JACK WHITE NOMINATED FOR ALBUM OF THE YEAR GRAMMY

Three Nominations Total As Blunderbuss Nabs Album of the Year and Best Rock Album Noms, and “Freedom at 21” Receives Best Rock Song Nod

Six-time Grammy winner Jack White has been nominated in three categories in the 55th Annual GRAMMY Awards, including the evening’s highest honor, the Album of the Year.

In addition to Album of the Year,  Blunderbuss is also nominated for Best Rock Album, while “Freedom at 21” has been nominated for Best Rock Song.

The three new Grammy nominations, in addition to White’s previous 15 nominations, bring his career total to 18. White has previously earned six Grammys for his work with the White Stripes and the Raconteurs. This is his second Album of the Year nomination, the first having been the White Stripes’ Elephant in 2003.

The 55th Annual Grammy Awards will be broadcast live on CBS at 8 pm ET/PT on February 10th, 2013.

The three new Grammy nominations round off an exceptional year for Jack White, beginning with the first U.S. #1 album of his distinguished career, as Blunderbuss debuted at the top of the charts in the U.S., UK, Canada and Switzerland.  Blunderbuss was also supported by a rapturously received world tour featuring all-male backing band The Buzzards and all-female backing band The Peacocks. At press time, the album has just begun to tear up Best of 2012 lists, including being named MOJO’s #1 album of the year.

JACK WHITE ISSUES STATEMENT CORRECTING NME MIS-QUOTE: “I NEVER SAID ANYTHING ABOUT HER MUSIC OR QUESTIONED THE AUTHENTICITY OF HER SONGS IN ANY WAY.”

Jack White has issued the following statement to correct an excerpt from his upcoming cover story in British Esquire that was taken completely out of context–and actually edited to change its original meaning–in an NME.com news post.

The original quote referred to the state of image-based celebrity in general was twisted by the NME who changed the original quote, tacking the words “Lady Gaga’s music” on to the original quote–words Jack never actually said.

White commented in full:

I’d like to address the recent tabloidesque drama baiting by the press in regards to Lady Gaga. I never said anything about her music, or questioned the authenticity of her songs in any way. I was in a conversation about the drawbacks of image for the sake of image, and that it is popular nowadays to not question an image in front of you, but only to label it as “cool” or “weird” quickly and dispose of it.  I don’t like my comments about Lady Gaga’s presentation being changed into some sort of negative critique of her music.  If you’re going to try to cause drama, at least get the quotes right.  I think journalists should also be held accountable for what they say.  Especially publications like the NME who put whatever words they feel like between two quotation marks and play it off as a quote.  maybe somebody with more lawyers can take them to task, but I’ll just use the internet and twitter instead.   I also think that kind of tabloid drama encourages artists to not express their opinions in the press, and instead give polite soundbites that don’t stimulate thought about creativity and the consumption of art in its many guises. Peace to lady gaga and I fully congratulate and compliment her on her championing of gay rights issues and the momentum it’s given to help create change.

Thank you.

SOUND CITY OFFICIAL TRAILER UNVEILED FEATURING DAVE GROHL, TOM PETTY, STEVIE NICKS, TRENT REZNOR, NEIL YOUNG, RICK RUBIN & MORE

MOST IN-DEPTH LOOK TO DATE AT GROHL’S SUNDANCE SELECTED DIRECTORIAL DEBUT LIVE NOW AT www.soundcitymovie.com

In the wake of the confirmation of its premiere at the 2013 Sundance Film Festival, Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters, Nirvana) has given fans an unprecedented peek behind the scenes of his directorial debut: The official trailer for his feature documentary film, SOUND CITY, about the legendary Van Nuys, CA studio has just been unveiled via @soundcitymovie and @foofighters.

The trailer can be seen at www.soundcitymovie.com, www.facebook.com/soundcitymovie,  www.youtube.com/soundcitymovie and can be embedded via <iframe width=”1280″ height=”720″ src=”http://www.youtube.com/embed/HQoOfiLz1G4” frameborder=”0″ allowfullscreen></iframe>

Grohl, who will travel to Sundance next month along with select artists featured in the film and its forthcoming soundtrack album commented yesterday, “As a first time director, I am humbled to be able to share my passion for songwriting and storytelling with this incredible cast of legendary musicians, as seen through the extraordinary story of America’s greatest unsung recording studio, Sound City. Being included in this group of artists is a true honor, and the Sundance Film Festival is the perfect place to premiere a film about craft, integrity, and passion for art. I am over the moon!”

