The Legendary Pink Dots<\/p><\/div>\n

The Legendary Pink Dots \u2013 an Anglo-Dutch experimental rock band formed in London in 1980 \u2013 has found a genre all its own. Although far outside the mainstream, LPD have released more than 40 albums, have a devoted worldwide following, and tour frequently. Distinctive vocals and lyrical imagery are a big part of the band\u2019s universal appeal.<\/span><\/p>\n

On October 2, <\/span>The Legendary Pink Dots will return to the area for a show at Boot and Saddle (1131 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, 215-639-4528, www.bootandsaddlephilly.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

The Legendary Pink Dots have certainly earned their \u201clegendary\u201d status by now. The band, which is based in the Netherlands and has always featured a lineup with English and Dutch musicians, is celebrating its 36th anniversary this year.<\/span><\/p>\n

The LPD have always had two core members \u2013 singer\/songwriter\/keyboardist Edward Ka-Spel and keyboardist Phil Knight \u2013 along with a variety of rotating musicians and instrumental lineups.<\/span><\/p>\n

Better known throughout Europe than in the states, the Dots\u2019 music has elements of rock, jazz, psychedelia, industrial, synth-pop and avant-garde. They have released close to 50 studio albums and have reached double figures with their live album total. They also have over 30 compilation albums to their credit along with a handful of DVDs.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Legendary Pink Dots, who released their new album \u201cPages of Aquarius\u201d recently on Metropolis Records, are in the beginning of a stateside tour supporting the new disc.The The current LPD lineup includes Edward Ka-Spel (voice, keyboards, devices, gadgets, keyboards, interference, premonitions) and Phil Knight\/The Silverman (keyboards, soundscapes, electronics devices, gadgets, technology, korgs, radios, cables). Joining them are Erik Drost (acoustic, electric, bass and Hawaiian guitars) and Joep Hendrikx (electronics, effects).<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThids is a pretty big tour \u2013 26 shows,\u201d said Ka-Spel, during a phone interview Thursday as the band headed from Toronto to Montreal \u201cIt\u2019s a long haul. Basically, we\u2019re making a full circle of North America.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe released our latest album \u2018Pages of Aquarius\u2019 a few months ago \u2013 on a Philadelphia labe, Metropolis Records. They also released our last studio album \u2013 \u2018The Gethsemane Option.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The Dots also release a lot of music on their own. In between \u201cThe Gethsemane Option\u201d in 2013 and \u201cPages of Aquarius\u201d in 2016, they have released \u201cCode Noir\u201d (2013), \u201cThe Curse of Marie Antoinette\u201d (2013), \u201c10<\/span>9<\/sup><\/span>\u201d (2014), \u201cThe Seismic Bleats of Quantum Sheep\u201d (2015), \u201cFive Days\u201d (2015), and \u201cFive Days Instrumentals\u201d (2015).<\/span><\/p>\n

They have also released seven other albums as digital-only downloads in that time period. One of LPD\u2019s projects is its \u201cChemical Playschool\u201d series of albums which is well into the teens.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIf I tried to remember all our albums and talk a little about each, it might carry into my next lifetime,\u201d said Ka-Spell. \u201cWe also have a special release for this tour \u2013 a new \u2018Chemical Playschool\u2019 issue. It\u2019s a four-CD box with two older and two new \u2018Chemical Playschool\u2019 albums. And, we have \u2018Pages of Aquarius\u2019 on pink vinyl.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen we were recording \u2018Pages of Aquarius,\u2019 we touched on an extremely diverse range of subjects. There was a long search for a title and it came when I was going on a plane with my wife and she mentioned Age of Aquarius. A lot of people believe that we\u2019re entering the Age of Aquarius. It\u2019s like pages of Aquarius. Being an Aquarius myself, it really resonates with me.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe album was recorded mostly in my house in London and at a studio in Nijmegen in the Netherlands. We started working on it a couple years ago. We put the finishing touches on in April and Metropolis released it in May. We then did a European tour and that paved the way for this tour.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Even with the lineup changes, the 2016 edition of the band is still able to play a lot of older songs from the Legendary Pink Dots catalog.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve reworked a lot of songs,\u201d said Ka-Spel, a former Londoner who still is a die-hard fan of the Queens Park Rangers soccer team. \u201cThere were songs we wanted to preserve so we\u2019re still developing them. We\u2019ve extended our repertoire a lot now. We\u2019re playing pretty long sets \u2013 up to two hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the long set, we really do cover a lot of years. It\u2019s a mix of history — yet sounding very contemporary. In the live show, a few of the songs have extended to 12 minutes. We\u2019ve completely revamped the set from previous years. It\u2019s a challenge. We like to push ourselves hard.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

