Charli XCX is an iconic figure in the arts, having helped expand the landscape of popular music over the last decade by seamlessly traversing the underground and the mainstream with her artistic output. Charli’s innovative approach has opened up new possibilities within the pop sphere for both her own career and those of the rising artists she has supported over the years.
Charli XCX released ‘Good Ones’ in September, the first single from her fifth studio album which will release early 2022. ‘Good Ones’ marks a new chapter with Charli embracing all that the life of a mainstream popstar has to offer in today’s multi-sensory-driven world - fame, sex, glamour, and global hits. In August, Charli also featured on ‘Out Out’ by Joel Corry and Jax Jones, alongside Saweetie, a track that has now been a global top ten record for over 8 weeks.
‘Charli XCX’s Best Song Ever’ is Charli’s first standalone podcast commencing in August with episodes releasing across twenty weeks. Commissioned by BBC Sounds, Charli will examine and celebrate the power music has to move us and express our emotions with guests including Beabadobee, Mark Ronson, Barbie Ferreira, Christine and the Queens, Caroline Polachek, and many more.
A singer, songwriter, documentary maker, radio host and record label boss, Charli’s story is one of an artist who continues to succeed without compromise. Over the course of her trailblazing career, Charli has earned critical acclaim for her forward-thinking music style and entrepreneurial spirit. Charli won the Variety Hitmakers award for ‘Innovator of Pop’ and was Mercury Prize ‘Album of the Year’ shortlisted for the release of her album how I’m feeling now which she created from scratch in five weeks from her home in Los Angeles during the 2020 COVID-19 lockdown.
how i’m feeling now garnered huge critical acclaim as an emotionally raw, relentlessly progressive sonic world, placing a further spotlight on Charli’s status as one of the most adaptable, exciting pop artists of current times. The creative process was also to push Charli’s collaborative stream in a unique way; opening up the process of recording, writing, artwork, music videos and more to fans for feedback and contribution - she also further inspired her fans’ creativity, allowing them access to song stems to create remixes and greenscreen footage to be edited using their own imagination. $50,000 in album merch proceeds were donated to LA Alliance for Human Rights, an organisation who advocate for the Los Angeles homeless peoples.
Previously in 2019 Charli had released her third studio album, Charli, which marked a huge advancement in her sound as well as some of her most personal lyrical content yet, featuring collaborations with global superstars such as Lizzo, Troye Sivan and HAIM alongside future game changers such as Kim Petras, Christine and the Queens, Yaeji and Clairo. The album’s coinciding sold-out tour proved to be her most expansive yet - including a 27-date North American run and her biggest headline show so far at a sold-out London Brixton Academy. For this album Charli received her first BRIT nomination for British Female Solo Artist, marking a huge moment of validation from a mainstream audience that she has built on her own terms.
An ally to the community, Charli collaborates with some of the world’s most exciting LGBTQI+ artists, using her platform to help amplify the voices, and in turn the experiences, of these artists - a trait that led in part to Charli being named as Gay Times’ Ally Of The Year for 2019. More recently Charli produced an Instagram series titled ‘An Audience With…’ whereby she invited a range of activists working in the LGBTQI+ space to each individually takeover her Instagram and draw attention to important causes and organizations, encouraging fans to take action.
A one-woman force within the industry, Charli’s relentless work rate extends to writing for other artists while releasing her own music, running her own Vroom Vroom Recordings label, directing music videos, and managing developing artists including rising alt-pop songwriter ELIO, emo-inspired teenage sensation daine, and all female band Nasty Cherry - a group she formed that has been documented on the 2019 Netflix TV series I’m With The Band.
Charli has accrued two Billboard Music Awards, a YouTube Music Award, two Sesac ‘Songwriter of the Year’ Awards, plus nominations at the Grammys, BRIT Awards and MTV EMAs. Not to mention the studio time she’s commanded with the likes of Blondie, Selena Gomez [Charli co-wrote her U.S. No.1“Same Old Love”], Gwen Stefani, Camila Cabello & Shawn Mendes, Benny Blanco, David Guetta, Zara Larsson, Khalid and Diplo.
