October Tour Announced
THIEVERY CORPORATION AND MASSIVE ATTACK
Renowned DC production duo Thievery Corporation and British trip-hop pioneers Massive Attack will combine forces this fall for a must-see co-headlining tour. Both acts are celebrated for their mastery of using instrumentation over the top of rich beats as well as stunning live performances. Confirmed tour dates include 2 amazing nights at New York’s Beacon Theatre and a night at the beautiful Santa Barbara Bowl.
Thievery Corporation is a Washington, D.C.-based recording artist and DJ duo consisting of Rob Garza, Eric Hilton, and their supporting artists. Their infectious live show features 15 musicians and a carousel of performers unlike any other live band playing today. In 2009, Thievery Corporation sold out 5 consecutive nights at Washington, DC’s 9:30 Club and recently finished a 13 date European tour including Morocco, Rome, Athens, Paris, Berlin and Amsterdam. They recently announced the release of It Takes A Thief, the band’s first ‘best of’ album, coming out on September 21st through their own label, ESL Music.
Massive Attack, one of the UK’s most iconic acts, released their fifth studio album Heligoland in February this year to huge critical acclaim. The Britsol collective have sold in excess of 10 million records to date. Its core members are Robert Del Naja and Grant Marshall but they enlist different collaborators for each album. Heligoland features Guy Garvey from Elbow, Damon Albarn (Blur/Gorillaz), reggae veteran and long time collaborator Horace Andy, Tunde Adebimpe from TV on the Radio and Martina Topley Bird who featured on fellow Bristolian Tricky’s debut album Maxinquaye. Their live gigs feature a stunning LED light show, devised with ongoing collaborators United Visual Artists, whose work has been seen in London’s V&A Museum.
