Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox
Proving that everything new can be old again, pianist Scott Bradlee has become a viral pop sensation after creating a series of clips for YouTube that find him and his ad hoc group 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 showing how Ke$ha's ‘Die Young’ would work as a classic country tune. Now, Bradlee brings his stylish sounds to Spain for a one-off show that will captivate music lovers with his fascinating groove. The event will be on Sunday June 29 at Bikini in Barcelona.
Tickets for the show are already available through www.doctormusic.com and www.ticketmaster.es, also at Fnac, Viajes Carrefour and Halcón Viajes, by phone at 902 15 00 25 and through the usual sale outlets from Ticketmaster network. Ticket price is 23 Euros (booking fees not included).
In 2012, Bradlee got his first taste of viral success when he released A Motown Tribute to Nickelback, in which he and a handful of musicians and vocalists reworked a handful of tunes by the Canadian hard rock act into '60s- influenced R&B arrangements. Becoming more ambitious, Bradlee began working with a rotating group of musicians dubbed Postmodern Jukebox (often featuring vocalist Robyn Adele Anderson) who tackled Bradlee's arrangements which cast current pop songs in radically different styles, usually in live sessions filmed with a single camera in Bradlee's home. As Bradlee wrote on his website, "My goal with Postmodern Jukebox is to get my audience to think of songs not as rigid, ephemeral objects, but like malleable globs of Silly Putty. Songs can be twisted, shaped, and altered without losing their identities -- just as we grow, age, and expire without losing ours."
After Postmodern Jukebox's cover of ‘We Can't Stop’ racked up over four million views on YouTube (more than eight million so far), Bradlee and his crew became official internet stars, appearing on the TV chat show "Good Morning America" and being interviewed on National Public Radio. Scott Bradlee & Postmodern Jukebox have become undoubtedly a YouTube phenomenon with millions of views of their videos and over 430,000 subscribers, and growing at a rapid pace. And their covers go even further, Beyoncé was the latest artist to like their music, as she posted their video of ‘Drunk in Love’ on her Facebook fan page and it received over 50,000 likes. Amazing!
