Intern Update #2

Hey everybody, Sara and Claire here for round 2 of intern updates. A lot has happened since we last blogged; Glassnote has signed two new artists, Oberhofer and Childish Gambino, brought on two new members of the team, Marc Nicolas and Michael Starr, and gained a new intern, Neha!

In addition to learning how to work hard for the members of our ever-expanding family, we have also had very cool opportunities to see our artists in their element. Oberhofer played two amazing, high-energy shows at the Mercury Lounge Spotify event and at the Music Hall of Williamsburg's 4-Year Anniversary show. The band's talent seems completely effortless, they are able to thrash about wildly without missing a beat. Since the shows, the band has been hard at work in the studio writing their new album. They have an old-school, 50s/60s kind of vibe that's somehow infused with punk and surf, and we're excited for it to drop in 2012!

Two Door Cinema Club came through New York recently to play two shows as well, one for MTV Hive at the Studio at Webster Hall, and one at Terminal 5. Both sold out and the crowds were fantastic and full of die-hards. We also got to accompany the Glassnote team to a special Two Door acoustic session and interview. It was interesting to get a behind-the-scenes look at all of the work that goes into these things and very cool to watch a semi-private performance.

We have enjoyed seeing the interest in GIVERS continue to build as they prepare for their fall tour, and we loved watching their performance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” on Thursday! We're especially excited to catch up with them in person when they come through New York in October for their show with Portugal. The Man, as well as Royal Bangs who are fresh off their European tour with White Denim and embarking on another with Bear Hands and We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Donald Glover was in town a couple of weeks ago to celebrate Fashion’s Night Out. Drew accompanied him on a very rainy day to film a couple Childish Gambino interviews and exclusive performances over at VEVO, Baeble, AOL and Rolling Stone . We also got to hear a few new tracks and trust us, they are SICK. We can't wait to watch everyone's reactions when Camp is released, though the amount of hype we're seeing now is already overwhelming. He’ll be back in town in about 6 weeks for their sold-out show at Terminal 5, going to be such a fun time!

These are big times for Glassnote and we have been learning so much just by watching it all unfold. It is a beautiful era to be here.

Adam's Recap of Glassnote's Trip to Lollapalooza!

Another year has come and gone with another Lollapalooza in the books. This year the Glassnote Staff took to Chicago with Irish-born rocker Two Door Cinema Club as they continued to support their debut record Tourist History in the States. The festival served as a warm-up for when the band touches down in September with Bombay Bicycle Club and The Lonely Forest...

We first met up with the guys Thursday night for some authentic Chicago deep-dish pizza at Lou Manatalas. The wait was long, but well worth it and much needed as the guys had been up for about 30 hours straight at this point. Despite the exhaustion Kev still booked it into Chicago’s Beauty Bar for a sold-out DJ Set at 12:30AM. He spun some high energy, high bpm cuts across all different genres to keep Chicago’s natives sweating well into the early hours of the morning. Special thanks to the Beauty Bar for keeping us in the house long after last call and taking great care of us.

Friday morning brought an 11:15AM Lobby Call for the band and staff as we did interviews, took pictures, and played sessions for some of our favorite friends at MTV, Rolling Stone, Spin, AOL, Nylon, Virgin Mobile, Billboard, Sirius/XM, Slacker Radio, WXRT, CD101, The End in Seattle, WLUM in Milwaukee, The Edge in Toronto, WMYS in Milwaukee, and many many more. Despite this grueling schedule the guys collected themselves for an energetic and enthusiastic set on the Sony Stage at 5PM, following what could have been one of the most talked about sets of the day from our friends Foster The People. The crowd grew and grew as the band played on, and a personal highlight for me was seeing the hundreds of people get on each others shoulders as Alex instructed them and lead a huge dance party. It was absolute perfection as we looked on from the stage into the massive crowd of enthusiastic festival-goers.

After the bands’ set they went to their FYE Signing, where fans had lined up for a few hours to say hello, get pictures, and have the band and have their copies of Tourist History.

