FANFARLO PREMIERE VIDEO, CATHY CONTINUES TO BE MY HERO
Many moons ago, Fanfarlo lent their musical genius to the second installment of the acting train wreck that is The Twilight Saga. Today, we get a nice little video for “Atlas” that was filmed backstage at a Sydney gig last year.
The band are currently writing their second album set to be released this year. May we be so lucky!
JOHNNY FLYNN! TONIGHT! CHICAGO!
I don’t mean for this to sound like a threat, but if you know what’s good for you then you’ll probably head down to Mayne Stage tonight to catch Johnny Flynn. Why? Because it’s going to be amazing. TRUST ME.
Word on the street is that he’ll be performing a solo set, all in support of his latest album Been Listening, officially released in the US last month via Thirty Tigers.
Though this won’t be my first time seeing Flynn live, it will mark my first visit to Mayne Stage. This relatively new Rogers Park venue has undergone quite a few changes over its lifetime, probably why I was oblivious to its existence even though I lived five minutes away for almost four years. Expect a review of the show in the following days!
If you had planned to see him back in October, hopefully you can still make it out to this rescheduled date! Tickets: $15. Doors: 7pm, show starts at 8pm. Owen supporting.
Let’s take a moment to relive the magic of two years ago, shall we?
REGINA SPEKTOR ‘LIVE IN LONDON’ DVD SCREENINGS
On November 22nd, Regina Spektor is set to release her first ever concert film and recording, Live in London, on CD, DVD, Blu-ray, vinyl, and digital formats. Though filmed primarily at London’s Hammersmith Apollo Theatre, the film will include concert footage spanning Spektor’s 2009 winter UK tour in support of Far.
Live in London is dedicated to Daniel Cho, Regina’s cellist who passed away while on tour this summer. For a glimpse of the DVD, check out ‘Folding Chair’ below!!
The live band really did at that extra oomph to her songs, didn’t they? So good! Anyway, you can take a gander at the 23-song tracklisting and pre-order this bad boy (including limited edition bundles!!) over on Regina’s official webstore.
As a special bonus treat, there will be screenings of the film in select cities November 19th through November 25th!! Chicagoans, you can head over to Lincoln Hall at 9pm on November 22nd for a free viewing! For screenings in other towns, check out CINEMA PURGATORIO.
MYSTERY JETS CARE ABOUT THE CHILDREN
Yesterday, I ever-so-subtlety mentioned that Mystery Jets will be returning to Chicago in January as part of the Tomorrow Never Knows music festival. But before we get to enjoy the sights and sounds of Serotonin, the band will play a special gig on November 16th benefiting the Variety Club Children’s Charity, an organization that has been helping sick, disabled and disadvantaged children and young people for more than sixty years.
The show will take place at London’s Blues Kitchen and will feature an acoustic (!!) set from Mystery Jets with support from Rodeo Massacre. The Maccabees’ Orlando Weeks and Hits Don’t Hurt will also be on site spinning some tunes.
SOUNDS LIKE AN AMAZING TIME, RIGHT?! Well, loads of people thought so too and the show is already sold out. But don’t be too sad, it’s sold out FOR A GREAT CAUSE!
In the meantime, you can catch Mystery Jets as they finish up their current tour around the UK:
