The Both Tickets
The Both Tickets
What began as a tale of two Twitter accounts between the hardcore-punk veteran, Ted Leo and the Oscar nominated singer-songwriter, Aimee Mann has now matured into the formation of a duo '#Both'. The artists have just finalized their EP that features approximately six original, rock oriented songs. Their upcoming concert will be featuring singles they have written together and also their own original melodies. Sale of The Both tickets for the event has already begun.
At a time when it seemed impossible for indie rock music to ever find a way to get mainstream acceptance, Ted Leo with his music laid the foundation for 'emo' and hardcore bands. His melodies combined pop music from the sixties with punk melodies of the seventies and pleased both the intellectual mind and the sugar craving ear.
The artist has released six studio albums from the start of his career to date and has highlighted two decades with singles like The Oldest House and Bottle in the Cork. Leo is often compared to the well known artists Elvis Costello and Billy Bragg for his music and takes his influence from Curtis Mayfield. His love for Mayfield's music is reflected by his statement 'All of Curtis' records are such amazing examples of seeing the whole person. You have this beautiful and amazing love song next to a derisive political song. That's always been the ideal way to go about things for me.'
Ted Leo won the Shorty Award for the 'Best Twitter Feed' in the category of music and was able to beat the strong competition put forth by Britney Spears and Justin Bieber. It is through this platform that his discussion over music with Aimee Mann matured into compiling a brand new EP, '#Both.'
The Grammy Award winning artist, Amiee Mann is a multitalented singer who is also a songwriter, bassist and guitarist at the same time. She is appreciated for her songs about narcissists that sound different from the other rock songs. Mann isn't mired in writing love songs only but is more into using the ignored human feeling as the subject of her singles.
She released her first album, 'Whatever' in the early nineties that although it did not get a lot of sales but was met with critical praise. This was followed by another album release in the era, 'I'm with Stupid' which also garnered positive reviews and modest commercial success. This experience led to an improved sound of the artist in the beginning of 2000s and till now he has released six studio albums that have been successful and featured hit singles such as Lost In Space, Beautiful and Borrowing Time.
Aimee Mann and Ted Leo will perform rock melodies starting from the era of eighties till date in their upcoming concert 'Both'. It is scheduled at the nightclub, Troubadour, West Hollywood that is known as a major center for folk music and also for singers of rock music. The venue was opened in the late fifties and has launched some of the most talented performers of contemporary music. Artists like James Taylor, Elton John and Tom Waits gave a few of their early performances here and state it to be one of their most memorable ones.
The Troubadour is specifically one of the famous venues among music fans who not only want to enjoy live quality music but also want an intimate and historically rich setting. The comfortable seating arrangement along with the state-of-the-art equipment makes the venue more attractive option for attending the event. This concert is all the more special because the duo is performing together for the first time live after their famous Twitter tale. The Both tickets are selling on discounted rates.
