Pier 2.0 DIGITAL ENHANCEMENTS WILL DEBUT THROUGHOUT THE CONCERT SEASON he Twilight Concert Series is a beloved tradition in Santa Monica. Lovers of music, sun, the beach and fun gather every year to revisit favorite restaurants, see familiar faces, relive great concerts past and touch base with friends they may not have seen for the rest of the year. Organizers are justifiably proud of the community created around the shows, but just as the waves relentless pound the ocean, efforts to upgrade the TCS experience are ceaseless. “Whenever you have a long-standing tradition, it's easy to imagine the momentum will just keep going,” said Pier Administrator Jay Farrand. “But you really need to periodically inject some fresh life into it to keep it engaging without sacrificing what people love about it.” Upgrades will be unveiled throughout the coming months of shows and will include changes to the stage, interactive art projects, surprise Easter eggs on social media channels and the digitiza-
T
tion of some previously mundane tasks that will enhance the easy-going vibe that has made the Pier world famous. Farrand said the presence of the Silicon Beach technology industry has given TCS a shot in the arm. The ready access to technology savvy companies has birthed some creative ideas for enriching the shows and Farrand said the timing of the upgrades was perfect as changes to some of Santa Monica’s physical environment will likely increase the interest in future shows. “It is a great moment for live music fans in LA right now with tons of new venues and concerts coming online,” he said. “And while none have the history or the amazing setting of Twilight, it forces us to make sure we're delivering a top notch experience that evolves with the times. With the EXPO line opening soon, we want to make sure we're still the best game in town because a whole new community of people will have access to us soon and we want them to fall in love with the Pier just like the rest of the
community has.” While some changes are coming, Farrand said traditionalists shouldn’t worry. After 30 successful years of shows, he said organizers know what the people want and the upgrades to this year’s season are all about enhancement, not replacement. To that end, many of the traditional vendors and partners are returning. Australia Rocks the Pier will continue to showcase up and coming Aussie talent while the diverse acts bring will be sure to entertain fans of any and all genres. At the end of the day, the folks behind TCS said everything they do is about fostering the love of music for generations to come. “Can an old wooden pier become 2.0? Heck yea it can,” said Farrand. “Pier 2.0 is coming, from how we showcase talent to how we tell stories and even how we experience the show. Can't wait for this Summer.”

MORRIS DAY & THE TIME with DÂM-FUNK Born in Minneapolis, Day had a flair for fashion. Inspired by photographs of his grandpa in zoot suits, a true fashionista was formed! Day went to school with Prince Rogers Nelson and sang in Prince's first band Grand Central. Prince grew as an artist and so did the opportunity around him. The Time was originally created as Prince's alter-ego to be seen
as the cool, street-wise funk band contrasting Prince's more soulful R&B sound. After looking at several lead vocalists, Prince wanted someone with mad talent so he cast his high school friend - the funky, the fabulous Morris Day. Soon after, the world as introduced to the prolific Morris Day and the Time. They were cast in Purple Rain which captured the exploding Minneapolis music scene at its peak. Morris Day burst onto the public scene with the group's self-titled album, The Time, which included "Get It Up," "Cool,"
and "Girl." Soon after the world was introduced the prolific Minneapolis music marvel, the group went on to record three more albums, including What Time Is It? (featuring the hits "777-9311," "Wild and Loose," "Walk," and "Gigolos Get Lonely Too") and Ice Cream Castle, (which included the hit "Jungle Love"). After three albums Morris Day launched his solo career, releasing three albums: The Color of Success, Daydreaming, and Guaranteed. Combined sales of Morris Day's solo work and The Time is in excess of 10 million units.
When asked, where have you been? Day smiles his smooth Cheshire (mischievous) grin. "I've been waiting for just the right time to launch a new project. I felt that Hip Hop has had such a strong hold on the industry the timing needed to be perfect. I've continued to record over 100 songs and to tour. With new artists sampling old-school music, my phone started ringing off the hook. I knew it was the right time." Most recently, Morris contributed a cover of Rockwell's "Somebody's Watching Me" for the Haunted Mansion soundtrack and gave an unforgettable performance in Kevin Smith's hit 2001 film, Jay and Silent Bob Strike Back, in which Day and the band served as a running plot device and performed a soaring "Jungle Love" finale. "Kevin said he'd written the script with us in mind," nods Day. In his new album, Day combines classic old school sounds with new music featuring hot new artists. He delivers energetic vocals and witty lyrics, complimented by his trademark smooth-as-silk dance moves, all wrapped up in flashy, dapper fashions! The time couldn't be any better for It's About Time. Somebody bring the man a mirror- it's a brand new day.

