Amos Lee

Saturday, September 10

Radio City Music Hall

1260 6th Avenue

New York, NY

Doors: 7PM / Show: 8PM

Tickets: $39.95 - $84.50

This is the first release from his forthcoming sixth full-length album and debut for John Varvatos Records/Republic Records. 

“Vaporize” indicates a distinct musical evolution for the critically acclaimed Philadelphia singer and songwriter. Driven by expansive production, elegant keys, and his unmistakable soulful delivery, the song immediately enchants and signals a bright new chapter for LEE.

AMOS comments on the release of the new single, “I wrote the verse and chorus of "Vaporize” one day.  Then put it on the shelf for a while until I heard “Studio” by ScHoolboy Q, which made me wanted to find a way to do something with that flavor in a room with a drummer and bass player.  Add to it live strings moods, and an incredible rhythm section, and you get the core of “Vaporize.” 

Label founder and namesake and fashion icon John Varvatos says, "I am extremely excited to have the opportunity to work with such an amazing talent . Amos is one of the great singer songwriters of our  generation , and his new album is groundbreaking ."

The band released K 2.0 in the UK earlier this year. Now, it will be released in North America on August 26.

2016 marks 20 years since Kula Shaker exploded into the UK Britpop Scene with their debut album K, which has sold a million copies.  Their brand of rock with an esoteric mix of psychedelic riffs and ideas, full of Eastern mysticism and full-tilt performances made them the most unique, often termed eccentric, of the Britpop bands in the Nineties.  2016 has seen the band release a brand new album K 2.0 produced by bass player Alonza Bevan and vocalist and guitarist Crispin Mills which showcases their growth and strength as songwriters, having taken K as their inspiration, they bring their sound squarely into the present. This year is also the time for getting back together to tour and perform together. 

Kula Shaker are the great heretics of British Psych Rock, named after a ninth century Indian emperor. Now comprised of original members Crispin Mills (vocals / guitars), Alonza Bevan (bass), Paul Winterhart (drums), and with newer addition, Harry Broadbent (keyboards).

Chelsea Barnes (Lead Singer) says, “I wrote this song how I write most of my songs, with no specific intention. I then learn afterwards what the song is about for myself. The song is personal, it’s actually about the last 2 and a half years of my life. It’s about my experiences at that time and learning about who I am. It’s about acknowledging and understanding my sexuality and falling for my best friend.”
