A vibrant music scene is directly linked to strong musical education in our local schools. That's why it's important to join NYC’s Nick Zinner of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Lucius, Kaki King, Marc Ribot, Julian Lage, Janis Ian and many more as they help fill children’s schools with affordable, high quality music instruction. The profits of this event organized by the D’Addario Foundation will be entirely donated to music programs that have demonstrated the ability to nurture underprivileged communities around the world.

Lucius is a band we've been cuddling with coverage since the very beginning - they landed on the cover of our Best NYC issue back in 2012. Their long awaited debut album 'Wildewoman' came out in 2013, and it's going to be released internationally in March, right after the band's multiple appearance at SXSW. The band just unveiled this stunning video for single "Turn It Around."

Lucius - featured on the cover of The Deli's Best of NYC 2011 issue - is currently on a mission to conquer Europe, and their gorgeously uplifting pop songs, combined with a truly amazing live show, will surely land resounding victories. The band also unvelied a new video for new single "Tempest" (streaming) from their much anticipated debut album "Wildewoman." By the way, we only use the word 'anticipated' when it's really necessary here, fans have been waiting for this album for friggin' EVA!!!

If you are planning on seeing Lucius in NYC, you are too late. Their two dates at Bowery on December 7-8 are sold out.

Lucius has been keeping us waiting for their debut album for way too long, but we can finally see that day on the horizon of time. The band just released the first single from upcoming debut LP "Wildewoman," entitled "Hey, Doreen" (streaming below, you can download it for free here). On the second half of 2013 the band is planning on taking their live show (without any doubt one of the best in town) all over the world, through an intense schedule of live performances all over North America and Europe. The only NYC show in the list - at Music Hall of Williamsburg on 08.14 - is sold out.

We added this song to The Deli's playlist of Best NYC songs by emerging NYC artists - check it out!

You should know by now that we have a soft spot for Ditmas Park based roots pop band Lucius. We've been waiting for their debut full length for way too long, so we see the release of this new single "Until We Get There' as an encouraging sign. The band has actually announced that the album will be released this fall, after a late spring US tour.
