BOB MOULD MAKES HIS DEBUT APPEARANCE ON THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT

BOB MOULD MAKES HIS DEBUT APPEARANCE ON THE LATE SHOW WITH STEPHEN COLBERT 
CBS SATURDAY MORNING SEGMENT TO AIR APRIL 30

BOB MOULD CUSTOM GUITAR PEDAL “SKY PATCH” ON SALE NOW

Last night, Bob Mould and his bandmates Jason Narducy and Jon Wurster returned to the stage at the Ed Sullivan Theater, making their first Late Show appearance since Stephen Colbert took the desk. The resultant fiery rendition of “The End Of Things” from Bob’s acclaimed new album Patch The Sky (Merge) can be seen HERE.

Bob also was on hand to give some backstage guitar lessons while in the Green Room, see if you can follow along HERE.

Last week Bob Mould kicked off a North American tour in support of Patch The Sky. Kicking off in Madison, WI, the tour quickly took an intense turn as the band coincidentally found themselves playing the famed First Ave in Minneapolis the day after Prince’s death. Through a purple haze the band played some of the most cathartic shows in Minneapolis’ history. As Minneapolis City Pages reported, “Part of it might have been the Irish wake atmosphere palpable both inside and outside the club. Prince was being honored, remembered, and celebrated. The other part was the sheer power of the musicianship on display. Together, they conspired to deliver the magic of the evening.” CBS Saturday Morning was on site to capture the majestic evening and will air its segment on Bob Mould this Saturday, April 30th.

Additionally, as reported by Guitar World – Bob has collaborated with Australian guitar pedal manufacturer Tim Brennan on a custom limited edition pedal called the “Sky Patch”. The pedal will be available for purchase now. Bob says of the collaboration:

I first became acquainted with Tim’s pedals during a tour stop in Brisbane, Australia in 2013. Tim brought a limited edition Tymexar St. Paul Distortion pedal to the venue as a gift. Once I returned to the US and spent some time with the pedal, I was very impressed by the craftsmanship and sound quality. It quickly replaced my trusted MXR Distortion+ pedals during the “Beauty & Ruin” recording sessions.

In 2014, Tim designed the “Beauty & Ruin” pedal sold exclusively through Tim Guitars. All the pedals were quickly purchased — as are all of Tim’s custom designs.

For the new album, we worked together to design the “Sky Patch” — a slightly modified version of the previous pedals. This limited edition run of the “Sky Patch” pedal comes with a T-shirt featuring the face place artwork. These shirts will not be reproduced beyond this single production run.

With the “Sky Patch”, Tim has updated what I consider to be the best distortion pedal ever — the MXR Distortion+ — into a tighter, fuller, and more focused stomp box. It’s ready for the road, the studio, or the comfort of your own rehearsal space. I hope you appreciate Tim’s work as much as I have over the last three years!

Tim Brennan of Tym Guitars says of the collaboration:

The limited edition Tym Sky Patch is based on one of my old early 80’s MXR Dist + circuits that became the basis for the Beauty & Ruin signature pedal. This new Sky Patch uses my own specially designed and made PCB’s with quality, low tolerance parts throughout. This version of the classic distortion uses the original LM741CN IC as used in the original script logo MXR’s to push silicon diodes into warm, but crisp clipping and delivers more overall volume than the originals. It’s housed in my custom handmade stainless steel enclosures with standard “BOSS” style 9V input jack and special blue LED with artwork based on the new Bob Mould album.

Due to overwhelming demand, Paul McCartney has confirmed he will add a second and final show to his Cleveland, OH engagement at Quicken Loans Arena on Thursday, August 18th.

As with the launch of every new Paul McCartney tour, One On One promises to unveil a dazzling re-designed set, dozens of classics from the most beloved catalog in popular music, spanning Paul’s entire career–as a solo artist, member of Wings and of course as a Beatle—and no shortage of surprises.

