Joseph Arthur Bringing Redemption's Son 15th Anniversary Tour To Los Angeles On July 11th
JOSEPH ARTHUR TO PERFORM REDEMPTION’S SONIN ITS ENTIRETY DURING A LIMITED RUN TOUR 
REAL WORLD TO RELEASE 15TH ANNIVERSARY EDITION OF REDEMPTION’S SONWITH BONUS MATERIAL ON JUNE 23rd
Listen To "Ghost" Here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nAuP1oR9cKQ May 15, 2017 – Anyone who has followed the career of Joseph Arthur since he was personally discovered by Peter Gabriel back in 1997, knows Arthur has never been an artist to look back. Over the course of his career to date, he’s released fourteen albums under his own name, eleven official EP’s and has been involved with several high profile side projects including Fistful Of Mercy (with Ben Harper & Dhani Harrison). However, when it was brought to Arthur’s attention that 2017 marked the 15th Anniversary of one of his most beloved albums, Redemption’s Son, he decided he wanted to do something to honor the occasion. Joseph Arthur will also be embarking on a limited run solo tour beginning on June 20th in Boston where he’ll play the album from beginning to end. “I’ve never done this album from start to finish live,” Arthur remarked. “But Redemption’s Son was always a special record to me and my fans and this clearly seemed like the right time to do it. As I’ve been saying recently to my friends, listening to this album again after all of these years has re-inspired me which honestly was a complete surprise.” On June 23rd, Real World Records, will re-issue the original album (with its original artwork) along with nine bonus tracks all of which have been previously unreleased. Redemption’s Son 15th Anniversary Edition will be available on 180-gram double LP, double CD, and digitally. It will be the first time the album is available on vinyl ever. The nine previously unreleased songs now form a “lost album” which Arthur has named Morning Star. “We decided to turn these tracks into their own album called 'Morning Star' rather than a collection of this that and the other thing,” Arthur remarked. “It's a great feeling when the past burps up a gift. Things forgotten and submerged by the vortex of time which reveals its illusions thru a process such as this. First listens of old things are a lot like taking the wrapping paper off a gift. That excited smile comes over you (hopefully) and it's kinda wonderful. But soon you get transported back to the time these things were new and then they become fresh elements to work with. No more a gift but a responsibility. Like if you got a dog for Christmas. What they say about a work of art being never finished but abandoned is accurate. And I learned here that you can essentially un-abandon them. We took these old things and we set out to make something current.” Upon it’s original release in 2002, the album received rave reviews on both sides of the pond: “Joseph Arthur's brilliant third album proves he was worth the wait
'Redemption's Son exhibits the sure sign of a classic album. The best songs are not nervously loaded at the front. Some of the real gems - the slow, creepy Permission, the unbearably beautiful Favorite Girl and the irresistibly poppy In The Night - emerge nearly an hour into the album.'-
The Times
(UK) “...added intimacy without sacrificing dreamy magnetism...
'2000's Come To Where I'm From was a near masterpiece. This time round, Grammy-bagging mixer Tchad Blake has replaced T-Bone Burnett as producer and brought added intimacy without sacrificing dreamy magnetism... Arthur's vocals [are] as much soothing balm as quiet venom. Blake's deft touch makes bedfellows of gentle acoustic guitar and gliding strings - I Would Rather Hide and Termite Song are stunning... If there's really a God, the Super Furries-goosing-up-Cockney Rebel wizardry of In The Night ought to be the FM smash of the summer.'”
Uncut
(UK) “In the current pop singer-songwriter renaissance, Arthur's art stands out as the most emotionally naked and musically ambitious.” - Entertainment Weekly (US)

Courtney Barnett Shares "How To Boil An Egg"
COURTNEY BARNETTShares "How To Boil An Egg"
Track features on Milk! Records Split Singles Club
Available to download & stream from May 16thTypically infectious, barnstorming and deadpan "How To Boil An Egg" is a standalone brand new track from the critically lauded singer songwriter Courtney Barnett. It was recorded as a contribution to an exciting collaboration between two of Australia's leading independent labels, Milk! Records (the label which she founded with partner Jen Cloher) and Bedroom Suck.
How To Boil An Egg is the result of studio experimentations where Barnett played every instrument herself, and is a reworked version of one of the first songs she ever wrote. In her own words:
"I used to perform this song at all the open-mics when i was 21. It never got recorded, so for personal-posterity I updated it and made this version recently when I was bunkered up in the bush doin some demos for my next album. In tradition of the Milk! Records compilation releases, like "Pickles From The Jar" or "Three Packs A Day", i wanted to include a song of mine for Split Singles Club that was a tad left of album-centre. it's a songwriting experiment that doesn't really belong anywhere else."
Designed to offer a fascinating insight into the tight knit community of Australia's compulsive collaborators, this Singles Club union features hand-picked artists from the scene.
"How To Boil An Egg" will be available on digital and streaming services and as an exclusive physical release on Milk! Records and Bedroom Suck's Split Singles Club. There are still a limited number of vinyl subscriptions available at www.splitsingles.club