But, just because the Legendary Pink Dots play two-hour sets with songs that last longer than 10 minutes, don\u2019t be misled into thinking that the Dots are just another jam band.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe never get carried away,\u201d said Ka-Spel, the creator of the band\u2019s thought-provoking and often bizarre lyrics. \u201cWe don\u2019t want to turn it to noodling. Noodles are for eating.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Jazz at Lincoln Center Presents Ladies Sing the Blues<\/p><\/div>\n

Grammy\u00ae Award-winning vocalist Catherine Russell doesn\u2019t really tour much. Instead, she presents a limited number of shows each year at selected venues.<\/span><\/p>\n

One of those venues for 2016 is the Annenberg Center (3680 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, 215-898-3900, www.annenbergcenter.org<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

On October 1, Russell \u2013 along with Brianna Thomas and Charanee Wade \u2013 will visit the billed as \u201cJazz at Lincoln Center Presents Ladies Sing the Blues.\u201d The trio will channel the liberated spirits and pioneering vocalizations of four 1920s blues divas \u2013 Bessie Smith (the \u201cEmpress of the Blues\u201d); Mamie Smith (the \u201cQueen of the Blues\u201d); Ma Rainey (the \u201cMother of the Blues\u201d); and legendary stage and screen icon, Ethel Waters.<\/span><\/p>\n

Backed by a seven-piece band, the ladies demonstrate the ageless relevance of this important genre in American music — tackling love\u2019s follies and stompin\u2019 the blues away. The music on stage this weekend is just Part of Russell\u2019s huger repertoire, which includes songs from her sixth and most recent album \u201cHarlem On My Mind.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI gather tunes all the time,\u201d said Russell, during a phone interview Wednesday afternoon from her home in New York City. \u201cThen, I look at what I\u2019ve gathered and see what I\u2019ve got.”<\/span><\/p>\n