Later that night the guys played a party at The W Hotel with Fitz and the Tantrums sponsored by Belvedere Vodka. The band and party-goers helped themselves to some free vodka before retiring to the after-after party with our friends at The Hard Rock Hotel. Excitement was raging in the city of Chicago into the wee hours as we all retired to our respective hotel rooms.

Saturday morning brought a more relaxed vibe as the band got taken care of with some free swag from our friends at ADIDAS, BMF Media, Ray Ban, and many more. They had a great lunch with their agency before heading to the legendary Chicago station WXRT for 4 songs and an interview with PD Norm Winer, including a beautiful cover of “Blackbird”. Later that evening the band played a sold out gig at Lincloln Hall with friends Grouplove supporting. It was another amazing, sweaty, but fun set in a very intimate 500 capacity club, the likes of which Two Door Cinema Club have not played in ages. A truly special show for fans and friends alike, with a beautiful custom poster to commemorate the show.

All in all, it was an amazing Lollapalooza filled with both work and play. We wish the guys safe travels back to the UK and anxiously await their return to the US in September. Can’t wait to see them and everyone out at the shows! Make sure to get your tickets now if you haven’t already!

Much festival love,
Adam

What the Internet's saying about our bands:

"Kele totally cut loose onstage in a welcome way that he never had before, and his galvanizing single "Tenderoni" turned the entire Gobi Tent into a rave." --Yahoo! Music Blog

"[Two Door Cinema Club] have become very popular with the dorm-room set. Case in point: Their packed set at the Mojave Tent, where the band drew the same collegiate crowd that voted for them to win an mtvU Woodie award in March." --SPIN.com

"Irish indie-pop trio Two Door Cinema Club turned up the heat during its packed afternoon set. The group proved itself a festival-worthy act..." --Billboard.com

"[Mumford & Sons] still ended things with their most popular tune, 'The Cave,' that left no one standing, but dancing like mad people under the spell of the full moon." --Spinner

Last Night

One of the greatest things about live music, is that anything can happen.

Last night Two Door Cinema Club played to a sold out crowd at the Varsity Theater in Minneapolis, MN. If you've seen Two Door live or perhaps on the mtvU Woodies, then you know how great their drummer Ben is...also, you've noticed that he hits those drums HARD. Welp, last night his kick went right through the head of his bass drum...Minneapolis, we have a problem.

While Two Door's great crew scrambled to fix Ben's drums...Two Door went off set list and treated the audience to an impromptu acoustic performance of Simon & Garfunkel's "Cecilia"

Moments like these are why we love live music, and why we love Two Door Cinema Club. Check it out below.

SXSW 2011... it's going to be a hard one to beat


SXSW is always an exciting time, however this year was really special for us. We had Two Door Cinema Club, Royal Bangs and GIVERS all playing shows that week. SXSW kicked off with Two Door Cinema Club and Royal Bangs playing a sold out show at La Zona Rosa. On Wednesday, Two Door Cinema Club not only performed on the mtvU Woodies but also won Breaking Woodie! Apparently the whole world saw the Glassnote team jumping out of our seats! I have to admit we were all pretty excited! Both Royal Bangs and GIVERS played a bunch of showcases, each show was even better than the last. Check out just a few of the articles written about each of the bands! We all left Austin feeling very proud and very lucky to have the honor of working with these incredible Artists.

Two Door Cinema Club wins at 2011 Woodie Awards!

Two Door performs "What You Know"

Host Donald Glover of Community (and rapper in his own right!)

Winners of 2011 Breaking Woodie Award!

Sam snaps a picture of the audience...

...and posts it on Twitter after the show!

Last night at the 2011 mtvU Woodie Awards (which took place at Austin Music Hall in Austin, TX, in the midst of the SXSW festival), Two Door Cinema Club put on a fantastic performance and took home the Breaking Woodie Award!

The Irish trio performed in front of the colored doors from their What You Know video to an enthusiastic audience, despite it being 11PM. But the mtvU Woodies is all about music college students love, and their favorite breakthrough artist was Two Door.

The Breaking Woodie Award was determined by how many tweets, re-tweets, and Facebook posts each band could rack up. Kev made sure to thank their fans during the acceptance speech!
