Their recent album "In Your Brain" was released on Ubiquity Records, the same label as my band Ikebe Shakedown. We toured The Netherlands, Belgium, France, Switzerland and Germany and had a blast, they're great dudes. Tomorrow we start a US run from Wichita to Buffalo - no rest for the weary!<br />

Here's a video of Aretha's classic "Baby I Love You" from The Blues Garage in Isernhagen, Germany (I solo a bit after the 3:30 mark), and part of Sly Stone's "Underdog" from a wild club show in Paris.<br />

Streetlight Manifesto recently went back to South America to play the WROS Fest in Sao Paolo, Buenos Aires and Santiago. It was a great experience, with amazing food/people/culture everywhere.

<br />
<b>Here's one of the tracks: "El Travieso Mayor"</b>, written by George Velez Jr. w/lyrics by George Velez Sr. The tune features the trombone section (Mike Engstrom on 1st, myself on 2nd), and <b>we solo around 3:08 (I'm the loud one). Scroll down for studio footage!</b><br />

Toubab Krewe is a great instrumental band that melds traditional Malian music with American music from the south, I'm happy to work with them!<br />
<br />
We got the <b>Ikebe Shakedown horns</b> together for 3 tracks off their upcoming EP, it was a great experience. The Toubab guys are all fun and humble guys, plus they're incredible musicians. I can't wait for the EP to drop! In the meantime, the Shakedown Horns played with them last evening at City Winery, it was a great time and the crowd was really into it (which helps when you're making it up on the spot). <b>Here's a clip, "John Hardy":</b><br />

<b>Streetlight Manifesto has a new album coming out 11/6 called "The Hands That Thieve"</b>. There will be no lack of high, loud trombone... In all seriousness I'm proud of the new album and excited to share the new tracks. It's by far the most ambitious, intricate recording that I've been a part of...to call the parts epic would be an understatement.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b> The Hands That Thieve </b>will drop smack in the middle of our <b>upcoming tour</b> (while we're on our "break" to hit South America). We'll be hitting a lot of familiar spots around the US with old friends <b>Lionize</b> (nice) and new friends from Portland/Warped Tour <b>"The Chicharones"</b>. The Chicharones are a rock solid live hip-hop band, extremely talented and all great guys. We'll also do some dates with punk rockers <b>Hostage Calm</b>. It's gonna be a good one!</div>

Streetlight Manifesto is heading to South America! We'll be in <b>Sao Paolo, Buenos Aires and Santiago</b> with the <b>WROS Fest</b>, a big ol' punk rock festival featuring big names like <b>Pennywise, Rise Against, Alkaline Trio, Anti-Flag, Strike Anywhere, A Wilhelm Scream and more.</b><br />
<br />
I can't wait! My last time (and first time) in Brazil was amazing but grueling: so many airports/vans and so little sleep, plus it was their winter. This time we're going at the start of their summer and the accommodations should be much nicer, plus I get to see Buenos Aires and Santiago!

It's been nice being home for so many months, I'm happy to say that <b><a href="http://www.facebook.com/ikebeshakedown">Ikebe Shakedown</a> and <a href="http://www.facebook.com/breakdownbrass">Breakdown Brass</a> singles are on the way</b>. I've had some fun gigs (Ikebe Shakedown's tour, sitting in with <b>Galactic</b>, recording for <b>Ghostface Killah's</b> upcoming album, a demo for <b>The Devil Makes Three</b>, tons of deep reggae recordings with <b>Clive Chin, Prince Polo,</b> etc.) That said, it's time to head back out with <b>Streetlight Manifesto!</b> We'll be doing the entire Warped Tour this summer, playing on the Main Stage. Sweet? You can see the individual dates <a href="http://nadavnirenberg.blogspot.com/p/schedule.html">on my calendar.</a><br />
<br />
<b> I'll be offering Trombone/Tuba/Improvisation/Arranging lessons every day at Warped Tour through BandHappy.com</b>, so I'm looking forward to meeting some young musicians and hanging! The other Streetlight dudes are teaching as well, I highly recommend Chris Thatcher, Pete McCullough, Matt Stewart, Mike Brown and Jim Conti as excellent musicians and experienced teachers.<br />

