PRESS HERE LA SHOWS: *Exitmusic * PJ Morton*

[Carla Senft]

Hello,

Press Here has two fantastic shows coming up this week in LA - please let us know if you can make it!

EXITMUSIC * Thursday April 19th @ Echoplex
[exitmusic photo 1- for email]Brooklyn's Exitmusic - comprised of Devon Church and Aleksa Palladino-will be playing at Echoplex this THURSDAY, April 19th with School Of Seven Bells in support of their debut album, Passage, which is set for release on Secretly Canadian on May 22nd. The duo, who received critical raves for their four-song EP From Silence, has since then expanded their live lineup from two to four, adding drummer Dru Prentiss and engineer Nicholas Shelestak, to help bring their blistering songs new dimensions. Passage sounds unlike any other album you will hear in 2012.  With Passage, the two tethers that make up Exitmusic's sound  - one stirring atmospherics, one of grandiose and thoughtful pop - and let to bow further out than before.  There are big, emotional dynamic shifts and a wave-crashing momentum across the set without ever breaking a sustained feeling of tenderness. Check out the video for the album's haunting, opening track "Passage" HERE<http://www.npr.org/blogs/allsongs/2012/04/04/149981481/first-watch-an-epic-and-mysterious-passage-from-exitmusic>.

PJ MORTON * Thursday April 19th @ House of Blues
[main FMFM pic-lr.JPG]PJ Morton will be bringing the new songs from his recently released debut EP to the House of Blues in LA this Thursday, April 19th. PJ is a Grammy Award-winning writer and producer (India Arie, Jermaine Dupri, LL Cool J) as well as the keyboardist in Maroon 5. He just released his first solo project, the Following My First Mind EP, on Lil Wayne's Young Money Entertainment.  Lead single "Heavy" features Adam Levine (check it out here<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FLelnNuCpUU>) and is the perfect introduction to PJ's feel-good soulful pop. Lil Wayne and Jazmine Sullivan are also featured on two songs.

"...it's a soulful and sunny affair...Morton builds undeniably catchy songs with a ton of heart. You'll be singing along from the first word to the last, not to mention, his instrumentation is utterly spellbinding. It's a new classic..." - ArtistDirect.com
