Earth w/ Burning Sister
Globe Hall Presents Earth with Burning Sister on Tuesday, June 13 — Over the course of their thirty trips around the sun, Earth has remained diligent in their commitment to monolithic minimalism. The sonic vocabulary may have changed—from their early years churning out seismic drone metal on albums like Earth 2 (1993) to the dusty Morricone-tinged comeback album Hex; Or Printing in the Infernal Method (2005) to the meditative rock approach of Primitive and Deadly (2014)—but the underlying principle of austerity and restraint remains a constant. With their latest album Full Upon Her Burning Lips, Earth purges the layers of auxiliary instrumentation that embellished some of their previous records and deconstructed their dynamic to the core duo of Dylan Carlson on guitar and bass and Adrienne Davies on drums and percussion. In the process, they tapped into the Platonic ideal of Earth—an incarnation of the long running band bolstered by the authority of purpose, where every note and every strike on the drum kit carries the weight of the world. Full Upon Her Burning Lips opens with “Datura’s Crimson Veils”, a twelve-minute opus that adheres to Earth’s 21st century approach with Carlson’s sepia-toned Bakersfield Sound guitars lurching across a barren landscape while Davies punctuates the melodies with death knell drums. It’s a sound that harkens back to the riff-constructed vistas of their Angels of Darkness, Demons of Light albums, but stripped of their ornateness. “It was definitely a very organically developed record,” Carlson says of the process. “I limited the number of effects I used. I always like the limiting of materials to force oneself to employ them more creatively. Previous Earth records were quite lush sounding, and I wanted a more upfront and drier sound, using very few studio effects.” In less capable hands, these kinds of limitations might diminish the aural scope of the compositions, but Carlson and Davies have always thrived on reductive methods. The stripped down approach had another advantage. “I really wanted the drums to be present,” Carlson says. “I felt with previous Earth records that other instrumentation took up so much of the sonic space that the drums were kind of pushed to the side.” This tactic helps highlight Davies’ ability to elevate the drum kit beyond its mere metronomic functions and allows it to serve as an expressive, nuanced, and tonally rich component to Earth’s arsenal of sound. – 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian

Zella Day w/ Okey Dokey + Stone Jackals (Night 1)
Globe Hall Presents Zella Day with Okey Dokey and Stone Jackals on Saturday, August 5th.With every new album an artist makes, there’s an evolution, another chapter. But for Zella Day—her new record, Sunday In Heaven, is a whole other book. It’s not so much that it’s a step away from her debut Kicker—although this new record’s expansiveness, ambition, and bare-bones intimacy is significant. It’s that Zella has entered a new era personally, and the effect of this on her music is pronounced and powerful, creating an album that is lightyears forward in sound and scope from its predecessor.But to grasp how far Zella’s come it’s important to understand where she came from. Born in Phoenix, Arizona, Zella spent her formative years in Pinetop, AZ, raised by a bohemian family(who hail variously from Long Beach, CA and Mexico), Zella was brought up on a soundtrack of Lauryn Hill, Agent Orange, Digable Planets, and Edie Brickell, among others. She cut her teeth performing at her grandma’s coffee house, and then, at just 13, the young singer appeared on MTV reality show Camp’d Out: I’m Going to Rock Camp, recording her independently-funded first album, Powered by Love, the same year.When her parents divorced a few years later, Zella, her mom, and sister headed back to CA. Armed with that first album, a preternaturally husky-sweet set of pipes and plenty of chutzpah, Zella signed a label and publishing deal on her 18th birthday, joining a roster known for its pop creations. Making Kicker was a steep learning curve for the kid from the mountain top: writing to track and contending with music industry machinations. But her strength in herself, as well as her artistry and confidence, grew in tandem with settling into her adopted city of Los Angeles, finding her tribe of creative cohorts—from songstress Weyes Blood to the empowering friendship of Lana del Rey, who ran into Zella at a local bar, greeting her by calling out a Kicker deep-cut.Regardless of her evolution, at the core, Zella is a songwriter. She penned some 70 songs for Sunday In Heaven that were ultimately whittled to ten tracks steeped in Cali blue skies and golden hour light. Some were written on a tablecloth in Ojai (“Almost Good”), some scribbled at her kitchen table, others came in a car driving down to Chino, where she spent the summer of 2019 demoing the album with her friend, producer/engineer John Velasquez. There are songs that tackle matters of the heart too, like “Almost Good,” with its rolling bolero as Zella picks apart a lover’s potential. Elsewhere “I Don’t Know Where to End” is her “Easy Like Sunday Morning”-meets Sgt Pepper’s-era Beatles love-letter to Long Beach (“I wanted to capture the warmth that I feel being embraced by that place”). At the album’s beating, tender center stands “Bunny.” Over sparse piano chords, a reflective Zella pushes through the swirl of self-doubt. As “Bunny” builds to a climax, her voice cracks, both bruised and defiant, “Let it all go, everything’s different now.” “I needed something like a mantra I could repeat to myself, the more I sing it the more I’ll believe it,” she explains.“It’s up to us to decide whether or not we are going to let certain challenges define our lives,” she continues. Truly, if Sunday In Heaven is anything, it is the pure sound of a woman choosing how and who she wants to be in the world on her own terms; a record for moving forward out of darkness into light; for creating your own beautiful, sparkling reality exactly as you are. Heaven, indeed.- 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian

Ryan Oakes “Wake Up” Tour w/ special guests Layto, hellocentral + Capture This
Globe Hall Presents Ryan Oakes “Wake Up” Tour with special guests Layto, hellocentral and Capture This on Tuesday, May 30th.Originality gestates in the space between extremes. Ryan Oakes siphons a signature style from the nexus of hip-hop and hard rock uplifted by surges of electronic experimentation and unassuming pop appeal. The Virginia-born and Los Angeles-based vocalist, rapper, multi-instrumentalist, and artist carves out his own hyper-charged hypnotic hybrid with no shortage of energy and attitude. His commitment to independence and integrity has yielded nearly half-a-billion streams and a devout fan base. However, he perfects this vision like never before on his 2023 full-length debut album, Wake UpGrowing up in the suburbs of Washington, D.C., he embraced a creative spirit and taught himself keyboards, drums, and guitar at a young age, dedicating himself to music inspired by the likes of Linkin Park, JAY-Z, Green Day, and more. After tearing it up in middle school with an early band, he picked up a mic and freestyled his way through high school parties to the applause of his classmates. At the same time, he excelled at lacrosse. During senior year, a buddy on his way into the Marines joked, “The day I get home, I want you to have a mixtape out.” Armed with a $20 microphone from Best Buy, Ryan recorded at a feverish pace—exceeding his friend’s expectations. Posting his first song, he quit the lacrosse team and eventually made his way to Los Angeles in 2017. Touching down with no money or plans, his track “Drinking About You” serendipitously exploded, eventually tallying over 43 million Spotify streams.He served up music at a dizzying pace, dropping over 250 songs across mixtapes such as Millennial Meltdown [2019],Pity Party [2019], A Series of Unfortunate Events [2019],SLUMBERLAND [2021], and BURNOUT [2022]. Beyond praise from Rock Sound and many others, Earmilk hailed the latter among its “Best Albums of 2022 [Wrap-Up]”and attested, “A compilation of slick riffs and catchy melodies, BURNOUT goes to show that Ryan Oakes can’t be held to a single genre.” Along the way, “NUMB” amassed over 26 million Spotify streams, while “2AM” reeled in 18+ million Spotify streams and “HELLBOY” gathered 13+ million Spotify streams and counting. Plus, he collaborated with everyone from MOD SUN and Futuristic to NEFFEX and State Champs.Kickstarting the next chapter, he bulldozed the way for WAKE UP with the likes of the eponymous single “WAKE UP,” “WHITE FLAG” [with Magnolia Park], and “DOWN.” Meanwhile, “HEAVYWEIGHT” [with Loveless] has already cleared 2million streams and counting. Alternative Press professed,“ The track channels the familiarity of early 2000s rap-rock and pushes it further into the future and massive chorus courtesy of LA duo Loveless, who supply anthemic vocals, heavy guitars and intense rhythmic energy.”- 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
North By North w/ Nina & The Moonlighters + Better Weather
Globe Hall Presents North By North with Nina & The Moonlighters and Better Weather on Thursday, April 6th. Formed in 2012, North by North is the sweat-fueled rock & roll dream of two childhood friends from the south side of Chicago. Their music was forged through years of teen angst, twenty-something alienation and a profound belief that rock music can be genuinely clever and inventive. It’s a sound glued together by melodic hooks, soaring vocals, crushing guitar, bombastic drums and the kind of untethered energy that has won crowds over hundreds of shows and dozens of festivals across three countries.To call Nate Girard (guitar, vocals) and Kendra Blank (drums) veterans of the road would be a massive understatement. They have toured full-time since 2016 and have played over 650 shows throughout the US, Canada and UK.- 16+, under 16 admitted with a ticketed parent or guardian
