Stay tuned!

Kraak & Smaak at Doug Fir

Dutch breaks trio, Kraak & Smaak will be bringing their formidable live band to Doug Fir on Tuesday November 25th.  The Portland date was a last minute addition to their North American tour so get the word out there and make time to see these Dutch Masters!  They’re touring on the back of their recent album, Plastic People, which saw the band mix “banjo twang, disco suave synths, hints of a string orchestra, gypsy-tinged clarinet melody and soulful broken beat.”  Opening is Portland’s own, Afro Q ben.

Cut Copy & Presets in Portland

Cut Copy and The Presets both have new releases out.  If you’ve been a listener to our radio show you’re more than familiar with the latest Cut Copy release, In Ghost Colours. There is a ton of material on this release for our Chill Show program.  We love The Presets as well but their latests, Apocalypso is a little more hard hitting than their previous release Beams.  It’s still a great release but there’s really nothing to play on the Chill Show.  If you listen to our Cocktail Mix at 6 we have been playing “This boy’s in Love” both the original version and a remix.

Last time The Presets were in town they played a great show at The Wonder Ballroom.  Cut Copy played a sold out show at Doug Fir.  Both bands headlining at the Hawthorne Theater on October 7th is going to be a high energy affair.  Don’t miss it!

Thievery Announce Radio Retaliation

Thievery Corporation are set to drop their 5th studio album, entitled Radio Retaliation on September 23rd, 2008. Along with longtime microphone co-conspirators like Sleepy Wonder, Lou Lou, and Notch, Eric and Rob are joined this time by a new cast of musical collaborators including Nigeria’s afro-beat heir Femi Kuti, Brazilian star vocalist and guitarist Seu Jorge, Indian sitar virtuoso Anushka Shankar, Slovakian chanteuse and violinist Jana Andevska, and Washington DC’s own godfather of go-go Chuck Brown.

With an uncompromising socio-political agenda and richly layered production touching upon the eclectic sounds of Jamaica, Latin America, Africa, Asia and the Middle East, Radio Retaliation is Thievery Corporation’s broadest and most progressive album yet.

A pre-release will be available on iTunes on September 9th which will feature an exclusive non- album track available for two weeks leading up to the full release!

Be sure to take a listen to the official Radio Retaliation Sampler on Thievery’s MySpace (http://www.myspace.com/thieverycorporation).
