David Wax Museum
February 2, 2012:
China, here we come!
Yep, you heard it right: we are touring in China! We've been invited to spend a week in China performing at the University of Shanghai. Stay tuned for exciting photos and videos of our time there in March. In other big news, we're opening for the Levon Helm Band in Northampton on March 2, and touring with the Carolina Chocolate Drops in the Midwest at the end of February.
But first and foremost on our mind is our NEW RECORD! We're raising money to pay for our new record and are almost halfway to our goal! Have you pledged yet?? Even a $15 pledge can make a big difference. In return, you'll get the record before anyone else and will gain access to exclusive videos and blogs from the studio.
The new album is really taking shape. We just have three days left of tracking and couldn't be happier with the direction of the album. Producer Sam Kassirer has once again led us into new and exciting sonic territory.
about the band...
Recently anointed as Boston’s Americana Artist of the Year (2010 Boston Music Awards), the David Wax Museum has been called “pure, irresistible joy” (Bob Boilen, NPR) and hailed by TIME.com for its “virtuosic musical skill and virtuous harmonies.” It is no surprise that its acclaimed performance at the 2010 Newport Folk Festival was hailed as one of highlights of the entire weekend by NPR. The Museum fuses traditional Mexican folk with American roots and indie rock to create an utterly unique Mexo-Americana aesthetic. Combining Latin rhythms, call-and-response hollering, and donkey jawbone rattling, they have electrified audiences across the country and are “kicking up a cloud of excitement with their high-energy border-crossing sensibility” (The New Yorker).
The band’s new album, Everything Is Saved, produced by Sam Kassirer (Josh Ritter), has been drawing rave reviews from all corners and has propelled the band into the national spotlight. With an illustration in The New Yorker, a feature in Paste Magazine, a Daytrotter session, a nod from TIME magazine as one of the top ten acts of this year’s South by Southwest, and an appearance on NPR’s World Café, the band has quickly become “one of the hottest new indie bands around” (Better TV).
