ANTIBALAS TO RELEASE 1ST ALBUM IN 5 YEARS ON DAPTONE AUG 7
Antibalas |
Born in a Brooklyn warehouse in 1997, 12-piece ensemble Antibalas is credited with introducing Afrobeat to a wider global audience, influencing countless musicians and developing a live show that is the stuff of legend. The group has performed everywhere from Central Park to Carnegie Hall to Rikers Island Prison, and that’s just in New York. On the heels of the hit musical FELA!, which several members collaborated on, Antibalas has reunited with former member and producer Gabe Roth, who was at the helm for their first three albums. Daptone Records is set to release the band’s first album in five years, self-titled, on August 7.
Inspired by economic meltdowns and global uprisings, Antibalas piled into two rooms at Daptone’s House of Soul Studios in Bushwick, Brooklyn to cut an explosive new set of afrobeat classics. “Dirty Money” launches the propulsive six-song LP with deep, pulsating rhythms, monstrous horns and tight funk. Lead singer Amayo – a native of Lagos, Nigeria and senior Kung Fu master – guides the band through cathartic workouts of call and response, dynamic instrumentals and eruptive solos.
Members of Antibalas served as musical directors and the house band in the Broadway hit FELA! and penned original music for the show. Members have also recently collaborated/performed with Iron & Wine, Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings, Mark Ronson, TV on the Radio and The Roots.
An international tour will be announced shortly. Click here to listen to the track “Sare Kon Kon” off the forthcoming record.

THE ALLMAN BROTHERS BAND
CONFIRM SUMMER TOUR PLANS
INCLUDING SIX CO-HEADLINING DATES WITH SANTANA
The Allman Brothers Band |
The Allman Brothers Band continue to celebrate the “Year Of The Peach” with more live shows just announced. The band has confirmed six co-headlining dates with Santana (see all dates below) as well as one-off festival dates, their own Peach Festival in Scranton, PA and dates with moe. and Lynyrd Skynyrd.
The band–Gregg Allman (vocals and keyboards), Butch Trucks (drums and tympani), Jaimoe (drums), Warren Haynes (vocals, lead and slide guitar), Derek Trucks (slide and lead guitar), Oteil Burbridge (bass) and Marc Quinones (congas and percussion)–are particularly excited about the dates with Santana, with whom they’ve only performed at various festivals. “We’ve all wanted to do this for a very long time, says Gregg. “It”s been a long time coming and the whole band is looking forward to what’s gonna happen on stage together.” Tickets for these shows go on sale later this week (see below).
In other news, the group has announced another gem from their archival series of releases: Live From American University (12/30/1970). Out of print for several years since it was first released, the album was recorded just three months before their Live at Fillmore East album. The American University album (out May 8 via Peach Records/Entertainment One Music) features the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame bands original lineup: Gregg Allman (vocals and keyboards), Duane Allman (slide and lead guitar), Butch Trucks (drums and tympani), Jaimoe (drums), Dickey Betts (slide and lead guitar) and Berry Oakley (bass).
