Japanese trio Boris will be performing Pink in its entirety to celebrate the 10th Anniversary of their record.
That’s not all, you can get a chance to pick up a new Deluxe Edition of Pink, featuring the original track listing, plus unreleased tracks on a glorious 3xLP box set or 2xCD set.



It’s hard to believe that Boris still maintained their classic trio lineup for over 20 years and really hasn’t showed signs of slowing down.



Sargent House’s new labelmates Earth will join Boris for the USA dates (sorry, Canada and your “work Visas”).



Also newspaper unfriendly band name Sh**storm will open.

Ke$ha

Oh, god, I don’t even know why I love Ke$ha. The first time I heard “Tik Tok” from her debut album Animal, I had to stop and ask “who IS THIS?”. After investigating / hearing more


KESHA

at Aria

Thursday, 08/18/16, 7:30pm ($28 / Sold Out)


ariampls.com



Popstar Kesha is now free to work on (new) music (Zedd and Kesha’s recent single ‘True Colors’ is out now on Interscope / Kemosabe / RCA Records).
It should be noted that ‘True Colors’ is Kesha’s first music in over three years since her court case with former producer Dr. Luke.



The new tour is called “F**k the World” tour, and billed as Kesha and the Creepies, which we are assuming The Creepies is her live band.



Kesha adds, “The day has come that I, now, present to you, Kesha and The Creepies. This project and upcoming tour comes from my deep eternal love of dirty rock & roll and country music. I thrive from making and performing music, and much like a flower with no sun, my soul slowly dies when I don’t get to create and perform. So, for a short ride and in mostly small intimate venues, I will be performing a new creepy creation. It’s been too long. Until I can release my own music I will be reinventing some of my old songs and some of my favorite songs from my musical idols. I’ve hand picked songs from artists that have helped shape who I am and the music I make today. I have missed you, all of you, so if you would like to boogie, come join us.”



Although most fans may know her from autotuned pop hits like ‘TiK ToK’ and ‘We R Who We R’… from the sound of it, she is changing her music direction to more southern rock and country music and will mostly play new ‘Creepy’ Will fans follow her in this new venture? Based on the sold-out status of the upcoming Aria show… yes, of course.
