QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE: BRIDGE SCHOOL CONCERT DEBUT CONFIRMED

THE KILLS ADDED TO BARCLAYS CENTER BILL

Photo: Chapman Baehler

Recently and undeniably hailed in ROLLING STONE as one of The 50 Greatest Live Acts Right Now, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE will make its historic first Bridge School Concert appearance this year. QOTSA will appear in the all star bill topped by Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young at the 27th Annual Bridge School Benefit Concerts on Saturday, October 26th and Sunday, October 27th at Shoreline Amphitheatre in Mountain View, CA.

Tickets for the Bridge School concerts go on sale Friday, September 13th at 10am at Livenation.com, the Shoreline Amphitheatre box office, all Ticketmaster outlets, or by calling (800) 745-3000.

Joshua Homme and crew’s Bridge School debut is the latest milestone in a 2013 rife with firsts: the still fresh out of the oven …Like Clockwork (Matador) provided QOTSA a first-ever U.S. #1 album, while the band’s world tour has seen its first headline appearances at legendary venues from New York’s Barclays Center to Colorado’s Red Rocks Amphitheater.

QOTSA’s Bridge School set will unveil new dimensions of the …Like Clockwork instant classics that have been garnering the most over the top raves of Homme and crew’s career, presumably alongside exclusive-to-the-evening arrangements of gems spanning the QUEENS’ 15-year odyssey. As reports from the world at large continue to verify, Homme and cohorts Troy Van Leeuwen, Dean Fertita, Michael Shuman and Jon Theodore are delivering the world’s premiere live rock show nightly on their continually expanding world tour in support of …Like Clockwork. These QUEENS will be the belles of the Bridge School ball and their coming out is guaranteed to be nothing short of momentous.

Meanwhile on the opposite coast: The Kills have been confirmed as special guests for QOTSA’s December 14 extravaganza at Brooklyn, New York’s Barclays Center. Tickets to the the QOTSA/Kills holiday gala are now on sale at http://bit.ly/qotsaBK.

JACK WHITE APPEARS AS SPECIAL GUEST AT 20TH ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATION OF MEXICO CITY’S FERMATTA MUSIC ACADEMY

IS GRANTED FIRST HONORARY DEAN TITLE IN SCHOOL’S HISTORY, AS WELL AS LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD

Jack White made a special trip recently to Mexico City to appear at the 20th anniversary celebration of the Fermatta Music Academy in Mexico City on August 22, 2013.

None of the 150+ students or the local media in attendance were aware that Jack would be appearing at the ceremony until, after a short speech by Fermatta National Council President Professor Georgia Carrera, he was introduced at the event by the internationally acclaimed singer/songwriter Elan.

Jack addressed the Fermatta Master Class with a speech that touched on topics including his earliest days as a musician, the support and encouragement of his parents,  the various people with whom he created music in his formative years in his hometown of Detroit, his progression from the drums to the guitar and other instruments and the factors that shaped his writing and performance skills along the way. Jack’s presentation also extolled the importance of spontaneity,  spiritual connection to musical instruments, and knowledge and skills such as harmony, reading or playing techniques in all aspects of making music–especially in finding one’s unique musical voice or mode of expression.

“The sense of being a musician”, White said at one point, “is making art, and I do not care whether it is solo or as part of a collective project. At all times I seek to express myself, and different circumstances of my life could also become multiple creative and stylistic channels… I seek to communicate my experience through the specific art I chose as a way of expression.”

The Academy also awarded Jack White with a Lifetime Achievement Award and the title of Honorary Dean, the first recognition of its kind granted by Fermatta in its 20 year history, at Fermatta Fest.

The Fermatta Music Academy is dedicated to providing the highest quality in professional music education in Latin America. As one of the leading music schools  in Latin America, Fermatta is the only music school in Mexico offering eight Bachelor degrees, six postgraduate Master degrees and two Doctorate degrees in contemporary music that is recognized by the Mexican Government’s Secretariat of Public Education (SEP). The Fermatta Master Class Series is a compilation of life lessons molded into a practical guide to the creation and business of music. The program is offered at Fermatta’s music schools in Guadalajara and Mexico City.

