The Pietasters New Year’s Day

Hailed as the original DC ska-soul outfit, the Pietasters have embarked once again on a tour to help you party your righteous asses off. The boys are on the move to do a little of the old and a little of the new. Their latest work is an LP titled All Day. Bassist and songwriter for the band, Jorge Pezzimenti, says the record, “is a version of what a van ride with us would be like…” Intriguing as that might sound SPIN magazine chimed in with their own load of like-age noting early on that the band has the sound of, “an equal opportunity dancehall crasher — part ‘60s keg rock, part 2Tone and part Motown.” Bring on the dancehall!

Chrisette Michele

This girl is R. E. A. L. real! We know Chrisette Michele has a flawless, Grammy-winning voice that could shake the foundations of towering cathedrals. Her vocals are soulful, aggressive and completely unapologetic but get ready for some rapping to accompany those vocals on the newest tracks. Chrisette has turned a new leaf with her latest album, Let Freedom Reign, and started staking a claim in some liberty of her own. “I used to be so afraid to say what I really think,” she says. “This album is about me just saying what I need to say, feeling what I need to feel, dressing how I want to dress and emoting how I want to.” And Michele, we ain’t mad at chew. We’re thrilled! And the outcome is a bold, 15 track record released by Def Jam this past November. Check out “I’m a Star,” “Goodbye Game” and “So In Love” feat. Rick Ross before you get to the show.
