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.
