episode Jason Perry talks A's return after 20 years with 'PRANG' cover

Description

#90salternative #00srock #a ‘ A’ have just announced details of their first studio album in over 20 years, PRANG. The alt.rock faves will follow-up 2005’s Teen Dance Ordinance on May 22 via Cooking Vinyl, with vocalist Jason Perry explaining of their mindset in putting it together: “There’s a messiness to it that allows our personality to come through — which is where the magic really happens. I don’t want anyone to put on an ‘A’ record and think it sounds like it was hard work making it. Life’s hard enough – there has to be fun in making music.” Get your limited-edition hand-signed copy of PRANG with K! x ‘A’ sticker Jason adds that, “By the end of ‘A’ in 2005, I felt like we didn’t have anything to say anymore. Now, I really do. We had to go and live a life. We’ve seen massive lows that we’ve helped each other through. This album is gratitude – gratitude for friendship, for still making music, for still being alive.”

Leo Woodall and Havana Rose Liu talk working with Dustin Hoffman on Tuner, learning piano and MORE!

When two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman first read the script for the indie film,  “Tuner,” he was surprised how Academy Award-winning documentary director Daniel Roher (“Navalny”) had navigated his first narrative fiction thriller. When two-time Oscar winner Dustin Hoffman first read the script for the indie film,  “Tuner,” he was surprised how Academy Award-winning documentary director Daniel Roher (“Navalny”) had navigated his first narrative fiction thriller. Having spent his life playing piano and taking legendary roles like “The Graduate” and “Midnight Cowboy,” Hoffman had attended the Los Angeles Conservatory of Music, and actually hoped to become a concert pianist. “The role of a piano tuner immediately resonated with me on a personal level,” he said.  “This was the first time in over 50 years of doing this, a guy came up to me and said, I wrote this for you,” he acknowledged during a press chat.   Hoffman plays veteran tuner Harry Horowitz, a gifted man who is well-versed in fixing pianos. Later, at a private screening at Black Bear Pictures in Los Angeles, the seven-time Academy Award nominee told the audience: “Somehow Daniel knew that (in real life) I played the piano.” He continued: “Daniel sent me a script, and I liked it very much. I told him it was very well written….I was in Europe, and he flew over to London on his own dime, and we just talked….What particularly struck me was the original way the story evolved into a heist genre; it felt fresh and compelling.” Hoffman said he was “shocked” because he had never met anyone like Roher before, who had worked on many layers of the crime-romance..   For more visit: https://www.soundspheremag.com/ [https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbDhud2lWbHNrYnJvNFZXUTZlM0hQWG1QTGRzQXxBQ3Jtc0tuNGhReG5mcE9RWlRWRHAxOTN0bDZVR0s3T0phcXE0cmNTOGdaQlNVc2lnZU5IbHN0UVVZQVdMVzZCVzhRWXB1ZlNfRWctQWQxdHdIQTN2aTdBR3ZMeUV1YnRPcEJqNlltbk9fM0xiMDBmTnYxcmpUMA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.soundspheremag.com%2F&v=4PcnQWi-ePc]