WEEK 2 ~ JULY 16
REAL ESTATE with HIPPO CAMPUS The most collaborative Real Estate record to date, Atlas was written by Martin Courtney, Matt Mondanile, Alex Bleeker and Jackson Pollis while cruising through the Arizona desert and during a presser in Madrid, in a practice room in Greenpoint, Brooklyn and in an attic in the band's hometown of Ridgewood, New Jersey. It was recorded in the summer of 2013 in Chicago with Tom Shick (Sean Lennon, Low, Cibo Matto) at Wilco's loft studio where new member Matt Kallman (formerly of Girls) joined the fold on keyboards. Over the course of five years of collaboration and friendship Courtney, Matt Mondanile and Alex Bleeker have honed a masterfully focused aesthetic feel and unique sense of atmosphere in their work, a kind of subtle American impressionism that belies their relatively small discography. Theirs is a subtly inimitable sound that achieves a unique timelessness in its assured identity. Nevertheless, Atlas does not represent a resting on the laurels of Days. “We wanted to make a cleaner, more well-rehearsed record that reflected the way we've come together as a live band over the last few years”, explains Courtney. “Basically we wanted to make a better record than Days without MORRIS DAY & THE TIME

changing the general structure of who we are as a band.” The songs of Atlas still unfurl in iridescent, warm webs of Courtney and Mondanile's guitar, they're still anchored by Bleeker's nimble bass and they're still patient and deliberate - ebbing and flowing, frequently building to moments of euphoric release in a way that feels perfectly organic. Likewise the band's searching, human songwriting still illuminates the quiet, important moments of life in exquisitely minimal language. Intimate and spare, these ten new songs unfold as one impossibly warm, enveloping suite - conjuring quiet, latenight drives down wooded highways, rural rambles with friends (and maybe a love interest) on the sunniest afternoons of the year, and hazy summer evenings spent alone, thinking back to those times and the people who were with you for them.

¡CUBANISMO!
Santa Monica Recycling Center
with CHICANO BATMAN Jesús Alemañy , founder of Latin orchestra ¡Cubanismo!, came to fame as a brilliant 15- year old trumpet player for the iconic Cuban son group Sierra Maestra. The all-star ¡Cubanismo! orchestra plays sizzling dance tunes full of swaggering horn charts and wild polyrhythms that recall the vintage bigband son sound, traditional rumba, chacha and lesser known danzon and pa’ca rhythms arranged in the descarga (jam) tradition developed by Cuban jazz players of the ‘40s.

