American Aquarium & Sons of Bill Spring Tour

April 2nd, 2010 | No Comments

AMERICAN AQUARIUM AND SONS OF BILL “LIFE IN SHAMBLES” SPRING TOUR
2010

American Aquarium

As complicated as life in 2010 may have become, it’s some comfort to know there are still simple guys out there
playing simple music. Simple guys that can go out any night of the week and put together a rock and roll show we
can all believe in. It was as simple as James Wilson (Sons of Bill) making contact with
BJ Barham (American
Aquarium) at the end of 2009 to propose a tour for their bands that would help further bond a growing
community of music fans around their roots/Americana/alt-country songwriting and performances. The hope is
that this will not just be another lineup at the bar, but rather a chance to celebrate a new school of bands that are
tending the vibrant traditions of rock and country music and the sense of community they can foster, especially in
hard times. As a tongue-in-cheek testament to the times, the boys in the bands thought it appropriate to call this
tour “Life in Shambles.”

The tour kicks off in Raleigh, NC on May 1 to celebrate the release of American Aquarium’s new record,
Small Town Hymns (Last Chance Records). The entourage will then continue along a three week run that covers the East Coast with each band taking the closing slot on different nights. There will certainly
be cold beers consumed, collaborations and conspiracies, and some kick ass rock and roll played at high volumes.

American Aquarium & Sons of Bill “Life in Shambles” Spring Tour 2010:

05/01/10 Sat The Pour House Music Hall Raleigh, NC

05/02/10 Sun New Brookland Tavern West Columbia, SC

05/04/10 Tue Skipper’s Smokehouse Tampa, FL

05/05/10 Wed Jack Rabbits Jacksonville, FL

Balkan Beat Box: Album/Tour

Balkan Beat Box’s Blue Eyes Black Boy Out April 27
March Tour Dates Confirmed

Balkan Beat Box

Balkan Beat Box‘s highly anticipated new set, Blue Eyed Black Boy, is due out April 27 on Nat Geo Music. The album follows 2007′s Nu Med.

Blue Eyed Black Boy was recorded in Tel Aviv and Belgrade in the midst of anti-Kosovo riots.

“It was a very tense atmosphere, but we were in our studio, away from all that, translating that intense energy into something positive and good,” says Ori Kaplan, saxophone player and 1/3 of the Balkan Beat Box trio.

Self-produced by Balkan Beat Box, Blue Eyed Black Boy features a variety of musical instruments and guest appearances, including a local gypsy orchestra from Belgrade called Jovica Ajdarevic Orkestar. The album combines the musical elements of Mediterranean and Balkan traditions with hip hop beats and punk influences.

“It’s always amazing when the three of us get together in the studio,” says Kaplan. “It’s a great dynamic that none of us ever had before in a band, a true collaboration. Each of us has his specialty, Tamir brings the beats and production, Tomer is the lyricist, and I do the melodies and the horns. We bring these three elements together so naturally. We trigger off each other.”

Balkan Beat Box will bring their live show to the U.S. with a handful of tour dates in March.

MAYER HAWTHORNE AND THE COUNTRY ANNOUNCE TOUR DATES

Mayer Hawthorne

The Motor City crooner of soul, Mayer Hawthorne, is taking his band The Country with him across North America for a month-long tour starting on March 4 in New York City.

The multi-instrumentalist/singer/producer will be making much-anticipated stops along the way to play three days at Austin’s SXSW Festival, and will end the tour on April 18 with a Sunday night serenade at Coachella.

Many became familiar with Mayer’s R&B soul style in 2009 with the release of his debut album, A Strange Arrangement on Stone’s Throw Records, which received the approval of critics from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, The New York Times, NPR, O Magazine, Pitchfork and Alarm, among others.

Supporting Mayer for the first leg of his tour is Nikki Jean, the songwriter and pianist for Nouveau Riche. The second leg of the tour will include Mayer opening for the popular electro-pop band Passion Pit.
