Peter Wolf Crier

Peter Wolf Crier will play Der Rathskeller on April 9. The folk duo from Minneapolis most recently performed in Madison opening for the Bowerbirds and Sharon Van Etten at the High Noon Saloon. Just a couple of weeks ago, the band signed to Jagjaguwar. Their debut album Inter-Be was created one summer night by former Wars of 1812 band member Peter Pisano. Pisano enlisted Brian Moen on drums, familiar for his work with bands such as Laarks. The band has received regular airplay on The Current and press from various blogs such as Culture Bully and Muzzle of Bees.

But the night won’t be over yet! Amping up the tone will be The Pimps of Joytime who hail from Brooklyn.  Their soulful, funk-inspired, occasionally Latin, afrobeat music brings a new flavor to Der Rath and will be sure to get you groovin’.

The weekend fun doesn’t end, with Ferris hitting the stage at 9:30 pm on Saturday!

enjoy,

New York’s Trio Tarana is led by percussionist/composer Ravish Momin. Momin was born in India but spent his childhood in Mumbai & Bahrain. Trio Tarana is the combination of all the unique influences he found growing up. The trio utilizes Indian & East-Asian rhythms as the foundation and employs seemlessly blended written material. Their mission is to share their unique Asian-American music concept and identity with different audiences worldwide. Their eclectic sound has given them fame in the music world with an appearance as Shakira’s back up on the view.

Ferris brings together four musicians from Minneapolis, Minnesota. Mixing notes of jazz, funk, pop, and blues, they add some new spice to the music scene. In 2009, Ferris released it’s debut album Dancing With Architects at its CD release show at Fine Line Music Cafe in Minneapolis. The band formed in 2005 when keyboardist and lead singer Dustin Hatzenbuhler began to meld his pop influences with the jazz training of his three good friends. The fusion of the songwriting and individual instrumentation was instantaneous as they began to collaborate on original music and to play live shows.

2. K-OS – Yes!

Toronto-based alternative rapper K-OS has released his new album, Yes! His trademark slow, thought-provoking delivery still holds strong on this new installment, and the beats and rhymes work excellently together. According to multiple reviews, the best song on the album is “I Wish I Knew Natalie Portman,” and it’s hard to disagree:

3. Joanna Newsom – Have One On Me

Joanna Newsom has released her new album, Have One On Me. The album is 2 hours long, and contains a lot more bluesy chord progressions than the folk modes of her critically-acclaimed Ys. Pitchfork gave the new album 9.2/10, and it’s clear from the song “Good Intentions Paving Company” why that is:

Other notable album releases: Michelle Branch, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Fan Death, Fang Island, The New Loud, DJ Khaled, Lifehouse, The Rocket Summer, The Streets
