DR. DEMENTO COVERED IN PUNK DUE OUT JANUARY 12, 2018
DR. DEMENTO COVERED IN PUNK DUE OUT JANUARY 12, 2018 TWO-HOUR PUNK ROCK EXTRAVAGANZA FEATURING JOAN JETT AND THE BLACKHEARTS, MISFITS, B52's FRED SCHNEIDER, WILLIAM SHATNER, CLASSIC BATMAN ADAM WEST, WEIRD AL YANKOVIC AND MORE WILLIAM SHATNER'S COVER OF THE CRAMPS GARBAGEMAN AVAILABLE WITH PREORDERS STARTING TODAY COVER ART CREATED BY ICONIC ILLUSTRATOR DREW FRIEDMANNEW YORK, NY - NOVEMBER 7, 2017 - Demented Punk today announced its inaugural release, DR. DEMENTO COVERED IN PUNK, a special two-hour demented punk extravaganza featuring an eclectic mix of artists from the world of classic and contemporary punk/indie/alt-rock, along with special guest stars from film, TV and more. This audio oddity is a modern-day homage to radio icon Dr. Demento, a world-renowned institution who has championed novelty music and its creators since the 1970s, will be released on January 12, 2018 by both physical and digital retailers. "I've been a fan of Dr. Demento nearly my entire life," said album producer and participant, John Cafiero. "The Doc's show has introduced audiences to counter culture and an eclectic talent pool of humor-infused music for nearly five decades; creating a musical movement that echoes the spirit of punk with its own unique voice. There are no airs, and everyone's welcome. If you didn't fit in- you fit in." Dr. Demento Covered In Punk features over thirty different, never before released, all-new 'punk' cover versions of 'mad music and crazy comedy' songs famously heard on the airwaves of the legendary "Dr Demento Show"- intermixed with 'wild card' tracks showcasing some incredible, newly 'demented' versions of punk-rock classics! Joined by everyone from the Misfits, Joan Jett, Fred Schneider of the B52s, to "Weird Al" Yankovic, the late Adam "Batman" West (in one of his final performances), and Captain Kirk himself, William Shatner-(to name just a few). The Doctor is in...and he's 'Covered in Punk'!! A full track listing can be found below. "I produced the album and curated the artist roster as if it was a musical art exhibition, or directing a feature film, and packaged it in the form of a traditional radio show hosted by Dr. D. himself. For some this might be an introduction to the lost art of the traditional radio format, and for others, a welcome return," adds Cafiero. "The artists here range from classic to contemporary, from icons and legends, to fresh voices from the underground-but I don't think any of them are doing what you might expect of them here! It's really a celebration of the bizarre, and I can't wait to unleash it on to the world."
"When John Cafiero first proposed this project several years ago I was a little puzzled at first, but when he began naming the artists and songs he'd lined up for the project I was totally sold," said Dr. Demento. "What started out as a single CD soon grew into a double (and a triple for vinyl), and I hope you enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed helping John put this together."
Dr. Demento Covered In Punk includes an in-depth booklet with equally entertaining liner notes and personal quotes from the participating artists, a foreword by album producer and Demented Punk founder John Cafiero (Misfits, Ramones, Osaka Popstar), an afterword by Dr. Demento, as well as factoids, photos and an array of dynamic paintings and illustrations created exclusively for the project by a team of visual artists spanning the world of comic books, classic punk rock album covers, Topps trading card series, Mad Magazine and more. The cover artwork for the album was created by iconic illustrator Drew Friedman whose work has appeared in countless publications from Entertainment Weekly and Time Magazine to Rolling Stone and the New Republic and just about everything in between.
Dr. Demento Covered In Punk will be released in the following configurations:
1. A 3LP colored vinyl triple-gatefold package with 20-page booklet.LP1: Solid 'Gunk' GreenLP2: Solid 'Punk' PinkLP3: Solid 'Demented' Yellow 2. A 2CD Set with 48-page booklet 3.

Hot Snakes’ Automatic Midnight, Suicide Invoice + Audit in Progress reissues available from Sub Pop on Jan. 19th, 2018 + share UK tour dates
Hot Snakes’ Automatic Midnight, Suicide Invoice, and Audit in Progress reissues will be available worldwide from Sub Pop on January 19th, 2018
New 2018 headlining UK tour dates begin January 25
UK tickets on sale today at 3pm GMT

On Friday, January 19th, 2018, Hot Snakes entire discography -- Automatic Midnight, Suicide Invoice, andAudit in Progress -- will be reissued on CD / LP / CS / DL worldwide through Sub Pop. The first pressing of the LP reissues of these albums will be on colored vinyl (Automatic Midnight on orange, Suicide Invoice on yellow, and Audit in Progress on pink) and each album will come with its own, new set of 6 stickers designed by the band’s Rick Froberg. And January 19th will be the first time any of these albums have been available on cassette.
