Full band tour through December Just played on The Tonight Show Chad Stokes talks politics, activism and music with the Boston Herald “Many of the songs on Chad Stokes new album, “Chadwick Stokes & the Pintos,” came together before the last presidential election. That can be hard to believe considering the political tone of the record. A dreamy dub wash of a song, “What’s It Going To Take” cries out at the epidemic of gun violence. A tribute to 38 Dakota men killed in a mass execution in 1862, “Chaska” reminds us of our history of state-sanctioned genocide. “Love and War” speaks of the trauma service men and women carry through life; “Blanket on the Moon” examines America’s immigration policy. “Every song I write is about our relationship with each other,” Stokes said. “And that is politics. So while I am writing about stories that I read about or experience that hit home, these micro stories can be about the macro.” It’s heavy stuff. And the love songs on the album only provide short breaks from the intensity. “I did have a sense, as an album, it needed a couple short, raw, love songs that would invite people further in,” he said. Stokes began his career in Boston-based Dispatch in the mid ’90s. A trio of hippies who looked to Bob Marley, Joe Strummer and Woody Guthrie during the heyday of grunge and hip-hop, Dispatch laid the groundwork for Stoke’s aesthetic and activism (the band’s early reunion concerts raised thousands for charity and incorporated fan service projects). Through 20 years, Stokes has continually tried to be an ally to the oppressed (see the album’s feminist anthem “Joan of Arc”). Right now that means pairing the Pintos’ release with a campaign to combat sexual harassment and assault at music venues through Calling All Crows, a social activist organization founded by Stokes and his wife, Sybil. The 12th annual benefit for Calling All Crows will be Dec. 21 at House of Blues. Now a husband and father, Stokes has constraints on his time that didn’t exist in the Dispatch-takes-the-country-by-van days. But somehow he has become even more prolific.

  • Western Herald – SATURDAY: Jeremy Porter & the Tucos Bring
    Western Herald – SATURDAY: Jeremy Porter & the Tucos bring unique genre blend to Kalamazoo http://www.westernherald.com/arts-and-entertainment/saturday-jeremy-porter-the-tucos-bring-unique-genre-blend-to- kalamaz oo/ March 16, 2013 Craig Manning A&E Editor Growing up in Marquette, Mich., Jeremy Porter was probably one of those guys who spent as much time listening to the radio and spinning records on the turntable as he did hitting the books. At 16, he helped launch one of the Upper Peninsula’s first punk bands —called The Regulars—and instead of making curfew on Thursday nights, he spent them hanging out in ‘juice joints,’ cranking the amplifiers to capacity and, as his bio says, learning “what a rock bar smells like.” But while Porter’s educators probably frowned on that sort of behavior, clearly Porter is getting the last laugh. The singer/songwriter—who transplanted to the Detroit area back in the 80s—built a new trio called the Tucos in 2010, recruiting Jason Bowes (bass) and Gabriel Doman (drums) as his back-up. Almost three years later, the trio has supported nationally-recognized acts like Jesse Malin & the St. Mark’s Social and Whitey Morgan & The 78’s and brought their unique blend of 70s power pop, 80s punk rock and 90s alt-country to bars and clubs all over the midwest. On Saturday night, the Tucos will hit the stage at Louie’s Trophy House in Kalamazoo to support their excellent new full-length, Partner in Crime. Porter’s influences are rich and varied, all manifesting themselves at some point during Partner in Crime’s 46-minute runtime.

Traditionally, the purposefulness and relevance of a singer-songwriter were defined by something unique in their lyrical acumen, vocal skills and/or guitar or piano accompaniment. In the 1990s this paradigm was tested by the trend towards larger orchestrastion and towards electronic orchestration. In the 2000s it became harder and harder to give purpose and meaning to a body of work mostly relying on the message. Many singer-songwriters of the 2000s belonged to "Generation X" but sang and wrote for members of "Generation Y". Since "Generation Y" was inherently different from all the generations that had preceeded it, it was no surprise that the audience for these singer-songwriters declined. Since the members of "Generation X" were generally desperate to talk about themselves, it was not surprising that the number of such singer- songwriters increased. The net result was an odd disconnect between the musician and her or his target audience. The singer-songwriters of the 2000s generally sounded more "adult" because... they were.

