Book & Stage A polished, masculine and comfortable setting, Book & Stage is a daytime live sports viewing lounge and by evening becomes a music performance-centric venue with popular acts. The following acts will be playing at Book & Stage:
Tennis Tennis, consisting of guitarist Patrick Riley and vocalist Alaina Moore, met while studying philosophy in college. Motivated by stories shared by sailors, the two sold their collective possessions, bought an old sailboat and embarked on a 7-month journey along the Eastern seaboard. Upon their return, and in search of an outlet to catalog their experience, the couple began writing and performing music together. Friday, April 1 - Saturday, April 2 from 10:00PM - 11:00PM and 12:00AM - 1:00AM
The Knocks Based out of the Lower East Side of Manhattan, the Knocks are emerging as a force to be reckoned with as far as music production is concerned. Consisting of Ben "B-Roc" Ruttner and James "JPatt" Patterson, the Knocks are named in reference to the early days of their production career when they worked out of their home studios and their complaining neighbors would pound on the walls and ceilings. Years later, they have upgraded to the HeavyRoc Music Studio in Chinatown and are making names for themselves finding and developing talent as well as remixing the likes of other artists and bands. Monday, April 4 - Wednesday, April 6 from 10:00PM - 10:40PM
Ellie Goulding Ellie Goulding is a complicated thing in a seemingly simple package. On first hearing, she's a bright and shiny 22-year-old singer-songwriter, with her fingers on her guitar, her feet in a nightclub and her head in the heavens. But very few singer-songwriters, young or old, can flip between dance-til-you-drop euphoria and wistful, journeying space-folk, between lyrics that talk obliquely about sleeping around and those that pin-point the love-hate relationship every leaver has about their home town. Very few can do all that and leave us with enchantment, curious romance and, somehow, a sense of vastness, of travel, of space and time. It's pop, but not as we know it. Monday, April 4 - Wednesday, April 6 from 11:00PM - 12:00AM
Marina & The Diamonds Marina (& The Diamonds) Diamandis is the complete songwriter/performer. 50% Greek, 50%Welsh, 100% frolicking fairytale creature. A girl with virtually no musical schooling, for whom heart scorching choruses miraculously seem to appear at the tips of her fingers with each preposterous limb fling. A voice that both lures sailors to shores and wards ships from rocks. A mind that hacks apart the fabric of Now and serves it up in an ice-cream sundae for all to guzzle down. A performer whose onstage movement has been reminding lackluster gig-goers across the land the true meaning of 'show time.' Thursday, April 7 - Saturday, April 9 from 10:30PM - 12:00AM
Gamble House "Gamble House embroiders, but seldom clutters, unpretentious tunes and understated vocals with woozy harmonies, organic dynamics and knits of acoustic, oft-arcane instrumentation (including banjo and glockenspiel). It's ethereal, lip-chewing stuff all right, but they allow themselves a carnivalesque, slightly celebratory side evoking some prancing Wicker Man-y procession -- full of color and culture, yet knowing way too much to be truly happy," says from LA Weekly's Paul Rogers. Sunday, April 10 - Tuesday, April 12 and Sunday, April 24 - Tuesday, April 26 from 10:00PM - 11:00PM and 12:00AM - 1:00AM
Chairlift Chairlift, a multi-instrumental trio operating out of Brooklyn, New York, play hypnotic, atmospheric pop music, combining colorful melodies with spare and sophisticated arrangements, a global, post-scarcity worldview, and an avant-garde sensibility embracing the future. Wednesday, April 13 - Saturday, April 16 from 10:00PM - 11:00PM and 12:00AM - 1:00AM
Lady Dottie and the Diamonds An Alabama-bred fireball, Lady Dottie is a soulful woman in her early 60s named Dorothy Mae Whitsett. Singing everywhere from the kitchen to the pulpit, she's curvier than Lombard and got more gumption than a pack of wolves. She's a tambourine-toting, hip gyrating powerhouse with a sultry voice that will leave you trembling. Sunday, April 17 - Tuesday, April 19 from 10:00PM - 11:00PM and 12:00AM - 1:00AM
Kisses So what's in a kiss? For Jesse Kivel (one half of the band along with keys and backing vocalist Zinzi Edmundson), it can mean everything, even if only for a second. "I want to write songs that takes people out of their everyday lives" he says from Kisses LA HQ (let's imagine he's poolside, sipping a margarita). "Great pop music is about escape. Kisses is about entering into another world." Wednesday, April 20 - Saturday, April 23 from 10:00PM - 11:00 PM and 12:00 AM - 1:00 AM
Jared Lee Recently signed to a worldwide publishing deal with Chrysalis Music, Jared Lee just wrapped production on his debut album with producer Mike K (Nelly Furtado, Natasha Bedingfield). Armed with a stack of r&b infused pop-rock songs, Jared's music is full of radio-ready anthemic choruses, soaring guitars, powerful drums, and highlighted with soulful vocals that cut right to the core. Wednesday, April 27 - Friday, April 29 from 10:00PM - 11:00PM and 12:00AM - 1:00AM
100 Monkeys From of the City of Angels comes 100 Monkeys, a band described by SPIN.com as "funk rock" and by RollingStone.com as "tribal sounds with vocals recalling Jim Morrison's baritone croon." Beyond Race Magazine says they are "sing-along-worthy, sometimes bluesy" and MTV.com describes them as a mix of "Iggy Pop with the Raconteurs." 100 Monkeys, however, jest that their music is purely "onomatopoetic, but for the sake of simplicity, we'll call it funky rock-n-roll." Saturday, April 30 from 10:00PM - 11:00PM and 12:00AM - 1:00AM
Bond Bond, a rhythmic and vibrant hot-spot, features a mash-up of dynamic LED art, live performances & upbeat house music in an energetic ultra lounge setting. The following acts will be performing at Bond:
Lance Herbstrong Through stream-of-consciousness aural atmospherics, Lance Herbstrong takes you on a trip, sustaining musical momentum with sonic layers propelling the rhythms. The result is music that is ethereal and organic, of the air and of the earth, and always moving. Creating dubby landscapes isn't without cost, as the band is quick to point out, "Many plants have been sacrificed in the making of this music." Friday, April 1 - Saturday, April 2 from 10:00PM - 3:00AM