Charli is a formative image-maker and editorially she creates visuals that amplify her music by mirroring the emotion and deeper messages of her songwriting. Charli has appeared on the cover of magazines including The Fader, Paper, GQ, Gay Times, ES Magazine, Crack, Billboard, V Magazine, Nylon, Guardian Weekend, NME, Teen Vogue, Jalouse and more.
Looking further back, 2018 proved to be a stellar year. Following a series of tracks drops – ‘5 In The Morning’, ‘No Angel’, ‘Focus’ and ‘Girls Night Out’, – heralded mixtape shows, which she brought to the UK and Europe and a global support tour with Taylor Swift, Charli returned with a throwback UK Top 15 smash, “1999” feat. Troye Sivan. The accompanying video, which sits at over 43m views, was directed by Charli and paid homage to standout cultural references from the year of 1999.
Armed with an attitude to dropping music that flipped the industry hegemony of release structure on its head, Charli’s groundbreaking 2017 mixtapes Number 1 Angel and Pop 2, as well as the standout summer crush anthem “Boys”, established her reputation as a singular talent with a defiant attitude. Those releases were instrumental in establishing Charli’s keen ear for underground artists, spotlighting the likes of CupcakKe, ABRA, Tommy Cash and Pablo Vittar - helping to change the landscape of pop worldwide and take the genre to new heights.
Charli started to release music in 2008 and has continuously strived to take the road less traveled throughout her career, with her debut album True Romance setting a benchmark for avant-garde pop music. This created a trajectory that has seen her write some of the world’s biggest hits (Icona Pop’s ‘I Love It’, Iggy Azalea’s ‘Fancy’, Camila Cabello & Shawn Mendes’ ’Senorita'), while embracing pop’s most uninhibited sounds within her own work - gaining her a following that began in an internet cult capacity before spreading worldwide - assembling her own world via her fandom, affectionately called the Angels.

Walker Hayes would like to make it clear that he does not consider himself a “good” dancer. “I would say I'm naturally the guy that's going to find himself out on the dance floor at some point, embarrassing his family before the night's over,” he says with a chuckle of his moves.
But thanks to a little hip shimmy, a lot of heart, and a helping hand from his daughter Lela, the Mobile, AL native finds himself with a major hit on his hands with his No. 1 single “Fancy Like.” The irresistible tune was recently certified RIAA Platinum in just the three short months since its release.
The ode to enjoying the simple things in life — like date night at Applebee’s and some Natty Light — was released in June as part of Hayes’s EP Country Stuff. From stone country storytelling to sleek pop flourishes, the EP covers a wide swath of ground over the course of 6 songs including the upbeat Jake Owen-featuring title track, the poignant closing ballad “Briefcase” written with award-winning singer-songwriter Lori McKenna, and “What If We Did,” a love song in reverse featuring Carly Pearce.
It is the frothy “Fancy Like” however, that seized its rightful position as the song of the summer ‘21 after Hayes and his daughter Lela choreographed a dance to the tune and posted it on TikTok.
“Completely uncalculated,” is how Hayes describes the genesis of the song and the laid-back session with his co-writers Cameron Bartolini, Josh Jenkins, and Shane Stevens that spawned it. The quartet discussed a variety of topics, including Jesus, for several hours, and the song, recalling date nights with wife Laney, flowed easily. He then sent it to co-producer Joe Thibodeau.
“He's the secret ingredient,” says Hayes of the producer, who had previously done a popular remix of Hayes’ certified platinum hit “You Broke Up With Me.” “He really thickens up the track to live amongst all those great songs on the radio. The key for me always is ‘Does the song groove?’ And this song, without a doubt, does.” With multi-GRAMMY Award winner Shane McAnally executive producing the track, it was a recipe for success.
Lela had been living with that groove around the house for a while and had a lightbulb moment. “One way Lela and I have bonded during the shutdown was doing TikTok dances and she knew ‘Fancy Like’ was coming out and she said it needed a dance.”
