\"Yellowman\"<\/a>

Yellowman<\/p><\/div>\n

Yellowman, one of the greatest reggae singers to come out of Jamaica in the 1980s, is still going strong. On November 10, he will return to the area for a rare show when he performs at the Ardmore Music Hall (23 East Lancaster Avenue, Ardmore, 610-649-8389,\u00a0www.ardmoremusic.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Also known as King Yellowman and by his birth name of Winston Foster, he was born in 1956 and grew up in an orphanage in Kingston. Yellowman is an albino. Known as dundus in Jamaica, albinos have always faced racial prejudice and are usually shunned. This happened with Yellowman but he got the last laugh by becoming a major reggae star internationally and a sex symbol in the Jamaican music scene.<\/span><\/p>\n

King Yellow first gained wide attention when he won a toasting contest event in Kingston. Toasting was a Jamaican singing\/talking vocal style that was the precursor of rap and hip hop. In 1981, Yellowman became the first dancehall artist to be signed to a major American label and released his \u201cKing Yellowman\u201d album on Columbia Records<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

Yellowman has always been known for his high-energy shows. Fueled by the driving reggae sounds of the Sagittarius Band, Yellow is a non-stop whirl of action every show from start-to-finish.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m 60 years old but I\u2019m not slowing down at all,\u201d said Yellowman during a phone interview Tuesday morning from a tour stop in Washington, D.C.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI know how to keep my energy up. I take care of myself physically. And, I drink soursop juice and oatmeal porridge drink.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One of Yellowman\u2019s first big hits was a song called \u201cZungguzungguguzungguzeng.\u201d In many of his numerous hit singles in Jamaica, he boasted of his sexual prowess \u2013 songs such as \u201cThem a Mad Over Me,\u201d \u201cLetter to Rosey,\u201d \u201cYellow Like Cheese\u201d and \u201cGoing to the Chapel.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, Yellowman is touring and performing with his daughter Kareema.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s with me right now,\u201d said Yellowman. \u201cWe have four new songs that we\u2019ve done together.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cReggae has been kind of stagnant for a while but my fans have stuck with me. The best reggae was in the 1980s. I still have the same band I used in the \u201980s \u2013 the Sagittarius Band. There are still two original members and the rest are new.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Yellowman is a true survivor. In addition to still making vibrant music, he has shown the strength to overcome obstacles \u2013 such as the prejudice he faced as a youth.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1982, Yellowman was diagnosed with skin cancer, and was initially told that he only had three more years to live. After several surgeries Yellowman was able to continue his career and the cancer went into apparent remission during this time.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 1986 it was diagnosed that the cancer had spread to his jaw. Yellowman then underwent very invasive jaw surgery to remove a malignant tumor. This surgery permanently disfigured Yellowman\u2019s face, as a large portion of the left side of his lower jaw had to be removed to successfully remove the tumor.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m still all right,\u201d said Yellowman. \u201cI didn\u2019t let it beat me. I\u2019m doing fine \u2013 cancer gone.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just keep playing my songs and performing live. Younger audiences are coming out. I do songs that draw young people. They understand classic reggae.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at Ardmore, which features Suburban Sensi as the opening act, will start at 8 p.m.\u00a0 Tickets are $25.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other upcoming shows at the Ardmore Music Hall are Box of Rain and Broken Arrow on November 11, Everyone Orchestra on November 12, Anderson East on November 13 and Blue Rodeo with Devin Cuddy on November 14.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"destructo\"<\/a>

Destructo<\/p><\/div>\n

Dance music of a different kind will also be happening on November 10 when Destructo brings his latest tour package to Philadelphia. \u201cThe Renegade Fall 2016 Tour\u201d featuring Destructo, Felix da Housecat, Drezo and Sita Abellan will provide an evening of intense EDM (Electronic Dance Music) at District N9ne (460 North Ninth Street, Philadelphia, 215-769-2780, http:\/\/districtn9ne.com<\/span><\/a>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Destructo is Gary Richards, a well-respected g-house DJ\/producer and one of the most innovative curators of music festivals in the world.<\/span><\/p>\n

In support of his tour, Destructo has released lead single \u201cCatching Plays\u201d (out now on Hits HARD), a collaboration with one of Australia\u2019s Wax Motif, and featuring Pusha T and Starrah.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe tour has been out since September and it\u2019s coming to its end,\u201d said Richards, during a phone interview Wednesday afternoon from his home in Beverly Hills.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThis is the last weekend. After that, I\u2019ll be home for a few weeks and then will go on a tour to Australia, Indonesia, Fiji and Hawaii in December.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I\u2019m putting a tour together, I make a list of who I want to have in the show. I always look for variety. I just try to keep it fresh and entertaining.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Richards makes his music in his own studio in Los Angeles.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have a studio in the Valley,\u201d said Richards. \u201cIt\u2019s mostly computers with Ableton. The studio now is just a place that sounds good \u2013 no mixing boards, consoles and gear like that. It used to be about the gear but that has completely changed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have two singles that just came out \u2013 \u2018Winning\u2019 featuring Problem and \u2018Catching Plays\u2019 featuring Pusha T and Starrah. I have an EP that is coming out in January called \u2018Renegade.\u2019 I\u2019ve been working on it a long time. I\u2019m just trying to get it perfect so I\u2019ve been taking my time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cCatching Plays\u201d is the follow-up to \u201c4Real\u201d featuring Ty Dolla $ign and iLoveMakonnen, Destructo\u2019s most successful track to date with nearly five million streams on Spotify, over one million streams on Soundcloud, and its music video logging almost one million views on YouTube. His uncompromising approach to music spurned the creation of g-house, a new unique hip-hop and house hybrid.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhen I\u2019m making songs, I usually start with some kind of beat,\u201d said Richards. \u201cI just get a bunch of beats. Then, I figure out who would be good to work with on the song and start connecting with vocalists. One of my songs had five different vocalists from all over \u2013 Chicago, Louisiana, L.A. I send them the track, get it back, refine it and see what works.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Destructo is also a music executive and convert promoter. He is the founder and CEO of HARDEvents,<\/span> which has been putting on popular music festivals since 2007 and was acquired by Live Nation Entertainment four years ago.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy dad was in the music business in the D.C. area,\u201d said Richards. \u201cI\u2019ve always been around it. When I heard electronic music, it was what I loved \u2013 bands like Pink Floyd, Kraftwerk and then Aphex Twin and Prodigy. Depeche Mode had such cool sounds. Then, in the 90s, the music turned into a whole different thing and I really got into techno.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at District N9ne will start at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $18.<\/span><\/p>\n

On November 11, there will be a variety of live music at Fillmore Philadelphia (1100 Canal Street, Philadelphia, 215-309-0150, www.thefillmorephilly.com<\/span><\/a>) with STS9 performing in the Fillmore\u2019s main room and Klangstof playing in the venue\u2019s smaller room \u2013 the Foundry.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"STS9\"<\/a>

STS9<\/p><\/div>\n

STS9 \u2013 also known as Sound Tribe Sector 9 \u2013 is an instrumental band that makes music for both the head and the body \u2013 a swirling blend of funk, jazz, jam band, electronic, instrumental rock, hip hop, drum-and-bass, and psychedelia. The band is now touring in support of its new album \u201cThe Universe Inside.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Universe Inside\u201d is the band\u2019s first new full-length studio album in nearly seven years. It was released via their own 1320 Records in September 2 and debuted at #1 on the iTunes and Amazon Electronic Album charts and #2 on the Billboard Dance\/Electronic Albums Chart — marking their highest position to date on the chart. It is the band\u2019s first featuring bassist Alana Rocklin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe recorded the album over the last few years,\u201d said Rocklin, during a phone interview Wednesday afternoon from a tour stop in Washington, D.C. \u201cWe started the album over a couple times. We started working on it as soon as I joined the band.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a concept album. We developed it over a lot of conversations we had in the studio \u2013 conversations about life\u2026conversations about everything.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Twenty years before the emergence of STS9, NASA sent Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 on a mission to the farthest reaches of the solar system and beyond. Each of these probes was equipped with identical Golden Records, special messages attached to what Carl Sagan called \u201ca bottle launched into the cosmic ocean.\u201d They contained numerous images and sounds from throughout the world, pieces of music from various cultures, a map identifying the location of our planet, and other information for whomever, or whatever, might find them.<\/span><\/p>\n

While the Golden Records included greetings in 59 languages, they made no mention of nations and borders, wars and rivalries, or anything else that divides us. What they did mention was life, love, peace, birth–the things that bind us to one another and to the planet we call home.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Universe Inside\u201d is billed as a reflection of this message.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the band, \u201cIt means we are one, made of stardust and the forces of nature that evolved over billions of years. Connected by the sun, moon and stars, we are the living breathing conscience of the Universe. It is an album about human identity and the magical truth of who we are, where we\u2019re going, and our place in the Universe.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s about the joy and pain of being human, and the hope that one day, with the help of a common origin story, we can become a global civilization and cosmic society–a society that embraces each other and the vast cultures of Earth as one human race, transcending man-made concepts that keep us apart.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Rocklin said, \u201cIt\u2019s a story about how we\u2019re all created from the same thing. We\u2019re all made from stardust and we\u2019re all the same. No matter what small differences we have, we need to accept the fact that we were all created the same. We have to get back to that.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

STS9 has released 11 albums, two remixed albums and multiple live DVDs on its own label, 1320 Records. The band is known for making music that features spacey instrumental passages along with solid rhythm-based grooves that makes listeners want to dance. Obviously, STS9 is a favorite of the jam band festival audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re very aware of the balance of energy to the head and energy to the body,\u201d said Rocklin. \u201cWe follow the music and let it take us to where it wants to go.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is the challenge of having a DJ dance element along with having no idea what\u2019s going to happen. And, we like to leave room for improvisation. There are definitely open space moments in most of our songs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

STS9\u2019s sound is in a constant state of evolution, and so is the culture surrounding it. What started out as a deeply loyal fan base has blossomed into a full-fledged community united, not just by their love for STS9, but by a mutual desire to engage the world in a positive way. It is a philosophy that has been encouraged by the band\u2019s music, as well as their actions.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the years, STS9 and their fans have helped feed communities with Conscious Alliance, built houses in post-Katrina New Orleans with the Make It Right Foundation, raised money for Rock Against Cancer and supported dozens more national and regional philanthropic efforts.<\/span><\/p>\n

Rocklin joined the band in January 2014 when founding member and bassist David Murphy left the band.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMy husband Brad and I had a band called sub-ID,\u201d said Rocklin. \u201cA while back, we got a call to open for STS9. We played several shows together and just connected from the start. We put an album out on their label and did several more national tours with them. When David left, they came to me to take over as bassist for the group.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI had my own career in Nashville \u2013 playing bass for other artists and doing session work. But, I also always had a desire to be in a band. I love their music and we\u2019ve always been close friends. So, it was an easy decision.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at the Fillmore will start at 9 p.m. Tickets are $32.50.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Klangstof\"<\/a>

Klangstof<\/p><\/div>\n

When Klangstof takes the stage at the Foundry, it will be a band. But, for the most part, Klangstof is the solo project of Koen van de Wardt, a talented Dutch-Norwegian singer\/songwriter\/multi-instrumentalist.\u00a0 Klamngstof is currently touring in support if the new album \u201cClose to the Exit,\u201d which was recently released on WB Records.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI live partially in Oslo and partially in Amsterdam,\u201d said van der Wardt, during a phone interview last week from Amsterdam.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m Dutch and moved to Norway when I was young. I moved back to the Netherlands three years ago. I had some time to settle down. I have a studio in an old abandoned warehouse.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

At the age of 14 while living one hour away from civilization somewhere in the middle of Norway, van der Wardt realized that to do something meaningful with his life he would have to learn how to make music. With a limited budget and no friends around to start a band, he started teaching himself how to play and record. Inspired by Radiohead\u2019s \u201cOK Computer\u201d album, van der Wardt began with the guitar and soon mastered the entire album.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given his isolation and lack of prior musical knowledge, it took him over two years to complete his \ufb01rst song, which he eventually uploaded to a Norwegian website for unsigned bands. The song was picked up by a radio station in Norway and started making its way across the Nordic airwaves. Two years later, he became the bass player for one of Holland\u2019s most critically acclaimed indie bands, Moss.<\/span><\/p>\n

