PRESS HERE LA Shows

[Linda Carbone]

Hello!

Press Here has some fantastic artists playing LA soon! Please let us know if you would like to come to any of these shows!

BRIGHT EYES * Friday, September 23rd @ The Hollywood Forever Cemetery
Bright Eyes have been winding their way around the globe performing what can only be described as a "greatest hits" set in support of their critically acclaimed seventh studio album, The People’s Key (Saddle Creek). After a blistering showing at Coachella in April, this is Bright Eyes' first LA show in a long, long time. And it's in a graveyard. With support from Kurt Vile and The Violators, this is sure to be an epic night. Having wowed late night audiences on both The Late Show with David Letterman and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno the band have more than lived up to the praise critics have bestowed upon them. NPR called The People's Key "the best record Bright Eyes has ever made. In fact, it's the best record the band's frontman, Conor Oberst, has ever been a part of... The People's Key is a career-defining work of art."  Here they are performing "Jejune Stars"" from their brilliant new album "The People's Key" at Lollapalooza last month: http://youtu.be/oootwJyv8cM.

TV On The Radio released the lush and beautiful album, Nine Types of Light, which Esquire says it’s “The best album so far of 2011.” TV On The Radioburst onto the scene in 2001, with their 18-track demo tape OK Calculator, which they hid in the couch cushions of coffee shops throughout New York City.  From there the band released three more studio albums to critical acclaim and outward praise, often finding themselves atop “Best of” lists from Rolling Stone, Spin Magazine, The Onion AV Club, MTV and Entertainment Weekly’s as well as  Pitchfork Media's readers poll and the Pazz and Jop critic's poll.

Check out Release The Sunbird on Spinner: http://www.spinner.com/2011/09/13/release-the-sunbird-zach-rogue/

Praise for Come Back To Us:

“There's not a harsh note in the music of Release the Sunbird …Come Back to Us … never feels like wallpaper: For all its summery brightness, it remains as sweet as springtime, while still revealing subtle shades of autumnal melancholy. “ – NPR

“…delivering low-key and soulful tracks that weave pleasant acoustic guitar melodies with soft percussion. It’s an album that takes Rogue away from the familiar efforts with Rogue Wave as it harbors eloquent and delicate melodies that pioneer a soft-spoken and delightful album. “ – CMJ

“Come Back to Us is an ideal record for lazy mornings, midnight drives (especially the kind with no particular destination), and maybe even a back yard barbeque. That is to say, its easy and intimate harmonies, sweet melodies, warm guitar tones, and often gently driving pace make this the perfect record for all of the moments when we’re reminded just how good life can be.” – KCRW

“…showcases a particular mastery of contemplative folk through a sepia sun-soaked lens.”- Spinner

“…a club-hopping mix of guitars and dance grooves.” – Marie Claire
