JEFF The Brotherhood |
Nashville rockers JEFF The Brotherhood have added a fresh round of tour dates in June. The duo of Jake and Jamin Orrall will spend the latter half of May opening up for Best Coast. After that, they’ll strike out on their own starting June 13 in Raleigh, North Carolina and finish up on June 25 in Indianapolis, Indiana. In between, they’ll play Richmond, DC, Philadelphia, Cambridge and more.
On Record Store Day, the guys will release Upstairs at United Vol. 3. This release is a three-song EP of Jeff The Brotherhood as a five-piece band (recorded live to tape) performing “Master Of The Universe” by Hawkwind (from the album of the same name), a brain-melting new track called “In Space, Nobody Can Hear You Scream” plus a reprised “cover” of “I’m A Freak.”

SHOWS IN LATE MAY, EARLY JUNE. ALBUM OUT MAY 22
 Debut Album |
Billy Martin and Wil Blades wanna make you Shimmy. The organ/drums duo waste no time getting right down to it on their debut album due May 22 from The Royal Potato Family in collaboraton with Martin’s own Amulet Records. Martin and Blades go old school in the tradition of essential organ-groove sides by the likes of Charles Earland, Brother Jack McDuff and Groove Holmes. Martin, the drummer for the legendary Medeski, Martin & Wood, and Blades, a much buzzed about young organist from the San Francisco live music scene, first came together for a low-key, one-off late night set during the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival in 2011. The music that evening was so deep in the pocket that the pair knew instantly there would be more shows together in their future. A West Coast tour was arranged for later in the year, which played to packed houses from Washington to California. In the middle of the run, Martin and Blades ducked into a Berkeley recording studio to capture what would become Shimmy.
“We had about seven hours to record as much music as we could and hoped to get a full record out of it,” explains Martin. “We were burning the candle bright, touring down the coast from Seattle. By the time we hit the studio we had about five gigs behind us and were well warmed up with the material we were developing.”

“It never crossed my mind to start a duo with another organist because I had just celebrated 20 years with my good friend and partner John Medeski. The last thing I wanted to do was make a commitment to another keyboardist,” says Martin. “But after that gig in New Orleans, I knew it was in the stars for Wil and I to collaborate. You never know what’s around the corner. With all the changes this planet has been through, you have to follow the signs when it all comes together like that.”
Billy Martin and Wil Blades will tour the West Coast in May to support Shimmy. East Coast and Midwest tour dates will be announced shortly.

Dead Can Dance |
Dead Can Dance announced today they will be bringing their world tour to 15 cities throughout North America this summer, which includes two nights at the Beacon Theatre in New York City – August 29 and August 30. These will be the first live shows since their hugely successful sold out tour in 2005. Tickets go on sale to the public Friday, March 30 at 9AM via Ticketmaster.
Dead Can Dance will be releasing a new studio album to accompany the tour, which will be their first since Spiritchaser in 1996.
“Myself and Lisa (Gerrard) are genuinely excited to be working together again in the studio, said Brendan Perry. “Writing began for the new album in the Autumn of 2011 and the final recording sessions will take place at Quivvy Studios in Ireland in the early part of this year. It will be a spring album to coincide with both natures reawakening and the group’s subsequent rebirth.”
In addition to New York City, the 15 cities on their North American itinerary are: Vancouver, Seattle, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Salta Lake City, Denver, Chicago, Toronto, Montreal, Philadelphia, Washington DC, Nashville, Atlanta and Austin.
