Since “she” first morphed into fully-bejeweled and boa-feathered glory in 1996, Miss Knife has become Py’s alter ego, allowing him to disregard gender conventions and express another side of himself. Working with long-time collaborator Stéphane Leach, Py pens a set of brand-new 1 songs about love and desire for this BAM engagement. Every night one guest artist—Joey Arias (Sep 20), Angélique Kidjo (Sep 21), Ute Lemper (Sep 22), and Jo Lampert (Sep 23)— joins Miss Knife’s soirée, delivering a cocktail mix of genres, genders, nationalities, and stories.

  • DC Biog Current
    THE DIVINE COMEDY – A BIOGRAPHY The Divine Comedy is Neil Hannon. Over the years, the name has encompassed other musicians, but the driving force of the band and its main (sometimes only!) member has always been Neil Hannon. He chose the name 'The Divine Comedy' aged 18, almost at random. He and two Enniskillen school friends needed a new name for their band and Neil spotted a copy of Dante’s epic poem on the family bookshelf. It stuck, and a year later it was the name under which the trio signed to Irish run indie Setanta Records. They left Northern Ireland, moved into a squat in London, released a mini-album, 1990’s REM/Ride influenced 'Fanfare for the Comic Muse' and ‘91’s ‘Europop’ E.P. then split up. Neil's bandmates went to university and Neil returned home. Retaining the name, he spent 18 months living in his parents’ attic, sleeping during the day, watching old movies and writing songs at night. Influenced by everything from Jacques Brel, Scott Walker and Michael Nyman to "A Room with a View", Wordsworth, and Mr Benn, these songs eventually evolved into two albums. The first of these, ‘Liberation’ was released in 1993. Totally different to anything else around, and indeed his previous work, he now considers it his first album proper. The press adored it. The NME described it as "..an array of seductive yarns.. glorious, gleeful tunesmanship." Dave Cavanagh, writing in Select said "...one of the bountiful, overflowing joys of the year. Any year." Melody Maker described it as "An album that could make any listener want to stumble up to him and proclaim ‘Neil, you’re a genius’".

  • UCLA Live Media Alert UTE FINAL
    MEDIA ALERT: Wednesday, March 7, 2012 Songstress Ute Lemper Celebrates the Art of Chanson March 29 at Royce Hall Who : Renowned German chanteuse Ute Lemper with acclaimed Berlin-based ensemble Vogler Quartet and composer/clarinetist Stefan Malzew. What : The luminous Ute Lemper, backed by the Vogler Quartet and Stefan Malzew brings a new stage show to UCLA Live’s Royce Hall as part of a North American tour coinciding with the March 20 album release of Paris Days, Berlin Nights from Steinway & Sons. The album and performance feature post-war tales of love and despair from the French songbook by Jacques Brel and Edith Piaf, alongside music from Kurt Weill and Berthold Brecht, which hearkens back to the years of the revolutionary and decadent Weimer Republic. The evening also features passionate songs from Latin-American adventurer Astor Piazzolla and Polish-born Israeli singer Chava Albertstein. The Vogler Quartet lends these chansons a delicate yet powerful sound in arrangements by Malzew, who infuses complimentary flavors of piano, clarinet and accordion. Lemper says she considers herself “an ambassador to the European songbook of the Weimar years—the Brecht, the Weill, the Piaf, the Brel, the Kabarett…It’s a great responsibility and I’m proud to bring this music out into our millennium and the world.” When : Thursday, March 29 at 8 p.m. (doors 7 p.m.) Tickets available at uclalive.org , the UCLA Box Office at 310.825.2101, or via Ticketmaster ($20-$65). Where: UCLA Live at Royce Hall. 340 Royce Drive, UCLA Campus. More information: uclalive.org . Press Contact : Jessica Wolf 310.825.7789 or [email protected] Limited press tickets available.
