Album of the Week: Spoon’S They Want My Soul,Top 10 Album of the Week: Spoon’s They Want My Soul The best success a band can have is through consistency. I’m not talking about playing the same style in each album you put out, but instead putting out quality music while not being afraid to push boundaries and try new things. Coming a long way from the lo-fi punkish alternative rock sound of their debut alum Telephono back in 1996, Spoon are back with their first album in four years with They Want My Soul. It might not be as commercial sounding as their chart topper Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga that came out in 2007 or as raw and risk-taking as their earlier material, but Spoon’s new album shows originality, proving that over time they haven’t strayed from their artistic identity. They call it rock & roll; I just think it’s a breath of fresh air in a year of highs and lows. Releasing their first album off of a new label after leaving a long-time relationship with Merge Records to join Loma Vista Recordings, Spoon is part of an eclectic brand that suits their style perfectly. A few tracks are straight-up rockers with forceful guitars riffs while others offer a mellow take with a heavy base of synth and keys. You can’t deny that front man Britt Daniel still brings his Sinatra beatnik soul, putting his heart into every track over the wonderful rhythms. There’s still that trademark groove that sets Spoon apart from a lot of other bands. You will be head bobbing and feet tapping; if you’re adventurous you might even feel the need to jump around like you’re on a pogo stick. People are already getting sad that summer is coming to a close and it’s not even the end of August. It’s time for a last-minute BBQ or final trip to the beach to bask in the sun. It’s also time for the top tracks off of my Album Of The Week. It’ll be a great guide to what tracks to jam out your car stereo or to just wake up the neighbors in the privacy of your own home. One thing is guaranteed: Your music taste will thank you for it. I’ve fallen in love with the first single off of They Want My Soul in “Rent I Pay.” The drum beats combine with the infectious guitar riffs to create a genuinely catchy tune that you can listen to over and over again. The bass licks really make “Rainy Taxi” special; when everything else kicks in you’ll be cutting the coolest rug on the block. A new wavy track in “Outlier” makes me think I’m at a New Order and Depeche Mode concert; this synth-groove number is definitely one for the ravers. Bluesy, soulful and a great departure from everything else on the album, on “I Just Don’t Understand” Britt’s acoustic guitar reels you in and the rest takes it over in the best way only Spoon can. Spoon officially release They Want My Soul on August 5, and you can get a special vinyl release at select record stores listed on the band’s website. If that isn’t cool enough, Spoon will be part of a stacked bill at the 2nd edition of the 2014 Boston Calling Music Festival going on during September 5 – 7 at Boston’s City Hall. Until then, grab yourself a copy of They Want My Soul and enjoy. Spoon’s website: spoontheband.com Top 10 Shows at the Newport Folk Fest Every July in Rhode Island, The City By The Sea becomes electric with some of the best musicians on the planet coming to play Fort Adams. The Newport Folk Festival has reemerged as one of the premier stops of the summer music festival season. Famous for being the site of Bob Dylan’s highly amplified rock ‘n’ roll performance back in 1965, the festival has also played host to blues legend Son House, Elvis Costello, Jackson Browne, My Morning Jacket and Beck. To give you a guide of what you can’t miss this time around, here are my 10 things you have to check out at this year’s Newport Folk Festival: 10.) All Newport’s Eve @ The Newport Blues Café The night before the official start of the festival on July 24, there will be a stacked bill at The Newport Blues Café on 286 Thames Street featuring everyone’s favorite new Nashville musician by way of Providence, Joe Fletcher and his band of Wrong Reasons, fellow Nashville resident J.P. Harris and his Tough Choices, Philadelphia folk phenom Langhorne Slim, fellow Philadelphians Toy Soldiers, Dead Confederate’s T. Hardy Morris, Dallas’ Andrew Combs, The Deslondes from New Orleans, Providence’s orchestral pop act Arc Iris and New England