Alabama Shakes’ debutrelease of Boys & Girls marks the arrival of a major new rock-and-roll band. The album is available everywhere now on ATO Records.Recorded at The Bomb Shelter in Nashville, TN and produced and mixed by the band members, the album is a vibrant fusion of swampy, dirty Southern rock, blues and soul delivered with punk rock fervor. From the heartrending title song to such stomps as “Rise to the Sun,” the album demonstrates the sense of groove and space the band learned from their idols, along with a blistering force and emotion that simply can’t be learned. From Athens, AL, the band comprising vocalist/guitarist Brittany Howard, guitarist Heath Fogg, drummer Steve |

GZA SET TO PERFORM AT SXSW WITH GRUPO FANTASMO;
ANNOUNCES NEW ALBUM FOR BABYGRANDE RECORDS & LECTURE DATES
![]() |
GZA will be performing with Grammy-winning 8 piece Latin super band Grupo Fantasma on Saturday March 17 at the Haven Club. GZA will be headlining Babygrande Records’ showcase.
GZA’s next album, Dark Matter, (Babygrande), due in 2012, will discuss the universe and science fiction. It is informed by his longtime fascination with astronomy and quantum physics. In his own words:
“I’ve been interested in many branches of science for years. RZA and I constantly exchange books and ideas. I recently met with quantum physicists who deepened my interest in the cosmos and gave me further inspiration for this next album. I want to take my listeners on a journey through deep space and deconstruct the idea of science fiction. If you think about it, ‘science fiction’ is an oxymoron but it makes sense because a lot of what was once fiction is now science and a lot of science is fiction until proven beyond hypothesis. For instance, when I was a kid there was a book called “A Wrinkle In Time” and some physicists at Cornell, whom I’m going to meet when I lecture there in April, actually created a wrinkle in time. That’s incredible.”
GZA will return to MIT March 21 to lecture there in partnership with the Civic Media Lab. While there he will meet with more physicists. He will additionally be lecturing at USC, NYU and Cornell this spring.