One On One is the first new Paul McCartney tour since the juggernaut that was Out There came to its stunning conclusion on October 22, 2015 with Paul’s first ever concert in Buffalo, NY. Out There’s finale capped off an incredible 2015, in which the tour played 27 shows in 22 cities throughout the world, with highlights including Paul’s historic debut in South Korea—where the crowd at Seoul Olympic Stadium’s refusal to stop singing the refrain to “Hey Jude” literally forced Paul to reprise the song in the first encore, playing that signature bassline live for the first time—three nights at the Tokyo Dome and one at Budokan, a sold out stand at Paris’ majestic Stade de France, more than a dozen packed arena shows across the U.S., UK and Europe, and triumphant headlines at festivals such as Firefly, Roskilde, and Lollapalooza in Chicago—the latter a tour de force performance for a 100,000-strong crowd featuring a guest appearance from Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard on “Get Back.”

The Paul McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show—and so much more: Nearly three hours worth of the greatest moments from the last 50 years of music, dozens of songs that have formed the soundtracks of our lives. Paul and his band have played an unparalleled range of venues and locations: outside the Coliseum in Rome, Moscow’s Red Square, Buckingham Palace, The White House, a free show in Mexico for over 400,000 people, the last ever show at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park where The Beatles played their final concert 1966, and even one performance broadcast live into Space! Featuring Paul’s band of the last 10+ years – Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) – the show is never anything short of life-changing.

The One On One Tour will debut a brand new production, as always utilizing state of the art audio and video technology and to ensure an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house. Employing
massive screens, lasers, fireworks and, of course, a staggering selection of the best songs ever written or performed, every Paul McCartney show promises a once in a lifetime evening that transcends and elevates the potential of live music.

Tickets for the August 18th Cleveland date are on sale now Monday, April 25 via theQarena.com, Quicken Loans Arena Box Office, by-phone at 888-894-9424 or at any Northern Ohio Discount Drug Mart.

BAND OF HORSES: WHY ARE YOU OK

BAND OF HORSES: WHY ARE YOU OK

NEW ALBUM OUT IN JUNE ON INTERSCOPE/AMERICAN RECORDINGS

WORLD TOUR BEGINS MAY 21

“CASUAL PARTY” OUT NOW – LYRIC VIDEO WORLD PREMIERE COURTESY OF FUCK HERE

BOH Album Cover
In the past, Band of Horses founder and leader Ben Bridwell would literally run away from home to write: Holing up in a secluded cabin or other such remote location, emerging months later with new songs for his band to flesh out and fully animate. This time—whether by happenstance or conscious need for a drastic change—Ben stayed home to write. In the estrogen-charged atmosphere of a home shared with his wife and four—yes, four—daughters he allowed his everyday experiences to inform his process. Between dropping off and picking up the girls, changing diapers, and playing dress up, Bridwell spent every precious free minute—often the wee hours on the morning into daybreak—in his garage writing.

While Bridwell and his bandmates–Tyler Ramsey, Ryan Monroe, Creighton Barrett and Bill Reynolds—convened in South Carolina alongside producer Jason Lytle (Grandaddy), Bridwell struggled to bring the new material into focus. One day, at a particularly crucial part of the recording process Ben’s phone rang. It was Rick Rubin—who’d randomly heard a Band of Horses song on the radio during a drive, and had been moved to pull over and call. Without going into details, Bridwell can’t stress the value of this phone call enough. It was exactly the final push that his songs needed on their journey from conception to being sent out into the world.

The result is Band of Horses’ fifth studio album, Why Are You OK, a record informed by experience and at the same time retaining the vulnerability that birthed their greatest songs. Creating capsule worlds populated by the strange but true cast of characters from Bridwell’s hometown Charleston, SC, Why Are You OK‘s songs combined universal sentiments with Bridwell’s patented knack for storytelling—all wrapped in the lush melodic textures that have long been the bedrock of Band of Horses’ signature sound.

Why Are You OK is set for release in June via Interscope Records/American Recordings. The album was produced by Jason Lytle, Executive Produced by Rick Rubin and mixed by Dave Fridmann.

