Grammy Award-winning trio, The Band Perry, today announced Welcome To My Bad Imagination, a series of nine pop-up shows that will kick off March 5th in Atlanta, GA at Terminal West. A full list of dates can be found below.

Welcome To My Bad Imagination pop-up shows will bring fans up close and personal with The Band Perry unlike ever before. The band wanted to give their biggest fans the first glimpse into the new songs and creative vision from their highly-anticipated third studio album due for release later this year. It will also feature a pop-up shop containing exclusive collectors-edition pieces of merchandise designed by the band.

“My Bad Imagination is an album with a ton of layers and surprises for our fans,” said Kimberly Perry. “Our fans have stuck by us over the past year while we’ve been quietly creating our new music, and now we want to get close to them as as we can to start listening and moving to these new sounds together.”

“We want our fans to see and feel as much as they hear My Bad Imagination, so we’ve created this series of pop up shows in some of our favorite small rooms around the country to give them the first look at the designs and music that have led us to this moment of growth for our band,” adds Reid Perry

“We’ll show it to the rest of the world next,” said Neil Perry. “But this moment is about the Family coming together to celebrate a birthday, a new day, the future.”

A presale for tickets for My Bad Imagination Pop Up Shows will launch this Thursday, February 16th at 10AM local time for 24 hours. Presale information can be found by visiting here. The public ticket on sale will begin Friday, February 17th at 10AM local time.

The Band Perry recently released “Stay In The Dark,” the first single from My Bad Imagination. They performed it for the first time live on the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon with special guest Questlove of The Roots on drums. The trio performed in almost complete darkness with dancers lighting them up with handheld spotlights. The remarkable performance can be viewed HERE.

CMW Announces Keynote Interview with John Giddings

John Giddings took the classic route into live music and along the way became one of the biggest and best known agents and promoters in the world. Responsible for many of the most high profile tours of recent years including The Rolling Stones, Madonna, Genesis, Celine Dion, Iggy Pop and David Bowie, John also revived the Isle of Wight Festival, the Woodstock of Europe.

John graduated from Exeter Uni in the 70s, having learned the basics of booking bands as a social secretary, before becoming an agent at MAM. He was in the right place at exactly the right time, as a new wave of fantastic live bands appeared in the form of punk rock.

In no time, Giddings was representing The Adverts and X-Ray Spex before moving onto The Boomtown Rats, The Ramones and Iggy Pop. In the early 80s he formed TBA International and worked with Paul Young, Alison Moyet, Big Country, Howard Jones, Tears for Fears and Duran Duran. In 1987, Giddings literally went solo – forming the Solo Agency Group. His ascent from massively respected British music agent to global touring legend was meteoric. Soon, he was a key player in the world of global stadium tours. The Isle of Wight Festival however is something else, a personal crusade.

Celebrate Canadian filmmaker Rob Stewart’s legacy with free screenings of Sharkwater

We recently lost one of Canada’s best documentary filmmakers, Rob Stewart, one of the nicest, kindest people I’ve met in my career in music and the arts. He was a wildlife photographer, activist, educator and filmmaker who fought for shark conservation, and made the award-winning film Sharkwater. The film focused on the decline of the shark population due to human actions. Sharkwater is widely credited with creating the shark conservation movement, and spurring actions to change government policy on shark finning worldwide.

When Sharkwater first played at the Toronto International Film Festival back in 2006, it was received with both critical and popular acclaim. It made TIFF’s list of the top ten Canadian films of the year, and had the largest opening weekend box office of any Canadian documentary.

On February 25th, Sharkwater- A Tribute to Rob Stewart events will be hosted at select Cineplex theatres across Canada. Tickets to the film are free in exchange for a donation to WWF-Canada, where funds will go towards supporting the continuation of Rob Stewart’s conservation work.

John Cale Of The Velvet Underground Plays Erik Satie’s Vexations on I’ve Got a Secret in 1963

John Cale was the guest on this September 16, 1963 episode of I’ve Got a Secret. His secret centered around his participation in an 18 hour 40 minute piano performance, the first full length presentation of Erik Satie’s “Vexations” held at the Pocket Theater. (Not mentioned, pianists John Cage, David Tudor, Christian Wolff, Philip Corner, Viola Farber, Robert Wood, MacRae Cook, David Del Tredici, James Tenney, Howard Klein (the New York Times reviewer), Joshua Rifkin, with two reserves, and with Cale all took turns playing the piece that is three lines long, the required 840 times on September 9, 1963, from 6 p.m. to 12:40 p.m. the following day. John Cage was the fifth of the many pianists who followed after John Cale who was, of course, the fourth. More importantly, Cage arranged for the entire performance having been introduced to this music while in Paris in 1949. A page of sheet music of the piece was lent to him by Henri Sauguet, and Cage kept a photostat of it with him then, finally performing it 14 years later. I read of this in David Revill’s book “The Roaring Silence.”) Seated also on the I’ve Got a Secret stage was Off Broadway actor, Karl Schenzer, who’s secret was that he was the only person to stay for the entire piano concert.

Kittie Bassist Trish Doan Passes Away at Age 31

Trish Doan (a.k.a. Trisha Jai-Mee Doan), bassist for the Canadian metal band Kittie, has died. She was only 31 years old. The band made the announcement on their Facebook page:

“It is with immeasurable sadness that we share news of the passing of our sister and best friend Trish Doan. Finding the right words is tough. She was so bright and vibrant and talented and we loved her and still do. She was so much more than just a musician or member of the band. She was our blood, our sister and family. Finding our way without her will be challenging, like a ship without a lighthouse, and we are devastated. We ask that you please respect our privacy and her family’s privacy during this difficult time.”

Doan joined Kittie in 2005, left in 2007, and re-joined in 2012. She appears on the band’s 2006 EP, Never Again, and 2007 full-length, Funeral for Yesterday, and toured with the band until her death.
