FRIENDS ANDREW BIRD AND ALAN HAMPTON


PROCEEDS TO BENEFIT MUSICARES RELIEF EFFORTS 

IN THE WAKE OF DEVASTATING SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA WILDFIRES


OH BROTHER TOUR RESUMES APRIL 9 IN WOODSTOCK, NY


(Read Robert Kinsler's review of "Oh Brother" published in October 2024 HERE)





Acclaimed California rock band Dawes have shared “Time Spent In Los Angeles (For Altadena),” a very special version of their classic track newly produced by Mike Viola with the help of friends Andrew Bird and Alan Hampton, available everywhere now on their own Dead Ringers via Secretly Canadian Distribution. Proceeds from the track will benefit MusiCares relief efforts in the wake of January’s devastating Southern California wildfires.

Dawes co-founders Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith are among the many Los Angeles area residents whose lives were shattered by the wildfires’ unprecedented destruction – Taylor lost his studio and most of the band’s musical gear and equipment while Griffin and their parents all lost their homes. Dawes immediately went to work supporting MusiCares efforts to assist fellow musicians affected by the fires by visiting ABC’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! to perform “Time Spent in Los Angeles,” originally found on their 2011 sophomore album, Nothing Is Wrong.


“We were asked to perform on Jimmy Kimmel within a week of both of our properties burning in Altadena,” says Taylor Goldsmith. “Griffin lost his house and I lost our studio. We decided to play a ballad version of ‘Time Spent in Los Angeles.’ The song means all sorts of different things to us now. After that live performance it became clear we would want a proper studio recording of the version for posterity (and to maybe even raise a little more money for MusiCares). So we hit up our fellow Angelenos Andrew Bird and Alan Hampton and recorded this live in one take at our old friend Mike Viola’s house studio in Echo Park. I feel like this is the version of this song that we’re gonna be playing for a long time to come.”

Dawes have spent much of their time since the fires supporting and raising awareness for MusiCares, including a surprise opening appearance at the 67th Annual GRAMMY® Awards that saw them leading an all-star lineup – including Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard, John Legend, Sheryl Crow, and St. Vincent – for an unforgettable performance of Randy Newman’s “I Love L.A.” Dawes’ own exclusive version – featuring lyrical changes to reflect the City of Angels’ inspiring resilience following the disaster – is available now, with proceeds benefitting The Recording Academy and MusiCares’ Los Angeles Fire Relief Effort To Support Music Professionals.

Dawes –– were also among the stars performing at February’s star-studded FireAid benefit concert at Los Angeles’ Kia Forum. After opening their set with “Time Spent in Los Angeles,” Dawes were joined onstage by Stephen Stills and Mike Campbell for a performance of Buffalo Springfield’s “For What It’s Worth.” The supergroup then welcomed Stills’ longtime friend and musical partner Graham Nash for an unforgettable rendition of Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young’s “Teach Your Children” that saw everyone in attendance at the arena singing along in unison.


Last year saw the acclaimed release of Dawes’ ninth studio album, Oh Brother, available everywhere now. Exclusive split color vinyl, as well as an array of deluxe Oh Brother bundles, are available via the Dawes online store. Hailed by No Depression as “a staggering soundscape where guitar-talking, folk-rock, bleary-eyed grooves, and a kind of misfit pop all blur into one succinct soundtrack for these unprecedented times,” the album steers Dawes decidedly forward, honoring 15 years of Taylor and Griffin’s musical relationship, as well as the next era and natural evolution of their beloved band.

Dawes’ busy schedule will also see additional summer headline dates along with a series of eagerly awaited shows supporting The Avett Brothers and top-billed appearances at an array of festivals including Goose’s Viva El Gonzo (set for May 8-10 in San José del Cabo, Mexico), Brandi Carlile’s Mothership Weekend in Miramar Beach, FL (May 11), and Louisville, KY’s Bourbon & Beyond (September 11-14).

Thames & Hudson to publish iconic Oasis book by photographer Jill Furmanovsky and Noel Gallagher

Exciting news today for fans of Oasis (and who isn't, right?). See the timely media release below and official cover for a book that will cast a renewed focus on one of rock's all-time great bands...Robert Kinsler


Thames & Hudson to publish iconic Oasis book by photographer Jill Furmanovsky and Noel Gallagher

Tristan de Lancey, Creative Director at Thames & Hudson, has bought World All Language rights to OASIS: Trying to find a way out of nowhere by Jill Furmanovsky and Noel Gallagher from Vicki McIvor at Take Three Management. Thames & Hudson has sold rights in three countries thus far: in France to Editions Seghers (Editions Robert Laffont); in Italy to Lizard Rizzoli (Gruppo Mondadori); and in Japan to Sekai Bunka Publishing Inc. The book will be published by Thames & Hudson in the UK, US, and Australia in hardcover this Fall 2025.
 
