He promised to return and we will not have to wait any more. Scott Bradlee and his Postmodern Jukebox will play on 23rd and 24th February at Caracol in Madrid and at Apolo in Barcelona. Bradlee brings his stylish sounds to Spain to captivate music lovers with his fascinating groove. Jazz, pop, swing, folk, everything is possible in his great covers catalogue.
Tickets for their show in Madrid are already sold out, but you can still obtain tickets for Barcelona through festival-millenni.com. The ticket price is 24 euros (booking fees not included).
Scott Bradlee has become a viral pop sensation after creating a series of clips for YouTube that find him and his ad hoc band, Postmodern Jukebox, reworking 21st century pop hits in a variety of vintage styles – transforming Miley Cyrus' ‘We Can't Stop’ into a '50s-style doo wop number, giving Macklemore's ‘Thrift Shop’ a '20s jazz accent, crossing Daft Punk's ‘Get Lucky’ with Irish folk music, and giving a New Orleans flavor to Guns N’ Roses’ ‘Sweet Child o’ Mine’.
Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox go beyond simple covers, bringing us closer to the great 20th-century musical styles, shaping essential songs of current pop. After Postmodern Jukebox's cover of ‘We Can't Stop’ racked up over four million views on YouTube (more than 10.5 million so far), Bradlee and his band became official internet stars, appearing on the TV chat show "Good Morning America" and being interviewed on National Public Radio.
Last September Scott Bradlee released his lastest album, Historical Misappropriation, which reached the Top 10 of Billboard’s Jazz Album chart. Now thinking about their forthcoming tour, Bradlee defines ‘It’s a variety show, a musical revue featuring special guests. Coming to a PMJ show is like time-traveling back to Old Hollywood – it’s an experience.’ Developing that atmosphere for audiences appears to be their ultimate mission.