September 2015 - 1989 released to equal measures of confusion and acclaim: "Ryan Adams transforms Taylor Swift's 1989 into a melancholy masterpiece... decidedly free of irony or shtick" (AV Club); "There's nothing ironic or tossed off about Adams' interpretations. By stripping all 13 tracks of their pony-stomp synths and high-gloss studio sheen, he reveals the bones of what are essentially timeless, genre-less songs... brings two divergent artists together in smart, unexpected ways, and somehow manages to reveal the best of both of them" (Entertainment Weekly); "Adams's version of '1989' is more earnest and, in its way, sincere and sentimental than the original" (The New Yorker); "the universality of great songwriting shines through" (Billboard).

  • Alt-Nation: Everything Is New
    Alt-Nation: Everything is New D Generation – Nothing Is Anywhere (Bastard Basement Records) D Generation return after 17-year hiatus since their last album, Through The Darkness, with Nothing Is Anywhere to serve up another gritty platter of rock ‘n’ roll from the bowels of Avenue A. On Thru The Darkness, D Generation dealt with the Rudy Giuliani-led Disney gentrification of New York City while the band was becoming in disarray, trapped in music business purgatory. Flash forward to 2016 where the hedge fund brigade has taken over New York City and rage is something one buys at Hot Topic. Nothing Is Anywhere kicks off with a nostalgia stomp-back reflecting back to a ’90s circus of freaks hanging out on a Tuesday night in “Queens of A.” The autobiographical anthem “Apocalypse Kids” channels hardcore sing-a-long swooping choruses in the most Cheap Trick way possible with all the “perfect imperfections” intact. Nothing Is Anywhere is no nostalgia go-cart as “20th Century Blues” has the swagger of a T-Rex chopping on The Hellacopters begging for change on the Bowery. “Militant” launches into a hardcore rage while defiantly ending with “you can’t touch my soul.” The infectious “Rich Kids” would be enough to make me actually heart radio if their DJs actually played it. “Piece of the Action” is an observation of the stark reality of looking out over the wealthy migrants who have come to New York looking for something that isn’t theirs. The reason why D Generation with their dirty Lower East Side Faces meets Dead Boys riffs and singer Jesse Malin’s clever turn of the lyrics matters is because Nothing Is Anywhere is raw and the real deal.

  • Is This Jazz?: an Interview with Leland Baker,Jazz Insights: David Wallis Reeves,Music in the Sky: Rooftop at Providence G Is Ho
    Rock ‘n’ Roll Villains: Ravi Shavi unleash Special Hazards On their third full-length release, Special Hazards, Ravi Shavi unleash a collection of 14 songs chock full of grooves, trashy surf and classic pop. Gems like “Going Going Gone” come off like a letter to an old flame with singer/guitarist Rafay Rashid asking, “How’s the city, how’s your mom, do you still have a car, have you taken your pills, have you smoken a joint?” The wistful chorus features backing vocals from Roz Raskin. One of the older songs in Ravi Shavi’s repertoire, “Is It True,” is a sunny burst of classic pop buttressed by backing vocals from Raskin as well as Kate Jones and Emily Shaw of The Sugar Honey Iced Tea. “High Hopes” has a Cramps-style guitar-from-the-gutter stomp with a guest appearance by Ian O’Neil of Deer Tick. O’Neil also appears on “Violence,” which has an early 2000s alternative rock flavor. “Absent Minded Fool” is a lament with the feel of a cool flamenco guitar gone wrong. The final track, “Casino,” is my favorite with its eerily seductive lyrics like, “Why don’t you take a gamble, I’ll be your casino,” floating like smoke through the air over a funky garage backbeat. Special Hazards is available now on Ravi Shavi’s Bandcamp page with physical copies on vinyl and CD coming later this year. I spoke with Rafay Rashid to discuss pandemic living, how he and guitarist Nick Politelli write, and the villainous undercurrent flowing through Special Hazards.

