiac music that’s unafraid to saunter into brittle jitter, island streams, Beatles-esque grandeur or ambient exploration. Kindred spirits include Apollo Sunshine, Big Light and The Slip, whose Brad Barr guests on piano. Put another way, La La Land is one of those glorious slabs that gives up its juices slowly but quenches every time. (Dennis Cook)

Here’s what Plants and Animals’ Matthew Woody Woodley had to say to our inquiries.

Nicknames: Le Woodman

Instrument of choice: drizums

1. Great music rarely happens withoutÂ…
Soooooul

2. The first album I bought wasÂ…
a-ha‘s Hunting High and Low.

3. The last song or album to really flip my wig wasÂ…
a-ha’s “The Sun Always Shines on T.V.”

4. When I was a kid I wanted to grow up to beÂ…
An orthodontist

5. My favorite sort of gig isÂ…
Old theatres with thick curtains

6. One thing I wish people knew about me isÂ…
I have an underground indie orthodontist practice back home in Montreal.

7. I love the sound ofÂ…
The barred owl. “Who cooks for you?”

8. One day I hope to make an album as fantastic asÂ…
Al Green’s Greatest Hits

9. The best meal I ever had on tour was atÂ…
Guu – Japanese fusion tapas in Vancouver

10. I always find the coolest audiences inÂ…
Montreal. No place like home. A close runner up is Reykjavik, Iceland.

11. The worst habit I’ve picked up being on the road all the time isÂ…
Letting things slide in shows that shouldn’t slide.

12. The Beatles or the Stones? Por que?
The Stones. Murky voodoo magic. The Beatles did some pretty okay stuff too though.

13. The craziest thing I ever saw wasÂ…
Once Bill Clinton waved at me from a limo.

Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti: Fall Tour Dates w/ Flaming Lips

July 12th, 2010 | No Comments

TOUR DATES WITH THE FLAMING LIPS, PURO INSTINCT AND MAGIC KIDS

Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti

Ariel Pink’s
Haunted
Graffiti‘s 4AD debut record, Before Today, consists of twelve tracks
(including the single “Round And Round”) and was released worldwide on June 8th 2010 on
CD, LP and digital
formats.

Six months in the making, Before Today was recorded in part in Encino at the House
of Blues (once Tito
Jackson’s home studio) with Sunny Levine (Quincy Jones’ grandson) and Rik Pekkonen (Bill
Withers, Seals & Crofts,
Bread) as well as at the band’s home studios. The result is a beguiling mix of glam rock,
West Coast funk and
Merseybeat harmonies with a high-production sheen; a contrast to the corroded bedroom
recordings that have
fomented a fervent cult following over the past decade.

The outfit now consists of reclusive pop surrealist Ariel Pink (vocals) alongside
Tim Koh
(bass/vocals), Kenny Gilmore (guitar/vocals) and Aaron Sperske
(drums/vocals).
