Some 800 lucky fans will have the chance to see Robert Plant and The Sensational Space Shifters in one of their most intimate gigs to date. This Thursday, October 9, 2014, they will play a late-night set at the Brooklyn Bowl. Heading straight to the venue after an appearance on The Colbert Report that night, they will take the stage just after midnight. The special event will feature a DJ set from Questlove to start off the night. Tickets will go on sale this Tuesday, October 7, at 3pm ET.

This Thursday's show follows Plant's previously scheduled North American tour, which comes to a close Tuesday night in Los Angeles at the Hollywood Palladium. The tour, featuring music from Plant's new album, lullaby and... The Ceaseless Roar, his Nonesuch / Warner Bros. Records debut album, included two nights at the Brooklyn Academy of Music (BAM) last week as part of the Nonesuch Records at BAM celebration of the label's 50th anniversary.

While in Brooklyn, "Mr. Plant and some of his band members visited Brooklyn Bowl, the psychedelic club, which features a bowling alley next to its stage and dance floor," reports the New York Times. "The backing musicians bowled while Mr. Plant, apparently unrecognized by the public, took in part of a burlesque show, [club co-founder Peter] Shapiro said. A few days later he agreed to play the space."

To pick up a copy of lullaby and… The Ceaseless Roar, head to iTunes or the Nonesuch Store, where CD and vinyl orders include a free MP3 download of the complete album at checkout.

    David Longstreth’s Song of the Earth, a song cycle for orchestra and voices, is due April 4. Performed by Longstreth with his band Dirty Projectors—Felicia Douglass, Maia Friedman, Olga Bell—and the Berlin-based chamber orchestra s t a r g a z e, conducted by André de Ridder, the album also features Phil Elverum (Mount Eerie), Steve Lacy, Patrick Shiroishi, Anastasia Coope, Tim Bernardes, Ayoni, Portraits of Tracy, and the author David Wallace-Wells. Longstreth says that while Song of the Earth—his biggest-yet foray into the field of concert music—"is not a ‘climate change opera,’” he wanted to “find something beyond sadness: beauty spiked with damage. Acknowledgement flecked with hope, irony, humor, rage.”

Steve Reich and Musicians gave the world premiere performance of Drumming at the Museum of Modern Art in NYC in December 1971. Their 1987 Nonesuch recording is included in the forthcoming Steve Reich Collected Works, a twenty-seven disc box set, due March 14.