SOUND CITY, the film, was conceived by Grohl after purchasing the legendary custom-built Neve 8028 recording console from Sound City Studios last year. The board, built in 1972, is considered by many to be the crown jewel of analog recording equipment, having recorded such artists as Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac, Tom Petty, Cheap Trick, Guns and Roses, Fear, Nirvana, Rage Against the Machine, Slipknot, Nine Inch Nails, Metallica, and countless other musical legends over the past 40 years.

Through interviews with the artists and producers that created decades of musical history at Sound City, the film showcases the amazing history of the studio, focuses on the albums recorded there that went on to change the world, then explores the human element of music in an age of technology, and features performances of new music created exclusively for the film.

Grohl’s personal connection to Sound City began with the 1991 recording of Nirvana’s breakthrough album, “Nevermind”. Selling over 30 million copies worldwide, “Nevermind” changed the entire musical landscape and forever altered the course of Dave Grohl’s life.

Roswell Films, a division of the Roswell Records label that releases Foo Fighters music, will distribute the film. Key personnel involved with the film include Producer/Director Dave Grohl; Editor Paul Crowder (Dogtown & Z Boys, Once In a Lifetime, Riding Giants); and Writer Mark Monroe (The Cove, Once In a Lifetime, The Tillman Story). The film is also being produced in conjunction with Jim Rota, John Ramsay, and Therapy studios.

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS: NORTH AMERICAN TOUR DATES CONFIRMED

PUSH THE SKY AWAY OUT FEBRUARY 19, 2013 ON BAD SEED LTD

TICKET SALE DETAILS, FIRST TRACK “WE NO WHO U R” & PRE-ORDER LIVE NOW AT NICKCAVE.COM

Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds have confirmed details of an upcoming North American tour in support of Push the Sky Away, the fifteenth studio album by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds, to be released in February 19, 2013 by Bad Seed Ltd. on CD, vinyl, digital download and as a deluxe edition.

Sharon Van Etten will support for the duration of the tour, which commences March 14 in Dallas and currently runs through April 3 in Denver. Tickets will go on sale to the general public beginning Thursday, December 6th at 10am local time. Check local venues for exact times or visit www.nickcave.com and www.aeglive.com or up-to-date information.

The announcement of the tour coincides with the unveiling of Push The Sky Away opening track, “We No Who U R.” the first track to be released from Push the Sky Away.  At the heart of Push the Sky Away is a naturalism and warmth that makes it the most subtly beautiful of all the Bad Seeds albums. The contemporary settings of myths, and the cultural references that have time-stamped Nick’s songs of the twenty-first century mist lightly through details drawn from the life he observed around his seaside home, through the tall windows on the album’s mysterious and ambiguous cover.

The songs on this album took form in a modest notebook with shellac covers over the course of almost a year. The notebook is a treasured analogue artefact but the internet is equally important to Nick: Googling curiosities, being entranced by exotic Wikipedia entries “whether they’re true or not”. These songs convey how on the internet profoundly significant events, momentary fads and mystically-tinged absurdities sit side-by-side and question how we might recognize and assign weight to what’s genuinely important.

Push the Sky Away was produced by Nick Launay and recorded at La Fabrique, a recording studio based in a 19th Century mansion in the South of France, where the walls of the main studio are lined with an immense collection of classical vinyl.

“We No Who U R” sets this album in our time; we’re living with the consequences of actions and innovations that seemed so progressive in the industrial era. There’s a calm assessment of the gravity of the situation, and humility. This whole album has a generosity of spirit that’s established here by a children’s choir singing “we know there’s no need to forgive.”

“We No Who U R” is  available  as of December 3 both as an instant grat download with every pre-order album purchase vianickcave.com or iTunes and also as a single download from all digital retailers.

Paul McCartney, Press Releases

PAUL McCARTNEY RELEASES KISSES ON THE BOTTOM – COMPLETE KISSES EXCLUSIVELY ON THE iTUNES STORE IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS

Features McCartney’s acclaimed Kisses on The Bottom album plus the entire Live From Capitol Studios performance and four bonus tracks including “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)”

November 27th, 2012 – Paul McCartney announces a very special Christmas treat for fans with the release of Kisses on the Bottom – Complete Kisses exclusively available on the iTunes Store (Hear Music/Concord Music Group) today.

