Braid Announce Frame & Canvas 25th Anniversary Reissue and U.S. Tour

By Evan Minsker

Illinois emo favorites Braid have announced a 25th anniversary reissue of their acclaimed 1998 album, Frame & Canvas . Remixed and remastered from producer J. Robbins’ original tapes, it’s out April 7 via Polyvinyl . The reissue comes with expanded liner notes and unseen archival press photos. Check out a new video for “Killing a Camera,” featuring previously unreleased footage, below.

Braid have also announced a summer tour, which takes them across the United States in July. They’re set to appear at Birmingham, Alabama’s Furnace Fest in September, too.

“As the original recording and mixing session of the album was done in a five-day panic, we’re thrilled that J. had the idea and the opportunity to take the time to revisit the raw tracks and create new mixes,” Braid’s Bob Nanna said a statement. “In addition, working with our long-time friends Polyvinyl on this reissue has been a major burst of nostalgia and joy. We look forward to bringing that energy back on the road this year and look forward to playing the album for excited friends, old and new.”

Braids confirm 2023 tour dates; first u.s. shows in 4 years.

Canadian art rock band Braids have announced their first round of tour dates for 2023, supporting their forthcoming album ‘Euphoric Recall.’

Canadian art rock band Braids have announced their first round of tour dates for 2023. Supporting their forthcoming album Euphoric Recall (out April 28th on Secret City Records ), the limited run of shows will be a special performance series featuring a string ensemble. It’ll include several dates in Canada, London, and their first US shows in over four years, with stops in Los Angeles and New York City.

For more information or to purchase tickets, please visit: https://www.braidsmusic.com/tour/ .

The band comments:

“This upcoming concert series will be our most ambitious live shows yet, as we are joined on stage by string ensembles and immersive live visuals. Our new album Euphoric Recall sees us writing and arranging for strings for the very first time. As the album took shape we knew that we wanted to have the lush, cinematic textures of a real string ensemble. We set out teaching ourselves how to compose for strings – in the room all 3 of us throwing melodic and textural ideas back and forth – a real creative sandbox approach.

“Having the arrangements come to life in the studio was an absolute highlight for us and as we heard the songs elevated to new levels, we knew that we had to present a version of the live show with the full ensemble. These six shows, in some of our favorite music cities, will be the very first taste of that, and the first time we’ve ever played live with expanded orchestration. We have also been working with installation/digital media artist Nima Navab on creating immersive AI-generated visuals to accompany our album.

“We’ve been sharing this over the past couple months online and it’s been fun to see people as intrigued by the uncanny visuals as we are. These immersive and sometimes overwhelming videos will even further elevate the shows into the most holistic presentation of our musical world. Over the past 10 years we have been lucky enough to play over 500 concerts all around the world, so we see this performance series as an exciting new journey for us. These will certainly be shows not to miss. We look forward to seeing you out there!”

Braids Announce 2023 Tour Dates With String Ensemble

It'll include several dates in Canada, London, and their first US shows in over four years.

Canadian art rock band Braids have announced their first round of tour dates of 2023. Supporting their forthcoming album Euphoric Recall (out April 28th on Secret City Records), the limited run of shows will be a special performance series featuring a string ensemble.

It'll include several dates in Canada, London, and their first US shows in over four years with stops in Los Angeles and New York City. For more information or to purchase tickets, CLICK HERE .

Tour Dates:

05/27 - Los Angeles, CA @ Knitting Factory NoHo 05/30 - Toronto, ON @ Paradise Theatre 06/01 - Ottawa, ON @ Club SAW 06/02 - Montreal QC @ Society for Arts & Technology 06/04 - New York, NY @ Racket 06/10 - London, UK @ Kings Place Hall One

"This upcoming concert series will be our most ambitious live shows yet, as we are joined on stage by string ensembles and immersive live visuals," stated the band. "Our new album Euphoric Recall sees us writing and arranging for strings for the very first time. As the album took shape we knew that we wanted to have the lush, cinematic textures of a real string ensemble.

We set out teaching ourselves how to compose for strings - in the room all 3 of us throwing melodic and textural ideas back and forth - a real creative sandbox approach.

