LA SHOWS: *Steve Mason* Adam Green and Binki Shapiro*

[Linda Carbone]

Hello!
Press Here has some incredible acts playing in LA this week. See below and let us know if you’d like to come out!

Steve Mason * Sunday, April 28th * The Echo, LA  w/ Dark Furs and The Hummingbirds

[2 (by Kevin Morosky) 300dpi]Enigmatic Scottish recording artist Steve Mason of Beta Band / King Biscuit Time renown will be hitting The Echo April 28th .  In an extremely rare State-side tour Mason will be performing tracks from his startlingly impressive new album Monkey Minds in the Devil’s Time (available now on Double Six Records). Endlessly engaging, the album was inspired by the global political climate and the lack of dissenting voices in music and popular culture. A groovy protest album? Oh YES! !

" These songs count as the most winning and instantly anthemic that Mason has produced since the days when his old band was written into the High Fidelity screenplay, they’re buttressed by various cryptic interludes- narrative spoken-word snippets, squeaky melodica solos clashing with motorcylce-engine revs, dubby instrumentals overlaid with Portuguese car-race commentary - that reconnect him with the Beta Band’s exploratory ethos and deep sense of earthy groove." ) - Pitchfork (7.9)

“Politics can often waylay even the best musicians, but it seems to have the opposite effect on Mason here, inspiring him to create some of his finest and most thought-provoking material.” – Drowned in Sound

Adam Green and Binki Shapiro * Wednesday, May 1st * The Echo, LA &  Thursday May 2nd * The Constellation Room at the Observatory, Santa Ana

[Gen 2 - Lauren Dukof]Ready for summer? These guys have the perfect soundtrack! Following a hugely successful European tour Adam Green & Binki Shapiro will return to Binki’s native Los Angeles to headline their own show May 1st at The Echo! Catch the talented twosome perform songs from their critically acclaimed album, Adam Green and Binki Shapiro (available now on Rounder/Concord.) They're playing the following night at The Constellation Room in Santa Ana.

“Shapiro and Green are a match made in heaven who explore every corner of romantic hell.. it takes a knack to combine incisiveness with independently catchy tunes, but that this duo have the gift. The kiss-and-make-up follow-up record is going to have to be something very special.” – Drowned In Sound

“Adam Green and Binki Shapiro make quite the duo. Set to soft, vintage pop refrains, his deep resonance and her lullaby croon effortlessly complement one another.”  - Filter
