BAND OF HORSES ADD MORE DATES TO U.S. SPRING TOUR

“(Band of Horses) conjure the embroidered-blue-jean countryrock of theEagles and spike it with punk noise and a 21st-century bloodshot optimism.”–ROLLING STONE Best of 2012

Band of Horses are gearing up for a busy spring season as they continue touring in support of their widely acclaimed fourth album, Mirage Rock.

In addition to their recently announced sets at Coachella and New Orleans’ annual Jazz Fest, the band has added headlining dates including a stop at Nashville’s legendary Ryman Auditorium, the Fox Theater in Oakland, and winding down with two nights at the Fillmore in Charlotte, NC.

Mirage Rock was named #19 in Rolling Stone’s Best of 2012 list, in a rave that hailed the band’s unique ability to  “conjure the embroidered-blue-jean countryrock of the Eagles and spike it with punk noise and a 21st-century bloodshot optimism.”

Band of Horses’ not-to-be-missed live show will feature support from openers Jake Bugg, Futurebirds, Roadkill Ghost Choir and Josh Roberts & The Hinges on select dates throughout this tour.

THIRD MAN RECORDS AND BELCOURT THEATRE TEAM UP TO PRESENT NEW FILM SERIES

Two of Nashville’s Most Beloved Institutions Join Forces to Offer Cutting-Edge Mix of New and Repertory Cinema

As the perpetually evolving landscape of media production and distribution continues to offer new opportunities for creator and consumer alike, certain aspects of how we experience and appreciate art tend to fall by the wayside. Among the most glaring examples is the notion of cinema as a communal phenomenon – of the theater as a public meeting space to indulge in acts of group-fantasy. As the market for new productions – large and small – becomes increasingly oriented to an era of digital distribution and on-demand home viewing, we lose the richness of discourse associated with sharing an emotional experience with strangers in a darkened room. The collective gasp at a third-act twist; embracing your date in a moment of fright; the heated post-film debate in the theater lobby – these are the sort of exchanges that risk endangered-status as the archetypical cinematic venue moves from the screening room to the living room.

It is with this in mind that Third Man Records has partnered with the Southeast’s flagship arthouse cinema, The Belcourt Theatre, to announce The Light And Sound Machine, a monthly film series to take place on the third Thursday of each month at Third Man’s performance space in downtown Nashville. Screenings are curated and hosted by filmmaker and critic James Cathcart, whose goal is to provide a venue for marginalized cinema, past and present, unlike any other in our city. Focusing on micro-budget productions by emerging directors, groundbreaking experimental film from all eras, and rarely screened repertory classics, each program promises a trove of curiosities for the adventurous film-goer. Presented digitally and on 16mm, the initial season’s eclectic offerings range from Dan Sallitt’s controversial yet tender 2012 feature THE UNSPEAKABLE ACT, to Kidlat Tahimik’s transcultural meditation PERFUMED NIGHTMARE (1977.)

The Light And Sound Machine’s inaugural exhibition will take place February 21st at 7pm, and will feature the bleak anti-comedy BAD FEVER (Dustin Guy Defa, 2012), preceded by the Safdie Bros.’ THE BLACK BALLOON (2012), an acerbic re-imagining of Albert Lamorisse’s classic LE BALLON ROUGE. Admission is $10. Both the director, Dustin Guy Defa, and lead actor, Kentucker Audley, of Bad Fever will be in attendance.

Though programming space is very limited, feature and short film submissions are welcome. Contact: cathcart@thirdmanrecords.com for additional information.

Tickets available for Belcourt members at a discount for $8 via the Belcourt website (www.belcourt.org), non members please purchase via Third Man (http://thirdmanstore.com/tmr-live/tickets/bad-fever-le-ballon-rouge).

BAD FEVER
A nod to the character based inquiries into the American condition that were the hallmark of 1970’s filmmaking, Dustin Guy Defa’s BAD FEVER introduces Eddie (Kentucker Audley), a psychologically fractured loner with delusions of a future in standup comedy. All but anonymous in his daily existence, he disappears into himself as  seamlessly as he does into the film’s rust-laden vistas of middle-America. His monotonous trajectory aches for intervention, which comes in the form of Irene (Eleonore Hendricks), a wayward drifter with a camcorder who subsides by sharing kinky vignettes of herself with an unseen benefactor. As their aimless lives intertwine, they inadvertently become fixtures to each other’s menageries of desperation.