A freer and wholly anew effort, Euphoric Recall finds the trio abandoning strategy, burning it down, and realizing their love record. Love, all of it; the unbound bliss, the budding impulses, and the messy imperfections, a supernova swirled up in a suite of bold, melodic, symphonic pop songs surrendered to the present.

The complexity of love and healing is not a new subject for Braids, but the vantage from which they see and sense it here is. Standell-Preston's lyrics draw generously from her heart space, often writing on the spot, in just a few takes. Lines are vivid, exhilarating, and evocative, a directness indicative of fully knowing oneself and engaging the moment.

As songs emerged, the rhythms and textures became brighter and looser, brimming with life. Written, recorded, self-produced, and mixed at Studio Toute Garnie, their Montréal studio, the music of Euphoric Recall is both unrushed and urgent, lush yet captured with in-the-room clarity. Elements weave in and out, shading a rich universe without crowding it. Braids have teased several songs from Euphoric Recall to date, including "Apple," a bubbling "shoegaze love song" (Consequence) and "Evolution," a clear eyed and calm banger that Brooklyn Vegan called "a quietly propulsive track whose dialed-in lyrics allow the electronics to shine."

The album's first single "Retriever" is also out now, a luscious and meandering 9-minute journey that Stereogum raved "builds and glides over an expansive runtime," while Exclaim! stated "the song is a sleek, bubbling odyssey that incorporated delicate drum machines and waves of metallic guitar."

Braid’s “Frame & Canvas” 25th Anniversary Limited Edition Release from Polyvinyl

The entirely remixed and remastered album from Jawbox’s J. Robbins’ original tapes also features unseen photos from Andy Mueller and expanded liner notes. The band also announced 11 tour dates in the US starting in July.

As the original recording and mixing session of the album was done in a five-day panic, we’re thrilled that J. had the idea and the opportunity to take the time to revisit the raw tracks and create new mixes. In addition, working with our long-time friends Polyvinyl on this reissue has been a major burst of nostalgia and joy. We look forward to bringing that energy back on the road this year and look forward to playing the album for excited friends, old and new. Bob Nanna

We fired off a last-minute email to Braid’s  Bob Nanna  with ten burning questions, including a bonus question from Mark Rose of Spitalfield! Read the interview, and check out the newly released Killing A Camera music video below.

Watching the video for Killing a Camera in 2023 is like opening a DIY punk time capsule. What is something from that pre-smartphone era that seemed like a pain at the time but that you might look back on now in a fond or nostalgic way?

Bob Nanna: Obviously, cameras and film come to mind – in 1997 and 1998, I took pictures of each crowd at each show with a disposable camera. Same with all of my photos of just the random activities of being on the road. It was a pain to have to lug it all around and then hope it got developed correctly at Walgreens or wherever, but it’s nice to have filter-free memories of those times that I can hold in my hand.

I also loved making cassette mixes for each tour. I’d usually do 5-10 of them, and they’d get played and re-played over the course of a 6-week tour. Obviously now we have the massive convenience of every song ever being at our disposal, but back then it was like – you get these 20 songs 20 times, and you’re going to like it dammit.

When Braid was writing and recording Frame & Canvas, did you realize you were working on something special that would still connect with audiences 25 years later?

BN: We sure didn’t. We worked in that way where we would write enough songs to make a full album, record it, and then immediately start writing more songs. We weren’t planning on it to be our last album (at the time), and I think having that be our de facto swan song helped make the album into something people could spend time with and dissect and enjoy. Don’t get me wrong; I’m psyched that people can connect with it now. I can still connect with it even! But we weren’t sitting around Inner Ear congratulating ourselves.

What artists did you and your bandmates listen to when making Frame & Canvas?

BN: We were listening to a lot of our friends’ bands – Cap’n Jazz, the Promise Ring, Rainer Maria, The Get Up Kids, Castor – and then literally anything and everything that was coming out of DC (or sounded like it did) – Jawbox, Hoover, Lincoln, Fugazi obviously.

What was your songwriting process like 25 years ago, and how has your process changed over the years?

BN: We were such an efficient band, and we all loved “making songs” literally from “how does it begin” to “how does it end” as opposed to jamming for hours until something interesting comes up. I find it difficult to work in any other way, frankly, so it definitely stuck.

