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.

FIRST NEW STUDIO ALBUM IN FOUR YEARS
WITH NEW BAND THE GRAND THEFT ORCHESTRA
Amanda Palmer |
Singer, songwriter, piano-slayer and blogger Amanda Palmer is preparing to release her first new studio album in four years this September, in conjunction with her new band, The Grand Theft Orchestra, featuring Michael McQuilken, Chad Raines and Jherek Bischoff.
The album, recently recorded in Melbourne with producer John Congleton (St. Vincent, Murder By Death, Modest Mouse, Xiu Xiu), will also include a visual art exhibit featuring 30 visual artists who have created work inspired by the album. Click here for information about those dates.
In addition to the touring art exhibit, Amanda and her band will debut her new songs in a series of very small live gigs this summer as the band prepares to hit the road full-time in the fall. Tickets for these shows go on sale May 11.
The undisputed queen of fan engagement is turning to her fans for help, launching a new Kickstarter campaign that will enable her to execute the ambitious global release at levels rarely seen by independent artists. Click here for more information.
