Live electro hip-hop soul sounds and beaming lights (most likely) are coming to a TV near you. Pretty Lights will hold its first ever Pay-Per-View concert on Saturday November 30th at 9pm PST (yes, that means midnight for you east coast folks).
Since 2006, Pretty Lights has released over 19 million album downloads to fans, free of charge. This show will cost you, though. You can get the performance for $19.95 via IN DEMAND, Avail-TVN, DIRECTV, and DISH Network.
A Color Map of the Sun, was the first Pretty Lights album released digitally and physically, concurrently. Rolling Stone called it a "uniquely crafted, groove-centric head trip."
Soulive's Eric Krasno worked on the album, along with drummer Adam Deitch, Brian Coogan (New Orleans All-Star) and Derek Vincent Smith, the main man behind the project -- Pretty Lights is his stagename. Drummer Deitch and Coogan will join Vincent Smith in the performance, along with Scott Flynn (John Brown's Body) on trombone, Eric Bloom (Lettuce) on trumpet and keyboardist Borahm Lee (Break Science). Vincent Smith is looking forward to the experience, according to a press release:
"I have never had so much fun performing live as I am having on the Pretty Lights 2013 Analog Future Tour. The fact that people will be able to experience the performance via countless cameras on television in their own home makes me so excited because those viewers will get to glimpse the full extent of what is actually happening on stage," said Vincent Smith. "Electronic music is booming but the Pretty Lights show is wildly different and exponentially more sophisticated than what people assume about a typical EDM show. I believe that this performance/Pay-Per-View experience will be one of a kind and shed light on the evolution of electronic based music," he added.
Live Alliance is producing the concert. Would you host a viewing party for this show?
