SUNDAY, JUNE 8
CEDAR CULTURAL CENTER
Yann Tiersen w/ NO
Infinity sounds like toy instruments?
Avant-garde minimalist Breton musician Yann Tiersen brings the back-to-basics sound of his earlier works full circle as he plays selections from his latest and 8th studio album, ∞ (Infinity) on Mute Records, an album that centers around the concept of stones-- a repeated theme in the work.
The multi-instrumentalist is best known for composing the soundtrack to French cult-hit Amélie and started the new album’s work with sounds from toy instruments, then electronically manipulating those, adding acoustic instrumentation, then strings, moving from analogue to digital, and back again. Ex-Arab Strap singer-songwriter Aidan Moffat lends his voice to the album closing and Celtic-tinged ‘Meteorite’and the live presentation of this latest work, should be interesting to say the least.
Echo Park, Los Angeles band NO, who wowed us back in March as part of their label’s showcase tour, opens the show, in continued promotion of their debut full-length, El Prado (Arts & Crafts). The six-piece are led by native New Zealander Bradley Carter, who has a baritone similar to The National’s Matt Berninger and a crowd inciting stage presence that is mesmerizing and infectious.

MONDAY, JUNE 9
7TH STREET ENTRY
Eagulls w/ Cheatahs
This ain’t no Hotel California…
Eagulls (NOT 'The Eagles') are a rising post-punk/garage rock band from Leeds, England that charges headlong with a discontented and relentless aggression that demands to be heard. Their video for single ‘Nerve Endings’ (featuring a decomposing pig’s brain) was more than controversial, but the buzz also landed them on The Late Show with David Letterman in late January, with the band serenading Letterman and guest Bill Murray on ‘Possessed’.
Their self-titled debut (on Partisan Records) is a mostly gloomy wall of sound that also brings an urgency and persistent tension missing in most music today. This is the kind of in-your-face rock that is reminiscent of The Sex Pistols playing a shoegazing version of Killing Joke – buckle your seatbelts.
Fellow English shoegazers, Cheatahs from London open the show, promoting their own self-titled full-length (on Wichita Recordings), who we saw last year opening for Waaves and FIDLAR.

TUESDAY, JUNE 10
DAKOTA JAZZ CLUB
World Party
The Arkeologist is back in the U.S.
Karl Wallinger brings his group, World Party, back to the States, their first such outing since 2012, for a month-long leg of shows, continuing support of Arkeology (Seaview Records), a massive 5-CD/70 track set of new songs, demos, rarities, and unreleased sessions. A new album is also in the works, so fingers are crossed the audiences will get a preview of some of the new work as well.
Wallinger has been steadily back on the scene since 2006, five years after a debilitating aneurysm left him unable to speak, and has a treasure trove of songs to draw from, via the box set and his five previous studio albums.
World Party tour dates:
