SUMMARY:Hotel Mira with special guest Fake Shark
DESCRIPTION:Following their recent string of chart singles\, Hotel Mira — the venerable West Coast quartet steered by frontman/songwriter Charlie Kerr — have returned with their first full-length release in over three years\, I Am Not Myself. Their hip-swerving\, passionately pop-contorting contemplation of identity sees release September 8 through longtime label Light Organ Records. \nA lot has changed since the early 2020 release of Hotel Mira’s breakthrough release\, Perfectionism. That album’s finely honed and honest on mental health and personal struggles took the band on their biggest tours yet\, building a passionate fandom across North America. As Hotel Mira’s profile grew\, vocalist Kerr was undergoing a time of transformation himself\, writing the bulk of I Am Not Myself while traveling between Vancouver and his now adopted-home of Los Angeles. While Kerr admits his anxieties over the move bled into his lyrics\, he soon realized I Am Not Myself’s mix of autobiography and tragi-comic character portraits likewise reflected a profound loss of self. \n“I kept going back to the same word\, which was ‘Identity\,’” he says of the connective threads running through the album’s 12 tracks\, further suggesting that I Am Not Myself — its title a key line from “Dancing With the Moonlight” — takes place within various points of an identity crisis. Sometimes\, that means breaking free from the social constructs others impose on you (“Eventually”); other times it means gleefully — perhaps even chaotically — lobotomizing yourself while in the throes of young love (“Fever Pitch”\, “King of the World”); other times\, it means digging for truths through the blurriness of all-night party (“Dancing With the Moonlight”). “Drugs and alcohol come up a lot\,” Kerr suggests of the latter. “You know\, sex\, fame\, and all of that feels tied to this idea: ‘What am I getting away from by diving into all of this so deeply?’” \nWhat’s sure is that Hotel Mira are as vulnerable as ever\, and ready to share that rawness with others who may be facing these same challenges. “We set out with the idea of making anthems for aliens — really\, really catchy pop songs for outcasted people\,” Kerr explains of the album’s varied\, but nonetheless anthemic tunes\, which come tailor-made for “people to scream together.” \nHotel Mira have already tested this theory out to great success over the past year\, preceding I Am Not Myself with single releases for “Fever Pitch” (#6 on the Mediabase Can-Alternative radio chart)\, “Eventually”\, “Dancing With the Moonlight” (#13 on the Mediabase Can-Alternative radio chart)\, “Mama” and “Everything Once”. While building off the sharp\, pop-rock hooks Perfectionism\, Hotel Mira are likewise exploring their widest set of sounds yet\, vaulting from neon-trashy garage rock\, to festival-sized pop hooks\, glam-bop balladry\, and tropi-goth workouts. \nThrough it all\, Kerr and co. are working with an increasingly raw and determined sensitivity. On I Am Not Myself’s closing “Age of Detachment\,” the vocalist distills the album’s themes of love\, loss\, identity\, and the embracing of community with a heart-pounding pledge: “I want to take off the armour.” In I Am Not Myself\, Hotel Mira have found the profound pathway to connect it all. \n“I think that there is value to expressing unsavory things about oneself\, and peeling away shame\,” Kerr confesses. “If this music has a purpose\, I think it’s to show people how engulfed by shame we are\, and how universal that is to the human experience. By pinpointing my own\, hopefully people are more forgiving of theirs.” \nI Am Not Myself was recorded in various studios across British Columbia alongside producers Adam Kasper (Nirvana\, Foo Fighters)\, Ryan Worsley (Fake Shark)\, Steve Bays (Fur Trade\, Hot Hot Heat)\, Parker Bossley (Fur Trade)\, Louise Burns\, James Younger and more. \nHotel Mira are Charlie Kerr (vocals)\, Clark Grieve (guitar)\, Mike Noble (bass)\, and Cole George (drums). \nTickets\nHotel Mira \, FEBRUARY 2\, 2024 – DOOR TIME: 7:00 PM | F7 Entertainment Group

SUMMARY:WINTERRUPTION 2024
DESCRIPTION:Making Movies w/ El Leon & The Strangers\nSiembra y llegará. As Making Movies delivers its fourth album\, XOPA\, the Kansas City band proves true the maxim which\, in English\, is like an encouraging version of “reap what you sow.” Meant to inspire its recipient to push forward\, the phrase is chanted on the LP’s multi-movement epic\, “La Primera Radio” — but it’s exemplary\, too\, of Making Movies’ musical odyssey. \nThis is a band that makes American music with an asterisk: because Making Movies’ sound encompasses the entirety of the Americas\, not solely the country inarguably centered in mainstream everything. It’s through this broader perspective that Making Movies crunches classic rock into Latin American rhythms — African-derived percussion and styles like rumba\, merengue\, mambo and cumbia — in a way that feels oddly familiar\, yet delivers the invigorating chills of hearing something singularly special. \nEach member — Enrique Chi\, vocalist\, guitarist\, and songwriter; his brother Diego Chi\, bassist and experimental vocalist; percussionist Juan-Carlos Chaurand; and Duncan Burnett\, newly incorporated into the band on drums — is enthusiastically committed to music history\, to uncovering connections between genres and cultures both their own and otherwise. They’re all lifelong musicians too\, hailing from disparate yet similar backgrounds — parents that cherished music\, fathers that kickstarted cultural movements\, families in which gospel is critical to their very existence. \n“The goal is to create music that includes every bit of our individual identities\,” Enrique says. “Music is our way to find a deeper understanding of our own stories. It’s a healing of sorts.” \nBut none of this earned understanding precludes the group’s perpetual evolving. Enrique Chi\, lead vocalist\, guitarist\, and songwriter\, is compelled to share knowledge\, but like any sincere historian\, though\, he also listens. It’s impossible to know everything; in musical lore and its future there is still so much yet to be uncovered. \nThe band’s collective yearning for exploration has attracted a nexus of connections\, many of them legendary players\, like Steve Berlin of iconic rock band Los Lobos\, a recurring collaborator and steadfast champion of the band. An approach from beloved Panamanian musician Rubén Blades led to joint songs like “No te Calles” and “Cómo Perdonar.” Making Movies has also created with indie-folk band Hurray for the Riff Raff\, trumpeter Asdru Sierra of Ozomatli\, Puerto Rican salsero Frankie Negrón\, and all-female mariachi group Flor de Toloache. On the heels of Making Movies’ 2019 album ameri’kana\, the band worked on an eponymous documentary series\, through which they connected with the legendary organist Reverend Charles Hodges\, an soul music pioneer who played alongside Al Green\, and fellow Memphis\, Tennessee\, musicians the Sensational Barnes Brothers. \nMaking Movies creates music that is undoubtedly pedagogical\, yet inarguably kinetic. And their live shows\, despite the precision with which they perform\, are not lacking in dynamism. Every time they perform\, they are wholly present\, feeling every original groove with the same rush of as when they first found it. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDoors – 7:00pm\nShow – 8:00pm \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nTickets on Eventbrite \n$25.00 + Service Fees \nAll tickets subject to service fees \nMaking Movies w/ El Leon & The Strangers Tickets\, Sun\, 28 Jan 2024 at 8:00 PM | Eventbrite \n