The album will feature all of McCartney’s hugely acclaimed 2012 album Kisses on the Bottom alongside the entire Live From Capitol Studios concert performance and four bonus tracks including a special festive recording of “The Christmas Song (Chestnuts Roasting On An Open Fire)”, which Paul recorded at Avatar Studios in New York in September. The album will also feature a previously unreleased version of “My Valentine (Johnny Mandel original arrangement)” alongside the tracks “Baby’s Request” and “My One And Only Love”.

Kisses on the Bottom was previously released in February of this year to global critical acclaim and chart success. Recorded with the aid of Grammy-winning producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall and her band, it is a collection of standards plus two brand new McCartney songs “My Valentine” and “Only Our Hearts” which feature guest appearances from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder respectively. The album topped the Billboard Jazz Charts upon its release and has remained in the chart for 40 weeks. It also reached the Top 5 of the UK Albums Chart, Paul’s highest UK chart position in 15 years, and charted Top 5 all around the world.

Paul celebrated the album’s release with Live From Capitol Studios, a very special and intimate concert at the legendary studios in February which was the first and only time that multiple tracks from Kisses On The Bottom have been performed live. The stunning and unique show saw Paul reunited with the cast of all-star musicians who had joined him on the record as he performed behind the microphone without either his famous Höfner bass or any other instruments in hand. This magical once-in-a-lifetime performance is now included on the iTunes release Kisses On The Bottom – Complete Kisses.

Note to Editors:

–       Live From Capitol Studios was performed just hours after Paul brought LA’s Vine Street to a standstill as he was presented with his own star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in front of the Capitol Records Building.

–       The night of the concert (February 9th) was the 48th anniversary of The Beatles’ U.S. TV debut on The Ed Sullivan Show.

–       The week of the live show in LA saw Paul perform twice at the Grammys and pick up one of the prestigious awards himself, closing the show with a superstar jam alongside Joe Walsh, Dave Grohl and Bruce Springsteen. He was also honored as the MusiCares Person of the Year at a gala featuring Coldplay, Neil Young, Katy Perry and Foo Fighters performing their favorite McCartney tracks.

NICK CAVE & THE BAD SEEDS: PUSH THE SKY AWAY

19th FEBRUARY 2013

ALBUM TRAILER LIVE NOW: http://bzz.is/8k8

“Well, if I were to use that threadbare metaphor of albums being like children, then Push The Sky Away is the ghost-baby in the incubator and Warren’s loops are its tiny, trembling heart-beat.” Nick Cave

At the heart of Push the Sky Away is a naturalism and warmth that makes it the most subtly beautiful of all the Bad Seeds albums. The contemporary settings of myths, and the cultural references that have time-stamped Nick’s songs of the twenty-first century mist lightly through details drawn from the life he observed around his seaside home, through the tall windows on the album’s mysterious and ambiguous cover.

The songs on this album took form in a modest notebook with shellac covers over the course of almost a year. The notebook is a treasured analogue artefact but the internet is equally important to Nick: Googling curiosities, being entranced by exotic Wikipedia entries “whether they’re true or not”. These songs convey how on the internet profoundly significant events, momentary fads and mystically-tinged absurdities sit side-by-side and question how we might recognise and assign weight to what’s genuinely important.

Push the Sky Away was produced by Nick Launay and recorded at La Fabrique, a recording studio based in a 19th Century mansion in the South of France, where the walls of the main studio are lined with an immense collection of classical vinyl.

“I enter the studio with a handful of ideas, unformed and pupal; it’s the Bad Seeds that transform them into things of wonder. Ask anyone who has seen them at work. They are unlike any other band on earth for pure, instinctive inventiveness.” Nick Cave

On this album it’s not always apparent what instruments the band is playing: they may be traditional musical instruments but other sounds are clearly generated by objects unrelated to musical instruments. What’s being created is a collective musical language that’s rich and complex.

Push the Sky Away has a clarity and sweet strangeness that’s built upon the refusal to accept limitations, whether they be the traditional uses and sounds of musical instruments, lyric styles, or diminished spiritual horizons.

“I don’t know, this record just seems new, you know, but new in an old school kind of way” Nick Cave

Push the Sky Away, the fifteenth studio album by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds will be released in February 2013 on CD/ Ltd CD-DVD / Vinyl / Digital.

Track one “We No Who U R” is  available  from 3rd December. The track comes as a download with every pre-order album purchase via nickcave.com or iTunes. “We No Who U R” will also be available as a single download from all digital retailers.