“It took us about 30 minutes to create it. It took me about 30 more minutes to learn it —Lela learns as fast as she creates them— and then we actually did two takes. The video we posted was our second take. Our first take, we didn't like the positioning of the flamingo in the background,” says the father of six with a laugh. “That was on a Sunday afternoon. And by Sunday night we had about a million views.”
To date the clip has amassed over 28.4 million views and literally circulated the globe with parents, siblings, friends, and co-workers of all ages, shapes and races showing off their “Fancy Like” steps. “When I was doing the Macarena in the '90s, I was never thinking,‘One day, I'm going to invent one of these,’” says Hayes with a chuckle of the viral phenomenon.
(The song has gotten so big that you can thank Hayes for the return of the Oreo Cookie Shake to Applebee’s. The restaurant chain is featuring “Fancy Like” in its ad campaign celebrating the cookie confection name-checked in the song. You’ll also find a photo of Hayes and wife Laney sipping one in the menu of every Applebee’s in America.)
Hayes still can’t quite believe the response. “It is wild that such a small concept like Laney and I going to Applebee's is so universal,” he says. “I mean, that's what we've been doing since high school. We met in 11th grade and several of our first dates were to Applebee's, and that's what we ordered! It's funny to think it would translate to different languages and other countries because me and my daughter were just having a fun Sunday afternoon. Sometimes I swear music is magic.” The magic will enchant an even wider audience no doubt when Kesha hops aboard the familiar roll and tumble for a pop remix out Sept. 10th.
“Kesha loves country music, and she loved the song,” says Hayes of the Nashville native and pop star, adding with a laugh, “and, I didn't know this, but she loves Applebee's! She was so kind and generous with her time and her excitement was infectious about writing a new part. We strategized how, where and what she should add to it, and it's brilliant,” he says of the shine she adds to the remix. “The song is 10 times cooler now.”
Hayes is determined to enjoy this ride while it’s happening. “I feel like every day is another pinch me moment,” he says. “It's been quite a journey for us. I mean, we're looking at 17 years here in Nashville, it would have been safe to say I've reached my peak, and that if I could have stayed on cruise control there, I would have had a nice life as an artist and a writer. But this is just out of the blue. We'll take it.”
It’s been especially sweet to enjoy the spotlight with his daughter. “As far as the whole music thing, she's seen a lot of behind-the-scenes stuff, but she is loving this. The fact that we can share this together for the rest of our lives, I don't know how to put a price tag on that.”

After more than five years as a band, The Band Camino have never felt more confident in their music. Now, they have a self-titled album to prove it. The Band Camino, due Sept. 10 on dblblk/Elektra Records, expands on the guitar-driven pop that the group introduced with their anthemic debut EP tryhard in 2019. The pop-rock three-piece (singers/guitarists Jeffery Jordan and Spencer Stewart, and drummer Garrison Burgess) have been honing their dynamic Band Camino sound since relocating from Memphis to Nashville in 2018. It was a fateful move for founding members Jeffery and Spencer, college buddies-turned-bandmates who were in search of a drummer and recruited Garrison upon arriving in Music City.
“As soon as we played the first show together, we knew we hit it off,” Jeffery recalls. Garrison agrees: “There was this instant chemistry, and everybody on the team could feel it. Everybody's very appreciative of each other and what they bring to the table. It was cool to be part of something that was growing and was bigger than me, and bigger than each of them. It was magic.”
That magic has seemingly been evident to fans, too. The Band Camino completely sold out their 2018 and 2019 headlining tours, as well as their biggest headlining show to date at Nashville’s Ryman Auditorium in September 2021 -- the latter of which sold out in 10 minutes. But the group has clearly made an impact since their start, garnerning 2.6 million monthly Spotify listeners and more than 330 million global streams to date. Their growth has been largely stimulated by raw discovery, even catching the attention of Taylor Swift, who included the band’s reflective song “Berenstein” on her “Songs I’m Loving Right Now” playlist in 2018.
