Beach Slang Rocks the Met on May 12,Album of the Week: Gorillaz's Beach Slang Rocks The Met On May 12 Some bands have an objective of capturing the moment. They artistically infuse the thrills of live music into their sound and they become an energetic juggernaut. Carrying the punk flag high in the 2010s, Philadelphia’s Beach Slang are one of those bands. Lead by guitarist and vocalist James Alex, this act exudes excitement and amplification every time they perform. They’ll be bringing that sensation when they take the stage at The Met in Pawtucket on May 12 with Portsmouth, NH, rockers Alcoa, fellow New Hampshire natives Notches and Providence punks Twin Foxes. Ahead of the show I had a chat with Alex about his start in another punk band during the ‘90s, working with producer Dave Downham, his Newport roots and what the rest of the year has in store. Rob Duguay: Before Beach Slang, you were in the influential punk act Weston during the ’90s and their reunion shows during the 2000s. How vital do you consider being in that band when it comes to your musical development as a songwriter? James Alex: It’s gigantic. To say it straight, Dave [Weston] and Chuck [Saltern] taught me how to write songs. I mean, I suppose I knew how to smash words and chords together, but they taught me about the subtleties, the things that make songs feel like more. After that, everything has been a relentless exercise in sharpening stuff. RD: On both of Beach Slang’s full-lengths, The Things We Do to Find People Who Feel Like Us and A Loud Bash Of Teenage Feelings, the band has worked with producer Dave Downham. A lot of bands tend to shift around when it comes to working with producers on albums, so what makes the band want to stick with Dave? JA: There is something about making records with friends, you know? It strips away concern, allows for chance-taking and hands you the freedom to fuck up. Somewhere in all of that comes something that feels really right on. RD: Along with both albums, Beach Slang has a mixtape series called Here, I Made This For You. Both volumes feature songs by The Jesus & Mary Chain, The Modern Lovers, Ride and Dramarama among others. What’s the reasoning behind picking these specific songs? JA: I keep a working list of songs that I absurdly love. When the mixtape recordings come around, I flip through it, over and over, and see which five songs feel right together. There’s very little science to it. Most decisions I make are from the gut. My head just seems to get in the way. Honest feeling is so much more important than strategic thinking. RD: You have some roots in Newport. Do you have any friends that still live there? How long has it been since you’ve been in Rhode Island? JA: I still have a bunch of family there for sure. My friends have pretty much split or we just sort of lost each other. Sadly, it’s been about a year since I’ve been back and that was for a Beach Slang show in Providence. I need to find some time to really sink back in, to really dig into the vibe of being home. RD: What does the rest of the year have in store for Beach Slang? Can fans expect a new album? JA: 2017 is a full on-the-road year. We are currently on tour with Jimmy Eat World that ends on May 19. After that, Green Day invited us to play with them in London at Hyde Park and I still can’t believe I get to say that. We’ll then hang out in the United Kingdom and Europe for the first half of July playing shows and festivals. For the back half of the month, we’ll be back to the States for more festival stuff. August, for right now, is being held open for me to write the next record. Then in September, we tour around Made In America and Riot Fest and Jawbreaker is headlining the latter! After that, we are planning a six-week, full US tour and then, yeah, hopefully take a small rest and read some books.

Realistically, the brainchild of Blur frontman Damon Albarn and artist Jamie Hewlett have become one of the world’s most versatile acts since they entered the music realm when the hit “Clint Eastwood” got on the charts in March 2001. Their fifth album Humanz ventures into hip-hop, electronica and R&B. It shows a stellar amount of artistic variety through experimentation that makes for a fantastic record. On the theme behind the album, Albarn says via Gorillaz’s press release: “The album kind of came from this dark fantasy. Just imagine; the weirdest, most unpredictable thing that changes everything in the world.” He might be on to something with the wide array of collaborations that are featured within Humanz. Grace Jones, Danny Brown, De La Soul and Anthony Hamilton, among others, make their talents evident. This cavalcade of artists raises the unpredictability to a new level with each track bringing something different along with conveying sneaky elements. Artistic evolution knows no bounds and Gorillaz are an excellent example. They have the ability to go in numerous directions while achieving brilliance and not a lot of acts these days can do the same. It makes each album exciting because the senses don’t really know what to expect. There’s a musical voyage that this virtual foursome takes you on with all these twists and turns like a roller coaster. Let’s strap in, take the ride and press on the gas while examining my top tracks off of the Album Of The Week: Noisy and new wavey, “Charger” has a distorted electro bass that anchors the entire track. Grace Jones’ voice sends chills with bombastic authority. “Momentz” is weird and catchy with De La Soul bringing a plethora of rhymes to the fray. There are three different choruses within the song that makes for an entertaining listening experience. Keeping the weirdness going is “Carnival” that has Anthony Hamilton’s incredibly soulful voice absolutely slaying. Gorillaz will be embarking on a tour of North America starting at the Huntington Bank Pavilion at Northerly Island in Chicago on July 8. For us New Englanders, they’ll be taking the stage at the Blue Hills Bank Pavilion in Boston on July 12. Since they’re a virtual band, expect a lot of video screens and a bunch of visual art to be present. Until they come to your friendly neighborhood music venue and cause a ruckus, grab a copy of Humanz. Be prepared to be taken into musical territory that your senses rarely get to venture through.

