RECAP
Radiohead returned to Madrid’s Movistar Arena to wrap up the first stop on their long–awaited reunion tour. The legendary avant-rock quintet promised a different show for all 20 dates on their first tour in seven years, and the final pair of performances on November 7 and 8 continued that trend after their exhilarating kickoff and a follow-up that swapped out more than half of their setlist.
JMMR, the bold new project from Grammy-nominated Antibalas trumpeter Jordan McLean, drops debut album "Resistance is Fertile" 11/21 on Nublu Records—birthing "Electrobeat," where synthetic meets organic. Featuring members of Antibalas, Iron & Wine, The Roots, TV on the Radio & David Byrne!

FEATURE
Stuart Bogie has long made his mark on the live-music circuit. As a saxophonist, he spent over 15 years as a core member of Afrobeat pioneers Antibalas—and still collaborates with the veteran group and other members of the extended Daptone family to this day. As a sideman, he’s toured the world with major indie-rock and pop acts like Arcade Fire and TV on the Radio, racking up credits with The Hold Steady, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, James Murphy, Hamilton Leithauser, Kevin Morby, members of The National and even Taylor Swift along the way. And, in the core jamband world, he’s one of the few people who has shared the stage with Phil Lesh & Friends, Phish, Goose, Joe Russo’s Almost Dead, the Disco Biscuits, String Cheese Incident and Medeski Martin & Wood—to the point where it often feels like a Bogie sit in feels as essential to a band’s New York visit as a pretzel or slice of pizza.

To preview the project, he’s shared “The Man I’m Supposed to Be,” a rough and apprehensive affirmation on striving to become his best self and to “Take life seriously/ Laugh in the face of death.”