Between all of your full band and solo performances, is there a show that stands out as one you’ll always remember?

BN: For Braid, I have great memories of so many different shows for a variety of reasons, but the one that stands out to me is on that last weekend of shows in 1999 – bringing a spinning prize wheel of 32 songs onstage at fireside bowl and having it dictate our setlist and giving out fun prizes to the crowd from our history. Someone got a grocery bag full of cassettes from our van, for instance. It was super fun.

Favorite venue to play, active or defunct?

BN: It’s Metro by far. I have nothing but great experiences there. Still to this day.

Favorite tour meal?

BN: I’ll say generally, breakfast at a local diner. No specific place. I have a pretty strict “no food 4 hours before the set” rule so often times, dinners aren’t very interesting or exciting – usually I’m eating after the show, and it’s cold. But breakfast – I love sitting around the table with everyone and talking about the previous night over coffee.

If you could introduce Braid to a newcomer with just 3 songs, which songs would you pick?

BN: I’ll say “Please Drive Faster,” “Killing a Camera,” and “A Dozen Roses.” I think they are all pretty catchy and cover a few different moods.

If Weird Al covered a Braid song, what song do you think would work best, and what would the title be?

BN: Can Riot Fest please make this happen? I think “what a wonderful poodle” could be a thing. Or maybe “Never will Come for Gus” about, you know, a guy named Gus.

BONUS QUESTION (from Mark Rose, of Spitalfield): “If Braid was managing a Fantasy Football team together, what would your team name be?”

BN: Please Drive Faster (more points that way)

Madonna Joined by Salma Hayek for ‘Vogue’ in Mexico City as Celebration Tour Wraps

Taylor Swift Likes Post of Kansas City Chiefs' New Draft Pick

Madonna has just one show left on her current itinerary, a free concert on May 4 at Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, that Visit Rio officials said is forecast to bring in two million fans. Entrance to the show, sponsored by Itaú Bank, is on a first-come, first-served basis on the day of the event. Fans who can’t attend will be able to watch the show broadcast live on TV Globo.

Mexico City hosted Madonna for a series of five concerts at the Palacio De Los Deportes. Last weekend, on Saturday, April 20, the singer spoke of her love of Mexican culture and Kahlo, telling the audience how she discovered the painter’s art as a young girl.

Every Madonna Tour, Ranked

“As you know, I have a great history, a long history with Mexico,” said Madonna, who reportedly met with the Kahlo family at their home in the city neighborhood of El Pedregal.

“When I was a girl,” she said, “I discovered Frida Kahlo. I went to the only museum that existed in Detroit, and there were Diego Rivera murals everywhere, but to be honest, I was more interested in a small picture in a corner, of a beautiful woman with her hair gathered in braids and intense eyes.”

The Celebration Tour kicked off in the fall, after a delayed start due to Madonna’s hospitalization for a serious bacterial infection over the summer.

March 23, 2024 Shooting at Moscow concert venue leaves over 130 dead

By Chris Lau, Andrew Raine , Catherine Nicholls, Issy Ronald, Lauren Said-Moorhouse and Tori B. Powell , CNN

Russian singer offers to pay for funerals and treatments 

From CNN's Mia Alberti 

Russian singer Shaman said he will pay for the funerals of the victims and treatments of those injured during the terror attack at the venue.

"We are all one big family. And in a family there is no such thing as somebody else's grief," the singer, known for his nationalistic views, said in a video posted on the Russian social media network Vkontakte to his more than 600,000 followers.

"My people, any troubles and misfortunes have always united our country. They have made Russia tougher and stronger. It will not be possible to frighten and break us this time either," he said. 

Correction: This story has been updated after an earlier version incorrectly stated that Shaman is a singer in the band Picnic.

Russia thwarted several ISIS related incidents in March, state media reports

Over the last month, Russia has thwarted several ISIS related incidents in March alone, according to Russia’s state media agency RIA-Novosti.

US warned Russia after steady stream of intelligence that ISIS-K was determined to attack, source says

From CNN’s Alex Marquardt, Natasha Bertrand and Jennifer Hansler 

Starting in November, there has been a steady stream of intelligence that ISIS-K was determined to attack in Russia, according to two sources familiar with the intelligence.

