As 2014 album of the year front-runner Morning Phase (Capitol) logs its fourth week in the Top 20, two additional dates have been added to Beck’s hotly anticipated spring/summer tour. At press time, Beck’s recently announced dates in New York, Santa Barbara, Tucson, Montreal and Toronto have completely sold out.

Tickets for  the two new dates–an April 10 second night at Santa Barbara’s Arlington Theater and and additional New York City show June 30 at the Hammerstein Ballroom–go on sale to the public Friday, April 4 at 10 am local time. Pre-sales begin April 2 (see below for details).

In addition to the upcoming live dates, Beck will follow his stunning turns last month on Saturday Night Live and The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with two more appearances on the small screen this month: April 1 on The Ellen Degeneres Show and April 22 on Jimmy Kimmel Live. OnApril 27, Beck will make his return to the venerable Austin City Limits series, taping a performance to air at a later date TBD.

Aside from being the first chance to hear the songs of Morning Phase in the flesh, Beck’s upcoming dates are not be missed–a glance at the reviews of his most recent handful of dates from summer 2013 shows easily puts them among the most enthusiastic raves of his–or anyone’s–career:

“Electrifying… another example of a Beck show that was so good, so special, that if you missed it, you simply missed it. It probably won’t go down like that again.”–THE BOSTON GLOBE

“It seemed downright perverse that a show this good only received two performances – the band had played Boston a couple of nights earlier – but then again, Beck has made a specialty, and a great success, of defying expectations and playing by his own rules.”–THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER

“more like a 20 year retrospective on one of the most important artists of our generation rather than just a typical concert… As soon as the first few notes of ‘Devil’s Haircut’ hummed through the speakers, it was as if someone fired a gun in the air. Everyone’s attention was drawn to the stage and it pretty much stayed there for the next two hours.”–THE VILLAGE VOICE

“Defying music-business logic is one of the Californian’s areas or expertise, but it’s also the reason he commands such a devout following, even after more than two decades… and boy, has he covered a lot of ground up to now.”–THE NEW YORK POST

Citi is the official credit card of the Beck Tour. Citi cardmembers will have access to presale tickets through its Citi Private Pass program beginning Wednesday, April 2nd at 10AM local time through Thursday, April 3 at 10PM local.  Visit www.citiprivatepass.com for details.

CHRISSIE HYNDE: STOCKHOLM

JUNE 10 U.S. RELEASE ON CAROLINE

APRIL 1 PRE-ORDERS TO INSTANTLY RECEIVE FIRST SINGLE “DARK SUNGLASSES” 

Album Teaser Live at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6muAJ6iSz0Q

Stockholm Album Art
Stockholm Album Art

25 million records sold and 30-plus years into her tenure as Pretenders founder and leader, Chrissie Hynde will release Stockholm, the first ever album under her own name, June 10 on Caroline Records in the U.S..

“It’s the first album with my name on it,” Chrissie says. “But it’s not a solo album. In fact, making this album was more of a collaboration than any Pretenders album ever was.”

Recorded at Ingrid Studios in Stockholm with co-writer/guitarist Bjorn Yttling of Peter, Bjorn and John at the helm, the album features contributions from Neil Young, John McEnroe and Joakim Ahlund of the Caesars. 11 tracks of fresh and irreverent rock n roll in Chrissie’s unmistakable voice and style, Stockholm will be heralded by first single “Dark Sunglasses,” which will go out instantly to all pre-orders on April 1. “Dark Sunglasses” is a perfect embodiment of the attitude and aim Chrissie employed in the creation of Stockholm: “I wanted to make a power pop album you could dance to – Abba meets John Lennon.”

“Dark Sunglasses” can be streamed HERE and HERE.

Stockholm may not be a solo album but it certainly has the vibe of an energized debut by a vital artist, one who gives voice to the disaffected while celebrating the undeniable power of a classic love song, a night on the dance floor, honest authentic rock n roll and other things that make life worth living. “So much of rock n roll has become what I would call Glory Rock, with family values. It’s the irreverence in rock that was always the turn-on. I disagree with people who say you shouldn’t take yourself too seriously. I think life is serious, and you should take it seriously, but in rock n roll either have a fucking laugh or fuck off.”

A complete track listing for Stockholm is below. For further information, see the links below or contact Steve Martin or Michele Adler at 212 343-0740 or michele@nastylittleman.com.

