Herbert w/ Live Band & Skye (The Voice Of Morcheeba)
Wednesday, August 23 2006
Irving Plaza, New York NY


event description
Giant Step is proud to announce Matthew Herbert featuring his live band and a special performance by Skye - the voice of Morcheeba.

Known for stretching boundaries and breaking the conventions traditionally associated with electronic music, UK artist Matthew Herbert has delivered nine albums of self-written, produced and performed music. He has also contributed production work to Bjork and remixed artists as varied as Moloko, R.E.M., Perry Farrell, Serge Gainsbourg, Zero 7, Yoko Ono, John Cale, The Avalanches and Cornelius. His latest album released earlier this year, "Scale" is a culmination of these achievements, with mixings of luxuriant jazz, sumptuous disco and sensual house rhythms. In this rare NY performance, Herbert will drop his funky house beats alongside his live band.

Voice of UK trip-hop, r&b and pop band Morcheeba for 7 years, SKYE prepares for the release of her first solo album in August. Featuring soulful, story-telling tracks produced by Pat Leonard (Pink Floyd, Madonna) and Daniel Lanios (U2, Bob Dylan, Emmylou Harris),
Mind How You Go tells the story of Skye's personal journey like you've never heard her before.

Come see Skye sing her brand new tracks live as she opens for Matthew Herbert Wednesday, August 23rd at Irving Plaza.
