[hot off the press] Big Black Delta + M83

Jonathan Bates aka Big Black Delta, former touring guitarist for M83, has been asked to open for the group at Club Nokia next week. Anthony Gonzalez and Bates have collaborated together since Bates began his solo project Big Black Delta in 2010. Bates contributed vocals to M83’s highly praised album Hurry Up, We’re Dreaming and produced an official remix of M83’s stellar single “Midnight City.” Together Bates and Gonzalez also produced a remix of Daft Punk’s “Fall” on the TRON: LEGACY R3CONFIGUR3D soundtrack.

Although Big Black Delta’s soundscapes are composed single-handedly in the modest confines of Bate’s home studio on a laptop, the live show is an experience unto itself. Live vocals, dancing, orchestrated light show, and dueling female drummers (Mahsa Zargaran and Amy Wood) make Big Black Delta’s set electrifying.

Big Big Black Delta and M83 will share the stage at Club Nokia on January 12th and 13th for two nights you won’t want to miss! [source: planetary group]

[on the road] The Mowgli’s

The Los Angeles based indie folk rock group, The Mowgli’s, will be playing a series of shows late this December and January in the Los Angeles area.  They will be making stops at The Roxy, Moscow at Boardners, and the Bootleg Theater alongside the likes of Death!Death!Die!, Jason Ellis, COYOL, and Molly Marlette.

The Mowgli’s are quite simply a group of friends who love nothing more than to make music together, listen to music together, and grow musically from one another. Blending country, blues, and folk with classic Rock n Roll, they add poetic lyrics that they hope people all over the world can feel. Best known and appreciated for their energetic stage presence, The Mowgli’s put on a show that the audience feels happy to be a part of. At the beginning and end of it all, The Mowgli’s are a California band with California soul. [source]

DATES:
12.21 Los Angeles, CA @ The Roxy w/ Death!Death!Die! and Jason Ellis
12.28 Los Angeles, CA @ Moscow w/ TBA
1.8 Los Angeles, CA @ Bootleg Theater w/ COYOL, Molly Marlette
