American Express Presents Emerging Artists: thenewno2
Thursday, July 16, 2009; 8:00 pm




Psychedelic art rockers thenewno2 will be the focus of the Museum's third Emerging Artists showcase, taking place in the 200-seat GRAMMY Sound Stage. Featuring guitarist/synth/vocalist Dhani Harrison and drums/synth Oli Hecks, the band describes their music as "an eerie terrain of digital beats, heavy guitars with an arsenal of studio confectionary." Recently featured in Rolling Stone, LA Weekly, and one of the final guests on the Late Show with Conan O'Brien, Harrison and Hecks will join Executive Director Robert Santelli for an insightful discussion about the group's debut album, You Are Here, and their experiences in music, design and film. An intimate performance will close the evening.

All proceeds benefit The GRAMMY Museum. American Express presale begins via Ticketmaster.com on June 18, 2009. Presale price is $10 and includes a program ticket, a beer and wine reception on the Museum's Target Terrace (7 to 8pm), and a copy of the CD, You Are Here. Doors open at 6:30pm, so guests have the opportunity to tour the Museum beforehand. American Express is the exclusive payment method for presale packages.
