Next week's Live Spotlight: POP DELL'ARTE - December 25th - MusicBox

Pop Dell'Arte: the name says everything. Crossing true dadaist strategies with an amalgam of pop, rock, dance, funk, ethnic rhythms and experimental textures, this group (lead by visionary mastermind João Peste since 1984) has been striving to widen the boundaries of the portuguese popscene for almost 30 years.
As it has happened for some years now (first on the extinct Cabaret Maxime, and currently on MusicBox), Pop Dell'Arte are doing a Christmas show, this time exactly on Christmas day. An excellent timing to discover a band expert in breaking conventions.

Next week's Live Spotlight: DEAD COMBO: "4 Noites, 4 Discos" - December 12/13/14/15th - Galeria Zé dos Bois

Practitioners of a mixture of western soundtracks, fado instrumentals and Tom Waits atmospheres, the mighty Dead Combo arose 10 years ago, from a meeting between a jazz bassist and an alt.rock guitarist, becoming a sensation almost instantly.
In 2013, Dead Combo continue to push boundaries while expanding their popularity: their 4th album Lisboa Mulata saw them including African influences into their sonic bouquet, while an appearance on Anthony Bourdain's "No Reservations" brought them worldwide visibility. As a part of their 10th anniversary, Pedro Gonçalves and Tó Trips are going to revisit each of their 4 albums during 4 nights at Galeria Zé dos Bois, an excellent opportunity to be introduced to their exquisite soundworld. Prepare yourself for an unforgettable experience!