These influential post-hardcore all-stars – boasting members of Pitchfork, Rocket From the Crypt, Drive Like Jehu, Earthless, Obits, Burning Brides, OFF!, The Delta 72, and more –released three of our favorite rock records of the past 20 years: Automatic Midnight in 2000, Suicide Invoice in 2002 and Audit in Progress in 2004. And now, finally, they’re ours! As we await the somewhat-later-in-2018 release of their first new album since 2004, please make these Sub Pop reissues yours…
Automatic Midnight, Hot Snakes’ first studio album, originally came out in 2000. Both the band and the album began as a side project for John Reis in June 1999, during time off from his main band Rocket From the Crypt. Reis wrote and recorded a batch of songs in San Diego with Delta 72 drummer Jason Kourkounis. To provide vocals for the tracks Reis called in Rick Froberg, whom he had played with in Pitchfork and Drive Like Jehu from 1986 to 1995. Most of the material from these sessions was used to create Automatic Midnight, which became the first release for Reis' newly formed Swami Records label. The band’s sound represented a return to the unrealized past of its members: direct, undraped and rock ‘n’ roll while still maintaining the dense and turbulent character of the members’ previous work. In April or May of 2000, Hot Snakes added bassist Gar Wood, found their live sound and established themselves as primo, down-stroke warlords.
Suicide Invoice, their second album, was originally released in 2002. It was recorded at San Diego’s Drag Racist Studios in 2002 with engineer Ben Moore. The album exhibits Hot Snakes’ slightly larger palate in mood and dissonance. People enjoyed the shows and listening to the recorded music. But, strain from controversy and fame would reveal cracks in the seemingly impenetrable hide of Hot Snakes. A year after the album’s release, drummer Jason Kourkounis left to focus on other music.
Audit in Progress is their third studio album, originally released in 2004. The band recorded the album with new drummer Mario Rubalcaba at San Diego’s Big Fish Recording with engineer Ben Moore. An increased attraction to dissonance surfaced on Audit in Progress. The album was well-received by critics and fans and was named "best punk album" at the 2005 San Diego Music Awards. More shows were played and enjoyed and the band visited many cities all over the world. By 2005, the band spiraled into a mid-life punk crisis and stopped performing.
Lucky for all of us here in the present, Hot Snakes are charging back, renewed, recording new music and playing shows with both drummers, and planning for the release of a new album in 2018 on Sub Pop Records.
Automatic Midnight, Suicide Invoice, and Audit in Progress are now available for preorder in the following formats [preorder here]:
CD digipack with custom dust sleeveLP in a single-pocket jacket with custom dust sleeve and new sticker sheetCassetteDigital
An updated Hot Snakes T-shirt design will also be available.

ANNOUNCES TOUR WITH DAN AUERBACH, SHANNON SHAW, & SHANNON & THE CLAMS
TO RELEASE NEW ALBUM GOIN’ PLATINUM! VIA EASY EYE SOUND ON DECEMBER 8th
‘A herculean soulman.’
– Uncut
“Right from the first farking note, this s*** is dope!”
- Taj Mahal
“Finley’s work with Auerbach sounds like the ideal juxtaposition of the textbook Black-Keys-groove with larger-than-life blues vocals.”
-BillboardThis morning, soul singer Robert Finley debuts his new music video for “Get It While You Can” via Rolling Stone, who call him a "swaggering soul man". The song was written by The Black Key’s Dan Auerbach, John Prine, and Pat McLaughlin and features performances by Auerbach on electric guitar, Russ Pahl on acoustic guitar, & Bobby Wood on piano. You can watch the new video, directed by Gus Black on Rolling Stone.
Recently, Finley also announced the 20-date “Easy Eye Sound Revue Tour,” with Dan Auerbach, Shannon Shaw, and special guests Shannon & the Clams. The extensive North American tour will kick off on February 10 in Vancouver with stops in Brooklyn, Portland, Austin, Seattle, Los Angeles, Nashville and more (full dates below). Each night will feature performances by Easy Eye Sound artists including, Shannon Shaw, Dan Auerbach, and of course, Robert Finley, all backed by the The Easy Eye Sound house band, composed ofGene “Bubba” Chrisman, Bobby Wood (keys), Russ Pahl (guitar), and Dave Roe (bass). Tickets for this tour are on sale now and can be purchased here.
Robert Finley will release his second studio album, Goin’ Platinum! on December 8th via Easy Eye Sound. The album captures a singer at his prime, surrounded by all-time-great session musicians with skill to match his singular voice, including drummer Gene Chrisman (Elvis Presley, Aretha Franklin), keys player Bobby Woods (JJ Cale, Bobby Womack), horns players from Preservation Hall, and legendary guitarist Duane Eddy. Goin’ Platinum! was co-written and produced by The Black Key’s Dan Auerbach and also features writing credits by legendary songwriters John Prine, Nick Lowe, and Pat McLaughlin. “These guys are legends in their own time,” Finley says. “I’m grateful to be part of the team and working with such extraordinary guys. We hooked up the soul and rock and roll and made one hell of a record.” Goin’ Platinum! is available for pre-order on CD, vinyl, and digitally here.
