David Potts-Dupre CD Release at IMT Takoma Park

 Institute of Musical Traditions
Tickets: $15 advance, $18 door. Students with ID: $12 advance, $15 door. Available at http://www.imtfolk.org/ "They Speak at Night," David Potts-Dupre’s latest CD, is music that refuses to be pigeon-holed—pulling from Folk, Country, Blues, Americana, story-telling, Rock and even spoken word genres. With thirteen original songs that run the gamut from ballads, ghost stories, songs of love and relationships, blues rock, rabble rousing labor song, songs of death and songs of life, this CD will appeal to lovers of real acoustic music. David sometimes describes himself as a “rediscovery artist”, a singer and musician who has played for decades, but only surfaced as a professional songwriter and performer in his mid-fifties. The first two songs, Just Like You and Bittersweet, are prime examples of how Potts-Dupre uses his life and relationships-–in this case as a father of two daughters--to paint poignant stories of a father being reminded of his late wife while watching his daughter run in a cornfield or of having mixed emotions of joy and sadness during his daughter’s wedding. Potts-Dupre also writes about love and marriage from the rare perspective of someone who has been married for thirty seven years. I Will and Do You Remember, Livy provide guidance on how to stay in such a relationship. Come Be With Me, a duet with Rose Parkington backed on violin and vocals from the Parkington Sisters, is a simple heartfelt love story. There is something for everyone on this CD – a haunting ghost story (The Boy on Dismal Hollow Road), a hard driving blues-rock song about sadness and love (Down While Uptown) and a song about our ancestors guiding us in our dreams (They Speak At Night). A particularly emotional song is Music for Mom based on Potts-Dupre’s mother’s Alzheimers’ and how music would waken her and bring her joy. The documentarian Rossato-Bennett, whose film Alive Inside which deals with music and Alzheimers, plans to use the song to promote his film. Finally, there is Join the Union, Joe, where union members try to convince a non-union worker of the value of the union. Karen Collins (WAMA 2012 Country Vocalist and artist of award-winning CD No Yodeling on the Radio) sings as one of the union members. This song is especially meaningful since Potts-Dupre has been a union lawyer for twenty-eight years. The new CD was produced by Steve Seckler and David Potts-Dupre, recorded at Asparagus Media Studios in Takoma Park, MD and mastered by GRAMMY® winning Charlie Pilzer at Airshow Mastering also in Takoma Park. Many musical friends provided unique contributions to individual songs – the Parkington Sisters, Karen Collins, Heather Aubrey Lloyd, Mindy McWilliams, Kristen Jones and more. Supported by a stellar band with John Previti on bass, Paul Garisto on drums and Steve Steckler on guitar and what seems like everything else under the sun, these songs speak volumes. read more

5/23 - SHIT ROBOT & PROTECT-U (DJ SET)

 U Street Music Hall
Shit Robot you say? Protect U as well? Say wha? 10pm, $10 door, 18+ Tickets: http://bit.ly/ROBOT523 SHIT ROBOT In the early ‘90s, Dublin, Ireland native Marcus Lambkin moved to New York, where he ingrained himself in the club scene as a DJ with a number of residencies. It wasn’t until 2006, however, after he had moved to Stuttgart, Germany and aligned with LCD Soundsystem`s James Murphy for a party dubbed Shit Robot that he began producing and remixing under that name -- a reference to Murphy’s poor drawing skills. From April 2006 through March 2010, Lambkin released four left-field house singles -- mutations of electro, deep house, classic Detroit techno, and old-school rave -- on Murphy and Tim Goldsworthy`s DFA label. He also remixed tracks by Dondolo, Kaos, Simian Mobile Disco, Idioma, and the likeminded Juan Maclean. Unsurprisingly, the output raised Lambkin’s profile as a DJ, and he began to gig all over the planet. This all culminated in the first Shit Robot album, From the Cradle to the Rave, which was released on DFA in September 2010. ~ Andy Kellman, Rovi Protect U http://www.residentadvisor.net/review-view.aspx?id=10990 read more

Glow & Steez Promo Present MEGA GLOW feat. Knife Party w/ Jack Beats & Pegboard Nerds

 Echostage
Tickets On Sale 4/11 At: http://bit.ly/ZNrTrj ---------------------------------------------------- Glow DC & Steez Promo Present MEGA GLOW featuring KNIFE PARTY http://www.knifeparty.com http://soundcloud.com/knifepartyinc https://twitter.com/knifepartyinc http://www.youtube.com/knifepartyinc Knife Party are a brand new production and performance outfit fronted by Rob Swire and Gareth McGrillen. While on tour with their previous band, Rob and Gareth felt the urge to start a new project with the aim of showcasing ideas which didn’t fit into the existing mould, and decided to name themselves after their favourite Deftones track. Taking inspiration from a number of different genres, Knife Party are focusing their attention on everything EDM. They are influenced by electro house, dubstep, moombahton / 110, drumstep and much more – but currently they are most excited about the fusion of house and dubstep. JACK BEATS http://www.jackbeats.co.uk https://www.facebook.com/jackbeatsmusic http://soundcloud.com/jack-beats http://twitter.com/jackbeats http://youtube.com/jackbeatsvevo Jack Beats have a plan. That plan involves taking the very best, most spectacularly effective pieces from a vast array of different musical genres and blending them together into an irrepressible force that detonates on contact. When you lay it out like that it all seems quite simple really, doesn’t it? “It’s all in the influences,” says Niall Dailly, the Scottish half of the band. “There’s always room for a drum n bass breakbeat, or an old rave riff, or a vintage house sample.” PEGBOARD NERDS http://www.pegboardnerds.com https://www.facebook.com/PegboardNerds http://www.soundcloud.com/PegboardNerds http://www.twitter.com/PegboardNerds Plus Performances By DES MCMAHON http://www.desmcmahon.me https://www.facebook.com/desmcmahon www.soundcloud.com/desmcmahon ROBERTO GONZALEZ https://www.facebook.com/RobertoGonzalezMusic http://www.soundcloud.com/RobertoGonzalez ---------------------------------------------------- 18+ Doors @ 8 PM $25/30/35/40 Tickets On Sale 4/11 At: http://bit.ly/ZNrTrj Echostage 2135 Queens Chapel Rd NE Washington, DC www.steezpromo.com www.clubglow.com www.echostage.com read more
