MEESE @ TWIST & SHOUT IN-STORE

| julio

Meese :: Larimer Lounge :: 03.03.09

The brothers Meese will be releasing their debut album, Broadcast (June 30th), and you can purchase it here.  In celebration   Meese will be doing an in-store performance at Twist and Shout, June 30th @ 6 PM. They will also be playing the Westword Music Showcase next month, alongside, Built to Spill and a Place to Bury Strangers, amongst other notable local acts. The future looks pretty bright for these Cleveland transplants (I won’t hold it against them because they’re Cavs fans) because they are touring with some very notable acts in support of the new album. I caught them a couple of months ago, when the group surprised the Larimer Lounge crowd with a performance of the new album, in it’s entirety!  Did I mention that it was smashing?

STEVE EARLE

A VERY SPECIAL IN-STORE PERFORMANCE

MAY 15 AT 6 P.M.

Twist & Shout is very please to announce a free in-store performance by Steve Earle on Friday, May 15 at 6 p.m., in celebration of his upcoming album Townes (to be released 5/12). Fans can pre-purchase Townes at Twist & Shout and get a poster as well as a wristband that will guarantee entry into this exclusive event. KBCO will be here to broadcast the event live on the air.

Steve Earle’s new album Townes, is his highly anticipated follow up to the Grammy Award winning album Washington Square Serenade. The 15-song set is comprised of songs written by Earle’s friend and mentor, the late singer-songwriter, Townes Van Zandt. The songs selected for Townes were the ones that meant the most to Earle and the ones he personally connected to. Some of the selections chosen were songs that Earle has played his entire career (“Pancho and Lefty,” “Lungs,” “White Freightliner Blues”). He learned the song “(Quicksilver Daydreams of) Maria” directly from Van Zandt, and taught himself “Marie and Rake” specifically for making this record. Earle recorded the New York sessions solo and then added the other instruments later on in order to preserve the spirit of Van Zandt’s original solo performances to the best of his recollection. The track “Lungs” was produced and mixed by Dust Brothers’ John King and features Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine/The Nightwatchman on electric guitar. The album also features Earle’s wife Allison Moorer. Townes will also be available as a deluxe 2-CD set as well as double Limited Edition 180 gram vinyl.

Come down to Twist & Shout to pre-purchase Steve Earle’s new album Townes (on either format) and receive a poster and a wristband that will guarantee entry into this very special and exclusive event!
