Dan Deacon w/ Retrofette (DJ Set)
Globe Hall Presents Dan Deacon with Retrofette on Friday, December 1st. How do you make something solid, beautiful, and built to last in a time of cultural chaos and personal doubt? With Mystic Familiar, Dan Deacon gives us the stunning result of years of obsessive work, play, and self-discovery. It’s at once his most emotionally open record and his most transcendent, 11 kaleidoscopic tracks of majestic synth-pop that exponentially expand his sound with unfettered imagination and newfound vulnerability. Mystic Familiar’s opening track “Become a Mountain” immediately announces itself as something new, for the first time ever on record presenting Dan’s natural singing voice, unprocessed and with only minimal accompaniment. When Deacon proclaims “I rose up” here, it is Dan Deacon singing in the first person as Dan Deacon — a startlingly vulnerable shift in a songbook abundant with characters, metaphors, and distorted vocals. As other ornate voices answer this unadorned I, we’re introduced to the album’s central concept and titular character: the Mystic Familiar, that supernatural other being that we carry with us everywhere in our head, which only we can hear and with whom we live our lives in eternal conversation. “Hypnagogic” takes us deeper into Deacon’s mind, a synth swirl similar to those which have begun his recent performances, absorbing the pulse of the room and extending that abstract moment in which a journey begins. From there, Mystic Familiar takes a propulsive leap with the robotic drums and soaring melodies of “Sat By a Tree,” lyrically conjuring both a campfire gathering of friends reflecting on key memories with the hard-won clarity of time (“It may only last a moment, but a moment can last a lifetime in your mind”) and a dialogue with an anthropomorphic tree that asks “What would you cast into existence if you contained the persistence to unwind?” Deacon’s personal, freeing answer comes by the song’s end, in the cathartic acts of declaring a creative work finished and sharing it with others — even while knowing “It is out of my control what this world wants there to be told of me in time.” More than just a complete, polished, and satisfying record in an era of sound bites and disposability, Mystic Familiar is Dan Deacon’s first record in which each song was built around one thematic throughline, a meticulously realized landmark in a discography already marked by rich imagination and layered perfectionism. Mystic Familiar captures an established artist mindfully evolving his music from its playful beginnings to encompass a prismatic cosmos of quantum dimensionality. It’s as addictive to listen to as it was for Deacon to work on — a Mystic Familiar transmitted directly from Deacon’s mind to ours, a conversion of self-doubt into an enduring creative work which we can now carry with us in our ears wherever life takes us. – 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
Me Nd Adam: The American Drip Tour w/ Hutty + John Tyler
Globe Hall Presents Me Nd Adam: The American Drip Tour with Hutty and John Tyler on Friday, October 20 — Me Nd Adam is a pair of friends who found each other in the throes of nihilistic debauchery and breakups. As the world turned its back, Adam and Vince turned to music. Known to their fans for their heartfelt anthems, accessibility, and rambunctious behavior, Me Nd Adam are the original trash-wave trail-blazers.The Austin, TX based duo saw lightning strike in 2020 when their single “Heartbreak Kid” garnered millions of streams. The success of “Heartbreak Kid” attracted the attention of Las Vegas-based indie label, Handwritten Records.After signing with Handwritten Records, the band dropped a string of singles in the run-up to the November 2020 release of their debut album American Drip Pt. I (ADP1). The album’s singles earned coverage in Rolling Stone, Alternative Press and American Songwriter, with “Something Better” scoring a spot in Earmilk’s Best Songs of 2020 (Indie & Alternative) and The Line of Best Fit awarding ADP1 an “8/10,” noting the the album “contains stunning elements of comfort, sadness, excitement, resentment and happiness — and encapsulates the woes and tides of life and all its ups and downs it hurls at us…a relatable, clever and meticulously produced album [and] offering something for everyone.” Atwood Magazine included ADP1 as one of the “Top 50 Albums of the Year” for 2020.The Killers gave ADP1’s single “The More I Grow Up” a nod, shouting out the track on their social media. Unprecedented support from The Killers’ fan base led to arena opening slots for Me Nd Adam in Dallas and Austin. The mentorship culminated with a direct support slot for The Killers’ 2022 New Year’s Eve party at The Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas.Me Nd Adam’s sound is reminiscent of classic American songwriters like Tom Petty and Bruce Springsteen with a contemporary twist of alternative rock and pop production. The band’s influences range from Willie Nelson to Meek Mill and Jason Isbell to Blink-182.Me Nd Adam has recently appeared at SXSW, Austin City Limits Music Festival and Shaky Knees Music Festival. Invigorated by the woes of their largest national tour yet, spanning 23 cities, Me Nd Adam is currently releasing singles leading up to their sophomore album, American Drip Pt. II, due out July 28th, 2023.- 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
The Brevet w/ Seth Beamer + Ian Mahan
Globe Hall Presents The Brevet with Seth Beamer and Ian Mahan on Saturday, November 4th. Nestled in between Los Angeles and San Diego lies Orange County, CA: a culturally, economically, and environmentally diverse community with an identity all of its own. The Brevet, hailing from the heart of Orange County, continues to create an ever-evolving sound that pushes stylistic boundaries. Just as Orange County is home to snow capped mountains, pristine beaches, and bustling city centers, The Brevet’s alternative rock sound draws authentically from folk, surf, and R&B influence, but doesn’t shy away from thundering rhythms, blistering guitars and progressive synths. – 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
We Are Scientists w/ Sean McVerry
Globe Hall Presents We Are Scientists with Sean McVerry on Tuesday, November 14th. We Are Scientists is an American rock band started in California in 2000 who’ve carried out their last 20 years of art business from a base in New York City. Founding members Keith Murray (guitar) and Chris Cain (bass) have played with guys like Adam, Michael, Andy, Danny, Chris, Matt, and Gary on drums, but for over five years now have had Keith Carne, who looks like he isn’t going anywhere. Their first album, “With Love & Squalor,” was certified gold in the U.K. and enjoyed by dance rock fans in many other countries. Subsequent records like “Brain Thrust Mastery,” “TV en Français,” and “Megaplex” saw the incorporation of more synthesizers, strings, and a horn. Although 2021’s “Huffy” returned to a guitar-driven sound, 2023’s “Lobes,” the band’s eighth studio album, is their synthiest, electronic beatiest collection yet. So, really, who even is We Are Scientists? The release of “Lobes” was celebrated with a very special hometown show at Brooklyn Made on January 20, 2023, followed by touring in the U.K. and Europe beginning in February.- 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
105.5 The Colorado Sound presents Buck Meek w/ Dylan Meek
105.5 The Colorado Sound presents Buck Meek with Dylan Meek on Saturday, January 27th.For his latest solo album, Buck Meek, lead guitarist of Big Thief, went back to Texas – to the border town of Tornillo 560 miles from his hometown of Wimberley – to record Haunted Mountain. The band – Buck (guitar, vocals), Adam Brisbin (guitar), Austin Vaughn (drums), Ken Woodward (bass), Mat Davidson (pedal steel, vocals), and Dylan Meek (keys) – recorded the eleven songs that make up Haunted Mountain over the course of two weeks at Sonic Ranch studio. The album was produced by Davidson and engineered and mixed by Adrian Olsen. The album follows Meek’s 2018 self-titled debut and 2021’s Two Saviors, with records as a part of Big Thief in-between – U.F.O.F. and Two Hands (2019), and Dragon New Warm Mountain I Believe In You (2022).Haunted Mountain is about love and… something other. Something bigger than love, a soulfulness, or a soul seeking fullness. In the songs, (with five co-written alongside longtime friend and musical hero Jolie Holland (‘Haunted Mountain’, ‘Paradise’, ‘Where You’re Coming From’, ‘Lagrimas’, & ‘Lullabies’) and one (‘The Rainbow’) set to the words of Judee Sill’s final journal entry, written 3 weeks before she passed) love often assumes a natural form, sometimes it becomes artificial, sometimes cosmic. It is a consciousness here, interacting with the lovers, watching them sometimes, becoming them sometimes. Romance is not the