With her sixth album, \u201cHarlem On My Mind,\u201d Catherine Russell\u00a0journeyed to the blue heart of the great African American songbook. Vocalists Ethel Waters, Billie Holiday, Etta James, and Dinah Washington provided inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe title of the album came form the song of the same name by Irving Berlin,\u201d said Russell. \u201cI\u2019m continually gathering material. I look at what is going to thread well together in a body of work. All the songs we had gathered \u2013 many of the artists had done shows in Harlem…especially the Apollo.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Russell is a native New Yorker, born into musical royalty. Her father, the late Luis Russell, was a legendary pianist\/composer\/bandleader and Louis Armstrong\u2019s long-time musical director. Her mother, Carline Ray, was a pioneering vocalist\/guitarist\/bassist who performed with International Sweethearts of Rhythm, Mary Lou Williams, and Sy Oliver. \u201cMy mother was a singer and who was born and raised in Harlem,\u201d said Russel. \u201cMy dad lived in a few places in Harlem when he had his band and when he was working with Louis Armstrong. He played the Savoy Club. He led one of the leading orchestras in Harlem, which was part of the inspiration for this album.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI grew up in New York and my mother took me to many different shows \u2013 classical concerts as well as jazz. I was a dancer for six years with Catherine Dunham\u2019s company and danced in \u2018Aida\u2019 at the Metropolitan Opera House.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I was a dancer, I was totally immersed in dancing. I was in the chorus at school and then went to acting school in college. Music developed out of doing a lot of different things \u2013 performing with different bands and touring. It was all a process.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Russell was a vocalist for David Bowie on several of his tours.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of 2005, I had come home form one of David’s tours and people were asking me why I never made my own album. So, I put together some tunes, went to Chicago and made an album. Then, I did my first album release.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Russell’s professional life began early. After graduating with honors from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, she embarked upon musical adventures with Carrie Smith, Steely Dan, David Bowie, Cyndi Lauper, Paul Simon, Jackson Browne, Michael Feinstein, Levon Helm, and Rosanne Cash, among others, appearing on over 200 albums.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her 2006 debut album \u201cCat\u201d (World Village\/Harmonia Mundi), garnered rave reviews and paved the way for her 2008 sophomore release, \u201cSentimental Streak.\u201d Russell\u2019s third album, \u201cInside This Heart of Mine\u201d reached #1 on JazzWeek and Roots Music Reports radio charts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Her fourth album, \u201cStrictly Romancin’,\u201d\u00a0was awarded Prix du Jazz Vocal (Vocal Album of The Year) by the French Jazz Academy, Grand Prix du Hot Club de France, and a Bistro Award for Outstanding Recording. That same year Russell won a Grammy\u00ae Award as a featured artist on the soundtrack album for the HBO-TV series, \u201cBoardwalk Empire.\u201d Her fifth solo album, \u201cBring It Back\u201d (Jazz Village)\u00a0received a five-star review in DownBeat.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very involved in all facets of making each album \u2013 not just the singing,\u201d said Russell. \u201cI\u2019m very involved with the arrangements \u2013 but I will get a horn arranger to help me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Michael<\/a>

Michael McDermott<\/p><\/div>\n

Another show in Philly on October 1 will feature Michael McDermott performing a pair of shows at the Tin Angel (20 South Second Street, Philadelphia, 215-928-0770, http:\/\/www.tinangel.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

McDermott burst onto the scene in his early 20\u2019s with his exceptional debut, \u201c620 W. Surf\u201d and subsequently found himself touted as rock\u2019s \u2018Next Big Thing\u2019.\u00a0 MTV, Rolling Stone, The New York Times and even author, Stephen King added their appreciative nods.<\/span><\/p>\n

But, things did not go as planned.<\/span><\/p>\n

The missteps and failures that followed \u2013 such as the collapse of an industry that once embraced him as its next sensation \u2013 will either ruin a person completely or they force a change of attitude. McDermott summoned staunch determination to survive and overcome.<\/span><\/p>\n

McDermott\u2019s story is the classic tale of survival, perseverance, love and redemption. The first half begins with youthful innocence, a dream-come-true recording contract, a classic debut album heralded by the media, and a downward spiral with seemingly no bottom.<\/span><\/p>\n

The second half begins with love and the woman that would become his wife, Heather Horton, their baby girl, and a collection of achingly honest songs born of new inspiration that are among the very best of his 25-year career.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt hasn\u2019t been easy but I\u2019m in a great place now,\u201d said McDermott, during a phone ointerview Wednesday from his home in the country in Willow Springs, Illinois. \u2018I\u2019m two-and-a-half years clean and sober. As time goes on, the road gets easier.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

