About The Temper Trap:
The Temper Trap have sold more than one million albums and
their songs have been streamed more than 200 million times on Spotify and 20
million times on YouTube. They first came to prominence in 2009 with their
acclaimed debut album Conditions, which, propelled by the global hits Sweet
Disposition, Fader and Love Lost, saw them crash land into the charts in their
native Australia, their adopted homeland of the UK, and worldwide. The band’s
self-titled second album, The Temper Trap, spawned the hits Trembling Hands and
Need Your Love, and saw them catch the attention of the likes of Coldplay,
Africa Express and the Rolling Stones, all of whom asked the band to join them
on tour, whilst they also graced the stages of major festivals including
Glastonbury, Lollapalooza, Leeds, Reading and Coachella. In between they were
nominated and won a number of prestigious ARIA Awards in Australia, as well as
receiving a nomination for best international group at the BRIT Awards.
The Temper Trap recently released their brand new studio
album Thick As Thieves which features the hit single Fall Together. Watch the

About Kaki King
“In her near-13-year career that’s seen six studio albums
and a Golden-Globe nomination for best original score, King has earned critical
acclaim for the way she combines unusual tunings, complex fingerstyle picking,
and slap bass techniques to create soundscapes that range from instrumental
acoustic work to high-voltage rock songs. Now, she’s using her guitar in an
entirely new way: as a projection screen."
The Atlantic
Hailed by Rolling Stone as “a genre unto herself,” composer
and guitarist Kaki King is a true iconoclast. Over the past 13 years the
Brooklyn-based artist has released 8 extraordinarily diverse and distinctive
albums, performed with such icons as Foo Fighters, Timbaland, and The Mountain
Goats, contributed to a variety of film and TV soundtracks including Golden
Globe-nominated work on Sean Penn’s Into The Wild, and played to an
increasingly fervent following of music lovers on innumerable world tours.
Her latest work, “The Neck Is A Bridge To The Body,” is Kaki
at her visionary best: deconstructing and redefining the role of solo
instrumental artist though virtuoso technique, insatiable imagination, and
boundless humanity. This groundbreaking new multi-media performance uses
projection mapping to present the guitar as an ontological tabula rasa in a
creation myth unlike any other, where luminous visions of genesis and death,
textures and skins, are cast onto her signature Ovation Adamas guitar which has
been customized specifically for this production.
In addition to her own solo work, Kaki sometimes performs
accompanied by NYC-based string quartet ETHEL. She has also performed at
Carnegie Hall, premiering a classical piece commissioned by Pulitzer
Prize-winning composer David Lang.