Van der Wardt enjoyed a successful stay with Moss but realized he missed creating music alone in his basement. So, he left Moss, created Klangstof (\u201cklang\u201d means \u201cecho\u201d in Norwegian and \u201cstof\u201d means \u201cdust\u201d in Dutch) and wrote the single \u201cHostage\u201d to describe feeling stuck and itching for a creative outlet. Within three months after uploading \u201cHostage\u201d to Soundcloud, he was in L.A. to sign a deal with Mind Of A Genius Records.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI started writing demos in Norway six years ago when I was 18,\u201d said van Der Wardt. \u201cI got to Amsterdam and found I had way too many songs on my hard drive. \u2018Hostage\u2019 was the first song that got finished. For me, it was the starting point. I found the right sound. I got more into electronics \u2013 using synths and keeping acoustic guitar and drums in the mix. Apart from the drums, I wrote everything by myself.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The result was an album with a fresh approach — combining the Scandinavian feeling of epic soundscapes and guitar with a synthesized, drum machine-driven industrial vibe.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe whole recording process took me about half a year,\u201d said van der Wardt. \u201cThe songs were just laying there on my hard drive \u2013 most were guitar-based. The guitar things are my roots when I\u2019m making a record but I also used many, many other instruments. On \u2018Hostage,\u2019 I used 50-60 synthesizers, including some old vintage Italian synthesizers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Now, van der Wardt is bringing Klangstof to the states as a live band.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI have a full band,\u201d said van der Wardt. \u201cI didn\u2019t want to use backing tracks for my live show. As soon as you bring backing tracks, you\u2019re locked in. On stage, I sing and play synth and guitar. J.C. is my drummer, JoBo is the extra guitar player and Wammes is the synth wizard. This is a really good band.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Video link for Klangstof \u2013 https:\/\/youtu.be\/tm9jYDkkayI?t=6<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at the Foundry, which also features Jagwar Ma, will start at 9 p.m. Tickets are $16.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other upcoming shows at Fillmore Philadelphia are Fitz and the Tantrums on November 12, Sleeping with Sirens on November 13, Ingrid Michaelson on November 14, and The Fray on November 16.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Sims\"<\/a>

Sims<\/p><\/div>\n

Another artist who operates both in solo mode and as part of the group will be performing in Philly on November 11. Sims, who will headline a show at Boot and Saddle (1131 South Broad Street, Philadelphia, 215-639-4528, www.bootandsaddlephilly.com<\/span><\/a><\/span>) is both <\/span>a solo artist and part of Minneapolis\u2019 Doomtree Collective along with Cecil Otter, Dessa, Lazerbeak, Mike Mictlan, P.O.S. and Paper Tiger.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sims is touring in support of his new album \u201cMore Than Ever.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sims wrote \u201cMore Than Ever\u201d last winter in the wake of some personally trying times — death and sickness in his immediate circle of friends and family. He realized that the only acceptable answer to big loss is big joy. The 13 tracks on \u201cMore Than Ever\u201d capture Sims coming to — and living out — that conclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI just started to write whatever I felt,\u201d said Sims, during a phone interview Monday from a tour stop in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPreviously, I felt my story wasn\u2019t worth anything. Now, it is. There are songs about my youth, songs about being 30 and there are dark tunes \u2013 people sick, people dying.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI transfer that emotion to songs \u2013 celebrating every moment I have\u2026. abandoning my worry and finding joy. Making this album was very therapeutic. Writing these songs was absolutely cathartic. I hope people find that when they listen to these songs.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Sims grew up in Minnesota and was a part of the busy and fiercely independent Minneapolis hip-hop scene. In high school, he made friends with the classmates that would eventually become his cohorts in Doomtree\u2014the seven-member rap collective now responsible for some of this era\u2019s most interesting, genre-defying releases.<\/span><\/p>\n