singer-songwriter Ian Fitzgerald. If you’re in the area this is surely a pre-festival party you don’t want to miss. 9.) The After Parties One part of The Newport Folk Festival that makes it so special are the shows buzzing around town after each day. On Friday, June 25 at Jimmy’s Saloon on 37 Memorial Boulevard Roz & The Rice Cakes, Torn Shorts, Pier Jump and Silverteeth will be bringing the fun while the following night at the Saloon Boston rock ‘n’ roll act Oldjack will be throwing their 2nd annual Newport Nights with fellow Bostonians Tigerman WOAH, The Rationales & Nate Leavitt with Providence blues-rockers The Silks joining in on the fray. At The Tavern On Broadway right in the heart of downtown Newport on Saturday, The Mighty Good Boys will be making you dance like you have ants in your pants for a night of jug band bluegrass you can’t miss. If that isn’t enough, Deer Tick will be playing all three nights at The Blues Café as part of their annual Folk Fest after parties. Each night is filled with amazing acts sharing the stage with Deer Tick and be prepared to expect the unexpected. 8.) Reignwolf (Friday 2:55 @ Quad Stage) You can talk about great up-and-coming acts, and then you have to talk about Seattle blues act Reignwolf. Lead by wildman Jordan Cook on guitar and vocals, Reignwolf promises to leave quite the impression by leaving it all on the stage. These guys are just coming off from doing a tour with Black Sabbath and Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell are singing their praises. They don’t have an album out yet, but you can check out a few tracks from Reignwolf on their website at reignwolf.com. 7.) J. Roddy Walston & The Business (Saturday 1:15 @ Harbor Stage) A rip roaring rock ‘n’ roll band out of Baltimore, J. Roddy Walston & The Business are definitely going to be the prime attraction to light up your Saturday afternoon by the sea. This quartet came out with one of the best albums of 2013 with Essential Tremors and I highly suggest picking up a copy at the merch table after you see them play. 6.) The Devil Makes Three (Friday 2:05 @ Fort Stage) It can be weird at times to see a band perform as a trio without having any drums, but The Devil Makes Three are so good they don’t need any. This folk act from Santa Cruz, Calif., has some local roots from performing with Joe Fletcher on numerous occasions and staging a benefit show for the late David Lamb of Brown Bird at Fete in Providence last year. I had the pleasure of seeing The Devil Makes Three play The Folk Fest back in 2011 and I’ve been a fan ever since. 5.) Jimmy Cliff (Friday 5:30 @ Quad Stage) The Newport Folk Fest always has its fair share of legends that perform and on Friday you’ll be able to experience one up close and personal with reggae icon Jimmy Cliff. Jimmy is the only living musician who holds the Jamaican Order Of Merit along with being famous for hits like “The Harder They Come” and “Many Rivers To Cross” as well as his covers of Cat Stevens’ “Wild World” and Johnny Nash’s “I Can See Clearly Now.” If you like to groove and you like to move, then Jimmy should be exactly what you’re looking for. 4.) Trampled By Turtles (Sunday 4:10 @ Quad Stage) Straight from Duluth, Minn., bluegrass act Trampled By Turtles have a great cult following in the folk community and seeing them play the Quad Stage on Sunday will be a fantastic way to highlight your Folk Fest finale. A week ago they put out their seventh studio album, Wild Animals, so they’ll likely perform a few live renditions off of it. Ideal for the folk enthusiast, Trampled By Turtles very well could be one of the top live bands to see throughout the entire festival. 3.) Conor Oberst (Sunday 3:20 @ Fort Stage) No stranger to playing Newport Folk, Bright Eyes’ Conor Oberst is sure to amaze with his heartfelt songs and intense demeanor on stage. The kid from Omaha, Neb., is a trailblazer in his own right and it seems that the more he plays the more his illustrious reputation grows. Like many of the acts performing this year, Conor has a new solo album out with Upside Down Mountain. His versatility is astounding; expect Conor to bust out a few new songs to mix in with a bunch of classics. 2.) Jeff Tweedy (Sunday 4:45 @ Fort Stage) Right after Conor Oberst plays on Sunday, stick around for something special when Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy heads up to the Fort Stage.