Garrison’s addition came at a pivotal time for The Band Camino creatively, as 2018 was also the beginning of their partnerships with Nashville superproducer Jordan Schmidt and singer-songwriter Seth Ennis. “That was a big season of when everything changed,” Jeffery says, calling tryhard’s roaring lead single, “Daphne Blue,” the “turning point” for the band. “Right after we wrote it, we were like, ‘We have something different here, and this kind of defines where we're headed.’” Echoes Spencer, “It gave us a different vision of what we could be.”
“Daphne Blue” took the group’s production from lo-fi to stadium-ready, ramping up their electric guitars and drums, and letting their powerful vocals soar. That amplified sound reaches new heights on The Band Camino, a 14-track showcase of the group’s multifaceted soundscape that features ‘80s synths in punchy tunes such as “I Think I Like You,” arena-rock anthems including rollicking single “1 Last Cigarette,” and heartfelt moments like the introspective “Who Do You Think You Are.” The trio recorded the entire album over a month-long stay at the iconic Sonic Ranch in Tornillo, Texas, where they, as Jeffery puts it, “rode this wave of creativity” alongside Jordan Schmidt and executive producer Jameson Roper last fall. All but two of the songs are the result of the band’s unexpected downtime during quarantine in 2020, when Garrison says their songwriting “went into overdrive.”
The guys' resounding favorite is “Underneath My Skin," a spirited tale of dysfunctional love. Yet, they all agree that the two most Band Camino-esque tracks are “Roses” and “Look Up” because of their “don’t take life for granted” sentiments. Spencer asserts that sharing a meaningful message has always been one of the most important facets of The Band Camino’s music, even when it comes in a more somber form like the album’s goosebump-inducing breakup ballad “Help Me Get Over You.” Outside of that track and the acoustic confessional “Sorry Mom,” the rest of the new material masks any melancholy lyrics with infectious melodies and upbeat vibes, immediately evidenced on the album’s bluntly titled kickoff “Everybody Dies.”
The Band Camino’s juxtaposing creative approach has become even more effective as their sound has elevated, with one constant carrying throughout their entire catalog: relatability. “Art feels like it's a reflection of society, emotions, and relationships, and it's supposed to make you feel understood. With the songs we wrote, we hope we can continue to make people feel understood and that you're not alone in whatever you feel,” Jeffery says, excitedly adding, “and that bands are back, baby!”
Jeffery, Spencer, and Garrison are eager to usher in a new wave of bands in today’s solo act-dominated pop world. “We want to make music for the people who listen to everything. We want people to be able to listen to Justin Bieber and then listen to The Band Camino back-to-back," Jeffery declares. With that goal in mind, the band promises to continue pushing boundaries as the rock band of the pop generation. "We've always just wanted to make music that we would want to listen to," Jeffery says.
“I hope that we're around long enough to get made fun of,” Spencer adds with a laugh. “and that we're so popular that one day people hate us because we've been around for so long.”
With an opening slot on Dan + Shay’s 2021 U.S. Tour and an impactful album in their future, The Band Camino are certainly on their way to long-term success. According to Jeffery, he and his bandmates are more than primed for that: "We're ready to keep doing this forever."

Bringing together music and performance art, Kraftwerk 3-D concerts are a true "Gesamtkunstwerk –a total work of art.”
The multi-media project Kraftwerk was started in 1970 by Ralf Hütter and Florian Schneider. They set up their electronic Kling Klang Studio in Düsseldorf, Germany, where they conceived and produced all Kraftwerk albums.
By the mid1970’s Kraftwerk had achieved international recognition for their revolutionary electronic ‚sound scapes’ and their musical experimentation with robotics and other technical innovations.With their visions of the future, Kraftwerk created the soundtrack for the digital age of the 21st century.
Their compositions, using innovative techniques, synthetic voices and computerised rhythms, have had a major international influence across an entire range of music genres: from Electro to Hip Hop, from Techno to SynthPop.
In their live performances, Kraftwerk –Ralf Hütter, Henning Schmitz, Fritz Hilpert, Falk Grieffenhagen –illustrate their belief in the respective contributions of both man and machine.