Finley appeared for the first time live, along with Dan Auerbach, on “A Prairie Home Companion” with host Chris Thile, on October 28th to perform the first two singles off his forthcoming album, “Medicine Woman” & “Get It While You Can.” Watch the performances here.
Recently, Billboard shared the music video for Robert Finley’s “Medicine Woman,” the first single off Goin’ Platinum!, along with an in depth interview, where they hail Finley “as a prime example that talent only improves with age.” Read Billboard’s feature here.
Hailing from the small town of Bernice, Louisiana, Robert Finley, a self-taught musician, is no stranger to collaborating with and leading an elite group of musicians. Finley joined the army as a teenager to become a helicopter technician, but quickly found work as the leader of the Army’s band and toured the continent many times with them on guitar and vocals. Following his military service, Finley settled back in the States and made a living as a carpenter, still playing music, but more as a hobby than professionally. It wasn’t until Finley lost most of his eyesight and was forced to retire from carpentry that two happenstances rejuvenated his career.
First, while playing to a street crowd in Arkansas, Finley met a member of the Music Maker Relief Foundation, an organization that provides direct support to older and underprivileged musicians. This lead to his first LP,Age Don’t Mean a Thing, which was released on Big Legal Mess Records in the fall of 2016. A video of Finley performing songs on the street also made its way to Dan Auerbach, front man of The Black Keys and new Nashville-based record label owner. Auerbach immediately recognized the singer’s immense and innate talent, and writing and recording sessions with the Easy Eye Sound house band, which Relix Magazine named “Nashville’s New Wrecking Crew,” spawned the songs on Goin’ Platinum!
From the lovelorn bombast of “If You Forget My Love” and the soul-stirring “Medicine Woman,” to the home-on-the-road ripper “Empty Arms” and the yearning “Honey, Let Me Stay the Night,” all capped by Finley’s ethereal falsetto on album closer “Holy Wine,” Finley’s sublime and stirring vocals, anchor Goin’ Platinum! and elevate the album’s ten original songs, making them feel equally contemporary and timeless. “I realized very quickly Robert’s capable of doing so much more than old blues songs,” Auerbach says. “He’s a blues guitar player, but when he puts his guitar down, you could set him in front of an orchestra and he would sing just as good as Ray Charles on the first take. He has that magnetic hugeness about his voice and just knows where to put it in the pocket, always.”
Goin' Platinum! is the second release on Dan Auerbach’s new record label, Easy Eye Sound and is distributed by Auerbach's longtime label Nonesuch Records. Easy Eye Sound is built equally around Auerbach’s Easy Eye Studio in Nashville, where The Black Keys recorded their last two albums, as well as the collection of famous session musicians that have come to call the studio home. Auerbach says, “Sometimes I feel I created my own Field of Dreams. I built the studio because I knew something was going to happen. I built it to accommodate live musicians playing, and then all of a sudden the best musicians in Nashville show up, and it’s happening.”

Elvis Costello New Single ‘You Shouldn’t Look At Me That Way' Out November 10th
Elvis Costello New Single ‘You Shouldn’t Look At Me That Way' Out November 10thNew Song Written for the forthcoming movie ‘Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool’
November 6, 2017 (New York, NY) - The one and only Elvis Costello releases a brand new song ‘You Shouldn’t Look At Me that Way’, written especially for the forthcoming movie ‘Film Stars Don’t Die In Liverpool’ - available on November 10th on Verve Records.
Written, orchestrated and performed by Elvis Costello, this sublime tune can be heard in the upcoming ‘Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool’ based on Peter Turner’s memoir about his relationship with eccentric Academy Award winning actress Gloria Grahame. The film stars Jamie Bell and Annette Bening and is generating much pre-release acclaim.
It’s no coincidence that Elvis Costello was keen to write a song for the project as he was already intrigued by Gloria Grahame’s life story. Producers Barbara Broccoli, Colin Vaines and director Paul McGuigan caught an Elvis Costello show at the London Palladium and were all delighted and surprised to see Grahame’s picture appear on the TV screen visuals during the song ‘Church Underground’.
“It must have been quite startling for Barbara, Colin and Paul,” Elvis laughs.
"‘You Shouldn’t Look At Me That Way’ is a song dealing with two people who have a lot of secrets. They were in a relationship and perhaps had difficulty seeing each other as they really were. All lovers have secrets. One lover has some vanity but also a lot of vulnerability. The title really came from that. It could refer to a seductive gaze but also a plea not to be judged.”
Directed by Paul Mcguigan and based on Peter Turner’s memoir, the film follows the playful but passionate relationship between Turner (Bell) and the eccentric Academy Award®-winning actress Gloria Grahame (Bening) in 1978 Liverpool. What starts as a vibrant affair between a legendary femme fatale and her young lover quickly grows into a deeper relationship, with Turner being the person Gloria turns to for comfort. Their passion and lust for life is tested to the limits by eventsbeyond their control. View the trailer here.