The expression cubanismo designates something specifically Cuban, or unique to the island and not common to the general Spanish culture of Latin America. Utterly different from the genre known as Latin jazz, ¡Cubanismo! features danceable music from beginning to end, celebrating the legacy of Cuban music in other dance styles from around the world. The Cuban son, which dates back to the turn of the century, is the root of much of the up-tempo international pop music, from African soukous to New York salsa. ¡Cubanismo! takes you on a journey to the dancing heart of Latin music. The 15piece orchestra of Cuban all-stars showcases the bright tropical blasts of Cuba's hottest dance music. Led by Jesús Alemañy, the brilliant young trumpeter formerly of Sierra Maestra, the band features famed conguero "Tata" Güines, Orlando "Maracas" Valle; saxophonist Yosvany Terry from Los Terry, his family's Afro-Cuban group; the great Cuban bassist Carlos del Puerto; and tres player Pancho Amat. The all-star percussion lineup boasts the venerable "Tata" Güines and Roberto Vizcaino on tumbadoras (conga drums), and the alwaysinventive timbalero Emilio del Monte. Together, they punch out an irresistible blend of freewheeling dance tunes. "Powerhouse all-star touring band that plays a repertoire of traditional Cuban music from a variety of genres." JD MCPHERSON AMERICANA
WEEK 4 ~ JULY 30
JD MCPHERSON with SARAH GAYLE MEECH You could mistake JD McPherson for a revivalist, given how few other contemporary artists are likely to assert, as he boldly does, that “'Keep a Knockin' by Little Richard is the best record ever made. It's so insanely visceral, you feel like it's going to explode your speakers. If I'm listening to that in the car, I find myself having to brake suddenly. I can listen to that and it makes me feel like I'm 20 feet tall. And the feeling of joy I get from that record is always going to be the real push behind trying to make music.” For his most recent record, McPherson wanted to maintain raw power while also capturing the more mysterious side of the records he loves. To that slightly spookier end, he enlisted as a collaborator Mark Neill, known for his work as a producer and engineer with versed-inthe-past acts going back to the Paladins in the 1980s, but, most recently, for recording The Black Keys and Dan Auerbach-a friend of McPherson's who co-wrote the new album's “Bridge Builder.” Talking up one of the freshly minted tunes, “Bridge Builder,” McPherson describes it as being “the psychedelic Coasters.” That no such thing really existed prior to this album doesn't deter him. “This is something I actually talked about with Mark at the beginning of the
record: 'I want to make a '50s psychedelic record!'” McPherson certainly doesn't begrudge the attention that Signs & Signifiers unexpectedly brought him. “If it hadn't been for the 'North Side Gal' video, this probably never would have caught on,” he says, recalling the fame he found on YouTube even before Rounder picked up his indie release. “That's how we found our label and found our management. I was still teaching school, and here I am with got this video that's like a million hits. I'm like, what? I had no plans to quit my job. Luckily, I lost it.” A middle school art department's loss was Rounder's and the rock world's gain. Since the debut album came out, McPherson has played for a lot of genre nerds who pick up on every single influence. But he and his band have also opened for acts ranging from Bob Seger (getting a standing ovation at an arena in Detroit, the headliner's hometown) to the Dave Matthews Band to Nick Lowe to Eric Church (who sought him out to write some songs together). For a Halloween night 2014 show at the Forum in L.A., super-fan Josh Homme, one of McPherson's biggest supporters, handpicked him to open for Queens of the Stone Age. These may not all seem like natural pairings, but the music is primal and melodic enough that, after a few minutes, it never fails to make sense even to audiences with the least of expectations and musical educations.
ELECTRONIC POP
WEEK 5 ~ AUGUST 6
BEN BROWNING OF CUT COPY with DMA'S A pulsating solo effort from electronic pop crooning man-child and Cut Copy bassist Ben Browning is the shiniest, newest addition to the Cutters stable of artists. Prior to starting on Cut Copy's most recent album Zonoscope, Ben
Browning dug into his trusty mind-hole and began penning tracks for a solo release, culminating in the new 12-inch EP which is to be released by Cutters Records. I Can't Stay is the lead single, taken from Browning's forthcoming EP on Cutters records. It opens with an almost calypso guitar lead, before opening up into bouncing bass driven clubpop, the likes of which wouldn't have been entirely out of place on the recent SEE BIOS PAGE 8

Cutters' own Knightlife, who has made spacey disco bliss his stock in trade, has transformed this into and epic, infectious melodic house gem. And DFA's Juan Maclean opts for an energized version, more faithful to the original, much like classic expertly finessed dance mixes of old.
DMA’S DMA'S is the musical project of Johnny Took, Matt Mason & Tommy O'Dell - three best friends from Newtown, Australia. Having cut their teeth playing with a number of different bands in Sydney's inner west over the years, the trio began writing and recording demos in Johnny's bedroom around 2 years ago. Set on taking their time to hone their craft and sound, the three friends soon found themselves with a library of nearly 40 demos. Finally content with the identity that the songs had taken, DMA'S released their debut single in February this year in the form of a track simply titled 'Delete' (along with a short film by director Mitchell Grant that was filmed in Johnny's bedroom - the same location that the band recorded and produced the track) and despite having never played a show under this moniker, the reaction was instantly overwhelming as critics and fans alike proceeded to jump

It would seem that word continued to quickly spread around their hometown of Sydney - illustrated by the band's first show drawing over 450 punters and leaving another 100 or so unable to get in! From that point DMA'S have hit the touring circuit of Australia, selling out multiple rooms around the country and getting the call up to played the respected Splendour in the Grass Festival - sharing the stage with acts such as Interpol and Future Islands.

