Sights and Sounds: Pet Shop Boys, Trampled by Turtles, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Rathborne

Here are some cool Wednesday morning updates...

TUNE IN: PET SHOP BOYS LIVE ON KCRW'S MORNING BECOMES ECLECTIC TODAY AT

LOS ANGELES, CA - OCTOBER 9, 2013 - Pet Shop Boys will be performing live today on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic at 11:15 a.m. PDT. Los Angeles residents can tune in to 89.9 FM and the session can also be heard worldwide at kcrw.com. This will be the band's only North American radio appearance in support of their latest album Electric, which was hailed by critics. On Saturday, October 12, 2013 the duo will perform at Los Angeles' Shrine Auditorium before heading to Mexico for the final stop on their worldwide tour.
 
  
Pet Shop Boys said: "Electric is very much set on the dance floor.  Our latest album often evolves as a response to our previous album and, whereas Elysium had a reflective mood,
Electric is pretty banging! And working with Stuart Price on a studio album is something we have wanted to do for a very long time". Electric received a rapturous response when it was released in July:


"Brilliant."
USA TODAY

"A synth-pop record so polished and seamless, one with a maturity matched only by the constant quest for surprise."
Los Angeles Times

"Pulse-quickening, mind-tickling"
Rolling Stone

"Electric is their most immediate, jubilant record in at least a decade."
Pitchfork

"Electric is a triumph... classic Pet Shop Boys"
SPIN

"The most successful (and colorful) duo in the history of UK music"
Stereogum

TRAMPLED BY TURTLES CELEBRATE THEIR 10TH ANNIVERSARY
WITH THEIR FIRST LIVE CONCERT ALBUM + DVD SET
TO BE RELEASED NOVEMBER 12TH, 2013

ONE HOUR CONCERT SPECIAL BEGINS AIRING NOVEMBER 8TH ON PALLADIA

“These men from Duluth are not just here to make you dance, they've come for your soul.”- LA Times

“Trampled by Turtles mixes rhythmic banjos and guitars with lovelorn fiddles, creating a sound that seeps deeply into our pores and permeates our core until their riffs merge with our pulse.” - Washington Post

With six albums to their credit and a word-of-mouth reputation that draws legions of diehard fans to their must-see-to-believe live shows, Minnesota roots music hybrid, Trampled by Turtles release their first live concert recording Live At First Avenue.  The set was captured over 3 sold out nights celebrating their 10th anniversary at the legendary Minneapolis venue, First Avenue. This collection features songs from all six of Trampled’s albums, including hits "Wait So Long" and "Alone" as well as fan favorites “Codeine” and Trampled's version of the Pixies’ classic, “Where is My Mind?”.  Both the CD and the LP package include a full concert DVD.  Get a sneak peak at this package here.

Digital cable and satellite television network Palladia will air the concert multiple times starting the week before street date and continuing for one year.

Acclaimed band Trampled by Turtles continue to receive praise for their live show and last studio albumStars and Satellites. The band has performed on “Conan,” “The Prairie Home Companion,” “The Late Show with David Letterman,” and “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson.” TBT's recent touring schedule has included high profile slots at Bonnaroo, ACL, Lollapalooza, Bumbershoot, Telluride Bluegrass Festival, LouFest, XPoNential Festival culminating with a massive headline show at the Minnesota State Fair with 9K home state fans cheering them on.  Their latest tour dates are below.

Formed in Duluth, MN, in 2003, Trampled by Turtles is Dave Simonett (guitar, vocals), Tim Saxhaug (bass, vocals), Dave Carroll (banjo, vocals), Erik Berry (mandolin) and Ryan Young (fiddle, vocals). Within the contained music scene of Duluth, the members of the band did their own time in punk and rock bands, brandishing their electricity proudly before switching to acoustic instruments. While they never set out to be a “bluegrass” band, Trampled by Turtles employs many of the same traditional techniques of the genre, but their differences in influences, attitude and attack make for their unique sound.

Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings Return

Give the People What They Want Set for January 14, 2014 on Daptone Records

Watch The Animated Video for “Retreat!”

Band To Play Homecoming Show at the Beacon Theater in New York City on February 6, 2013 


Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings Are Back. . . with a new record, a new video and a monumental show!
This past spring, Daptone Records had just announced the August release of Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings’ Give the People What They Want when Sharon Jones was diagnosed with cancer. The scheduled release and supporting tours were immediately put on hold and all efforts were quickly shifted to her treatment and recovery. It brings great joy and relief to announce that after a successful operation, ongoing treatment, and the continued support of friends, family, and fans, Sharon Jones is back.

Give the People What They Want is scheduled to drop January 14, 2014, followed by Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings’ triumphant return to the stage on February 6th at the Beacon Theater in New York City, their first show in nearly a year.

For over a decade, the band has traveled the world, blowing minds with their explosive live performances and their raw, hand-crafted studio recordings. While other artists have ridden the crests and troughs of passing fads, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings have bypassed the hype-and-hit superhighway and taken a detour straight to the hearts and bodies of their listeners, transcending fleeting trends and demographics and delivering a visceral rhythm and soul sound to an ever expanding base of deeply loyal fans. Give the People What They Want is poised to become not only an iconic album from a prolific band, but a fixture in the cannon of Soul Music.

The album lifts off with “Retreat!” an up-tempo stomper with ominous, thundering arrangements, and marches directly into the pulsing Detroit-flavored soul of “Stranger To My Happiness” before easing back down into the mellow feel-good anthem “We Get Along.” Track after track, Give the People What They Want delivers every bit of unbridled soul and studio acumen that defines this bands’ universally loved sound.

“The entire Daptone Family is overjoyed and inspired to see Sharon’s recovery,” says the band’s bassist and bandleader Bosco Mann. “Without a doubt, this album is the greatest thing we’ve ever recorded and I’ve been anxious for the world to hear it. Everything will culminate in February at the Beacon. That moment when Sharon walks out to join us on stage again is going to be insane.”

RATHBORNE ANNOUNCES CMJ + NOVEMBER TOUR
'SOFT' IN STORES NEXT WEEK, OCTOBER 15
TOUR SUPPORTING ALBERT HAMMOND JR.

    Rathborne_SOFTImage     
   
Fresh off a three-week run of North America supporting Travis, New York City quartet, Rathborne, has announced a two-week run of dates supporting Albert Hammond Jr. in the Midwest and west coast, starting November 11. First though, Rathborne returns home to celebrate the release of SOFT in stores October 15 and perform during this year's CMJ Music Marathon, Oct. 17 at the Music Hall of Williamsburg (8 p.m.) and Pianos (11:30 p.m.) and 18 at Pianos (10 p.m.).

SOFT is a record that never stops moving, bounding from one jagged-edged song to the next, marrying the fast-and-loose ethos of No Age with the unhinged garage-pop of Ty Segall and the melodic ease of classic R.E.M. and Big Star.  Produced by Rathborne and Emery Dobyns (Antony & the Johnsons, Battles, Noah & the Whale), with mixing and co-production by Gus Oberg and Albert Hammond, Jr., the record nestles honey-sweet hooks inside tangles of guitar and Darren Will's percolating bass.  

Rathborne has already been featured as Vogue's "Artist of the Week" and featured on Rolling StoneBullettSpinNoisey and Diffuser.FM.

Tour Dates:
10/17 - Brooklyn, NY @ Music Hall of Williamsburg (CMJ/8pm) +