only form of love Haunted Mountain explores; The epic ‘Lullabies’ examines the inexhaustible connection between mother and son; a platonic bond appears in ‘Where you’re coming from’; and grief leads to communion with the dead in ‘Lagrimas’.The songs were written in mountains; by cold springs in the Serra da Estrela of Portugal, on the submerged volcano of Milos in the Cyclades, Valle Onsernone in the Swiss Alps (where the cover photo was taken), and the Santa Monica range where Buck now calls home – all where his new love was born. “Love inhabits your environment, animates the inanimate, charging everything around you with a sense of meaning,” Meek says. Haunted Mountain asks – is love a form of magic?- 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian

Dead Poet Society w/ Public Theatre
Globe Hall Presents Dead Poet Society with Public Theatre on Friday, October 6 –A perfect symbol for Dead Poet Society is the “shitty old seven-string” that guitarist Jack Collins bought at a mall back in high school.”Our former bass player actually took a soldering iron and soldered the frets off,” he recalls. “You couldn’t play it normally at all. I thought it was going to be a great idea. Years later it was sitting in my closet, and I decided to pick it up again because I got really bored. It became the new way for us to write music — it opened up a door into this whole new world we discovered.””It was like, ‘This is the guitar,’ he adds. “It’s like taking something broken and creating art out of it.” With its wonky intonation, the instrument can’t produce traditional chords or scales — an unlikely choice for a rock band with such strong commercial potential. Collins and frontman Jack Underkofler are a factory of hooky riffs, even at their most detuned and menacing; and the latter barks and coos with a crystalline purity that recalls Jeff Buckley and Muse’s Matt Bellamy.That contrast is crucial to the band’s debut LP, -!- out February 12, 2021 via Spinefarm Records. Take the bruising belter “Been Here Before,” which pairs a stadium-sized chorus with angular guitars and Dylan Brenner’s blown-out fuzz bass; “I Never Loved Myself Like I Loved You” opens with the fidelity of an iPhone demo before blooming into a cinematic dream-pop singalong anchored by Will Goodroad’s rimclick drum groove.Brenner is a new addition to the lineup, but his experience as the band’s touring standin for the duration of their career has made him a natural fit.It’s no surprise that Dead Poet Society like screwing with rock conventions — that’s been their aim since forming in 2013 as students at Boston’s Berklee College of Music and Wentworth Institute of Technology. Hilariously, at least in retrospect, it did take them a bit to find common ground.”My best friend drummed for them, and I convinced him to leave the band,” Underkofler says with a laugh.”Six months later, Jack asked me to sing on a couple songs they’d written. My apprehension came from the fact that they were kind of a meme for being one of the worst bands at school. I kind of tried to push away — our old bassist just kept asking me, ‘Do you want to write with us?’ One day he showed up on my door step and I was like, ‘Fuck.’ After I wrote my first song with them [“145″], I was like, ‘I think there’s something here.'”The newly solidified quartet quickly developed a chemistry: Underkofler and Collins had a mutual love of Coldplay, but their tastes sprawled over time along with drummer Will Goodroad: heavy acts like Royal Blood and Led Zeppelin, modern art-pop artists like St. Vincent, even hip-hop experimentalists like Tyler, the Creator. Not all of those influences are detectable on the largely self-produced -!-, which features a handful of tracks co-helmed by studio veteran Alex Newport. But that eclecticism makes sense, given their distaste for most modern rock.”It’s just lame,” Collins says. “It has been for like 10 years. I think that’s because people are paying too much umbrage to classic rock — there’s this ‘passing of the torch’ thing that I think is just bullshit. Heavy music is the way we communicate — it happens to be rock music, but the expression itself and what we’re trying to say and how we want to make people feel is unique. That’s what bands used to do, and I think that’s what a lot of hip-hop artists do nowadays.””Our goal,” he emphasizes, “is to make someone feel something they haven’t felt before.”- 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