McDermott\u2019s 10<\/span>th<\/sup><\/span> album \u201cWillow Springs,\u201d is one of the best he\u2019s ever made. Named for the small town where he now resides with his wife and young daughter, it reflects a certain circumspect about his life, the situations he\u2019s encountered, while realizing that ultimately, his fate resided in his own hands.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to McDermott, \u201cThis is an album of reckoning I suppose. There was a real cacophony of change going on in my life at the time… being a new father, losing my own father, leaving the city for the country, dealing with sobriety, grief, death, mortality, shame and forgiveness.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a veritable emotional tsunami and yet somehow I had to navigate through it all. That journey is reflected in these songs. Willow Springs is the name of the place where I took refuge and had to confront a lot of things\u201d.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Recorded at his home in the country and fan-funded, \u201cWillow Springs\u201d finds McDermott behind the boards as producer for the first time with longtime producer and collaborator, Lex Price doing the mix. Having enlisted a stellar support group of musicians — including multi-instrumentalist, Price; guitarist, Will Kimbrough; keyboard player, John Deaderick and McDermott\u2019s wife, Heather Horton on backing vocals – McDermott found himself able to craft the sound he envisioned.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI recorded the album around the end of last year,\u201d said McDermott. \u201cIt was the first album I\u2019ve done at home. There\u2019s something about when the red light goes on \u2013 it\u2019s like Cindy Brady caught looking in the camera.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAt home, it\u2019s more relaxed \u2013 less pressure. Having my wife there was great. She\u2019s come in and hear me after recording a vocal and say \u2013 I don\u2019t believe what you\u2019re singing. She was a great \u2013 and very helpful \u2013 critic. She was very honest about it.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a trial by fire. I just jumped right into the deep end. In hits modern age, I\u2019d send stuff to Will and John. They would work on it and send it back to me. It was a virtual effort. Heather is also on it. And, she\u2019ll be coming to do the Philly shows with me.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The album has received great response from listeners.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt came out in June and people really liked it,\u201d said McDermott. \u201cThe album is doing amazingly well \u2013 which I can\u2019t believe. It reached Number One on the European Americana chart and Number One on Amazon\u2019s Americana list. The reviews in Europe have been tremendous. I haven\u2019t had this much momentum since my first album in 1991.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Video link for Michael McDermott \u2013 https:\/\/youtu.be\/d2IPPbpDLiM?t=10<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The shows at the Tin Angel, which have Matthew Ryan as the opening act, will start at 7:30 and 10 p.m. Tickets are $18 for either show.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"beaver_found_show\"<\/a>Another interesting performance on October 1 will be Beaver Nelson\u2019s show at <\/span>Dad\u2019s Hat Distillery (<\/span>925 Canal Street, Building #4, Bristol, dadshatrye.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Nelson, a singer-songwriter-guitarist from Austin, Texas, will be kicking off his first East Coast tour in over four years and will be performing many favorites from his previous seven albums as well as new tracks from his latest release \u201cPositive.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

As a songwriter, Nelson has long sought to locate deeper truths, to shape order from the puzzles life puts forward, both past and present.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAs I got older, I began including more pop influences chordally,\u201d said Nelson, during a phone interview Tuesday as he drove through North Jersey on his way to a show in Connecticut. \u201cI\u2019m a fan of the Who and Squeeze. I tried to bring in some of that pop cadence.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI was never the kid who played other people\u2019s songs. I play to write. I\u2019m a storyteller \u2013 but rarely in a linear narrative…usually in a roundabout way. I surround the subject matter. I start at the start and end at the end.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Nelson, \u201cI\u2019m pretty obsessed with the notion of time. It\u2019s the basic human problem. What time means and its effect on us and the fact that you can\u2019t own it. It\u2019s here, then it\u2019s gone\u2014you screw up and you don\u2019t get it back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Hailed as a prodigy by Rolling Stone at the tender age of 19, Beaver has released seven albums since then, but not before getting churned through the major label blender first. By the age of 22 he had two failed record deals and had seen enough of that world to back away. He fronted a rock band for years before returning to solo performance and focusing on songwriting in the wake of the passing of his idol, Townes Van Zandt.<\/span><\/p>\n

Nelson began playing guitar at 14 and was introduced to Bob Dylan, the Rolling Stones, Lou Reed and Bruce Springsteen by two of his camp counselors. He began to write and record songs, assembling handmade cassettes to sell to friends. He began exploring the Austin open mic scene during high school, driving up from his home in Houston. The vibrant and ultra-supportive scene introduced him to Jimmy La Fave, Jo Carol Pierce and others as well as Troy Campbell and Scrappy Jud Newcomb, members of the great Austin rock band Loose Diamonds.<\/p>\n

By the early 90s he was touring and beginning the frustrating major label period in his life, with deals that fell through and a shelved album that did not sound “grunge” enough for the A&R flacks.<\/p>\n