U.S. Premiere of Massive Attack V Adam Curtis, a Major Film and Music Experience, Begins September 28 at Park Avenue Armory

Designed and Staged by Robert Del Naja and United Visual Artists in collaboration with Es Devlin

Co-commissioned by Park Avenue Armory, Manchester International Festival, and Ruhrtriennale International Festival of the Arts

September 28 Performance is Sold Out: Tickets Currently Available to Remaining Performances

New York, NY – August 29, 2013 – The U.S. premiere of Massive Attack V Adam Curtis will open at Park Avenue Armory September 28. The epic work, created by film maker Adam Curtis and Robert Del Naja, will run through October 4 and is a co-commission of Park Avenue Armory, Manchester International Festival, and Ruhrtriennale International Festival of the Arts.

Robert Del Naja from the legendary English band Massive Attack and the radical film maker Adam Curtis have worked together to create an epic experience unlike any other. Music and film are woven together with personal stories and the grand sweep of history to conjure up a rich and multilayered experience. Intense volume and giant multiple screens completely envelop the audience in a mesmerizing and overwhelming sensory extravaganza that also carries a powerful political argument.

The overall narrative of the show tells the history of the last 50 years in a totally original way. It describes the transition from a world inspired by an optimistic vision of the future to today’s fearful and risk averse, managed society.

In a vivid and emotional way the narrative shows how we have tried to build a bubble to protect us from all possible future dangers and keep us safe from harm. But it will also show how, in order to do this, we have turned back to the past, constantly mining its data, looking for patterns, to create a predictable and unthreatening future.

A future without accidents of chance and unforeseen consequences.

But this itself has had the unforeseen consequence of trapping us in a constant feedback loop of the past, where nothing genuinely new can ever be imagined. The dead sing on forever, the recorded images are replayed over and over again. And we are always being offered more of what we had yesterday – if you liked that then you will love this.

The very experience of the show leads the audience to see that we have created for ourselves a world that is haunted by the past – trapped in a sarcophagus of giant screens which continually replay our own past desires to us. A sarcophagus that keeps us safe – but prevents us from moving forward and changing the world for the better.

And at the heart of the grand narrative are a number of extraordinary individual stories – of those who found they could not live without the dream of a better future. In a world without hope.

Massive Attack V Adam Curtis is the creation of documentary filmmaker Adam Curtis and Massive Attack’s Robert Del Naja, with the innovative art and design firm United Visual Artists and radical set designer Es Devlin. Joining Massive Attack for the live performance accompanying the film are singers Liz Fraser and Horace Andy. The music will include covers of popular music from the last three decades—from early Streisand to Siberian punk.

More information on Park Avenue Armory’s 2013 season is found at www.armoryonpark.org.


What the Critics Are Saying about Massive Attack V Adam Curtis:

“It’s one thing to watch the revelation of terrifying visions of global power structures on a TV in the corner of your living room. It’s another to have them projected all around you in a cavernous warehouse at a gig in which it is not always clear if pop music is part of the problem or part of the solution.” – The Guardian

“It is as if he is literally shaking us from our complacency. We all know the world is screwed up: now feel it in your stomachs.” – Financial Times

“Compelling…Curtis is most brilliant as a kind of 19th century novelist, dazzling and seducing us by weaving together the coincidences and collisions in history.” – Telegraph