Over the past decade Sims has released a host of projects, both as a solo artist (Lights Out Paris, Bad Time Zoo, Wild Life EP, Field Notes) and as a member of Doomtree (No Kings, All Hands, and many others.) To create \u201cMore Than Ever,\u201d Sims enlisted Lazerbeak, Paper Tiger, and ICETEP to join in the production.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith the new album, I started working on the demos last fall,\u201d said Sims. \u201cThen, I recorded the album earlier this year at a studio in Minneapolis and at my home studio. I finished mastering it in July. I had a lot of help form Paper Tiger, ICETEP and Tiger Beat.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWith my songwriting, I find inspiration wherever I can. I wake up, go to the studio, turn beats on and see what happens. The key is repetition. I try to make as many songs. I make a lot and whatever comes out, comes out. If I listen back and don\u2019t like it, I throw it away. You don\u2019t get to decide what happens \u2013 you just have to react to it.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Video link for Sims \u2013 https:\/\/youtu.be\/Ah-IFs7oin8?t=3<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The show at Boot and Saddle, which has Air Credits as the opening act, will start at 8:30 p.m. Tickets are $14.<\/span><\/p>\n

Other upcoming shows at Boot and Saddle are Diane Coffee and Palmas on November 10; Broncho on November 11; Parsonfield on November 12; Vanishing Life on November 14; Honus Honus on November 15; and Darla on November 16.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Benjamin<\/a>

Benjamin Francis Leftwich<\/p><\/div>\n

Another solo musician whose new album reflects dealing with death and personal tragedy will be performing in Philadelphia on November 11 when Benjamin Francis Leftwich headlines a show at Johnny Brenda\u2019s (1201 North Frankford Avenue, Philadelphia, 215-739-9684,<\/span><\/p>\n

www.johnnybrendas.com<\/a><\/span>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Leftwich, a British singer-songwriter, is touring the states in support of his sophomore album \u201cAfter The Rain,\u201d which was released by Dirty Hit \/ Vagrant Records in August.<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in York, England to South African and Australian parents, Leftwich lived a nomadic childhood — spending just as much time in Sydney, Australia as in his native U.K.. Inspired by Elliott Smith and Bruce Springsteen, he taught himself to play the guitar when he was 10. Leftwich fronted indie pop outfit the Nicoles in his teens before embarking on a solo career.<\/span><\/p>\n

After recording his first EP, \u201cA Million Miles Out,\u201d in Southern France, he attracted attention for his cover version of Arcade Fire\u2019s \u201cRebellion\u201d on Dermot O\u2019Leary\u2019s BBC R2 Saturday Sessions show. In 2011, his first single was \u201cPictures\u201d which was followed by his debut album \u201cBleeps.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI moved to London at the end of 2013,\u201d said Leftwich, during a phone interview last week from his home in North London. \u201cI just wanted to get away from the town I grew up in. Music is my life and London has a great music scene \u2013 and a lot of my friends have recording studios.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been in love with music. I remember my dad playing the Beatles and Nina Simone when I was young. I\u2019m a big song guy. I love great songs. I started music when I was 10 and later began playing gigs with local bands. I started doing solo gigs when I was 17 and, after a few years, made my first solo EP \u2018A Million Miles Out.\u2019<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve always been very passionate about music. I can\u2019t write music but I let my ear absorb everything. I sit down with my guitar and write melodies. And, I\u2019ve got about a thousand voice memos in my song files. I\u2019ll start a song with rough versions or demos. Usually a melody comes first and then the words come pretty soon after that. I craft songs from there.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

For most of this decade, Leftwich has been working on his craft and his music has been evolving.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThings have changed as I\u2019ve gotten older,\u201d said Leftwich. \u201cI\u2019ve gotten more experimental. But, \u2018After the Rain\u2019 does have some older stems. I started recording it in April 2015 at Iguana Studio in Brixton. I had been writing the songs for it for two-and-a-half years. My dad passed away in April 2013 from cancer. It happened pretty quickly.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat was the main road through the desert for the album. The songs aren\u2019t all about losing my dad but his death informed everything. Making the album was a cathartic experience \u2013 waves of emotion that affected the color of the sound palette.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
