3 Hour THIEVERY CORPORATION SPECIAL 10/11/2011

Don't miss the 3 Hour THIEVERY CORPORATION Pledge Drive Special

Tuesday 10/11/2011 from 7-10pm

 

Dr. J will be Blending and Remixing the music of Thievery Corporation live in the studio for 3 hours focusing on the new album Culture of Fear as well as past Collaborations, Classics and Rarities. We will be offering offering a variety of Thank You Gifts including the new album "Culture of Fear", the Thievery Corporation DVD "Live @ Club 9:30" and the "Babylon Central" DVD directed by Eric Hilton of Thievery Corporation, where they provide the soundtrack and give you a view into the music scene of their DC home.

Thievery Corporation is excited to announce the upcoming release of their 6th studio album "Culture of Fear," which will be available on ESL MUSIC June 28, 2011. Following up their incendiary and bombastic call to arms Radio Retaliation from 2008, this time around Eric Hilton and Rob Garza craft a simmering and hazy collection of atmospheric gems that recalls their early production work but reflects a thoroughly contemporary zeitgeist of socio-political angst and unease.

Utilizing a team of skilled session players from their acclaimed live show and beyond, Culture of Fear finds the duo easing into expansive multipart space-jams like “Tower Seven” and jazzy instrumental b-boy breaks like “Light Flares.” Not only are usual suspects like multilingual chanteuse Lou Lou and dancehall toaster Sleepy Wonder back to lend their haunting vocals, but several new contributors also join the Corporation.

If you can't make it out to a show during 2011, stay tuned for more information about Thievery Corporation's debut to the live concert DVD scene: "Thievery Corporation: Live at the 9:30 Club" will be released late summer 2011 and can give you the full Thievery live show feeling from the comfort of your own living room!
