    THE BRILLIANT MISTAKES [email protected] • 917.821.6262 THE BRILLIANT MISTAKES’ “DISTANT DRUMMING” SET FOR RELEASE OCTOBER 7 The Brilliant Mistakes—the New York City based band lauded for “restlessy catchy hooks, a clever turn of phrase and frothy, piano-driven pop with heart, soul and smarts” (The Boston Globe) are ready to unveil Distant Drumming, their new album set for release on October 7 on the band’s own Aunt Mimi’s Records. The album was produced by bassist Lincoln Schleifer (Levon Helm, Buddy Miller) and recorded at Lincoln’s Log Cabin in The Bronx, features guest musicians Mike Viola (The Candy Butchers, Walk Hard), Larry Campbell (Bob Dylan, Paul Simon) and Marc Shulman (Suzanne Vega) and was mastered by Fred Kevorkian (Ryan Adams, The White Stripes) in Hell’s Kitchen in Manhattan. Songwriter-bassist Erik Philbrook describes Distant Drumming as an album that musically and lyrically is about “finding and following the rhythms of your own life.” To that end the band sought to create a more organic album and delved deeper in the studio, experimenting with dynamics, arrangements, atmosphere, instrumentation and grooves to create music not only rich in meaning and emotion, but one that mixes blasts of majestic rock with meditative and moody acoustic pop and folk. The result is a ruthlessly thrilling album by a band that has long flown beneath the radar of the mainstream but are kindred spirits with such contemporaryAmericana envelope- pushers as Wilco, My Morning Jacket and Spoon. Distant Drumming benefits from the evolution of the band’s two songwriters—Alan Walker and Erik Philbrook— into separate but equally provocative lyricists.

  • The Roots Report: an Interview with Dennis Diken
    The Roots Report: An Interview with Dennis Diken In December of last year, Pat DiNizio, lead singer, guitarist and songwriter of the band The Smithereens, died at the age of 62. The Smithereens have had hits with songs such as, “Blood and Roses,” “Only a Memory” and “A Girl Like You.” DiNizio’s untimely passing was not only an emotional blow to the band, but it put their future in jeopardy. In January of this year they turned an already scheduled show into a tribute to DiNizio. At that concert several guest vocalists/musicians joined the band and among them was Marshall Crenshaw. He is known for his hits, “Someday, Someway” and “Whenever You’re On My Mind.” Besides those songs and others he played the role of Buddy Holly in the film LaBamba and began his career as John Lennon in Beatlemania. Crenshaw will be filling the vacant vocalist spot along with the surviving members of the Smithereens: Dennis Diken, Jim Babjak, and Mike Masaros when they come to the Greenwich Odeum on Saturday, November 17. I spoke with drummer, Dennis Diken about what has been going on with the band. Dennis Diken (Smithereens): Hey, John, it’s Dennis Diken from the Smithereens John Fuzek (Motif): Hi, how are you? Thanks for calling! DD: I am good, how are you doing, man? JF: I am good, so you are playing a show at the Greenwich Odeum next week, it’s a nice venue, have you ever played there? DD: It does not ring a bell but it’s been a long time we’ve been touring, it’s possible but I don’t think so JF: Maybe you played the Narrows last time that you were in town? I am not sure, I just know that I have missed your show every time you play! DD: I don’t think we have been to RI in a while.

  • Deer Tick Talks Negativity,Ask the Artist
    CD Review: Torn Shorts’ Through the Mill Josh Grabert tears through competition It looks like the good folks with the WBRU Rock Hunt got it right again this year. They usually do (not counting 1993 when a band intimately related to the author of this article lost out to Angry Salad…but I digress). And as with acts like The Schemers in 1982, and Sasquatch & The Sick-A-Billys in 2005, Providence’s own Torn Shorts has taken top honors in 2013’s edition of the prestigious competition. Technically, Torn Shorts is the collective name for the creative efforts of the multitalented musician/songwriter Josh Grabert. Though Grabert has gained a great deal of notoriety performing live shows throughout New England as a one-man-band under the Torn Shorts banner, Grabert has enlisted the help of Zach Zarcone on bass, Nick Molak on guitar and drummer Brendan Tompkins to record Through The Mill. With the album’s opening track “Brow St,” Grabert demonstrates an ability to engage the listener with radio-friendly, hook-laden rock & roll. Delivered with a voice reminiscent of Albert Hammond combined with a bit of a “New Morning”era Bob Dylan, he establishes himself as a virile songwriter. This fact is underscored all the more by his creative use of space within the verses, an underused yet potent technique, not only with writers, but soloists as well. “’Drink that scotch’ she says before the bad news – that’s why I keep crying The Nice Guy Blues – I was never ready for the big show – the older I get the less I grow.” “Dying Houses” is a dark requiem for urban decay and those who endure the daily fight for survival.

  • Levitt Pavilion Steelstacks Enters Fifth Year with a 'Smarter' Season - the Morning Call
    5/26/2015 Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks enters fifth year with a 'smarter' season - The Morning Call Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks enters fifth year with a 'smarter' season By John J. Moser Of The Morning Call MAY 21, 2015, 11:49 PM hen ArtsQuest's south Bethlehem SteelStacks campus opened in 2011 with the ArtsQuest Center and W outdoor Levitt Pavilion venue, everyone had ideas for music and entertainment. "The ideas weren't co-joined in the first year or two," says ArtsQuest Vice President of Programming Patrick Brogan. "We were just saying, 'We want to do this, we want to do that, we want to do this.'" Four years of experience and audience feedback has resulted in a much smarter approach to programming, says Brogan. ArtsQuest knows what audiences want and has learned how to connect the entertainment at its venues. That's clear in the lineup for the fifth season of Levitt, which formally kicks off at 7:30 p.m. May 22 with a concert by 1960s beach music and surf-rock duo The Rip Chords. It's the first in a series of 52 free concerts Thursdays through Saturdays through mid-September at the amphitheater at the base of the former Bethlehem Steel blast furnaces. Levitt Pavilion SteelStacks is one of seven pavilions built through the national Levitt Foundation, the creators of the largest free concert series in America, to encourage social interaction and create opportunities for all to enjoy the performing arts. Audiences have told Levitt organizers they like iconic legacy acts, so The Rip Chords will be followed by The Crystals on June 27, The Brooklyn Bridge on July 10 and The Platters on July 30.