Why Are You OK tracklist:

1. Dull Times/The Moon
2. Solemn Oath
3. Hag
4. Casual Party
5. In A Drawer
6. Hold On Gimme A Sec
7. Lying Under Oak
8. Throw My Mess
9. Whatever, Wherever
10. Country Teen
11. Barrel House
12. Even Still

Last night, the band asked their favorite Twitter follower, Fuck (@7Adrewg), to premiere the Korean karaoke style lyric video for the first single “Casual Party”. You can now view it HERE. Mr. Fuck had caught the band’s attention not only by his surname, but also because he’d been tweeting compliments at the band upon the unveiling of the new album art. After further investigation, it was discovered that he was indeed a longtime fan, and the band felt he deserved the first look and listen.

The band will be touring throughout the summer and fall. More dates to be announced as the band embarks on a world tour which will see them hitting stages across the globe through 2017. See below for the current schedule.

“A startling 15-song masterpiece, ‘Heartbreaker’ is…an album of astonishing musical proficiency, complete honesty and severe beauty.” —PITCHFORK

“…an exquisite collection of charred and tattered songs about a doomed relationship and its bitter aftermath…”—UNCUT

Heartbreaker, the debut solo album by Ryan Adams, hailed as a modern classic on its release in September 2000, will be re-released by Paxam Records and distributed by Caroline Records and Universal Music on  May 6th on 180gm 4LP/DVD and 2CD/DVD Deluxe Editions along with digital release of the 35 audio tracks.   Remastered from the original tapes, the album will come in a deluxe box set that features the 15 song album plus demos and unreleased outtakes from this landmark record by one of rock music’s most prolific and charismatic stars.  The package will also include a DVD featuring never before released footage of a complete solo acoustic show at the Mercury Lounge in New York City in October 2000 (including  Adams’ first ever live performance of his now-legendary cover of Oasis’s “Wonderwall”),  and a glossy booklet of rare and unseen photos with liner notes written by producer, friend and collaborator Ethan Johns.

Watch the teaser video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X9ksbbLk_sI&feature=youtu.be

Heartbreaker was recorded over fourteen days at Woodland Studios in Nashville.  The band featured Ryan Adams on guitars, vocals, piano and harmonica, Ethan Johns on bass and drums, bluegrass stalwarts Dave Rawlings and Gillian Welch on guitars and backing vocals, and Pat Sansone on keyboards.  The album also included guest vocals by Emmylou Harris, Kim Richey and Alison Pierce.

Ryan Adams was born in 1974 in Jacksonville, North Carolina.  At an early age he started writing short stories and poems before receiving his first guitar at the age of 14.  Shortly afterwards he joined a local band named Blank Label and released a record while Adams was  just 16.  Adams went on to perform with local bands Ass and The Lazy Stars before joining punk band The Patty Duke Syndrome, who released one single during a brief career.  In 1994 Adams formed Whiskeytown who went on to release three seminal albums ‘Faithless Street’, ‘Strangers Almanac’ and ‘Pneumonia’ that went some way to defining the burgeoning alt-country scene in the US and announced Adams as a truly gifted singer-songwriter.  Despite critical raves and a growing fanbase, the band split up in 2000.  Adams went solo and has since released 15 studio albums: ‘Heartbreaker’ (2000), ‘Gold’ (’01), ‘Demolition’ (‘02), ‘Rock n Roll’ (’03), ‘Love Is Hell’ (’04), ‘Cold Roses’ (’05), ‘Jacksonville City Nights’ (’05), ‘29’ (’05), ‘Easy Tiger’ (’07), ‘Cardinology’ (’08), ‘Orion’ (’10), ‘III/IV’ (’10), ‘Ashes & Fire’ (’11), ‘Ryan Adams’ (’14) and ‘1989’ (’15).

“Hold On,” the latest single from Bob Mould’s critically acclaimed—and recent #1 selling vinyl LP and U.S. Top 100-charting—latest album Patch The Sky (Merge), is also the first track written for the album. Originally conceived by Mould in 2013 as a downtempo acoustic track, the song has since seen a radical transformation into an anthem of hope. Today it is released in all of its glory along with a video interpretation directed by Alicia J. Rose which can be viewed here: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=UHgYceWTmms

Still plagued by the inner spirits that first appeared in the clip for Patch The Sky’s “Voices In My Head,” Part Two of this video series sees Bob’s unmistakable guitar signatures throughout “Hold On” serve as the tools to fend off his demons… while within in an alternate universe playing in a bar for bearded doppelgangers all in plaid, and even a gentleman in white formalwear toasting a life sized rat.