On his new album \u201cPositive,\u201d Nelson continues to reflect in a collection of songs written over the span of his career, brimming with intelligence, humor and his trademark pop hooks.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy songwriting has changed dramatically,\u201d said Nelson. \u201cI used to have all these files in my head. When it was ready to explode, I\u2019d write in a flurry \u2013 20-to-30 minutes. As I got older, I had more file filters. I had more stuff in there. I had to start writing things down. That began a middle period where I was really editing stuff. Then, there was a phase with no editing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

All throughout his long and impressive career, Nelson has written songs that make the ears happy and make the brain work.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI like density of thought,\u201d said Nelson. \u201cI don\u2019t like pandering.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This Wild Life<\/p><\/div>\n

On September 9, Long Beach, California-based indie duo This Wild Life released its sophomore album \u201cLow Tides.\u201d The much-anticipated follow-up to the band\u2019s 2014 Epitaph debut \u201cClouded,\u201d \u201cLow Tides\u201d finds the alt-rock act exploring more inventive instrumentation while pushing further into the intensely personal nature of their lyrics.<\/span><\/p>\n

The line-up of This Wild Life is very basic — Kevin Jordan and Anthony Del Grosso from Long Beach, California. The duo is touring in support of the album and will perform on October 2 at the World Caf\u00e9 Live (3025 Walnut Street, Philadelphia, 215-222-1400, www.worldcafelive.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

The two musicians met while working at a musical instrument store and quickly bonded over their love for hardcore. Their debut album \u201cClouded,\u201d which was released in May 2014, was met with positive reviews.<\/span><\/p>\n

A little while later, This Wild Life released a new version of the duo\u2019s debut album — an upgraded edition titled \u201cClouded Atmosphere Edition.\u201d It featured three new original songs — \u201cStay Up Late,\u201d \u201cIt\u2019s Alright\u201d and \u201cAlone With Me.\u201d The \u201cAtmosphere Edition\u201d also included three live songs.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnthony and I met when he was my manager at a guitar center,\u201d said Jordan, during a recent phone interview. \u201cWe found out that we had the same tastes in music. We started out as a pop-punk band and eventually de-evolved into a two-piece.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cOur first release was an EP in 2011 called \u2018Pop Shove It.\u2019 Then, we had a couple singles and an EP titled \u2018Heart Flip.\u2019 In 2012, we started working on our first full-length \u2018Clouded,\u2019 which came out May 2014.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded it in Lakeland, Florida with Aaron Marsh, who was Copeland\u2019s producer. I was a huge fan of Copeland. We went to him because we didn\u2019t have much experience in recording softer music.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The updated version of the album was done with a very specific goal.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe were offered a spot on the Warped Tour,\u201d said Jordan. \u201cWe had some new songs written and we wanted to put something new out to sell at the merch table at Warped. So, we did this instead of doing an EP.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re hard core fans — punk and hard core. We still listen to heavy music. We\u2019re more in line with the Warped Tour than we are with coffeehouses. If we toured with acoustic bands all year, we\u2019d be playing much smaller venues. We decided from Day One to tour with bands that make no sense.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe like to stand out. We tour with bands that are totally different than us. Audiences at these shows are used to hardcore and metal. With us, we\u2019re a crossover band.\u00a0 Anthony grew up listening to Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young and he learned finger picking back then<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201c\u201dWe actually started as a four-piece. Now, it\u2019s just the two of us on acoustic guitars — and Anthony does play some electric guitar. Going from four to two was a slow process. We had done an acoustic version of an early song that did well. So, we did a few more acoustic songs. It was growing organically. Now, we\u2019re having more fun writing softer songs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

This Wild Life also recorded it new album with producer\/engineer Aaron Marsh of Copeland. It was mixed and mastered with additional production and engineering by Jason Suwito of Sir Sly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe began making it right after the New Year,\u201d said Jordan. \u201cWe definitely did a lot of pre-production and then spent six weeks in the studio. We had already started the writing six months before we went in the studio. The foundations for all the songs were built on acoustic guitar.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