Organized chronologically, OASIS: Trying to find a way out of nowhere contains more than 500 photographs, contact sheets, and sequenced film strips of the band on stage, backstage, on the road, in the studio, and behind the scenes. This beautiful volume, edited by Noel Gallagher, will present classic highlights and unseen images from Jill Furmanovsky’s complete Oasis archive. Given unprecedented access to countless worldwide Oasis performances and recording sessions, she was able to intimately document the relationship between Noel and Liam Gallagher up to their split, creating a poignant visual diary that is more than the sum of its parts. In this book she extends the visual story to 2025*, capturing the band in rehearsal for the upcoming reunion tour.

Accompanying the images is illuminating commentary by Noel Gallagher, who relates the inside stories of the events pictured in many of the shoots, demonstrating an honest and touching relationship between band and photographer. An additional three essays by music journalists provide context to the band’s story and an introduction by Jill Furmanovsky celebrates the supreme significance of Oasis in her 50+ years photographing musicians.
 
Jill Furmanovsky has photographed legendary rock musicians for more than 50 years, including Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Blondie, The Clash, The Ramones, The Pretenders, Joy Division, Leonard Cohen, Amy Winehouse, and Oasis. In 2024 she received a Lifetime Achievement award from Amateur Photography magazine; the Legend of the year award from So.Co for Image of Music Awards; and the Abbey Road ICON award, at which award ceremony Noel described Jill as “one of my best friends.”
 
Noel Gallagher is the primary songwriter, lead guitarist, and co-lead vocalist of Oasis, the band that defined the era of Cool Britannia. In August 1994 Oasis’s first album, Definitely Maybe, entered the UK charts at number one and received widespread critical and commercial success, as did their next two albums, (What’s the Story) Morning Glory? (1995) and Be Here Now (1997). The band split in 2009 but are reforming for a worldwide tour in 2025.
 
Jill Furmanovsky commented: “From the first time I photographed Oasis in December 1994 until my last shoot with them in August 2009 when they split, I was permitted closeness and the gift of almost unlimited access. I was just the right age and had just the right amount of experience to shoot the merry band of musicians (and they were wonderfully entertaining) fronted by the extraordinarily talented Gallagher brothers.  I would say this is my best body of work as a photographer. It was made with love and an understanding of what a fan might like to see. Much of the material here has never been published before and I hope Oasis fans will enjoy that. I'd especially like to thank Noel for his contribution to and support for the book. It has been a joy to work with the design and editorial team at Thames & Hudson who worked tirelessly to give the work the gravitas it deserves.”
 
Noel Gallagher commented: “It’s been an honor to have been associated with Jill for 30 years.”
 
Tristan de Lancey, Creative Director at Thames & Hudson, commented: “Amidst all the excitement of the Oasis reunion, I was delighted to sign up Jill and Noel’s book. Jill’s body of work with Oasis is extraordinary and unsurpassed and includes swathes of candid behind-the-scenes material, much of which, incredibly, is being scanned for the first time. Her three-decade friendship with Noel, Liam, and other band members is known to many; what’s less known and utterly unique is her ability to capture the band in those in-between moments—off-guard and true. The energy, the humor, and—yes—the tensions ripple through each and every frame. Combine all of this with first-hand commentary from Noel, insightful anecdotes from Jill, and three documentary essays, all packaged beautifully in a statement format, I’m expecting readers of all generations to be blown away. It’s nothing short of a monograph on steroids—with a surprise ending—publishing worldwide on the eve of their autumn Wembley concerts.”

Kristen and Stephen Stills said, “We are once again feeling grateful that we can play a part in helping Autism Speaks to fulfill their mission of creating such meaningful progress for autistic people and their families. There are a multitude of existing challenges and now, here in Los Angeles, we face a new reality of added need for our autism community. The trajectory of getting back to a sense of normalcy is very complex. We know that our support of Autism Speaks will help to ensure that the path will be smoother and approached with sensitivity and care. All the amazing artists joining us to celebrate autistic people will give our audience a night to remember for many years to come and we can’t wait to be with them once again!”


“Kristen and Stephen Stills are once again using the power of music to amplify the voices of the autism community, and we’re grateful for their dedication to making this event a force for change,” said Keith Wargo, Autism Speaks President and Chief Executive Officer. “As Autism Speaks marks its 20th anniversary, we’re not just reflecting on how far we’ve come—we’re pushing forward, driven by the voices of autistic people, to tear down barriers and create a world where disability inclusion is a reality. Over the next two decades, we’re redefining what’s possible—fearlessly fighting for access to health and wellness services, employment, and community support so that every autistic person has the opportunities they deserve.”

About Autism:

Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, refers to a broad range of conditions characterized by challenges with social skills, repetitive behaviors, speech and nonverbal communication. We now know that there is not one autism but many subtypes, and each person with autism can have unique strengths and challenges. A combination of genetic and environmental factors influence the development of autism, and autism often is accompanied by medical issues such as GI disorders, seizures and sleep disturbances. Autism affects an estimated 1 in 36 children in the U.S.
