OPETH’S MIKAEL KERFELDT + PORCUPINE TREE’S
STEVEN WILSON TEAM UP FOR STORM CORROSION
Storm Corrosion |
Roadrunner Records is pleased to announce the signing of Storm Corrosion.
Storm Corrosion is the long-discussed and highly anticipated collaboration between two of the modern progressive rock scene’s most innovative and multi-talented artists: Mikael kerfeldt of Opeth and Porcupine Tree‘s Steven Wilson. The pair will release Storm Corrosion on April 24 via Roadrunner Records.
A little background information on the genesis of this project: kerfeldt and Wilson have been friends since the late ’90s, when Wilson co-produced Opeth’s revered Blackwater Park album. Over the years, they’d often spoken of working on a project together, but it wasn’t until recently that they managed to make something happen, when Mikael flew over to visit Steven in the U.K. and they ended up in Wilson’s home studio throwing ideas around. That visit was the nascence of a whole self-titled album, written and produced by the pair, and mixed by Wilson.
The sound of Storm Corrosion can best be described as enchanting, orchestral, ambient, epic (half the album’s tracks clock in around the 10-minute mark) and nothing short of surprising to the new ear. However, the musicians’ respective fanbases will be primed to appreciate the new output, with Wilson’s recent solo album, Grace for Drowning, and Opeth’s Heritage having brought them to a logical place to understand Storm Corrosion. This eponymous collection is almost viewed as one side of a musical triangle.

FIRST TOUR WITH FULL ORIGINAL LINEUP IN TWO DECADES
Happy Mondays |
The full, original lineup of Madchester icons Happy Mondays have announced they will reunite for the first time in over 19 years and set out on an 11 date UK tour in May, including a homecoming show at Manchester Arena.
The reunion came about when original members Bez, Gary Whelan, Mark Day, Paul Davies, Paul Ryder, Rowetta and Shaun Ryder came together to discuss the idea.
Says Ryder: “We all met up last week and some of the lads haven’t seen each other in over 10, 15 years. It’s as if we’ve never been apart so good to all be in the same room again. We can’t wait now to get on tour and play the songs that made us famous.’
Happy Mondays were first discovered by the legendary Tony Wilson in the infamous Hacienda club and have become synonymous with the Manchester music scene.
Happy Mondays will be joined by special guests the newly reformed Inspiral Carpets.
Check out all the tour dates below. Tickets are on sale now.

FUNDRAISING CONCERT FOR
UC BERKELEY JAZZ AND IMPROVISED MUSIC FUND
Art Lande |
The Department of Music at the University of California, Berkeley presents a special fundraising concert for the Jazz and Improvised Music Fund (JIM) on Saturday, April 10, 8:00pm at Hertz Hall, Berkeley, CA. Famed improvisers Art Lande (Pianist/Drummer) and Paul McCandless (Saxophonist/Multi-Instrumentalist) will perform a program of original compositions and free improvisations, and UC Berkeley professor and pianist Myra Melford will direct the Berkeley Nu Jazz Collective debuting student arrangements and compositions. There will be a preconcert Q & A with Lande and McCandless, for ticket holders, from 7:15 7:45pm.
Tickets are $15 general admission; $10 students, seniors, and groups of 10+; $5 UC Berkeley students. Tickets may be purchased at Hertz Hall one hour prior to performance (7:00pm) or in advance by calling (510) 642-9988 or visiting http://tickets.berkeley.edu.
The JIM Fund, under the direction of Melford and UC Berkeley faculty member and trumpeter Christy Dana, was created by and for UC Berkeley music students. Its primary purpose is to raise money and support for studies in jazz and contemporary improvised music, especially in light of recent budget cuts. The JIM Fund strives to provide new instruments and audio equipment, to increase the number of master classes and coaching sessions with world-class musicians, along with establishing an endowment. JIM allows students to study, perform and collaborate on a variety of approaches to improvised music by creating a thriving community of musicians.
Since its founding in 2009, JIM has created the Berkeley Nu Jazz Collective, produced an innovative collaboration between improvisers in food and in music, presented a master class with the progressive Jazz supergroup Kneebody, and held concerts with world-class musicians Denny Zeitlin, Taylor Eigsti, Matt Wilson, and Mark Dresser.
