Darwin Deez

July 12, 2011

Darwin Deez played to a packed house at Johnny Brenda's in Philadelphia on Tuesday.

According to his bio:
Some of our finest musicians, the ones most capable of commanding attention onstage or blaring through the speakers of a radio, can often seem aloof and reclusive in real life. They can sometimes seem like total polar opposites to their public demeanour, or, unfortunately, in some instances, they can sometimes be downright disappointing (too many to name). And then there are the true pop stars among us; the ones blessed with rare, innate qualities, who shine just as vibrantly offstage as on, who have the genetic good fortune to be able to write whip-smart, life-affirming, heart-swelling songs, and at the same time say all sorts of funny and clever and entertaining things, and without whom the cultural landscape would be that much greyer and duller. No one illustrates this distinction more so than young Darwin Deez.

Agnes Obel at the Tin Angel

June 15, 2011

The Danish songwriter/composer Agnes Obel performed at the Tin Angel in Philadelphia, PA on Wednesday. The Tin Angel was the very last stop of her first US tour. She is an amazing pianist with beautiful vocals.

Agnes has become something of a phenomenon overseas, going platinum (100,000 albums) in France, double platinum in Denmark, and sold out venues across Europe. She released a new EP, iTunes Live From Paris, exclusively through iTunes on May 31st. Recorded at the iTunes Opera Store in Paris in March, the EP features some of Agnes’ classic tracks from her debut record, Philharmonics, as well as Agnes’ haunting take on Elliott Smith’s “Between The Bars.”

They are touring in support of their new self titled debut album, released in
March 2011. The 10-song LP will include a few guest appearances (Luke Jenner from the Rapture; Chris Glover from Penguin Prison; and – really – Michael McDonald) and though it will certainly yield more evidence of Holy Ghost!'s place at the top of the heap of dance music makers.

Known around the globe for their party starting singles and their unparalleled ability to get bodies moving on the dancefloor, Holy Ghost! have developed from an in demand DJ duo to a full live band crafting disco-tinged pop songs that satisfy equally on the dancefloor and in a car.
