“Carmine and Matteo have made their distinctive mark in music both as artists and as label owners,” says A&R executive Ryan Roy, who helped bring the duo to Interscope. “We are excited to collaborate with them to bring their music to an even larger global audience.” “Over their tremendous careers as artists and label owners, Carmine and Matteo have helped shape dance music culture for an entire generation,” adds John Janick, chairman and CEO of Interscope Geffen A&M. “Interscope Records is a natural partner to help continue our vision and journey,” Milleri says in a statement. The pair - Milleri and Carmine Conte - have been making music together since 2008 and are now based in Berlin. Afterlife shows have happened in London, Berlin, Tulum and beyond, with three shows happening at The Brooklyn Mirage this September selling out in 30 minutes. The pair’s Afterlife show has been a huge draw in Ibiza since 2016, with the Afterlife residency launching again at the island’s mega-club Hï this month. “The recordings are just a formality to get people to come and see the live show, because that’s really the knockout punch.Inside Daniel Nigro's New Imprint Amusement RecordsĪs melodic house and techno has risen in popularity in the dance world over the past several years, so too has Tale Of Us’ profile risen into increasingly visible realms. “The live show is what we do,” Snyder said. It’s our chance to show people as opposed to just telling them on the recordings.”
“Other songs may go to very different places. “Some of the songs are going to be very similar to those three- or four-minute recordings,” said guitarist Nick Hosford. A typical set promises to be as high energy as improvisatory, and certain songs aren’t necessarily going to sound the same as they do on the album. To me, it’s almost like the first album of this Outer Vibe.”īut the band insists that its music needs to be experienced at a live show. Everybody was really excited to write new music. “We kind of found a happy place with our band, with our dynamics. “For us, it was like a new beginning, and a much needed one,” Zuidgeest said. “Full Circle,” which was released in May, is the band’s third full-length, but the members describe the LP as a stylistic rebirth of sorts. We kind of made this melting pot, and whatever the song calls for, it’s what we supply.” “We’re capable of playing rock ‘n’ roll, reggae, punk, surf. “We’ve had a lot of years of experimenting and playing different styles of music,” said lead vocalist Sean Zuidgeest. “After some experiments into different genres, we eventually landed on something.” “When I joined the band, we sat down and went over our influences and the sounds that we liked,” said drummer Noah Snyder. The Outer Vibe’s style isn’t easily described, and their influences are appropriately diverse: They cite surf guitarist Dick Dale, the AOR rock of the Eagles, the spacey jams of the Grateful Dead, ’60s sunshine pop and early Motown. “We were a seven-piece band for about half a minute.” “At one point, we had a horn section and a couple guitars,” said Lisa Kacos, who plays trumpet and keyboards. The band jokingly likens its early days to Spinal Tap’s constantly rotating lineup, though none of their drummers ever spontaneously combusted onstage. The Outer Vibe’s current lineup has been in place for two years now, but several members have come and gone over the years. The members all met while attending or teaching at the music school at Grand Rapids Community College, and they’ve performed with various lineups since the early 2000s. The experience is what they can count on with us.” We like to say that we take people on a musical adventure.
“We write songs about island weather, to keep us in that mood and to keep us happy. “We come from the cold heartland of Michigan, and it really influences our songwriting,” said bassist Andrew Dornoff. The five-piece, which adds Spokane to its travel itinerary on Monday, has devoted itself to transporting its listeners to an island paradise.
The Outer Vibe describes its work as a “musical vacation,” and hearing the surf-inflected sound on its latest album “Full Circle” (not to mention the colorful tropical fruit adorning the cover), you’d never guess the band hailed from Grand Rapids, Michigan.
