Bombino performs in The Current studios<br />
June 13, <strong>2013</strong><br />
When Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys invites you to his Nashville studio Easy Eye<br />
Sound, you know you've got talent. The Grammy Award winner met with Niger-native<br />
Omar Moctar to speak the language of rock and roll, eventually producing Moctar's third<br />
studio album, which landed at #1 on the Billboard World Music chart in its debut week.<br />
Har Mar Superstar performs in The Current studios<br />
June 9, <strong>2013</strong><br />
Sean Tillmann's Har Mar Superstar has long retained a rabid fanbase eager to see his onstage<br />
schtick: stripping down to his undies accompanied by retro beats from his MiniDisc<br />
player. In the past several years, Har Mar's profile has continued to rise, especially with<br />
the support of well-regarded musicians and actors. Now he's pulling a 180 and going the<br />
funk and soul direction for his best album yet.<br />
Rising Scottish trio CHVRCHES performs in The Current studios<br />
June 8, <strong>2013</strong><br />
Glasgow group CHVRCHES is making well-deserved waves amongst electro-pop music<br />
buffs. Last March they crossed the Atlantic for their first US performance at the massive<br />
South by Southwest festival in Austin, TX. They've been compared to Purity Ring, which<br />
isn't a surprise considering their synth-heavy sound and leading lady Lauren Mayberry's<br />
melodious, ethereal vocals.<br />

EP "Fine Hearts Alive." Their first release since 2011 sees added instrumentation, lush<br />
arrangements and an affinity for soundscapes.<br />
Enemy Planes performs in The Current studios<br />
May 26, <strong>2013</strong><br />
When Enemy Planes comes up in conversation, the same thing is always said: "What<br />
happened to Pictures Of Then?" That band essentially disappeared as Enemy Planes came<br />
into existence, leading many to think that they had split up. In reality, they're still<br />
together, but Enemy Planes explores a new direction, one that's heavily atmospheric,<br />
moody and laden with their most complex instrumentation yet.<br />