It was “fairly specific” intelligence, rising to the level of a duty to warn and the US intelligence community did indeed warn Russia, one of the sources said. But it’s not clear if this is directly tied to the March 7 warning by the US embassy in Moscow. 

Russian state media  reported  on March 7 that the FSB prevented an ISIS attack on a synagogue in Moscow, according to Reuters. The ISIS attackers were killed in a gunfight, the reports said.

A US official told CNN that the US is working to determine who is culpable for the attack at a Moscow concert venue.

Adrienne Watson, National Security Council spokesperson, issued a statement Friday on the US warning Russia about an attack.

"Earlier this month, the US government had information about a planned terrorist attack in Moscow – potentially targeting large gatherings, to include concerts – which prompted the State Department to issue a public advisory to Americans in Russia. The US Government also shared this information with Russian authorities in accordance with its longstanding ‘duty to warn’ policy."

Macron condemns Moscow terror attack and expresses solidarity with all Russians, Elysee Palace says

From CNN's Jonny Hallam

French President Emmanuel Macron said he "strongly condemns the terrorist attack claimed by the Islamic State" that left at least 40 people dead and more than 100 injured in a Moscow concert hall Friday, according to AFP and Reuters citing the Elysee Palace.

UN Security Council condemns "heinous" terrorist attack in Moscow

From CNN's Richard Roth and Mia Alberti

The United Nations Security Council condemned the "heinous and cowardly" attack at the Crocus concert hall in Krasnogorsk, in Moscow, on Friday, which left 40 dead and more than 140 people injured.

"The members of the Security Council expressed their deepest sympathy and condolences to the families of the victims and to the Russian people, and they wished a speedy and full recovery to those who were injured," the UNSC said in a statement.

The members of the UNSC urged all States to cooperate with the Russian government to "hold perpetrators, organizers, financiers and sponsors of these reprehensible acts of terrorism accountable and bring them to justice."

"The members of the Security Council reiterated that any acts of terrorism are criminal and unjustifiable, regardless of their motivation, wherever, whenever and by whomsoever committed," it said.

Moscow terror attack leaves 115 people hospitalized, 60 in "serious condition," Russian health minister says

From CNN's Darya Tarasova

Following the deadliest terror attack on Moscow in decades, 115 people have been hospitalized of which 60 are in a "serious condition," according to Russian Health Minister Mikhail Murashko. 

“We hospitalized 115 people, five of them are children. One child is in serious condition,” Murashko said in an early morning statment on Saturday according to Russian state media TASS.

UN chief strongly condemns "terrorist attack" in Russia

United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has condemned "in the strongest possible terms today's terrorist attack at a concert hall outside Moscow," according to a statement released by deputy spokesperson for the Secretary-General, Farhan Haq.

Russia arrests another suspect in the concert hall attack that killed 144

A Moscow court has detained another suspect as an accomplice in the attack by gunmen on a suburban Moscow concert hall that killed 144 people in March, the Moscow City Courts Telegram channel said Saturday.

Dzhumokhon Kurbonov, a citizen of Tajikistan, is accused of providing the attackers with means of communication and financing. The judge at Moscow’s Basmanny District Court ruled that Kurbonov would be kept in custody until May 22 pending investigation and trial.

Russian state news agency RIA Novosti said Kurbonov was reportedly detained on April 11 for 15 days on the administrative charge of petty hooliganism. Independent Russian media outlet Mediazona noted that this is a common practice used by Russian security forces to hold a person in custody while a criminal case is prepared against them.

Twelve defendants have been arrested in the case, including four who allegedly carried out the attack at the Crocus City Hall concert venue, according to RIA Novosti.

Those four appeared in the same Moscow court at the end of March on terrorism charges and showed signs of severe beatings. One appeared to be barely conscious during the hearing. The court ordered that the men, all of whom were identified in the media as citizens of Tajikistan, also be held in custody until May 22.

A faction of the Islamic State group has claimed responsibility for the massacre in which gunmen shot people who were waiting for a show by a popular rock band and then set the building on fire. But Russian officials including President Vladimir Putin have persistently claimed, without presenting evidence, that Ukraine and the West had a role in the attack.

Ukraine denies involvement and its officials claim that Moscow is pushing the allegation as a pretext to intensify its fighting in Ukraine .