  • Phantogram Rocks Waterplace Park,Sage Francis Grasps Listeners
    The Songmill: Mary Ellen Casey’s Ordinary Day Little Rhody is a tiny state, but I am willing to bet we have more songwriters per capita than any other. Afloat this summer in our vast pool of dedicated and talented singer songwriters is Mary Ellen Casey. Mary Ellen is not new to songwriting. She has been writing and performing for years. Like many local songwriters trying to support themselves or supplement their income, she performs a hearty mix of her own compositions along with well-known songs by nationally known artists. Her latest and second commercially released CD of original music, Ordinary Day, showcases how beautiful and pleasant her original music really is. Similar to the rich vocal styling of Anne Murray, Mary Ellen’s strong, yet smooth voice is perfectly suited for, and carries well, the songs she has selected for this CD. On first listen, the songs appear to be light with very pop memorable and melodic refrains. Digging in deeper, though, you will hear much more. Between the soft lines of her lilting voice lies an undercurrent of deeper meaning – a soul searching for itself. The album, dedicated to her soul mate, leads with an up-tempo number “The Love of Her Life” – a quest for someone looking for, and finding, that special someone. Several cuts in this collection laud those who have stayed together through the thick and the thin of it all and come out shining. Probably the finest song on the album is, “You Love Me Anyway” – a passionate and honest reflection on the strengths, weaknesses and differences that hold a couple near and dear.

  • NICKELBACK Silver Side up (Rock)
    NICKELBACK Silver side up (Rock) Année de sortie : 2001 Nombre de pistes : 11 Durée : 39' Support : CD Provenance : Acheté Nous avons décidé de vous faire découvrir (ou re découvrir) les albums qui ont marqué une époque et qui nous paraissent importants pour comprendre l'évolution de notre style préféré. Nous traiterons de l'album en le réintégrant dans son contexte originel (anecdotes, etc.)... Une chronique qui se veut 100% "passionnée" et "nostalgique" et qui nous l'espérons, vous fera réagir par le biais des commentaires ! ...... Bon voyage ! Fondé au Canada en 1995, NICKELBACK est emmené par le guitariste chanteur Chad KROEGER, associé au guitariste Ryan PEAKE, au bassiste (et demi-frère de Chad) Mike KROEGER et au batteur Ryan VIKEDAL. Après des débuts difficiles, l’horizon du groupe s’éclaire quand il parvient l’année suivante à décrocher une signature sur Roadrunner, grâce auquel il enregistre un premier album Curb en 1996. Le disque connaît un succès modeste, mais la tournée canadienne destinée à promouvoir son successeur The State (1998) satisfait suffisamment le label pour qu’il décide de lancer le groupe sur le marché américain en 2000. La consécration intervient l’année suivante pour NICKELBACK avec Silver Side Up, et en particulier le single How You Remind Me, qui bénéficie d’une intense diffusion radiophonique. NICKELBACK est généralement classé parmi les formations Néo-Metal, mais préfère se revendiquer du courant Post Grunge. Il est vrai que le groupe présente des influences qui le portent vers la scène de Seattle. Il emprunte ainsi à celle-ci les guitares lourdement saturées, omniprésentes sur les titres de Silver Side Up.

  • Sulla Storia Della Nascita Dei Pearl Jam C'è Molto Di Più Di Quanto È
    Sulla storia della nascita dei Pearl Jam c’è molto di più di quanto è sempre stato raccontato. Per scoprirlo ho intervistato Eddie Vedder, Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament, Matt Cameron, Chris Cornell e altri attori chiave, ho ripescato manufatti originali del 1990 e ho dato la caccia a registrazioni rare, ho triangolato dati e messo insieme ogni fatto. Per celebrare il ventesimo compleanno dei Pearl Jam, sono orgogliosa di presentare il frutto di oltre 10 anni di minuziosa ricerca originale. Fate un bricco di caffè, accendete la stampante e preparatevi ad una lunga e avvincente lettura ricca di dettagli inediti sugli eventi del 1990, l’anno in cui una serie di magiche e selvagge coincidenze portarono all’unione di un improbabile gruppo di persone che diventarono i PEARL JAM. Jessica Letkemann, ottobre 2010 INVERNO Il nuovo decennio era iniziato in maniera radiosa per il ventitreenne Stone Gossard, il ventiseienne Jeff Ament e i loro compagni dei Mother Love Bone. Il primo album della band, Apple, stava per uscire, il manager Kelly Curtis stava organizzando un tour che sarebbe partito ad aprile, subito dopo l’uscita del disco, e il frontman Andy Wood non stava usando droghe. Il loro primo concerto del 1990 si teneva due giorni dopo capodanno (cinque giorni prima del ventiquattresimo compleanno di Andy) al Vogue, il piccolo club che da allora ha le parole MOTHER LOVE BONE dipinte sulla facciata dell’edificio. La band, speranzosa ed emozionata, era sostenuta inoltre, come fece notare Andy dal palco, dalla nascita della prima figlia di Kelly, avvenuta poco prima, quello stesso giorno.