Across its 17 tracks and 69 minutes, pom pom, the most recent record by Ariel Pink, is unfiltered Ariel, a pied piper of the absurd, with infectious tales of romance, murder, frog princes and JellO. The record sees the Los Angeles native strike it out alone, returning to the solo moniker he has adopted for well over a decade when cementing his name as a king of pop perversion. From demented kiddie tune collaborations with the legendary Kim Fowley (songs like 'Jell-O' and 'Plastic Raincoats In The Pig Parade' were written with Fowley in his hospital room during his recent battle with cancer), to beatific, windswept pop ('Put Your Number In My Phone', 'Dayzed Inn Daydreams'), scuzz-

CLASSIC ROCK
WEEK 8 ~ AUGUST 27
JEFFERSON STARSHIP with PURPLE MOUNTAINS MAJESTIES RUSTY'S EAC WINNER
Paul Kantner founded Jefferson Airplane in 1965. The Airplane were the biggest rock group in America during the 1960s and the first San Francisco band to sign a major record deal, paving the way for other legends like Grateful Dead & Janis Joplin. They headlined the original Woodstock Festival in 1969 and like The Beatles with whom they are critically compared, lasted a mere seven years ... though their influence and impact on rock music continues well into the 21st century. In 1974 Mr. Kantner created Jefferson Starship and again enjoyed chart-topping success. Paul, & Jefferson Airplane were inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1996, the same year as Pink Floyd. Jefferson Starship, the name created by Paul for his 1971 solo debut “Blows Against The Empire” recording, has endured 40 years as one of rock's most legendary bands. That recording was the first and only to ever be nominated for literary science fiction's Hugo Award. Co-founder David Freiberg also start-
ed the legendary Quicksilver Messenger Service, the Fillmore era San Francisco band who often shared the bill with The Dead & The Airplane). David is a world famous singer, producer, composer and multi-instrumentalist. He was also a member of Jefferson Airplane, and co-wrote one of Jefferson Starship's alltime biggest hits, “Jane” - which he performs. From 1973 to 1978 Donny Baldwin was with the "Elvin Bishop" Band. During this time he toured and recorded six albums, which included the #1 hit single, "Fooled Around and Fell In Love". From 1981 to 1989, Donny was a member of Jefferson Starship. In January 1994, he joined the Jerry Garcia Band. Chris Smith joined Jefferson Starship in 1998, having toured with The Supremes and Lou Bega. Chris has gone on to place music in film and television including the #1 rated series “CSI.” In 2000 he assumed the seeming impossible task of playing piano and (synth) bass simultaneously … a feat only duplicated by the legendary Ray Manzarek of The Doors. Cathy Richardson joined Jefferson Starship in 2008, and anchors the historic 'role' made famous by Grace Slick. She is an award winning music artist, graphic artist, and clothing designer. Her professional credits include fronting her own successful rock band, producing and releasing seven albums on various indie record labels. She was nominated for a Grammy Award for Art Direction of her band's 2003 release, “The Road to Bliss,” which also received two DIY Awards (Do It Yourself in Film, Books and Music) for Album Art of the Year and Producer of the Year.

REBIRTH BRASS BAND with MILES MOSLEY AND THE WESTCOAST GET DOWN The Grammy Award winning NOLA soundtrack straight from the streets of Treme. Rebirth Brass Band have continued their innovative, contemporary approach to New Orleans music following up 2012's The Grammy Award winning album Rebirth of New Orleans with 2014's Move Your Body which was released on Basin Street Records this past June. Since its release, the record hit #1 and has been at the top of both the CMJ & Jazz Week Radio charts. Whether seen on HBO's Treme or at their legendary Tuesday night gig at The Maple Leaf, Rebirth Brass Band is a true New Orleans institution. Formed in 1983 by the Frazier brothers, the band has evolved from playing the streets of the French Quarter to playing festivals and stages all over the world. While committed to upholding the tradition of brass bands, they also extended into the realms of funk
and hip hop to create their signature soul moving sound. Their signature brand of heavy funk has not only won over several generations of music lovers, it has become the soundtrack to an entire city. Rebirth Brass Band's album “Rebirth of New Orleans” earned them the title of the first brass band ever to win a Grammy. ”Rebirth of New Orleans” reached #9 on the Billboard Jazz Chart and #1 on the CMJ Jazz Charts. Rebirth has several cameos on the hit HBO series Treme as well as many soundtrack contributions. Rebirth Brass Band has shared the stage with Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Grateful Dead, The Meters, The P Funk All Stars, Maceo Parker, Dr. John, The Ohio Players, Ani DiFranco