Pixies - Leg Three of 2017 North American Tour
PIXIES ANNOUNCE THIRD AND FINAL LEG
OF THE BAND'S 2017 NORTH AMERICAN TOUR
L-R: Paz Lenchantin, Black Francis, Joey Santiago, David LoveringPhoto credit: Travis Shinn
LOS ANGELES, CA - Tuesday, May 16, 2017 - With Leg One of Pixies' 2017 North American tour sold out, and the five-week Leg Two set to kick off on September 19, Pixies - Joey Santiago/guitar, Black Francis/guitar & vocals, David Lovering/ drums, and bassist Paz Lenchantin - announce the addition of a third and final American tour leg in support of the band's second post-reunion release, Head Carrier (pixiesmusic/Play It Again Sam). Leg three launches on November 30 with two shows in Portland, OR and will see the band making stops along the North American west coast. The Orwells will provide support for the first part of the tour with Whitney joining the band for the second part. More dates are expected, but those confirmed are listed below.
In Pixies' ongoing effort to thwart ticket scalping and put as many show tickets as possible into the hands of Pixies fans, there will be no pre-sales for this third leg. Tickets go on sale this Friday, May 19 at 10AM PT - log onto www.pixiesmusic.com for all purchasing info.
As with Legs One and Two, the Leg Three shows will feature a brand new stage set designed by the band's longtime production manager Simon Foster and lighting designer Myles Mangino. The design is simple and sleek and fashioned around special pods that are positioned behind the band, housing all of the lighting. Fans can expect a set list comprised of the classics and catalogue rarities as well as newer songs from Indie Cindy and the band's latest release, Head Carrier. As is the Pixies' norm, there will be no firm setlist for any of the shows. The band has rehearsed and is prepared to play nearly 90 songs from all points of their career, and what is played on any given night is determined mere seconds in advance. Either via hand signals or a live onstage mic that feeds only to the band members and lighting director Mangino, Black Francis calls out what the next song will be. On the nightly customization of the sets, Black Francis recently told Live Nation's Setlist.fm, "The best is when you can sense what the next song should be based on the atmosphere in the room. That's really, ultimately what we're going for, to read the room and to be able to make the right choice." Added drummer Lovering, "Not having a set list also it makes it exciting for us, an adventure."
Pixies launched the European leg of this 2016-17-18 global run last November, playing sold-out shows throughout the UK and wrapping up in Birmingham on December 8. Following the North American leg one that wraps up next week with four sold-out dates in New York, Pixies will head to Europe to play a series of major summer festivals.

Laetitia Sadier Has A New Video & US Tour Dates!
LAETITIA SADIER IN FLUX
FIND ME FINDING YOU IS OUT NOW!
WATCH
"THE WOMAN WITH THE INVISIBLE NECKLACE"
NOW!
Lush, ornate synthetic arrangements wash over with a sweltering and hushed finesse in Laetitia Sadier's brand new video for "The Woman With The Invisible Necklace"! The latest single from the just released Laetitia Sadier Source Ensemble album,
Find Me Finding You
, "The Woman With The Invisible Necklace" exemplifies Laetitia's knack for producing seemingly effortless melody coupled with swift, poignant lyrical themes that take aim at political and interpersonal ideologies. The video, directed by Olia Eichenbaum, presents visuals reminiscent of propagandist films from the 20th century, perhaps suggesting that we are all complacent while the world around us burns.
While we're obviously always prepping for the evermore realistic doomsday scenario, we also can't help but continue to dish out the good news, served to assuage the hint of piss and vinegar in your cereal -- first, Laetitia Sadiercontinues to roll through Europe on the extensive Find Me Finding You tour! And second, we're beyond stoked to announce the Find Me Finding You tour is coming to the North America! Get hip, right in the height of summerLaetitia and the Source Ensemble gang are criss-crossing the USA to cram as many jams into as many cities as possible in the span of about a month.