About Massive Attack

Massive Attack was formed in Bristol, UK in 1988 by Robert “3D” Del Naja and Grant “Daddy G” Marshall. Their classic 1991 debut Blue Lines established them as progenitors of a new musical genre: an unprecedented mixture of breakbeats, sampling and live instrumentation with vocal styles ranging from soulful female vocals to gritty rapping. Some of their most noted songs have utilized atmospheric dynamics conveyed by prominent looped/shifting bass lines, dramatic guitar crescendos and lavish orchestral arrangements, underpinned by high and exacting production techniques. Blue Lines single “Unfinished Sympathy” is a prime example, one that was eventually voted the 10th greatest song of all time in a Guardian poll. Massive Attack’s discography also includes 1994’s sophomore effort Protection, which made the top 10 of Rolling Stone’s “Coolest Albums of All Time,” 1998’s Mezzanine, containing “Teardrop” (known to millions as the theme music to the hit TV series House), and 2003’s 100th Window, both of which charted in the UK at number one, and most recently 2010’s acclaimed Heligoland. These five studio albums have sold over 11 million copies worldwide. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Massive_Attack

About Adam Curtis

Adam Curtis is a documentary film maker and journalist who works for the BBC. He has made many series – including The Century of the Self, Pandora’s Box, The Mayfair Set, and The Power of Nightmares. He has also collaborated with Punchdrunk on a show for the Manchester International Festival – It Felt Like a Kiss. His films have won many awards – including 6 BAFTAs, and have been invited to and shown at the Cannes Film Festival.

About United Visual Artists

United Visual Artists create work at the intersection of sculpture, architecture, live performance, and digital installation. UVA’s initial work in live performance led to a sustained interest in spectacle, the relationship between passive spectation and active participation, and the use of responsive systems to create a sense of presence. As UVA’s work has broadened and evolved towards large-scale permanent works, it has become more influenced by complex systems found in nature, while retaining its desire to emotionally engage the viewer and create a sense of communion. UVA’s team members come from many disciplines. This cross-pollination of skills inspires new fields of exploration, which is core to their ethos. This approach to collaboration has resulted in a portfolio of commissions and exhibitions in the UK and further afield. UVA’s work has been exhibited at institutions including the V&A, the Royal Academy of Art, the South Bank Centre, the Wellcome Collection, Opera North Leeds, Durham Cathedral and The British Library. Their works have toured to cities including Paris, New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Melbourne, and Barcelona. UVA also has public art works on permanent display in London, Bristol, Toronto, and Istanbul.

About Park Avenue Armory

Part palace, part industrial shed, Park Avenue Armory fills a critical void in the cultural ecology of New York City by enabling artists to create—and audiences to experience—unconventional work that cannot be mounted in traditional performance halls and museums. With its soaring 55,000-square-foot Wade Thompson Drill Hall and array of exuberant period rooms, the Armory offers a new platform for creativity across all art forms. The Armory has mounted major installations by Ernesto Neto, Ryoji Ikeda, Christian Boltanski, Tom Sachs, and Ann Hamilton; and dance performances by Shen Wei Dance Arts, Tricia Brown, and the final performances of the Merce Cunningham Dance Company across three separate stages. Music performances include Bernd Zimmermann’s harrowing Die Soldaten and Karlheinz Stockhausen’s Gruppen with the New York Philharmonic and performances of his electronic masterpiece OKTOPHONIE. Theater productions include a six-week residency of the Royal Shakespeare Company in 2011, in their Stratford-upon-Avon home rebuilt to scale in the drill hall, and the upcoming production of Macbeth with Kenneth Branagh in June 2014.

About Manchester International Festival

The BBC, The Guardian, and Manchester Evening News are MIF’s media partners.

Manchester International Festival 2013 ran from Thursday July 4 – Sunday July 21, 2013. Learn more at www.mif.co.uk

“Some bands are better than others. Chord by chord, line by line, beat by beat, hook by glorious hook, none is as convincing in 2013 as the Queens of the Stone Age.”–THE LOS ANGELES TIMES

“No prancing, no dancing: just pure cathartic blasts of desert rock.”–ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY “The 15 Biggest Tours”