  • Spoon Schonebergkonzerte
    KONZERTBÜR O PRESSEMITTEILUNG VOM 08.12.2017 Konzertbüro Schoneberg GmbH Amtsgericht Münster · HRB 3232 USt.-ID-Nummer: DE126111533 Geschäftsführer: Till Schoneberg Spoon www.schoneberg.de schonebergkonzerte 2018 auf Deutschlandtournee „Hot Thoughts“ (2017), das mittlerweile neunte Album von Spoon, ist das wohl mutigste und klanglich innovativste Werk ihrer Kariere, selbst wenn man Britt Daniels diverse andere Outputs hinzunimmt. Mit Respekt für ihre bisherigen Erfolge, die die Band sowohl bei Kritikern beliebt, als auch finanziell erfolgreich gemacht hat, radiert „Hot Thoughts“ doch eben alle bisher vorgefertigten Meinungen über die US-amerikanische Band aus. Das bedeutet zwar nicht, dass es nicht immer noch eine hohe Dichte an einnehmenden Ohrwürmern auf dem neuen Album gibt (es sind ja immer noch Spoon, über die wir hier reden - auch wenn „Hot Thoughts“ das erste Album ohne Akustik-Gitarre ist) – aber ihren textlichen Bogen spannen sie nun von sinnlich bis listig, während sie nach all den Experimenten der Vergangenheit ihren Sound zwischen den Genre-Stühlen gefunden haben. Anerkennung sollte man auch dem Produzenten Dave Fridmann zollen, dessen Magie in Cassadaga, New York der Band noch einen diabolischen Glanz verleihen konnte. Ohne Frage kann man schon die bisherige Discographie von Spoon bzw. Britt Daniel, Drummer Jim Eno, Bassist Rob Pope und Alex Fischel vom Debüt „Telephono“ aus dem Jahr 1996, über „A Serie Of Sneaks“ (1998), „Girls Can Tell“ (2001), „Kill The Moonlight“ (2002), „Gimme Fiction“ (2005), „Ga Ga Ga Ga Ga“ (2007), „Transference“ (2010) und „They Want My Soul“ (2014) als einzigartige Gewinnserie bezeichnen, aber dennoch ragt hier „Hot Thoughts“ als neues, futuristisches Kapitel im Schaffen der US-Amerikaner heraus.

  • TRAMPLED by TURTLES Life Is Good on the Open Road
    TRAMPLED BY TURTLES Life Is Good On The Open Road In the immortal words of Tom Petty, “You belong somewhere you feel free.” For the Duluth, Minnesota sextet Trampled by Turtles, finding that freedom meant taking a risky approach; rather than continuing full speed ahead with a band that had been successfully touring, writing, and recording music together for the past 15 years, they pumped the breaks and brought the tour bus screeching to a halt. By the time Trampled by Turtles announced their hiatus in the fall of 2016, the success they’d experienced as a band could only be described as a phenomenon. They’d had multiple albums climb the Billboard charts, with two reaching the No. 1 spot on the Bluegrass charts and one topping the Folk chart; they’d appeared on The Late Show with David Letterman twice; and they’d performed at nearly every major festival in the U.S. and Canada, from Coachella to Bonnarroo, Lollapalooza, and the Newport Folk Festival, pulling in huge and adoring crowds with their breakneck string performances and heartfelt, sometimes gut- wrenching lyrics. After all that time traveling together in close quarters and commanding festival and club stages around the country, the six musicians who make up Trampled by Turtles — Dave Simonett, Tim Saxhaug, Dave Carroll, Erik Berry, Ryan Young, and Eamonn McLain — went nearly a year without all being in the same room. Simonett, the band’s lead singer and songwriter, released a critically acclaimed and highly personal album, Furnace, with his band Dead Man Winter. Other members kept busy with their own side projects in the Twin Cities and their hometown of Duluth, Minnesota, allowing new musical ideas to grow.