<span class="hasCaption"> Wow. I'm home/exhausted after 10 amazing days on the road with <a data-hovercard="/ajax/hovercard/page.php?id=68640188616" href="http://www.facebook.com/ikebeshakedown">Ikebe Shakedown</a>.
I'm happy to say it was a real success, the band has never sounded
better. Booking over 75% of the tour, acting as TM and yapping on the
mic was quite a learning experience, I'm glad I didn't screw it up.
HUGE thanks to the guys, the venues/promoters and everyone who came out
in Ithaca, Buffalo, Toronto, Hamilton, Ann Arbor, Detroit, Chicago and
Pittsburgh!</span><br />

<br />
I've had some really fun sessions recently at <a href="http://www.thekennelstudio.com/">The Kennel</a> with Billy Szeflinski (aka Prince Polo) and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clive_Chin">Clive Chin</a>. Billy and Clive are both heavy producers, Clive's<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_%22Randy%22_Chin"> father Vincent "Randy" Chin owned/operated "Randy's Studio 17" in Kingston, Jamaica</a> starting in the 1970's, where they worked with artists like Bob Marley, The Wailers, Lee "Scratch" Perry, Gregory Isaacs, Dennis Brown, Burning Spear, Lord Creator, etc.<br />
<br />
Clive has an insane amount of original, unreleased tapes featuring these legendary musicians. Together, Billy and Clive have begun digitizing these amazing tunes and preparing for quite the historic release. However, some songs are missing things like vocals, horns, etc. That's where I come in... <b>(more info/music after the jump)</b><br />
<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />
<br />
"Evening News" was <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lord_Creator">Lord Creator'</a>s first hit single in 1959, a great Calypso song with a classic old big band sound. When he moved to Jamaica and began an extremely successful career, he later had a hit by re-recording the song as a Ska. These 2 recordings are highly regarded, but very few people know he also recorded a Rocksteady version which was never released (and didn't have horns).<br />
<br />
Billy brought me in to arrange the horn parts based on the calypso version, and it came out great! 3 saxes, 2 trumpets and 1 trombone all recording live into one mic, old school. It was a great experience recording on top of such amazing, historic tracks. Special thanks to Jason Colby, Sam Hoyt, Peter Sparacino, Morgan Price, Freddy DeBoe and Jacob Teichrow for stepping in and nailing my charts!<br />

<br />
Recently I've spent much of my time booking an <a href="http://www.facebook.com/ikebeshakedown.com">Ikebe Shakedow</a>n tour to Chicago and back. It's by far the farthest, longest trip we'll ever have taken, and it's been quite an educational process. I'm not a fan of spending all my time emailing and calling venues, flipping between google maps tabs, etc.<br />
<br />
That being said, I'm happy to be seeing some results of the work that I and Robin (our guitarist) have been putting in. Here are the dates!<br />
<br />
<span class="commentBody" data-jsid="text">4.19 - Brooklyn NY - Barbes<br /> 4.24 - Philadelphia PA - World Cafe Live w/The Right Now<br /> 4.27 - Kingston NY - Keegan Ales<br /> 4.28 - Albany NY - Red Square w/Oobleck<br /> 5.4 - Providence RI - The Spot Underground<br /> 5.5 - Northampton MA - Bishops Lounge w/Shokazoba<br /> 5.11 - Ithaca NY - Castaways w/Mutron Warriors<br /> 5.12 - Buffalo NY - Nietzches w/Psychedelphia, Slip Madigan<br /> 5.14 - Hamilton ON - This Ain't Hollywood w/Sound One<br /> 5.15 - Toronto ON - The Rex Hotel<br /> 5.16 - Ann Arbor MI - Live<br /> 5.18 - Chicago IL - Double Door w/Soul Summit DJ's<br /> 5.19 - Pittsburgh PA - Thunderbird Cafe</span><br />