THE BLACK BALLOON
An acerbic re-imagining of Albert Lamorisse’s classic children’s film LE BALLON ROUGE, Josh and Benny Safdie’s THE BLACK BALLOON resets Lamorisse’s traversing non-narrative to modern day New York, where a dislocated (or escaped?), solitary black balloon wanders the city – temporarily interrupting the lives of the everyday city dwellers it meets along the way, including an as-himself appearance by author and raconteur Larry “Ratso” Sloman. Tempered by the music of progressive rock mainstays Gong, THE BLACK BALLOON is both an ode to city life and the interconnected nature of contemporary existence.

BOSNIAN RAINBOWS: Teri Gender Bender, Nicci Kasper, Deantoni Parks & Omar Rodriguez-Lopez

FIRST EAST COAST DATES UNDERWAY NOW

DEBUT ALBUM OUT THIS SPRING ON SARGENT HOUSE / RLP

“infectious”–NPR

In the wake of NME debuting the track “Torn Maps” and NPR’s alt.latino hailing it as “infectious” in a January 31 piece titled “Strange Trip: 5 Songs That Transport You,” Bosnian Rainbows further unveils itself to the world with its first series of east coast dates.

Having been on the road since August, touring extensively in Europe, Russia, Australia, New Zealand, Japan and on the west coast and making a US festival debut at last September’s Fun Fun Fun Fest, Bosnian Rainbows now embark on a headlining run beginning February 15 in Atlanta.

The band is comprised of Teri Gender Bender (vocals), Nicci Kasper (keys, bass synth), Deantoni Parks (drums, keys) and Omar Rodriguez-Lopez (guitar, keys, backing vocals).

“It was all recorded live, analog to 2″ tape” says  Rodriguez-Lopez of Bosnian Rainbows, ”No playback. No laptops. Just four musicians creating the sound being heard. Minimal and elemental. …Funny how that works, experimenting with everything under the sun just to end up stripping everything down.”

“Torn Maps” will appear on Bosnian Rainbows’ self titled debut album out later this year on Sargent House / RLP. Listen to “Torn Maps” at:https://soundcloud.com/sargent-house/bosnian-rainbows-torn-maps

SOUND CITY THE FILM SHOOTS TO #1 ON iTunes DOCUMENTARY CHARTS WITHIN HOURS OF WORLDWIDE RELEASE

“Straight out of a roof-raising debut at Sundance 2013 comes Dave Grohl’s exhilarating documentary about what makes life worth living… Grohl has made an intimate epic about music. But the film’s genius is the way it applies the lessons of SOUND CITY to any job.. In his directing debut, Grohl shows the instincts of a real filmmaker. SOUND CITY hits you like a shot in the heart.”–Peter Travers, ROLLING STONE

“High-spirited, emotional and funny,  SOUND CITY is, of all things, a mash note to a machine… one that helped change the face of rock ‘n’ roll.”–Kenneth Turan, THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

“a celebration of just how unbelievably awesome it is to make rock music for a living”–NPR

“terrifically entertaining… The Nirvana and Foo Fighters star brings elements that can’t be faked–passion and heart–to this account of what it feels like to make real handcrafted rock music… a sincere tribute but also and infectiously honest one”–THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“SOUND CITY… will be candy to several generations’ worth of rock fans… It’s not an antidigital argument so much as an anti-blandness argument”–THE NEW YORK TIMES

“(FOUR STARS) this geeked-out documentary beats with more heart than could be imagined”–TIME OUT NEW YORK

“(FOUR STARS) SOUND CITY has something for everyone. Whether you’re a music gearhead, a fan of the bands and albums recorded at Sound City, someone who appreciates the creative process behind writing and recording songs or even just someone who digs well-made documentaries, the film has it all. We know Dave Grohl is a great drummer and an incredible frontman; now we know he’s a great documentary filmmaker too.”–FILM THREAT

“Talk about ambition… this may be the most positive music documentary you’ll ever see… Grohl’s aim is to explore the aura of a place, but what he winds up proving is that people make the magic”–THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS

“A must-see film for anyone who cares about recording techniques… ultimately SOUND CITY celebrates the human element in recording…”–BILLBOARD

Dave Grohl’s SOUND CITY PLAYERS’ February 13 extravaganza at New York’s Hammerstein Ballroom has sold out.
