THE ARCS CONFIRM NEW TOUR DATES
NPR MUSIC’S TINY DESK CONCERT
OUT TODAY
YOURS, DREAMILY, AVAILABLE NOW
“Yours, Dreamily, takes what Auerbach does at his best, in and out of the Keys—confessional, texturally enriched blues propelled with garage-rock force—and adds a riveting jump in eccentricity.”—Rolling Stone ★★★★ “Right from the drop, Yours, Dreamily, ignites like a cigarette
flicked on a stream of gasoline.” —NPR “[The album] lands right in the meaty part of the psychedelic curve with jolts of lush hypno-soul and tough garage-edelia.” —Entertainment Weekly
“A down-tempo treat, tailor-made for sundazed summer evening drives with the windows down. Sexy, slinky, even desert-like. Auerbach delivers some of his hottest-ever guitar. This one, for sure, is a keeper.”—MOJO
“One of the world’s baddest yet dreamiest garage-soul bands …Yours, Dreamily satisfyingly careers from gauzy, reverb-soaked late-night soundscapes to raucous, fuzzy freak-outs.”—Boston Globe
The Arcs —which features Dan Auerbach, Leon Michels, Richard Swift, Homer Steinweiss and Nick Movshon—confirm new tour dates, with stops at Portland’s Roseland Theater, Indio’s Coachella, Los Angeles’ Henry Fonda Theatre, Denver’s Ogden Theatre and New Orleans’ House Of Blues. See below for complete tour dates. The Arcs recently stopped by NPR Music headquarters in Washing D.C. to perform a Tiny Desk Concert. NPR calls the performance a “perfect intersection of the known and the unknown.” Watch the performance here:http://n.pr/1PwkcGr Yours, Dreamily, continues to receive critical praise, Rolling Stone named the record among their top ten albums of 2015, calling it a “turbulent R&B noir, spiked with psychedelic flourishes… Spectral hip-hop coated in crusty mellotron.” Read the write up here: http://rol.st/1QSlzhU. The album’s first single, “Outta My Mind,” also has received excellent reviews, with New York magazine’s Vulture praising its “raw, bare-bones appeal” and Spinnoting its “barrage of deliciously reverbed, strung-out riffs.” The Huffington Post premiered the track’s official music video, calling it, “a dreamy gift of garage blues wrapped in fuzzy, soulful guitar.” Watch the video here:https://youtu.be/k84Fpso2cBY.

High Waisted Announces Debut LP, Bring "Party in the Back" to NYLON
High Waisted Invites You to “Party in the Back”
On Ludlow LP out 3/4
Watch + Share HERE
“Dye sings with an easiness that disguises how technically demanding the parts are. Translation: girl can sing, and she does." - BrooklynVegan
“Dye, is a perfect front-woman with a great and powerful voice.” - Pancakes and Whiskey
“Rock that makes you want to both chill and get up to dance and freak out. Rough in a charming way. It channels old surf pop and garage rock.” - Alt Citizen
High Waisted brings unstoppable energy with their first video installment, “Party in the Back” to NYLON. The statement, “sex, drugs, and rock‘n’roll” undeniably applies to this video in every way possible, and continues into their first LP On Ludlow, out on March 4th.
“It’s a typical night out for my bandmates and I in the Lower East Side of Manhattan. The theme for our debut album and this video, stay true to the sentiment that, 'good girls are bad girls who don't get caught'. I've been lucky to surround myself with talented, inspirational, and beautiful women. This video celebrates the right we girls have to dance, scream, skin our knees, hold hands, and most importantly, to feel sexy.”
– Jessica Louise Dye, High Waisted
Formed in the spring of 2014, High Waisted is an NYC surf rock band with pop sensibilities and an affliction for rock and roll. Every show is a party. Lo-fi fuzzy bass, reverb drenched guitars and radiant harmonies mesh to create the melodies of your wave-crashed daydreams. Fronted by Jessica Louise Dye, and backed by three long haired hunks, her quirky 60's garage rock aesthetic is re-imagined from the nose of a surfboard, making High Waisted feel like a summer's dream. Named NME Magazine’s “buzz band to watch,” the group recently released Acid Tapes Vol. 2. Their debut album, On Ludlow was recorded at Dreamland Recording Studios in Woodstock, NY with renowned producer Bryan Pugh, will release March 4th, 2016. High Waisted is known for throwing their own DIY concerts on boats, tiki style pig roasts, and acid trip pizza parties.

