Stars on Tour Spring 2013 / New Backlines Remix

Stars have announced their upcoming North American spring tour in support of their sixth full-length album, The North.  After a fantastic fall tour throughout the US and Canada and a series of European dates this December, Stars are anxiously anticipating their spring tour.

The band will kick off their tour with a few dates in Australia before heading to Asia for a series of much anticipated shows. From there, Stars will begin their North American tour starting in Burlington, VT at Higher Ground and make stops in Brooklyn, Toronto, Chicago, Vancouver and many others.

Stars have also shared a brand new remix of their hit single “Backlines.”  The remix was done by Eight and a Half which is comprised of members of Broken Social Scene and The Stills.  The remix offers a new, almost darker, dancier side to this pop gem.

Watch Hey Rosetta!’s New Video for “Carry Me Home” From Their Holiday EP

Taking a nontraditional route away from most holiday records, Hey Rosetta’s new Holiday EP, A Cup Of Kindness Yet, maintains serious songwriting, alternating between solemn and uplifting, a rather realistic envisioning of the holiday season minus the tedious repetition of classical Christmas carols. With an idea that bloomed while the band was touring and Australia, “Carry Me Home” weaves a story of homesickness and the desperation that lies behind getting home for the holidays, a “deep visceral thing that we can relate to whenever and wherever we are on the road,” according to front man Tim Baker. The first new music heard since Seeds, their exceptional third album that garnered the band a Polaris shortlisting, all the tracks on A Cup Of Kindness Yet have clear melodies and thoughtful stories and sentiments.

 

Trey Hitting the Road in January 2013

After playing four sold-out, year-end shows with Phish at New York City’s Madison Square Garden, Trey Anastasio will embark on a tour of intimate venues with Trey Anastasio Band (TAB), spotlighting material from his new solo album, Traveler. The run will kick off on January 18, 2013 with a show at Danforth Music Hall in Toronto, ON and include a night at the Wellmont Theatre in Montclair, NY (1/25).

Trey is also slated to perform at the Summer Camp Music Festival in Chillicothe, IL, which will take place May 24-26. The vocalist/guitarist/composer will be joined on tour by the current Trey Anastasio Band lineup, which includes Cyro Baptista, James Casey, Natalie Cressman, Jennifer Hartswick, Russ Lawton, Tony Markellis and Ray Paczkowski.

TWO GALLANTS ANNOUNCE 2013 WEST COAST TOUR DATES

Following their lengthy fall North American tour – which saw the band travel throughout most of the US and eastern Canada – Two Gallants have announced two weeks of headlining shows in the Northwest and California this January and early February. The duo, who are currently on tour in mainland Europe following a 12-date UK run, will launch the tour on January 16th at The Shakedown in Bellingham, WA and wrap up on February 2nd with a hometown show at The Fillmore in San Francisco, CA (with Akron/Family as support). This will be Two Gallants’ first headlining trip through these markets following the release of their fourth (and first in five years) album The Bloom and the Blight, released September 4th.. Tickets will go on sale for all dates, save San Francisco, this Friday, November 16th; San Francisco will be on sale Sunday, November 18th.

Two Gallants are also confirmed to support Deer Tick on a pair of New Year’s Eve shows, on December 30th at Fete in Providence, RI and on the 31st at The Sinclair in Cambridge, MA. They’ll head to Australia in February for two co-headlining shows with Deer Tick and a stop at the Perth Festival as well.
 

 
The Bloom and the Blight – which has been garnering strong coverage from press including Alternative Press, American Songwriter, Filter Good Music Guide, Ghettoblaster, The New York Daily News, NME, Relix, RollingStone.com, The SanFrancisco Chronicle, Uncut and Under The Radar, among others – is the work of a band that has matured and redefined itself, and the album is imbued with a palpable sense of personal catharsis. The songs, like single “My Love Won’t Wait” – watch Vice Cooler (Feistodon, Peaches)-directed, SPIN-premiered video here – have a dark side and a dynamic sonic heft, yet a sense of salvation and resolve courses throughout: an urgent, emotional poignancy stemming in part from singer Adam Stephens’ recovery from a serious van accident in 2010. Produced by John Congleton (The Walkmen, Explosions In The Sky, St. Vincent) at Berkeley’s legendary Fantasy Studios and in San Francisco’s Tiny Telephone studio, the album also moves away from Two Gallants’ more folk and blues-based past, representing the duo’s ferocious live show and their past steeped in punk and grunge.

Rayland Baxter to Tour with Grace Potter and The Noctournals

Singer-songwriter Rayland Baxter will join Grace Potter and the Nocturnals on tour this fall, including a date at Nashville’s historic Ryman Auditorium on October 13.  The tour will celebrate Rayland’s acclaimed debut full-length album, feathers & fishHooks, which is out now. (available at iTunes, Amazon and indie retailers nationwide). Of the record, Interview Magazine praises, “its 12 tracks…betray the studied, well-worn maturity of a songwriter who has done his fair share of living,” while the Nashville Scene asserts, “Play your kid Mozart—maybe he’ll grow up to be a math genius. Play your kid Steve Earle and Bob Dylan’s steel-guitar melodies—maybe he’ll grow up to be Rayland Baxter.”

The new album was recorded in Nashville and was produced by Rayland along with Skylar Wilson (Justin Townes Earle, Caitlin Rose) and Eric Masse (Madi Diaz, Kyle Ryan). Grammy Award-winning producer Jacquire King (Tom Waits, Modest Mouse, Kings of Leon) mixed the record and served as its executive producer. Additionally, the album features Rayland’s father, Bucky Baxter (Bob Dylan, Steve Earle, Ryan Adams), on guitar/steel guitar as well as background vocals from Madi Diaz, Mikky Ekko and The Bridges. Of the album, Rayland comments, “Making this record was effortless. The songs formed themselves; we started with no goals in mind other than making music that myself and everyone around was moved by. It’s an emotional record that puts into words a lot of what I, or anyone longing for change, could go through.”
