Battle Of The Gentle Bands.

Sigur Rós, Wilco, Ghostface Killah, Wild Flag and many awesome bands set to perform this year.

“Swing Lo Magellan” will be out in July.

It’s about time.

It’s only natural for Dirty Projectors to pay tribute to Bob Dylan, by covering his hauntingly tinctured “I Saw St. Augustine,” from the sparse 1968 album John Wesley Harding. After all, just about everyone goes Dylan to one degree in their musical career, like Sufjan Stevens’ waltzing rendition of “Ring Them Bells.” It’s only natural [...]

Following their summer tour, Dirty Projectors have announced 14 additional dates for September. Tickets for their New York appearance at Terminal 5 are already available here. Because their last album Bitte Orca is a year old now, we should all expect to hear new material from them when they come around. Fall tour dates after [...]

Sure, it’s a little bit away, but the Dirty Projectors have some neat shows coming up. They will play New York City’s Lincoln Center as part of the acclaimed American Songbook series on February 19th and with the Los Angeles Philharmonic at the Walt Disney Concert Hall on February 27th. The Disney Concert hall was [...]
