Consisting of Jeramy Gritter (aka Beardo), a highly skilled and flavored guitarist as well as the self-proclaimed "trailer park hero", Amir Yaghmai, virtuoso guitarist (grew up playing violin, then discovered metal), Alex Carapetis (aka Young Pirate) on drums - bringing a whole new level of rhythm to rock music. One of the founding members, Jeff Kite, a composer, on keyboards, alongside key spirit-guide, wordsmith and piano-king Jake Berkovici on bass and synths, the voice and wise, stabilizing anchor. And Julian Casablancas on vocals, as well as directing, curating and riding the lightning-wave put forth by this creative, talented, band of characters. A collaboration of mutual respect, founded on old friendships and musical kinship....

The album earned raves from the New York Times, SPIN, Billboard, and more, with Stereogum saying in an epic 10,000+ word review "a truly riotous album…it holds back nothing,” and Vulture stating “it feels like a new beginning,” adding that (VIRTUE) is “inarguably (Julian Casablancas’) best album since…pick your favorite early Strokes album.” The band also appeared on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, as well as The Late Late Show With James Corden.

  • Primaverapro 2015
    PRIMAVERAPRO 2015 NEW VENUE FOR DAYPRO CONFERENCE HOW TO FACE THE DIGITAL CROSSROADS CONFRONTING BANDS AND LABELS? IN WHAT DIRECTION IS LIVE MUSIC GOING? WHAT ROLE DO AUDIENCES PLAY NOWADAYS? AND WHAT IS THE ROLE OF THE MEDIA? These are some of the subjects that will be dealt with at PrimaveraPro 2015; Primavera Sound’s meeting for professionals that will celebrate its sixth edition from 27th to 31st May. An edition that comes with a necessary change of headquarters: this year the daytime activities will move to the MACBA (Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art), an expansion resulting from the enormous growth that the festival has undergone –in 2014 there were over 2600 accredited professionals– and that will strengthen its links with the historical centre of the city, by moving to an emblematic and culturally referen- tial site. STATISTICS The 2014 edition of the meeting for professionals Primavera Sound recorded a growth of 31% over the pre- vious year and exceeded the 2,600 accredited professionals, 51% of which were international, with strong presence of countries like Brazil, Japan, South Africa or New Zealand. In 2014 a total of 152 activities, invol- ving over 85 speakers were scheduled. PROFESSIONALS ACCREDITED AT PRIMAVERAPRO 2014 BY TYPE OF COMPANY PROFESSIONALS ACCREDITED AT PRIMAVERAPRO 2014 BY COUNTRY INTERNATIONAL CONGRESSES FOR THE FIRST TIME The major novelty of PrimaveraPro 2015 will be that the meeting this year will host the first edition of two international congresses that will become references for the music industry: CONCERT VENUES INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS 2015 A meeting of the main international concert venues organised with the ASACC (the association of Catalan concert venues) and with the collaboration of Live DMA (the European network of venues) and ACCES (spa- nish association of venues) who will debate crucial aspects such as the role of culture in cities.

  • The Strokes Finally Get Grammy Love
    ARAB TIMES, FRIDAY-SATURDAY, JANUARY 8-9, 2021 NEWS/FEATURES 13 People & Places Media 2020 hit publishing world ‘Books are resilient in year of upheaval’ By Hillel Italie ook publishing in 2020 was a story of how much Ban industry can change and how much it can, or wants to, remain the same. “A lot of what has happened this past year - if it were a novel, I would say that it had a little too much plot,” said Simon & Schuster CEO Jonathan Karp. Three narratives ran through the book world for much of the year: an industry pressed to acknowledge that the status quo was unacceptable, an industry of- fering comfort and enlightenment during traumatic times, and an industry ever more consolidated around the power of Penguin Random House and Amazon. com. To its benefi t and to its dismay, publishing was drawn into the events of the moment. The pandemic halted and threatened to wipe out a decade of growth for in- dependent bookstores, forced the postponement of countless new releases and led to count- less others being forgotten. The annual national conven- tion, BookExpo, was called off and may be gone permanently after show organizers Reed Ex- hibitions announced they were “retiring” it. Winfrey The industry had long re- garded itself as a facilitator of open expression and high ideals, but in 2020 debates over diversity and #MeToo highlighted blind spots about race and gender and challenged the reputations of everyone from poetry publishers to Oprah Win- frey, from book critics to the late editor of Ernest Hem- ingway.

  • Julian Casablancas+The Voidz Rocker Løs I VEGA
    2014-10-06 16:00 CEST Julian Casablancas+The Voidz rocker løs i VEGA VEGA og Live Nation præsenterer Julian Casablancas+The Voidz rocker løs i VEGA Tirsdag d. 16. december indtager Julian Casablancas+The Voidz Store VEGA med deres avantgarde-inspirerede rock fra deres nye album Tyranny. Avantgard-rock fra The Strokes-forsangeren Julian Casablancas Gennem de sidste fire år har The Strokes-forsangeren Julian Casablancas+The Voidz arbejdet på at finde et fælles udtryk. Samarbejdet resulterede i september i bandets første album, Tyranny, udgivet på Julian Casablancas pladeselskab, Cult Records. Herpå bliver sekstettens fælles kærlighed til beatdrevet, aggressiv avantgarde rockmusik understreget af moderne melodiharmonier, der gør udtrykket fængende og stærkt. Selv beskriver de sig som et punkband, der kan spille alle former for musik, og som lægger en stor portion stolthed i deres alsidighed. Cd, lp og lighter Bandet beskriver selv albummet som en blanding af jazz og punk med forbløffende melodiske passager. Sangen ”Human Sadness” blev offentliggjort som første single, og de 11 minutter kan opleves HER. De 12 sange udkom både på cd, lp, digitalt, som kassettebånd og som en lighter, hvor sangene var indlagt via et USB-stick. Udover Julian Casablancas består bandet af Jeramy "Beardo" Gritter (guitar), Amir Yaghmai (guitar), Jacob "Jake" Bercovici (bas, guitar og synthesizers), Alex Carapetis (trommer og percussion) og Jeff Kite (keyboard). De to sidstnævnte var også en del af Julian Casablancas første soloprojekt Sick Six’ livebands, hvor også den mellemste søster i Haim, Danielle Haim, har spillet guitar. Stilikon for kollegaer Sidst Julian Casablancas var i Danmark var det med hans solodebut Phrazes For The Young.