Much like St. Patrick’s Day, most people view it as an excuse to get drunk on whatever alcohol they deem appropriate and make complete fools of themselves. It’s the pre-summer edition of amateur hour that ignores that the day commemorates an unlikely victory that the Mexican army had against the French at the Battle Of Puebla in 1862. Regardless of the history lesson, the day should serve as a celebration of culture and freedom. What’s a better way to celebrate than with a multi-cultural and multi-national band? Boston R&B funk pop dynamos Bad Rabbits will be taking the stage at The Met in Pawtucket on May 5 with synth pop act Communion and Providence party starters Jetty. Ahead of what should be a raucous time, I had a chat with drummer Sheel Davé about the band’s latest album American Nightmare, cherishing creative freedom, the current political landscape and staying the course. Rob Duguay: Bad Rabbits’ second full length LP, American Nightmare, that came out last year, is a lot more edgy with harder tones than the band’s previous releases. What’s the artistic vision behind the album? Sheel Davé: There wasn’t really a specific vision besides us just getting into a room together and just making noise. I think a lot of it was inspired by us kind of playing by the rules of everyone that was around us and our team along with labels, writers and producers. I think at one point we just lost the emotional connection to the music. Myself and Salim [Akram], the guitar player, essentially one day after dealing with writers, producers and doing the typical industry thing with “chasing hits” got fed up and we told ourselves that we were going to go back, invest some money in new recording equipment and bootstrap the whole recording process. We bought a bunch of recording equipment, set up a bunch of mics and instruments in my basement and we started making noise.

  • And Type the TITLE of YOUR WORK in All Caps
    A SPACE FOR CONNECTION: A PHENOMENOLOGICAL INQUIRY ON MUSIC LISTENING AS LEISURE by JOSEPH ALFRED PATE IV (Under the Direction of Corey W. Johnson) ABSTRACT This polyvocal text leveraged Post-Intentional Phenomenology (Vagle, 2010) to trouble, open up, and complexify understanding of the lived leisure experience (Parry & Johnson, 2006) of connection with and through music listening. Music listening was foregrounded as one horizon within the aural soundscape that affords deeply meaningful and significant experiences for many. Past scholarship within the Leisure Studies literature has primarily attended to the impact and relevancy of music in the lives of adolescents. This study focused on engagement with music of five adults, accessing phenomenology as both a philosophical and methodological lens to look along (Lewis, 1990) this lived-experience. Using multiple voices and styles of representation, this polyvocal work challenged traditional ways of knowing by inviting listening, music, and voice to serve as additional data embedded throughout its discursive representation. Accessing Bachelard‟s (1990) phenomenology of the resonation-reverberation doublet revealed five partial, fleeting, and tentative manifestations (Vagle, 2010) of this lived leisure experience, which included: Getting Lost: Felt Resonation and Embodiment; I‟m Open: Openness, Receptivity, and Enchantment; Serendipitous Moments; The Found Mirror: Oh There You Are; and Cairns and Echoes: The Lustering Potency of Song. Ultimately, music appeared to speak to so as to speak for participants, providing musical affirmation and sustenance throughout their lives.

Salame On Behalf of Nature As I began working on On Behalf of Nature, I asked myself the question: “how would one create an ecological art work that didn’t make more waste in the world?” Live performances leave no traces except, hopefully, in the minds of audience members. This ephemeral aspect is both poignant and exhilarating. Sometimes though, the desire for novelty and surface excitement leads to buying a lot of new things, spending a great deal of money for an experience that lasts only a few hours.