Before Bob Mould and stalwart bandmates Jason Narducy and Jon Wurster hit the road next week and begin their U.S. tour in Madison, WI,  Bob will venture out for a solo electric headlining set at a celebratory concert in honor of the grand opening of Seattle’s own KEXP and their brand new home. “Over the years, KEXP has broadcast live sessions with me from all over the US: studios in NYC, clubs in Portland OR, and festivals such as Bumbershoot and Sasquatch,” says Mould. “I’m thrilled to be part of the grand opening of the new KEXP location.” All live performances will be broadcast on KEXP 90.3 FM Seattle and KEXP.ORG

The band will also be making an April 25th stop at The Late Show With Stephen Colbert before making his way back across the country to play to sold out rooms in Chicago, Los Angeles and San Francisco among others. Later this fall the Bob and the band are scheduled to make their debut appearance at the famed Hollywood Bowl to play KCRW’s World Festival.

Paul McCartney has confirmed four more stops on his hotly anticipated, brand new One On One tour, which opens tonight in Fresno, CA.

On July 10, Paul will play the US Bank Arena in Cincinnati, his first visit to the Queen City since the On The Run tour filled the Great American Ball Park in August 2011.

July 12 will see Paul hitting Citizens Bank Park–home of the Philadelphia Phillies—returning to  Philadelphia by popular demand following last June’s sold-out stop on the Out There tour at the Wells Fargo Center.

July 19 is confirmed as Paul’s first ever appearance in Hershey, PA, as he brings the One On One tour to Hersheypark Stadium.

And on August 7, Paul will take the stage at MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ, for his first appearance in the area since 2002 on the Driving USA tour and first stadium play since that historic evening in 1993 at Giants Stadium on the New World Tour.

As with the launch of every new Paul McCartney tour, One On One promises to unveil a dazzling re-designed set, dozens of classics from the most beloved catalog in popular music, spanning Paul’s entire career–as a solo artist, member of Wings and of course as a Beatle—and no shortage of surprises.

One On One is the first new Paul McCartney tour since the juggernaut that was Out There came to its stunning conclusion on October 22, 2015 with Paul’s first ever concert in Buffalo, NY. Out There’s finale capped off an incredible 2015, in which the tour played 27 shows in 22 cities throughout the world, with highlights including Paul’s historic debut in South Korea—where the crowd at Seoul Olympic Stadium’s refusal to stop singing the refrain to “Hey Jude” literally forced Paul to reprise the song in the first encore, playing that signature bassline live for the first time—three nights at the Tokyo Dome and one at Budokan, a sold out stand at Paris’ majestic Stade de France, more than a dozen packed arena shows across the U.S., UK and Europe, and triumphant headlines at festivals such as Firefly, Roskilde, and Lollapalooza in Chicago—the latter a tour de force performance for a 100,000-strong crowd featuring a guest appearance from Alabama Shakes’ Brittany Howard on “Get Back.”

The Paul McCartney live experience is everything any music lover could ever want from a rock show—and so much more: Nearly three hours worth of the greatest moments from the last 50 years of music, dozens of songs that have formed the soundtracks of our lives. Paul and his band have played an unparalleled range of venues and locations: outside the Coliseum in Rome, Moscow’s Red Square, Buckingham Palace, The White House, a free show in Mexico for over 400,000 people, the last ever show at San Francisco’s Candlestick Park where The Beatles played their final concert 1966, and even one performance broadcast live into Space! Featuring Paul’s band of the last 10+ years – Paul “Wix” Wickens (keyboards), Brian Ray (bass/guitar), Rusty Anderson (guitar) and Abe Laboriel Jr (drums) – the show is never anything short of life-changing.

The One On One Tour will debut a brand new production, as always utilizing state of the art audio and video technology and to ensure an unforgettable experience from every seat in the house. Employing massive screens, lasers, fireworks and, of course, a staggering selection of the best songs ever written or performed, every Paul McCartney show promises a once in a lifetime evening that transcends and elevates the potential of live music.

Tickets for Philadelphia, Hershey and East Rutherford will be on sale Friday, April 22 at 10am local time.