Rightfully hailed in ROLLING STONE as one of The 50 Greatest Live Acts Right Now and continuing a relentless roll of headline shows at venues from Red Rocks in Colorado to rock n roll’s last stand at Los Angeles’ Gibson Amphitheater, QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE has confirmed the biggest east coast play of the epic U.S. run supporting the international #1 album …Like Clockwork (Matador):

On December 14 Brooklyn, New York’s Barclays Center will be designated as a (relatively) twerk-free-zone as QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE will play its debut headline engagement at the arena, restricting teddy bears to the merch table and returning guitars, drums and other such live instruments to the Barclays stage. For those who need reminding what this might look like, check this recent live clip of …Like Clockwork single “I Sat By The Ocean”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NWIQ-7nNYNw&feature=youtu.be (Embed code: <iframe width=”560″ height=”315″ src=”//www.youtube.com/embed/NWIQ-7nNYNw” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>)

NIRVANA: IN UTERO 20TH ANNIVERSARY MULTI-FORMAT REISSUE OUT SEPTEMBER 24

FULL TRACKLISTING REVEALED INCLUDING REMASTERED ALBUM, NEW 2013 MIX, RECENTLY UNEARTHED “FORGOTTEN TUNE,” ORIGINAL NEVER-BEFORE-HEARD “HEART-SHAPED BOX” AND “ALL APOLOGIES” MIXES, 1990 “MARIGOLD” DEMO, “LIVE AND LOUD” CONCERT FROM DECEMBER 13, 1993 (ALSO AVAILABLE AS A STANDALONE DVD) & MUCH MUCH MORE

To say that Nirvana”s third and ultimately final studio album In Utero was 1993″s most polarizing record would be the understatement of a decade. The unadorned sonic rawness of Steve Albini”s recording laid bare every primal nuance of the most confrontational yet vulnerable material Kurt Cobain, Krist Novoselic and Dave Grohl would ever record. And with its 1991 predecessor Nevermindhaving sold some 30 million copies, singlehandedly returning honest rock “n” roll to the top of the pop charts, In Utero was essentially the first record Nirvana would make with any expectations from the public.  So from the opening quasi-shamble melodics of “Serve The Servants” through the bittersweet closing strains of “All Apologies,” In Utero was the sound of the most incredible yet conflicted rock “n” roll band of the era at the peak of its powers coming to terms with a generational spokes-band mantle they”d never seen coming-and ultimately surmounting these struggles to make the record they needed to make. As Rolling Stone“s David Fricke said in his review at the time, “In Utero is a lot of things-brilliant, corrosive, enraged and thoughtful, most of them all at once. But more than anything, it”s a triumph of the will.”

Universal Music Enterprises will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the unwitting swansong of the single most influential artist of the 1990s with a multi-format release that spreads more than 70 remastered, remixed, rare, unreleased and live recordings over configurations ranging from a 3-CD/1-DVD Super Deluxe Edition to a standard digital/CD remaster of the original album. Material exclusive to the various versions of the In Utero 20th Anniversary reissue will include a veritable treasure trove of never-before-heard demos, B-sides, compilation tracks including:

* Kurt Cobain”s handwritten lyrics
* A new 2013 mix of the entire album
* The original never-before-heard Steve Albinimixes of “Heart-Shaped Box” and “All Apologies”
* The recently unearthed Nirvana instrumental “Forgotten Tune”
* The original Dave Grohl solo demo of “Marigold” from December of 1990–the earliest Grohl composition/recording ever released.
* A four-page letter from Albini to the band outlining his plans for how the album should be recorded.
* Liner notes by Bobcat Goldthwait
* A remixed and newly mastered CD of the entire December 13, 1993 Live And Loud show at Seattle”s Pier 48 featuring the final touring lineup of Cobain, Novoselic, Grohl, and Pat Smear
* The complete Live And Loud show along with several never-before-released bonus performances, that will also be released separately as a standalone DVD and digital download on September 24.

The full track listings for all configurations are detailed below. For further details, stay tuned to http://www.nirvana.com/, @Nirvana and/or www.facebook.com/Nirvana.