PHANTOGRAM ANNOUNCES SUMMER TOUR WITH TYCHO & MIIKE SNOW
PHANTOGRAM ANNOUNCES SUMMER TOUR WITH TYCHO & MIIKE SNOW
INCLUDING LIVE FESTIVAL APPEARANCES AT LOLLAPALOOZA, GOVERNORS BALL, SASQUATCH!, OSHEAGA & MORE
Phantogram kicked their summer into high gear with two stellar back-to-back weekend performances at Coachella, and now the critically-acclaimed sonic duo have announced a new leg of summer tour dates across North America. The tour kicks off with a benefit show for the David Lynch Foundation on May 17th at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, and will stop in cities across North America as well as major music festivals including Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, Sasquatch!, Firefly, Osheaga and more. Phantogram will also be joined by co-headliner Tycho on select dates and will be joined by Swedish indie-pop band Miike Snow at two select cities. This new leg of tour dates comes just after the band's previous run of sold-out shows in North America and Europe.
Continuing in their mission to give back to the community while raising awareness for mental health issues, Phantogram will donate a dollar from each ticket purchased to The American Foundation For Suicide Prevention (AFSP, www.afsp.org ) for all headline and co-headline shows starting July 14th in Cleveland. Partnering with the AFSP is important to the duo, who have been outspoken about their goals to raise awareness around mental health issues and increase access to mental health resources.
For more tour information and to see available ticket packages visit www.phantogram.com; tickets go on sale Friday May 19th at 10 AM (VIP package and full tour dates below).
ABOUT THE AMERICAN FOUNDATION FOR SUICIDE PREVENTIONAFSP is a 501c3 non-profit organization that has been at the forefront of a variety of suicide prevention initiatives, including groundbreaking research, new educational campaigns, innovative demonstration projects and critical policy work.

PRESS ON THREE:
"Never before have the duo sounded so animated, self-assured, or synchronized. Barthel effortlessly alternates between half-rapped verses and cooed hooks, with Carter meeting every vocal pivot with a blast of bass, a frigid synth melody, or a distorted guitar riff." - PITCHFORK
"Three is Phantogram's most aggressive, accomplished, and humanizing work to date." - NYLON
"This upstate New York electro-pop duo makes tight, buzzing kiss-offs perfect for scoring teen-movie debauchery. A Top 40 audience may be in reach, if the masses are feeling edgy." - NEW YORK TIMES

INCLUDING LIVE FESTIVAL APPEARANCES AT LOLLAPALOOZA, GOVERNORS BALL, SASQUATCH!, OSHEAGA & MORE
Phantogram kicked their summer into high gear with two stellar back-to-back weekend performances at Coachella, and now the critically-acclaimed sonic duo have announced a new leg of summer tour dates across North America. The tour kicks off with a benefit show for the David Lynch Foundation on May 17th at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, and will stop in cities across North America as well as major music festivals including Lollapalooza, Governors Ball, Sasquatch!, Firefly, Osheaga and more. Phantogram will also be joined by co-headliner Tycho on select dates and will be joined by Swedish indie-pop band Miike Snow at two select cities. This new leg of tour dates comes just after the band's previous run of sold-out shows in North America and Europe.
Continuing in their mission to give back to the community while raising awareness for mental health issues, Phantogram will donate a dollar from each ticket purchased to The American Foundation For Suicide Prevention (AFSP, www.afsp.org ) for all headline and co-headline shows starting July 14th in Cleveland. Partnering with the AFSP is important to the duo, who have been outspoken about their goals to raise awareness around mental health issues and increase access to mental health resources.
For more tour information and to see available ticket packages visit www.phantogram.com; tickets go on sale Friday May 19th at 10 AM (VIP package and full tour dates below).

PRESS ON THREE:
"Never before have the duo sounded so animated, self-assured, or synchronized. Barthel effortlessly alternates between half-rapped verses and cooed hooks, with Carter meeting every vocal pivot with a blast of bass, a frigid synth melody, or a distorted guitar riff." - PITCHFORK
"Three is Phantogram's most aggressive, accomplished, and humanizing work to date." - NYLON
"This upstate New York electro-pop duo makes tight, buzzing kiss-offs perfect for scoring teen-movie debauchery. A Top 40 audience may be in reach, if the masses are feeling edgy." - NEW YORK TIMES
