Driving on Friday morning April 17th, Twin Shadow’s tour bus hit a tractor-trailer on Interstate 70 in Aurora, Colorado. The circumstances surrounding the accident are being investigated.
There were 12 people on the tour bus consisting of band and crew. Everyone was taken to two local hospitals. At this time both driver John Crawford and Twin Shadow drummer Andy Bauer remain hospitalized, in serious condition. George Lewis Jr. AKA Twin Shadow will be undergoing reconstructive hand surgery this week.
While everyone involved in the accident recovers, Twin Shadow are postponing tour dates scheduled for April 21- May 22nd.
The band and crew send a heartfelt thanks to everyone in Colorado and beyond who have helped through this difficult time.
This show has been postponed. All tickets remain valid and a future date will be announced soon.
Unfortunately due to unforeseen circumstance Pale have had to cancel their show at The Enterprise.
Please contact your ticket agent for a full refund.
Due to overwhelming demand we are thrilled to add a second show with the seminal Thurston Moore at Oslo in Hackney on Saturday 16 May.
We are thrilled to announce a show with Hot Chip at the Oval Space on Thursday 14 May.
After sharing a cryptic video last week, Hot Chip have formally announced the follow-up to 2012’s In Our Heads and 2013’s Dark and Stormy EP. It’s titled Why Make Sense?, and will be out May 18 via Domino. The new record was co-produced by the band and Mark Ralph, who also sat in on the In Our Heads sessions. The group have also shared a video for “Huarache Lights”, a track which will appear on Why Make Sense?; it’s a one-take visual shot by Andy Knowles and based upon a light installation by artist Robert Bell. You can watch it here.
THIS SHOW IS NOW SOLD OUT
Eat Your Own Ears and Goldenvoice are excited to announce a new live show for HONNE. After an incredible, sold-out show at Electrowerkz the band return to play at The Laundry this May 13th.
We are thrilled to announce a new show with the brilliant Outfit at the Lexington on 13th May.
We are thrilled to announce a new show with Stealing Sheep at XOYO on 7th May
Stealing Sheep will be performing at the XOYO following their brilliant sold out show at Chat’s Palace in February and following the release of ‘Not Real’, is the much-anticipated second album by Stealing Sheep released on 13th April.
‘Not Real’ was written, recorded and produced by band members Becky Hawley, Emily Lansley and Lucy Mercer at their studio in Liverpool. The unifying theme of the new album is the interplay of fact and fiction; the edge of dreams and limits of reality. These visions are grounded by bright melodies and insistent beats and unified by vocal harmonies; sometimes metronomic and chant-like, sometimes choral and pop. On ‘Not Real’ they’ve drawn inspiration from 50’s exotica, electronic music and 80’s pop and been influenced by the likes of Grace Jones, Maya Deren, Eden Ahbez, Delia Derbyshire, Moondog and John Carpenter.
Plus support from Gwenno and Landshapes
We are very excited to announce a new show with Astronomyy at Electrowerkz on 5th May.
We are thrilled to announce a new show with Only Real at the 100 Club on Thursday 30 April.
Coming after the release of the the much-anticipated debut LP from Only Real, ‘The Jerk At the End of the Line’, on 30th March.
Recorded over a year and across two continents (in Atlanta with Ben Allen, and Streatham with Dan Carey), ‘Jerk’ finally unveils the gorgeously off-kilter, sun-kissed universe of 22-year old South Londoner Niall Galvin in all its playfully vivid and idiosyncratic glory. Occupying a spaced out, psychedelic dimension of light and dark, ‘Jerk’ is the work of a singular talent with an unlimited and absurd vocabulary.
Following a rapturously received US tour with Charli XCX and two irresistibly infectious singles in ‘High’ and ‘Fever Boy’, FEMME returns with her biggest release to date ‘SOS’ – a flaming beacon of finger-snapping energy and audacious attitude set to light up the pop landscape – on May 4.
We are very excited to announce a show with LA Priest at Electrowerkz on 28th April.
LA PRIEST is a project from reclusive electronic musician Sam Dust. Having previously used the moniker for a 12″ release on Erol Alkan’s Phantasy label in 2007, ‘Oino’, Dust’s new single, is the first material to surface from the artist since the hiatus of Late Of The Pier, his previous band, in 2009.
Sam spent much of his time after 2010 in Greenland, studying the effects of the Ivittuut region’s electro-magnetic phenomena on recorded sound, and producing more than five secret uncredited projects – some of which have already trickled out into the world to public acclaim.
Evoking the disruptive pop spirit of musicians like David Byrne, Prince, Arthur Russell or Aphex Twin, Dust’s revived LA PRIEST project once again sets him apart as a true outlying original. ‘Oino’ marks the beginning of this long over-due re-emergence and is just a glimpse of the gloriously alluring hole in the fabric of the universe he’s torn for himself.
THIS SHOW IS NOW SOLD OUT
Very pleased to announce a free show with Ethiopian electronic music producer and performer Mikael Seifu at Birthdays on April 23rd.
SOLD OUT – Limited tickets on the door
Seifu fuses both the secular Ethiopian music of nomadic folk musicians, known as Azmaris, and the sonics of Tobia with garage & his own dream brew, which he calls “Ethiopian electronic.”
Born and raised in Addis Ababa, Seifu attended the French school Lycee Guebre-Mariam as a child, and went on to study music production & the music industry at Ramapo College of New Jersey, a small school about 45 minutes outside of Manhattan. Here, Seifu studied under avant-garde composer, trumpeter and inventor of the “Mutantrumpet,” Ben Neill. “He opened me up to another way of thinking about music,” says Seifu.
