Penguin Prison, Tom Schnabel and More on KCRW This Week

Upcoming Live Performances on MORNING BECOMES ECLECTIC with host JASON BENTLEY

Monday, July 27, Penguin Prison continues to evoke ‘80’s synth pop on his latest album and he’ll bring the dance party into our studio for a live session.

Wednesday, July 29, Rhythm Planet host Tom Schnabel visits MBE to share some magnificent Malian music from Bassekou Kouyate and Les Ambassadeurs.

Tuesday, August 4, Soul man Leon Bridges hails from Fort Worth, where he teamed up with members of fellow Texan band White Denim to produce his debut. He’s one of the most talked about new artists of the year and deservedly so.

Thursday, August 6, UK folk favorite Laura Marling moved boldly forward on her latest release, “Short Movie”. It was written on electric guitar and has a striking openness and intensity. Her last two visits to the station were solo acoustic sets, but this time she brings a full band to present these new songs.

Friday, August 7, Django Django, Scottish art rockers Django Django veer seamlessly between pop and psych-rock sounds with some synths and electronic music thrown in for good measure. It’s a musical melange that works really well and we look forward to welcoming them back to our studio.