Track Listing:

1. You Or No One
2. Dark Sunglasses
3. Like In The Movies
4. Down The Wrong Way
5. You’re The One
6. A Plan Too Far
7. In A Miracle
8. House Of Cards

ARCADE FIRE ADD tUnE-yArDs & LOST BAYOU RAMBLERS TO DATES ON NEXT LEG OF REFLEKTOR TOUR

“It was the band’s first Detroit show in 10 years… and it more than made up for lost time. It was a thorough, fully-realized outing that will be remembered as one of the best concerts of the year.” — DETROIT DAILY NEWS

“You won’t find too many basement parties with a high-tech array of lights and video, an overhead truss paneled with mirrors, a hydraulic satellite stage or, for that matter, the space to accommodate the dozen musicians who beefed up Monday’s proceedings.” — DETROIT FREE PRESS

“The showdown was a reflection of something spontaneous, righteous. and awe-inspiring on every level of imagination, and Arcade Fire delivered the goods, and they did it with style.” — GET OUT LOUISVILLE

“Saturday’s nearly two-hour set proved Arcade Fire might be the most arena-ready band to come out of the hip punk-weaned underground since U2.” — MINNEAPOLIS STAR TRIBUNE

 “Arcade Fire is a sonic wonder and does this whole arena thing with a sly artistic sensibility that you don’t get from any old band.” — PITTSBURGH POST GAZETTE

In the midst of the wildly successful and warmly received Reflektor Tour, Arcade Fire are excited to announce that Lost Bayou Ramblers and tUnE-yArDs will be added to dates on the tour’s run though the southern U.S. (see exact dates below).

Barely a week and a half into their colossal globe-spanning Reflektor Tour, Arcade Fire are proving these shows are unlike anything they–or any other artist– has ever staged in an arena setting. Audiences attending the Louisville opener, the massive Minneapolis, Detroit, and Pittsburgh shows, and the completely sold out Toronto blowout have experienced dazzling production featuring multiple stages and captivating visual effects, pre- and post-show dance parties, a sprawling setlist spanning the entire AF catalog, and of course, appearances from the familiar Reflektor bobbleheads.

No two Reflektor Tour shows are alike: Early reports have seen the band shatter the barrier between audience and performer, from red carpet arrivals to joining the audience in pre-show dance competitions. Additionally, Arcade Fire has been paying homage to each city’s musical heritage with exceptional covers of Prince in Minneapolis, Stevie Wonder in Detroit, Constantines in Toronto, and more.

Transforming the biggest arenas in the U.S. and Canada into unique and locally flavored carnivals, Arcade Fire will continue to provide Reflektor Tour revelers with an evening like no other. Showing up early and staying late are recommended. For a full list of remaining dates, support, etc., see below.

Beck’s latest album and across the board contender for 2014 album of the year Morning Phase (Capitol) is spending its second week in the top 10 of the U.S. album chart, having sold almost 121,000 copies since its February 25 release.

“Electrifying… another example of a Beck show that was so good, so special, that if you missed it, you simply missed it. It probably won’t go down like that again.”-THE BOSTON GLOBE

BECK’S MORNING PHASE DEBUTS AT #3

FIRST WEEK SALES OF NEARLY 90,000

MARCH 12 ON THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JIMMY FALLON

APRIL 1 ON THE ELLEN DEGENERES SHOW

Beck1_PeterHapak_HI© Peter Hapak

“a triumphant return… a rare pleasure”—ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY

“The record’s beauty approaches slowly, floats, surrounds and shuts off external awareness in the brain stem.”—THE NEW YORK TIMES

“gracefully, gradually unfolds like the sweetest of sunrises”—PEOPLE

“an instant folk-rock classic… Morning Phase’s struggle toward the light feels as personal as it does universal.”—ROLLING STONE

“a companion to 2002’s Sea Change… Morning Phase conjures the cosmic folk and poetic beauty of that breakup breakthrough with even better results… The mercurial artist has drifted through a variety of intriguing phases, but none as hypnotic or revealing as Morning Phase.”—USA TODAY

Beck’s Morning Phase (Capitol) has entered the US albums chart at #3, selling over 87,000 copies in the week since its February 25 release.

Morning Phase‘s first week tally bests the 84,314 opening week of Beck’s previous album, Modern Guilt, despite the market being down over 70% since that record’s 2008 release.

Morning Phase also debuted #2 in Canada, #4 in the UK, #5 in Australia, Switzerland and The Netherlands, and #8 in New Zealand–all representing Beck’s highest chart positions ever in each country, with the exception of Canada where Morning Phase ties the #2 peak position of 2005’s Guero.

Beck will follow up last week’s triumphant return to Saturday Night Live where he debuted “Blue Moon” and “Wave” on national television with a March 12 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and an April 1 performance on The Ellen Degeneres Show.

