Omar Souleyman is a Syrian musical legend. Since 1994, he and his musicians – Rizan Said keyboard and Ali Shaker Ali – bozouk - have emerged as a staple of folk-pop throughout Syria, but until now they have remained little known outside of the country. To date, he has issued more than five-hundred studio and live-recorded cassette albums which are easily spotted in the shops of any Syrian city.
From rural Northeastern Syria, Omar began his musical career in 1994 with a small group of local collaborators that remain with him today. The myriad musical traditions of the region are evident in their music. Here, classical Arabic mawal-style vocalization gives way to high-octane Syrian Dabke (the regional folkloric dance and party music), Iraqi Choubi and a host of Arabic, Kurdish and Turkish styles, among others.
Together, they commonly perform the Ataba, a traditional form of folk poetry used in Dabke. Souleyman’s first hit in Syria was "Jani" (1996) which gained cassette-kiosk infamy and brought him recognition throughout the country. Over the years, his popularity has risen steadily and the group tirelessly performs concerts throughout Syria and has accepted invitations to perform abroad in Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Lebanon. |

Listening to Danger is like taking care of the time without feeling late, since hours are as well evocative as feelings for Franck Rivoire, the man behind the Danger phenomenon. With only three releases, he became a key figure in the French electro scene post Justice.
More than mere music, Danger, who was strongly influenced by video games as a teenager, creates a full-fledged universe in which dynamism, surprising structures and sought textures interact and complement each other between his artwork and his music.
Danger has proven to be able to reach a wide audience also through remixes for such artists as Sebastien Tellier, Estelle feat. Kanye West, Black Eyed Peas, La Roux or Midnight Juggernauts.
Live, Danger is a war machine deploying a stunning and epic new show where music, beats and visual effects are mixed for creating a unique atmosphere. Being at a Danger concert is like a travel, like discovering a universe through an adventure full of strong symbol and references. |

Live Nation and 99.3 The Fox Present:
Wintersleep
with guests
Celebrating the June 12th release of their new album, Hello Hum, Wintersleep announce intimate shows A decade after their conception, Wintersleep – who can now be referred to as ‘Juno Award winners’ in promotional documents such as this - have brought their distinctive sound to audiences across many territories and continents. The band’s latest trek was in support of 2010's New Inheritors, an album that the Wall Street Journal claims, "broods, bellows and stalks the listener with soaring vocals, punching drums and waves of guitars." It saw them perform across North America, the UK, Ireland, continental Europe, and ended under the receptive lights of The Late Show with David Letterman.

East Van Soul Club
Doors at 9:00pm
Tickets $7.00 at the door
The East Van Soul Club is both a two-man DJ crew (Jarrod "SlimRoy" O'Dell and Jonny "Jack Spang" Grayston) and also a vinyl-only monthly dance party, operated by these aforementioned soul obsessives. Sounds cover the spectrum of 60s soul regions and styles, blazing with Motown and Stax chart-toppers and raiding a decade full of criminally-unheard rarities with cuts out of New York, Philadelphia, Chicago, San Francisco, and everywhere inbetween. Tracks that you know will fuel the party, interspersed with floorfillers you've never heard before but can't possibly understand why not.
Join the Facebook group (http://www.facebook.com/groups/eastvansoulclub),
follow us on the Twitter (@EastVanSoulClub), and come see what everyone is talking about.
Second Friday of every month at The Biltmore Cabaret.

The Thurlow sisters taught themselves to play guitar as teenagers, but it wasn't until the closing moments of 2010 that the very first lo-fi 2:54 home demos leaked onto the web, prompting a flurry of critical acclaim that's only ever grown with the band. They became the act that all the best bands around wanted on the road with them, touring with everyone from Warpaint and Wild Beasts to Melissa Auf De Maur, Yuck, The Maccabees and most recently, The Big Pink. Their debut limited seven-inch 'On A Wire' whetted critics appetites, consolidating plaudits that have now reached everywhere from revered US critics like Pitchfork, SPIN, Fader, Gorilla Versus Bear and Stereogum, to UK bibles like NME, Q magazine, Kerrang, and onto the radars of broadsheet press like The Guardian, The Times and The Independent. Signing to Fiction (The Cure, Crystal Castles etc) mid last year, the Scarlet EP gave the world the first taste of the forthcoming long-player with its title track, plus three hard-hitting B-sides. Its hazy, leviathan sound was hypnotically hooky, feeling both alien and familiar at the same time. The recent Pitchfork premiere of their latest single 'You're Early' revealed a more groove-focused side to the band, a brazenly infectious stormer of a song. |
