Pearl and the Beard’s show at Music Hall of Williamsburg is currently being featured on the front page of The Deli Magazine’s website.  Alternatively, you can get directly to the article here.  You don’t have to take our word for it…Deli says “If you haven’t been to a Pearl & the Beard  show yet, make this the night.  You’re bound to return for more music,  more soul, more energy and more love.”  This is definitely the show to attend — it’s an Extended Single Release Show, celebrating the release of “Prodigal Daughter” as a single, plus a brand new music video and three never-before-heard solo numbers, one from each band member.  Hope to see you there!

Lacrymosa

Keeping yesterday’s promise, today we brush up your knowledge of our very own Lacrymosa, who will be kicking of Pearl and the Beard’s “Prodigal Daughter” Extended Release Show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on 2/16 (North Highlands will also be playing).  Lacrymosa is the solo moniker of Ms. Caitlin Pasko, singer-songwriter and pianist extraordinaire.  Her 2010 debut LP, Selah, displays all the heart and talent of Regina Spektor and Kate Bush, with her own added twist (you can listen to “Everything Grows” above).  The Village Voice says: “Shadowy, piano-playing chanteuse Caitlin Pasko is Lacrymosa, a drifty-dreamy fog of theatrical belting, twisted art-folk croon, bold melodies, and spectral tenderness—a haunted house version of uneasy troubadours like Antony, Joanna Newsom, or Bat For Lashes.”

North Highlands

Today we’d like to introduce you to NYC-based band North Highlands, who will be opening for Pearl and the Beard at their “Prodigal Daughter” Single Release Show at Music Hall of Williamsburg on February 16th (Lacrymosa kicks off the evening).  The upbeat sextet have been making music together since their days at NYU.  They released their debut LP, Wild One, at the end of last year, and you can listen to the first single, “Benefits,” above.  Stereogum says “‘Benefits’…sounds like the work of a band in the throes of songwriting maturation: the verse’s lilt cedes to a dance-rock break, the guitars buried in the mix but arpeggiating around singer Brenda Melvi’s sweetly intoned “Take what you want”s in a way that might recall a gentler Metric.”
