On May 29 & 30, an array of unique performers come together at the BAM Howard Gilman Opera House to celebrate the genre-defying experimental spirit of Russell, whose oeuvre ranged from classical to disco to experimental to folk. Artists paying homage to Russell at BAM include Sam Amidon, Cults, Lonnie Holley, Redding Hunter, Dev Hynes, Little Scream, Thao Nguyen (Thao & the Get Down Stay Down), Richard Reed Parry (Arcade Fire), Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters), and Rubblebucket. Several of these artists contributed to the 2014 Red Hot/Yep Roc two-CD Master Mix release, hailed by Pitchfork as “a hell of a tribute album.” About Arthur Russell Arthur Russell was an American cellist, composer, singer and musician whose work spanned the genres of classical, disco, experimental, folk, and rock. Notable artists who collaborated with Russell include Allen Ginsberg, Philip Glass, Talking Heads, Jennifer Warnes, Bootsy Collins, and Nicky Siano. Russell found commercial success in New York's underground dance and disco scene throughout the late 1970s and early 1980s. Although he recorded many songs, he only released one full-length album during his lifetime, World of Echo (Rough Trade Records) in 1986. Russell died from AIDS-related complications in 1992. Since 2000, a series of reissues, compilations, books, and a biographical documentary have significantly raised his profile. Following his death, several albums of his unreleased recordings were compiled and released, including Another Thought (1994), Calling Out of Context (2004), and Love is Overtaking Me (2008). Master Mix: Red Hot + Arthur Russell, released in 2014 by Yep Roc Records, features 26 of Russell’s songs performed by more than 20 artists including Sufjan Stevens, José González, Robyn, Dev Hynes, and Richard Reed Parry. For press information, please contact Sandy Sawotka at [email protected] or 718.636.4190. About Red Hot Since 1989 the Red Hot Organization has produced almost 20 groundbreaking albums and related television specials incorporating the elements of leading musicians, performers, producers, filmmakers, and visual artists to raise funds and awareness for HIV/AIDS. Red Hot projects have raised more than $10 million towards AIDS awareness and relief around the world. BAM’s previous Red Hot productions include Red Hot + RIOT! Live: The Music and Spirit of Fela Kuti (Next Wave Festival 2006); Red Hot + Rio 2: The Next Generation of Samba Soul (NWF 2008); Red Hot + New Orleans (NWF 2010); and Red Hot + Cuba (NWF 2012).

  • Jake Shears Lists Los Feliz Architectural (EXCLUSIVE)
    Jake Shears Lists Los Feliz Architectural (EXCLUSIVE) March 7, 2019 Mark David Location: Los Angeles, Calif. Price: $2.248 million Size: 2,309 square feet, 3-4 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms A 1937 Streamline Moderne residence nestled into the foothills of L.A.’s Los Feliz area, owned by alt-pop singer/songwriter Jake Shears, has hit the market at $2.248 million. The famously energetic and frequently porn-stached 40-year-old singer and musician, on indefinite hiatus from the powerhouse early aughts glam-rock band Scissor Sisters, purchased the eye-catching, architecturally significant home in 2013 with his then- boyfriend, accomplished documentary filmmaker Chris Moukarbel (“Gaga: Five Foot Two”), from abstract painter Beatrice Findlay for $1.92 million. Defined by a semi-circular, glass-block tower that houses a winding stone staircase and entered amid a variety of spiky plants via a petite, elevated porch, the three-story white- stucco villa is widely attributed to accomplished if somewhat unsung architect William Kesling and known in architecture circles as Ulm House. With many original details intact, there are three and potentially four bedrooms and four carefully preserved or re- created vintage-tiled bathrooms in a smidgen more than 2,300 square feet. Adjoining living and dining rooms with honey-toned hardwood floors and gigantic, curtain-free steel-trimmed windows that extend all the way to the ceiling flow easily out to a terrazzo terrace with over-the-treetops canyon and city lights views. There’s an angled fireplace and built-in banquette seating in the living room and the dining room, simply but strikingly furnished with a colorfully contemporary take on a picnic table, is open over a short peninsula snack bar to an unquestionably compact but generously windowed and fully up-to-date kitchen.

    COUNTESS AND FRIENDS BIOGRAPHY Countess Luann is a reality television star, author, actress, singer and mother. An original cast member of Bravo’s hit TV show The Real Housewives of New York, Luann just finished filming her tenth season with a weekly viewership of three million. Most recently Luann appeared in her first cabaret show #CountessAndFriends at Feinstein’s 54 Below. After rave reviews, demand grows for more shows as they continue to sell out. #CountessAndFriends is now set to go across the country this summer. Luann is presently working on a new single to add to her global dance hits “Money Can’t Buy You Class”, “Chic C’est La Vie” and “Girl Code.” Author of Class With The Countess, she is also at work on her second book. #cOUNTESSANDFRIENDS Luann de Lesseps—known as the Countess on “The Real Housewives of New York City”—is a television personality, pop singer and author. She has broken all box office records at New York’s famed Feinstein’s 54 Below with her acclaimed, long-running neo-cabaret variety act, #CountessAndFriends. The string of sold-out successes continues as de Lesseps plays to standing room only crowds in the most desired theaters and supper clubs around the globe. Hip as a New York minute and classically chic, the glamorous life of de Lesseps in the fast lane on several continents (together with a solid decade at the center of reality TV) provides fodder for hilarious stories, one-of-a-kind anecdotes and, of course, some standards and pop songs in her inimitable style.