Starting with the retrospective of their Catalogue at the Museum of Modern Art in New Yorkin 2012, in recent years Kraftwerk have returned full circle back to their originswithinthe Düsseldorf art scene of the late Sixties.
The 3-D concert series at MoMA was followed by further presentations at Tate Modern Turbine Hall (London), Akasaka Blitz (Tokyo) Opera House (Sydney), Walt Disney Concert Hall (Los Angeles), Fondation Louis Vuitton (Paris), Neue National Galerie (Berlin) and Guggenheim Museum (Bilbao).
In 2014 Ralf Hütter and his former partner were honoured with the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award.

Widely renowned as one of the most popular and influential bands to come out of the American underground in the last three decades, Pavement are Stephen Malkmus, Scott “Spiral Stairs” Kannberg, Mark Ibold, Bob Nastanovich and Steve West . The band released five era-defining albums – Slanted And Enchanted (1992), Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain (1994), Wowee Zowee (1995), Brighten The Corners (1997) and Terror Twilight (1999) – before disbanding in 1999. Pavement’s 2010 reunion saw them play four sold out benefit shows in Central Park and top the bills of worldwide festivals including Coachella, Reading & Leeds, Primavera Sound and Pitchfork Festival.
What went down during the intervening decade? A fair amount of fantasy sports, probably. Pavement also saw a b-side, “Harness Your Hopes,” turn into an improbable algorithmic “hit” on digital platforms. The band’s catalogue has seen a myriad of incarnations and bonus material unearthed, including career-spanning 2010 compilation Quarantine The Past, 2015 rarities collection A Secret History, Vol 1, deluxe editions of the band’s first four studio albums, and a 2019 picture disc commemorating the 25th anniversary of Wowee Zowee.

We have updated health and safety requirements for fans coming to see Patty Griffin at ACL Live on November 20,2021
At the request of Patty, and for the safety of ALL - masks are required and must remain in place unless actively eating or drinking.
All attendees of this event are required to have received a negative PCR COVID-19 test within 48 hours prior to entering the venue. Guests not wishing to provide a negative test result can voluntarily show proof of full vaccination instead. In attending the event, you certify and attest that you and all individuals in your party attending the event will abide by the following regulations:
- All attendees must provide printed proof of a negative COVID-19 PCR test obtained within 48 hours prior to entering the venue.
- In lieu of a negative test result, guests fully vaccinated against COVID-19 (at least two weeks after final dose) at the time of the event may instead provide proof of vaccination- either the original vaccination card or a printed copy of the vaccination card.
These regulations will apply to all members of your party (including children) before they are allowed entry to the event and to any users of the tickets purchased by you.
Patty Griffin is among the most consequential singer-songwriters of her generation, a quintessentially American artist whose wide-ranging canon incisively explores the intimate moments and universal emotions that bind us together.
Over the course of two decades, the 2x GRAMMY® Award winner – and 7x nominee – has crafted a remarkable body of work in progress that prompted the New York Times to hail her for “[writing] cameo-carved songs that create complete emotional portraits of specific people…[her] songs have independent lives that continue in your head when the music ends.” 2019 saw the acclaimed release of the renowned artist’s GRAMMY® Award-winning 10th studio recording, PATTY GRIFFIN, available now via her own PGM Recordings label via Thirty Tigers HERE. One of the most deeply personal recordings of Griffin’s remarkable two-decade career and first-ever eponymous LP, PATTY GRIFFIN made a top 5 debut on Billboard’s “Independent Albums” chart amidst unprecedented worldwide acclaim, and later, a prestigious GRAMMY® Award for “Best Folk Album.”
In addition to her creative career, Griffin has also devoted considerable energy and focus towards the wellbeing of the planet as well as showing compassion for the less fortunate among us via personal and public acts of charity. Having crafted a rich catalog that chronicles love and death, heartache and joy, connection and detachment, Patty Griffin continues to push her art forward, as always imbuing every effort with compassion and craft, uncanny perception, and ever-increasing ingenuity.
