Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds Coming To The Louisville Palace June 16,2014

Posted in Entertainment by sceneandheardblog on November 18, 2013

Following a wildly captivating — and completely sold out — North American tour in early 2013, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds return to the U.S. in the summer of 2014 to take care of some unfinished business.

Throughout this jaunt, the band will be bringing their fervent live show to familiar cities as well as municipalities that have yet to be graced (or confronted) with a Bad Seeds live experience.

On November 14th, Nick Cave partnered with the Association of Alternative Newspapers (AAN) for a special invitation-only web press conference. During this conference, journalists from AAN-member publications were able to ask Nick questions about Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds’ upcoming tour, current & past albums and a variety of other subjects. Today, readers of AAN-member publications will receive priority access to a special ticket 24 hour pre-sale on November 19 for the newly announced 2014 dates. Along with the pre-sale, readers are also able to download “The Mercy Seat” and “Mermaids” from the forthcoming Live From KCRW album from altweeklies.com and leoweekly.com.

This tour announcement precedes the release of Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds’ Live From KCRW (Bad Seed Ltd). The fourth official live album in the band’s catalog will feature stripped-down songs from the band’s most recent studio album, Push the Sky Away, as well as other tracks from their discography. Live From KCRW will be available November 29th in both CD and double vinyl formats exclusively at Record Store Day stores. The vinyl edition will include bonus tracks “Into My Arms” and “God Is In The House.” A full list of Record Store Day distributors can be found at www.recordstoreday.com/VenuesLive From KCRW will see wide release digitally on December 3. The album will also be available as a digital deluxe bundle with Push the Sky Away.

LINEROCKET PRESENTS 2ND ANNUAL LIFE IN COLOR CONCERT WITH SEBASTIAN INGROSSO & KREWELLA

 

Legendary DJ/Producer Sebastian Ingrosso and EDM sensation Krewella are set to headline the 2nd annual Life In Color concert at Bader Field in Atlantic City on December 28th, 2013. The doors open at 7PM and tickets are on sale now at www.linerocket.com.

Life in Color is “The World’s Largest Paint Party” and is nationally recognized as a one-of-a-kind concert experience featuring cutting-edge LED production and some of the most high-profile performers in the world.

Sebastian Ingrosso is one of the most prolific musical talents across the globe. As 1/3 of the prestigious DJ trio Swedish House Mafia, Ingrosso has headlined some of the largest music festivals and performed for crowds of over 100,000 people. He is also a world famous music producer, manufacturing numerous #1 songs on Beatport including “Reload” and “Calling (Lose My Mind)”. In addition, he has produced music for some of the biggest names in the music industry, including Kylie Minogue, Usher, and Britney Spears.

In 2012, Krewella burst onto the electronic dance music circuit with their debut video Killin’ It, showcasing their innovative brand of dubstep-infused tunes highlighted by melodic female vocals. They are currently embarking on their international 55-date sold out tour  on the heels of their debut album Get Wet, which charted in the Top 10 of Billboard’s Hot 200 in its first week. Krewella recently teamed up with charity organization Dance For Paralysis to help raise money and awareness for people living with paralysis. Founder Thomas E. Smith says, “It is truly an honor to work with Krewella and together we will work towards finding a permanent cure for paralysis”. LineRocket and Dance for Paralysis have plans to bring paralyzed teens from the local hospital to enjoy the show in the front row and to meet the 3 members of Krewella backstage.

In 2013, LineRocket hosted Steve Aoki, Tommy Trash, and Adventure Club on New Year’s Eve at Bader Field. The event sold out in rapid fashion and attracted thousands to the largest heated tent in America. LineRocket CEO Josh Heffler said, “The heated tent, star-studded lineup and top notch production provided attendees with the ideal concert experience. We expect this year’s event to top the success of the last one” The supporting acts for Sebastian Ingrosso and Krewella will be Dyro and Bow n’ Arrow, with more artists to be announced soon.