LOS ANGELES DATE ANNOUNCED ALONG WITH SPECIAL AFTER PARTY 

TONIGHT SHOW PERFORMANCE CONFIRMED FOR MARCH 7

BB_B612Poster

Broken Bells are proud to announce an exciting partnership with the B612 Foundation beginning with the band’s April West Coast tour. During these dates, $1 from every ticket sold will be donated to the B612 Foundation to help fund their Sentinel Mission, one of the most important space missions for humanity-one that seeks to protect Earth while preparing for future exploration. More information pertaining to the B612 Foundation can be found below.

Included in this upcoming April tour is a recently announced show at the Fonda Theatre in Los Angeles on April 15th between the band’s two Coachella appearances. Tickets for this show are available here beginning Friday, March 7th at 10am PST.

Following the show, Broken Bells and the B612 Foundation will be hosting an after party on the Fonda Theatre rooftop. Guests will include Brian Burton and James Mercer of Broken Bells as well as Dr. Marc Buie, the mission specialist on the Sentinel project, and Rusty Schweickart, Apollo 9 astronaut and co-founder of the B612 Foundation, as well as other astronomers and dignitaries. Dr. Buie and Rusty will give a special presentation on the Sentinel project and provide new insights on the threats posed by asteroids. Each guest will be treated to a space-themed drink while they enjoy music by a special guest DJ. Attendees will also have the chance to gaze into the night sky with telescopes provided and aimed by astronomers from JPL. Tickets for the after party are extremely limited and are available here.

Prior to heading out West, Burton and Mercer will bring the Broken Bells magic to The Tonight Show on March 7th where they will perform a song from their acclaimed new album After the DiscoThe Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon airs Friday, March 7th at 11:35pm/10:35pm CST.

About the B612 Foundation

The mission of the B612 Foundation is to create the first comprehensive and dynamic map of the inner solar system to provide early warning of dangerous asteroid impacts as well as prepare the path for future exploration. To be launched in 2018, Sentinel will be the world’s first and largest privately funded deep space mission. To date, all telescopes combined have identified only 10% of the more than one million asteroids which we need to know about to protect us; Sentinel will find the other 99%. Ball Aerospace is designing Sentinel with the same expert team that built the Spitzer and Kepler Space Telescopes.

TAYLOR HAWKINS, WILEY HODGDEN & MICK MURPHY ARE THE BIRDS OF SATAN

http://youtu.be/yZR2w157jIg 

DEBUT ALBUM OUT APRIL 15 ON SHANABELLE RECORDS

PRE-ORDER LIVE NOW AT http://smarturl.it/birdsofsatan FEATURING INSTANT DOWNLOAD OF “THANKS FOR THE LINE”

Taylor Hawkins, Wiley Hodgden and Mick Murphy a/k/a The Birds Of Satan will release their self-titled debut album April 15 on Shanabelle Records. Recorded in less than a week’s worth of whirlwind sessions and preceded by a recently unveiled promo trailer http://youtu.be/yZR2w157jIg, the record is now available for pre-order at http://smarturl.it/birdsofsatan, with all pre-orders instantly receiving the track “Thanks For The Line.”

For anyone asking who/what/why are The Birds Of The Satan… Well, there may or may not be a clue in the lyrics of the instant grat track “Thanks For The Line,” but as to the musical nature of this beast: That question is answered in short order by the album’s opening manifesto, the near-10-minute “The Ballad of the Birds of Satan,” which progresses from a typically frenetic Hawkins drum salvo into an outright heavy-prog epic concluding with an undeniable boogie groove. The previously mentioned “Thanks For The Line” and the straight up hard rocker “Pieces Of The Puzzle” showcase the Birds’ unabashed (some might say shameless) love of Rock & Roll flash and grandeur, with Hawkins in fine vocal and drumming form (also contributing piano) aided and abetted by a magnetic chemistry with Hodgden’s bass and Murphy’s guitar. Elsewhere, sublime ballads “Raspberries” and the somber finale “Too Far Gone To See” showcase additional emotional dimensions of The Birds Of Satan sound-and if that gets too heavy, the listener can always skip back to “Wait Til Tomorrow” for the first documented recorded Van Halen style guitar solo of this decade.

The Birds Of Satan are Taylor Hawkins (vocals, drums, piano, guitar, keyboards), Wiley Hodgden (bass, background vocals), and Mick Murphy (guitar). Guest musicians on the eponymous album include Dave Grohl (guitar), Pat Smear (guitar), Drew Hester (percussion), and Rami Jaffee (keyboards), among others. The Birds Of Satan was produced and engineered by John Lousteau and mixed by Drew Hester. The complete track listing is as follows:

The Ballad of the Birds of Satan
Thanks for the Line
Pieces Of The Puzzle
Raspberries
Nothing at All
Wait Til Tomorrow