There would be no Nirvana, Beastie Boys or Red Hot Chili Peppers were it not for hardcore pioneers such as Black Flag, Bad Brains and Minor Threat. Hardcore was more than music—it was a social movement created by Reagan-era misfit kids. The participants constituted a tribe unto themselves—some finding a voice, others an escape in the hard-edged music. And while some sought a better world, others were just angry and wanted to raise hell. AMERICAN HARDCORE traces this lost subculture, from its early roots in 1980 to its extinction in 1986. Page 2 ABOUT THE PRODUCTION Paul Rachman and Steven Blush met through the hardcore punk rock scene in the early 1980s. Steven promoted shows in Washington, DC, and Paul directed the first music videos for bands like Bad Brains and Gang Green.

  • “Gypsy Punks”: the Performance of Real and Imagined Cultural Identities Within a Transnational Migrant Group
    Journal of Popular Music Studies, Volume 24, Issue 1, Pages 3–24 Russian Jews and “Gypsy Punks”: The Performance of Real and Imagined Cultural Identities within a Transnational Migrant Group Rebecca Jablonsky New York University Introduction This article will discuss the implications of the construction of cultural space among Russian Jews in New York City and the narratives employed to collectively produce and claim this space, particularly the repeated notion of being without a “home” or “place.” Analysis of these narratives will address the uniqueness of Russian Jewish identity and the historical factors that contributed to the isolation of Russian Jews in their homeland and in New York.Special attention will be paid to physical Russian Jewish spaces, considering these spaces as mediating agents in constructing cultural identity, as well the role of the music scene as it relates to cultural cohesion. This focus is drawn from communications scholar David Morley’s assertion that media technologies tend to “transport the individual or small family group to destinations (physical, symbolic or imaginary) well beyond the confines of home or neighborhood, combining privacy with mobility” (149). Considering Russian Jews as a highly mobile group that centers on the exclusion of others, inclusion manifests itself through the construction of, and participation in, spaces that represent their physical and imagined communities. Using historical and theoretical research, a literature review, ethnographic techniques, interviews, analyses of songs and media, and the presentation of personally recorded media, Russian Jewish identity and alienation will be used as a means of understanding the “gypsy punk” movement that has emerged in the popular New York City nightclub, Mehanata, also known as “The Bulgarian Bar.” The rising fame of the self- proclaimed gypsy punk band Gogol Bordello will be considered, along with the textual, audio, and visual media that presents this scene to participants.

  • August 13, 2019 Big Thief Announce New Album, Two Hands, Due
    August 13, 2019 For Immediate Release BIG THIEF ANNOUNCE NEW ALBUM, TWO HANDS, DUE ​ ​ OCTOBER 11TH VIA 4AD, AND PRESENT LEAD SINGLE, “NOT” CATCH THEM ON TOUR THIS FALL Two Hands Cover Artwork ​ Big Thief are pleased to announce their new album, Two Hands, due October 11th via ​ ​ ​ ​ 4AD, and present its lead single, “Not.” The band had only just finished work on their ​ ​ ​ 3rd album, U.F.O.F. -“the celestial twin”- days before in a cabin studio in the woods of ​ ​ ​ Washington State. Now it was time to birth U.F.O.F.’s sister album -“the earth twin”- ​ ​ Two Hands. 30 miles west of El Paso, surrounded by 3,000 acres of pecan orchards and ​ only a stone’s throw from the Mexican border, Big Thief (a.k.a. Adrianne Lenker, Buck ​ ​ ​ Meek, Max Oleartchik, and James Krivchenia) set up their instruments as close ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ together as possible to capture their most important collection of songs yet. Where U.F.O.F. layered mysterious sounds and effects for levitation, Two Hands grounds itself ​ ​ ​ on dried-out, cracked desert dirt. In sharp contrast to the wet environment of the U.F.O.F. session, the southwestern ​ ​ Sonic Ranch studio was chosen for its vast desert location. The 105-degree weather ​ boiled away any clinging memories of the green trees and wet air of the previous session. Two Hands had to be completely different— an album about the Earth and the ​ ​ bones beneath it. The songs were recorded live with almost no overdubs. All but two ​ ​ songs feature entirely live vocal takes, leaving Adrianne’s voice suspended above the mix in dry air, raw and vulnerable as ever.