Metric releases Spotify Session today, U.S. headline tour starts Feb 12
METRIC RELEASE SPOTIFY SESSION TODAY VIP BACKSTAGE EXPERIENCE NOW
AVAILABLE FOR ALL TOUR DATES ADD SECOND SHOW AT
SAN DIEGO’S HOUSE OF BLUES
Photo Credit: Alysse GafkjenMetric’s Spotify Session is now available featuring acoustic versions of “The Governess,” “Lie Lie Lie” and “Cascades” from their new album Pagans In Vegas, plus the track “Breathing Underwater.” Listen HERE. The band announces a second date in San Diego on February 24 at House of Blues, following the sell out of the first show on February 25. Pre-sale begins at ilovemetric.com/tour on January 26, with public on-sale to follow on January 29. Their 24-city U.S. headline tour kicks offFebruary 12 with a sold-out show in Chicago. As well, fans can now upgrade their tickets to include a backstage VIP experience with the band, who will chat with fans and lead an intimate acoustic sing-along before the show. Upgrades are available for purchase HERE. Pagans in Vegas is Metric’s newest album, born out of a year spent writing—guitarist/producerJimmy Shaw at his studio in Toronto delving into his wall of modular synthesizers and Emily Haines with acoustic instruments in Nicaragua and Spain. The new album is packed with reverent references to artists who’ve inspired them, from Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cure and Underworld, all the way back to Kraftwerk. “The songs that made it onto Pagans in Vegas weren’t written with an overarching concept in mind,” says Shaw. “With this record we were making music for the joy of it…we tried to be as bold as possible. All we want is to feel like all we got didn’t cost us everything, even if we never win.” Metric—Haines, Shaw, Joules Scott Key and Joshua Winstead—self-released their last two albums on five continents and have gone on to sell millions of records worldwide. In 2009 Metric became the first band in history to have their first ever Top 20 hit at U.S. commercial radio without the backing of a traditional label. Their most recent releases earned multiple Juno Awards including two for Album of the Year, one for Artist of the Year and Producer of the Year for Shaw, who has co-produced the band’s last two albums with Grammy nominated John O’Mahony (Coldplay, Sarah Bareilles).Metric’s music is featured in a number of top TV shows including: “Grey’s Anatomy,” “CSI,” “True Blood,” “Vampire Diaries,” “House” and “Girls.” They also wrote the theme song/score music for several Hollywood films including Edgar Wright’s Scott Pilgrim vs The World, David Cronenberg’sCosmopolis and The Twilight Saga: Eclipse. Their work with acclaimed composer Howard Shore on The Twilight Saga was nominated for both a Grammy Award and an Academy Award. Metric also won a Canadian Screen Award (with Howard Shore) in 2013 for Cosmopolis.

Photo Credit: Alysse GafkjenMetric’s Spotify Session is now available featuring acoustic versions of “The Governess,” “Lie Lie Lie” and “Cascades” from their new album Pagans In Vegas, plus the track “Breathing Underwater.” Listen HERE. The band announces a second date in San Diego on February 24 at House of Blues, following the sell out of the first show on February 25. Pre-sale begins at ilovemetric.com/tour on January 26, with public on-sale to follow on January 29. Their 24-city U.S. headline tour kicks offFebruary 12 with a sold-out show in Chicago. As well, fans can now upgrade their tickets to include a backstage VIP experience with the band, who will chat with fans and lead an intimate acoustic sing-along before the show. Upgrades are available for purchase HERE. Pagans in Vegas is Metric’s newest album, born out of a year spent writing—guitarist/producerJimmy Shaw at his studio in Toronto delving into his wall of modular synthesizers and Emily Haines with acoustic instruments in Nicaragua and Spain. The new album is packed with reverent references to artists who’ve inspired them, from Depeche Mode, New Order, The Cure and Underworld, all the way back to Kraftwerk. “The songs that made it onto Pagans in Vegas weren’t written with an overarching concept in mind,” says Shaw. “With this record we were making music for the joy of it…we tried to be as bold as possible. All we want is to feel like all we got didn’t cost us everything, even if we never win.” Metric—Haines, Shaw, Joules Scott Key and Joshua Winstead—self-released their last two albums on five continents and have gone on to sell millions of records worldwide.

Steve Earle announces third annual Camp Copperhead June 27 - July 1
STEVE EARLE ANNOUNCES THIRD ANNUAL CAMP COPPERHEAD JUNE 27-JULY 1AT FULL MOON RESORT BIG INDIAN, NY
PACKAGES ON-SALE NOW VIA WWW.CAMP-COPPERHEAD.COMFEATURING SHAWN COLVIN
(New York, NY) STEVE EARLE has announced the details for 2016's Camp Copperhead June-27-July 1 at Full Moon Resort Big Indian, NY. Packages can now be purchased at the event's official site: WWW.CAMP-COPPERHEAD.COM.
The third annual Camp Copperhead welcomes singers, guitarists, songwriters, and poets into an immersive four-day musical experience. It's a chance to hear the legendary Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter speak on his classic songs, choices, and techniques during intimate workshops. Master classes will be available for songwriting, poetry, and guitar playing taught by guest instructors including SHAWN COLVIN. The evenings will feature an open mic, and the final night will close with a concert by Steve.
"This is going to be a good time," says Earle. "We're going to be living together, eating together, learning together and enjoying music together for four days. I'll be using my songs as the template because I know those the best, of course! You'll also have an opportunity to work with an incredible group of instructors, including my longtime friend Shawn. She's a real live folksinger/songwriter, one of the best that I know. Plays great, sings her ass off and writes songs that will be around after we are all gone.""Steve's Camp Copperhead promises to be a truly unique experience," says Colvin. "Steve and I are committed teachers, and there are bound to be a lot of laughs, too. Plus, The Full Moon Resort is the perfect place to enjoy all of it!"
"The buildings on Full Moon Resort's picturesque property, like any good folk song, have rich history," saidAmerican Songwriter in their profile on Camp Copperhead. "Many date back multiple decades to when New York's Catskill Mountains were a bustling tourist mecca that attracted the urban masses from New York City, fed up with life in the concrete jungle. The area's massive tourism industry largely died down long ago, but the quaint beauty of the area remains. It's a quality that Camp Copperhead shares, as a typical schedule consists of three square meals, lectures on everything from iambic pentameter to musical history, and nights of performances from either Earle or the students in a round robin setting, each complete with insight and advice from Earle himself. What's taught is catered to what the campers want; one particular afternoon, an improvised poetry workshop sprang up. It truly is a band camp, right down to the cozy accommodations, but it's one that has a grown-up, folk quality."
